Anne 02:02
Anne! I won’t pretend that I don’t know This masquerade this pin-up show Always falling off the stage Held up by a safety pin Looking in there at things spin She’s just a little girl, With worn out shoes and paper dolls. And now she’s made one just for you, And it’s the bestest one of all She has a dress all made of blue that she will wear when it is Fall. Look at her open eyes, They catch ahold upon your mind You know it must still all be there Even when you are all alone. Chorus- As Anne walks up the stairs into the other room, As Anne walks up to the ceiling. Now she has made one just for you And it’s the bestest one of all She has a dress all made of blue That she will wear when it is Fall. Now she is sitting in your room Manifestation of your past The floor is covered with her trash And tiny pieces of her face. Chorus As Anne walks up the stair into the other room As Anne walks up to the ceiling A darkened spell cast by her house Obstructions of black wood and stone You know it must still all be there Even when you are all alone. As Anne walks up the stairs into the other room As Anne walks up to the ceiling

He Was Not There Oh the man in town oh you know you know he’s not around. He was not found, he was nowhere to be found Lost underground, beneath the concrete and sound Chorus- A catcall echoes unto the silent air. A shadow flickers along the wall. He took a train, he was so tired of this world, and he was scared of what he saw In their eyes, it’s what he feared, an absence of reasoning, it made him run. Chorus And then one night, at 3 O clock in the morn She heard her name, outside in back of the house, but he was gone, she heard a car pull away, no one was there. Chorus

Ethereal Song (Thunder Perfect) A thousand years ago there lived a woman Dark and strong she did come from within I am the one whom they call life I am the one whom you have seized I am the sound of the name of the speech which you cannot hear I am the one from whom you’ve hidden Wherever you may hide I will appear I am the one whom you have scattered Wherever you may hide I will appear I am the sound of the name of the speech which you cannot hear. Take me to yourselves from understanding and grief And take me to yourself from places ugly and in ruin Wherever you may hide I will appear An you’ll see me there and you’ll never die again, mmmmm

Friendly Gun 02:31
The Friendly Gun The rain is dripping from my hair The air it feels like it could crack I can feel it frozen still In the place that I stand A man comes out of dark looking oh so scared My hands still are shaking Chorus- Dry eyes can’t see, cold hearts can’t care, a cold hand can hold a friendly gun, a friendly gun. The lights the noises crashed the sirens flashed so bright, Twas him against the world, His only friend was his friendly gun, friendly gun, Which he held in his shaking hand Chorus
