Oh Mr. Pit--oh Mr. Pit--
Mr. Pitiful, who let you down?
Who let you down, who let you down?

You still don't believe, you don't believe
You don't believe, and your grievances show
When your soap box unfolds

But please, come down
From that cloud your sitting on
I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong
Just wanna know how you've been
And don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
Mulling it over in my bed
I hope that you see through your picket
I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence

To make amends
And still be friends
Still be my friend

So where did you go, where did you go?
Where did you go, while I was out?
While I was out, while I was out?

Well, I don't believe, I don't believe
I don't believe everything I see
And if you don't like the movie, then quit acting

But please, come down
From that cloud your sitting on
I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong
Just wanna know how you've been
And don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
Mulling it over in my bed
I hope that you see through your picket
I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence

To make amends
And still be friends
Still be friends
Still be my friend
Still be my friend
Still be my friend

You were right
I was up all night thinking about you
Dreamed I choked on your kaleidescope
They still looked deadly

My fatal flower
How the tigers all laughed
As I ran along the well worn path

Sapphire eye looks
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on me
Down on me
Down on

Insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels
I wash my hands in a lake
Cause she threw it all away with roman candles
So take your fever
Let me wallow alone
The callous on your eyes have grown

Sapphire eye looks
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on me
Down on me
Down on

And your faults have me stoned
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
So I was up all night thinking about you
I thought you were right
You were right
You were right
You were
You were right & I was up all night thinking about you

And I couldn't speak
Covered with bees you flew above me
Figure it all out
I think you've had enough time
I've had long enough to change my mind

Sapphire eye looks
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs
Down on me
Down on me
Down on

And your faults have me stoned
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
And I was up all night thinking about you
You were right so I was up all night thinking about you
I thought you were right
You were right
You were right
You were

Burnt trees on a snowy pass
All my friends are far behind
I’m stuck with you tonight
But I’d be better alone

So come on wheels take me far away
Where I don’t have debts to pay
I can’t count on yesterday to find the way home

I know it happens all the time
But they don’t have my back
So I’m never looking back

Plumes of smoke rise high above
Burned bridges lost in luck
I guess it’s all because
They’re found on the fault

On sandy ground
Foundations can’t be found
And all the stones of change were thrown in my face

I know it happens all the time
I heard them talk behind my back
So I’m never looking back

Skin’s turning green, eyes are turning yellow
The Doctor stays rich because I’m a sickly fellow
Got the hypochondriac blues
I need your medicine to soothe
Creams and pills they’ve got nothing on you

Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
Doctor, Doctor can’t get no relief
This losing sleep is misery
Won’t you come and rescue me?

Spent the last week in my bed started feeling symptoms
My psychiatrist fills me up with a new prescription
Tell me where I went wrong
It felt too good for too long
Honey you got the remedy for me

Well Doctor Doctor can’t get no relief
And this loosing sleep is misery

Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
I don’t want to be sick no more

My heart’s made of glass mama don’t you break it
I knew that I made a mistake when I let you take it
Now this pain is only for you
I need your medicine to soothe
Creams and pills they’ve got nothing on you

Well call me the doctor and give me the cure
But come back mama I’m feeling withdrawal
Please take my emergency call

How long must I wait held up in depression?
I tried to erase my past, to make a good impression
But my broken horn’s lost the tune
And only shattered mirrors fill my room
Fell for you and only got me down

Well Doctor Doctor come give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
Doctor Doctor can’t get no relief
This losing sleep is misery
Won’t you come and rescue me?

Vienna can you hear me?
Lazing on the afternoon
Cathedral bells
A ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
Ringing the sound

Winter can't ignore her
Spring will bring her back to blossoms
Summer bring her back to me now
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Shoulder to shoulder
Be back in a month I told her
Wishing well
I wish I, wish I, wish I, wish I
Wish her with me

Vienna was machst du?
I'm running through the streets of Zurich
Calling all the trains in Europe
To bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Anything I got to do
Anything I got to do now
Anything I go to do to be

Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Vienna can you hear me?
Lazing on the afternoon
Cathedral bells
A ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
Ringing the sound

Winter can't ignore her
Spring will bring her back to blossoms
And summer bring her back to me now
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Anything I got to do
Anything I got to do now
Anything I go to do to be

Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me
Bring her, bring her, bring her, bring her
Bring her to me

Your surprises wear disguises
All of your truths masquerade around on hallows eve
So I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
So impressed by you undressing
Did you take his hand aside from love
The truth would break me in two
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces

This is the voice that's scared to hear those names
So this is the void, we'll leave a hole in space

I'll take it kindly if you blindly
Holding inside the thoughts I have
Inquisitively wondering
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces

But this is the voice that's scared to hear those names
So this is the void, we'll leave a hole in space

I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
Unfamiliar faces (repeat 'til end)

I've heard the story
I'm sure he held you down
forced you to do things while I'm not around
but you lies, you lied
but I've got cigarette eyes

feel uneasy I think of you less
my mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
oh my, oh my to see you with that spy
you lie, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes

out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
you held a victim under your spell
so go hide, go hide
but I've got cigarette eyes

I feel uneasy, I think of you less
my mind is so restless and I'm feeling obsessed
oh my, oh my
to see you with that spy
you lied
but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes

so you've got yourself a bright young girl
one who lies with you in bed
when she tells you that she likes the weather
don't believe a word she says no more

If I wait long enough someone might come out
If I tried I could be somebody else

So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
But it’s all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall

Don’t bury my feet so I can’t run
I’ll be your martyr in bells
Well I’ve walked in your steps and held my breath
Until your words reached the air

Then I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it’s shadow I became it’s sheep
But it’s all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall

So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it’s shadow I became it’s sheep

But it’s all been the downfall, it’s all been the downfall
It’s all been the downfall of me
All in the downfall

I talk with my friend over the phone
I'm scared to say things I don't know & be wrong
And words always sound much better
Coming out of someone else
But put it in a song
And I know that we can get along

I'm trying to lose, lose my mind
When it's gone, I'll tell you where it went
About the extent of it's stay
Strum a few chords & use my voice
And make it a song
With the hopes that you will play along
Along

And into ones before me
Some say I waste my time
But normal life seem so boring
So I'm trying to lose my mind

Well I met a girl
She didn't like my song
She told me that old bands are better
She played me her favourite records
This is how I repaid her
I said it's okay to some
But I hope that you can sing along
Along

And into ones before me
Some say I waste my time
But normal life seem so boring
So I'm trying to lose my mind

Behind the mountains where the Cuckoo sings
They tried to mine a miner for his golden veins
But a guy gets lonely and a guy gets sick
Evil woman you're bound to make a mess of it

She laid me down in her golden sheets
Lord save me, Lord I was knee deep
Well a hundred soldiers and a thousand men
Couldn't drag me down but I'm back on my knees again

Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know

But i know more than you think I do
You got a hole in your face where I can see through you
Well holy me, you've got devils in your sleeves
With the bull in your court you're bound
to make a mess of me

Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know

I must confess there’s blood on my chest
I’ve made a great mistake so cruel
1 – 2 – 3 there’s an outlaw in me
And I’m searching for a used to be

Why don’t you give yourself to me?
I’ve got a deal for you
But oh yes, I’ve a lot to confess
Drowning far away from home
Tied to a heart of stone

Darling my days are so bleak
Pretending that you’re still alive
Lonely nights this mariner cries
He’s drowning in desperate tides

Because this solitary mindset has left me cursed with vain
But oh death, I would give my last breath
Drowning far away from home
My sinking heart of stone

Oh death, can I breath my last breath?
Yes, yes, I’ve a lot to confess

Because this solitary mindset has left me cursed with fate
But oh death, can I breath my last breath
Drowning far away from home
Stuck with my heart of stone

Well Miss Magnolia you just can't keep
Keep me to yourself
You know I been here way too long
You had me working all day long
No, I'm not cut out & I won’t be found
And make a man for you

Well, if you see her make sure you tell
Tell her that I'm gone
To find the land beyond
Where I'll be free
The river bold in me
A rolling stone
But by and by I'll find my home

I wrote a letter in the mail it said,
"The steed don't need a mare
Dearest Magnolia
Well put flowers on the grave
& make the headstone read
We could get along
But we never did belong"

Well miss magnolia you just can't keep
Keep me to yourself
You know I've been here way too long
You had me working all day
No, I'm not cut out and I won't be found
And make a man for you
