track 16 Five Years August 29th, 2000 Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know the pAper chAse

lyrics 👇

[Verse 1] Pushing through the market square So many mothers sighing News had just come over We had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us Earth was really dying Cried so much his face was wet Then I knew he wasn't lying I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies I saw boys, and toys, electric irons, and TVs My brain hurt like a warehouse I had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to stuff Everything in there And all the fat, skinny people And all the tall, short people And all the nobody people We're all somebody's (people)

[Verse 2] A girl my age went off her head Hit some tiny children If the Black hadn't pulled her off I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm Fixed his stare in the wheels of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor Drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine I didn't think you know you're in my song And it was cold and it rained, and I feel like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanna get back there Your face, your race The way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful I want you to walk

[Outro] We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot We've got five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot We've got five years, that's all we've got We've got five years

track 15 When (And If) The Big One Hits, I'll Just Meet You There August 29th, 2000 Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know the pAper chAse

lyrics 👇

[Sampled radio conversation]

I've tried everything Perspicacity It's true, I'm in my prime I’m in my prime, I'm in my prime... but You know well as me Stuck here on our knees I can feel it in the air It's in the air, something big, I’m not prepared

Tonight the satellites will fall, the satellites will fall Like your san antenna call it San Francisco’s fault And just wait...

Tonight the satellites will fall, the satellites will fall Like your san antenna call it San Francisco’s fault And just wait...

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power

Leave with what you have... Leave quietly at that Don't bother with your clothes Your useless garments, books, videos Quickly... back door Undetected by a noisy wood floor Can you really believe how easy it was?

Tonight the satellites will fall, the satellites will fall Like your san antenna call it San Francisco’s fault And just wait...

Tonight the satellites will fall, the satellites will fall Like your san antenna call it San Francisco’s fault And just wait...

Tonight the satellites will fall, the satellites will fall Like your san antenna call it San Francisco’s fault And just wait...

Tonight the satellites will fall, the satellites will fall Like your san antenna call it San Francisco’s fault And just wait...

If the big one, if the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

If the big one, if the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

If the big one, if the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

And if the big one, if (and when) the big one hits (And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you’ve got to make it stop!) I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

And when the big one, and when the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

When the big one, and when the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

When the big one, and when the big one hits I'll just meet you there… (Anything can happen, anything can happen, anything can happen, anything can go wrong) I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

When the big one, and when the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

When the big one, and when the big one hits I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there… I'll just meet you there…

lyrics 👇

"'And we could have all this,' she said. 'And we could have everything and every day we make it more impossible.' 'What did you say?' 'I said we could have everything.' 'We can have everything.' 'No, we can’t.' 'We can have the whole world.' 'No, we can’t.' 'We can go everywhere.' 'No, we can’t. It isn’t ours any more.' 'It’s ours.' 'No, it isn’t. And once they take it away, you never get it back.' 'But they haven’t taken it away.' 'We’ll wait and see.' 'Come on back in the shade,' he said. 'You mustn’t feel that way.'"

This is why planes crash This is why royalty dies I hope you're proud of yourself He looks good enough to eat His razor blade [?] I notice that you got overzealous So we had to knock you down Sorry about that It's just your loose lips sink ships every time When everyone writes everything away, I can't concentrate But I'm hanging on by the fluorescence and the shaking floors near my cubicle [?] so get me out of this thing See, I've got to take care of this, otherwise the [?] I need a moment to myself Think about this, think about how... I see a nod, we exchange a smile How are you functioning? I answer your question with questions When I break it down to binary This will be my only comfort To believe it and buy it Bang bang, boom boom [?] The joke's on you And it's funny as in funny "Ha ha" Cause I'm unable to be there when it falls to the mercy of the [?] When the exhaust seeps in, the garage is pinning [?] The exhaust seeps in, the garage is pinning [?] Daddy's got your nose Daddy's got your nose Mommy says all good boys go to heaven And our heroes in confidence I'm sure Then it hits me Back into the salt mines, [?] God damn these hands God damn these hands

Well goddamn these hands, I let them touch you And goddamn your voice, "Sweetheart,​ Swing hard, I'll never bust you"

We had a deal We had a deal We had a deal I thought we had a deal

track 8 Goddamn These Hands (I Let Them Touch You) August 29th, 2000 Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know the pAper chAse

lyrics 👇

I didn't want to have to do this over the phone but, um, things have been on my mind and I really, I really just need to- to tell you this now because I can't- I can't go on with things the way they've been going. Um, let me think, um. I need- I need some time to myself. I think [?] be together anymore. Um, I think that, um, things are just going in a vicious circle, and we're not happy together, and we're not- we're not getting along. Oh shit, hold on...

[Instrumental break]

Sorry, that was my other line. But anyways, um, yeah, it's- I think we should just concentrate on being friends and maybe our relationship will get better in the long run. I don't know but really I just- I just think, um, we should break things off. Um, I- I really need some time to- to concentrate on myself. You gotta love yourself before you can love anyone else. Um, you know I'd like for us to remain... When you get back in town, y'know, we can get together and talk about it. But, um, yeah, I just- I just can't go on.​

Oh God, get it out of me!

Would you take it for me, respect the bullet

track 5 Neat;Manageable:Piles August 29th, 2000 Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know the pAper chAse

lyrics 👇

Slip soft that serpentine; live life off of our knees Sawtooths and pray can't edge away ape-man dignity She said "You've gotta leave with what you have 'cause when the big one hits: subtract You're no prize like me… young bodies always heal quickly" (Anything can happen, anything can happen, anything can happen, anything can go wrong)

Stacked bones by the furnace steams like neatly placed homecoming queens Your lumpish innate is the figure eight a bit of me, and I feel… … Anything can happen, anything can happen, anything can happen, anything can go wrong

"Solder me like a wire that breathes," your carbon copy fiber optic plea Why should we communicate sans technology? "Solder me like a wire that breathes," your carbon copy fiber optic plea You're no prize like me… young bodies always heal quickly

"Solder me like a wire that breathes," your carbon copy fiber optic plea Why should we communicate sans technology? "Solder me like a wire that breathes," your carbon copy fiber optic plea You're no prize like me… young bodies always heal quickly
