I was always right
About the morning Okay, I'm an old shoe Danced above the blaze Never stopped crawling Over the black dunes And I'm waiting for you Waiting forever Are you awake now, too? I'm always one Without a warning Old days re-appear Lift away, past the gate Desert keeps forming Underneath The black moon And I'm waiting for you Waiting forever Are you awake now, too? |

I have heard the wall and
worry of the gospel Ferry faust it crossed a void I have married broken spoke charging smoke wheels Spit and swallowed opioid I am the driver at the wheel of the order Marching circles at the gate My eyes have seen the fury So flattered by fate Tonight I'd rather count the warm fuse internally Subtract the silence of myself I would rather choose a million mind of mystery Reverse a riddle for my health I'll unwind strange rinds overpower me Toss the chimneys in the sea I believe I've seen the finger Divine extremity Please come closer to the feather smooth lens fire Sadness is my luxury Will you ever join the cult come before I die More aware of it than me Without the blowing stone The kids are unabashed Loneliness postponed My eyes deceiving glory I was born to die alone Alone |

Capitol city, skyline photo
Skyscrapers shine, the sun's so Low in the sky Secretaries at the hot dog vendors Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers Rolling by I can't call with a subway token Anyway, the phones are all broken I wish you were here, better yet I wish I was there with you You wouldn't like it here You should stay right there Breath'in that country air You wouldn't like it here ... Capitol towers radiate a steam vent Scream along with the clarinets and Arguments echo down the hall I can't sleep, I can't wake up Shakin' up, maybe we should break up I wish you were here, better yet I wish I was there with you You wouldn't like it here You should stay right there Breathin' that country air You wouldn't like it here ... Capitol city, skyline photo Picture postcard sign The moon's so low in the sky I can't smile when my heart's still broken Far away, in love and unspoken I wish you were here Or I was there with you ... |

I've been young
I've been old I've been hurt and consoled Heart of coal Heart of gold So I'm told I've been lost I've been found I've been taken by the sound My own worries and voices in my head I can't help it if I fall In love with you again I'm calling just to let you know It dawned on me Every night Is a test To the east From the west The sun rises And it sets As the sun At its best I forget That I know I regret Letting you go Sometimes I can't believe How dark it can be But I can't help it if I fall In love with you again I'm calling just to let you know It dawned on me Dawned on me So for And so forth And again I will stop To begin at the end I can't help it if I fall In love with you again I'm calling just to let you know It dawned on me I can't help it if I fall In love with you again I'm calling just to let you know It dawned on me |

Was I wrong? Off all night long?
So high, as the stinking sun I came alive, then I felt, Oh Uh Oh Some guys have everything I know It’s alright I’ve done a lot of crawling around outside (and I heard) It’s alright Your sno-cone, and it’s piss and blood It’s in the cards (oh, oh) 'Get Well Soon - EVERYBODY!' Do all lies have a taste? Let it go, I don’t know oh... A cow’s neck, bad shave, in the low blow slo-mo It’s alright You won’t set the kids on fire Oh but I might OH You come on, sentimental If the solar car’s coming, I’m home The Magna Carta’s on a Slim Jim blood, Brutha!

Hate will keep us together
Love will tear us apart What has joined us in the dark Oh I was warned I would drive you away I felt the same Then I told you And you agreed Some days I despise Everyone I see We're all swine But you're all mine What will keep us together? Will tear us apart Maybe making up your mind Breaks your heart Hate will save the dolphins I wish there was a way I could change it so nothing would ever change or stay the same All I can do is sing it for you Whole lives go by Then we die You're all swine We're swine Love will keep us together Love will tear us apart I don't care what the song says It's not my heart Anyway The point is things can always be worse When youdon't have a chorus It's verse After verse After verse Then I told you In my arms I hate you less Than the rest We're all swine But you're all mine |

This is how I tell it
Oh, but it's long One Sunday morning Oh, one son is gone I can see where they're dawning Over the sea My father said what I had become No-one should be Outside I look lived in Like the bones in a shrine How am I forgiven? Oh, I'll give it time This, I learned without warning Holding my brow In time he thought I would kill him Oh, but I didn't know how I said it's your god I don't believe in No, your Bible can't be true Knocked down by the long life He cried, 'I fear what waits for you' I can hear those bells Spoken and gone I feel relief, I feel well Now he knows he was wrong I am cold for my father Frozen underground Jesus, I wouldn't bother He belongs to me now Something sad keeps moving So I wandered around I fell in love with the burden Holding me down Bless my mind, I miss Being told how to live What I learned without knowing How much more that I owe that I can give This is how I tell it Oh, but it's long One Sunday morning One son is gone |

