Lay Down Your Weary Arms (lyrics)

oh darling please please please come to me
lay down your weary arms
you will see
just how the wind may blow
send the sun into the sea

there was a word i heard
you told it to somebody new, not me
how could it be
there was an empty look
from all the rivals i had known

things are not yet shown
but all i've ever known
is my love will go on

oh please don't go away, to kansas no
although the cards are strong
the climates wrong
and we will lose a day
and i can't stand to see you go

cause there's a tree somewhere, for you and me
and we can trim it down,
then all could see
how we have come so far
to turn this all into one night

things are not yet shown
but all i've ever known
is my love will go on

my love is alone
a lonely lonely sigh

oh zombie please please please no disease
take off your weary arms
before you squeeze
and i will tell you things
that i've told nobody alive

cause there's a place somewhere
for you and me
where bells will ring and play a symphony
and i can't lose you now
cause i've got no one i can trust

The Mission (lyrics)

a mission sits on a lonely hill
i'm waiting there and i'm waiting still
for someone to come and take me far away

there's a graveyard there they just forgot
and in its place a parking lot
with people painted over, what a shame

who's to blame for all of our broken hearts?
there broken before love even starts
i read when people die they don't really care
they just stand smiling in the open air

and hey whats wrong with you?
hey what do you do?
does fashion design make you lonely too?

a mission sits on a lonely hill
its standing there and it always will
but i can't stand your problems anymore

Yes I Know What Day It Is (lyrics)

yes i know what day it is
the one we all revolve around
and yes i know what day it is
the way we all will run around

if i choose to face it
i know i'll just sleep longer now
and if i choose to replace it
i'll forget everything and i'll lose my one vow

yes i know just how ya feel
like everyone is on your nerves
yes i know just how ya feel
your anger and just what it serves

and there's idiots who just keep talkin
(just keep talkin' can't stop talkin')
and they won't shut up
they just keep on walkin and talkin to you

william frawley was fred mertz
just until the day he died
william frawley was fred mertz
in the roosevelt he chose to hide

(oh don't you ever leave me
i've got a lonely song)

Tired Of The Casual Goddess (lyrics)

and i'm tired or following you around
and i'm tired of letting you let me down
woah i'm tired of calling your name

and i know you gotta your way
and i know i don't have much to say
i still know that i really tried

and i know that she's the casual goddess
taking tea cups to the train that she bought us
she speaks and we all start smiling
not aware that she seems to be lying
to us and nobody else
she don't know where to go

and i hear you talkin' to me i

and i know i've loved no one but you
and you know i don't know what to do
aw fuck new york it swallowed you whole

and i know that she's the casual goddess
cause in chicago i know that she lost us
but please kitten come home i can't stand it
its all wrong this ain't the way that we planned it
i love you and nobody else
please come home, please come home
