Does it hurt cause it's healing
we always think we're revealing
that there's something that we can do
our thoughts and hopes have a ceiling
and all of our appealing is
going nowhere for me or you
all elbows and brambles
cheating the meter
getting a hit at a time
until he drowns in his water
this machine is scheduled to break
don't catch the falling glass
while the other shards are falling
this machine is scheduled to break
please engage your oxygen mask
before assisting others
They're the ones to steal from you
to teach you a lesson
a lesson you'll never learn
it's just your turn staring
at the bottles
bottles on the table
bottles on the table don't you know who I am
take me to the one in charge
this machine is scheduled to break
don't catch the falling glass
while the other shards are falling
this machine is scheduled to break
please engage your oxygen mask
before assisting others
Pulling faces in the mirror
the mirror on the ceiling
never understood how
they find it appealing
one second on the knee
and the next second reelin'
probably best not to know today
you bought the chair that you will die in
probably best not to make it your favorite
this machine is scheduled to break
don't catch the falling glass
while the other shards are falling
this machine is scheduled to break
please engage your oxygen mask
before assisting others
this machine is scheduled to break
don't catch the falling glass
while the other shards are falling
this machine is scheduled to break
please engage your oxygen mask
before assisting others

My words were spoken, lo

your friend has got the
spellcheck working, lo
weaving an elaborate fiction
and looking around, yeah
nobody is catching on
show don't tell

show don't tell
maintain a mystery
every successful writer
every successful crook
they follow the same rule
for a caper or in a book
show don't tell
they don't give it away
show and tell
is for the getaway
I want to be with you
and I know
I have to be worth you
and I try.
I strive to be worth you,
because I want to be with you.
oooh oooh yeah

they're never gonna know
what you don't show
they're never gonna know
what you don't show
never going to know
what you don't show

Big Lonesome

They say it's the night
is the hardest time
in Big Lonesome
I say it's the day
any day, any day
that you've gone away.
They may be right.
I've certainly known some
lonely nights,
but no time Is right
when you're gone
from Big Lonesome
Big Lonesome
There's just something about the night time
when you've been
all night lonesome and down
when you were craving somebody
to talk to.
And that somebody
isn't around.
But now in the daylight
When all the people are here
Is when feel the loneliest
When you want to disappear
They say it's the night,
is the hardest time in
Big Lonesome
But I say it's the day
any day any day
since you've gone away
They may be right.
I've certainly known some
lonely nights.
But no time Is right
When you've gone
from Big Lonesome
Big Lonesome

Sick Rhymes

Thought I could make you happy
But how could I
How could I
said I would keep you safe and secure
But how could I
How could I
thought we would know each other forever
but how could I how could I
We've all forgotten someone
We've all been forgotten sometimes
We all forgot their laughter
We all forgot their sick rhymes
I should've treated you
better
How could I
How could I know
Love is hard
and life is long
How could I
How could I know
that's the story
in the song
How could I
how could I know
How could I
How could I know
How could I know

The hummingbird
comes to your door
in the dead of winter
for sugar water.
Your front porch
in every season
knows you'll be there
with sugar water
That's how you do it
That's how you do it
That's how they do it
Kind to survive
[Bridge]
There's always new guns to fight us
And new bugs to bite us
Just now you oughta
Go where the light is.
I know you're tough
now you know how
tough it is
just now you oughta
Go where your love is.
I know you're hard
but now you know how hard it is
Just now you oughta
Go where your heart is
The hummingbird
comes to your door
in the dead of winter
for sugar water.
Your front porch
in every season
knows you'll be there
with sugar water
That's how you do it
That's how you do it
That's how they do it
Kind to survive

