Track Name: I See You
I SEE YOU
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

Did I ever tell you
I'm not having much fun?
I have been here
A year now
And now that year is done

(I see you)

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, man
You'll never make it anywhere
But you'll do what you can
Did I ever tell you
That I used to be fun?
I've been here a year now
And now that year is done
Done.
Track Name: Avoid
AVOID
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

It was the best party
That they ever threw
But I didn't make it
I was avoiding you
It was the best weekend
That they ever knew
But I didn't make it
I was avoiding you
It was the best sunset
That they ever saw
But I didn't see it
I avoided it all
The ballroom was waiting
And they had a ball
But I didn't see it
I avoided it all

It's a long, cold bus ride out there
So I didn't make it
I wanted to, but decided no
Moving, I can't hardly take it
And the bus stop is buried in snow

I found a lost weekend
I didn't know I'd had
Uncovered information
That made me feel sad
I primped and I bullied
I fell in a heap
I'd tell the whole story
But it'd put you to sleep

It's a long, cold bus ride out there
So I didn't make it
I wanted to, but decided no
Moving, I can't hardly take it
And the bus stop is buried in snow
It's a long row that I never wanted
A movie when I didn't want to
A sunrise that I should've slept through
I said yes when I should've said no
Track Name: I Win
I WIN
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

Anarchy at a slow boil
Manuscript stuffed in a drawer
Gambling's the best game in town
It's no wonder no one wants you around

I turn into a poltergeist and back again
Just because I know I lose
Don't mean I can't say I win

Memoirs called this afternoon
He said he's gonna get famous soon
I said well tell me if you do
My next baby, I'll sell it to you

I turn a poltergeist and back again
Just because I know I lose
Don't mean I can't say I win

I win

Sticking to the avenue
The cops will never notice you
Track Name: Skylan Mo
SKYLAN MO
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

Generations full of people on the highway
To a safe place
Rocking back and forth
A blowout on the freeway
To a safe place

Greyhound buses full of people on the highway
Find a safe place
Rocking backing back and forth
I hope this bus is going to a safe place

Public dialtone
Telephone telephone
I'm alone I'm alone
Collect miser
Telephone telephone
I'm alone I'm alone

I've gotta take a break from America
I've gotta take a break from American suicide

Generation cold
Huntsville, Alabama
Find a safe place
And if there's a Ford
Or Chevy in the driveway
Find a safe place
We were feeling low
So we threw a party
In a safe place
Now we're coming down
A bottle is a Bible
Find a safe place

Public dialtone
Telephone telephone
I'm alone I'm alone
Collect miser
Telephone telephone
I'm alone I'm alone
Standing in Times Square

I've gotta take a break from America
I've gotta take a break from American suicide
Track Name: Garden Of Eden
GARDEN OF EDEN
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

A hard time tonight in the empty city
The 55! The 55!

The thief from heaven
The thief from hell
The thief from the Garden of Eden

A hard time tonight it's an empty city
The 55! The 55!

The thief from heaven
The thief from hell
The thief from the Garden of Eden

I sat next to the Stucky man
He bought a beautiful girl on an installment plan

The thief from heaven
The thief from hell
The thief from the Garden of Eden
Track Name: Very Goodbye
VERY GOODBYE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

Hey
Very goodbye
Very goodbye
Very Night

Hey
Very see-you
Barely see you
Very Fight

Rain rain rain in spring
Sing sing sing
Wet wet silver
Wet wet silver
Sing sing sing
Sing sing sing

Hey
Very goodbye
Very goodbye
Very night

Hey
Very see-you
Barely see you
Very fight
Fight

Slum rain
Slum rain
Track Name: Million Dollar Bill
MILLION DOLLAR BILL
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2004)

Wine and water
Whiskey and ale
Sitting on a garbage pail

Baby, don't get crazy tonight
Baby, don't get crazy tonight
You know I'll leave it to you
In my will
Playground swing
Million dollar bill

On the TV's burning screen
Rich, rich people
Rites of spring

Baby, don't get crazy tonight
Baby, don't get crazy tonight
You know I'll leave it to you
In my will
Playground swing
Million dollar bill
Track Name: On Yr Hands
ON YR HANDS
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2004)

You will have a happy man
On your hands

You will have a dead man
On your hands
Track Name: Back Of A Promise
BACK OF A PROMISE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2004)

The back of a promise
The front of a lie
Is it any wonder
We don't see eye to eye

Don't break my heart

The end of an era
The end of a high
Is it any wonder
We're so quick to lie

Start of the winter
End of the affair
Is it any wonder
I never did care

Don't break my heart
