Sliver (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
I've finally gone and washed away the stains. The wound that you left in my back has kept you entertained. The
broken glass still lies upon the floor. You're making this too hard for me to care.
This is how it's going to be until the day we die. I can't take back the things I said, but why would
I lie.
Once this was everything, and I won't apologize. I know just what you said but, why would I lie
or would I?
And I'll still feel the same until you go away. And I'll still feel the same until you go away.
I still recall most every word I've said. And still you make the notion like you have been misled.
I still remember what you used to be. You're making it so hard that I can't care.
This is how it's going to be until the day we die. I can't take back the things I said but, why would
I lie.
Once this was everything, and I won't apologize. I know just what you said but, why would I lie
or would I?
And I'll still feel the same until you go away. And I'll still feel the same until you go away.
You always said....You always meant....You said you'd never leave me. You always said
you'd love me.
All of this just seems like such a waste. It's a slowly moving picture show just in a different place.
Now it's not so hard and I don't care. Why would I lie?
This is how it's going to be. This is how it's going to be.
Fall Down (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
Fall down and play dead this time. Fall down and don't whine.
No, this is not your perfect circle.
Fall down and play dead this time.
Lie still, your burdened hands. Lie still my soul.
No, this could never be your moment.
Lie still and play dead this time.
Into the water.
Fall down and play dead this time. Lie still and don't whine.
No I am not your perfect person.
Fall down and play dead this time.
Into the water.... I'm afraid my soul won't take everything in.

Digging Down Deeper (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
I'm your voice, I'm your brain. I'm shaking and twisting. I'm your gorge, I'm your drain. I'm
digging down deeper.
And I don't feel so bad, we've got so much to learn. And I don't feel so bad as you watch me turn.
You make it worse. Yeah you make it worse when you make me bleed.
And I know you make it worse. Yeah you make it worse when you try to leave.
I'm your whore, I'm your pain. I'm shaping you quickly. I'm your god, I'm your vein. I'm
digging down deeper.
And I won't feel so bad, as I watch you learn. And I don't feel so bad as I start to turn.
Let's just not panic please, or act hysterically...things are just fine. To overreact is a serious crime
indeed
You're just imagining. You've understandably stepped out of your mind. To overreact is a
serious
crime indeed.
I'm your choice, I'm your train turning and turning. I'm your soul, I'm your sane. I'm digging
down deeper.
And I don't feel so bad as you start to burn. And I wont feel so bad. Catch me I'm turning.
You make it worse. Yeah you make it worse, how we've come so far.
And I know, you make it worse. Yeah you make it worse. This is what we are.
I'm your whore, I'm your pain....a radiant being. Now watch me turn.
I'm your sore, I'm your stain...a transient plaything. Now watch me turn.

And the Stars They Might Be Shining....
(music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
You're a girl who's never felt the touch of a man. Or a simple smile, by choosing left of a sleight of
hand. To a woman who needs a silent kiss, a desperate wish. One who feels some apprehension when
it's time to leave.
But you'll go and you know want more or so.
But please know it's what you came here for.
So don't wait, and act like you don't know what it's for.
Lay down and just let yourself go, and give yourself more.
And I feel that the stars they might be shining. And I feel, and the feel is oh
so cold. And I feel that the stars they might be shining. And I feel, yes I feel so bold.
Woman, you need a soft place to land. Or a home likewise, where he can keep you all tucked away.
Are you woman who doesn't see the need for a man. Well don't let that stand in your way.
I know you weren't prepared to go
I know you want to take things slow.
But you'll go and you know you want more or so.
But please know, it's the pain you're here for.
So don't wait, and act like you don't know what it's for.
Lay down and just let yourself go, give yourself more.
Pure and Simple (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
Trouble seems to follow you, for when you come around I fall to pieces.
Wisdom says to take it slow. You never let it show you fall to pieces.
The bottom of the world is cold, but it it'd ever thaw would you believe it.
One might lose a day or two in proving that it's true, when it's completed.
And if you breakdown baby I'll be there to catch you when you fall.
And if you breakdown baby I'll be there to capture all the pieces of your pure and simple life.
Random thoughts my random mind. If I fall behind would you still leave me?
The deepest cut is most unkind, and in this state of mind there's just no reason.
If everything would equal out, when we measure up I'm still uneven.
It's a silent day, and yet I'm wasting away but you don't see it.
And innocent bleak obsession, a moment that escapes us one and all.
My beautiful sweet depression, a contemplation if there's more to life, or is what we have just all.
I could dream all day.
Life is hell and then you die, but here I am alive, unwell, and breathing.
I'll take the time and face my lies. Just look me in the eyes and say you need me.
I'm unprepared for their smiles. Their vacant words come falling down in pieces.
I wish that I could let this go, but wouldn't you just know I fall to pieces.
And when it's breaking baby, I'll be there to keep your thoughts inside.
And when you're broken baby, I'll be there to pick up all the pieces of your pure and simple life
From your pure and simple lies. To a pure and simple mind.
I can dream all day..

