    Intro

    Cocoon Crash

    Every single night in bed
    A black cross says: "Perhaps you're getting better
    I'd like to thank you for your efforts
    To promote what really matters
    Whenever you're about to fall
    Remember this, it's not a news flash
    Don't pretend to know it all, but go ahead
    Call it a cocoon crash
     
    What I really see in you
    Is nothing like the things you do
    As you are doing them, right now
    What you would really love to win
    To become the air as well as trash
    Is to get rid of all your skin
    Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
    Call it what you will, call it what you will
    Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash"
     
    Suddenly the ego that I used to have
    Is no bigger than an eyelash
    Clearly I remember someone told me "Hold on tight,
    here's your cocoon crash

     
    What I really see in you
    Is nothing like the things you do
    As you are doing them, right now
    What you would really love to win
    To become the air as well as trash
    Is to get rid of all your skin
    Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
    Call it what you will, call it what you will
    Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
    Call it what you will
    Call it what you will, yeah (you will)
    Call it what you will, yeah (you will)"
     

    Old Woman

    I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
    On the highway yesterday
    I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
    On the highway yesterday
    And as I asked her to pull over
    To make sure no truck would hit her
    She smiled and mumbled, 'okay, whatever you say.'
    And I said, 'I wonder why.'
     
    She said, 'Girl, you're so naive
    And you're too young to understand
    I am now chasing my husband Stan
    A pale man in a black suit came to take him
    In trade for a cup of tea
    A pale man came to take him away from me'
     
    And I said, 'I see,' (and I really did)
    'You go and chase him, go ahead
    And when you catch him will you send him my love
    And tell the pale man to make sure
    To call before he comes to take me too.
    To take me too.'
    (I saw an old woman...)
     

    Only Dreaming

    I'm sure you're only dreaming
    You're only juggling with my mind
    While I feel more and more like screaming
    For the scars you left behind
     
    I'm sure you're only dreaming
    I'm sure we're just a part
    Of what the lucky man believes in
    I'm sure you know this song by heart
     
    You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
    You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, 'shut up'
    You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
    You're only dreaming you're free
     
    You will show up while I'm dreaming
    Out of nowhere cross my way
    You will ask me not to scream and
    You will smile and you will say, 'dear friend,
     
    You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
    You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, 'shut up'
    You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
    You're only dreaming you're free
    You're only dreaming
    You're only dreaming
    You're only dreaming, dreaming...
    You're only dreaming
    You're only dreaming
    You're only dreaming, dreaming...'
     

    Quiet Little Place

    In this quiet little place
    I can't remember having known a different pace
    In this quiet little place
    I can surrender to the beauty of its face
     
    And now everything I see
    Whether it's an airplane or a tree
    It makes me wonder
    About the things I must have missed
    And the chains around my wrists
    They are no longer
     
    In this quiet little place
    I can't imagine what it's like to be back home
    Where they care about what time it is
    And spend their days answering the phone
     
    And now everything I feel
    Whether it's fiction or it's real
    It's so much clearer
    Like the color of this light
    It seems more dangerous and bright
    But I don't fear her
     
    And slowly it fades, I'm back in the race
    I have to fight it, I know
    I don't want to go away
     
    In this quiet little place
    You run your fingers through my hair and whisper "Hey"
    And no matter how I try
    I can't seem to think of anything better to say
     

    Iron Flower

    Thunder, please explain
    Why you ask me how I am, I'm fine I
    Wonder is it sane
    To pierce purple eyeballs made of china
     
    I love you like a son, like a game I have won
    Like a toothbrush I used for the Eiffel Tower
    My youth, it is gone, it's a boot stuck in the ground
    Is there truth to be found in an iron flower
     
    Mmm, I will try hard to be a spark of power
    I will, I'll never be your iron flower
     
    Stone please explain
    Why your silence makes more noise than thunder
    Bones; is it sane
    To obey me and the flesh you're under
     
    Your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none
    Take a jump from you pretty linguistic tower
    The goal of speech, so obnoxious to reach
    Only one thing to do, melt your iron flower...
     
    Mmm, I will try hard to be a spark of power
    I will, I'll never be your iron flower
    Mmm...
     

    Dad

    I was a kid, you were my dad
    I didn't always understand
    I wanted freedom, you got mad
    You were concerned, I got upset
    I didn't recognize you yet
     
    And did you cry, I know I did
    When I lied to you
    I didn't want to hurt you
    I just never knew I did
     
    You never told me that you loved me
    I know you didn't know how
    I guess that shows we're much the same
    'Cause I love you too and until now
    I've never said those words out loud
    I hope you're proud
    To be my dad...
     
    What are your secrets, do you pray
    Is there a god that shows your way
    I wish I knew...
    Do you have crazy fantasies
    What happens in your dreams
    I want to know...
     
    I guess you'll always be a mystery to me
    But you taught me how to value life
    And what else do I need
    I have a dad who watches over me
     

    Not an Addict

    Breathe it in and breathe it out
    And pass it on, it's almost out
    We're so creative, so much more
    We're high above but on the floor
     
    It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
    If you don't have it you're on the other side
     
    The deeper you stick it in your vein
    The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
    I'm in heaven, I'm a god
    I'm everywhere, I feel so hot
     
    It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
    If you don't have it you're on the other side
    I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
     
    It's over now, I'm cold, alone
    I'm just a person on my own
    Nothing means a thing to me
    (Nothing means a thing to me)
     
    It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
    If you don't have it you're on the other side
    I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
     
    Free me, leave me
    Watch me as I'm going down
    Free me, see me
    Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling.
     
    It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel...
    It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive
     
    It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
    If you don't have it you're on the other side
    I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
    I'm not an addict...
