The Fact Remains (Szabo) well I’m onto you, i’m on to all the things you “had” to do to get you through and how, you never wanted to now don’t be ashamed, but the fact remains: you went ahead and did it anyway … the fact remains i’m onto you, i’m onto all the things you solemnly swore you’d never do before now you, do ‘em all the more i’m onto you, i’m onto all you stole from your roommate’s stash ‘cause you didn’t have the cash when all you had to do was ask now don’t be ashamed, but the fact remains: you go ahead and do it anyway so don’t be scared ‘cause i won’t say a word it won’t make a difference anyway … ‘cause the fact remains i see you in an airport walking barefoot and you can’t find your bags i see you being careful not to step on cracks gotta watch your back i’m onto you, i’m onto all the things you hide from those who get too close and who, you’re gonna miss the most … the most now don’t be ashamed, but the fact remains: you go ahead and do it anyway so don’t be scared and don’t say a word it won’t make a difference anyway … ‘cause the fact remains

The Weekend Song (Szabo) well my weekend is almost done I’m driving on my way back home so I reach back for another one of my weakness I’m blinded – I’m almost drunk reminded by the slipping sun so I pull the visor down put my seatbelt on with my free hand it’s all the same to me it’s all the same to me it’s all the same … it’s all the same my left hand is almost numb it’s steering hangin’ by the thumb it’s the same hand that the ring was on my commitment but she’s not the same as me she’s not the same as me she’s not the same … I’m just not the same well you don’t need to include me ‘cause I’ll just get too polluted and you don’t need to believe me and I don’t blame you for leaving my freeway is almost done I’m staring thinking ‘bout my son so I reach back ‘cause I need someone to complete me well you don’t need to include me ‘cause I’ll just get too polluted and you don’t need to believe me and I don’t blame you for leaving

Butterfly 04:47

Butterfly (Szabo) we mix like water and gasoline thick and thin like seasons Me, Moe and Melody we could be bigger than jesus after the gravity we could look in through the keyhole encores and limousines ’cause Bowie says we could be heroes if you ever wanna know how far the water goes if you ever need to ask about regret butterfly armchair philosophy we could act like people bar codes and cheap seats we could sell out like The Eagles if you ever wanna know how far the water goes if you ever need to ask about regret butterfly

A BLUR OF HANDS (Szabo/Strongman) so you like dead air with nothing ringing in your ears you’d like to think it’s only you outside the radio and sky do you know you stare? you think that no one sees you they must be waving back to someone just behind you you’re from another planet your spaceship leaves you it stranded when you comb your hair you get stuck staring in the mirror you don’t look anything like ma or pa or baby brother but you do your share of what they ask you to do you’re not aware that they’re just trying to control you you’re from another planet your spaceship leaves you it stranded you’re from another-too bad no one will believe you now can you believe that you can breathe inside of me? can you believe that you can breathe inside of me? can you believe that you can breathe inside of me? you won’t have to go far … so you miss your friends will they go on without you? or can you depend on them to bring you back before 2OIO? so you go out to dance as long as no one sees you you’re a blur of hands like signals to potential friends and family you’re from another planet your spaceship leaves you it stranded you’re from another-too bad no one will believe you no one will believe you no one will believe

TRAGEDY (Szabo/Losee) you’re the accident that never happens ‘cause you never plan enough you just hold yourself for ransom and then you pay yourself off you’re just a baby in a basket on a doorstep out in traffic you’re gonna need some antiseptic, not just a bandage or an elastic you’re a tragedy no big deal at least you’re being entertained it’s a tragedy no big deal and you don’t do anything … for me you’re like the pop songs you used to put on you used to sing along but now you don’t i guess you used to be a classic but now you’re empty you’re just a habit you’re a tragedy no big deal at least you’re being entertained it’s a tragedy no big deal and you don’t do anything … for me why can’t you just meet me at the door like I’m home like we use to we’ll talk about the warm or the cold like we care like it matters an apology you couldn’t manage you’re not a body just an appendage you won’t see me channel surfin’ you’re channel sufferin’ you’re channel sick you’re a tragedy no big deal at least you’re being entertained it’s a tragedy no big deal and you don’t do anything … for me

Incandescent (Szabo) Would you burn me a candle? Will you sing on your way back home? Will you save me a mouthful? If not could you leave me a note? Will you comb my hair when my head is full of knots? Will you tell me you’re scared when you’re ready? There’s no way I would take The replacement on the way There’s no one to replace I’m ok I’ll do just fine alone I’ll do just fine I hope You’ll do just fine out there I’ll do just fine I’m scared I just wrote you a page full On both sides of the foolscap note Just a week in the mail If not, I’ll just wait ‘til you call I could make us a meal and then eat half all alone Save the rest for a week You could re-heat it There’s no way I would take The replacement on the way There’s no one to replace I’m ok I’ll do just fine alone I’ll do just fine I hope You’ll do just fine out there I’ll do just fine I’m scared I can’t remember what you look like anyway I can’t remember what we felt like anyway I can’t remember what you look like anyway I can’t remember what I feel like anyway There’s no way I would take The replacement on the way There’s no one to replace I’m ok I’ll do just fine alone I’ll do just fine I hope You’ll do just fine out there I’ll do just fine I’m scared
