from Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)
the distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away
loving me
and hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south
she waits to see
she's looking for birds she met last fall,
who said they would come back different than all
she's waiting for six who know about sound,
who'd promised to come back upside down
and i like your raindrop collector,
splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you
so hand me the glasses and teach me to use them,
show me the window, i want to look too
i'll take the glasses and cover for you,
you get some sleep and i'll stay 'till two.
i'm looking for six who know about sound,
who promised to come back upside down
she's got colors to spare and i don't care what they choose
and i've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose

from Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)
Before we steam and send, steady to the sun
A simple tale of woe, your hearts will be undone
A love song to everyone I know
Arms wide open, here we go
She weaves a trail of petals through the embryonic ice
Her hair is warm to the touch, her flowers twice as nice
And if he stands on the moon he can barely catch her eyes
Always open to the sky
And so we land only to find we never left the ground
Please leave the walls and the floors exactly as you found
A love song to everyone I know
Arms wide open, here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

from Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)
morning gray ignites a twisted mess of foreign shapes and sounds
i wish the ceiling was the ground
i'll send you flowers made of silent tiny pieces of the sun
to help me make up for this one
while you send me tidal waves of love when you're alone
and i can't remember what you do
to find a way to turn the signal back to heaven sounding blue
and bring me faithful back to you
and she don't hold me right, she's never going to get me there
not tonight
if we break off gently in slow motion, spinning outward into
space
my hand always floating gently at the wheel while you sweetly
hold my face
and i need you to give it meaning, i need you to share the view
or it becomes a time for me to love myself like every other
thing i do

from Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)
i'd like your hair long and laid on to the ground
you'd prefer an astronaut
someone to relate to and someone to command
and i would be a simple man
i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
and synchronize and shine
a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
it's still the same to me
it's a waste of a song
you're a waste of my lungs
it's a waste of a song
i'd like your face gone and in its place the sun
and i would be an astronaut
for i have come to surface to catch some light and feed
and i have everything i need
and i could hardly wait for my stars to fall in line
and synchronize and shine
a wasted string of years, and a wasted string of lies
you're still the same to me
you're a waste of a song
you're a waste of my lungs
it's a waste of a song

from Hum - Downward Is Heavenward (2004)
she's just along for the ride
wings melt and we hide
all this means nothing to the sun
are we leaking this one
mine comes true here
bruised, expanding clear
mine full of you here
I won't claim (?) in the sun
are we leaving this one
and swift out, she goes to the last frame
short lives and long days in a fast state
then we'll lay way to you
your ocean spreads out on sunbeams
radiant, knowing
and your hand looks so nice in mine
and its been a thousand new seams since inception
and radiant, glowing
they say that we're doing fine
and your ocean spreads out on sunbeams
radiant, knowing
and your hand looks so nice in mine
and the new-come struggle has both of us
stapled to the island for awhile.
and they say that we're doing fine

It's Eerie and it's awesome
How connected two pods scattered on the surface can become
Lazy into one
He knows lightnin' kills the other
She can't stand to watch his petals fall
It's better when cascades become like us all
Afternoon a golden disengagement leaves a woman
With a household left to fill
Sit, and be still, send the voltage cross his ticker
Watch the stars they start to flicker, and one by one levels fall
Another drink my love, and make it tall enough
So I can stand on it and see, all you've done for me
A world of curves and lines electric
Remember how you strung the colored lights, from Christmas tree to me

from Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)
Sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the Sunday afternoons
Sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe yeah, but you
Sleep comes to everyone while we wait, wide awake and blue
Sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe, yeah, but me and you
And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do
And so I give myself away, unto everybody everyday
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do
Sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the Sunday afternoons
And sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe, yeah, but you
And I had this one figured out, that's why the suicide machine is built for two
A simple sick device devised to overload on love
To bring us colored dreams and soundtracked waves of fun
And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do
And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do
Sleep comes to no one else like we have falling through the ground, fulfilling promises of endless summer nights, I'm losing ground, you're losing sound
Somewhere through a thousand blues a dragonfly descends with just a whisper, "I'm lonelier than God"
And all my wishes spin the fishes in the air and every one, a different shade of you
And to the left where up is down now stands a zebra made of shapes of me, and silver and the sun
So bring no guilt with you up above the flatline, let's just hit the sky exploding into one

from Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars.
She's not at work, she's not at school,
She's not in bed, I think I finally broke her.
I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs.
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars.
I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead.
A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens.
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars.
I thought you'd be there holding daisies, you always wait for me.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars.
