Hey visitor!

Lyrics to "Alien-American" by Tequila Mockingbird (2004)

Again (3:38) so what do you think it means the weather’s changed  and how is your head well it’s prearranged and  what are your thoughts on the politics around here  well shit the optimism just fades too fast  and i’m the first in line still you toss me back  and i think it’s getting way too crowded in your head for me  but what do think it takes to say goodbye  when all i really gotta do  is open up my eyes  i’m falling again  so what do you think it means  that nothings changed  and all the furniture has been rearranged  and what are your thoughts on the spatiality  damn this pessimism just stays around  and if i am up then you kick me down  and i think it’s getting too crowded in your room for me  but what do think it takes to say goodbye  when all i really gotta do  is open up my eyes  i’m falling again  so when’d it go to hell and everything change  because nothing here’s ever felt so strange and what are your thoughts on the bygones forsaken around here  damn this optimism just was almost gone but still you come around and baby it’s never for long  and it’s getting way too empty in your world for me  but what do think it takes to say goodbye  when all i really gotta do  is open up my eyes  i’m falling again 

Cashed (2:45) it’s exactly like i imagined  you never tell me what i want to hear  it’s exactly like i thought it would be  trapped inside my mind with all these things i fear  beyond the mountains and the techno  without the everybody ever known  at last you realized but far too late  someone took your brain and turned your heart to stone  ‘cause i can’t get in to anything  i can’t see out of this end i’m in and i end up where i’m supposed to begin  the line i walk is far too thin  i want to be your anti-hero  never do you right but always true  i want to be your less than zero  i want to know what you think about you and me and me and you  ‘cause i can’t get into anything  i can’t see out of this end i’m in  and i end up where i’m supposed to begin  the line i walk is far too thin 

UFO Intro (:23)

UFO (4:24) you always seemed light years away  but i didn’t think that you would really leave that day  this solar system has its ups and its downs  and life on venus ain’t as cool as it sounds  i can see clearly most of the time  but honestly i swear i never saw the signs  didn’t believe me when i said things could be worse  than to be stuck here in this universe  you said goodbye and then you headed for the hills  you sold my car and stranded me with all the bills  you left me for a ufo  why’d you have to go  i sit alone and stare at your moon rocks and cry  can’t bear to watch star trek ‘cause it makes me wonder why i’m gonna build a rocket i’m gonna hope that it will fly  maybe someday i’ll see you again in the stars above the sky  gonna save my money and buy a radio tracking station  gonna try my luck at newton’s law of gravitation  you left me for a ufo  why’d you have to go  you said goodbye and then you headed for the hills  you stole my car and stranded me your all the bills  you left me for a ufo  why’d you have to go  you said goodbye and then you headed for the hills  you stole my car and stranded me with all your bills  you left me for a ufo  why’d you have to go 

The Honeymoon (3:29) the honeymoon’s not the same without you  but i’m remaining optimistic  my love just ain’t the same without you  but i probably won’t be coming home it’s true  but it’s alright  yeah it’s alright  never could write a love song about you  without it sounding too sarcastic  used to think the world about you but my universe is so elastic  but it’s alright  yeah it’s alright  the sun-bleached sand where we used to stay  i want to move so far away  we would dwell here  most each and every day  i want to move so far away  those vacations we would take without you  i once believed were so fantastic  thought i touched the heart inside you  found that it was made of plastic  but it’s alright yeah it’s alright the sun-bleached sand where we used to stay  i want to move so far away  we would dwell here  almost each and every day  i want to move so far away  it’s not a pretty picture  but i needed to get a shot  i tried to write our story  without a broken plot  the honeymoon’s not the same without you  but i’m remaining optimistic  my love just ain’t the same without you  but i probably won’t be coming home it’s true  but it’s alright yeah it’s alright  the sun-bleached sand where we used to stay  i want to move so far away  we would dwell here  most each and every day  i want to move so far away  so far away so far away so far away 

Sometimes I Think (3:00) well i took the clock i took the lamp i took the fertilizer  i locked the doors i poured the gas i lit the match  i took the oath i bowed my head i breathed the fumes  but you took my car you headed west and you were gone  well freedom rang through my ears and choked back acidic tears  i tossed away the hopes and the money and the years  i was reborn i went to church i sought a rock where i could perch  i was gonna get it if it didn’t beat me to it first  i spiked the punch i punched my glass i blew a 3.0  i locked the doors i hit the gas i ran that light  i slept in jail i called for bail then i got out but you took my car you headed south and you were gone  so now i’m growing up and getting older  and sometimes they say i’ve gotten colder  around here i’m an anti-contender  and i live near the park in a four-plex in uptown denver  well sometimes i bleed from too much drinkin’  and sometimes i have just too much fun  and sometimes i think about you baby  if sometimes into you i’ll ever run… 

Catching On (the stupid song) (5:36) well i’m finally catching on  yeah i’m beginning to apprehend  and i’m seeing it all so crystal clear  that this surely ain’t no means to no end  and i’m pulling out all the stops  and i’m shaking here in the absolved  and i’m dismayed at the failure i am  it seems my car ain’t the only thing that’s stalled  you’re so stupid how you could have been so dumb  i was wondering that myself  you’re so stupid how you could have been so wrong  i was wondering that  i was wondering that myself  well i’m figuring the “what went bad”  and i’m reckoning the reasons why  because i’m sure that it can’t be me  as i know i stand much bigger than my size  sometimes i notice i’m way off the target  occasionally i see i’m stuck in the trough  whatever the matter i’m keen to the coolness  so all you had to do was tell me to back off  you’re so stupid how you could have been so wrong i was wondering that myself  you’re so stupid  how you could have been so dumb  i was wondering that  i was wondering that myself  well i’m finally catching on  yeah i’m beginning to apprehend  and i’m seeing it all so crystal clear  that this surely ain’t no means to no end  you’re so stupid how you could have been so dumb  i was wondering that myself  i’m so stupid how’ve  i could have been so wrong  i was wondering that  i was wondering that myself

