Never Again

I can't believe that it's morning again
Last I recall it was quarter to ten
Down at the pub with a few of my mates
Now I'm regretting my intake mistake
Try to sit up but the spin of the bed
Feels like it's ripping my brain from my head
The shriek of the sun is a hammer that falls
And pounds on the anvils inside my eyeballs
Not really walking on watery knees
I'm wading through nausea, dizzy, and quease
Don't know where I am so I head for the door
And I trip on a body face down on the floor
She was half naked and out like a light
And now I wish I could remember last night
But the thoughts in my head all collide and dissolve
Crawl to the tile as the building revolves
I'll have a pint of ale, or maybe two
A quart of your porter please, and that'll do
Maybe a yard of stout, or three or four
How did I end up here, upon the floor?
The breeze in the trees screaming in through the screen's
A deafening din of decibels obscene
A mockingbird cheerily chirps on the sill
And mocks me as I become violently ill
Retching and wretched, regretting the fact
That last night control was an Item I lacked
And if I'm alive then I'd rather be dead
Then have to endure all this pain my head
Never again will I over-imbibe
If someone could help me get through this alive
Then I promise, I promise, no never again!
At least not till next time it's quarter to ten

Chemical

Sanity fragments and splinters in two
Quietly swept up and taken away with the tide
Cracks in the road of your brain bite and chew
You lose your mind and then take me along for the ride
Time after time I said I loved you
Again and again, that's all that I could do
Do you believe that's all you can do?
One chemical shy and your insides unglue
I wish I knew which piece of you I'm talking to
Mailman will wrong you or Jesus will call
And every time I can feel my head spinning around
Time after time I said I loved you
Again and again, that's all that I could do
Do you believe that's all you can do?
It doesn't matter if they take you away
The state you're in is where you'll always stay
Settle for less when the ending began
I know that it's only a matter of chemicals now
Time after time I said I loved you
Again and again, that's all that I could do
Do you believe that's all you can do?

On the riverbank wrapped in plastic she's dead
Enter the agent with thoughts of Tibet in his head
He sees a little man dancing in a red room,
an aging agent, and a girl revealing her doom
Is this real or is it a dream?
Look close, 'cause the owls are not what they seem
Cousin lookalike must be one of the damned
Because she can the parasite with stringy grey strands on his head
Giant hovers over perforated agent who bleeds
Offers a triple revelation and hopes he believes
Is this real or is it a dream?
Look close, 'cause the owls are not what they seem
Fire walk with me
Dream souls walk, wander far away, one has gone astray
Searching all around town for the man with one arm
He's got a parasite but not the one causing the harm
Now the giant says it is happening again
On the riverbank wrapped in plastic she's dead again
Is this real or is it a dream?
Look close, 'cause the owls are not what they seem
Fire walk with me
Daddy's dead, hit his head, just blame Bob

Fish

In the sea, sometimes I see sunlight
But mostly I only see nothing, nothing's bright
It's dim in the deep of the brine
Down this deep, on some short nights I sleep
But mostly I only count hungry sharks, not sheep
This life in the sea is so cheap
You say you're so happy with who I am
I am a fish you just don't understand
You say you're so happy with who I am
If I'm a fish then I am not your man
Octopi swim slowly swishing by
But mostly I only stay far from arms that pry
Their inky opaque makes me shy
I have heard above there is blue sky
But mostly I only wish with fins I could fly
And over the sea I would glide
You say you're so happy with who I am
I am a fish you just don't understand
You say you're so happy with who I am
If I'm a fish then I am not your man
You could change to become a mermaid
But mostly I know you'll remain the same
But you're not the one who's to blame
I could grow, become a man I know
But mostly I only know that I go too slow
