All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come I twisted you over and under to take you The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest I twisted you under and under to break you I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart How come, how come So far under the bed Into the beams you've gone I've gone, you've gone I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me I can't bring a sound from my head though I try I can't seem to find my way up from the basement A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart How come, how come So far under the bed Into the beams you've gone I've gone, you've gone All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart |

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 |

Want to get it all behind me
You know everything reminds me I can't be myself without you Want to crawl down deep inside The springs inside the mattress Where l cry my dirty secrets 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running Past the city houses And the ditches on the highway Read between the seasons Under the bridges in valleys Til the winds out on the prairie Whip the tears from my eyes Want to get it all behind me You know everything reminds me I can't be myself without you Want to crawl down deep inside the springs inside the mattress where I cry my dirty secrets 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running Across the muddy river And the smokestacks on the bank Swallow that horizon Hunger beyond hunger Til the cloudy blue Pacific Took the air in my lungs And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes. |

Voices that did comfort me
Are furthest from my sanity And come from places I have never seen Even in my darkest recollection There was singin' my life back to me The life you learn from someone else That you can only trust yourself Sometimes that is still too much to want Gravity won't get you through the mazes You can never travel by the way you've come I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless and all those surrogates Those who're singin' my life back to me Life is not a constant thing It's only made of short stories I couldn't even tell you where I'm from Guided by the voices I've deflected Guided by electric wires' hum I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless Those who're singin' my life back to me I see you in the future, skippin' time While the eyes of all the faithful rest in peace Yet tonight I see the highway And someone singin' my life back to me |

So far away
Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away Days have gone by and I've barely gone Safe on the road that speeds from your front door I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes I thought in the madness my arms could not hold I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear My heart might be willing by this time next year I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away |

So many people live in my town
And mind to my business but none of their own They're all so happy now that I've done wrong I'm surprised they don't come up and thank me So if you want moral advice I suggest you just tuck it all away 'Cause my mood to burn bridges Parallels my mood to dig ditches Don't cross me on neither a day, baby Don't make mistakes or be human They savor your every false move And the fear that they hide looking for a Break If ever confronted with truth So if you want moral advice I suggest you just tuck it all away 'Cause my mood to burn bridges Parallels my mood to dig ditches Don't cross me on neither a day, baby From the well of their hearts spring the poison That mixed with suspicion and reckless derision And something they read on a church toilet stall They think that their lives are much better Than mine on the soapbox and ladders stand tall So if you want moral advice I suggest you just tuck it all away 'Cause my mood to burn bridges Parallels my mood to dig ditches Don't cross me on neither a day I see those arrows beside me I hear you right behind me Don't cross me on neither a day |

Watch the clouds sift through the aero And you'll be in my arms again There's no need to cry Of all the things so bittersweet You're the first thing I see in morning and in sleep And you'll be in my arms again There's no need to cry Years have been lost but can never be replaced But my thoughts are with you Tied to that interstate And you'll be in my arms tonight There's no need to cry There's no need to cry There's no need to cry |

I want to tell you about my hometown
It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound Well the factories churn and the timbers all cut down And life goes by slow in Tacoma People they laugh when they hear you're from my town They say it's a sour and used up all place I defended its honor, shrugged off the put downs You know that you're poor, from Tacoma Buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost-towns It gives me a chill to think what was inside I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history I invented my own in Tacoma There was nothing to put me in love with the good life I'm in league with the the gangs guns, and the crime There was no hollow promise that life would reward you There was nowhere to hide in Tacoma People who built it they loved it like I do There was hope in the trainyard of something inspired Once was I on it, but it's been painted shut I found passion for life in Tacoma Well I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you But that's how you like it away from the world God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart I hope they don't find you Tacoma |

Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget? All the love we had between us Now it's like we've never met Oh it kills me, how it kills me When I think I held you up You were golden, I was blind With your poison in my blood Bittersweet are the memories That make old lovers pine But I'll trade all the memories Just to have your heart in mine Everybody's talking to me But they just can't explain Disappeared from all the pages And nothing seems the same Was a time I thought I knew you When I looked you in the eye Now the same eyes look right through me You're too cool to see me cry Bittersweet are the memories That make old lovers pine But I'll trade all the memories Just to have your heart in mine Oh my darling, oh my darling How can you forget All the love we had between us Now it's like we've never met You were golden and I was blind Now it's like we've never met |

