Do you believe you've really found a way
To leave the planet Earth and cruise the Milky Way?
Have you heard it's all in your mind?
Leave you body on your bed and leave the earth behind
All these little voices tell me what to say
But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they
Or do you believe you've really got it made
A house on a hill a down payment on your grave
Have you heard it's all in your head
Do blind men dream in color? Is red really red?
All these little voices they tell me what to say
But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they

Tired Horse

We'll see how it goes
Get a little honey and you get a little closer
Friends are your foes
It doesn't really matter if they think you're just a poseur
When your heart breaks
It's time to take your tired horse and go.
Do what you do
Taking your time and makin' a connection
Book of who's who
Didn't get your name when making their selection
The days aren't all blue
It's time to bail your leaky boat and row
Knock on that door
You ain't coming in no matter if you holler
Rich man or poor
Gotta have a buck if he wanna to make a dollar
Who is it for
Anybody here can spare a dime. Most of the time.
We're talking trash
We got a lot to say and you're gonna get an earful
Under the lash
Itty bitty sheeple looking terrified and tearful
Your hearth turns to ash
Can anybody tell my why it rhymes. With nursery crymes

She said I've something to say
It's gonna 'cause you pain
But I'm leaving today
We've already been the roundabout
Too many circles I'm gettin' out
Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core
Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore
You never understood
We weren't just gettin' by
The money's so good
And now when the times are bad
Living the good life should make you glad
Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core
Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore
Even now when the times are bad
Living the good life should make you glad
She said I've something to say
It's gonna 'cause you pain
But I'm leaving today
We've already been the roundabout
Too many circles I'm gettin' out
Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core
Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore
Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core
Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore

Lamplight

Lamplight here I am standing in your shadow again
Lamplight how well I know all that glitters it isn't gold
Once I had money more than that I had a house on a hill
There in my house surrounded by things
It was my castle and I was the king
Lamplight but there I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight I'm here to tell you can drown face down in a wishing will
Once I had a girl more than that
she was my whole world
We used to dance the whole night through
And not once did I think of you Lamplight
But here I am standing in your shadow again
Lamplight I gotta run you can't regret
What you haven't done Lamplight
Lamplight there I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight I gotta say it must be my unlucky day
Once I had money more than that
I had a house on a hill
It was my castle and I was the king
Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy
Lamplight I'm here to tell you can drown face down in a wishing well
Lamplight here I am leaning on your lampost again
Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy
Lamplight there I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight I gotta run you can't regret what you haven't done
Once I had a girl more than that
She was my whole world
We used to dance the whole night through
And not once did I think of you
Lamplight here I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy
Lamplight o talk to me Lamplight
You're just standing there staring Lamplight

People Die Everyday
04:30
|

She had everything she ever wanted
She had everything she'd ever need
Pockets full of daddy's cash
Nothing left but smoke and ash
Forty miles up county road seven
Forty miles under ice and snow
Pray to God she got to heaven
No one here will ever know
People Die Everyday
People in cars and buses
People in tanks and planes
Drowning in the water
Burning in the flames
People Die Everyday
If you feel your body falling
And your life spirit drifts away
You'll hear the voices calling
You'll hear an angel say
People Die Everyday.ave the planet Earth and cruise the Milky Way?
Have you heard it's all in your mind?
Leave you body on your bed and leave the earth behind
All these little voices tell me what to say
But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they
Or do you believe you've really got it made
A house on a hill a down payment on your grave
Have you heard it's all in your head
Do blind men dream in color? Is red really red?
All these little voices they tell me what to say
But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they

Trouble Comes In Threes
03:58

Trouble trouble comes in threes
Triple trouble comes to me
Darkness darkness I can see
First go to and then go down
South to west to all around
Darker trouble can be found
Darkness darkness I can see
Triple trouble come to me
Trouble trouble comes in threes
spoken:
We were sitting on the couch breeding
The television set blinking in our eyes
When out of the darkness cam a third voice

Fractured Past
03:24
|

She waits at the edge of a strange new world
And strikes at indecision
Her every change of heart
Brings a change of mind
The rythmn of an everlasting roar
At land's end
Where the ocean meetst the sand
Riding the sky on a rising tide
And scattered on a beach for knowing hope
Flies the wind of an growing storm
Breaking on the coastal water
Churning her tears into whirlpools
Trickling through a quickly closing bottleneck in time
Turning her back on the forested land
She wades out to the tide pools'
And strokes the sea anenomies.

Did you hear what I said

You ought to know what I said
I said I Baby Yeah
B-b-b-b-b-b-baby!
Oh Yeah!

Falling in a trance
What I want to do
Fire in my pants
For the ladies that you use
Mr Lacy Furs (4 times)
Pentagramma spin
Bolted to the floor
Mr Lacy Furs
Is standing at the door
Walking in my mind
Stepping on my soul
Got me in a bind
Leave me in a hole
Someone on the outside
Drags me from the inside
Scattered on the moontide
Waiting by the seaside
Mr Lacy Furs

The Man Who Had No Idea
08:32
|
|||
Let me take you in my confidence
Its a complimentary pain
We can dig a private hole to crawl in
Quietly reeling in the silences
A broken gender full of promises
I'll write a flesh pentameter
On the sofa with your spouse
Cradling an object of desire
Speaking conversationally about
Mothers, bombers and cows
You can cover the continent
With a hardwood dancing floor
And it won't matter
Not one bit
I can only wonder
What was there before
I had no idea you'd come with a scream
