Track Name: Stranger
he keeps using a nickname
entire length of a story
i don't know what he's talking about anymore
he grins like he's in love
but he only truly met someone
i can't make sense of it myself

you're acting like a stranger

cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha

and at the first of every month
you know he's got another grunt
this time his boys, they don't understand
he truly thinks that he's in love
he keeps on grinning she's the one
i can't make sense of it myself

you're acting like a stranger

he went on talking again
this time she don't understand
and i look back like i know
like i know the feeling
he never thought she'd break his heart
those last days it fell apart
and i grab the car keys myself

you're acting like a stranger
Track Name: All But Gone
those days
they are not done

when you pushed me down
sat me in my red chair
i looked dumb
staring at your curly hair
stroking the back of your neck
some european romantic
and i strummed my detuned guitar
in my underwear

those days
they're all but gone

i stayed locked in my room
i could hear your banter
then i heard your friends
i heard your friends' a-ranting
about my records and all my mistakes
then i grabbed a hammer
imagine how i break his face

those days
they're all but gone

i wrote a few love songs
some on dying men
when i start conversations with women
i don't know where to begin
they start laughing and then it ends
they start laughing and then it ends
there it is

and if leave once you know i never come back
and if i did i'd be as nervous as a hungry rat
i don't ever wanna be compared
to a scoundrel looking for food
i don't ever wanna be a vagrant
a vagrant like you

those days
they're all but gone
Track Name: Stuck in Here so Long
you take your time buried in the fight
like a farmer's boy chasing butterflies
it's not their fault they can fly away from here
and i'm looking down at empty hands again
empty hands again

as an honest boy i kept it in
full of doubts, living in sin
keep the lamp on at night, fight off the thoughts
of running away to a foreign bed
running away to a foreign bed again

and i know sometimes it's wrong
to be stuck in here so long

you take your time steady in the night
like an artist's son chasing off daylight
it's not their fault they got their bags packed
ready at the dime
and i'm looking for a reason to stay

and i know sometimes it's wrong
to be stuck in here so long
Track Name: Tusk
under the hills and through the trees
into a maze of movie screens
where this goes could be anyone's guess
she knows best

the lights they shine through wooden limbs
like helicopters on fugitives
she looks back as if i could keep a secret
she knows best
in the basement of her home
the very next week
we're smiling at each other
like we're across streets
where this goes could be anyone's guess
she knows best

and i know what we do
is between me and you

the lights they shine all dramatic and bright
like we running from the flight
she looks back as if i could keep a secret
she knows best
thinking that it's over i see it in her eyes
i see that look all over-shined
where this goes could be anyone's guess
she knows best

and i know what we do
is between me and you
Track Name: Season's Change
smell of air
it feels like rain
her feelings
like seasons change
told you i'd come around
maybe i'll stay
her feelings
like children sway

and i couldn't
see what i was
stepping into

it fills the air
that smell of rain
i hear her
against the windowpane
if i come around
i won't say
in too deep
so now i'll rearrange

and i couldn't
see what i was
stepping into
