Lightbulb Sun
The sun is a lightbulb, a candle's a treat The curtains stay closed now, on my little retreat And I'll only take medicine if it's followed by sweets A sickly pink liquid that puts me to sleep My head beats a better way Tomorrow a better day And I can watch TV while I'm wrapped up in bed And mother makes sure that I'm watered and fed My best friends from school will come over and stare At me in my bubble of germified air My head beats a better way Tomorrow a better day When I'm asleep the smoke fills me I feel the heat, my illness leaves me My head beats a better way Tomorrow a better day When I'm asleep the smoke fills me I feel the heat, my illness leaves me The sun is a lightbulb, a candle's a treat The curtains stay closed now, on my little retreat But after a while the noise from the street Is making me wish I was back on my feet

The letters pile up in the hallway Junk mail and bills from the catalogues And the neighbours have guessed 'cause I've cancelled the milk And they don't hear your voice through the walls anymore How is your life today? (How is your life?) How is your life today? I was kissed on the cheek by a cold mouth While the taxi was waiting like a getaway car And each second seems like a lifetime And the cat, it's been staring at me all this time How is your life today? (La, la-la-la, la-la) (How is your life?) La-la How is your life today? (La, la)

Six of one and half a dozen Black guitars and plastic blues Hide behind a wall of nothing Nothing said and nothing new Four chords that made a million Four chords that made a million, million, million You belong there, on the cover You are the emperor in new clothes A man who thinks he owns the future Will sell your vacuum with his prose Four chords that made a million Four chords that made a million, million, million Four chords that made a million, million, million And then, a moron with a cheque book Will take you out to lunch, who knows? He will tell you, "You're a saviour" And then he'll drop you like a stone Four chords that made a million Four chords that made a million, million, million Four chords that made a million, million, million And I have tried, and I have died Trying to get through But in the end, I can't defend you Four chords that made a million Four chords that made a million, million, million Four chords that made a million, million, million Four chords that made a million, million, million

You move in waves You never retrace Your newest craze Straight out of the face, by the bed unread I'm left behind Like all the others Some fall for you It doesn't make much difference if they do She changes every time you look By summer, it was all gone Now, she's moved on She called you every other day So savour it, it's all gone Now, she's moved on So for a while Everything seemed new Did we connect Or was it all just biding time for you? She changes every time you look (All gone away) By summer, it was all gone Now, she's moved on (She's movin' on) She called you every other day (All gone away) So savour it, it's all gone Now, she's moved on (She's movin' on) She's moved on She's moved on She's moved on She's moved on She changes every time you look By summer, it was all gone Now, she's moved on She called you every other day (All gone away) So savour it, it's all gone Now, she's moved on (She's movin' on) All gone away She's movin' on All gone away She's movin' on All gone away She's movin' on All gone away She's movin' on

If you fall asleep with me You can dream and drowse The minutes turn to hours We could climb a tree or two And watch the sun go down Upon our sleepy town After all the time I spent with you Summer went away And we just weren't the same It's just you and me alone Not grown-ups but not kids You kissed me on the lips Let me say that our mission here, at this time, is about to come to a close in the next few days. We came from distant space, and even what some might call somewhat of another dimension, and we're about to return from whence we came It requires, that you— if you move into that evolutionary kingdom, that you leave behind everything of human ways, human behavior, human ignorance, human misinformation If I would title this tape, it would be "Last chance to evacuate planet Earth before it is recycled" "Last chance to evacuate Earth before it is recycled"

I was pretending to be floating strong But I, I was sinking into still water Eyes closed All of the rest will flow Then out of darkness I found I could still feel Something good out of the woods Eyes closed All of the rest will flow I know, I know, now (All of the rest will flow) One simple thing that I never could see But now, I know all of the rest will flow Stay with me my angel, I found you Now I don't feel low, all of the rest will flow Eyes closed All of the rest will flow I know, I know, now (All of the rest will flow) Eyes closed All of the rest will flow All of the rest will flow Eyes closed All of the rest will flow

Tied, tied to a time When we knew that the sun would shine And you were all smiles And we could just talk for a while Of where we would be when the future comes (Where we would be) And how you would paint while I wrote my songs If, if I could find you (I find you) And tell you about my life (And tell you about my life) Or maybe just write And remind you of when we would dream Of where we would be when the future comes (Where we would, where we would be) And how you would paint while I wrote my songs Strange how you never become The person you see when you're young Of where we would be when the future comes (Where we would, where we would be) And how you would paint while I wrote my songs Strange how you never become The person you see when you're young

You think I deserve this? You said I was stupid All my thoughts are like coal But Russia on ice is burning a hole Can't stop myself drinking Can't stop being me If I call, will you come and will you save me? I see the whole thing come down I burn it to the ground Well, what the hell did you say? You said you hate me this way It's just a matter of time A drop in the ocean A significant motion Nothing melts in this cold But Russia on ice is burning a hole I see the whole thing come down I burn it to the ground Well, what the hell did you say? You said you hate me this way It's just a matter of time

So see how long I can last You can pretend that I don't exist for you And I can laugh about it now But I hated every minute I was waiting for your e-mail And each day that you forgot to call Just made me feel so low, so low Just made me feel so low, so low Christmas 19—, 1998 I tried to call, I just couldn't wait And your message was out of date So I left my voice on your machine But you did not, did not respond Okay Okay, okay, you've won You make me feel so low, so low You make me feel so low, so low You make me feel so low, so low You make me feel so low, so low Thanks