Clementine
oranges
make a perfect porridge.
Ha You know I can tell right?
When you're not payin' attention?
Your eyes dance
all kinds of far away.
And I know.
Yes I know.
something is
on your mind,
Yes it is.
Something on your mind
Come come to me
Let me hear the story.
The why for the tears.
The why for the worry.
And I know
Yes I know
Something is on your mind
Yes it is.
Something on your mind.
And I know
Yes I know
You've got something on your mind
Yes you do
something on your mind
[Bridge]
You don't need to tell me
if I don't need to know
You can let it linger.
You can let it show.
There's nothing could ever stop me
from loving you.
if you don't have the words
to shout it.
Maybe, we can just dance about it.
And I know
Yes I know
Something is on your mind
Yes it is.
Something on your mind.
And I know
Yes I know
You've got something on your mind
Yes you do
something on your mind

The Exception
03:13
|
|

Start a bridge
start a bridge forget about it
Starve a river
starve a river forget about it
start a hunger
start a hunger forget about it
you started fury
started a fury
and now you've got it
And if it's wrong
you're hardly alone
One hand washes the other hand
the hand shapes the stone
Is it the one is it the one
is it the one is it the exception
is it the one is it the one
is it the one is it the exception
The statue maker
the sculptor is a fucking liar
but what he says
is so permanent
you rent your life
you rent your life in America
and nothing is more American
than your resentment
And if it's wrong
you're hardly alone
One hand washes the other hand
the hand shapes the stone
Is it the one is it the one
is it the one is it the exception
is it the one is it the one
is it the one is it the exception

He's selling dreams

if you're worthy selling
obituary salesman
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
do do do do do
do do do do
it's not a contradiction
all eyes on me
it's a feature not a bug son
fruit of the poison tree
trying to survive here
in the Wasteland
wrap my mind around the song
wrap that song around your mind
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
do do do do do
knock me over where I stand
just me and my one man band
the joke was always in my hand
and my jokes don't ever land
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
do do do do do do

Goodbye, Florida
02:28
|
|

The malls are dead
and the streets are tired.
The dog walkers are the
only ones out.
Try to remember why
the flags are half mast.
Happens so often
forget what it's about
Look how far we've fallen
from ourselves and what we swore
Say goodbye to yesterday.
It can't hide you no more.
That past that never existed
That place that never was
That make believe may work
on some folks sure
but on most of us it never does
Look how far we've fallen
from ourselves and what we swore
Say goodbye to yesterday.
It can’t help you no more.
Who deserves to be happy?
Who deserves to feel proud?
Who deserves to look back fondly?
Who deserves to speak their truth aloud?
Look how far we've fallen
from ourselves and what we swore
Say goodbye to yesterday,
It can’t hurt you no more.
Say goodbye to yesterday
It don’t deserve you no more.
Say goodbye to yesterday
It don’t deserve you no more.
Say goodbye to yesterday
It don’t deserve you no more.

Don't Carry the Water
02:13
|
|

So few people top the mountain
but they want you to know
that all their troubles wash
to the valley below
some people want to make
a rich man's burden
their own
but all his troubles wash
to your valley below
same as yours taught you
teach your sons and daughters
Ooh don't carry the water
don't you ever
carry the water
Ooh don't
carry the water
don't you ever
carry the water
There's no shame
in doing the scrubbing
tell your sons and your daughters
all the troubles wash
to our valley below
you get paid to do the dishes
not to carry their water
all the troubles wash
to the valley below
same as yours taught you
teach your sons and daughters
Ooh don't carry the water
don't you ever carry the water
Ooh don't carry the water
don't you ever carry the water
don't you ever carry the water
don't you ever carry the water
Ooh don't carry the water
don't you ever carry the water

Smoke in the Fog
04:34
|
|
||
|
Fingers fool the skin
promises unspoken
always getting broken
over and over again
So, my little solace,
where have you been?
You walk like a sleeper
and you sleep like a dog.
You talk like a preacher
as you grasp in the fog.
Not knowing ain't no sin.
I can smell smoke in the fog
Some fire is lit somewhere.
Smoke in the fog
Smell smoke in the fog
someplace, somewhere.
Smoke in the fog.
Smoke in the fog.
Smoke in the fog.
