1.
A Dollar and A Cookie Where you’re going, I will follow When I’m ready Will you wait for me? With all that’s happened You’ll not stay here I won’t either But will you wait for me? (chorus) Will you wait for me to come around? (x4) Take me with you To this new life First I’ll let go Will you wait for me? I’ll be no trouble If you’ll have me I just can’t be here Will you wait for me? (chorus) Because I might be late Or I may not come at all I may go this on my own I thought that I should tell you (half chorus) I’m so tangled In the old way Until I cut loose Will you wait for me? At the end of This disaster You will leave here But will you wait for me? (chorus x2)

Pushing Tin 03:41
Pushing Tin Actors, Take your places Time to rule the world for four years If you were merely players We wouldn’t be in this here fine mess (chorus) Don’t fly you’re gonna die You can’t fly without my daddy Don’t fly you’re gonna die You can’t fly without my daddy, No you will die without my daddy You’re gonna die Tapping phone lines, starting files Rousing neighborhood suspicions This four year old with her pigtails Is gonna overthrow your government (chorus) Actors, you’re just no good Why not head on back to Hollywood? ‘Cause if you were merely players We wouldn’t be in this here fine mess
3.
Ransom 06:02
Ransom In this darkness Somewhere, not nowhere Somebody tell me why I’m here Behind the sun, but not in shadow Just caught somewhere in between Seems all I do lately is cry at your feet With this Hell weighting down my soul The light at the end of the tunnel has gone Can you really see me now? Can you see me? Really see me? Can you see me? (repeat)
4.
Happy Accident Let’s just do this one time, I’m afraid I’ll fall in love I know you hate me like I hate me But hold me close instead of Far away, far away, will you have me? Far away, I cannot tell Too close to keep me, you’re too close to keep me Far away, far away, will you not have me? Far away, I cannot tell I know you hate me like I hate me But what am I supposed to do? Living life, swirling in and out of control Fantasy, fantasy Fantasy or is it real? Can I keep swirling in and out of control Sanity, sanity Fantasy or is it real? Hold me close, ‘cause I’m falling in and out of control Gravity, gravity This fantasy, oh is it real? Well let’s just do this one time I’m afraid to be afraid I know you hate me like I hate me but you’re too close to keep me Far away, far away Far away, far away
5.
The Wilds 02:29
The Wilds I feel that I have seen all of these places Feel that I have seen all of your familiar faces And now you’re running for that consolation prize door I see a choice has been made (chorus) To let you go To let you go To let you go Seems like I’ve been here before Now have you found your, your greener pastures? And are you satisfied or are all of your walls falling faster? I’m growing weary and I’m wishing we could move on But I can’t write that last line (chorus) I feel that I can let you go I feel that I can let you go I feel that I can let you go I feel that I can…
6.
R.E.M. 04:40
R. E. M. Fear the dreams that bleed And twist reality Blurring lines between night And memory (pre-chorus) Burn the candle at both ends Hourglass runs out of sand Time can only bring you down Time flies, but are we having fun? Time gets you nowhere And time brings you closer to the end (chorus) And it would feel so good to leave you all behind Run away from this life in the night And it would feel so good, nothing of you would remind This weary mind of that night In the night Sleep restores the life Beaten by the day And dreams release the mind From humanity (pre-chorus) (chorus)
7.
Unsure 03:51
Unsure So, now you’ve come here and it’s going slowly I’m sorry you’ve come all this way I’m sorry that you can’t be what I needed But I’ll let you go this time, ‘cause it will get you in the end Just because I want this doesn’t make it easier And I’m sorry that I lost my nerve I’m sorry that I couldn’t be what you wanted But I’ll let you go this time, ‘cause it will get you in the end See what you do to me When you put your arms around me? It’s harder, It’s harder oh What you get ain’t what you see And this is harder than it should be What do you want from me, When you are touching me? It’s harder, it’s harder oh And this night is killing me ‘Cause this is harder than it should be, yeah
8.
A Clown and A Boy Walking hand in hand Alone (x2) Oooh (To see you stand before me) You’re such a sight to see One more liberation, one more casualty You break the chains that bind me just to watch me bleed One more liberation, one more casualty (x3)
9.
Lowdown 04:32
Lowdown I had you under my skin And now there are just scars You ripped and you tore at me And you hit bone but don’t stop And I’m not angry, I’m not happy I’m not fearful, I’m just done (x2) (chorus) Try to push me down, try to pull me under And I won’t get away I will just give up, I will surrender And I will stay lowdown Try to push me down, try to pull me under And I won’t get away There will be no struggle, no argument I will stay lowdown, lowdown, lowdown Now I feel nothing for you Except for pity You’ve wrung me through An emotional Hell And now that it’s over I’m done And I’m not angry, I’m not happy I’m not fearful, I’m just done (x2) (chorus)
10.
Rhythm Method Hey, watch yourself around me I have no grand delusions About what we’re doing here So be careful, ‘cause I don’t love you But I like you just enough to Hey, watch yourself around me Hey, watch yourself Please don’t stand so closely to me They might think you mean something to me And I don’t think of you and me As something that will see next week No I don’t think of you and me As something that will see next week I could ask you not to talk about this Perhaps it’s best if we both We just forgot about this I would ask you not to talk about this But I know you’ve already forgotten all about this You leave me here again To wash this taboo off my skin… Get away Hey, watch yourself around me
