sugar printed wishes on little candy hearts
breakdowns and near misses, damned from the start
sugar flavored kisses leave little candy scars
shaking hopeless wisher on little candy stars
driving all night crying, crying in the car
pistol shot valentines leave little candy scars
i know you’re tired, I know you’re tired
you better wait a little longer for me
i know you’re tired, everybody’s tired,
and there’s not much left to believe in
sugar printed wishes are the last thing that you’re going to need
here’s a souvenir
won’t mean a damn to you
i guess that’s all right
i guess that’s going to have to do
spelling out your name on a little candy charm
walking around all day, wondering where you are
sugar flavored bracelet left little candy stains on my arm

the picture taken at construction site
the chainlink fence the fading light
well it was hard to tell if it was going up or down
the pictures they never came out right
just roll after roll of white on white
from that fucked up camera that you've been dragging around
why don't you come after me
when i'm walking down the street
why don't you come after me
i thought you wanted me
another dream of a plane going down
the crowd is calm as it spins to ground
and in the fiery wreckage well there you are
it's been one hundred and fifty-five miles
a notebook later I'm whiskey eyed
this is what i meant by fucking with the heart
why don't you come after me
when i'm walking down the street
why don't you come after me
i thought you wanted me
a cab ride through chicago streets
the sun is out but it's twenty degrees
and in a neighborhood bar it's a nameless birthday
a crowd of tall strangers talk
about who we are and what we want
but babe, i just can't do this today
look who's leaving california
why don't you come after me
why don't you come after me
when i'm walking down the street
why don't you come after me
but you said you wanted
you said you wanted me
why don't you come after me
look who's leaving
you said you wanted me

Spinning Wheel

headed for the landslide
and a heart a heart like an alibi
do you believe in love
it feels just like home
yeah it stings but you can't leave it alone
serenades and telephone lines
all this waiting this waiting to arrive
it goes from bad to worse
like everything you stole
everyone is staring but you can't leave it alone
window seats and runway scenes
unexpected force of reentry
you know it's time
yeah you know it's time
you know you will but you can't leave it alone

Sleep

you settle down from the shaking
you button up real tight
the city goes right through you and
nothing is ever alright
in between the fevers
you don’t ever look around
there’s nothing here to believe
so you slip out without a sound
you smoke your way
right through this
you scan the room for change
there’s always a few quarters
left behind by the castaways
come on baby i’m driving
so you say your goodbyes
a graceful wave and a photo-op
with a permanent disguise
san francisco sunset
crammed in the rearview
rolling through all the stop signs
just rolling right on through
there’s not much to say
something descends on me
i’ll be up a long long time
so baby just go back to sleep
i’ll be up a long long time
don’t you worry about me
