Lying there
With a halo in her hair she cried
There are feathers everywhere
But it’s fine
You do this all the time
Crying now
Through a rusted smile she knows
This isn’t how he paid the bills before
Drug farm entrepreneur
Go spin circles for me
Wound relentlessly
Around the words we used to sling
Oh, such torturous things
Always chewing up the only ones
I ever mean
If you’re goin’, then go
Go go go
If you’re goin’, then go
Go go go
Watch love
Get strangled by a kite’s cold strings
Fall comes early and summer leaves
As a storm with the car keys
Spark your heels
Up against the picket fence I built
All your wishes they will sink like stones
Slowly down a lonely well
Go spin circles for me
Wound relentlessly
Around the words we used to sling
Oh, such torturous things
Always chewing up the only ones
I ever mean
If you’re goin’, then go
Go go go
If you’re goin’, then go
Go go go

This town just wasn’t made for two
But when the streets they call my name, what can I do?
There’s a place I’d like to visit there someday
And if you decline my invitation, what can I say?
What can I say?
What can I say?
When the corner light is dimmed upon the street
And all the faces looked confused on those you meet
Tell your friends that I’ll be dead when you read this
Tell them I couldn’t take the pain of loneliness
Of loneliness
Of loneliness
I am feeling low
And I’m singing in my sleep when you’re around, will you comfort me?
I’ll dream of you
And the smile that you give, to me
You give to me
You give to me
It’s the same thing everyday
Because we run out of things to say
If you’re gone and me not here
It kind of sheds a different light on the whole year
On the whole year
On the whole year
I am feeling good
And I’m singing in my sleep when you’re around, will you comfort me?
I’ll dream of you
And the smile that you give, to me
You give to me
You give to me
You give to me

(Here we come)
Oh, how it’s been so long,
We’re so sorry we’ve been gone,
We were busy writing songs for you.
Oh, how it’s been so long,
We’re so sorry we’ve been gone,
We were busy writing songs for…
You don’t have to worry
‘Cause we’re still the same
(We’re still the same)
Band.
You don’t have to worry,
You don’t have to worry,
You don’t.
You don’t have to worry,
You don’t have to worry,
You don’t.
Oh, how it’s been so long,
We’re so sorry we’ve been gone,
We were busy writing songs for you.

She held the world upon a string
But she didn’t ever hold me
Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
Cause she couldn’t ever have me
She said she won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
Cause she couldn’t ever catch me
I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, just see the sky
I don’t love you I’m just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream
The sun was always in her eyes
She didn’t even see me
But that girl had so much love
she’d wanna kiss you all the time
Yeah, she’d wanna kiss you all the time
She said she won the world at a carnival
But I’m sure I didn’t ruin her
Just made her more interesting
I’m sure I didn’t ruin her
Just made her more interesting
I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, I just see the sky
I don’t love you I’m just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream

(Go on)
Innocence
Sunk the glow and drowned in covers
Send for all your absent lovers things
Sheepish wolves
Looking lived-in, eating buttons
Wink, just don’t put your teeth on me
(Go on)
Accidents
Let the evening in the back door
Filled the room
Ceiling to the floor
Beat backbones
Grazed the poem and made it strange
I wasn’t born to be a skeleton
(Go on)
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
(Go on)
Jealous orchard
The sky is falling off the ceiling
While I’m tucking fibs into a cookie jar
{Bombed} reverie
It’s useless searching in the cupboards
When everything you have is on your back
(Go on)
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
[x2]
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
(Go on)
Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens

Clouds are marching along, singing a song, just like they do.
If the clouds were singing a song, I’d sing along, wouldn’t you too?
If you just knew what they could do.
Oh, if you just knew, what would they do?
And if the birds are just hollow words flying along, singing a song,
What would they do?
If they just knew what they could do.
Oh, if they just knew.
I know it’s sad that I never gave a damn about the weather,
And it never gave a damn about me.
I know it’s sad that I never gave a damn about the weather,
And it never gave a damn about me.
No, it never gave a damn about me.
I know it’s mad, but if I go to hell
Will you come with me or just leave?
I know it’s mad, but if the world were ending
Would you kiss me or just leave me?
Just leave me?
Clouds are singing a song, marching along, just like they do.
If the clouds were playing a song, I’d play along, wouldn’t you too?
If you just knew what they could do.

