Fluorescent lights engage
Blackbirds frying on a wire Same birds that followed me to school When I was young Were they trying to tell me something Were they telling me to run The hammer clicks in place The world's gonna pay Right down in the face of God and his saints Claim your soul's not for sale I'm a dying breed who still believes Haunted by American dreams Haunted by American dreams |

He led you to this hiding place
His lightening threats spun silver tongues The red bells beckon you to ride A handprint on the driver's side It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small And Popsicles in the summer Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done It always has to come this Red bells ring this tragic gun Lost sight of the overpass The daylight won't remember her When speckled fronds raise round your bones Who took the time to fold your clothes Who shook the Valley of the Shadow Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Where does this mean world cast its cold eye Who's left to suffer long about you Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag Past empty lots and early graves Those like you who lost their way Murdered on the interstate While the red bells rang like thunder Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done Deep red bells, deep as I've been done |

How's hope feeling today
Tired and sick of this place Red wine is fast At the lip of your glass Saying I'm going to ruin Everything Everything So its better my sweet That we hover like bees 'Cause there's no sure footing No love, I believe |

What?
Stars can't fight city lights They've turned their backs on us It's true today, I saw it from the plane Aeroplanes were never built to fly Down down down down... Don't look down Don't look now Crosshairs of our shadow trace the dam Told that there were people trapped alive Boulder City looks like coals in the fire Cabin's perched by satellites And now it's flying down We've got a lady pilot She's not afraid to die It's true today, I saw it from the plane We've almost finished reeling in the sky Power lines once laced the heavens Pima County looks like coals in the fire... |

When I'm walkin' under stars
I covet all the waning hours All the lonely houses stand like monuments To thieves When I'm walkin' in the dark I'm free to covet all I want You've made it all so very dangerous I can't stay away When I'm walkin' under trees I'm free to covet all I please New moons in the alley And it's madness calls to me Tonight, tonight, tonight... If I meet you in the night You're free to covet all you like Don't you try and stop me I cling tightly...to this life |

When you tire of all the bright lights
Haste that's killing and you're willing to stay home nights When your feet are back on the solid ground Look for me, I'll be around When the new crowd starts to bore you Just remember there is someone to adore you When you're weary of nights out on the town Look for me, I'll be around May not seem exciting the way those others do I'm emotion, my devotion You will need some day as I need you When the kicks go that it brings you You will hanker for an anchor just to cling to When you've lived it up till it's got you down Look for me, look for me Look for me, I'll be around |

Rain falls, I fix my eyes
Let go of the focus and I blur out all the lines Just to remember, remember Crying 'cause it's not my fault Water through my lashes look just like Christmas lights And I still remember, remember Cold and shivering Cold and shivering Cold and shivering warm Sing please, rock me to sleep Quiet as a canyon up under heaven's eaves I surrender, surrender Downstairs the furnace swells Safe from all the horrors in your stinging velvet arms And I surrender, surrender Cold and shivering Cold and shivering Cold and shivering warm |

Pretty girls
You're too good for this How you break my heart In this cold waiting room Oh my pretty girls You're too good for this Don't let them tell you you're nothing Don't let them break your hearts too The TV is blaring and angry As if you don't know why you're here Those who walk without sin are so hungry Don't let the wolves in pretty girls Your hearts are so tried and so innocent Wind your flimsy blue gowns tight around you Around curves so comely and sinister They blame it on you pretty girls Oh pretty girls You're too good for this How you break my heart In this cold waiting room Oh my pretty girls You're too good for this Don't let them tell you you're nothing Don't let them break your hearts too My girls you're just like the heavens Not a soul to take your hand in theirs Your tears and wild constellations Broad limbs and hard folding chairs But there's millions to count you and keep you And lovers that don't understand Don't let them tell you you're nothing 'Cause you'll change the world pretty girls Come chain yourself 'round my ankle You'll see the world like a bird Diving down low Flying up high Through all of these saccharine gutters We'll ride and I Won't say that I told you so Won't say that I told you so Won't say that I told you so Won't say that I told you so |

I have lightning
If the stars dry out to guide me I have soft clay To knit my bones astride What a miracle they say Dark clouds gather Velvet holes Gaping wide oh And they pour it down And they sing to me Of wonders Unseen Like clouds that rise From the sea, oh And I'm sorry I'm so sorry That I missed the point Of this pageantry But I'm grateful That you love me |

Fast train
Where do your passengers wait What's at the heart of your engine's rage To what smooth place at the end of the line With crackling fires and quiet plains Do the trees bend down Fold their limbs round you Welcome home faithful one We forgive you Slow down fast train Slow down fast train Take me with you |

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins As numb as I've become I'm so tired I wish I was the moon tonight Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name 'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same I'm so lonely I wish I was the moon tonight God blessed me, I'm a free man With no place free to go I'm paralyzed and collared-tight No pills for what I fear This is crazy I wish I was the moon tonight Chimney falls and lovers blaze Thought that I was young Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins As numb as I've become I'm so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight How will you know if you found me at least 'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one With my heart in my lap I'm so tired, I'm so tired I wish I was the moon tonight |
