Thumb (Written By J Mascis)

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

Steppin' out, I tried to fix it
Pulled a thumb out of that hole
Give me ingredients, I'll mix it
How can you move without a goal

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

An excuse is all you're in for
The abuse is all you crave
Sure you know just what is in store
Wait and see if I'll behave

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day

There's a time, just let me know now
When it's with you I'll be glad
That I was right there just to show you
At least it's more than what you had

There never really is a good time

What Else Is New (Written By J Mascis)

I'd like to see you
In the morning
In the evening
But you need a warning
I'd like to see you
It's a last ditch
C'mon you gotta
Ain't sayin' there's not itch
Come on out now
It's the only way
Can't fake I know how
Is that all you're gonna let me say

I'd like to see you
Don't you miss it
Lied again today
And now I wish that
You'd believe me when I need to
You should be weary, I would if I were you
Can I come along
I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong
Sure I'll take the blame

I'd like to see you
In the morning
In the evening
But you need a warning
I'd like to see you
Don't you miss it
Lied again today
Now I wish that
You'd believe me
When I need to
You should be weary, I would if I were you
Can't I come along
I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong
Sure, I'll take the blame
Come on out now
It's the only way
Can't fake I know how
Is that all you're gonna let me say

You got things to do
So, what else is new
Won't you give me some
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see
You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one

Where'd You Go (Written By J Mascis)

Get in line there's a message that I gotta heed this time
It's not fine I been waisting life missing every sign
Squeeze my mind just to ring out the last drop of sense
The last time and you told me so
It's not wrong

Where's today
Where's tomorrow been
Where's the peace I crave
Where's the life I'm in
Where's today
Why's tomorrow feel
Like a whole new love
Like a whole new deal
It's not wrong

Where'd you go I got time please take me instead
Gotta know the urgency shot right over my head
Feeling rough but I'm holding on
handing you my thoughts
Getting tough but I'm full of love
It's all part of the plan
I'm not saying that I like it or understand
But I just gave you my hand
Gotta feeling that you'll take me with you again

Where's today
Where'd tomorrow go
Did it all wash out
Is there something I should know
Where's today
Why does tomorrow feel
Like a whole new love
Like a whole new deal
And it's all part of the plan
I'm not saying that I like it or understand
I gotta be grateful I can
Cause I know that you'll take me with you again

Repulsion (Written By J Mascis)

I feel your eyes upon me
How should I act today
To feel so unsure always
Give up or now keep on this way

The silence taps my elbow
It's good, least that's what she said

Boredom won't starve as long as I feed it
The world drips down like gravy
The thoughts of love so hazy
Everyone's ideal of fun
Repulsion
I can run but I stand and greet it
Try to wake up, try to break it open
It's not quite the right feeling
I'll just keep on hoping

The girls, they smile and say hello
The darkness drags me back home
It's hard to face it
Still waiting, still alone

The world drips down like gravy
The thoughts of love so hazy
Everyone's ideal of fun
Repulsion

Try to wake up, try to break it open
It's not quite the right feeling
I'll just keep on hoping

The world drips down like gravy
The thoughts of love so hazy
Everyone's ideal of fun
Repulsion
Repulsion
Repulsion

Take a run at the sun

Take a run at the sun
When you think of the one
Brings a cloud to your eye
Every moment you smile
Rain lets up for awhile
Sun starts clearing your sky

Every night you cry alone
Every tear a raindrop
End every time you're on your own
And you wish the hurt would stop
The sun will never hurt you
The warmth of rays will hold you
And every time you wonder why
Remember what I told you

You've been waiting for a sign
You wouldn't need if you were mine
The littlest clouds could feel the sun shine

Take a run at the sun
When you think of the one
Brings a cloud to your eye
Every moment you smile
Rain lets up for a while
Sun starts clearing your sky
Let the rays come inside
They'll make everything right
Let the sun embrace you
All the feelings you hide
Let 'em go with the tide
Give the moon a place too

You been hurt the cloud's rolling
Your heart is close to broken
Don't want to move you're feeling down
Catch the rain it's coming 'round
The sun would never hurt you
The warmth of rays will hold you
And every time you wonder why
Remember what I told you

