L.A. River
(E/Jenifer Condos)
Broken Toy Shop

Walkin' along by the L.A. river
This river such a joke and so am I
I don't know why I should believe her
I don't care what she says
I wanna die

I'd jump right in the drink
But there's no water
I'd jump right in and sink away from here
Poor river
Empty River
I'm feeling just like you
I'm feeling just like you

Walkin' along by the L.A. river
stepping on broken glass, kicking cans
She's telling me I don't even know her
I guess there's some things I won't understand

I'd love to float away like old Tom Sawyer
I'd love to run away and be Huck Finn
Poor river
Empty river
I'm feeling just like you

Walking along by the L.A. river
reading graffity and throwing stones
She's looking for someone to deliver
She doesn't give a damn if I'm alone

I'd dive right in and drown
But there's no water
May head may hit the ground
But still I'm here
Poor river
L.A. river
I'm feeling just like you

Last Stop : This Town
(E/Simpson)
Electro-Shock Blues

You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?

Taking flight and you could be here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get here tonight

I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright.

Get down get get get down get down down get get get down get down

Takin' a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
"whatcha talkin' bout?
Cos they don't know how to let you in
And I can't let you out

What if I as not your only friend in this world?
Can you take me where you're going if you're never coming back?

I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away on my way

Get down get get get down get down down get get get down get down

Why don't we take a ride away up high through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories and smoke

I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away on my way
Fly away

Get down get get get down get down down get get get down get down
Fly away...

Looking Out The Window With A Blue Hat On
(E)
A Man Called E

Oh, she comes on like a fog
Then she goes out like a nuerotic dog
So now I'm sitting here thingking all day long
Looking out the window with a blue hat on

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me out to live again

So, she bought a little book
And filled it up with names she never shook
So, I'm just one of them, thinking all day long
Looking out my window with a blue hat on

Find me a sky hi cliff
Just let me try to, jump right off
Maybe I'll fly

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me out to live again
