Slow walk
It's a land mine It's a coal mine It's a bad thought I'm on my way to god don't know My brain's the burger and my heart's the coal I'm trying to get my head clear I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears I get refilled through my ears I get refilled through my ears I'm on my way to god don't know or don't care My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs My heart's the long stairs My heart's the long stairs Inland from Vancouver shores The ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward Inward and outward In this place that I call home My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo My heart's the bitter buffalo We tore one down, and erected another there The match of the century, absence versus thin air I'm on my way to god don't know My brain's the burger and my heart's the coal In this life that we call home The years go fast and the days go so slow The days go so slow The days go slow I'm on my way to god don't know My brain's the burger and my heart's the coal I'm just trying to get things clear I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears I get refilled through my ears I get refilled I'm on my way to god don't know or even care My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs My heart's the long stairs My heart's the long stairs Inland from Vancouver Shore The ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward Inward and outward In this place that I call home My brain's the cliff and my heart's the bitter buffalo My heart's the bitter buffalo They tore one down and erected another there The match of the century, absence versus thin air Absence versus thin air In this life that we call home The years go fast and the days go slow The days go so slow |

He entered the club scene All hoping, all hoping for dancing He was looking, a looking so stunning His clothes reflecting light, all right she She sat, she sat in the backseat The car was plush but had no heat And no, not no one was blushing Their technique was so damn right, all right and He read the note in the black light He thought he read minds and was not right That line still made him seem charming His clothes were shining, shining |

Well all the apostles, they're sitting in swings
Saying I'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings And some sandals With the style of straps that cling best to the era So all of the businessers in their unlimited hell Where they buy and they sell And they sell all their trash to each other But they're sick of it all and they're bankrupt on selling And all of the angels, they'd sell off your soul For a set of new wings and anything gold They remember the people they loved, their old friends And I've seen through 'em all, seen through 'em all, seen through most everything All the people you knew were the actors All the people you knew were the actors Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words And I'll talk real loud, goddamn right I'll be heard You'll remember the guy Who said all those big words he must've learned in college And it took a long time 'till I came clean with myself I come clean out of love with my lover I still love her Loved her more when she used to be sober and I was kinder |
