"Baby you're a lie..."
"You're not really here."
"You've gone away..."
-- Seven Mary Three
And if I stay lucky then my tongue
Will stay tied, and I won't betray
The things that I hide.
There's not enough years underneath
This belt, for me to admit the way
That I felt.
-- Seven Mary Three
Mean mr. mustard says don't be
The wave that crashes
From a sea of discontent, he says
He's wrestled with that blanket...
It leaves you cold and wet
Any way you stretch it
Divine apathy! disease of my youth
Watch that you don't catch it.
-- Seven Mary Three
I rolled a number last night and I walked in my sleep.
I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth.
As they crumbled into dust and washed into the sea.
Finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself think.
It only gets to me in times like these.
It only gets to me in times like these.
It only gets to me in times like these.
And times like these are getting to me.
-- Seven Mary Three
When you gonna' make up your mind?
When you gonna' make up your mind?
When you gonna' make up your mind?
Because you know that I have made up mine.
-- Seven Mary Three
Yeah the roads are right tonite
they are twisting
My mouth is dry - like cool air inside
And maybe I worry
do things in a hurry
and follow the dust
of people like new
There's people like me
and there's people like you
Yeah the roads are right tonite
they are turning
I know that deep inside the pines
an answer is lurking
And maybe I worry
do things in a hurry
and follow the dust
of people like new
There's people like me
and there's people like new.
-- Seven Mary Three
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
starin' at a man, Looking down a line
what's he say? 'Not my style'
Just a stylized version of an obsolete file
-- Seven Mary Three
It will be hard, but I know I'm all right,
because the needle can't burn
what the needle can't find
And the money won't save what the money can't buy
-- Seven Mary Three
They'll buy your butterflies
and price them down
to clean the racks
Until a kid like you
can buy them back
-- Seven Mary Three
I want no part of your blackheart causes.
All this preaching and still no progress.
-- Seven Mary Three
I want no part of your blackheart causes
empty speeches
broken promise
-- Seven Mary Three
I've made the most of Luck.
You get a brand new chance
in a brand new town.
And if I don't read what they wrote about me,
I might turn you on to something I've found:
Silence. Priceless. Silence.
The only way we talk.
-- Seven Mary Three
What if people get everything they expect?
What becomes of hope?
I'll bet she's a nervous wreck.
What's the genius in a cushion on your couch?
You better find yourself something that drags you
out.
-- Seven Mary Three
Play me like a player piano
roll me from the corners
of your dark and dusty shadows
Like a player piano,
I sit useless
most of the time
-- Seven Mary Three
Do you think that people get tired of themselves?
Is that why the T.V.'s on all the time?
-- Seven Mary Three
It don't take much to get it right back on track,
but it won't fall from the sky right into your lap.
-- Seven Mary Three
Silence. Priceless. Silence.
The only way we talk.
-- Seven Mary Three
What if people get everything they expect?

What's the genius in a cushion on your couch?

-- Seven Mary Three
And if I don't hear what they whisper about me,
I might turn you on to something I've found:
Silence. Priceless. Silence.
The only way we talk.