Well it's hot in the yard
And it's cool in the bed And I whip the blankets into cotton thread And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head 'Til my feet can go right through the basement Well you play so surprised at what you have found But I heard you coming from way across town So let's get to getting to burning it down And the fire, it's spreading like madness 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start When the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess I'm trapped in the door Why don't you make me confess 'Cause I'm tastin' delicious To just keep you guessin' Whatever it is, that ignites me 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start When instinct is dirty and morality's clean And we're bound for damnation say those magazines Well to hell with the sorrow and watered-down scenes We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven. 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start |

I put on that sweater you gave me
I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later I didn't know how I had gotten there Did you guide me I didn't make it to your funeral I didn't want ritual nor resign I just wanted to hold hands with J.P and Mary-Jo But I couldn't conjure tears We're too good for stupid angels Blackness held its breath beside me And burned the air till it was gone Till it was gone Till it was gone Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man Your life was much more to me And I chased away with sticks and stones But that rage kept following me Following Me Following Me So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hand In dreams we were happy and safe I can't comprehend the ways I miss you They come to light in my mistakes In my mistakes In my mistakes Now I'm travelling down Tacoma way And the world turns in slow motion It's the twilight of our old home And I'm still in love with you Oh here on South Tacoma way We've memories for matinees And the tears come warm and heavy And the cross streets bare your name And the cross streets bare your name |

You're the one that lies in my arms You're the one that stole all my charms I let you in Misery You took everything young from me Burned it down right in front of me My blood runs cold Nobody said that love was gonna be kind But they did say that it was pleasurable as it was divine Lost love You're the one that lies in my arms You're the one that stole all my charms I'm bought and sold Nobody said that love was gonna be kind But they did say it was pleasurable as it was divine Wish I could leave it behind Lost love |

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 |

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... |

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
A-traveling through this world below But there's no sickness, toil, or danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over home I am a poor wayfaring stranger A-traveling through this world below But there's no sickness, toil, or danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over home I'm just a-going over home I'm just a-going over home |

Everything's so easy for Pauline
Everything's so easy for Pauline Ancient strings set feet a light to speed to her such mild grace No monument of tacky gold They smoothed her hair with cinnamon waves And they placed an ingot in her breast to burn cool and collected Fate holds her firm in its cradle and then rolls her for a tender pause to savor Everything's so easy for Pauline Girl with the parking lot eyes Margaret is the fragments of a name Her bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake Of the make-believe monster whose picture was faked Margaret is the fragments of a name Her love pours like a fountain Her love steams like rage Her jaw aches from wanting and she's sick from chlorine But she'll never be as clean As the cool side of satin, Pauline Two girls ride the blue line Two girls walk down the same street One left her sweater sittin' on the train The other lost three fingers at the cannery Everything's so easy for Pauline |

My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block Of a falcon sedan 1969 The paper said '75 There were no survivors None found alive Trees break the sidewalk And the sidewalk skins my knees There's glass in my thermos And blood on my jeans Nickels and dimes of the fourth of July Roll off in a crooked line To the chain-link lots where the red tails dive Oh how I forgot what it's like <i>[Chorus:]</i> Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs Moves like she runs Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs Moves like she runs Hey there there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight Round the town tonight Hey there there's such deadly wolves 'round town tonight Round the town tonight Hey pretty baby get high with me, We can go to my sisters if we say we'll watch the baby" The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain And I would do anything To see you again So I've fallen behind: <i>[Chorus]</i> Go on, go on scream and cry You're miles from where anyone will find you This is nothing new, no television crew They don't even put on the sirens My nightgown sweeps the pavement Please don't let him die Oh how I forgot... |

The most tender place in my heart is for strangers I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous Hangin' round the ceiling half the time Hangin' round the ceiling half the time Compared to some I've been around But I really tried so hard That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on" In the end I was the mean girl Or somebody's in-between girl Now it's the devil I love And that's as funny as real love I leave the party at three a.m. Alone, thank God With a valium from the bride It's the devil I love And that's as funny as real love And that's as real as true love That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on" That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on" |

Specters move like pilot flames
Their widows toast at St. Angel Better times collide with now The tears were warm, I feel them still Their heat to vapor and disperse And cloud our eyes with weary glaze You raise your glass and may exclaim "I'll put my hands on the truth by God" But it's faster, love, than you and me Faster than the speed of gravity That's how it catches you from falling And how it always slips away Specters move like pilot flames Their widows toast at St. Angel Better times collide with now And better times And better times are coming still |

Now that we've met
We can only laugh at these regrets Common as a winter cold They're telephone poles They follow each other One, after another, after another But now my heart is green as weeds Grown to outlive their season And nothing comforts me the same As my brave friend who says, "I don't care if forever never comes 'Cause I'm holding out for that teenage feeling I'm holding out for that teenage feeling" All the loves we had All we ever knew Did they fill me with so many secrets That keep me from loving you 'Cause it's hard, hard |

