One Last Night
03:02
|
|||
Waking up Monday morning sky
I’m weak in the knees
The world aint gonna give me a rest
Can’t moan, can’t weep, can’t cry
For the promise land of my soul
The wasteland of my heart
The bridge I crossed so far away
I touched the sun set
One love to take me to the moonlight
And ride the light
One love to give me one last romance
One last night, Ahhh
I lived so long I shed my skin
A dried up snake
The sideways rain against my face
I could never escape
My soul is in my hand
My heart’s barely alive
The bridge I crossed so far away
Oh lord when will the sun rise?
One love to take me to the moonlight
And ride the light
One love to give me one last romance
One last night, Ahhh
He is the riverside, he knows no one (x2)
One love to take me to the moonlight
And ride the light
One love to give me one last romance
One last night, Ahhh

In The Magic Light
03:45
|

Scabs scratched away
and polished with a cashmere cloth
Nervous fingers cutting strings
like scissors in the barber shop
Chords are hot as a stove top
In the magic light
There’s an angel glow
on the emerald toes of the front row
A theater drowned in liquor
chattering in the open door
I stumble across the stage floor
Into the magic light
And the glimmer in your eyes, eyes, eyes
The glare of the spotlight
The glimmer in your eyes, eyes, eyes
Shining through the days
When we were young
Singing like a ghost of love
Rolling in the mountain of mud
Let the great wall flood flood flood
In the magic light
And the glimmer in your eyes, eyes, eyes
The glare of the spotlight
And the glimmer in your eyes, eyes, eyes
Shining through the days
When we were young
Singing like a ghost of love
Rolling in the mountain of mud
Let the great wall flood flood flood
In the magic light

Honey
03:36
|

Taxi Taxi take me to her lips, Honey
Traffic Jams and firing eclipses, Honey
I played a song for thee,
but moving quick with little care
You forgot your record player
Best you save a box of pictures, Honey
Pick the ones you’re supposed to cherish, Honey
If this house ever burns,
Will you remember you were once young?
Are you missing the chances,
faked into loving
Do you ever ask why
you’re living or dying
Are you riding the tracks or the train?
Are you choosing to fly,
choosing the bargains
Faced with decisions
of dying and living
Are you riding the tracks or the train?
Are you riding the tracks or the train?
Ahhhhh Honey Ahhhhh Honey Mmmmm
You are one hundred days and nights, Honey
Fly with me to the city lights, Honey
A living’s just a way to make money
When we die let’s make it sunny, honey
Are you missing the chances,
faked into loving
Do you ever ask why
you’re living or dying
Are you riding the tracks or the train?
Are you choosing to fly,
choosing the bargains,
Faced with decisions
of dying and living
Are you riding the tracks or the train?
Are you riding the tracks or the train?
Honey Honey

Bitter Sun
03:36
|
|||
I tremble when I'm scared and I'm terrified
To think I'll never see the future home I've been dreaming
The rumbling of the cars surfing down the road
Geese are flying, mountains climbing, through cities and valleys
Bitter bitter bitter sun
Brighten up the highway signs
Better better better sing
Unfold the country road
and find my way home
Wind me up wind me up
Like a wind up toy
Walking like a little boy
Turn the wheel and make me feel
Like I have a choice
I'll stay here for the night happy and afraid
Cause knives and guns can turn you on hit you till you're dying
The city lights aint far, but there's a forest round this road
And you never know, when you turn if it's a forest or a city where you're going
Bitter bitter bitter sun
Brighten up the the highway signs
Better better better sing
Unfold the country road
And find my way home
Wind me up wind me up
Like a wind up toy
Walking like a little boy
Turn the wheel and make me feel
Like I have a choice
Bitter sun, better sing
Wind me up, walking like a little boy

Frozen
03:29
|

When I was 13
I’d go downtown, buy a book to read
Sit by the river
throwing rocks, read a magazine
Bought me a cellphone and the internet
And ever since then I haven’t got wet
Cause the river is dead
The coast is frozen
where I used to sit by the ocean
The coast is frozen
where I used to sit by
Bridge:
Frozen, it’s all but flies and fleas
The thunder and rain came today
washed the buildings away
Till there was nothing in the sky, and my ipod turned to clay
But nothing rained on me
Cause there’s nothing living in me
I’m a stray disease
I’m all seven seas
The coast is frozen
where I used to sit by the ocean
The coast is frozen
where I used to sit by
So I’m just going to breath, breath in the time
Till the rain, the rain falls on me (x5)

