| Einstein On the Beach
Einstein is actually an old demo song, originally featured
on Dgc Rarities, Vol. 1, now featured on Films About Ghosts
Albert's always sincere, he's a sensitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
If everything is nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?
And Albert's vision is blooming uncontrolled
All his wings are slowly sinking
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again
Einstein's down on the beach staring into the sand
Cause everything he believes in is shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay
We all get burned as:
one more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
for an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again
Albert's waiting in the sun
On a field American
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
for an eggman, fallin' off the wall
Will never be together again
Albert's fallen on the sun
Cracked his head wide open
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
for an eggman, falling, falling
The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
for an eggman, fallin' off the wall
Will never be together again
No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway

Washington
Square
This is not a transcript, these are the actual
lyrics verbatim from Adam Duritz himself (with a little mystery
left in.) Note: That mystery has since been solved, sucka!
I sold my piano
It couldn't come with me
I locked up my bedroom
And I walked out into the air
When nothing I needed
Was left there behind
I walked out through the shadows
Of Washington Square
I wandered the highway
From Dublin to Berkeley
And I heard the songbirds
Of BallyPooreen
But I loved like a fountain
And it left me with nothing
Just memories of walking
Through Washington Square
Now I live in the shadows
Where light is electric
And time is a number
That rests on a wall
And nobody knows me
My friends and my family
Are as far from this city
As Washington Square
So cover this warm night
In a blanket of starlight
and I'll follow this freeway
Out into the air
In case you should wander
and wanted to find me
I'm traveling homeward
To Washington Square

Tuesday in Amsterdam
A picture of Amsterdam,
Bare trees under glass,
Framed in the grey and white afternoon light,
Of a winter long passed,
When I was a riser,
To Dublin I'd roam,
She was a bareback rider,
Some miles from home,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
She’s a carnival diver,
Hung in the sky,
Cutting through time like a memory,
Strung on a wire,
Now the color of anything,
Fades in the air,
She is the film of a book,
Of the story of the smell of her hair,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
When everything’s over,
And everything’s clear,
When everyone’s older,
And no one is here,
I try to remember,
A girl on a wire,
Tumbling and diving above Steven’s Green,
Like a kite in the air,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Oh come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me yeah,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me.

Cowboys
Cowboys on the road tonight
Crying in their sleep
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand
And some promises to keep
Who wanted to change the world…
What’s as easy as murder?
It’s all headlights and vapor trails
And Circle K killers
And I could look at anyone but you now
I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now
So come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on through now
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on through now
This is a list of what I should have been but I’m not
This is a list of the things that I should have seen
But I’m not seeing
The look in your eyes as his fingertips lit on your neck
And it made you shiver
I’m just turning away from where I should have been
Because I am not anything
The president’s in bed tonight but he can’t get to sleep
Cause all the cowboys on the radio are killers
And I believe she loves you
Cause you never make her feel like anything
She said I wouldn’t feel a thing
But I can feel, oh I can feel
And I know I could look at anyone but you now
I could fall into the arms of anyone but you now
So come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on through now
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on through now
This is a list of what I should have been but I’m not
This is a list of the things that I should have seen
But I’m not seeing
The look in your eyes as his finger’s unzipping your dress
And it makes you shiver
I’m just turning away from what I shouldn’t see
Because I am not anything
Everyone’s in bed tonight but nobody can sleep
Cause all the satellites are watching through our windows
She says she doesn’t love me like she’s acting
But it’s as if she isn’t talking
Cause Mr. Lincoln’s head is bleeding
On the front row while she’s speaking
I said come on all you cowboys
All you blue-eyed baby boys
Come on all you dashing gentlemen of summer
I’ll wait for you where Saturday’s a memory
And Sunday comes to gather me
Into the arms of god who’ll welcome me
Because I believe…Oh I believe…
And I know I could look at anyone but you now
I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now
So come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on through now
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Come on through now
This is a list of what I should have been but I’m not
This is a list of the things that I should have seen
But I’m not seeing you look at me
So please won’t you look at me?
Cause I’m not seeing you look at me
Oh I will make you look at me
Or I am not anything
Words and Music by Adam F. Duritz
She don't want nobody near
This is actually an old song,
performed in 98 at the viper room, re-recorded recently for Films
About Ghosts. Lyrics written and provided by Adam Duritz
She don't want nobody near
But you can't get away from that
They appear and disappear
And they all get a string attached
Pretty soon they've got you hanging on the line
Pretty soon they're singing one by one, the same old rhyme
They say, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
She don't want nobody home
Cause it's a little too crowded then
But she don't want to be alone
So they just keep pouring in
Pretty soon they've got her headed for the door
She comes home to find that they're not hanging 'round no more
She says, "I'm alright, you just can't get home tonight"
Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light?
She says "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Pretty white-washed lies,
endless alibis
and reasons that need cleaning every night
Half a world away
You can't wash away the stain of the deceiving
And the things that you cannot believe
And well, she don't want no one around
Cause she don't want anybody to see
What she looks like when she's down
Cause that's a really sad place to be
Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls
Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call
She says "I'm ok, it's alright, hey look who's on TV tonight"
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Don't you wonder why it's dark outside at night?
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"

Accidentally In
Love
(from the shrek
2 soundtrack)
So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
think about it every time
I think about it
can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this
just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout
love
come on, come on
turn a little faster
come on, come on
the world will follow after
come on, come on
cause everybody's after love
So I said I'm a snowball running
running down into the spring that's coming all this love
melting under blue skies
belting out sunlight
shimmering love
Well baby I surrender
to the strawberry ice cream
never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
but there's no escaping your love
These lines of lightning
mean we're never alone,
never alone, no, no
Come on, Come on
move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
settle down inside my love
Come on, come on
jump a little higher
Come on, come on
if you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
upon a time in love
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love (x7)
Accidentally
I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally (X 2)
come on, come on
spin a little tighter
come on, come on
and the world's a little brighter
come on, come on
just get yourself inside her
Love ...I'm in love
