~~4SONG: TRY NOT TO BREATHE I will try not to breathe, I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees These eyes are the eyes of the old, shiver in the cold I will try not to breathe, This decision is mine I have lived a full life And these are the eyes that I want you to remember I need something to fly over my grave again I need something to breathe I will try not to burden you, I can hold these inside I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside Just look in my eyes I will try not to worry you, I have seen things that you will never see Leave it to memory me, shudder to breathe I want you to remember (you will never see) I need something to fly (something to fly) Over my grave again (you will never see) I need something to breathe (something to breathe) Baby don't shiver now, Why do you shiver now (I will see things you will never see) I need something to fly (something to fly) Over my grave again (I will see things you will never see) I need something to breathe I will try not to worry you, I have seen things that you will never see Leave it to memory me, don't dare me to breath I want you to remember (you will never see) I need something to fly (something to fly) Over my grave again (you will never see) I need something to breathe (something to breathe) Baby don't shiver now, Why do you shiver now (I will see things you will never see) I need something to breathe (something to breathe) I want you to remember (I have seen things you will never see) ~~4SONG: THE SIDEWINDER SLEEPS TONIGHT This here is the place where I will stay in There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone Let it ring a long long long long time If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more, If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her There are scratches all around the coin slot Like a heart beat baby trying to wake up But this machine can only swallow money You can't lay a patch by computer design With just a lot of stupid, stupid signs Tell her Tell her she can kiss my ass and laugh and say that you were only kidding That way she'll know that it was really, really, really, really me me Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me Today I need something more substa, sub, sub, substantial A can of beans or black eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice Candy bar, a fallen star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way Always had a smile, never reason to pretend, Their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream The sidewinder sleeps on his back Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her I can always sleep standing up, call when you try to wake her You got a boogie woogie groove on this one ~~4SONG: EVERYBODY HURTS When your day is long and the night, the night is yours alone When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on Don't let yourself go, cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes Sometimes everything is wrong, now it's time to sing along When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on) If you feel like letting go (hold on) If you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on Cause everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends Everybody hurts, don't throw your hands, oh now, don't throw your hands If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you're not alone If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long When you think you've had too much, with this life, to hang on Well everybody hurts, sometimes Everybody cries, and everybody hurts, sometimes But everybody hurts sometimes so hold on, hold on, hold on, Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Everybody hurts You are not alone ~~4SONG: SWEETNESS FOLLOWS Readying to bury your father and your mother What did you think when you lost another I used to wonder why did you bother Distance from one, one to the other Listen here my sister and my brother What would you care if you lost the other I always wondered why did we bother Distance from one, one to the other Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows It's these little things, they can pull you under Live your life filled with joy and wonder I always knew this all together with thunder It's lost to now or never lives Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows It's these little things, they can pull you under Live your life filled with joy and thunder Yea, yea we were all together Lost to now or never lives Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows ~~4SONG: MONTY GOT A RAW DEAL Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing But nonsense has a welcome ring and heroes don't come easy Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head I know my feet But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree A woman out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath] Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] for the silver screen That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time Now here's a rhyme that you can steal, put this on your reel to reel Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, yeah, he is laying low Just let go, go, just let go You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath] Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me ~~4SONG: IGNORELAND Bastards stole the power from the victims of the us v. them years, Wrecking all things virtuous and