I will throw myself underneath
the wheels of any train of thought running off the rails I'll sail you through the rogue waves of your brain If I could bring a light to shine upon the dark and disobeying night so young but I still say we're too old for cliches Oh I can only dream of the dreams we'd share if you were so inclined I would love to be the one to open up your mind I could base my whole existence upon the cherry strands of your gold hair I would ask almost insist upon treating you kind and fair Oh I can only dream of the dreams we'd have if our hearts would be entwined If you would let me be the one to open up your mind I'd still be myself beneath the banks all broken beside the stream ready to return your thoughts unlearned so it goes so it seems Oh I can only dream of the dreams we'd share if you weren't so defined I would love to be the one to open up your mind If you would let me be the one to open up your mind |

Solar rising red lung
Glisten under the sun I wonder when it'll part From the snow The melody's a mistake Embrace at the wake How long does it take For us to know One wiff that's been blown There's something unknown Buried under the mound Of snow Found a fix for the fits Come listen to this As intimate as a kiss Over a phone And it goes Found a fix for the fits Come listen to this It's buried under the hiss And it glows Like a powerful smile Car radio dial As intimate as a kiss Over a phone And it goes |

How can you tell
You're under a spell You're compromised You're miles away Slow How can you know When you're aiming low There's nothing in your heart Don't feel it in your soul No standing O O O Maybe you've noticed I'm ashamed Of anything that I've done Maybe you've noticed that I'm not the same As almost anyone Why can't you see You look funny to me You trip and fall I catch it all O How can you know When you're aiming low You're curling up You're crawling now No standing O O O Maybe you're saying no this time Dance right around my bones It's ok I'll be fine I won't follow you home Instead I turn my mood on a dime I'm finally off my back I come from a long long line I mope and I cry and attack OW OW How can you tell You're under my spell Compromised Miles away No standing O O O Maybe you've noticed I'm not afraid Of everything that I've done Maybe you've noticed I'm not the same As almost anyone Instead turn my mood on a dime I'm finally off of my back I come from a long long line I mope and I cry and attack How can you tell How can you tell |

It's in my hair, it's on my clothes
It's in the river, over the road It's shining down, my angry star Hanging off the hood of my car Not going far, not going far It's coming down, they're coming up the shoulders What have they found? I wonder if they'd know I'm in a bull black Chevy Nova, silhouetted by the setting sun This can't be undone, this can't be undone If I am the one, blood on the sofa Blood in the sink, blood in the trunk High at the wheel of a bull black Nova And I'm sorry as a setting sun This can't be undone, can't be outrun It's in my hair, there's blood in the sink I can't calm down, I can't think I keep calling, there's blood in the trunk I can't calm down, I freak out, black out |

Wake up we're here
It's so much worse than we feared There's nothing left here The country has disappeared If the winter trees bleeding, leave red blood The summer sweet dreaming, April blush But none of that is ever gonna mean as much to me again. Hold out your hand, There's so much you don't understand So stick as close as you can, All of the best laid plans You've got the white clouds hanging so high above you You've got the helicopters dangling angling to shoot, The shots to feed the hungry weekend news crew anchorman. So every evening we can watch from above, Crushed cities like a bug Fold ourselves into each others guts, And turn our faces up to the sun. I won't take no I won't let you go All by yourself Oh no you'll need my help When the cold night shakes you like a chandelier The snowflakes break through the atmosphere, And melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear. Every evening we can watch from above, Crushed cities like a bug Fold ourselves into each others blood, And turn our faces up to the sun. |

By the end of the bout
He was punched out Fists capsized, muscles shouting Deeper down, he felt the insult of a kiss Deeper still than we can go Further out than triremes row Drowning slow His memories persist Out beyond the telescopes prowl Up above the towers touched up pile He realized, this mystery is his Underneath the ocean floor The part of who we are, we don't explore I adore the meaninglessness of the this We can express By the end of the bout He was punched out Fists capsized, muscles shouting Deeper down, he felt the comfort of a kiss |

