Rag Doll 04:06
He froze on the walk home Decided it didn't mean a thing No godless, headless knight Is gonna bring him down with it The plumber & the cable guy Stay late for a dialogue Only to pause when discovered me alone Face down, eyes wide open That fear before time becomes pocket change And what am I but a link in the chain? Rag Doll opens his mouth And all he says his fluff Keeps his lover in the cupboard Just collecting dust He let her out once And all those words he used to love her for Felt like acupuncture needles to the heart And he was floored The truth is funny 'cos it sets you free But never lets you off the hook And I know you've tried your alibi But you just come off as a crook Don't say that love is blindness 'Cos you know neither of the two Bliss is ignorance's bitch And darling, so are you

All our trash gets passed around Thrown around from street to street Tonight we're all hoping that Maybe it's not too late for our minds to meet All our shit get thrown around Passed around from hand to hand Today I was hoping that Maybe it would feel alright to take my head out of the sand Honey, mend my loneliness Maybe then I could let somebody in I'm just so tired of walking around, homeless I'll let you finish if you let me begin All our time gets tossed aside Such a heavy toll for such a short ride Now that you can see me for what I am I can't think of anything to help you understand Honey, mend my loneliness Maybe then I could let somebody in I'm just so tired of walking around, homeless I'll let you finish if you let me begin The plot laid & the deed done Now you and I can have some fun

Only I... 03:57
I left you as I saw you And think of getting shot As the columns crumble down And the sanctum's left to rot I begged him out of the corner of my mouth I ate with him & drank with him And then I threw him out Though I tell you I love you I feel I don't know you at all Though I say that I miss you I don't care where you are Only I... Will obligatory gestures becomes as natural as tears? Will you confidence in you become as common as my fears? Don't mind me when I curse you from the corner of my mouth Oh, though I tell you I love you I feel I don't know you at all Though I say that I miss you I don't care where you are Only I..

Underlined, her eyes The wig blocked her sight No cure in the mirror; tears it down Street lights blinking off over her And in come the markets & take Faith Trench Coats & Plain Clothes rely On you to remain as calm as humanly possible Wonder if they cross their fingers long enough Maybe they'll stop soul-crushing waves If it's war they want, it's war they'll get Come on It's the only thing to incite the change Cough up, man Get in on the plan Collect your shoelaces And make your way out Ha, ha, ha, ha I know that you remember Street lights blinking off over you In they come Trench Coats & Plain Clothes retire Cough up, now! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ,ha

Valis 07:36
I'll hold your hand In the black iron prison Never have I seen A smile so chilling Lock arms, block clinics This is where the rapture starts Hailing for impending doom I'll hold you coat In the dead of winter The dead of winter Never have I had A thought so soothing
