I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.

In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.

So let us sleep outside tonight, Lay down in our mother's arms, for here we can rest safely.

Why won't you run in the rain and play, let the tears splash all over you?

I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside.

Keep it locked up inside Don't talk about it Talk about the weather Can't see the light

When I step into the light My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly

I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.

I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.

Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail

And when you wake, you will fly away, holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye, my love, into your blue, blue eyes.

Part of me wishes some of the more obsessive fans would spend a fraction of the time they spend studying the band.

Love, you drive me to distraction.

I don't think everything is going to get peachy ever. But I think we have to fight for what we believe in.

Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?

I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.

Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are not cheese.

In your eyes, I see what's on my mind.

A friend is always good to have, but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me.
