Ring Twice
Everybody wants an invitation
Ring twice evidently no one's home
Sweaty maple like a meditation
Ring twice evidently no one's home
Mesh rhyme with reason is a notary stone
Best time of season is when nobody's home
Everytime I get less I want more
Everytime I get less than
Everybody wants a celebration
Ring twice evidently no one's home
Grain of salt is like a purification
Seaside everbody omits time to go
Ring high evidently starts the show
Meantime everbody commits try and try
Fly by setting it back works the go
Seaside everbody commits
Meantime everybody omits
Seaside everybody commits
Meantime everybody omits
Time to go.
Hello
Hello
She has the smile of perfect splendor
She'll let you think that you can win her
Broken beauty wearing superglue
She lies so good and she believes them too
Hello hello
Hello Hello
She's got a checkered reputation
Lives two lives in syncopation
Fractured fairy on the funny page
Southern belle she's on a northern stage
Hello hello
Hello hello
She has it right
She lives two lives
Say the list is long
Call the missing song
Shit can even follow you underground
Everybody
Loves My Car
Broken records play
Shoes left out all day
Trips were started left departed
To rise another day
Sing a wish for free
Pays the rent for me
Sun's reflection needs reception
To rise another day
Everybody loves my car
Everybody loves my car
Plant the seed decay
I long to move away
Shoot the gun now let me run
To rise another day
Living out of time is the best for me
Freedom in my head fills the rest of me
How 'bout you?
Peeling
An Orange
Can't stand the grocery store
Are there orchards anymore
Blow up the breakwater
Still water breeds disease
You got what you want
Give us back the trees
If I gotta live here I gotta breathe
Peeling an orange I am expecting Great sweetness
Peeling an orange, yes I am very optimistic
Sometimes the acid stings my eyes
Building a house from mud
'cause it's already dead
I think of her when she's smiling
When she alone inside my head
You got what you want,
give her back to me
If she's gonna be free,
I got a reason for her to be with me
So
Long
Settle down you know you got a ways to go
Moving slowly gets you by
Settle down now - You'll be around now
After all your flowers die
Trees grow from the silence of the earth
and never speak
Thoughts that come from underneath are pure and never weak
And you have lived for so long
You have lived for so long
Have regrets you will, it's only natural
Have them till the day you die
Having doubts now,
You'll come about now
Birds always fall before they fly
Wash
Me Down
Once I was a fine man
Until I met the woman
And then she washed me down
And once I was a dry man
Till they took me to a wedding
You know they washed me down
You can wash me
You can wash me down
Heaven has no windows
'Cause heaven has no walls
Because they wash 'em down
The wind blows me in the corner
And it pulls me down the hill
You know it pulls me down down
You know it throws me down
You can wash me
You can wash me down
End
Of The World
End of the world's coming
Because I broke your heart
End of the world's coming
Before I got a start
End of the world's coming
Because we've gone to far
End of the world's coming
'Cause I thought I was a star
End of the world's coming
And I've forgotten to confess
Now they've saving all the rest
Good Mary bless my soul now
'Cause you know God the best
You know God the best
And you know God the best
And I can see it coming
Moods are growing dark
TV says it's not coming
But we know who they are
End of the world's coming
'Cause I use it everyday
End of the world's coming
'Cause I scuffed my shoes that way
John
I sit at home 'cause I'm able
I sing out loud but complain in the same old way
I shake the tree of a fable
She sells me lies but she sings on anyway
I live alone at the stable
Betting twice 'cause the numbers say I'm wrong
I've rolled the tree 'cause I'm able
I've burned the mountain to prove that they all were wrong
What's in a story ?
What's in a name?
Who makes you hurry ?
What cuts the frame?
John where have you gone ?
We've waited so long
where have you gone?
Has something gone wrong ?
We've waited so long
Where have you gone?
I sit alone 'cause I'm able
I live out life but complain in the same old way
I shake the tree that was stable
She sells me lies but she sings on anyway
Behind
Painted numbers and sonic slumbers
Fool who thinks he knows it
but can't show the way he really feels
Goodbye wavers and penny savers
Fool who thinks he knows it
but can't show the way he really feels
I hear them laughing
I hear them laughing
All the times have I stumbled before
Growing weeds through the holes in the floor
Behind
Planted favors and absent saviors
Fool who thinks he knows it
but can't show the way he really feels
Morning
Girl
She seems so far away she could sleep through
World War III
And if they ever start I'd rather be that girl than me
The first part of the day she is pleasently sedated
She says she likes to go where the hate is separated
Reality's overrated
Soda pop religion on line
I must remain in dreamland
Just to have a regular life
She lives, she lives
Morning girl she is
Never seen the morning star
Never heard me slam the door
She must be dreaming good yeah
She knows what dreams are for
Hide
I wouldn't wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
I wouldn't wanna make you feel uncomfortable
Only wanna tell you
how much you make me feel
But I wouldn't wanna make you feel uncomfortable
I got a feeling we're holding back the tide
I got a feeling we may never show
All the love we hide
Will soon be mine
Long time ago
I wouldn't wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
I wouldn't wanna make you feel invulnerable
Only wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
But I wouldn't wanna make you feel invulnerable
What I feel is what I fear Is
what I feel is what I fear
Fill
The Fields
I wish I could write a song just for you
I don't know how
It's when you're away these walls show years
I do know why
One hundred eyes have opened on you
Where do you sleep
It's when I'm alone at the end of your feet
I do know why
Tomorrow it's better to know you have said
Tomorrow show something else instead
Remember the dream you told me you had
Now was it me
It's when I'm awake with a shrug at the day
The sun will shine
How many knees have prayed in this house
Now was it me
When I was away, just before time
I let them all
Fill the fields fill the noise
You've shown better than this before
Fill the fields fill the noise
Let them shuffle around this town
