Smoke
Ben Folds Five

 
Leaf by Leaf,
 and page by page,
 throw this book away.
 All the sadness,
 all the rage,
throw this book away.
 
Rip out the binding,
 and tear the glue.
 All the grief we never even knew,
 we had it all along,
 now it's,
 
Smoke.
 
 
All the things we've written in it,
never really happened.
 
All the things we've written in it,
never really happened.
 
All of the people come and gone,
never really lived,
 and all the people come have gone,
 no-one to forgive.
 
Smoke.
 
 
We will never write a new one.
 There will not be a new one,
another one,
 
another one.

 Here's an evening dark with shame, throw it on the fire.
 Here's the time I took the blame, throw it on the fire.
 
Here is the view we didn't speak, it seemed, for years and years,
 and here's the secret no-one will ever know.
 No reasons for the tears, made of smoke.
 
Smoke.
 
Smoke.

 We will not write a new one.
 There will never be a new one,
 another one,
 another one.
 Another one.
 Where do all the secrets live,they travel in the air.
 
You can smell them when they burn, travelling.
 Those who say the past is not dead,
 come and smell the smoke.
 You keep saying the past is no dead,
 stop and smell the smoke.
 
You keep on saying the past is not even past,
 you keep saying,
 we are smoke.
 Smoke


i think you're the least fucked up
person i've ever met
and that may be as close to the real thing
as i'm ever gonna get
but my quarter's gonna run out now
or so i'm told
i guess i'd better go sit down
and wait for you
till my coffee gets cold...

Battle of Who Could Care Less


Do you not hear me anymore?

I know it's not your thing to care

I know it's cool to be so bored

Sucks me in when you're aloof

It sucks me in, it sucks it works

I guess it's cool to be alone

Will you never rest

Fighting the battle of who could care less

Everyday you wake up late

Sometimes I wish I was that way

And you think Rockford Files is cool

But there are some things that you would change if it were up to you

So think about your masterpiece

Watch the Rockford Files

Call to see if Paul can score some weed

Will you never rest

Fighting the battle of who could care less

Unearned unhappiness

That's alright I guess

I've got this great idea

Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin fuckin' Mint

Fine pewter portraits of general apathy

And major boredom singing...

Whatever and ever amen

Oh well, maybe not, I'll try again

This should cheer you up for sure

See I've got your old ID

You're all dressed up like the Cure

You never rest

Fighting the battle of who could care less

Unearned unhappiness

You're my hero I confess





All I've undergone
I will keep on
Underneath it all
We feel so small
The heavens fall
But still we crawl
All I've undergone
I will keep on

Since this is the only Ben Folds Five song that I know,I might as well post it..

Brick


6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in
the dark
The smell of cold
car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping and
I am numb
Up the stairs to her apartment
she is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down
to Charlotte
they're not home to find us
out
and we drive
now that I have founds someone
I'm feeling more alone
than I ever have before

CHORUS
She's a brick and I'm drowning
slowly
off the coast and I'm headed
nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning
slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
then I walk down to buy her
flowers
and sell some gifts that I got
can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
than she ever has before

CHORUS

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son it's time
to tell the truth
and she broke down and I broke
down
'cause I was tired of lying
Driving back to her apartment
for the moment we're alone
she's alone
and I'm alone
Now I know it

CHORUS

Philosophy


Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar, block, and glass
And check out the reflections in my eyes
See they always used to be there
Even when this was all was grass
And I sang and danced about a high-rise

And you were laughing at my helmet hat
Laughing at my torch

Go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

I see that there is evil
And I know that there is good
And the in-betweens I never understood
Would you look at me I'm crazy
But I get the job done
I'm crazy but I get the job done

So go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down

I pushed you cause I loved you guys
I didn't realize
That you weren't having fun
And I dragged you up the stairs
And I told you to fly
You were flapping your arms
Then you started to cry, you were too high

Now you take this all for granted
You take the mortar, block, and glass
And you forget the speech that moved the stone
And it's really not that you can't see
The forest from the trees
You just never been out in the woods alone

So you can laugh all you want to
But I've got my philosophy
And I love you you're my friend
But you got no philosophy
Now it's time for this song to end




Guard within yourself that treasure, kindness! ~GS
So what if I'm a good girl? It doesn't mean I can't defend myself!

hehe betcha didn't think I was into these guys...here's the song that got me into them

UNDERGROUND

I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me
And now it's been 10 years
I'm still wonderin' who to be
But I'd love to mix
In circles, cliques, and social coteries - that's me
Hand me my nose ring (Can we be happy?)
Show me the mosh pit (Can we be happy?)
We can be happy underground

Who's got the looks, who's got the brains
Who's got everything
I got this pain in my heart, that's all
Hey you with the long and lonely face
There's got to be something else
Let me tell ya something else
There was this girl who passed me by
She gave a smile but I was shy
I looked down, so down
Don't look there no no, go go underground
But now there's a place to go
It's the morning, it's the evening
It's everything
I click my heels and I'm there

Underground, underground
Everything's happy underground
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here
Everything's heavy underground

We'll be decked in all black and
Slamming the pit fantastic
Officer Friendly's little boy's got a mohawk
He knows just where we're coming from
It's industrial, work it underground
Get down, get down, get down

Underground, underground
Everything's happy underground
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here
Everything's heavy underground






Silent hell on the marble slab
The best trip that I've ever had
Higher than a jet plane, pass it around
My drinks on empty, need another round

I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Is this the best that you can do?
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Higher than a jet plane with you
