In the attic of the universe You will find that I've been dreaming Find that I've been dreaming In the city of stars in your head You will find that they've been dying Find that they've been dying slow In the valley of Los Angeles You will find that they are drowning Find that Hollywood is dead In the places that you want to be You will find all of the dreamers See all of the dreamers there (chorus) I've got a dream of home You've got to learn to let go Oregon I'm coming home Oregon I'll be right there I was in heaven I was in heaven, heaven And that's when I knew it That I don't want to live forever In the city of stars in your head You will find that they are shining Find that they are shining bright I was in heaven I was in heaven, heaven And that's when I knew it That I don't want to live

Words don't hurt you So it ain't worth it calling you a smart ass Sticks and stones May break your bones and I would rather try that (chorus) I'm alright with all this beer in my mind If it means I ain't ever gonna give you time And I'm alright with all this smoke in my lungs If it means I ain't ever gonna give you love And all of my best friends are livin' in my head And I'm sorry That I left you in the middle of the night It was raining fireworks It was a starlight kind of crime And all of my best friends are livin in my head
3.
Jukebox love ain't no fun anymore It costs a quarter and you get up to do it My love just hit me and called the police Said I was stealing all of her money (chorus) Won't you miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone Won't you love me while I'm here in your arms Bury me in the back Hallway kissing is what it used to be It doesn't last long but when you do it it's fun The honeymoon is what always works the best Give it a year you'll ask what happened to us
4.
Crawl across your oil paintings Artwork of the century Half asleep I'm on my feet Always such a lonely street They sing hallelujah to the Stars that never answer Any of the questions they have Meaningless and triumphant Cars crashing from the clouds Buildings tumble all around Try to cut some sense in it Waiting for the dope to hit The artist paints the canvas The world at your fingertips You've got a reason to exist You've got a reason to exist
5.
Galaxy Gun 02:43
Late night thoughts are out and they're coming around and into the void All your secrets here to play stuck in your mind like a pocket of change I won't keep it to myself all in a dream that's where I was born (chorus) I've been living in a wonderland A place for the crazy a place for the damned I've been selling you lies and lies so you could shoot me off like a galaxy gun Sell myself to you so when you come back you can haunt me too All the stories come untold making it sour making it sweet
6.
Donnie Darko, Satan's in my living room She ate half a batch Cryin' under covers too (chorus) Now I've got bad tunnel vision Now I've got the shivers Get me out of this (Get me out of this) Never-changing twilight room Hollow bodies Dancing in my own bedroom Passion of the Christ I can see you through my mind
7.
Evil 03:40
I'm on that long ride to nowhere Dust kicking up and I can't see a damn thing The sun has set one last time Air running dry I just left everything behind (chorus) I ain't good Nothing good at all I ain't good Nothing good at all So tell me more about evil I just got desert fever It's kicking in I can feel it in my veins The moon tonight won't be shining Highway to the sky won't take me for a ride
8.
Let's howl at the spitting moon You were Mary for the church play My hair was too long I was Jesus Christ Jewish blonde savior Hollywood carpenter (chorus) If I want to fly away I know how to get you out If I want to fly away I know how to get you out I know how to get you out I pray for the rapture Baby you're my ticket to heaven Crazy eyed young east coast holy roller Every time it's the same old shit Like we found a place but that ain't it Apparently it's written in the sky Like a map of clouds but it's never right Virginia, Baltimore One day I'll find my home
9.
And this planet was just spinning Even faster than this morning when I was Drowning in Manhattan Under covers in your apartment and I saw A building high as heaven And a park bench with some carved in hearts I saw Lovers they were waiting For a taxi to bring them home I saw children they were playing They were astronauts on a rocket ship and they were Sailing to some planet That is spinning slower than us right now
