I've been watching you while you sleep - watching you while you dream and wondering what you see about me.
I've been waiting around - driving all over town looking for what I've found.
It sounds so easy now that you've had time to think about it.
What happens later on when you forget and go back on it?

Printed Things

The money has so much to offer you back in the land of the free.
The magazine that you see berating your TV,
they start the media wars in your living room.
Make me a plan.
Present it to me.
I'll say very angrily, "you're mostly wrong."
I have better idea, we'll just, we'll sit around here.
I like art and things like that.
Sometimes the print concedes now that the radio needs more good front line troops.
My favorite tunes are the ones that leave me blue.
Being winners now, what does that entail?
Yes I think we've found several workarounds.
Piece together these stories you've unearthed and tell me if you find something worth your time.

Bob's Killin' Song
02:04

Outside my building she waves to the crowd,
and they've paved the way for the national tour.
Seven or eight local rags printed stories of has-beens who had been in TV shows once.
Everyone died when Bob shot them all down.
It was hard to distinguish who had more fans.
Police made a sketch from the witness.
She said, "He was here! Then ran there! Then... I guess I forgot."
We'll find new "Friends."
Even if they can't measure up to them.
I guess I forgot.
One counted thirty or more.
He had made quite the score for the kids and their party of choice.

Radio Spam

Once I get back I will clean my room and write more things in first person about how I am smart and they're not while watching cats and lots of old game shows.
Once I get back I will fix doorknob and make a list of my Top 5 bands. "When you say Elvis, do you mean Costello?" You know I always do, by now you should not have to ask.
Your honor, here's my case.
Citizens' Band, frequencies jammed.
Radio spam, pre-programmed
Licensed ham, no exam.
We work for the betterment of state and man and government with the steady hand of fate the better ones will demonstrate.
Home. I want to go home.

Art

Something I should work on is keeping better records.
Diaries of history and numbers.
Paper is better than computers. (I guess)
Safety in notepads!
Providing better writing since 199X.
The satellite is snow and cable's out of range.
I'll eavesdrop on phone calls.
And next, back to the old routine.
Designing what you're finding in binary code.
Deciding on this and weigh the risk.
Lately I've backed way off.
Nothing starts with something and ends very akwardly.
I don't believe in art because I don't know where to start.
I think Die Hard is on.

I know that I've got to write this down.
Nothing seems to stay.
Another heart of mine, another expiration date.
Another word to hold onto.
Another back and forth.
A new notepad and old voice notes.
A night of this, and... I don't know.
Pictures and things, you can throw them away if you never save what you wanted to save.
Watching and waiting can make one forget but this time I know that I've got to write this down.
Nothing seems to stay.
Sometimes you forget how you felt then.

Bets and Betting

Second place is no place for the type of lady I prefer.
And in real-time a change is made to get specific points across.
The nights are shorter than you think.
I'm driving only to change lanes.
It's worth it just to have a chance to find out what I haven't had yet.
Will you call me out if I'm wrong?
Please don't stop on my account.
I'm letting go but they don't know.
We're better off this way.
Timing makes for great excuses.
I know better than to use this.
Look at this and tell me if it works for all your friends.
Everybody knows that I'm not half as good as I said I would be.
Believe me, I'm not the same as you wanted me to be.
There's too much pressure and I'm too outside.
Too much time has passed.
I'm betting I'm right.
Write to me and I'll write to you just as long as we both want to.
Meet me in a public place and we'll get out of there.
Read to me that correspondence back when we happened to start this.
Keeping this a secret we are living out the dream.

Happening

Sitting in a room all by myself.
Sitting in the basement.
No one knows I'm here for you.
Saying words you've never heard.
I'll say everything with our bodies.
I can't believe it's happening.
Seeing you wanting me.
And when I'm done with you we'll see what's left of me when I get off.