What would they do?
If they just knew what we could do.

And it never gave a damn about me.
No, it never gave a damn about me. (so, so sad)

Oh, well imagine, as I’m pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can’t help but to hear, no I can’t help but to hear an exchanging of words:
“What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!” says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
“And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom’s bride is a whore.”
I chime in with a “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in, “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of…
Well in fact, well I’ll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I’ll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne

I chime in, “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
Again…

Our daydream spills from my corked head
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left a nod over sleeping waves
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candle swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds
The men all played along to marching drums
and boy did they have fun behind the sea
They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks
and we’re all too small to talk to god
Yes, we’re all too smart to talk to god”
Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
to us from the dock.
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
through tiny cracks in the boardwalk.
Scarecrow now it’s time to hatch
sprouting suns and ageless daughters.
Those watermelon smiles just can’t ripen underwater
Just can’t ripen underwater
The men all played along to marching drums
and boy did they have fun behind the sea
They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks
and we’re all too small to talk to god
Yeah, we’re all too smart to talk to god
oh, we’re all too smart to talk to god”

Oh, little did she know
Couldn’t let me go
Already a part of her
So, often do I need
People in between
That just can’t get a hold of it
So we’ll just sing it for them
Ahhh
Yeah, we’ll just sing it for them
(Just can’t get a hold of it)
So we’ll just sing it for them
Ahhh
Yeah, we’ll just sing it
It’s the greatest thing that’s yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It’s the greatest thing you’d ever imagine
But you’ll never know until you’re there
No, you’ll never know until you’re there
Slow, leave walking to the world
Give your feet a chance
They’ll do all the thinking
Toast, high until they find
Less pathetic wine
Until they get a better blend
And we’ll just drink it for them
Ahhh
Yeah we’ll just drink it for them
(Until they get a better blend)
So we’ll just drink it for them
Ahhh
Yeah we’ll just drink it
It’s the greatest thing that’s yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It’s the greatest thing you’d ever imagine
But you’ll never know until you’re there
No, you’ll never know until you’re there
It’s the greatest thing that’s yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It’s the greatest thing you’d ever imagine
But you’ll never know until you’re there
No, you’ll never know until you’re there
No, you’ll never know until you’re there

If all our life is but a dream
Fantastic posing greed
Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea
For diamonds do appear to be
Just like broken glass to me
And then she said she can’t believe
Genius only comes along
In storms of fabled foreign tongues
Tripping eyes, and flooded lungs
Northern downpour sends its love
Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don’t you go down
Sugarcane in the easy mornin’
Weathervanes my one and lonely
The ink is running toward the page
It’s chasin’ off the days
Look back at boat feet
And that winding knee
I missed your skin when you were east
You clicked your heels and wished for me
Through playful lips made of yarn
That fragile Capricorn
Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves
I know the world’s a broken bone
But melt your headaches, call it home
Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don’t you go down
Sugarcane in the easy mornin’
Weathervanes my one and lonely
[x3]
Sugarcane (hey moon) in
(Hey moon) the easy mornin’
Weathervanes (hey moon) my
(Hey moon) one and lonely
Sugarcane (hey moon) in (hey moon)
The easy (hey moon) mornin’
Weathervanes (hey moon) my (hey moon)
One (hey moon) and lonely
[Continues in background:]
Sugarcane (hey moon) in (hey moon)
The easy (hey moon) mornin’
Weathervanes (hey moon) my (hey moon)
One (hey moon) and lonely
Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don’t you go down
You are at the top of my lungs
Drawn to the ones who never yawn
[x2]
