Don’t come around here no more No, don’t come around here no more Whatever you’re looking for Please don’t come around here no more I’ve given up On this love getting any stronger I’ve given up Can’t wait any longer I don’t feel you anymore Stop darkening my door Please stop walking down my street Who do you expect to meet? Who do you expect to meet? Please don’t come around here no more I’ve given up Stop

Once I was lost To the point of disgust I had in my sight Lack of vision Lack of light I held hard I held fast Mercy me Never last Then, in the dust All the things we discussed Were thrown to the wind So at last We begin We fall hard We fall fast Mercy me Never last
3.
Autumn leaves Beauty’s got a hold on me Autumn leaves Pretty as can be Everybody knows this time Shadows are drifting in silence Where lost can’t be found Everybody knows this time You’ll get by Move it on and let fate decide And those water-colored memories Soft as the summer’s breeze Pretty as can be Knowing now you’ll never fake it Whether my oceans divide I’ll try to understand this But everybody knows this time Autumn leaves Beauty’s got a hold on me Autumn leaves Pretty as can be Everyone can see Everyone except me Autumn leaves Beauty’s got a hold on me Autumn leaves Pretty as can be Pretty as can be Pretty as can be

Then I come in, they go mad Hit my nose and hit my back Break me every single bone Throw me out just like a stone It’s the corner. It’s the dress Small the town and big the mess That I cause with every step But still I walk, nonetheless They’re skipping backwards They’re trashing days Is that all they’re believing in? They’re skipping backwards They’re trashing days Is that all they’re believing in? It won’t change so come with me Just with your eyes I will see Just with your arms I can hold And keep away them dump and cold They’re skipping backwards They’re trashing days Is that all they’re believing in? Smashing heads to make it spin They’re skipping backwards They’re trashing days Is that all they’re believing in? Smash my hand to make it spin

So Into You 04:13
When you walked into the room There was voodoo in the vibe Captured by your style But I could not catch your eye I am so into you I can’t think of nothing else I am so into you I can’t think of nothing else Thinking how it’s gonna be Whenever I get you next to me Take it nice and slow From your head down to your toes I am so into you I can’t think of nothing else I am so into you I can’t think of nothing else Thinking how it’s gonna be Whenever I get you next to me Wanna love you all over Over and over Gonna love you all over Over and over I gotta love you all over Over and over I can love you all over Over and over And you can love me all over Over and over I’ll let you love me all over Over and over
6.
Time 04:36
Time Keeps flowing like a river Time Beckoning me Time Keeps flowing like a river To the sea To the sea Till it’s gone forever Gone forever Gone Goodbye, my love Maybe forever Goodbye, my friend The tide beckons me To the sea To the sea To the sea Till it’s gone forever Gone forever Gone forever more

Sick of Food 03:30
I’m sick of food So why am I so hungry? I was sick of you But I don’t mind seeing your little face I was sick of love So I just stopped feeling But I couldn’t find anything to take its place What’ll I do with my time? What’ll I do with my time? I’m sick of drink So why am I so thirsty? I must have been born on the planet Mercury I just called to ask you what I said last night I just called to ask you what I did last night So what’ll I do with my time? So what’ll I do with my time? Now I wake up, and I don’t have any gravity Now I wake up still walking in my sleep Now I wake up, feel the world drawing away from me Now I wake up, still walking in my sleep I’m sick of food So why am I so hungry? I’m sick of feeling the world draw away from me
8.
Not a day goes by I don’t think about you You left your mark on me It’s permanent A tattoo Pierce the skin and the blood runs through Oh, my baby The way you move It’s right in time The way you move It’s right in time It’s right in time with me I stand over the stove In the kitchen Watch the water boil And I listen Take off my watch And my earrings My bracelets Everything Lie on my back And moan at the ceiling Think about you And that long ride Bite my nails I get weak inside Oh, my baby
9.
Son C 03:04
Death walks by An inch from your face And it’s gone Life arrives Smarts at the taste Then it sobs Money talks with that accent you hate Then it snorts Here comes God He’s just as you thought He is old And the future lies still and quiet Underneath the bed at night Postcards of the past now that you owned Now are mine A ship sinks and all the shit that was in it Floats by I know you’d be useless And that you’d be used To watch from the mast and consider Is all that I do And the future lies still and quiet Underneath the bed at night I know the hearts you’ll break And the mistakes you’ll make Still the future lies still and quiet Underneath the bed at night

Hey Goodbye 04:03
Moms and dads When times are hard Do the best they can I must have come From a long line of unfulfilled To get where they did When Dad took the bus He left three of us Hey goodbye You see the light When it’s dark Hey surprise There is a life Better for you There at the door Your turn to what you were looking for After this detour Not kind Not unkind The smoke and the drink No more signs of life
