The Day I Wrote You Off
(E)
Broken Toy Shop

I saw some photos of a happy family
Hanging up on the thrift shop wall
I paid the man and I brought them back home
I feel better now when they dont call

Every once in a while I see your face when I stare at the ceiling
I truly regret the day thet I wrote you off
Always dreamed I'd someday leave home
And now I do it again and again
And here I go looking for my new home
Or shall I say looking for a best friend

Every once in a while I see you face when I stare at the ceiling
I truly regret the day I wrote you off

The Medication Is Wearing Off
(E/Mickey P)
Electro-Shock Blues

See this watch she gave me?
Well it still ticks away
The days I'm claiming back for me

The medication's wearing off
Gonna hurt not a little, a lot
Keep on tickin' you're not lickin' me

Step on a crack break your mother's heart
Red light green light black
Suicide e-mail do not delete
Plug it back in the jack

Start to be what they want you to be
And you see yourself as they see you

Sunrise on the corner of
Sunset and alvarado
I think what the hell do I do now
Watch the day disintegrate
So I can stay up late and wait

See this watch she gave me ?
Well it still ticks away

The Only Thing I Care About
(E/Partheon Huxley)
Broken Toy Shop

She had the eyes of someone older
I have the eyes that wonder 'round
I couldn't see what really mattered

Caught hell from my boss
Don't care about my job
Caught a cold from the rain
Don't care if I'm cold
Played every record that I own today
But the only thing I care about got away

She was a walking work of art
I am a broken wind-up toy
I thougt I knew what really mattered

Got a flat on the road
Don't care about my car
Lost 26 bucks
Don't care about my rent
caught every episode on t.v. today
But the only thing I care about got away

She had a brilliant future
I have a past
I have my memories
but they're fading fast

Caught hell from my boss
Don't care about my job
Caught a cold from the rain
Don't care if I'm cold
Played every record that I own today
But the only thing I care about got away
The only ting I care about got away

Tomorrow I'll Be Nine
(E)
Broken Toy Shop

Tomorrow I'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow I'll be nine
It's only gonna be another day

They're always looking at me funny
I'm always doing something wrong
I'm thinkin' it would be better off if I was gone

Tomorrow, I'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow, I'll be nine
It's only gonna be another day

They never tell me what they're thinking
They're always busy being mad
I start to thinkin' could I be because 'cause I am bad?

Oh I'll go
Where I can't hear them
Oh I'll go away
There's got to be someone who wants me
There's got to be someone cares
Don't know where they are
But I am going there

Tomorrow, I'll be nine
And everything will be the same
Tomorrow, I'll be nine
I think it's time to make my getaway