Take a run at the sun
When you think of the one
Brings a cloud to your eye
Every moment you smile
Rain lets up for a while
Sun starts clearing your sky
Let the rays come inside
They'll make everything right
Let the sun embrace you
All the feelings you hide
Let 'em go with the tide
Give the moon a place too
Take a run at the sun
Take a run at the sun
Take a run at the sun
Take a run at the sun

Mind Glow (Written By J Mascis)

It's been runnin' for a long time
And it's runnin' out in my mind
I can't explain it all to you
It's really jumbled up
So for longer now I'm messed up
And I'm wishin' now I'd fessed up
That concern's no use to you
It feeds the pain that's done

So forget how I am dealin'
Explain to me the feelin'
It gets to that point instantly
You're ready to unload
And I'm the one you're spitting at
I'm ready for my fitting at
Doesn't make much sense
But when I get it calm it's slow

It's hard to admit anything
I'm sorry for the weight I bring
I'll do whatever's necessary
To make your mind glow soft
It's played out too far to stew
And I've run out of grace with you
So I'm out and take a walk
And we'll be better off

Whether I lied
As much as you tried
Whatever you decide
I hope it's good to you
For everybody's sake
Lord knows we all need a break
Do what you got to
This is hard to take

To the time I spent discussin'
I'll sit back and stop the fussin'
I won't mention it to anyone
And we'll be better off
I won't admit to anything
Sorry for the weight I bring
Do whatever's necessary
To make your mind glow soft

Whether I lied
As much as you tried
Whatever you decide
I hope it's good to you
For everybody's sake
Lord knows we all need a break
Do what you got to
This is hard to take

The Leper (Written By J Mascis)

Embarrassed to be alive
Sit with my life, open wide
Your stare is forcing my face open
A leper crumbling, never joking
Who should I believe

Safest to wallow in my own esteem
Afraid, stick my neck out
Knowing the day has drawn

I'm a leper
Scared beyond this feeling
I dare to escape

A leper
Doomed to this
My life is chosen to rape

Embarrassed to be alive
Sit with my life open wide
Your stare is forcing my face open
A leper crumbling never joking
I'm a leper
Scared beyond this feeling
I dare to escape

I'm a leper
Leper
Leper

Sameday (Written By J Mascis)

I woke up suddenly you're the one I love
It's the sameday it's the sameday

I got pissed but it's God who gave me this
On the sameday it's the sameday

Better be grateful son
It's you who wanted my life
Here's what you asked for
Do your best don't mess with my life

Dreamed a picture sent to me
Couldn't hold it that was my life
It's sad, it's sad to know your colder
Piece together you and me
The gift means everything to my life
Be glad be glad that no one told you
Rain on now that was my life
Bring them where they ought to be
Make a pile and call it my life

Lock the door and hit the floor groan that was my life
Now look at everything it's beautiful that's my life

All a dream you can tell me what I mean
It's the sameday it's the sameday
Judgements off gotta go with my first though
On the sameday it's the sameday

Dreamed a picture sent to me
Couldn't hold it that was my life
It's sad, it's sad to know your colder
Piece together you and me
The gift means everything to my life
Be glad be glad that no one told you
Rain on now that was my life
Bring them where they ought to be
Make a pile and call it my life

Raisans (Written By J Mascis)

The lights exploded
She stood burning, in front of me
She ripped my heart out, and gave it to me
My eyes wouldn't open, cemented to her face
Have I begun a feeble chase

I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
There's only everything standing in front of me

I know what you did to me
I know what you did was wrong
You're allowed to torture me
Wait a moment until I'm gone
I know you're the ticked, you gotta be
'Cause I let you be alone for long
Got to do something mean to me
Got to do something so I can't hang on

(You're Killing Me)
(You're Killing Me)
(You're Killing Me)
(You're Killing Me)
(You're Killing Me)

I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
I'll just stare and hope you'll care
There's only everything standing in front of me

I'll be down, I'll be around
I'll be hanging where eventually you'll have to be
You're not mad, you're standing there
Now you've to decide the fate of my sanity
