Yes Enemy 03:39
Yes, Enemy Just laying on the ground, waiting for … but the park is dark and it’s raining, everyone is hiding Just got a message that I don’t wanna read cuz I already know it’s nothin’ but no. The rain says “no” and the park says “no” and you’re the master of no. Everwhere, Yes Enemy Everyone Yes Enemy I know we’re not supposed to but let’s hang out everyone else is really boring we could sit on the ground and talk about how they made the TV but you’ll just say no cuz you always say you’ll just say no cuz you always say cuz you’re the master. Everywhere, Yes Enemy Everyone, Yes Enemy.

Nothing Ever Works Nothing ever works around here you gotta use a paper and pen cuz I gotta talk about you, now and then. Cause actually you’re stuck in me lika a prong actually you’re cooked in me like your coffee pot I left on all day long. I tried to cool it, cool it down but it shattered into crystal and I tried to call you, to aim at you like my cell phone was a pistol. Oh, when, when? Will I ever stop my calling? Oh, when, when? Will you ever stop responding? Nothing ever moves around here you gotta turn it on, and then see that I communicate with letter and then sounds from my records and my TV (Chorus)
3.
Voice By Hand I'd away with you if I could if you would give me a wooden ring, I'd sing but the future is where we live and I give the present away, the present away (you know that I give) Well I recorded your voice by hand I illustrated the things you said in my head but the future is where we live and I give the present away

Anything On Me If you're alone, do you wanna meet up with me? I'm in a city I don't know the name of the street I got a view of a brick wall In this country, somehow a dollar makes three I'm always game for stupid shopping sprees but now I found out I'm nearly in the bread line dogs barking, give me a sign If you'll be late or not show up at all there's no way to even give me a call I'll just hide inside, I'm too scared to walk around dogs howlin', show me the town It's like a New York without any attitude it’s the indifference that seems to hurt my mood I'm gonna dress in black so no one ever tries to try Anything on me.
5.
Landline 03:57
Landline I used to be a starchild Howlin’ on the moon phone but since then I been younger ever since I left my home. For seven years I wondered where it was a dug my bone once a while I dial the number to my telephone Oh, the landline is gone. (repeat verses) I love to find you downstairs, the TV glowin’ like a halo You ever seem to grow old, you just been old forever.
6.
Strange 04:24
Strange If there's a way to go then I will go it if there's a reason to stay I don't show it hitch a ride on a plane where it's certain that nothins the same where will you be when I'm comin? Cuz I'm guaranteed to be comin back, back to the same that I made strange No matter how old I grow, it's hard to be true from my head to my toes well I'm sorry if I was mean, I'm sorry if I was mean Cuz I try to protect, well I cover my neck from your fangs with my hand and I know you can't understand that I'm the same that I made strange
7.
Control 05:28
Control It could be easy to please, to please me just open up your straight mouth draw the bridge let someone out and walk back to the old house blanket canopy I will never want out but if I could leave you I'd leave a trail of songs so you could figure me out if you wanted, but don't tread too lightly, too lightly if I could change you I'd change everything so you would never want out you'd answer to your bird call it's strange, the beauty we find when taking control (chorus) It makes no difference that she won't compare it gives me a terrible scare it could be easy to please, to please me
8.
Woolf 03:35
Woolf (walk into the water) I think I need to break a bone It’s something that I never done It’s crazy but it sound like fun But then you’d have to see Me bent up on the ground And it’d break your heart So I don’t wanna play around anymore (walk into the water) I think I need to leave this town Sorry to the Puget Sound I’m old enough to settle down now But I’m too young To buy a house And it breaks my heart Cuz I don’t wanna wait around anymore (walk into the water) Virginia Woolf could stay alone She did away with telephone Its crazy but I think I could, too Then I’d disappear, Think I could disappear But it’d break my heart and I don’t wanna hang around anymore for many years I wait.
9.
History 05:37
History Somethins changing, something is unclear though I shoulda seen it coming we been breaking up for years its such a cliche, what you reap is what you sew but I really didn't think you'd leave when I let you go OH, somethin' Is getting to me, I won't let it go, it won't let me be. How was I the last to see, that you've gotten over me? I was under the impression when we were younger we could tell like the scene from a movie, when we kiss the strings swell well that's old news now, a distant memory everyone's got a story well this our History, yeah
10.
Numbers Don't Care Even spiders have names and are friend with one another well I made ‘em all marry and bury each other. Well it’s only fair, that it seems like I am the only one who cares. Tornadoes play games and they pick on the house which they wanna take for a ride well it’s only fair that nature is not the one to care I spent two years in school doin’ mathematics and I’ve forgotten it all, despite all the practice. Well it’s only fair you can care about numbers but numbers don’t care.
