Lyrics: Milo Aukerman I sent you a valentine. I'm afraid it won't get there till June Somehow I lost track of time, but you know I'm a fool for you I send a bouquet of roses, the kind that you're allergic to You know that I don't know better, you know I'm a fool for you Head over heels, banana peels, it's funny how you make me feel Like of love sick slapstick tragedy - would you like to Fool around with me? I'd fall of the highest mountain, drown in the deepest river too Catch a cold in the hottest desert, you know I'm a fool for you I would sing outside your window if I could only hold a tune I suck so hold it against me. You know I'm a fool for you The real world seems so mean to me that I can't take it seriously But I love your laugh and I hope you see that I just might be the Fool you need Every single time I'm with you something's wrong with what I do Don't get mad it's like I told you I am just a fool for you

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman Lets not and say we did. Then, lie and talk about the old days. We were just as boring, but not as ugly. Check one Yes or no Life is a mistake until you fill in the blank. What not to see, what not to do, where not to go Quit quitting. Do anything, even if it's wrong. Who cares why? Why the hell not? Check one Yes or no Life is a mistake until you fill in the blank Zip, zilch, zero, jack, squat, none, nil, nada, nope Anything Everything Not nothing Check one yes or no Life is a mistake until you fill in the blank.

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman All in my mind but there's no shaking Scary, sad things out of my mind Always on time, but there's no time to Bring the scary, sad girl back to life None in her heart, some of the things She did seemed almost nice I can't stop the blush when things aren't right But I'm to scary, sad to cry Feel it so strong but she's done it so wrong All those scary, sad things; scary sad things Every time she slit her wrists I wish she hit instead of missed Every secret family crime, all my love a waste of time Every doctor, every shrink, every bloody bathroom sink All the filth we tried to hide, just a face I needed to be beside Scary, sad girl leave my happy world lone All those scary, sad things are what any love brings Every girl that I ever hated was just a monster that I created Maybe if I close my eyes real tight then the scary, sad Things will go away and I'll quit living in yesterday I'll just smile and laugh at all the scary, sad Things you put me through None of the doctors could find a cure Just a scary, sad girl in a scary, sad world None of the shrinks could make her think About anyone else but her I want to go home, I want my mom to make The bad things go away I want to forget I could ever let any Scary, sad girl treat me that way Feel it so strong, but she's done it so wrong All those scary, sad things; scary, sad things Truth comes out in dreams at night Cause she's done it so right All those scary, sad things; scary sad things

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman If I ever get out of this hole that I'm in I'll take a stand. I'll be a man of steel. Too many mistakes, not enough breaks In my life for one man to stand I will overcome my fears, and I'll be a strong as I appear. I'll be a man of steel. I am really REALLY real.

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman I live in a box. I live on a one way street, but I don't mind. 'Cause I live alone. Nobody has to share my home. And if I could choose I might pick a bigger box But that's all I'd change, until I get a credit card My home on the range is underneath my black hat Until I wake up I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me I've got what I need. I've got a car that doesn't work. I've got blood to bleed. I've got a bar of soap. I've got shampoo too So I look like me but I smell like you. I won the Nobel Prize. I made a thinner dime. You know I'll get my act together when I find the time But right now I think that living is a place to lie down. You see I rule the dirt, so I'm the king of this town. I live in the dark. I live in the silence, and I can say That I see and hear how much more than the average bear And if I could choose I might pick a darker void But that's all I'd change, until I get a bigger club My home on the range is somewhere in the closet, Until I wake up. I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me So here's what we've got. You tell me what I am. I'll tell you what I am not. You tell me what I'm not. I'll tell you what I am. We'll both scratch our heads Like we give a damn. Please tell me who comes out ahead Was it me or you? Was it me or you? (probably you) I live in my skull. I'm under my eyelids. You can't touch me. 'Cause I'm fast asleep. You wouldn't like the friends I keep. And I could choose I might pick a larger head But that's all I'd change, until I get a safe way out. My home on the range is right behind my eyeballs. And don't you dare wake me up

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman I get up in the morning But mostly in the afternoon The sun gets up too early The moon goes down too soon What can I expect from the day ahead? Maybe I'll just sleep instead, no escaping it Sunrise, who owns your time? 9-5 for life What can I expect from the years ahead? I get up in the morning But mostly in the afternoon The sun gets up to early The moon goes down to soon If you would go away. I could sleep all day But up is where I have to get, no escaping it.

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman My pappy said "Son your gonna drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln" Have you heard the story of the hot rod race Where the Fords and the Lincolns were setting the pace? Well that story is true cause I'm here to say I was driving that model A. It's got Lincoln motor and its really souped up And that model A body makes it look like a pup It's got eight cylinders, uses them all It's got overdrive, just won't stall It's got a four barrel carb, and dual exhaust With four, eleven gears you can really get lost. It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared Breaks are good, tires fair Pulling out of San Pedro late one night With the moon and the stars just shining bright We was headed up grapevine Hill Passing cars like they was standing still All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye A Cadillac sedan passed us by I said "Boys this ones marked for me" But by then the tail lights was all you could see Now the fellas rid me for being behind So I thought I'd let that Lincoln unwind Took my foot of the gas and man alive I shoved it on down into over drive Wound it up to 110 My speedometer said I hit top end My foot was glued like lead to the floor And that's all there is, and there ain't no more Now the boys all thought that I'd lost my sense Those telephone poles were like a picket fence They said "Slow down, I see spots!" The lines on the road just looked like dots Took a corner, side swiped a truck Crossed my fingers just for luck My fenders was clicking the guard rail post The guy beside me was white as a ghost We had smoke coming from out of the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac I knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass But don't you know by then we'd be low on gas I had flames coming from out of the side Feel the tension, man what a ride I said "Look out boys, I've got a license to fly" And that Caddy pulled over and let us by All of the sudden she started knocking Down in the dips she started rocking I looked in the mirror. Red lights were blinking The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln - Damn The arrested me and they put me in jail Called my pappy to throw my bail And he said "Son, you're going to drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln"

