You're a pony that's OK
I don't need to see you Tied up to a hitching gate That would only break you The light pours in Onto our skin We have the power to begin When all we want is the world I'm a zebra that's all right All I see is black and white When it comes to being gray Well I won't stand in the way The light pours in And out of our furnace We have the power just to turn Turn into gods turn into heroes The light pours in Onto our skin We have the power to begin When all we want is the world |

Heavenly heavenly what other words
Could I use to describe The heavenly ivory touch of your hand As it covers my eyes Hushing me off to sleep Putting my mind at ease Lovingly lovingly every caress That you ever gave All of you knowing me like no one else At the end of the day Brushing my fears away Knowing just what to say Heavenly heavenly no other love Was meant to be mine The perfectly heavenly stars up above Were duly aligned I had to wait for you Now that my search is through Heavenly heavenly |

I've been seeking affirmations
All night long oh and What I'm feeling in my heart it Can't be wrong no Sir I keep squinting for something I might have Done hair different it's all up for grabs Lord I've been squinting as though through a keyhole Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more I done read all of the cards and I Saw my fate waiting Like a chauffeur down at the airport it Holds my name up but I keep squinting for something I might have Just overlooked but there ain't no turning back I've been squinting as though through a keyhole Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more Folks around me they keep stepping In my shoes oh but They don't fit right and they don't walk The way I do oh and All the garbage trucks a rolling Down my street slowly I can barely strain away to Hear myself think ah I keep squinting for something I might have Done hair different it's all up for grabs Lord I've been squinting as though through a keyhole Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more |

Mmm mum is the word
Numb is a better word So haven't you heard Luke the Drifter and me Who wrote us a song Too lonesome to sing Not on this side of the dial Not on this short wave Buster Keaton and I Danced down on the window seal Ten stores high If one night you take to walking Way up off the ground Do yourself a favor Don't look down I keep falling back to earth Just as I am floating high Luke the Drifter and me Thumbed us a ride Down the highway of dreams Once you're out beyond the city This old road gets dark Lose your barrens And forget where you are I keep falling back to earth Just as I am floating high Very high high high |

All these rats are swimmin' for the land
They ain't goin' down with the captain Same old rats that took a bite outa' me Darling way back when the word was mutiny Nothin' but a raft to carry me and my girl They just wrote us off Till we turned up blazing torches on their docks One night we're gonna' burn 'em down And the same goes for those who underestimate Said the love of my life was just another blind date You know I hardly had a single word edgewise Before the true believers started to drop like flies But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way You think with so many words of wisdom they could fill up a library But one night I'd have to burn it down One night I'd have to burn it down I can think of at least fourteen ways to disappear No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm in the minority here But why must all the horrible people have all the cheer Blue green grass is standing somewhere still I know it is even if it's over landfill I got to think that there's still a tiny patch To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars That plummet now and then And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again One night gonna burn it down One night we're gonna burn it down |

(One two three
One two three) Oh what a colorful lie Leading me on Without ever batting an eye How many pecks on the cheek Before I get wind That I'm on a losing streak Yeah too many for me Too many for me Darlin' I'm folding I'm tired of holding Onto a love untrue Darlin' I'm folding I lay down my hand And walk away from you Oh what a painful lament Knowing what was And not knowing where it went Destiny beckoned my name Drew me to you But destiny loves to play games Yeah loves to play games Darlin' I'm folding I'm tired of holding Onto a love untrue Darlin' I'm folding I lay down my hand And walk away from you I'll walk away it's true For I keep breaking this promise Breaking this promise Darlin' I'm folding I'm tired of holding Onto a love untrue Darlin' I'm folding I lay down my hand And walk away from you |

World you are a mill
Do you grind away until Every grain of life is tilled Girl you're like a running stream And every line I've tossed you've washed it clean Upon the shore you're headed for the sea There's a peace that I've always found In a lonesome serenade Such a piece of mind overwhelms As my every desire's replayed Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade Rowed on paddle boats In a past of mine I've never known On a lake of polished stone Take us far away To an island where she can't be swayed By another man's embrace There's a peace that I've always found In a lonesome serenade Such a piece of mind overwhelms As my every desire's replayed Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade Warmed when you become Reckon all that growin' pains you some Still you smile what's done is done There's a peace that I've always found In a lonesome serenade Such a piece of mind overwhelms As my every desire's replayed Oh oh oh like a lonesome serenade |

There's a tug at my heart
Like a rope it's pulling Out on the horizon But I've no way of knowing Where to start Nothing is for sure no sleep still in my eyes Fumbling for the door oh she doesn't like to face the morning light Nothing is for sure oh as I begin my day Glasses are a blur as my world's about to spin the other way Staring at the ceiling I can see to heaven But only when I'm willing So I pray for the strength To begin again again Nothing is for sure no sleep still in my eyes Fumbling for the door oh she doesn't like to face the morning light Nothing is for sure oh as I begin my day Glasses are a blur as my world's about to spin the other way Spin me the other way I've got to learn not to say always Spin me the other way People on the other half got no worries Nothing is for sure no sleep still in my eyes Fumbling for the door oh she doesn't like to face the morning light Nothing is for sure no as I begin my day Glasses are a blur as my world's about to spin the other way Nothing is for sure oh And nothing is for sure Spin me the other way I've got to learn not to say always |

Watching the clock over Jackson Square
I could feel my life drifting away Loosing my hold like the muddy banks In eleven straight days of rain I want to call on the St. Expedite I better call on that St. Expedite Hung on the carousel took me a while To see that it just goes 'round I kept a thinking your name rings a bell You resemble someone when you smile And I wanna say it's that St. Expedite Honey you got a face like St. Expedite My spirit grows heavy and I wonder at times What keeps it from floating up higher The hatred of people that I might have crossed Or the gravity of our desires It's hell either way callin' St. Expedite Hell either way callin' St. Expedite |
