Conversations that
went on terrible paths don't talk about that No no don't talk about that We're coming back loud and end this conversation Said you let your hair down you got enough to go round oh mine Said you let your hair down but you've been telling me that since the day we meet She's laughing like a choir girl She's laughing like a choir girl She's laughing like a choir girl when she doubles over sounds like Hallelujah She's talking to my mother She's on the phone with my mother She's talking to my mother She's looking up at me like I'm a criminal She bargains like a lawyer sacrifice like a martyr She's just her mother's daughter cutting cloth and washing a pan Man we were still just babies dreaming of the sixties Man we were still just babies dressing up in rags with our wallets full Now our pockets are shallow our quart running low I saw their empty but I'm just a fool A woman in the kitchen told me that true love it waits but of all the rules he lives by that's the one that he hates |

Look up from the hymnal
look 'round at the faces of families closing their eyes We're taking Communion and passing the offering hat around at the same time I reached for the hat and take all the cash And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve And leave in it's place a note to explain All of the reasons that stealing has led me to leave If there was a worthy cause for to give to May I be so bold as to say The givers not knowing where their money's going Is as sinful as throwing away Stained glasses shine on my red wine And the sweat of my brow drips to my shaking knees A small sacrifice to benefit one man's journey away from America's seas Sweet sweet sigh of relief Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea Sweet sweet sigh of relief Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea Sweet sweet sigh of relief Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea Nobody here knows my name Call it right or wrong I bought my ticket just the same |

He pours the wine into his coffee cup
This jazz has dropped it's time to pick it up 2:30 he rolls out of this brass at last Terence love is barking something crass Each night a thousand stairs go up both ways Soul and color peeking through his sleeves M's down at the coast it's too late for buses run Slides into his headphones sleeps to solo monk Success success his smile is saccharine Glamorous he's pouring Pancho's gin Lives his live a painful and lovely day In the history of a great pregnancy Squat public library checking out "The Trial" Strolls to the pier to gather his thoughts Squat public library checking out "The Trial" He's talking to himself about it He don't get upset, get upset He can't sleep He'll have another cigarette and don't get upset He don't get upset, get upset |

Backseat of your family station wagon, listening Nina Simone
One Hundred years of solitude and only 12 years old God make up your mind God make up your mind Do you wanna play fair Or should I take what's mine Your mom is calling out, ”Look at the Grand Canyon” Camilla couldn't care less Gaze into the hole Your stomach feels the emptiness of death God make up your mind God make up your mind Do you wanna play fair Or should I take what's mine, like everyone else From New York to New Orleans, played alphabet Kansas to Boise, won the battleship Memorized the capitals, crossword puzzles Drew a picture of a cat laying dead in the street Daydream about my real dad back in California Elephant in your brain, reminding you you've got to make a choice Wraps his arms around you slow Cause you tense up like an armadillo God make up your mind God make up your mind Do you wanna play fair Or should I take what's mine, like everyone else Why ain't my teacher on a street sign? He's done so much more than politicians, dead musicians You wanna help someone you gotta be a no one That's what I figured out the cat in the street meant You gotta make up your mind Make up your mind Make up your mind |

So let's go deadbolt your shed door
Cram your paper money, snug, closer than before Chandeliers are falling in graveyard rows And your eyes are shifting dials like AM radios Snowed over river, melted more last night Still the same, the shattered windshields of spidered ice Yes, yes, mother, I mean to be baptized Seeds that make the higher ground grow and multiply Joy to Rubidoux in the the middle of the night Bourbon and a pistol in the dash, out of sight What did you expect, romantic call of why? Just empty, desert light Few feet float above these Persian throw rugs And tuck themselves in percussionist, succession words Tonight, a single, simple folk play themselves low Just like talking city blues, down in the hole we loathe Joy to Rubidoux in the the middle of the night Bourbon and a pistol in the dash, out of sight What did you expect, romantic call of why? Just empty, desert light I suggest that you respect the deal And keep your nose out of business of priests and holy men The life you have chosen is filled with dirty finger nails And lost and founds and canceled appointments Ten, ten more avenues, time to choose And there's rain that'll fall down on fire There's fifty doors to choose from and there's many more Many more inside, inside, inside Well, the night time's going to come The night time's going to come Joy to Rubidoux in the the middle of the night Bourbon and a pistol in the dash, out of sight What did you expect, romantic call of why? Just empty, desert light Joy to Rubidoux in the the middle of the night Joy to Rubidoux in the the middle of the night Joy to Rubidoux in the the middle of the night Just empty, desert light, it's just empty, desert light It's just empty, desert light |

