Midnight when the plane lands
Step outside the front doors
Moons rise as we wave hands
For the wars
Soldiers, let your hairs down
Spread your chips across the floor
Choose now whom you’ll stare down
For the wars
Time was we were digging holes in the earth
We said we must be in China now
Now that we’re here just to see what it’s worth
Well it’s more than I’d allow

So neither one of us was much for common sense
Rolling numbers to predict the presidents
You let me sleep until the middle of the day
Made you happy just to watch me drift away
I always thought that I would do the same for you
Body rising from the earth to pay the rent
But in the morning your arms and legs were blue
I thought it was an accident
If Heather never walks again she’ll walk again
Bad luck been breaking me lately
Is she only getting sick cause she hates me?
At the moment it is hard to find her
But she’ll revive the dialogue someday
Everyone moves away
Does she still wait for me to remind her
You don’t have to entertain me
Just feel better
Doctor’s orders say no visitors after dark
So I’m outfoxed by the patriarch
Now he says you’d better leave or it’s your ass
Sit in the parking lot and miss my evening class
I cried a little as I read your magazine
As dedicated as we were to staying clean
Now there’s methadone on my face
I could’ve given you some space
When she runs, don’t try to get her
Though your friends say never say never
When she runs, lie down and let her
When she runs, she’s gone forever
And though I’ll never dream again I’ll dream again
Is there a difference between knowing and faking?
Is objectivity just there for the taking?
Heather doesn’t answer the door
The only bed we know turns cold
Everyone’s getting old
Performance standards don’t apply anymore

Feeling so empty inside
Without your love my heart is caving on all sides
Turn on my TV baseball
Drowning my sorrows in a beer-colored ocean
I’m letting it all hang out
Because
I’m never gonna let you go
Heather, just let me know
I’m hanging out on the borderline
Believe
I mean it when I say I’ll go
Heather just let me know
Is this love or not?
I’m so outta line
Here at the rink alone
It’s couples’ skate and I’m waiting by the telephone
(I know you don’t know the number)
I feel like a loser
I strap on my skates but it’s hard cause I’m such a boozer
Putting on all this weight
Because
I’m never gonna let you go
Heather just let me know
I think I’m running out of time
Believe
I mean it when I say I’ll go
In your heart you know I really won’t
Til I call you one last time
I’m so outta line
I wanna know, I need to know
Cause you’re always on my mind
Never gonna stop
Cause it’s lonely at the top
Heather, no!

Heather, how can you keep it together
When I feel like I’m losing my mind
If I hear one more note
I’m gonna slit my throat
Cause I just can’t take it tonight
Heather, you’ve gotta keep it together
Cause I feel like I’m losing my mind
This band has got us in a rage
My friends are shouting at the stage
They’re jamming and there’s no end in sight
You’re from a foreign land
My friends and I are gonna make a guess
I’m saying Eastern Europe, and you just laugh it off
Is everyone as tall and thin
And blonde as you where you’re from
Is Iceland hot like those leather knee-high boots?
This drink is going down
And you’re killing me when you speak
We’re chilling on a bench outside
Now I can really hear your voice
It’s corny but you sound just like Björk
Living in Chicago
It’s typical of life in the Midwest
You know L.A. is fake, and New York is crazy as hell

Baby Teeth recommends:
Back On The Music!
by Paul Cherry
I adore his oddball jazz/pop sensibility. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision someone bringing early-80's lite-jazz influences (hello Michael Franks!) to cool indie kids. PAUL DID IT!!
go to album
Dreamer is out of this world. Amazing mix of influences. There are bangers here, but also laid-back soul, itchy indie guitar, and sharp political critique. Check "Cookout"!
go to album
Awesomely ambitious record, incorporating Kinks, Bowie, and T. Rex, with super-groovy avant-garde production. Love the vision and can't wait to see where they go next.
