every celebrity is dead
until they do something new
til we remember them
and they can live again
marilyn hairpin rock 'n roll gotta go
ringo starr terrapin over before you know it
so we will show it
over and over again
all my heroes burned
cauterized with black
and if they grow back up again
we'll let them back in
mike stipe nice night white soul gotta go
johnny marr's fast car was stolen
so we will roll it
over for him...
all my favourites died
before i could see them live...

you want to let it come if you can
don't worry about that
anything dressed like that can't hurt you bad
the captain's on the ground
and listening, and the sounds
of water rushing in
do you think he knows
has anyone thought to tell him so
that there are worse things here than ghosts
when you're alone
you know sights be deceiving
somebody tell the upper deck we're leaving
who's steering this ship
who's that listening, letting it slip that they're listening in
do you think he knows we know
no one's ever told him no
all the bones in overcoats in his home
i don't know
we'll back out now
we might black out now
please don't assume the worst
just because it isn't happening doesn't mean it doesn't hurt
and the captain's dead cuz he hit his head
sights can be deceiving
somebody tell the upper deck we're leaving

Accidents in Spades

i seem to make
accidents in spades
maybe that's my greatest skill
but i won't talk ill
each mistake i make is living still
if i'm not ashamed enough i'll foot the bill
i won't speak ill
i'll shake you awake
and we can go make
accidents in spades
our greatest skill
and we may never be great
but it's no mistake
to make accidents in spades
til we get our fill
and drive away

Even at Parties!
02:32

your office chair is hitched to your ass
presenting your mass
even at parties
you laugh too loud
and you get your gun out
even at parties
you last too long
you try to be strong
even at parties
you drink it all up
having poisoned your own cup
even at parties
you try not to shout
get lost in the crowd
even at parties
you try not to dance
to the breaking glass
this is your last chance
but you won't dance
even at parties!
and we play
on the grass
and we're having a blast
and we play
in the grass
and we're having such a blast
even at parties!
