(as i was walking) what is the chance machine? (down the street) everything that happens abides (with a tear in her eye) the chance machine is my god (i was gonna go see a) with the decaying snake coiled on the trail (nother guy) and the chance machine (if i was a) the last time i spoke (??) in the chance machine across the country (would you tell me something that i) liquor like the surgeon (want to know) general's warning (and i ???) in the corner blinking her buttons (for the best) the chance machine controls no particular unfairness (and i) hand and hand random cloud formation (??? for to stay) no meaning behind any coincidence of shapes

remember when we sat at a table too big for two people you were in my dreams asking to wake up most of the time and in my mind i'm standing in line at the gas station inside do you wanna survive another year by side? do you wanna survive another year by side? in my mind i'm at the corner, why don't you come over remember the days when i would walk into your place and there was a time when you used to meet me halfway do you wanna survive another year by side? do you wanna survive another year by side? do you wanna survive? do you wanna survive? do you wanna survive? do you wanna? do you wanna? do you wanna?

russell song 03:19
we decide to put a lightbulb inside the ghost's chest hang it up at the window, staring out at the fence and when we go outside i can see inside you neighbor's building who knew they'd be exposed like that and all the tulips are wilting we decide to pluck flowers and hide them in packages you write me a letter on a receipt from breakfast and when we go outside i can see inside your best friend's car they're smokin a cigarette, trying to calm their heart real fast and i said, i can relate to that the building is orange and it has horns of gargoyles if you look enough the air conditioning units jut all the way up and do you ever wonder how many bodies? and do you ever wonder how anybody deals with their ghost? hanging up at the window a signal to go home.

i don't act like this much in situations you don't know me well enough to know my intentions i don't have to know why i blow up in my tensions you just have to assume i have good intentions why wouldn't you know i have good intentions? why wouldn't you know i have good intentions? i cross the sidewalk alone for my reservations don't you walk too slow for my situation and i don't have to know why i do anything and i don't have to know why you go to your conclusions and why wouldn't you know i have good intentions? why wouldn't you know i have good intentions? why wouldn't you know i have good intentions? why wouldn't you know i have good intentions
