We're Fooling No One

Another Friday night
At your place is all
Another friendly call
A little weekend feelgood
Another Sunday night
And we're laying tall
We just get along
We get along, like, real good
Looks, knees, looks, kisses
Squeezed in a bathroom stall
Trying to collect them all
It's fun, but babe
We're fooling no one
We're fooling no one
It's not as if I lie
When they ask me where
I've been all night
And I say exploring
It's not as if you try
To fill up my mind
But as feelings go
Everything else is boring
Looks, knees, looks, kisses
Squeezed in a bathroom stall
Trying to collect them all
It's fun and all, but babe
We're fooling no one
We're fooling no one
Fooling no one
Fooling no one
Look, please, look, mrs
It's time to make the call
Squeezed in a bathroom stall
We're past the point of no excuse
I only want you
I only want you

The King Goes On

[Verse 1]
He'll never feel real love
But people love him still
He'll never feel a thing, but
Rule and move and kill
[Chorus 1]
Ooo-ooh, the King goes on
Ooo-ooh, the King goes on
No, no, the King goes on
[Verse 2]
He shook the whole wide world
By avoiding a single street
He makes sure things are unsure
And decides who gets to eat
[Middle eight]
We should know
It's all up to us
The reason he has this power
Is that we agree he does
I should know
My chances are slim
But I can't help falling in love
With him
[Verse 3]
He'll make the stupid bold
He'll make the tacky kitsch
He makes my hometown cold and
My ideals itch
[Chorus 2]
Ooo-ooh, the King goes on
Ooo-ooh, the King goes on
No, no, the King goes on
[Middle eight]
I should know
But I won't let go
In my mind
I'm allways waiting for you
Tell me that
It's not a long wait
Cause I can't help falling in love
With you
The king goes on
The king goes on

Every Other Week

To pull apart
And feel my freedom - exciting and new
Is kinda hard
When half the town reminds me of you
Laid in your bed
Back when you said
You were into me
Every other week
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Now it's done
Got all this time and no one to call
Half of what I want
It felt like less than nothing at all
And you said "Look
We just fooled around
We can’t break up
If I was never down"
Down!
I could write you out of that open door
In two songs' time you're a metaphor
I could drink you down that open drain
You keep pulling me back up again
Keep pulling me back up again
Up again up again up again - oh!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 1]
Back where your childhood shined in gold
Chasing the perfect lines that run
Across the three headed lullaby
Into the sun
[Verse 2]
I didn't know that's how you feel
Let's never say anything we mean
It's just opinions, I'm not sure
Anymore
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Hear the story of your love
Find what you don't already know
All of the alleys you didn't go
Into before
[Verse 4]
Slip through your fingers just to show
What you couldn't grasp one second ago
What you could see two seconds ago
Three seconds ago
[Verse 5]
Follow the ley lines in the sky
Chasing the perfect lines that run
Across the three headed lullaby
Into the sun
[Verse 6]
Into the yearbooks you misplaced
Into the yard sale of your soul
Into the faces you defaced
Into the war
[Instrumental]
[Verse 7]
Follow the line back to the core
It's not about you anymore
Gonna feel like this again
Somebody else will tell you when
[Verse 8]
There is a blueprint in the sky
There is a how and there is a why
Follow the morning to the shore
There are no boats out here no more
[Verse 9]
Winter thoughts are turning in
Into the crowds that bloom in spring
No one should ever be so sure
Under your pillow there's a door
Gonna be years until I crack
Gonna be ages till I'm back
[Instrumental]

Drip Drip

Is it to late?
No, it's early, you said
Time to get back home
To chargers and beds
You said
"I guess I’ll se you around
I mean, we're both out there
All over town."
The pink winter morning was rearing its head
And turning to red
The night of my life
Went drip drip all over the road
The sound from inside
The drip drip of rain at my door
You said we'd see
But you didn’t say when
The wheels on your bed
Squeak like walls giving in
To me
Is it to late?
Too early to say
It's hour by hour
For day after day
The pink winter mornings
Are fading away
The time of the year
Went drip drip all over the road
Wish you could hear
The drip drip as winter lets go
Miles away you drip drip back into your head
Hides away
Soon you will hear what I say
Hides away
Soon you will hear what I said
I did
I did
I said
I do
