Skyscraper

Didn't call for any answers
But you answered
That's my way
Who'da felt so alone
In a pool of a million dollar skyscraper
Steel shades

Hello, Hello
Are you there
I know you by name
But you just don't
Care, care, care
For me... you say

Baby, you've been calling
For my dollar on the hour
Dial the operator
Just to hear the sound
But it's not around

Two's of us our heart is broken
And I'm left here all alone
I thought these calls were recorded
And I'm right here on the phone

Mechanical problems
I just can't stop
My cold mechanical heart
1-900 tell me who cares
Who cares... and you say

Baby, you've been calling
For my dollar on the hour
Dial the operator
Just to hear the sound
Oh, my dear you've been hanging
By the phone for weeks and hours
You dump your ashtray out on the ground
But it's not around

We're mechanical people
With arrhythmic hearts (x3)
We're mechanical people
But don't set us apart

We're mechanical people
With arrhythmic hearts (x3)
We're mechanical people
But don't set us apart

And I know you've got a soul
And I know you can be held
And I'm stuck here, on the other line
Holding, holding, holding

We're mechanical people
With arrhythmic hearts (x3)
Don't don't don't set us apart
We're mechanical people
With arrhythmic hearts (x3)
Don't don't don't set us apart
We're mechanical people
With arrhythmic hearts (x3)
Don't don't don't set us apart

Sick and Wired

Shake it..
Ooh, the things we do
Ooh, the things we do

So much alcohol in my veins
It's amazing I don't just
Burst into flames
When I reach to light
Another cigarette
Well it smells like gasoline
On my breath

I'm sick and wired
I'm sick and wired

I've unplugged the phone
Bouncing off the walls
Cause I'm home alone
And my skin is so pale
And I chew my fingernails
To the bone

I'm sick and wired
I'm sick and wired

Doing ok
Feeling alright
One thing's for sure
That we won't be sleeping tonight

Well I'm twitching like a freak
Up late
Shoutin' at the TV
And I call "Oh Lord, won't you
Pull these demons out of me"

I'm sick and wired
I'm sick and wired
I'm sick and wired
I'm sick and wired

Doing ok
Feeling alright
One thing's for sure
That we won't be sleeping tonight

Well we're alright with this ill sensation
We can get down with any kind of situation
Well we're alright with this ill sensation
We can get down with any kind of situation

It's alright
Well alright

Magnolia

Magnolia, Magnolia
No things aren't what they seem
Magnolia, Magnolia
Crawlin' out the TV screen
Magnolia, Magnolia
I'm cardboard
Cardboard can dream

Well I saw the preacher
And he's drinkin' and kissin' on the missus
I saw the preacher
And I know that's none of my business
Good man that's sneakin' around
The devil's kitchen (?)

No matter how good you come
You've gotta go
No matter how good you come
You've gotta go
Magnolia, Magnolia
Don't go selling souls

Oh, you can rest at ease
Oh, you can rest at ease

The strong big ol' (?)
Like a big oak tree (?)

Magnolia, Magnolia
No things aren't what they seem
Magnolia, Magnolia
Crawlin' out the TV screen
Magnolia, Magnolia
I'm cardboard
Cardboard can dream

Well, the twinklin' lights
Are bright in the Heavens tonight
Those twinklin' lights
Are bright in the Heavens tonight
Oh, are they playing on the water tonight

Quiet Quiet Quiet
Now she comes
Quiet Quiet Quiet
Now she comes

You've gotta rest
You've gotta rest
Rest before the storm