Long Kiss Goodbye (music: Golden/ Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
I've been blind.
Tell me what you're thinking, as it's all your point of view.
Tell me how you can deal to keep me away from you.
So show me what is real. Now what can you do to set me free?
My life's less than ordinary. I'm feeling insecure.
Tell me what to say. Can you make this clear of what this means to me?
My life's less than ordinary. I'm feeling insincere.
Tell me what I'm feeling when it comes to telling truths.
I'm easily persuaded by the precious things you do.
You're one kiss away from through.
And how are we to feel, happy?
My life's less than ordinary. I'm feeling insecure.
So tell me what to say. Can you make this clear of what this means to me?
My life's less than ordinary. I'm feeling insincere.
I've been blind.
I know what love is but never believed it. It's only a feeling to hug and to squeeze it.
It beats you until battered, until nothing else matters. And deep down you're shattered.; say
nothing of dreaming.
If this is the moment, then let it be over. I'm only waiting for something to convert.
A wish for the dieing. An effort in trying. And deep in the lying we wait for our long kiss goodbye.
For Those of You Who Love Me (You Can Take the Train)
(music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
For those of you who've tried from far away, I'm here. I am open wide. And I'll
apologize for I, and all the
times I've lived. It's time that we decide it all ends here.
And I remember faith, how we were raised to the point of breaking; blinded by the
rays. I believed the lies, so I
couldn't criticize. Beneath my alibis, I'm so ashamed.
So to those of you who love me, you can take the train. And to those of you who care who
are somewhere in between.
Bring down the curtains to make room for all the times we've sinned and we'll start
again.
And I remember love and what it'd be. Something of an imprint, but more just like a
dream. Even over time I am
still as cold. But now I'm all grown up, but not grown old.
So to those of you who love me. And to those of you who give a damn. I'll be here
waiting. I'm tired of being on my own.
So please come home.
For those of your who've tried from far away. I'm here. I am open wide. And I'll
apologize for I and all the
times I've lied. It's time that we decide. It all ends here.
Springtime in Paris (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
Springtime in Paris you'll own me with summer upon me in satins and blues.
I'll be the one in the fountain, or behind the door screen. I will stay true.
And no matter where we are I will follow that star so bring it back home to me
because Caroline's asleep.
Through 4 sleepless hours and dreams about rainstorms and showers I can only appease.
So it's night time, won't you hold me and listen to me so I can just cry.
I'll be lying beside you in satins and blues. I won't ask why.
And if you let me sleep in, I will get up with Sam. So bring it back home to me...did you lock the
front door?
So if you let me sleep in, I will get up with Sam. So bring it back home to me because Caroline's
asleep.

So Tired (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
I'm so tired, tired of looking for a reason. I've followed so close and I've
got nothing to believe in.
I got so damn high I slept in spite of all the scenery. I'm so wired and
I've got no more.
I feel., I see that being lonely is just a part of me.
I feel, I see I'm not half the man I used to be. Keep your head up.
I'm so tired that I'm just searching or just settling. I'm not fresh up off
the city bus, but I've got no choice.
Been so tied up I'm still looking for an opening. I'm so wired, but I've
got no more.
I feel, I see that I'm lonely just in spite of me.
I feel, I see I'm not half the man I used to be. Keep your head up.
I feel, I see that I'm lonely just in spite of me.
I feel, I see I'm not half the man I used to be. Keep your head up.

Point of Life (music: Golden/Ogden lyrics: Ogden)
Words fall out of the soul and in it rolls like thunder.
Wide open door, it's a feeling be it.
Be careful, raise the home to hold the roof I'm under.
What you ask for, it's a ceiling feel it.
It's brighter, look at it fast before it puts you under.
On the bright side, and know it's good to be here.
We'll try, here's the heart of a jealous lover.
For the last ride, it's the need to release.
Never been on the ebb and flow of water, never been known to try and be a better man
though I'm doing what I can.
Never was asked to be the Holy Father, never been one to have the chains around my
hands.
Think twice, I don't know if I can make it easy.
About the last time, with all these queasy feelings.
How high, lost in the turn before the intersection.
Were we this time, and now the wheels are turning.
God I, on my knees and down before my Father.
Got my eyes wide, and I can see Him, feel Him.
We'll try, I won't see you in the place you're leaving
It's a free ride, it's just a need to release.
Never been told to go against the Author, never been told to come and save you when you
drown, and by the looks of this town.
It's an adequate tone that I can speak so often. I've never one to try and raise you with my
hands.
So be careful what you ask for....you never know what you might find.
So make a point about your life.
Just believe that I can make it happen, just believe I can make it all work out without a
doubt
Just you know I can make it happen, just you know I've got my fingers on the strings.....
So watch the world implode. Be careful what you ask for, you never know what you might
find. It's time to make a point about your life......