I was on my way home from high school
Stuck at the crossing I dug in for a duel But at the last moment I buried the brakes My life split in two directions, into two separate fates I got on the last flight to Amsterdam But couldn't hit the runway so we took off again Oh, there's no need to worry, the captain cut in The winds are less angry over in Berlin You know it's true the other shoe It waits for you, what can you do? Remember to show gratitude The darkest night is nothing new Sonny's got a problem, all the mini mart clerks know She knows nothing of Eminem's suburban gangster flow Oh, maybe it's random how each moment unfolds It didn't feel like the wrong time or place until they cut off her clothes A sunny feeling is taken away A sunny feeling is taken away A sunny feeling is taken away A sunny feeling is taken away I'm on my way home from my high school I'm always contemplating why the kids are still cruel Oh, the kids are still cruel A sunny feeling is taken away A sunny feeling is taken away A sunny feeling is taken away Some of the feeling is taken away |

I should warn you when I'm not well
I can tell Oh, there's nothing I can do To make this easier for you You're gonna need to be patient with me I'm this apple, this happening stone When I'm alone Oh, but my blessings get so blurred At the sound of your words I'm gonna need you to be patient with me How can I warn you when my tongue turns to dust like we've discussed? It doesn't mean that I don't care It means I'm partially there You're gonna need to be patient with me |

Sunlight angles on
A wooden floor at dawn A ceiling fan is on Chopping up my dreams What is left of them I take to sleep again Where I dare pretend I'm more than I seem Tears get triggered Yours remind me Of the ice melting in my glass Finally full again So I listen for Your lips to break apart Into words It definitely starts To spoil my heart Somewhere there's a war But sometimes there is art It definitely starts To spoil my heart Somewhere there's a war But sometimes there is art When I'm awake enough I'm gonna shake it off I'm gonna shake it off I've gotta shake it off I'll shake it off Shake it off Shake it off Shake it off Hotels hold me Thoughts are rising So many hearts Beating in one place Like a giant Beast with many souls Now just a body Full of holes When I'm awake enough I'm gonna shake it off I'm gonna shake it off I've gotta shake it off When I'm awake enough I'm gonna shake it off I'm gonna shake it off I've gotta shake it off I'm gonna shake it off Shake it off Shake it off Shake it off Shake it off |

Tires type black
Where the blacktop cracks Weeds spark through Dark green enough to be blue When the mysteries we believe in Aren't dreamed enough to be true Some side with the leaves Some side with the seeds The treetops nod The rain applauds The park grows dark And the swings all slowly die But you and I will be undefeated By agreeing to disagree No one wins but the thieves So why side with anything? The streetlights glow Comes and goes When the sun comes back As we all can plainly see Embracing the situation Is our only chance to be free Oh, I'll side with you If you side with me |

Oh the band marched on in formation
The brass was phasing tunes I couldn't place Windows open and raining in a room yellow, blue, gold and gray The drunks were ricocheting The old buildings downtown empty so long ago Windows broken and dreaming So happy to leave what was a home With the sky blue sky, this ride in time wouldn't seem so bad to me now Oh, I didn't die; I should be satisfied I survived It's good enough for now With the sky blue sky, this ride in time wouldn't seem so bad to me now Oh, if I didn't die, I should be satisfied I survived It's good enough for now |

If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along Then just sing what you feel Don't let anyone say it's wrong And if you're trying to paint a picture But you're not sure which colors belong Just paint what you see Don't let anyone say it's wrong And if you're strung out like a kite Or stung awake in the night It's alright to be frightened When there's a light What light There's a light What light There's a light White light Inside of you You think you might need somebody To pick you up when you drag Don't lose sight of yourself Don't let anyone change you back And if the whole world's singing your songs And all you're paintings have been hung Just remember what was yours is everyone's from now on And that's not wrong or right But you can struggle with it all you like You'll only get uptight When there's a light What light There's a light What light There's a light White light There's a light White light There's a light One light There's a light White light There's a light One light There's a light White light There's a light One light There's a light One light There's a light White light Well, there's a light White light Inside of you There's a light White light There's a light White light There's a light White light There's a light One light |

I remember my mother's
Sister's husband's brother Working in the goldmine full time Filling in for sunshine Filing into tight lines, ordinary beehives The door screams, "I hate you, hate you hanging 'round my blue jeans." Why is there no breeze? No currency of leaves? No current through the water while No feelings I can see I trust no emotion I believe in locomotion That turn to rust as we discuss Though I must have let you down too many times In the dirt and the dust I have no idea how this happens All of my maps have been overwrote Happenstance has changed my plans So many times my heart has been outgrown Now everybody's feeling all alone Can't tell you who I am When everybody's feeling all alone Can't tell you who I am I am looking forward Towards the shadows, chasing bones Our face is stitched in sewing Our houses hemmed into homes Trying to be thankful Our stories fit into phones Our voices lift so easily A gift given accidentally When we're not sure we're not alone |