Dysfunktional (2:41) i felt kind of jaded today when i called out your name and you looked the other way  i guess i should have known by the padlock on your door and your disconnected phone  you said you want me dead ‘cause i keep messing with your head  why can’t you see my sympathy you’re even crazier than me  why do you lie to me  when you’re so hard to believe  it’s almost criminal how you’re so dysfunktional  i’m not really too shocked to know that your only goal in life is the jerry springer showâ  they said you were over the top then i saw you as that drunken shirtless stupid guy on cops  you said you want me dead ‘cause i keep messing with your head  why can’t you see my sympathy  you’re even crazier than me why do you lie to me  when you’re so hard to believe  it’s almost criminal how you’re so dysfunktional  you asked me to be there for you and then you changed your mind  and now you’ve changed your mind  so now you’re pushing me away  so please don’t waste my time waste my time waste my time  why do you lie to me  when you’re so hard to believe  it’s almost criminal how you’re so dysfunktional  why do you lie to me  when you’re so hard to believe  it’s almost criminal how you’re so dysfunktional 

Shades of Grey (4:48) i thought you were right there in the crowd  so i pondered these things to you aloud  i thought you were right there in my sight  i was sure i knew my day for night  i thought i hold you in my hands  so i ran and vanished in your lands  i thought you were right there in my wake  but once again that’s my mistake  been breaking down myself over you  when i noticed you had better things to do  you stole all my friends away  i didn’t need ‘em anyway  i’m really not myself today  the blue and black fade into grey  i thought i was almost finally there  till you came and caught me unaware i thought i was on the chosen path  now looking back that’s such a laugh  i’m a little more stupid than i look  i couldn’t give you more than you’ve already took  you stole all my friends away  i didn’t need ‘em anyway  i’m really not myself today  the blue and black fade into grey  and maybe you’ll be all alone when i’ve broken everything i own  tangled in the elements i’ve torn  but you’ve seen me far worse off before been breaking down myself over you  when i noticed you had better things to do  you stole all my friends away  i didn’t need ‘em anyway  i’m really not myself today  the blue and black fade into grey

Couldn’t Anything (3:37) i couldn’t think of anything to do so i gathered my pens and wrote a letter to you  it said baby don’t free your thoughts of me just yet  i ran down the block and crashed into your sister  i asked for your number  she said it wasn’t listed  she said maybe you should spend some time thinking ‘bout what you’ve done  well i don’t want to think about the things i don’t remember  and i don’t want to consider where i could have been if i hadn’t ever  i couldn’t think of a way to respond  so i went to your house by the church near the pond  and tapped on your door and sang my song so resolutely baby  i could see in the window you were watching the game  and suddenly i started to feel pretty lame  mama always told me to turn back when your reaction is insane  but i won’t go on and on about the things i don’t remember  it’s never crucial anyway to these predicaments i render  i couldn’t think of a damn thing to write  so i went to the kitchen and poured a whiskey and sprite  poured gasoline on the candles you gave me and watched them burn  i called up your house and got the machine  i looked at your letter at the spaces between  what it said and what the hell did it mean  now i don’t know what i did to upset you  i can’t even recall when i ever met you  and everyone has told me think hard about my conduct being true  so i wracked my thoughts for an hour or two  and i realized what i said to you  that night i blew from town i said “i’m probably not coming back for you”  but i won’t go on and on about the things i don’t remember  i know i’m only limited to what i want to see 

Drunk Again (3:51) i’m drunk again  i ain’t been sober since i don’t know when  i’m drunk again  i’ve been on a bender and it seems a never-ender again  why should i even try when i’m feeling so much pain  ol’ granddad jack, jim, and jose cuervo all tell me it’ll be okay  i ain’t got a friend or dog and i’m lonely  i had my chance but i missed my one and only  i never finish anything i try and i’ll tell you the reasons why  ‘cause i’m drunk again  i ain’t been sober since i don’t know when  i’m drunk again  i’ve been on a bender and it seems a never-ender again  why should i even try when i’m feeling so much pain  ol’ granddad jack, jim, and jose cuervo all tell me it’ll be okay  blush wine since i’m step nine and i’m sorry  apologies are becoming my life story  so please don’t try to intervene  just sit and have a drink with me  when i’m drunk again  i ain’t been sober since i don’t know when  i’m drunk again  i’ve been on a bender and it seems a never-ender again  why should i even try when i’m feeling so much pain  ol’ granddad jack jim and jose cuervo all tell me it’ll be okay  ‘cause i’m drunk again  i ain’t been sober since i don’t know when  i’m drunk again  i’ve been on a bender and it seems a never-ender again  i’m drunk again  i ain’t been sober since i don’t know when  i’m drunk again  i’ve been on a bender and it seems a never-ender again  i’m drunk again  i ain’t been sober since i don’t know when  i’m drunk again  i’ve been on a bender and it seems a never-ender again  (incoherent gibberish courtesy of the drunks in the back row)
