1.	HUNGRY GHOST 02:06	lyrics	buy track
How much do your ashes weigh? Not much compared to your old ways Your black box was in the hallway Put away Chocolate cherries aren't even good. Are you a dolphin Annoying other dolphins? Do you know how to swim? Are you a dolphin? Hungry Ghost next in line, for good. Over by the water Your mother, son, and daughter And by the other water Others like you Hungry Ghosts underneath the Bay Bridge Chocolate cherries aren't even good.
2.	I HOPE I WAKE UP SOON 02:58	lyrics	buy track
Go down sun, go down, down, down, Close your eyes at the drunken town. Saturday is looming again, But I put on my sleepy sunken crown. I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon. Come on moon, come up moon, soon, Lie with me in my bed in my room. Memory's spinning tales again, She told me no such thing as doom. I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon. Oh, the soaking stories, That ring themselves out, Over our eyes at night, When the lamp is out, And we're alone, And we're alone. Come on sun, go down, down, doom. I lie alone in my bed in my room. I try and keep my heart at bay, I hope I wake up soon.
3.	I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU 02:06	lyrics	buy track
I'm afraid of bees, I'm afraid of their stingers, Yellow, black, and mean, I'm scared of bees. I'm afraid of the dark. Can't see what's out there! In a house or park, I'm scared of the dark. But I'm not scared of you! I'm afraid of ghosts, What are they looking for? They need love the most, But I'm scared of ghosts. But I'm not scared of you! Once in a while, I get frightened. Once in a while, I get scared Of death, But I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared, I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared, I'm not scared of you! I'm not scared, I'm not scared of you.
4.	STANDING BODIES 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Standing bodies staring over Standing bodies staring over Themselves, themselves, themselves. Themselves, themselves, themselves. I took twenty steps through shadow bodies, Their faces flashing blue and red, I needed to be feeling paper, I needed to be underneath a pen, And free of senses, free of senses. And free of senses, free of senses. We chose not to hold each other We chose not to be together We chose not to weather. Well, I don't want to be here anymore. Standing bodies staring over Standing bodies staring over Themselves, themselves, themselves.
5.	SURROUNDING THINGS 03:23	lyrics	buy track
Surround, surround, surround, surrounding things Swallow me please Surround, surround, surround, surrounding things Shut me into you. Is that what I want you to do? Is that what I put you here to Do? Floor from the floor from the floor From the floor to the ceiling I'm another thing I'm collecting Surround, surround, surround, surrounding things I'm swallowing. The pony and the rooster Know each other And they've been talking. They're viewing record boxes and papers And roses. On a rainy day I'll throw them all together In a pile on my bed The party is invited and the party is the things in my head In my head Surrounding me Surround, surround, surround, surrounding things Swallow me please Surround, surround, surround, surrounding things Shut me into you.
6.	TO STAY STUCK 04:54	lyrics	buy track
What do I understand About the way you feel? You're all sliced up Well, what's the appeal? When we hang out We hold it in. I know you've thought of marrying me The way I've thought of marrying you But it's too late And it's not okay To stay stuck in the middle It's not okay To stay in the middle It won't be long Next time I come to town I'm not that great You should know that by now When we meet up Keep that in mind I know you've thought We could work it all out But there was nothing wrong It's just a new time now And it's not okay To stay stuck in the middle It's not okay To stay in the middle Can't you tell We've been displaced By the time I got here It was already a waste That's our case I'm sorry to have made it all a waste I'm sorry to have done it that way I'm sorry to have made it all a waste I'm sorry to have done it that way I'm sorry to be stuck in the middle I'm sorry to have done it that way I'm sorry
7.	HURT YOU BACK 02:31	lyrics	buy track
I've been cool Way too cool, in fact I watched you fade Expecting you to come back I should hurt you I should hurt you back I should hurt you I should hurt you back I've been good Not like I should have been It was yours Your idea from the beginning I should hurt you I should hurt you back I should hurt you I should hurt you back We were so happy I told my mother Now nothings funny Why did you bother? Why did you bother? I should hurt you I should hurt you back I should hurt you I should hurt you back When I fell for you I feel for amber oil on your neck Fell for running through crowds together Enjoying the hell And planning our escape We could have saved it there. I should hurt you I should hurt you back I should hurt you I should hurt you back.
8.	YOU TWO JUST SLEEP 04:26	lyrics	buy track
I shouldn't sleep with you anymore If I must, I'll sleep on the couch on the main floor You two can cuddle You two can be up there and sleep You two just sleep You two just sleep. When I wake up and we've all fallen asleep in your bed All of the feelings I've had for you rush back to my head And I can't pretend That your arms don't mean anything to me And you two just sleep You two just sleep You two just sleep For hours I feel like I've lost all my powers And I try to Shut my brain off And ignore the light Like you two Just sleep You two just sleep You two just sleep You two just sleep I shouldn't sleep with you anymore I shouldn't sleep with you anymore I shouldn't sleep with you
9.	I HOPE I WAKE UP SOON (reprise) 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Go down sun, go down, down, down, Close your eyes at the drunken town. Saturday is looming again, But I put on my sleepy sunken crown. I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon. Come on moon, come up moon, soon, Lie with me in my bed in my room. Memory's spinning tales again, She told me no such thing as doom. I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon, I hope I wake up soon. Oh, the soaking stories, That ring themselves out, Over our eyes at night, When the lamp is out, And we're alone, And we're alone. Come on sun, go down, down, doom. I lie alone in my bed in my room. I try and keep my heart at bay, I hope I wake up soon.
