Lyrics
"Holding all the Cards"
I heard the phone ring
It was the suicide king
I didn't do a thing
I didn't pick it up
But I know why he called
and now he's got my number
I better play it straight
I better not stay up late
(Bridge)
It's really not that hard
I will laugh (cry) myself apart
I will play the hand I'm dealt
I hope I get some winners
A little bit of logic, a little bit of art
Who put me in charge?
I'm holding all the cards
(Chorus)
I'm holding all the cards...
Would you look at that?
I drew the one eyed jack
Only needs one eye to see
Through all my hope and greed
The other eye is closed
Impotently dreaming
Of a quiet vague place
Where I can show my face
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Where are you queen of hearts?
Did I lose the lost art?
Of smiling through my fears
Losing track of the years
I spend my quiet days
Playing solitaire and cheating
But I really can't pretend
I don't know how that ends
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

Nothing to Talk About

Lyrics
"Nothing to Talk About"
Maybe we're trying too hard
Maybe we went too far
You don't have to stay in my life
We just got nothing to talk about
You don't see me smile
And I'm getting ready to live without
(chorus)
It will never be the way it was before
There's nothing to talk about anymore
We're not enemies, but we're not friends
There's nothing to talk about cause this is the end
I'm gonna run away
Please don't torture your mind
There's never a reason to blame
We just got nothing to talk about
It wasn't a waste of our time
But look at the heartache we could live without
(chorus)
When are we gonna get tired
When has the damage been done
We don't mean what we say
We just got nothing to talk about
Take a look at my face - for the last time
It's me, baby, you could live without
(chorus)

Lyrics
"Letter"
I'm writing you a letter in my head
I'll give it to you when you're dead
When I figure out what to say
I'll say it to your grave
I'll capture how I feel
and wonder if it's real
might just keep it to myself
I'll never tell
I'm writing you a letter in my head
I'll bring it to your deathbed
When it can't get any worse
I'll tell you where it hurts
And all the times I cried
Wanting you by my side
My last chance and if I don't
You'll never know
I'm writing you a letter in my head
Not everything's been said
and when the time is right
I want to and I might
Feel your love again
if only to pretend
we're in a better place
we dropped out of the race

The Wild People

Lyrics
My sin, my sin is done and it won't be forgiven
I'm gone, I'm gone, gone where the wild people living
Gone where the wild, wild people living
So long alone, close to the bone
They kill the messenger
they kill the tax man waiting in line
they kill the passenger
where the train and the taxi collide
A holiday has come
My mind has escaped into hiding
I've shot away my life
Out where the wild people riding
Out where the wild, wild people riding
So long alone, close to the bone
Mama, mama please
please don't kill the messenger man
Mana, mama please
please don't kill the passenger man
On Saturday I'm sick
Sick with a virus descending
Burn Sunday to the quick
To the quick with a match on a mile long stick
My sin, my sin is done and it won't be forgiven
I'm gone, I'm gone, gone where the wild people living
Gone where the wild, wild people living
So long alone, close to the bone
Mama, mama please
please don't kill the messenger man
Mama, mama please
please don't kill the passenger man