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman She's my ex. I can't cross her from my memory She meant everything to me she meant every word she said When she said, "I'll never love again. Be my ex until the end." And I know I'll never feel that way again She's just my ex She's my ex. She marks the spot where I'm the weakest one I can't expect she'll change her ways; can't accept the things she's done She's just my ex. Nothing more nothing less but she'll always be my ex She's my ex. Don't cross her path she still belongs to me She'll be my ex till I say when till I get her back again 'Cause I know I'll never love again. Never need another friend And I know I'll never feel this way again She's my ex. She'll cross my mind a thousand times today Still have a million things to say, guess I'm better off this way Cause I know she'll never love again. She'll be my ex until the end And I know I'll never feel this way again She's just my ex. Nothing more nothing less but she's still my ex And I could never kiss that face goodbye But I could never stop to wonder why She looks so pretty, she looks so pretty And I know I'll never feel this way again She's just my ex

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman Warm, and sweet and soft and pink Or so I was led to believe The good things went from bad to worst Every bubble has to burst It seemed so sweet before, but not anymore Just chewed me up and spit me out like bubblegum Cold and bitter, hard and grey The whole world seems to be that way Its no surprise. Its only life. It makes me want to hide inside It used to make me cry, but now I'm just to numb What seemed so sweet before, means nothing anymore Just chewed me up and spit me out like bubblegum Small minds firing words that freeze Conspire to drive me to my knees Fine. I know that I can find Courage burning deep inside Fire to keep me warm for when the winter comes It just so bad before, but never anymore I'll never be used up like that by anyone Never be used up like bubblegum It seemed so sweet before.

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman If you talk to Mary please don't look at me Cause she's never seen me before Don't call attention to the man outside of me Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye And I'm not supposed to be here and I'm too young to die See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans I go bouncing like a pinball in between extremes I'm not surprised, this happens all the time And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind And she's never seen me before So if you talk to Mary please don't mention me Cause she's never seen me before Just let me hide behind the smoke and the pleasantries Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade I just peek around the statues spitting art and foreign trade She looks a hole right through me to a shadow on the wall Till I'm sick of my surroundings while I'm not here at all I'm not surprised this happens all the time And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind And she's never seen me before Warhol monotone, robotic talk, we're all so smart we're so perceptive But her mouth doesn't move, except to smile to be polite To receptive She burns me with a glance. I look away I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive I'd give my right arm for a different situation Convince myself I see everybody watching me I set myself up for this stupid situation

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman All the fun I never had All the love you never gave All the brains I never used Against womankind, away from you Fighting for the softest touch Biting for the slowest kiss Hating waiting to be missed I could be a romantic kind of guy with you Against womankind, away from you You can laugh and I don't care You'd never have the guts to dare Or the heart to be aware Pictures sever to hold me back The only time the lens didn't crack Was when I was by you The truth is I feel better being miserable without you Then happy with someone else I want your friends to bury you I want to watch them bury you Then I'll know that I knew you I prefer the dead of night To living with a breathing lie that looks like you And I prefer the cold of heart To warming up to someone who reminds me of you

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman You flush a fish down a toilet and look down to See your second hand is dead still. You think them somehow connected but you can't be Sure and it's just as well. What to do next when the shit piles up? You can't decide. You go outside. Stand in the moonlight drinking coffee from a paper cup. You'd almost swear you hear voices, but you know it's Nothing but a noisey, guilty conscience. You hear monotonous noises. It's that time of night Its so predictable. Oh what a feeling to listen to your blood. The way it feels when it congeals, Like someone sucked you dry and pumped you full of rocks and mud. Close your eyes. No traffic, in or out. Tired eyes No traffic, in or out You won't decide anything tonight. No need to Rush things, they'll keep until tomorrow. Just make a fresh pot of coffee and stay up All night and get nothing done. Don't you hate preference? I know you hate choice Just hang your limbs out in the wind And clear your throat because you don't know when you'll need your Voice You hope it won't be long before you're back in The action like a moth around a light bulb, but Who gets to say when the switch flips and the Light goes off and you fly away. You could be standing and watching city lights But where you'll be is where you'll be And what you do is up to you. Stand still you've got the right Close your eyes No traffic, in or out Tired eyes No traffic, in or out I think I see the East, I think I see the East And as I face the East, I swear I taste the East I've got to go back East Where there's no traffic, in or out

Lyrics: Milo Aukerman You came clearer than ever before You did what no one else can Just never follow up when I'm awake Because I'd hurt you. You'd hurt me too. You are a dream. This is the longest time I've been with someone There's no explaining, no escaping You are for real and nothing will ever come between us There's no need to look to deep I'll just never go to sleep I felt your body as I remember Put me to shame when I was through I put you down inside myself But you manage to do it. You always do Did you know you missed the point of dreaming When you said you needed more and more You ended up with less This time I have you with me I pulled you out when I got up I beat your pretty face I will make this one real Everything wet; pillow with tears Sheets with sweat. I'm tired Do it when I'm here
