Day One
So i think a practice is on the agenda either for tonight, or tomorrow...........one of these two nights I'm probably going to just go ahead and get stoned. Or maybe I will excercise some self-control and not get stoned. That's for the other journal to explain.
For starters- lyrics:
"I'm So Down"
Didn't I see you sitting
uptight and so lonely
selling that empty stare on the stairway
waiting at the expressway
I might have said a word
I might have given you something
who knows
the night was still young
and i had no reservations
but there's a change out in the air tonight
there's a change out in the air tonight
yes there's a change out in the air tonight
i'm trying hard to care
Haven't I seen you elsewhere
you were standing outside
wrapped up tight all over and tired
but lovely as ever
and i might have said a word then
i might have given you something to say
who knows
the night was stillborn
and i had no expectations
and i have something to share tonight
i have something to share tonight
there's a feeling i should share tonight
i'm trying hard to care
and it just takes some time to explain myself
just as i know you need it
just as we make our way through it all
just as we start to fail
and i've lost myself somewhere tonight
i've lost myself somewhere tonight
i feel so self-aware tonight
but i just can't seem to care
let the snow explain our passage
let the rain express our sadness
and let the time wear down our defense
and leave us to our madness
maybe....it's not fair
we
should leave
town
baby....i don't care
i'm
so
down.
"Leslie"
Leslie
you've got it all right
there's something to be said for
something to be said for
It's in the way
you wear that cynical stare
there's so much i would give for
so much i would give for it
But I am sitting outside like a vagrant
waiting in submission to be noticed on your doorstep
so let the gentle scent emitting from this lonely cigarette
bring you one step closer to the door.
Leslie
you've got it all wrong
there's something I can't wait for
although you make me wait for
it's been too long and now
you've got to come out
i need to catch a glimpse of
i need to catch a glimpse of it
but i am sitting outside like a vagrant
waiting for admission i am waiting on your front step
so let the gentle scent emitting from this dying cigarette
bring you one step closer
bring you one step closer
and there's no time to wait
to contemplate
no time to wait to contemplate it baby
time to wait
we're running late
oh dear, it's bringing me down......
Leslie, our clocks are ticking out the cadence
can you hear it?
And time is slipping out of our remembrance
can you feel it?
So i am waiting like a vagrant
like a vagrant
like a vagrant
yes i am waiting like a vagrant with a pocket full of hope
for love to bring you to me through your door.
"Tentative"
Here we are again
at a turning point in nowhere
but we're bound to end up somewhere, my dear.
Yeah I've seen the light
but now i can't see the ceiling
blinded by empty feelings, oh dear.....
But the stars are on you
cause you will have your way
Oh they shine on you
and now you can have your say
Oh the night's in love with you
it's enchanted every day
The light is on you
when disaster's on its way.
Girl you'd better watch your mouth
cause everyone can see you
and the deaf and blind can read you
they'll see inside your head.
and they'll notice who you are
and you cannot hide from the light inside this building.
but the stars are on you
cause now you will have your way
oh they shine for you
and now you can have your say
oh the night's in love with you
and it gets bolder every day
the night is on you
and disaster's on its way.
it is high time i split the seams
it takes time to escape these kinds of dreams
you know what i am speaking of
not love not love not love
and here we are again
at a turning point in nowhere
but we're bound to end up somewhere, my dear.
yeah, i've seen the light
but i can't escape these feelings
blackened walls and empty ceilings
oh dear.
"Distraction"
This is my insinuation
watching through the windows
taking off your bathrobe
following white lines down the glass
baby we can do it
i know where you live
this is my explanation
walking up the staircase
you were in the hallway
never had a clue when it hit you
baby welcome home
it's good to finally meet you
and i might be sorry for some things
i might be sorry half the time
and i might apologize for some things
but oh no, not for this.
this is my temptation
to paint a darker picture
something about heartache
something that ends in sweet redemption
but baby, now it's over
and how i hated you.
you drove me to distraction
you drove me to distraction
you drove me to distraction
you drove me to distraction.
"Estelle"
Estelle has lips like burning diamonds
her hair is dark like a coal mine and
her eyes are colder than a fountain
i should know
i've seen them staring at me
Estelle has teeth like broken glass and
when she smiles it's oh so crass
and her lips are cruel and teasing thorns
i should know
i've felt them moving on me.
And she's really got her fashions figured out
she knows that she can turn me inside out
and though i never know just what she talks about
oh i've got to follow
you know i've got to follow her
Estelle has skin of whitest snow,
but she's far from pure, yeah this I know
and her words are sharp like ginsu knives
i should know
i've felt them stabbing at me.
Estelle is like a granite statue
she's never felt infatuation
and what she wants she always gets
i should know
she's never had to ask me.
And she's really got her rhythmn figured out
she knows that body carries so much clout
and though i don't like to wonder what she thinks about
oh i've got to follow
you know i've got to follow her
Estelle, i've felt you staring
Estelle, i've seen you moving
Estelle, i feel you stabbing
Estelle, you're always grabbing
at my sanity
you've excercised such strong control of me
whatever you do, it will be right
just please don't leave me cold tonight
i've lost my will, i cannot fight
Estelle....I just want you to keep me.
