[00:00] Birds Don't Sing

She said, "How could you joke at a time like this?"
I know why, because this is what you wanted all along now, isn't it?
I think that all you ever really ever wanted was a reason to complain
That never stopped you before, don't let it get in your way
Those are her words, not mine
As far as I'm concerned, we could've had a good time, so
If you walk out that door in disgust
I guess there's nothing more to discuss
Birds don't sing, they just fall from the sky
Girls don't call, and they never tell you why
That's just how they say goodbye
Goodbye
Don't listen to my music, don't lie in my bed
Don't listen to the references
To things you might have actually said
'Cause those are my words, not yours
As far as I'm concerned, it could've been a lot worse
I wasn't trying to avoid the confrontation
She isn't crying, she's just making conversation
Birds don't sing, they just fall from the sky
Girls don't call, and they never tell you why
That's just how they say goodbye
Goodbye

[03:29] Lovers Rock

Are you sick of me?
Would you like to be?
I'm trying to tell you something
Something that I already said
You like a pretty boy
With a pretty voice
Who is trying to sell you something
Something that you already have
But if you're too drunk to drive
And the music is right
She might let you stay
But just for the night
And if she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of this song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave you alone with nothing
And leave you alone with nothing
While the others talk
We were listening to lovers rock
In her bedroom
In her bedroom
And if you start to kiss
And the record skips
Flip it over
And sit a little closer
But if you're too drunk to drive
And the music is right
She might let you stay
But just for the night
And if she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of this song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave you alone with nothing
And leave you alone with nothing
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave you alone with nothing
And leave you alone with nothing

[07:03] Hate Yourself

You
You'd fall in love with anyone
I'd think you'd fall in love with anyone
Who fell in love with you
And they frequently do
So take comfort
Cruel comfort
Before you start to wonder
How you got locked inside your room
And how long will it...
Take?
Before you start to hate yourself
And go straight
To the arms of someone else
And I'll just
Wait
'Till those arms belong to me and I'm not
Saying that you love me
I'm not saying any...
Thing
Tell me
Do you let them down, gently?
Does it only make it harder?
To let the feeling linger
To drag it out a little longer
Does it put your mind at ease?
But you're the one who brought 'em here
You're the one who has to take them when you leave
And how long will it...
Take?
Before you start to hate yourself
And go
Straight to the arms of someone else
And I'll just
Wait
'Till those arms belong to me
And I'm not saying that you love me
I'm not saying any...
Thing
And how long will it...
Take?
Before you start to hate yourself
And go...
Straight to the arms of someone else
And I'll just...
Wait
'Till those arms belong to me
And I'm not
Saying that you love me
I'm not saying any...

[10:37] Pantyhose

Boys march into war
To serve and defeat
They were younger than me
Guns poke through the trees
Death on a limb
They were aiming at him
And when the bullets came, he didn't duck
He wrapped her pantyhose around his neck
And he could feel the magic work
Keeping him from harm
Away to someplace mystical and warm
His lucky charm
Then he got caught
No cover at all
He breathed in her scent
Not even a scratch
He didn't die
When he stepped on a mine
They were violet and soft
It didn't go off
And when her letter came, he didn't cry
He wrapped her pantyhose around his eyes
And he could feel the magic work
Keeping him from harm
Even though she didn't love him anymore
Can't kill that lucky charm

[13:34] Cigarettes out the Window

My girl Liddy used to always smoke
Cigarettes when she couldn't sleep
She'd disappear for an hour and a half
And when she'd come back she'd brush her teeth
But I could still smell it on her raggedy tee
And I could taste it on her lips when we kiss
Poor little Liddy used to always quit
But she never really quit
She'd just say she did
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
My girl Liddy used to always smoke
Cigarettes when she couldn't sleep
I wonder what she did when she got done
I guess she'd just flick them out in the street
Poor little Liddy, she wishes it was dark
But it's never really dark in L.A.
The light from the billboard always shines
But it changed twelve times since you went away
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
Cigarettes, cigarettes out the window (oh-oh)
We'll find moonlit nights strangely empty
Because when you call my name through them
There will be no answer
Rather melodramatic, aren't you?
We'll find moonlit nights strangely empty
Because when you call my name through them
There will be no answer
You mind if I smoke?
We'll find moonlit nights strangely empty
Because when you call my name through them
There will be no answer
I always smoke in the theater
We'll find moonlit nights strangely empty
Because when you call my name through them
There'll be no answer
Somehow it enhances the performance

[16:53] The Getaway

Well, this thing that we had built
Was flaying into shreds
It was short and it was dry
Like the hair on a shrunken head
And all the king's men spread the pieces on the floor
By the time they fit together, we had forgotten what they were for
Pretending like she's beautiful in the pictures I can see
But she only picks the good ones
That's more than I can say for me
But that's the way it always starts
Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
Always making out like bandits
'Til you get away and it falls apart
It falls apart
You're always dressed up like a priest
You're always drilling through the wall
Cracking the safe and skipping town
While poor Rosemary takes the fall
You're always looking for the future
Rinsing out the dye
Looking for a moral to the story
That sounded good and happened to rhyme
Rosemary on the gallows
Dressed like nothing's wrong
No funeral, no flowers
For an outlaw in a song
But that's the way it always goes
Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
Always making out like bandits
'Til you get away and it falls apart
It falls apart
But that's the way it always goes
Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
Always making out like bandits
'Til you get away and it falls apart
It falls apart
That's the way it always goes (that's the way it always goes)
That's the way it always goes (that's the way it always goes)
That's the way it always goes (that's the way it always goes)
Feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