When I sat down on the bed next to you
You started to cry I said, maybe if I leave, you'll want me To come back home Or maybe all you mean, is leave me alone At least that's what you said You're irresistible when you get mad Isn't it sad, I'm immune I thought it was cute For you to kiss My purple black eye Even though I caught it from you I still think we're serious At least that's what you said |

His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her She appears in his dreams But in his car and in his arms A dream can mean anything A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her But he never could Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird His goal in life was to be an echo The type of sound that floats around and then back down Like a feather But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans No one could hear him Or anything So he slept on a mountain In a sleeping bag underneath the stars He would lie awake and count them And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way Would never let him Die alone Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird A hummingbird A hummingbird |

Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know What would we be without wishful thinking Chambers of chains With red plastic mouths The inside of outside No one has found How to unring the bell It's just as well The turntable sizzles Casting the spells The pressure devices Hell in a nutshell Is any song worth singing If it doesn't help Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body can let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know 'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking Open your arms as far as they will go We take off your dress An embarrassing poem Was written when I was alone In love with you I shook down those lines To shine up the streets I got up off my hands and knees To thank my lucky stars that you're not me What would we be without wishful thinking What would we be without wishful thinking What would we be without wishful thinking |

The cash machine is blue and green
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck All my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I want a good life with a nose for things the fresh wind and bright sky to enjoy my suffering A hole without a key if I break my tongue Oh, speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come? All my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I'm down on my hands and knees every time a doorbell rings I shake like a toothache when I hear myself sing All my lies are only wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I would like to salute the ashes of American flags And all the fallen leaves filling up shopping bags |

I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands
I used to go see on the landing in the summer She fell in love with the drummer She fell in love with the drummer She fell in love Shiny, shiny pants and bleach-blond hair A double kick drum by the river in the summer She fell in love with the drummer Another and another She fell in love I miss the innocence I've known Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned Unlock my body and move myself to dance Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass Classical music blasting masks the ringing in my ears I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands I used to go see on the landing in the summer She fell in love with the drummer She fell in love with another She fell in love I miss the innocence I've known Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned I miss the innocence I've known Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned |

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue I'm hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you? Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers This is not a joke, so please stop smiling What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt? I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight You were so right when you said that I've been drinking What was I thinking when we said good night? I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns What was I thinking when I said hello? I'd always thought that if I held you tightly You'd always love me like you did back then Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking What was I thinking when I let you back in? I am trying to break your heart I am trying to break your heart But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy I am trying to break your heart Disposable Dixie-cup drinking I assassin down the avenue I'm hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you? loves you I'm the man who loves you |

All I can see is black and white
And white and pink and blades of blue That lay between the words I think On a page I was meaning to send her With you I couldn't tell if it bring my heart The way I wanted when I started Writing this letter to you And if I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand I'm the man who loves you All I can be is a busy sea of spinning wheels And hands the feel for stones to throw And feet the run but come back home It make no difference, ever known Make no difference, ever known to me If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand I'm the man who loves you All I can see is black and white And white and pink and blades of blue That lay between the words I think On a page I was meaning to send her With you I couldn't tell if it bring my heart The way I wanted when I started Writing this letter to you If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand I'm the man who loves you I'm the man who loves you |

Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me, honey You can combine anything you want I'll be around You were right about the stars Each one is a setting sun Tall buildings shake Voices escape singing sad sad songs tuned to chords Strung down your cheeks Bitter melodies turning your orbit around Don't cry You can rely on me honey You can come by any time you want I'll be around You were right about the stars Each one is a setting sun Tall buildings shake Voices escape singing sad sad songs tuned to chords Strung down your cheeks Bitter melodies turning your orbit around Voices whine Skyscrapers are scraping together Your voice is smoking Last cigarettes are all you can get Turning your orbit around Our love Out of Our love is all we have Our love Our love is all of God's money Every one is a burning sun Tall buildings shake Voices escape singing sad sad songs tuned to chords Strung down your cheeks Bitter melodies turning your orbit around Voices whine Skyscrapers are scraping together Your voice is smoking Last cigarettes are all you can get Turning your orbit around Last cigarettes are all you can get Turning your orbit around Last cigarettes are all you can get Turning your orbit around |