Thick fog rolls in waves
On the Golden Gate I was checking my watch With seven minutes on my shift When I spot a black skirt on the rail Straddling the bar like it's a quarter a ride She's scared to jump, but terrified to stay Walk to her slow, extend my hand with a smile and say "Ma'am how was your day? Keep your eyes on my face! I want to help you if you'll let me." She's startled, I look forward Wrap my arms around her legs Pull her down to the sidewalk We're both heaving for air and I say "Ma'am how was your day? Keep your eyes on my face! I want to help you if you'll let me." Most folks think they'll hit the surface And never feel no pain Water pulls you under Back to the womb once again Bodies float to the shore Bloated purple and blue If sharks don't get to you first Crabs will have their way with you |

Everywhere white's what I see I've never lived alone So near the ocean breeze I can finally afford high anxiety Reach up, cold air hits your hands Snow packs like cement you can't stand Remain calm while rescue makes plans Oh, avalanche in aparment B All at once the weight dropped on me Sweating at the bar Fifteen minutes ago We we're yelling our heads off Now I'm surrounded by snow Reaching up, cold air hits your hands Snow packs like cement you can't stand Remain calm while rescue makes plans The earth must contract and expand |

Out of money, out of friends I've seen enough of nothing new The blacker stain on history or last laugh blues Not gonna fight, not gonna cry Not gonna shop around for one flag to fly I've seen enough, inventor's age I've cover up my face, brownbeaten shame I've got the itch, I feel the sting Like fallen in to the deepest sleep, telephone rings How's it going to feel when summer ends? Out of money, out of friends How's it going to feel when summer ends? Out of money, out of friends I've seen enough, the angry mob Yeah they were unison da-da-da They can't be stopped Sitting at home, making plans Don't wanna be another silly set of accident hands How's it going to feel when summer ends?

Every man I fall for
Drinks his coffee black "Love" and "Hate" are tattoed on his knuckles and My name is on his back Every man I fall for Works the graveyard shift He kisses me softly to wake me up Then takes my place in bed And I fall I leave with one concern It's the law of diminishing returns It's the law of diminishing returns Every man I fall for keeps his anger on A string and holds it tight When other man walk by blinking their eyes at me He always pick a fight I go walk alone down Ocean Boulevard Peaking your windows Tired housewives nagging at their husbands, but Is this the life you chose? And I fall I leave with one concern It's the law of diminishing returns And I fall I leave with one concern It's the law of diminishing returns Every man I fall for Nearly every man Every man I fall for Nearly every man |

Thought I was laying in the gutter in
Milk cartons and bones But I was standing on a mountain top Looking over your homes Thought I was laying my garden with My hands deep in soil But I was there on an island Shooting flares at your boat Thought I was soothing like a violin Confessing new rain But I was piping like a trumpet Frantic for fame Thought I was built like a building's built Iron, concrete and stone I realize I'm just a hack actor Finished playing my role Your reading my thoughts Dreams old men dream It's just like when we were kids We'd lay around wondering We try to listen to what they say Thought I was writing for a hundred hours Looking straight into me But I was reading on the news paper Obituaries Thought I was nervous like a mailman Reading your letters, dear But I was at our anniversary Toasting 30 years Your reading my thoughts Dreams old men dream It's just like when we were kids We'd lay around wondering We try to listen to what they say We try to listen to what they say Push my piano outside I don't care, I don't care Beneath the meteor black sky I don't care, I don't care The neighbours will complain Let them stare, let them stare Who knows where the time goes? I don't care, I don't care What would you think of me if I told you I haven't slept in weeks? I've been up chasing my childhood with a pin These are dreams old men dream |

On the night that my love broke through
On the night that my love broke through Revelations that came unglued On the night that my love broke through Cell doors were opened Guards stepped out the way Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay Flowers long since dead Stiffened at the neck Colors came back in green and yellow and in red Unemployed cowboy Staggered on Fairfax Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back A copy of Bukowski At the bottom of the stack Got pickup by some dropout who read it front to back Shoving off the death hand of his past Ants were crawling out of Grimy bathtub drains Janitor was laughing, he had finally gone insane City buses swerving Arriving right on time Vending machines were selling glasses of white wine by the dime Streetlights got a burst of Electricity Sparks danced across windshields like a grand finale Metal detector's beeping Sound was deafening Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings We all stopped to listen to him sing On the night when my love broke through On the night when my love broke through Revelations that came unglued On the night when my love broke through On the night On the night On the night On the night |

