Darling Departed

Am I just an echo
Do I know I must go
Am I a presence at all?
When my, when my voice calls
Will you answer
Or let me echo through the halls?

Oh Oh - Oh Oh Oh Oh

Do you want to fill those spaces?
Will you come close or stay in the clear?
My Darling Departed
I fell for a ghost who tends to disappear

Oh Oh - If I am just a ghost
Do not come when i call
Oh Oh - If I am just a ghost
Do not come when i call

And when one door up and closes
Another opens
Or was that just the wind?
Hiding under the covers
Two distant lovers
They are making pretend.


King of Scum

Give me that eternal sunshine
Give me that spotless mind
Give me anything to forget your name
Like I know you've forgotten mine

Baby I was your puppet
With a string around my neck
Dress me up for the King of Scum
And I danced for him in his bed.

Baby I could take you down
Drag you out in the rain
Throw you to the ground
Kick you around
But you still would not feel my pain.

I choked on the smoke
I was burned by the fire
Coulda kept my distance
Shoulda resisted
Oh and I woulda been wiser

I understand what's going on
I understand what you done
But it doesn't make it easier.

Now I will sit and drink your whiskey
Each shot is sure to do me well
Darlin' I don't care if you miss me
Or at least that what I tell myself

I understand what's going on
I understand what you done
But it doesn't make it easier.


Still
 
With the curtains slightly drawn
Sit back and watch the world go on
Folds your hands behind your head and yawn

Inside you're takin' notes
With something hide but nothin' to show
Vicarious like a window
 
That's fine but I can't sit still
Always wish that I had a little more will
 
Hard to breathe in this old town
The yellow fog risin' up from the ground
So maybe I'll pass by this time around
 
There's a whole bigger world outside
And now I see it through indifferent eyes
And I coulda missed this all if I had lied.

That's okay, it's not your fault
Leave it up to me and I will stall
That's fine but  I can't sit still
It's okay if you've had your fill
Of me.

So will you stay inside
And watch someone else's life go by?
What will you find when you open up your eyes?

That's okay, it's not your fault
Leave it up to me and I will stall
That's fine but  I can't sit still
Always wish that I had a little more Will
That's fine but I can't sit still
It's okay if you've had your fill
Of me.
