Nothing As It Seems
Don't feel like home,... he's a little out,... And all these words elope,... it's nothing like your poem,... Putting in,... inputting in,... don't feel like methadone,... A scratching voice,... all alone,... it's nothing like your baritone,... It's nothing as it seems,... the little that he needs,... it's home. The little that he sees,... is nothing. He concedes,... It's home. One uninvited chromosome,... a blanket like the ozone. It's nothing as it seems, all that he needs,... it's home. The little that he frees,... is nothing, he believes,... Saving up a sunny day,... Something maybe two tone,... Anything to call his own,... a chip off the cornerstone,... Who's kidding rainy day,... a one way ticket headstone,... Occupations overthrown,... whisper through a megaphone,... It's nothing as it seems,... the little that he needs,... it's home,... The little that he sees,... is nothing. He concedes,... it's home,... And all that he frees,... a little bittersweet,... it's home. It's nothing as it seems,... the little that you see,... it's home. |

Light Years
I've used hammers made out of wood I have played games with pieces and rules,... I've deciphered tricks at the bar,... But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why,... I've come up with riddles,... and jokes about war,... I've figured out numbers and what they're for,... I've understood feelings,... and I've understood words,... But how could you be taken away?... And wherever you've gone,... and wherever we might go,... It don't seem fair,... today just disappeared,... Our lights reflected now,... reflected from afar,... We were but stones,... your light made us stars. With heavy breath,... awakened regrets,... Backpages and days alone that could have been spent,... Together,... but we were,... miles apart,... Every inch between us becomes light years now,... No time to be void,... or save up on life,... Got to spend it all,... And wherever you've gone,... and wherever we might go,... It don't seem fair,... you seem to like agian,... our lights reflected now,... reflected from afar,... We were but stones,... your light made us stars. And wherever you've gone,... and wherever we might go,... It don't seem fair,... days just dissapear,... Our lights reflected now,... reflected from afar,... We were but stones,... your light made us stars. |

I know about a man to whom I may be related, he's leatherman.
Died a long time ago in the 1880's...leatherman, leatherman. Covered with leather, but it wasn't tight. Underneath the moon in the woods at night... Makin' the rounds ten miles a day, Once a month they'd spot him, here's what they'd say... "Here he comes, he's a man of the land. He's leatherman. Smile on his face, an axe in his pack. He's leatherman." Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed. Wasn't known to say but "Thanks for the bread." So modern day I walk my way, my jacket faded, Just like a man of leather whom I may be related. Rolled a cigarette, but when he asked for a light, I thought he'd be an animal, but so polite. Makin' the rounds ten miles a day. Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say... "Here he comes, he's a man of the land, he's leatherman. Smile on his face, an axe in his hand. He's leatherman." Shake his hand he's leatherman. Bake some bread he's leatherman. Shame he's dead. I saw his bed, It's all that's left of leatherman. Give me some skin, leatherman. |

Sleight Of Hand
routine was the theme, he'd wake up and...wash and pour himself into uniform something he hadn't imagined being... as the merging traffic passed, he found himself staring, down, at his own hands.. not remembering the change, not recalling the plan, was it...? he was okay, but wondering about wandering was it age? by consequence? or was he moved by sleight of hand? mondays were made to fall, lost on a road he knew by heart it was like a book he read in his sleep, endlessly... sometimes he hid in his radio, watching others pull into their homes while he was drifting... on a line, of his own, off the line, on the side by the by, as dirt turned to sand, as if moved by sleight of hand when he reached the shore of his clip-on world he resurfaced to the norm organized his few things, his coat and keys... any new realizations would have to wait til he had more time, more time... time to dream, to himself he waves goodbye, to himself I'll see you on the other side... another man...moved by sleight of hand... |

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out.
A bad time nothing could save him. Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out. He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles. He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree. The wind rose up set him down on his knee. A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw. Deliver him wings, ″Hey look at me now!″ Arms wide open with the sea as his floor. Oh, power, oh. He′s flying whole. High, wide, oh. He floated back down cause he wanted to share. This key to the locks, on the chains, he saw everywhere. But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed by faceless men. Well fuckers, he still stands. And he still gets his love he just gives it away. The love he receives is the love that is saved. And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly. I′m flying, oh. High flying, oh. He′s flying, oh. High, oh, oh. |

Under my breath...I swear by sin... For better or for worse...a best we began... Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last...shed...shed...

She lived on the curve in the road
In an old tar paper shack. On the south side of the town On the wrong side of the tracks. Sometimes on the way into town We'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?" Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side. Wild eyed Crazy Mary. Down the long dirt road Past the Parson's place. That old blue car We used to race. Little country store with a sign tacked to the side. Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.' Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass it a... A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside my windowsill. Dreamed I was flying High above the trees, over the hills. Looked down into the house of Mary. Terrible thoughts, newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all. Oh... Oh... Oh... Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks and followed them around. Over the curve, Through the fields, Into the house of Mary. That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2) Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass it a... Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. Oh, pass it a... Pass it arround. Pass it a... Pass it a... Pass it a... Oh yeah. |

I've got you, and that's all I want.
I won't forget, 'cause that's a whole lot. When something's wrong, I feel uneasy. You show me, tell me you're not teasin'. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. Look at you, you're a pageant. You're everything that I've imagined. I don't go out, now that you're here. Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. There's no doubt, but when I'm with you. When I'm without, I stay in my room. Where do you go? I get no answer. You're always out, it gets on my nerves... I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened. You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying. |