You get what you want Then I'll want it too I know who you are Don't know who you're not I don't dare ask Come back, we'll use the stove We'll make plans in the back Of your pickup truck Oh, why no one told She crowns my lips And waits up Helicopter sails Watching bird's eye That's when I dropped And all my hands Were behaving Like maps expired These rocks have been kicked My body is spent Can't stop and rest, oh no Your comfort plus ease I see it in 3-D You can't dream so slow Don't check the index for reference Curse the sky "Lord, give me hints" I search the place for your prints I feel your cryptomnesia Cryptomnesia |

Why I make that face? Oh why would I?
Why would I test my faith? Oh why would I? Oh why? I see that raincloud coming right for me Why would I say my name? Oh why would I? When I'm so far away? Oh why would I? Oh why? I guess I've always been a bit of a fighter From now on wear my love for you loose From now on I am just passing through From now on trust my feeling is true From now on call me Royal Blue Why would I stick around? Oh why would I? Why would I get burned down? Oh why would I? Oh why? For me I'm always waiting in shadows Oh why? For me I'm always looking for a way out From now on with the sky as my roof From now on let the risk lead me to From now on somewhere I never knew From now on call me Royal Blue Hey From now on fly as high as I want From now on I'll show my weak spot From now on you know that I do From now on call me Royal Blue From now on wear my love for you loose From now on I am just passing through From now on trust my feeling is true From now on call me Royal Blue |

Holding out, she knows what I'm about
I start to play the silent card You make this easy Or you play me like a shark Arms folded, nose to the floor If it's got to be a leap of faith I wish somebody'd push me That way I'd know who to blame When we go out tonight I'll be looking so far past the flashing lights Finally open my arms wide Finally I let you inside Finally made it past the end To finally begin Weigh the pros but the cons come first I've got a black belt in doubt I get claustrophobic All these open doors around Still the pros are the hardest to ignore I've never felt this light before I took off my sunglasses And waited for the words When we go out tonight I'll be looking so far past the flashing lights Finally open my arms wide Finally I let you inside Finally made it past the end To finally begin To finally begin Where and when We go out tonight I'll be looking so far past the flashing lights When we go out tonight I'll be looking so far past the flashing lights Finally open my arms wide Finally I let you inside Finally made it past the end To finally begin The hours we keep, the days we save They add up to years, now face to face With you by my side, now I can stand To finally begin To finally begin Where and when To finally begin Where and when To finally begin Where and when |

Oh
Oh The crown on my head is heavy on me They wouldn't know it 'cause they don't wanna see The skin on my face is turning bright pink As I walk by, the girl's choir whispering Oh Oh The street that I walk welcomes my feet With cryptic graffiti greetings to read The smile on my mouth, it came dirt cheap I bought it second hand I will always walk tall Taller than the clouds when the rain starts to fall I come out of the wilderness To lay by the waterfall Oh Oh Oh The wires to my head when I press play Who's this new prophet, has she got something to say? The thoughts in my brain are backfiring I'm a picture perfect passenger I will always walk tall I hold my loneliness up like a medicine ball I come out of the wilderness To lay by the waterfall Lighten my load You expect the worst And you always get your way These big buildings, these little girls Are giving me a little shade I will always walk tall I hold my loneliness up like a medicine ball I come out of the wilderness To lay by the waterfall I will always walk tall Taller than the clouds when the rain starts to fall I come out of the wilderness To lay by the waterfall Lighten my load |

Ooh, uh
Ooh, woah Ooh, woah Ooh You wait on letters Patient for any sign of life Drinks after dinner Your friends will get you to unwind Let's skip the charades Can we just speak plain? I'm two left feet when I'm home we tapdanced on broken glass Somehow you managed To keep your sense of humor intact Let's skip the charades You're seeing right through me anyway Can we just speak plain? We're playing for the same team But I'm the one that's acting like Acting like Acting like I'm so strong You're the one that's acting like Acting like Acting like Nothing's wrong You dodged a bullet You do your best when you're busiest But you're disconnected You can't find your name in the script It was you who were wildest It was you who floated above us all I held on with wires Will you come back down if I let you go? Let's skip the charades You're seeing right through me anyway Can we just speak plain? We're playing for the same team But I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong Can we skip the charades? Just speak plain Can we skip the charades? Just speak plain Can we skip the charades? Just speak plain Skip the charades |

