DRIPS Words: CS?VIO * Music: VIO FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? She had to get caught up Whole world slowing down Blinded by no shame Keeping backs to the crowds Thought you knew it all What you learned was shit All alone just you and your drips Believe half of what you see Nothing what you hear Half of what you see Nothing what you hear Drip stained napkins Smeared notes to self A dark hallway leading Nowhere & back again The sign says, “Keep Away” But a part of me just says stay Guess I’ll go one step beyond Into something else with someone else Believe half of what you see Nothing what you hear Half of what you see Nothing what you hear Suddenly creeps, progress To a hollow heart… Shallow flame… Looking like you, Wished it stayed the same, Screamin’ like you hoped it Was just a game Then dead silence… [SOLO] Look past these petty games Only to see - That there’s nothing else I think that is The hardest thing to swallow Knowing that we are just So goddamn shallow… 2009 SmokeifUgottem.

Song About Nothing Words: CS * VIO: Music FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? It's so easy to forget About those who need us so much We want everything We stretch our means to an end Could you spare a few bucks to eat... The wells gone dry... I'm hung on a line... She sees me the way I wish The whole world would But they know I'm no good... Leave a tale for the world to tell I'll write a poem no one will read Suits me Cux I don't need no sympathy But maybe I could some company Some company Wouldn't be half bad right now Half cocked – ready to explode Not right now But soon I will Be the nothing I was meant to be... She sees me the way I wish The whole world would But they know I'm no good... Soon I'll be the nothing I was meant to be... See through me I can't see through you Draw me in your diary It's the last thing I'd believe Unless I Saw it with my own two eyes... My song about nothing Another song about nothing... ©2009 SmokeifUgottem Publishing

Gravity 02:50

GRAVITY Words: CS * VIO: Music FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? Can you feel the pull tugging you down? It’s these heavy situations that weigh us down… Still we keep our heads in the clouds Pushing smoke into our faces Trying to change our situations By changing our minds, Just how changing our clothes changes who we are And we pass our lives starring at the clock Waiting to get off to find release… Can you feel the pull tugging you down? It’s these heavy situations that weigh us down… It’s the gravity of it all… It’s the gravity tying us down… Exhale the clouded air With a sigh of relief All the grief it goes away I feel that I can stay… Flip through my mental Rolodex Thinking about all the meaningless sex… We have to watch ourselves again Why do we sleep with our friends? The gravity – the gravity pulls us down - down - down The gravity – the gravity ties us down - down – down Can you feel the pull, tugging you down? 2009 SmokeifUgottem. All rights reserved.

Winter High 03:17

Winter High Words: CS * VIO: Music FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? It’s that time again when we’re cold & fed up So we light up to get that winter high It gets us by like nothing else, We use our hands to make our tunes, That only helps to increase our mood… -----We get high---- We get blown----- And nothing suits us better Than getting stoned in cold weather Kicking back and talking shit About the things no one dreams Watching movies no one’s seen Singing songs no one’s heard We don’t care what others say About our level of immaturity… Just leave us in the cold With our guitars, bongs, & our bowls And we’ll just make our music from the soul While we grow old… It’s that winter high that gets us by like nothing else It’s that winter high that gets us by like nothing else Reaching to the sky with blood shot eyes! We ask the questions that lead us to ourselves… One eye open, one eye closed, Two minds soaring down unpaved roads, Expand - Your – Life It’s that time again when we’re cold & fed up So we light up to get that winter high It gets us by like nothing else, We use our hands to make our tunes, That only helps to increase our mood… 2009 SmokeifUgottem.

I don't want it... Word & Music by WEEN FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? Did we miss the moon? I'd lie in your arms if I could Such a common pain Repeats itself again and again Flowers grow in the springtime and leaves fall from the trees I've been GONE for so long, you just threw away the keys I understand it, but I don't want it I know it so well, you tripped me and I laughed when you fell This isn't how it should be I've let you drift so far, from me But please hold onto the memories Before we really crash and burn We've got ourselves so wrapped up that we've forgotten how to learn I understand it, but I don't want it ©2003 Ween

Girl at the bus stop Words & Music: My Drug Hell FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? Girl at the bus stop, talking French to her girlfriend on the bench I had my head in a book I lost my place when I took a look Girl at the bus stop, I wished for once that the bus would never come She sat downstairs, I sat behind I couldn't get her off my mind Girl at the bus stop, I could not believe when she got off same stop as me I'd not forgive myself if I let this chance just pass By, I thought I would die My, my butterflies Girl at the bus stop, I asked if she would maybe like to come out with me I noticed it had begun to snow Her smile was sweet when she said No, no, oh, no No, oh, oh Girl at the bus stop, I've thought of you I wondered if you wondered too and if perhaps you're hearing this I think that it would, be so nice if... ©1996 My Drugs Hell

Everybodies Girl 02:48

EverybodIEs Girl Words & Music: Dwarves FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? Kitty calls me on the phone, To say she's all alone And needs somebody's there. Crystal sees into the future, Tells me that she's an asshole; Should have, but who really cares. I sit here and wonder if we are sharing a different world, And all these making emotions whirling around me swirl; I'm in love with everybody's girl. Look at Brenda there with Luke, She's giving him the boot, Ah, but Kelly's standing by. Aw, and here comes my man Tom, Ask her "Do you wanna" But I never even try. I sit here and wonder if we are sharing a different world, And all these deviant motions making the channels twirl; And I'm in love with everybody's girl. I'm spending Cinco de Mayo with my Maria; Celebrating her independence with little Emily. And should the new year should find you without Jenny, There she'll be... You'll find her under my tree, Wrapped up and waiting for me. If you call me on the phone, Don't ever weep and moan; You always find me there. And if you see into the future, Be so kind as Not to tell me what you find out there. We'll lie in bed watching re-runs of another world, Just like a drunk ballerina stuck on a tilt-a-whirl; And I'm in love with everybody's I'm in love with everybody's I'm in love... (Ew, you're creepy) With everybody's girl. ©1997 DWARVES

DO YA WANNA DANCE? Words & Music: FUCKEMOS FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? Say baby do ya wanna dance tonight? When I saw you from across the dance floor Do you know it felt so good to be alive... Your eyes were looking into mine And I knew from that moment on That I could take a chance That I could make you mine ...The sky is wondrous & blue The Bees are buzzin round The flowers are in bloom I feel like singing these songs to you Together we could dance forever We could take that chance And start a brand new world Say baby do you wanna come over tonite? We could get drunk & if you pass out early I could get me some tonite... ©1994 FUCKEMOS

Free Associative Thought Words: CS * VIO: Music FROM: WE DID THIS INSTEAD? It's midnight again We're out on our own Driving drunk has never been so much fun When you live your life under the influence What the fuck? Does it all mean?!? It's just a scheme Like a gleam in a distant Person's eyes You don't know why it's there But you don't really care either Try to make it through your days Learn to say “everything's okay” But I know that there's a smirk That says it all That says it all A million words are left unsaid They echo in my head Every time I - am near you I wanna clinch my fist & hit the closest thing next to me But at the same time I just want to stretch my arms wider than I ever have And say “hello, how are you? I am here... I am here – today - right now” That's all I can say It's all I can say It's all I can do I am me & who are you? Yea Don't forget your lessons... whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoaaaa-yea CS motherfucking VIO I'm talking 'bout that CS motherfucking VIO Ya damn straight motherfuckas CS motherfucking VIO... ©2009 SmokeifUgottem Publishing.
