I’ve got five record drives
and you won’t owe me anything
I’ve got eyes in the front desk
They won’t bite you they might eat you
I am five years of age
I’ve got ID and a soft drink
You are three years my elder
Not my elder just my lover
Do you wanna be my open wound?
I’ve got three piles of beef goin’ out in a sack
And you want them, you need them
I’ve got three day old drugs in the back seat
you’ve prescribed them
I’ve got free frequent miles on the back of my card
and I’ll use them, boy I’ll use them
Two days of sickness and I’m throwin’ it back
This line is the sinker

You might be all the things that you said you wanted to
But you know I don’t see, I see right through you
Hey, you don’t know the way to my own place
You don’t know the way cause you don’t know the way to SJ
You don’t think all the things that you write on your chalkboard
will make me see what you think, what you meant all along
Hey you don’t want to be a part of this don’t you know why?
Hey, don’t you know, but you don’t know the way to SJ
You might be all the one, all the two or three or four
I don’t remember too well, after all I have fucked up
You are everything in this old book I write
But you don’t wanna know cause you don’t know the way to SJ
You think I’m a rag- I don’t read and you don’t write
I would be oh so sad if you made me very mad
You want to be all of those things, you want to be with all the ones
Don’t you think that I know that you want to be all I know
You know that I have been feeling all the things that you don’t want
You don’t think that it’s enough, so you go round tell people stuff
And I don’t know what to say to your face and you don’t know
Don’t you think that it’s enough to be alone with all the rest
You don’t know, I don’t know you’ll never be you’ll never be
Enough to me and you will see that all this shit will never be
You won’t see I’ll never be, never be

All they had to say was be yourself in troubled times
that swept away all of your good thoughts
She was about the same, I could not reach her
Animals had brought their friends, enjoyed their anger
All my feelings had been peeling
Dropped their weapons, all made new friends
Freedom rang outside your door but dared not come through
What did you do to him to make him that way?
Years and years of therapy had made us weary
Townspeople had come outside with sticks and shovels
Don’t you hear them screaming, teaming
They want it to work like you do
Sometimes I hear what they’re saying
Sounds like angels flatly lying
Go to the north
Fall to the floor
You want to be anointed king of my soul, my angry demons
Don’t feel so proud of my good friend
Head southward till you reach the end
Don’t you feel the slightest pain
Tractors lift and bring you in
How come she has hit the water
Fall flat down on road but harder
Go to the north
Head towards the door
Far from the south
Fall to the floor

I tried contacting your mother’s house last week
She said you’d been gone and she’d relay
It’s been so long that I think I should be away
But I can’t butt out, I think about
You were so scared of me and I just can’t blame you
Did some terrible things, you don’t need this
I think about the way we were before I frayed
It was not In your best interest.
You were so scared of me and I just can’t blame you
Did some terrible things, you don’t need this
If you weren’t me but I was you all the time
And if I had a brain
You would have me

You have been my friend for a long time
You have seen things, blown it at wrong times
I have been thinking of this time
I’ve seen things, heard things that hurt right
No lord
Wait there
You want me to be alone
Haven’t I been so alone
You want to be what I try to
Thinking of you makes me cry, too.
No lord has been my friend
Impossible to save me if you’re not really here.
Over roses of gold

You were the reason
If all the things that you would say
were only part of yesterday
and you were the reason
seasons change and plans will stay
but you've already gone away
And you took the seeds
planting them around the bed
and only sprinkled on my head
and you, within reason,
will have to stay another day
And we will only get the next
'cause you won’t want me
'cause you won’t love me
'cause you can’t reach me
'cause you don’t need me.

Something tells you that this invite’s expiration’s due
How did she take breaking news of breaking off what’s you?
Don’t let it go on way too long
Fanning off the heat of noon, the heat of something new
Take away this modern pain, the stinging stain of you
Come aboard; don’t bring your sword. It is your sword I afford
Catch the phrase in all her praise, the way she says “without you”
I’ll just melt away
But she’ll sleep in all day
And you don’t sleep at all
If I’d been soon to call

My Sunny Disposition California
My Sunny Disposition is a Bay Area band that was started as a project to evict the mouse living in Paul's home. At first it seemed to work - we didn't see it for almost a week. We decided it was time to get rough and play polka, a bad idea since the mouse would come out and dance, often flirting with Rob who didn't seem to mind. Finally, Paul started singing. I think it just might have worked. ... more