I try being sweet, it's buried deep in me
Now I can only see red on red My mom's going out with my best friends' dad She talking loud I can't believe what she said A sensitive kid A sensitive kid They sold the house, left photo albums there No silverware while paper walls were bare I called all my friends, "Come over! Come one, come all! Let's get a crowd here for one last hoorah!" A sensitive kid A sensitive kid Who made me The sensitive kid A sensitive kid The message was bleak, my brother pounded it in me You climb it up or you cut it down This is your family tree I know you were born with a heart of gold But I want a purple heart that cannot dissolve The sensitive kid A sensitive kid Don't call me A sensitive kid A sensitive kid I can't tell you why You should've known it Sensitive kids Start acting like a grown up I can't tell you why You should've known it Sensitive kids Start acting like a grown up I can't tell you why You should've known it Sensitive kids Start acting like a grown up I can't tell you why You should've known it Sensitive kids Start acting like a grown up |

We can beat this, you and me
Just a matter of degrees I can't calculate this late at night Honeymooners moving wet cement They don't know about the walls that rise and rest Bulldozer Run right over us Feel the snap and crush of furniture Bulldozer Clear a space for us Let's rebuild this love on what we were Come outside, this view is free Only clear moonlight can reach You and I will stay low to the ground Honeymooners we are bouncing checks Cross your fingers that they don't get returned Bulldozer Run right over us Feel the snap and crush of furniture Bulldozer Clear a space for us Let's rebuild this love on what we were Bulldozer What we need you for You're the last resort to start over I can feel your arms around me Pull me closer, hold me tightly Precious metals now colliding Look to you my carbon copy I can feel your arms around me Pull me closer, hold me tightly Precious metals now colliding Look to you my carbon copy Bulldozer I think you're only one That can work, that can work, that can work Bulldozer Step up this is gonna hurt Gnash your teeth, take a bite of the dirt |

I locked my keys in the car
I'm pleading for some change The meter treats me like a stranger now Flashing zeros I'm juggling a drink too full While tugging on a leash that you pull And jogging my memory for The way to your door I have been broken open By my most trusted friend I was the wild card, you were the safe bet I've been broken open I'm up and down that way I'm up and down that way It's easier to say That I'm doing okay Than bother to explain The water rising Threw out your crystal ball and your weather vain Picasso don't pre-meditate, he just paint Tonight it's so easy To overflow I have been broken open Was a perfect gentleman Now I'm smashing champagne, tying cans Feel like celebrating I have been broken open Dug to China with bare hands When you asked me if I'd like to dance I've been broken open Flow over me, flow over, flow Over flow It feels so strange to feel good And when I was the fire, you were wood So when I was petrified You understood I have been broken open This was not my master plan I was comfortable watching from the stands I've been broken open All my edges are exposed I was once content alone Now you brought the one that I call home I've been broken open Flow over me, flow over flow Flow over me, flow over flow Flow over me, flow over flow Flow over me, flow over flow Flow over me, flow over flow Flow over me, flow over flow Flow over me, flow over flow |

Hunger and the lights are off, honey
Trying to find my head Don't recall laying down In this black bed Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor Feeling up the wall to find a light switch Like a mime, surprised What glows in the dark A zipper's broken spine Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor I am not alone All my doves have flown (Cold toes on the cold floor) (Cold toes on the cold floor) It's a classic mix-up, baby An honest mistake A girl I used know, maybe Another face on the street She said to say hello to you soon and I awake from my dream state Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor Alright I'll take out the garbage I will squeeze your juice So glad to be making Scrambled eggs with you Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor, one more Cold toes on the cold floor Cold toes on the cold floor I am not alone All my doves have flown |

All that happens now
Is not some glorious accident All that matters now As you ignore and I pretend This plane's flying upside down The steering wheel is stuck But I'm turning us around We will see that sky above Ambition and She looks good on you tonight She holds your hand and runs Your lungs are burning bright Morning comes Like it almost always does You want to hold her but You know you can't keep up This plane's flying upside down And this is how I ask for help By pulling the fire alarm And blocking your exit We argue like Two kids that can't share toys I swing at you With words sharper than any swords You come back With a trap so good it hurts You say, "I will never leave You know, no matter what" All that happens now Is not some glorious accident All that matters now As you ignore and I pretend I'm shocked when I light the candle And then I go outside I can't make you see my hand so I need you to come in close, tell me it's alright Flying upside down The steering wheel is stuck But I'm turning us around We'll see that sky above And let go of all that I know And let go of all that I know A guest on this crazy game show They won't make or break the whole world Flying upside down Flying upside down Flying upside down Flying upside down Oh Oh |
