I can see your black face, and it’s hanging off your head You turn to me a say your future is all gone dead Your eyes are all staring through me and your mind is so messed up Hey, what you got inside you that you haven’t had enough If your brain is all black and blue and you can’t find your home You can run with me for a while if you got nowhere else to go And if your state of mind is youth, then you can come on with me ‘Cause I ain’t got nowhere to go and no place to be
2.
What do you believe Don’t tell me, I don’t care Is there something inside your head Is there something inside of there Is there someone inside To keep your going steady We’ve all got our chains Complex emotional pains Don’t you wanna, don’t you, please hold back Don’t you see that you treat me like that Gotta show you, gotta show you, man The day you live is slipping through your hand Will you install a god In your cowering cell When those walls you built so high Are your personal hell Don’t you wanna, don’t you, please hold back Don’t you see that you treat me like that Gotta show you, gotta show you, man You don’t seem to fit this fucking plan

Talk To Me 03:04
They tried to break you, and they did And through it all I was there I saw them push you, and I wanted to run to you Or just to call out, “stop it” What a rainy day, and you got yourself all dirty, but it was them So just pick yourself up and pin your pride on your sleeve 'Cause I was here for you then, and I’m here for you now I just wish that you’d come over and talk to me I’m really so much like you, I could show you something I’ve got Something I never show to anyone, if you want I keep it in a box, and I never let it out Except when I lock my door, and no one’s around I think that you’ve got it too I followed you home that day I followed you home and picked up the pieces Down the sidewalk I saw you let it out You were almost home Oh god, I swear I’ll never tell I swear on my mother, I’ll never tell anyone Just how I saw you that day 'Cause I was here for you then, and I’m here for you now I just wish you’d come over and talk to me
4.
Don’t burn your brain on the oven Don’t burn your hands on the weed Buy flowers by the dozen So you can plant that seed, girl Your eyes always in my way Don’t misconceive my feelings I’m not who I appear To you I look so simple And we could be so near Your eyes gonna drive me insane

Blue Bear 05:18
Blue bear stares one eye at me accusingly His leg torn I’ve loved too much, I’ve loved too hard His button eye glares down at me accusingly His felt skin worn I’ve hugged too much, I’ve hugged too hard We’ve danced and romped a thousand dance He’s taken tea abusively Blue bear stares one eye at me
6.
I watched you fly away from me And I wondered will you ever come back When you left you were so high I knew I’d never see you again I know you’re going to better things than this You’re probably laughing right now All the people in this world today Bent on making this life last So long And it was so good to know you for so little time Time, that’s the problem here It wasn’t 7, before you were gone for good It wasn’t fate that took you away from me Wasn’t bad luck just a bad fall of events Just the bump on your head that keeps me here and away from you I can almost see you in my mind And I can almost hear your voice in my head You throw your hair up over your eyes and you say “I’m waiting right here for you to join me. Come on.” And then your laughing because I can’t come to you Some days I’m just staring off into space And I can feel that you’re here with me in the room But I never turn around I never look back, because I know you’ll be gone before I speak It was easy for you to leave me I think you didn’t mean to and it’s okay

Fireball 02:41
To the streets and my mind's wheel turning Mental monkey wrench under my hood And feel the lightness of the ground beneath me And hear the engine sound far too good Skipping across the pavement like throwing stones Four circle hands to catch the ground And steer myself to brighter places And find myself an unfamiliar crowd But I really wanna jerk the wheel I'm gonna fall Fireball My eyes are blinking every loss of control Engine beating like a steel alarm clock And feel the veil of temptation over me And fear my actions in my state of shock Now the moments pass in slow motion Tension finds in me its fill And never blink for a second now And squeeze the wheel even tighter still But I really wanna jerk the wheel I think I'm gonna do it Just close my eyes and do it I'm gonna fall Fireball Single turn Crash and burn I'm gonna fall Fireball
8.
Your face is stained with fingerprints in red Gonna get that son of a bitch, in the end You know it's not the hurt that brings you down But this abuse is gonna run you into the ground And I was thinking that same thought the other day And maybe you and I should run away Say goodbye to your mom and dad, we’re gonna leave today Say goodbye while you’re still gone mad, we’re gonna leave today And we were making good time down the road we sped A million thoughts all shifting through my head Her hair was jumping, in and out of the car And I was wondering where the hell we are And we were all too content to follow the sun The cities rise and fall in slow motion The open road was just the place to be So we took that thought straight to the sea

about

Recorded on 4-track between 1992 and 1993, in Eve's bedroom, with the help of Mike Lujan, Jeff McElroy, and Dave Garrett, who at the time was an art student, painter, and drummer in numerous bands. Bleeding with indie cred, the cover featured one of Dave's drawings. Slick production was Xeroxing the cover on clear overlays - each one bent into shape by hand. Cassettes were dubbed on Eve's 2-deck cassette player. Paid for and promoted by Christian Hendrickson's "Slow Death" fanzine. Only 50 made. Those were the days.
