We took to a tent family of gypsies Shadows in the forest, kept from view We escaped the sunrise, the strangers, shotguns, and the ship’s crew We planned to stow on the boat, escape before consumed by dust We can’t reflect upon the danger Belfast was never kind to us Climbed our way to the main deck, past empty rooms, shuttered and dank We made our way to the new land, emptied arteries, and drank. I get up in the evening to escape the sun, I get up in the evening, I sleep all day long, I get up in the evening, I keep on the run I get up, I get up, I get up, I get up Bid my father goodbye with a fix of his tie My mother caused me to scream with delight If there was ever a time to look in my eyes, you’d see the purest nothing. “Champion of the powers that be,” that’s what they called me One last goodbye to old Ireland Lord knows you won’t miss me and I could sense your heart, you held it before you, everyone could see and I could sense your insides, beckoning to me.

Excuses 01:53
Well, maybe he'll go: "There was trouble getting home and I barely made it by in a jet lag daze. It took me a week on top the two I was gone. My friends say that you had for sure moved on." Baby bye bye, bye bye baby Baby bye bye, bye bye baby "I think it was you were out of my league. I'm a mid-week baller, you're a classy Friday. Your parents seem swell and I make a bad impression. My dad liked you too much, ended my obsession." Baby bye bye, bye bye baby Baby bye bye, bye bye baby "First girl stole my dog and changed the lock. Next girl went with my mate when I didn't call. You were a beaut, we talked for hours, I couldn't bear your touch. I bailed before you because I knew it'd hurt too much." Baby bye bye, bye bye baby Baby bye bye, bye bye baby "I got caught up in an old flame. She got jealous when I mentioned your name. She had one rule, one stipulation - had to cut you out entirely, never mention your sweet, sweet name." So, that's why, that's why I have to say baby bye bye, bye bye baby Don't bother to call now, don't bother to call I ain't your mama, ain't your lover, ain't your baby doll That's why, that's why I have to say baby bye bye, bye bye baby Don't bother to call now, don't bother to call in one week I won't remember your name at all

Happy 03:12
I told Amy, "I’m done with him, I can’t do this anymore." She said, "You better be sure before you let him walk out of that door," She said, "Next month he could be in a coffee shop and then he'll trip over someone’s foot and he'll look up and meet the most beautiful girl that he’s ever seen and that’s it for them and then you’ll stare at your computer screen watching them fall in love on Facebook and the next thing you know they’re engaged to be married and this whole time you thought he’d still be there waiting for you, so you better make sure that you’re done." And I said to Amy, "You fucking bet I am." Now I can sit alone in my room and drown in my own issues Without you coming over and trying to get me to party and asking me why I’m not happy "Maybe you’d be happy if you took a shot of gin Maybe you’d be skinny if you went back to the gym Maybe you wouldn’t be so sad if you got on the dance floor Maybe your pills wouldn’t make you fat if you got on the dance floor" I told him I’m done with him, I can’t do this anymore He said "But I can do more," and I said "Now where have I heard that before?" He said "I know I haven’t been there much for you, but to be honest I just don’t get what you’re going through and I don’t know what I can do" Now I can sit alone in my room and drown in my own issues Without you coming over and trying to get me to party and asking me why I’m not happy "Maybe you’d be happy if you took a shot of gin Maybe you’d be skinny if you went back to the gym Maybe you wouldn’t be so sad if you got on the dance floor Maybe your pills wouldn’t make you fat if you got on the dance floor" I can’t be here if you can’t be there

Carnival 02:45
I was born into a carnival my parents were two angry clowns of concrete I got sick of dishing diets of dirty sugar, rotten apples sick of people asking favors from me I set the bar high, but two suits set it higher instead of swirling lights, misshapen persons in my mirror I’m swimming in dollar bill signs at the Motel 6 singing some Shania song about finally getting my kicks I got the call from Wall Street - you know, the real New York freaks who swear they like a good time I’ve got my ’76 LeSabre, Pixie in the front seat “Conjoined twins” was on the list, we shared a sweater and a line They fancied themselves the strong men type so I blew fire and I made one swallow my knife Well, Pixie kind of freaked, so I grabbed Elliot’s keys while he was locked in the bathroom, phoning up his secretary I got a stash under my dash, the best of Cash on an 8-track one last view of “Ass, Gas or Grass,” and then dust filled the scene…
