Third Man Factor

you're an angel
in old age makeup
i'm still a boy
you're a crocodile
that cries alligator tears
and i am a boy
there's a man in here with me and i don't know what he wants
should i ask him or should i run away?
is he a faker
or the third man in the situation
you're an angel in old age makeup
and i am a boy
we won't see results until four weeks
but by then it will be too late...
am i a faker?
or was there really someone there
can i be excused, can i be excused
am i being accused?

they sent me a child when i wanted a savior
yesterday night when i was asleep
god sent me children and children and children
so many take me away, then let me go
they sent me a child when i wanted a savior
yesterday night as they picked my bones clean
i needed somebody to come calling when i am lonely
and instead i got kids
if i would have known that they'd show up in droves
i'd have packed up and left house
so many children can watch me sleep
i know
don't know what to make of all of this
god why did you send me kids
when all i asked for was protection
from the things that bite me when i'm all alone
god why couldn't you just send me...
the skeleton of a child who watches me
as i sleep

sat in my one-room apartment, we can talk about the weather
it's been close to a year but finally we're together
yes it's true this song is about you
who told you about that?
yes it's true this song is for you
who told you about that?
it's always nice when someone stays up late just to talk to you
couple times i may have missed you
couple times you skipped out on me
i was always there for you
and i know you're the best that you can be
no, no, don't go away don't tell me that you wanna leave
no, no don't go away don't tell me that you wanna leave
i'm sorry if i'm your burden
i'm sorry if i'm your beast
i'm sorry if i've ever done anything to hurt you in the least

i swam in your river
who knows how many times
i took whatever i wanted
'cos you took me for granted
the absolute end of the world, come crying to me
but i can't be your savior this time
the absolute end of the world, come crying to me
but i won't be your savior this time
it shouldn't be this hard to remember what you looked like
but ash has coated all my photographs
got late and we all went home, and then i can't recall
next thing i knew all the stars went out
the absolute end of the world, come crying to me
i tried to tell you a long time ago
the absolute end of the world, come crying to me
but i can't do anything for you
[calm down get your nerves sorted out try and walk again. sun's not rising and i can't find north. calm down get your nerves sorted out this is not the end. where is that noise coming from?]
where is that noise coming from
where is that noise coming from
the absolute end of the world, come crying to me
[where is that noise coming from?]
i tried to tell you a long time ago
[why can't i see the sun?]
the absolute end of the world, come crying to me
[who's walking towards me?]
but i can't do anything for you
[that was you?]

must come to a screeching halt

babies born of muck and mire
and children with no happiness

A History of Dead Dudes
03:09

can i just say that i find it kinda strange
when you tell me you're descended from a long line
of guys that died
how could it be when your father's dead
you're alive here in my bed
whatever it is, let me tell you i'm glad, i'm glad
your lineage begins and ends inside a grave my dear
but since you're here with me i don't have any fear
i think you'll be around for many years to come, i hope this ain't magic
or something else you've done
let me tell you how happy your longevity makes me
your granddad stole bikes up until 1993
everything has its limits, and everything in moderation
but every single line on your face to me is cause for celebration
i'll read you the obituaries if you'll write my epitaph
that gallows humor always makes me laugh
i don't want a fountain of youth
let's let every year just pass
let's let every year just pass
let's let every year just pass
i used to find it strange when you told me about your history
now all i care about is the future of you and me
excuse me if i might seem a little detached
i just realized that life moves way too fast

how will i know it's you
if i don't know what you're wearing
how will they ever find you
if your teeth are gone
there's a woman in the attic or at least i think so
boys and girls, keep to the rules
[are you even listening?]
boys and girls, keep to the rules
boys and girls
keep to the rules
this is your alarm bell going off

Own House (Dreamland)

your father skipped out when you were ten years old
which gave you problems
your hands and your toes are always cold
which gave you problems
but hey
at least you're living in your own house
someday you're gonna be seventeen
you're gonna be alone
for a long time
and someday you'll hate me
someday you'll hate me
someday you'll hate me
more than you can say
but hey
at least you're living in your own house
charcoal on your fingers
clear and present danger
don't take me for granted anymore
i was glad when they got the CAT scan back, and they said you weren't dying
