I want to move to Canada,
So you’ll write my name,
On all the walls of the border states,
Those northern states you used to know,
You used to know before you ran away.
Wish I knew,
What I ever did to you.
You don’t say a word.
You used to be okay alright,
What happened when I woke you up last night?
You’re not the girl I used to know,
I’ve gotta go oh I’ve gotta go alright!
Wish I knew,
What I ever did to you.
Wish I knew,
Why I’d waste my time with you.
Guess I’ll just go home,
And waste,
My days away,
Go home and waste,
My days away.
I'll go home and waste,
My days away.
I'll go home and waste,
My days away. I'll go home.
Wish I knew,
What I ever did to you.
Wish I knew,
Why I’d waste my time with you.
Guess I’ll just go home.

Silent as the Bear

Move,
You better move away.
I’ve got nothing to say,
I’m silent as the bear.
I’ve,
Got a hot chick follows me,
In a car but it’s dirty,
She looks outside without a sound,
Look behind you,
Look behind you.
Flirt,
Bring your body to death,
Don’t ever give it rest,
Nothing needs to eat,
Fly,
As far as fast you can,
I won’t tell your old man,
In the morning it’s a dream,
Look behind you,
Look behind you.
She’s,
Wanted to know my love,
But it never seems enough,
She follows looks and speaks.
I,
Can’t pin it down right now,
If I ever did know how,
Getting difficult in vans.
Look behind you,
Look behind you.
Look behind you, (everyone sings)
Look behind you,
Look behind you,
Look behind you.

Last Time

The television’s out today,
No one knows what to do or say,
They wish it all would go away,
Stare at the wall it’s out today.
Show’s over you’ve lived for the last time.
Don’t know you wished for the last time.
The lock’s put on your mouth today,
The big man threw the key away,
Can’t go back now cause it’s too late,
We’ll come to rise just for your sake.
Show’s over you’ve lived for the last time.
Don’t know you wished for the last time.
Show’s over the curtain’s drawn its line.
Don’t tell me you wished for the last time.
Stand tall to stiffen one last time.
Stand strong and hold up to your line.
Didn’t know this was your fault and not mine.

So Small

I’ve started seeing little spots,
Wish I knew why,
Wish I knew why.
I’ve started seeing little signs,
The end is nigh,
The end is nigh.
Who broke your bones,
You little signs,
Heaving little sighs,
Breaking little spines.
I’ve started thinking do or die,
Spitting flat faced lies,
Spitting flat faced lies.
Hope that I die before the signs,
Unguilt my hide,
Unguilt my hide.
Who broke your bones,
You little signs,
Heaving little sighs,
Breaking little spines.
Who broke your bones,
You little signs,
Breathin’ out the lies,
Sharpened forks and knives.
I feel so small.
I feel so small.
I feel so small.
I feel so small.
