Houses

I'd like to see you smile
because a better day is coming
The wheels are off the road
but the engine is still humming
(we will roam)
Into the woods
In To the woods
Side by side with you my love
You take the things you've learned
and you put away the childhood games
Our houses always changed
but inside them we are still the same

Air of the Saint
04:12
|
|||
|
A million soulless soldiers in desert snow
Ten million fingers grasping- what they don't know
And if I end it now they will not be released
'Cause if I end it now they'll see it on t.v.
And I feel like a saint...
Cacophonous strings they wail
Limitless inventions set sail
Feeding monkeys at the zoo
Reflect the soulless eyes of you
A million needles piercing setting sun
Two million forearms flexing- getting it done
And if I end it now there will not be relief
'Cause if I end it now my needles lose their teeth
And I feel like a saint...
I see the space station on fire
A woodless, airless funeral pyre
Where will you run when the pieces fall?
You dusty altar's grown too tall
And I feel like a saint...
Breathe it in, it's the air of the saint...

Mind vs. Mind

(you think)
You can decide which side of the road you're on
(yes)
You can decide which side of the road you're on
(but)
you are nothing, you are not free,
you are empty, you are nothing
Never decide which side of the road you're on
(you think)
You can decide which side of the coin is up
(yes)
You can decide which side of the coin is up
(but)
you are not free, you are nothing,
you are empty, you are not free
Never decide which side of the coin is up
(somewhere)
A trillion miles away
A planet breaks into another world
But you will never know because
You are now here with me
A hundred feet away
A man is stealing all his neighbor's food
But you will never know because
You are still here with me
And I... love... you...
(you think)
You can decide which branch of the tree to climb
(yes)
You can decide which side of the tree to climb
(but)
you're still nothing, you are not free,
you're still empty, you're still nothing
Never decide which side of the tree to climb
-repeat chor. & end-

Bones & Crunch

Skinny sister, bones and crunch
Crack a smile, get rid of your lunch
Up it comes, you're so cool
Here you come, you're beautiful

The Sleeper
03:52

Doesn't matter who you know
People come and people go
Not you - except you
I remember Christmas break
You did give and I did take
From you - from you
Let's go back to the place we were before
Holding hands and sleeping on the floor
The bed's too big without you babe
Sorry for the things I said
To you - to you
Since before the day we met
This sickness has been deeply set
It's true - it's not you
Let's go back to the place we were before
Holding hands and sleeping on the floor
My girls they did say to me
Hope to maybe someday be
Like you - like you
Remember when we didn't care?
I danced in my underwear
For you - it's true
Let's go back to the place we were before
Holding hands and sleeping on the floor

Remembrance Blues

Remember a time, was so good?
Remember a time, made outta wood?
Take it to the wood, girl
Take it to the woods
Take it to the wood, girl
Take it to the woods
I have been mountaintop
And I have been mountainside
To remember a time, you gotta be good
To remember a time the way it should
You gotta be good
You gotta be good
You gotta be good, my girl
The way you should
And I have been mountaintop
'Cause I have been mountainside
Remember-ance will save your soul
Save your soul
And remember,
I have been mountaintop
'Cause I have been mountainside
To the side...
no, you can't stop this.

Tell A Story
04:23
|
|||
|
Our sinking ship takes one last look
At the rolling sea below
And racing minds can find some strength
In knowing we can row
I love the way your hair blows 'round
When the wind cuts up rough
And the look upon your face
When you know you've had enough
So sing a song, we're here anyway
Tell me a story 'bout some far off day
When Love grows on trees
And there's fond memories
Let's tell a story instead...
Cast away on unfriendly shores
I need you here with me
The people here they don't understand
About our life at sea
I love the way your smile fades
When you know that it's for real
And your skin it turns so clammy cold
When you're scared of how you feel
So sing a song, we're here anyway
Tell me a story 'bout some far off day
When love grows on trees
And there's fond memories
Let's tell a story instead...
Whenever your load gets a little too heavy
And you cannot find a rest
Give it to me and I'll carry it gently
Just put me to the test
But I know that you're too proud for that
And you'll live your life in pain
And while you carry that heavy load
I only pray that it doesn't rain
So sing a song, we're here anyway
Tell me a story 'bout some far off day
When love grows on trees
And there's fond memories
Let's tell a story instead
Let's tell a story instead
Let's tell a story instead...

Half Dead
03:29
|

I keep a stiff upper lip
I'm half dead already
I keep a gun on my hip
I'm always at the ready
I'm a peace loving man
And I know what you're thinking
But when the phone rings
My heart starts sinking
Who would've wanted it to be that way?
No, not me
We plot and we steal all our days away...
You got your big radar gun
But I'm not speeding
Can't afford the fine
I'd rather be bleeding
I keep a stiff upper lip...

Should I low'r the velvet curtain
Quit wastin' all your time?
Go to where the wind may blow me
Let it blow my mind?
Should'a been in movies
Or maybe up on a stage
Locked up like a monkey boy
Inside his gilded cage

I don't wanna go outside
Too scared of what we might find
I don't wanna walk with you
You're too scared of what I'll do
Your fingers in my brain
Are giving me a pain
My neighbors don't talk to me
They think that I'm insane
I don't wanna talk to you
Talk to me, I don't mind
I don't wanna sleep with you
I just don't wanna deal with you
Your fingers in my brain
Are giving me a pain
My neighbors don't talk to me
They think that I'm insane
Let's all take a look inside
Destroy the pieces we don't like
Tearing pulling from inside
Fix the problems with my mind
Your fingers in my brain
Are giving me a pain
My neighbors don't talk to me
They think that I'm insane
