Stumbling [inaudible mumbles] yourself a lie
Hope to god it's true when you die
Fool yourself convinced it's just a lie
Hope to god it's true when you die
If there's no bottom to your eyes
They hold more
Walk the streets with rocks in your shoes
Who's to win when we can only lose
Prove yourself with rocks in your shoes
Who's to win when we can only lose
If there's no bottom to your eyes
They hold more
Hope to god it's true when you die
Hope to god
If there's no bottom to your eyes
They hold more

It was a lovely day at a little past three
When Gerald A. Crawford was staring at me
I him in my pocket and I took him home
And then I knew I would never be alone
Gerald A. Crawford you are a mystery
Gerald A. Crawford what's in store for me
Gerald A. Crawford are you my friend
Gerald A. Crawford beginning or end
I showed my mother this new fate-sealer
She said "he could be a killer or a drug dealer"
I said "but hey mom he's got a cordless phone
And then I knew I would never be alone
Gerald A. Crawford...

A scream in the park
Children on swings
I have a friend
Who says he has wings
And he says he will leave this town
And he says nothing brings him down
A slap on the face
The pain always stings
I have a friend
Who says he has wings
And he says nothing brings him down
And he says he will leave this town
I set you free, fly away
Just leave me be, fly away
Why can't you see, fly away
You can't hurt me, fly away

Sunday afternoon and it's in my head
That I wouldn't really be that much better dead
There's some things you can't see with your eyes
I said as I saw you smiling through your lies
Oh, I really think it's time to go
I'm leaving
I hope that you enjoyed the show
Goodbye
You said to me that it wasn't fair
But you're only out to use me so how can I care
There's some things you can't see with your eyes
I said as I saw you smiling through your lies
Oh, I really think it's time to go...
Knee deep in guilt, so to make amends
It's the oldest line in the book:
I hope we can still be friends
HA!
There's some things you can't see with your eyes
I said as I saw you smiling through your lies
Oh, I really think it's time to go...

I'll tell you what you want to hear
If you are far or to keep you near
I dislike people who dislike me
So I'll be whatever you want me to be
Cause I'm a people pleaser
A leech feeding off your mind
I hope I pleased you
Cause I'd die to be your kind
You can rest assured for a month or two
[inaudible mumbles] someone better than you
Love means nothing in a world gone cold
So I'm pleasing people until I'm old
Cause I'm a people pleaser...
I am not impressed
I am not impressed
Tim is not impressed
Are you guys impressed

You're a little doll sitting on the shelf
You fall to the ground and cry for help
There's nothing I can do for you
Cause I am just a little doll too
The people here are very tall
But they don't catch us when we fall
Someone comes in through the door
They see us broken on the floor
Leave something there for me
Your stuffing's gone, my body broke
The people here just sit and smoke
It's to the dump with you, my friend
Is this an all too fitting end

Have you ever seen a shooting star
Wish for luck before it dies
Will you find out who you are
Before you close your tired eyes
I run to meet you
But I will never know your name

Cracked open and left to die
The ground is dirty but you can't get up
I think you have a problem
Horses, men, and kings can't figure you out
I think you have a problem
Cracked open and left to die
The ground's still dirty but you can't get up
I think you have a problem
Horses, and kings can't figure you out
You sure have a problem
Cracked open and left to die

I sat down beside you
And I tried to talk
But you just sat there
Looking like a statue
I asked you a question
And I looked in your eyes (they were pretty)
But you just sat there
Looking like a statue
One of these days
Sit down beside me
And try to talk
And I'll just sit here
Looking like a statue
One of these days

Marc, there's a song on your album.
It's the shortest song in there, but it gives me such strength. The words came at me like cryptic messages, a few days ago when I really needed help to go on. I needed a sign that all we know is true, for at times we all wonder if we're just not totally made. The song's "Life's a Gas". I had just thrown a whole group of people out of my life. They hadn't learned, and they were draining me. I hated to get rid of them, but I knew I had to, and it would be all right but I was very down. I was very down.
One hour later I put on your record and heard, "It doesn't really matter at all, no it doesn't really matter at all, life's a gas,"
...and I felt my strength returning. Was I right? Marc's eyes lit up and the magic poured through with its blinding brilliance. "But of course! That's what the whole song's about! It doesn't matter at all. You must not let things matter. Things happen for a reason, and we can make them happen. We can make them happen."
"There is nothing about my career that is an accident."
We looked at each other and the understanding was total.
The understanding was total.
"It doesn't really matter at all, no it doesn't really matter at all, life's a gas..."
