ARROW

By Reeves Gabrels

You ask me why
And I don't know
You want to see
But I won't show
You do me when
But there's notime
You wonder if
I've lost my mind
I shot an arrow in the air
And when it landed, I knew where
It made a spark that burned too bright
Good-bye my love, sweet dreams, good night.

You want to sleep
But I need to play
You want to talk
But I can't say
You do me when
I'll try to find
You show me yours
But Iım hiding mine
I shot an arrow in the air
And when it landed, I knew where
It made a spark that burned too bright
Good-bye my love, sweet dreams, good night.

I shot an arrow in the air
And when it landed, I knew where
It made a spark that burned too bright
Good-bye my love, sweet dreams.
I shot an arrow in the air
And when it landed, I knew where
It made a spark that burned too bright
Good-bye my love, sweet dreams, good night.
Good night.

(Rode the muse, shake it girl.)


LINES

By Reeves Gabrels

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Who put the lines there
Who put the face to the memory
Who put the lines there
Who put the face to the memory

When I close my eye
It's like the bath between me and the sun

He put those lines there
He taught the face that memory
He put those lines there
He taught that face that memory

When you close your eye
Do you realize
When you close your eye
Like a bath between you and the sun

That memory
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

I put the lines there
I took that face, that memory
I put those lines there
I took that face, that memory

When I close my eyes
I realize
When I close my eyes
It's like a bath between me and the sun

I took that face, that memory

When I close my eyes
It's like a bath between me and the sun

I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
I took that face, that memory
That memory.


13 YEARS

By Reeves Gabrels

Black crow flies cross my path
Black cat leads me on
I walk on (under?) ladders
Thirteen years to home

A black crow flies cross my path
The black cat leads me on
I walk on (under?) ladders
Thirteen years to home


JEWEL

By Reeves Gabrels, David Bowie, Frank Black and Mark Plati

(Grohl, Bowie backup)
I'm leaving my heart, a boy's heart
I'm leaving it far behind
I'm going for mine, I'm painting my lips
Yeah, I'm getting my shoes shined
I'm leaving my heart, my bleeding heart
My shiny shoes, my rosy cheeks
I cut out my heart, I open the door
I'm so happy without my heart
(Black) Now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
Without my heart
(Black) I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
(Black) I'm the king of cruelty

(Bowie)
I believe my face, a girl's face
I believe my face is one of a kind
I point the stars and roll my eyes
They poison my young mind
Believe my face, the charming face
My poison eyes, believe my eyes
I roll up my sleeves, I rock on my heels
But I'm nothing without my face
(Black) And now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
I'm lonely without my face
(Black) I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
I'm nothing without my face
(Black) But now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
(Black) I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
(Black) I'm the king of cruelty
(Black) I'm the king of cruelty

(La La La backup vocals)
(Black)
And now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
And now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
And now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
(Black, down an octave)
I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
And now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
And now I'm screaming "Oh my jewel" so happily
I am a man and I am cruel, I'm the king of cruelty
Now I'm screaming
I am a man, I am
Now I'm screaming -- LA! LA!
Now I'm screaming


ACCIDENT

By Reeves Gabrels

He's got the house and the garden
And the view from the hill
He's got things he's always wanted
He swallowed the sweetest of pills
He looks at the future and worries
It's such a perfect plan
It's a very easy incision
For he's such a nice quiet man

It's an accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting

He sits by the window and wonders
And the view feels like hell
He's got things he's never wanted
He's choked by the bitterest pill

It's an accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting

It's an accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting to happen
An accident waiting
An accident waiting

Accident waiting, accident waiting


STANDING

By Reeves Gabrels

I was lying when I should have been standing
I was standing when I could have walked away
I was walking when I should have been running
And I ran hard but I couldn't get away

If I really knew you, would you keep on running me round
If I really knew you, would you make feel like your clown
If I really knew you, would you keep on dragging me down
What if I knew you, would you walk away homeward bound?

I was lying when I should have been standing
I was standing when I could have walked away
I was walking when I should have been running
And I ran hard but I couldn't get away

If you really knew me, would I give up all that I found
If you really knew me, would you grind my face in the ground
If you really knew me, I'd wait for you to turn around
If you really knew me, would I catch that train eastward-bound

I was lying when I should have been standing
I was standing when I could have walked away
I was walking when I should have been running
And I ran hard but I couldn't get away

I was lying when I should have been standing
I was standing when I could have walked away
I was walking when I should have been running
And I ran hard but I couldn't get away
And I ran hard but I couldn't get away
Keep on running around
Couldn't get away
Keep on running around
Couldn't get away
Keep on running around
Couldn't get away


PARTY PUPPET

By Reeves Gabrels

You walk into the room and everybody knows ya
And all they wanna know, how does your garden grow dear?
Does it bear fruit or does it lay fallow?
Lies get exchanged and the truth is hollow
Well anyone with half a heart wouldn't even start.
You're just a party puppet
Just a party puppet

Living in fear, slaving to desire
Sleeping through life, strung out and wired
Well anyone with half a heart wouldn't even start
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet

Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
Just a party puppet
