And I was SO excited when you got right back to me, but you know what?? You know what it was?)

Spell It Out 02:11
Come on, come on, come on, come on I know you you know what's going on I know you know I know what you see through... Do I have to spell it out for you? Well, to B-E S-P-E-C-I-F-I-C, you see me through those D-A-Ngerous E-Y-E-S Y-E-S Y-E-S Y-E-S O-O-O Come on, come on, come on, come on I know you you know what's going on I know you know I know what we could do: Do I have to spell it out for you? Well, to B-E S-P-E-C-I-F-I-C, you see me through those D-A-Ngerous E-Y-E-S Y-E-S Y-E-S Y-E-S O-O-O Come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on Do I have to spell it out for you?

I can hear you pacing out in the hallway I can hear you breathing under my skin I can hear your heart beating outside the window I can feel you knowing when to begin And there's not a sound in this world that you've ever heard before like this Take us with you! Take us with you when you go! I can see you rising up above the water I can feel your eyes all over my skin I can feel my heart breaking in half a second I can feel it starting over again And there's not a sound in this world that you've ever heard before like this Take us with you! Take us with you when you go! When you go When you go When you go home When you go home, there's a reason There's an intricacy that probably will be in season What you find out when you go home: there's a complexity that ceases to be When you go When you go home When you go home When you go home Take us with you! Take us with you when you go!

Lay out the pattern for me Turn the key and loose the lock Swing the door and then be shocked as it knocks you on the floor Sprinting past you- thick and fast you are lying on the floor I've got a list to give you of things that aren't gonna go too easily and it goes: 1. This moment 2. The next moment 3. The memory of you in items 1 and 2 Lay out the pattern for me Look at me and shut your mouth Flocks of birds are flying South as things begin to freeze Looking down they see you and they say, I've got a list to give you of things that aren't gonna go too easily and it goes: 1. This moment 2. The next moment 3. The memory of you in items 1 and 2

Conformists and Bureaucrats: they will not help you here- The systems that go like that: they are the picture of irrelevance here And you think that you know, but do you really know- How Real You Are how rare is the light How near can the sun really be on a night like tonight? How Real You Are how rare is the light How real can someone really be on a night like tonight? This night is a driver (you're making references) Who looks at you in the rearview mirror (to everything you've ever seen) Hello. Where we heading? (where we gonna sleep tonight?) "Hello?" How Real You Are

Whoa whoa whoa Do you know What's happening to me? Don't you say that it's as bad as it could be- Can't you see I'm IMPLODING like a STAR in here with a sad and lonely and disintegrating soul Whoa whoa whoa Do you know What's happening to you? Don't you say that there is nothing you can do- Can't you see we're EXPLODING into the STRATOSPHERE to what orbits above the places everybody knows What's happening, what's happening to me? I'm alone in a crowded room with a magazine What's happening, what's happening to me? I'm outside myself and everything looks empty. (I'm ashamed to say: I was complicit entirely in the simple way it became a commodity.. and all of the oddities that followed, and all of the bullshit that we swallowed: WE ARE A PART OF IT) Drop your pen accidentally on the floor. When you bend to pick it up, you'll see me standing by the door Close your eyes, Try to pretend That none of this None of this will end What's happening, what's happening to me? I'm alone in a crowded room and it's deafening me What's happening, what's happening to me? I'm outside myself and looking at a shell and it's empty.

Take it down three notches and that's probably where we are. Get your head up off the bar and take notice I know you can't breathe the air down here without a filter of some kind And you had all of us in mind at this moment Give give give Give us a Break break break 'Cause we can't Take take take What you're spewing out, spewing out. Get your Face face face out of my Face Face Face What rhymes with FACE FACE FACE? (there's no trace of a space in this place for your stupid face) Picking your teeth in your white mercedes - Your mouth says no but your eye says maybe Once a quandry, Twice a lady, Three times in this type of shady- OH YEAH! (I've been trying to say) OH YEAH! RECKLESS PERSON OH YEAH!
