Erase me, erase me from your life
Or place me, place me in the hall of fame
It doesn't matter, now you hold the key
To tuck me away where no one ever sees
Hang me, hang me on your gilded wall
Or tuck me in a trophy once and for all
I'll just be sitting here awake after dark
Singing how long the miles to your heart
I jump up and I click my heels in your memory
It's all beggin the question: what'll you do with me?
There ain't one motion left that i'd suggest
But just to sit still where ya wanna place me next

Maybe Sunday

I woke up I was feeling sad and I don't know why
I'm no sleeping dog but let me lie
She will come to me on maybe sunday
Sweetly promising me nothing but conversation
Every seventh day I turn around again
I don't know why. I don't know why.
The seventh day of hanukkah
I'm sleepin in Salonica
The plant's already dead
But it can still stand
In the pent up light you shed
The moon lost half its power when it turned to face
Beckoned by the messiness of breaks
She will see for me if my hair's still hanging
Low like she remembers, and on Sunday Morning
Even though I don't look like your Strokes frontman
I think I am Julian
The money's in the register
THe marquee flickers on
Trains are standing in the dawn
The singer leaves the song...

Object of the Game

Nobody's rooting for us anymore
Nobody's rooting, no one's writing reports
On the butcher I love
Or the Catholic nuns who he cuts for
I wonder what we all are waiting for,
for Winter or when we're gone with the wind
I wonder what we all are waiting for,
for Winter or when we're gone with the wind?
I wondered as a kid
Can't be the only person who did
Mothers of footballers and delinquents
When they all come down
it's no coincidence that I write this
Asking what the object of the game is
Oh what do we win by hanging in?
Asking what the object of the game is
Oh what do we win by hanging in?
What do we stand to win?
