Warhol 04:36
Hurrying down the street I see smiling faces at me. 20 dollars in my pocket will still get me all I can drink. And this pretty young thing is winking her drunken eye. Yes the Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol is all I need. Yes, the Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol, it rushes me. The Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol is in my dreams. So shame on the boy - cause he's so irrational. Shame on the boy - and she's such a pretty girl. Shame on the boy - give him 40 lashes for throwing her love away. People far and wide gather round to see the show. She sitting at the bar, shots of Jack it burns her throat. And she's crying in a napkin, scribbled with words I wrote. Oh Edie. Oh Edie. Oh Edie, please don't go - Cause the band is playing, the sweat is pouring, The voices lift and they sing the chorus, The girls they show us their bare relations, The Warhol rushes me. Yes, the Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol, it rushes me. The Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol is in my dreams. So shame on the boy - cause he's so irrational. Shame on the boy - and she's such a pretty girl. Shame on the boy. Oh Edie, Oh Edie, Oh Edie, please don't go - Oh Edie Sedgwick, now Edie Sedgwick, So pretty, vivacious, your love's so tainted. Such a pretty girl, my factory girl. The Warhol rushes me. I'm on fire. I'm on fire. You're my girl of the year, my '65, With you I'm so alive. Yes, the Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol, it rushes me. The Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol is in my dreams. The Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol. The Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol. The Warhol, the Warhol, the Warhol - is all I need.

Mercucio 04:43
Starbursts in the sky. Hindsight is 20/20. My vision drives me blind. My mission is to free you from your binds. Can you hear me, Buried in your grave? Can you feel me? One kiss to ease the pain. You're cold on the table, I'm willing and able. Yes, I will cry for you. No matter the weather, nothing lasts forever. Yes, I will die for you. I will, you know I will - The sun sets in the West. My chances are 50/50. This poison's bitter taste. My teardrops kiss your face. Will you fear me, When I'm by your side? When you're near me, I can never die. You're cold on the table, I'm willing and able. Yes, I will cry for you. This hapless endeavor, nothing lasts forever. Yes, I will die for you. I will, you know I will - I softly hear your voice, Lingering in the hall. I softly hold your hand, As the angels call. (Ahhhh, ahhhh.) She opens her eyes. This twisted twist of fate. My fatal mistake. Rise, young girl, rise. Can you hear me? I will cry for you. Can you feel me? I will die for you. Can you heal me? I will rise for you.

Fireflies 05:34
I feel my life it slips away. Lay a flower on my tomb, a halo on my head. I know I will be missed, so many chances fade away. Forgive but don't forget. And I - I see the fireflies. And I - I can't stop wondering. So many thoughts they cross my mind. I feel the folly of my youth, the folly of my pride. I know you have regrets, you and I were brothers. Only myself to blame. And I - I see the fireflies. And I - I can't stop running. And I - I'm down by friendly fire. And I - I can't stop wondering. I know that life goes on. Yet I cannot move on. I know that life goes on. Yet I cannot move on. I watch you go from day to day. Trapped behind this two-way mirror, I long to touch your face. I know you love me still, keep my picture by your bed. You know I love you still.

Simple Pages 05:29
Simple pages fall from the tree, And lay my memories to rest like falling blossoms. I burn your pictures, as your memoirs fade away, I kneel all alone in my room as my skin kiss flames. I cannot wait for you all alone in the cold. I cannot take the memories of us no more. Sounds of laughter echo down the hall. The sounds of my voice a stranger that can't be destroyed. It crackles and crumbles, my flesh up in smoke. Praying for solace this trauma can't be revoked. And I cannot wait for you all alone in the cold. I cannot take the memories of us any more. Simple pages come down and rescue me. So cold in your arms. Not even the flames can set me free – You break me down. You bring me down. You tear the pieces and light the flame. My ashes will remain. Why would you always show me how I was destined to fail? You bring me down. You never wanted to see me succeed, you held my head beneath the sand. You held me down. Was always the first to laugh when things didn't work as planned. You tear me down. Always made me feel worthless so you'd have the upperhand. You wear me down! But these Simple Pages, they fall from the tree. And they put to rest all your simple memories. I burn your pictures as your memoirs melt away. I kneel alone in my room as my skin kiss flames. But I cannot wait for you all alone in the cold. I cannot take the memories of you any more.