California
04:02
|
|||
I'm stumbling in the breeze,
the vinyard's gone rotten
it smells like the sea
I look at the sea
red dust and weeds
And the flood nowhere to be seen ohhh
Ohhh and the clouds made of dust and sand
Out in the dry
land of California
Sky's blue again sun is red,
the mountains look like heaven
I am thirsty
for a drop or drip
A river where I can swim ohh
Ohhh and the clouds made of dust and sand
Out in the dry
land of California
I'm walking and I see
rainbows in the street I must be crazy
Did it rain today?
I must be dreaming
The ground is drying ohhh
Ohhh and the clouds made of dust and sand
Out in the dry
land of California
The barman shakes my shoulder
sayin’ you better wake up
Go rescue your land
until the storm comes
Until the land is fertile ohhh
Ohhh and the clouds made of dust and sand
Out in the dry
land of California
I'm cathartic from the thorns that drain time,
my veins juice the vines
I grab the air
for something to drink
I fall on my behind ohhh
Ohhh and the clouds made of dust and sand
Out in the dry
land of California

Coins and Cans
03:00
|
|||
I don’t see much in crowded streets
But dancers practicing their routines
It seems like crosswalks are a stage
And the cardboard homes their scenery
Honking cars ringing phones
Rattling coins barking dogs
The orchestra of caffeine and rum
The light goes green and the dancers walk
Well when you lose your cherished home
And your pretty baby is on her own
And you listen to her cry and beg
But you can’t give her nothing but garbage cans
Why don’t you remember the days you walked
Your earphones in and your iphone on
You never even looked or glanced
To see them shaking coins and cans
Coins and coins and cans
I don’t understand
The sets made of rags the trees are black
The show is funded by the garbage trucks
And the dancers they do what they must
The spotlight’s always on lady luck
It’s just a song stuck in my head
The dancers rattling coins on their leg
Eating fast food, nothing, whatever you can
And sleeping on the concrete bed
Well when you lose your cherished home
And your pretty baby is on her own
You listen to her cry and beg
But you can’t give her nothing but garbage cans, garbage cans
Why don’t you remember the days you walked
Your earphones in and your iphone on
You never even looked or glanced
To see the shaking coins and cans
Coins and coins and cans
I don’t understand
Coins and cans coins and cans
I’d rather be a mighty prince but
I’ve a cardboard castle made with crayons
Cause all I have are coins and cans

Getting Older
03:47
|

Under the shade of a hundred foot wide
Evergreen blanket of leaves
Pavarotti echoes the loons
riding the summer breeze
We are one, if our lips ever touch
over the water
We are reflected forever,
a secret at the bottom of the sea
Under the shade of a hundred foot wide
Evergreen blanket of leaves
I realize the shackles are just a dream
Getting older and older
For wisdom and fortune and counting everything I see
Getting older and older
A moment is my reason to be
Wider and wider the redwood stretches
As I look farther away
I see the fossils frozen in my head
I see wisdom in the mud
It’s drying on the edge of memory
I pack up my bags, I raise my hands,
and I pray to Pavarotti
Give me patience, I’m Jambalaya, overdone,
And I don’t what made me feel so heavy
Getting older and older
For wisdom and fortune and counting everything I see
Getting older and older
A moment is my reason to be
Under the shade of a hundred foot wide
Evergreen blanket of leaves
I realize we need shackles in order to be free
Getting older and older
For wisdom and fortune and counting everything I see
Getting older and older
A moment is my reason to be

On a sinking ship
On the Mediterranean sea
Waves scrape the sky
And their teeth devour
My mother, my brother, and me
I wrestle with the waves
And plead for
to spare my family
The rain bites down
And cracks us in three
My mother, my brother, and me
I can see the shore
I can hear the choir
School bells ringing as I dance right through the door
(x2)
Saved by the crew
Of a freighter passing by the wreckage
Ghostly hands hanging on a piece of wood
A shivering family
My mother my brother and me
300 died that day
Now when I try to sleep, I see the ghostly faces
Left one war for another
Three refugees
My mother my brother and me
I can see the shore
I can hear the choir
School bells ringing as I dance right through the door
(x2)
My mother my brother and me (x3)

Filthy Old Farm
03:26
|
|||
Batteries dead in the car
Stuck in your skin in the dark
You walk down the road
to the filthy old farm
filthy old farm
Her ghost appears in the flames
Her sparks eat away at your name
The question she asks is always the same
Do you know how lucky you are?
Do you know how lucky you are?
Her spirit stands in the windowsill
Chills your spine as you say farewell
The filthy old farm calls your name
Do you know how happy you are?
Do you know how happy you are?
Do you know how happy you are? (x5)
A blinding light and you see who you are
You see who you really are
