Ice Patrol
From: Take You Apart, 2003
I’m on ice patrol / I’m looking out for ways we could be crushed / I fly above the secret sea checking out what we can’t trust / controlling my balance isn’t instinctual I must remember to really try / I feel if I move I’ll fall like I’ve been shaken loose inside / trying to remember a dream that died / the moment I awake I’m watching it dissolve a split second at a time / here’s my paper back I wrote my name but then I changed my mind / I want to go where there are no dreams / where there are no dreams / by the water’s edge we watch the icebergs flow / they can kill us in a blink although they move so slow / we tried to shoot them up and bomb them / we painted them black / they didn’t break or melt or even acknowledge our attack / by the water’s edge we watch the icebergs flow / they can kill us in a blink / we tried to shoot them we painted them black / they did not acknowledge our attack / the biggest things move slowly you don’t notice them arrive / they’ll dispatch some danger and they’ll sail on by / on patrol there’s too much to know I’ve got too little to lose / I want to know where there are no dreams / I want to go where there are no dreams / where there are no dreams
Bunny
From: Take You Apart, 2003
Last night I let myself out in the cold / can’t go back I’m breaking parole / ‘cos I made up a story with some words that I stole / I’m gonna find a chemical to take you apart / I wanna find a way I can appeal to your heart / listen while I dig myself into a hole / got no money now / couldn’t make the bail / just woke up and I’m living in a jail / ain’t so funny now / now you’re on my trail / I’m a little bunny and you’ve got me by the tail / can’t relax cos it’ll be trouble / can’t retract cos I know it’ll be double / I’m just trying to make a living by doing what I’m told / and you can make a killing making love to the world / I heard they made a gun in the shape of a girl / I’m trying to buy something that ain’t being sold / got no money now / couldn’t make the bail / just woke up and I’m living in a jail / ain’t so funny now / now you’re on my trail / I’m a little bunny and you’ve got me by the tail / I’m a little bunny and you’ve got me by the tail / I’m a little bunny and you’ve got me by the tail

Alone In A Crowd
From: Pop Guilt, 2017
You surround yourself with people / And I know everyone / We’re alone in a crowd / And you know everyone / I know everyone has secrets / But I won’t ever tell / That I’m alone in a crowd / And you know everyone / I don’t care what people are thinking / And I won’t ever say / You’re alone in a crowd / No one’s business anyway / We surround ourselves with secrets / And I told every one / And you won’t ever tell / ‘Cause we know everyone / I don’t care what people are saying / And I won’t ever tell / That I’m alone in a crowd / And you know everyone
All Over It Again
From: Pop Guilt, 2017
You fall behind, I didn’t know / In a different mind, just goes to show / I couldn’t follow, got left behind / So hard to swallow or to define / I toed the line, you wouldn’t know / It was all a lie, just didn’t show / You were trying, wouldn’t let it go / Push against me when I go too slow / And it’s over, all over it again / Going over everything again / When it’s over we’ll go over it again / Going over everything again / We decide to go over it again / We forget to get over it again / We forget to go over it again / We forget to go over it again
Karen Trust Me
From: Pop Guilt, 2017
I skipped a beating down on the floor / Still ended up feeling kinda sore / My heart was beating two to four / I stitched my mouth up to be sure / I met the current, I felt the flow / Come let it take me where it would go / This dump is fairly kicking / Come watch me playing dead / Can’t spell my name but I’ve got soul feeling / Down past the bike track I’ll play my part / Got a propane brain and a sciatic heart / Karen trust me, I’ll play my part / Got a propane brain and a sciatic heart / Got an hour of sunlight with my name on it / If it’d be fun I might take the blame for it / My heart was beating two to four / I couldn’t say much with a broken jaw / Down past the bike track I’ll play my part / Got a propane brain and a sciatic heart / Karen trust me, I’ll play my part / Got a propane brain and a sciatic heart
