Let Me Find You
01:29
|
|||
|
if you're running around the world
watching flags of foreign lands unfurl
let me find you
if you're playing hide and seek
praying god somehow your soul to speak
let me find you
i don't wanna be the one to let you go
but how would i know
when all you ever do is go

once upon a prom queen
there lived an undulating dream
the lights along the city streets
lit up her nascent circuitry
but i shouldn't complain
it's been a long day
since i've seen lorraine
a promise and a daydream
is not the way to scrub her clean
a life among the pine trees
is not within her color scheme
getting carried on the slipstream of her town
with such a thing as gravity to pull her down
getting carried on the jetstream out of town
with such a thing as entropy to slow her down

The Millionaire Brides
02:19
|
|||
|
high on a hill
a millionaire's bride
turned to the side
and then she disappeared
they've been searching now for years
to sweeten the deal
they set loose the others
sisters and mothers
the millionaire brides
we would kill for just a little taste
of what you throw away
every day
nobody cries
for the millionaire brides
in the impenetrable fortress
playing at a renegade's game
nobody cries
for the millionaire brides
waking up to reality
we see right through the charade
nobody cries
nobody moans or sighs
nobody cries
for the millionaire brides

Bazooka Joe

|
oh no bazooka joe
batten down the hatches
and off we go
trust the man of action
trust the bubblegum faction
wham bam mr. jam
sliding down the banister
and here i am
oh no bazooka joe
jumps into the river
but the river says no
take your vital armor
into the battlefield of sons and martyrs
trust the man of action...

Strong Silent Type

maybe baby
you will make it in the next life
fortune fame and
maybe baby
just a little taste of the sweet life
busted dreams they fall like leaves
they scatter in the moonlight
you can paint your masterpiece
in your spare time
honey at least you tried
maybe baby
you will find a map to your own stars
set controls and
maybe baby
save your words for poems and postcards
and don't waste time checking your mailbox
for love from afar
i wouldn't count on that kind of love
to keep you alive
honey it's no surprise
nobody gets it right on the first try

Shelf Life
01:33
|
|||
|
shelf life is getting to me
nothing much for ornaments like us to see
but i know i know
where else would i go
life among the books and plants
wondering when i'm gonna make it to the dance
but i know i know
where else would i go
i know i know
my role is to blend into the scenery
but i know i know
something in this world is calling out to me
huddled masses yearning to breathe
if breath is life then what do you expect of me

Handsome Jim Stonehenge
03:19
|
|||
|
when you find your world in disarray
you can always go where the sun shines through
the ancient gateway
you know they say the countenance divine
shone upon the hills in the time before us
you're in the presence of a love sublime
give it up for handsome jim stonehenge
he's a big deal around here
smile wide for handsome jim stonehenge
he's legendary
if i could bend the world into shape
i'd send light from every distant star
to shine on you
tell me everything you wanna do
every dream you've ever had can come true

the world is alive
if you've got eyes to see it
and the world'll be alright
if you know who to believe in
and get behind
we're all waiting for you to shine
i can hum and i can whistle
all i'm missing is the tune
you can sing and serenade
all the ghosts trapped in your room
til the end of time
we're all waiting for you to shine
should've saved my worry
for this moment coming up
i studied facts and figures
but the truth just ain't enough
to set things right
we're all waiting for you to shine
you can grab em by the collar
you can shake em til they drop
you can rattle off citations
but it just won't hit the spot
or settle the fight
we're all waiting for you to shine
the world is alive
if you've got eyes to see it
and the world will survive
if you know how to lead it
but in the meantime...

Lady Gravity
01:55
|
|||
|
i'm better than average
sharper than most
don't fuck with the whiz kid
don't ask me no questions
it just is what it is kid
i'm looking for the answers
digging for gold
at the bottom of the canyon
nothing much left to find
only rock walls to climb
but you come to me
in the key of c
with the light in your eyes
like there was something special about me
and you come to me
lady gravity
with the world in your arms
and then you held it out and handed it to me
like there was anything special about me

Can't Feel My Mind
03:13
|
|||
|
better homes for better living
carpets windows curtains lamps
humble nights for better mornings
shirts and ties
we used to write our manifestos
on the walls in colored ink
we the people flawed and fractured
proud and wise
don't you tell me this is winning
feels like life got in the way of living
all this and no surprises
i can't feel my mind
all this and no surprises
i can't feel my mind
but i was one of a kind
once upon a time
looking back through walls and windows
former selves turning to shadows
here i thought the wound had all but healed