Driving home I see those flooded fields
How can people not know what beauty this is I've taken it for granted my whole life Since the day I was born Clouds hang on these curves like me And I kneel to the wheel Of the fox confessor on splendid heels And he shames me from my seat And on my guilty feet I follow him in retreat What purpose in these deeds Oh fox confessor please Who married me to these orphaned blues "It's not for you to know, but for you to weep and wonder When the death of your civilization precedes you." Will I ever see you again Will there be no one above me to put my faith in I flooded my sleeves as I drove home again |

Old John the baptist, old John divine
Leather harness round his line His meat was locust and honey Wild honey lord, wild honey John saw that number Way in the middle of the air Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord Old John the baptist, old John divine Frogs and snakes are gonna get John this time God told the angel "go see about John" So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist Gathered wind in his fists so the stars round his wrists Cryin' holy, holy to the lord Read the revelations, you'll find him there Third chapter, fourth verse where he said unto me "There's a beast that rose out of the sea" Ten crowns, ten crowns On his horns write "blasphemy" John couldn't read it (John couldn't read it) Get on repeat it John couldn't read it Holy, holy to the Lord There was a man, a pharisee Who came by night to meet him Said "I know thy teacher came from God cause no man can do such miracles Without the lord to entreat him" God told the angel "go see about John" So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist Gathered wind in his fists and the stars round his wrists Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord Holy, holy to the Lord Holy, holy to the Lord... |

So suddenly the madness came
With its whiskered, wolven, ether pangs He locked the door And shut the blinds He laid down on the floor and he slept like iron While the dirty knife worked deep Into his spine The blood runs crazy The blood runs crazy Cascading letters pool on the stairs The grass is high, the cats are wild You can't even touch the tip of their tails And the blood runs crazy with giant strides He sang nursery rhymes to paralyze The wolves that eddy out the corner of his eyes But they squared him frozen where he stood In the glow of the furniture piled high for firewood And the blood runs crazy with giant strides And the woodsman failed to breech those fangs in time So they dragged him through the underbrush Wearing three winter coats and a dirty knife <i>[Ukrainian Part]</i> |

You're gone, the trees are so quiet
When your hand was in my pocket How they swayed from side to side Now the meddling sky and my snowy eye Sees a different night The night I fell into the lion's jaws To my regret and your delight Those teeth themselves could not divine Nor their pressure estimate The haze I wish to never break And to never contemplate Momentum for the sake of momentum Momentum for the sake of momentum Of momentum |

Maybe sparrow you should wait
The hawks alight till morning You'll never pass beyond the gate If you don't hear my warning Notes are hung so effortless With the rise and fall of sparrow's breast It's a drowning dive and back to the chorus La di da di da di da La di da di da di da Oh my sparrow it's too late Your body limp beneath my feet Your dusty eyes cold as clay You didn't hear my warning Maybe sparrow it's too late Moonlight glanced off metal wings In a thunderstorm above the clouds The engine hums a sparrow's phrase For those who cannot hear the words For those who will not hear the words For those who will not hear the words La di da di da di da La di da di da di da Maybe sparrow Maybe sparrow Maybe sparrow |

I can say that I've lived here in honor and danger
But I'm just an animal and cannot explain a life Down this chain of days I wished to stay among my people Relation now means nothing, having chosen so defined And if death should smell my breathing As it pass beneath my window Let it lead me trembling, trembling I own every bell that tolls me |

Here I am in traffic's slow flow
Where the needle touched down Carbon planes draw a cage round the air force base Where the needle touched down My foot on the brake it's ok to fly low Over poor Spanaway An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer Took the name of your town from a sharp-toothed freighter The needle's the same that recorded and played When you left me at the greyhound the year I moved away And if I knew then what's so obvious now You'd still be here baby My baby, baby So that's why I never come back here That's why they spit out my name Your ex's have clawed up the bible Trying to keep me away With the sledge of tectonic fever The needle has landed again Let it play And the needle touched down The needle is landing And the needle touched down The needle is landing An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer Took the name of your town From a sharp-toothed freighter And if I knew then what's so obvious now You'd still be here |

Want to get it all behind me
You know everything reminds me I can't be myself without you Want to crawl down deep inside The springs inside the mattress Where l cry my dirty secrets 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running Past the city houses And the ditches on the highway Read between the seasons Under the bridges in valleys Til the winds out on the prairie Whip the tears from my eyes Want to get it all behind me You know everything reminds me I can't be myself without you Want to crawl down deep inside the springs inside the mattress where I cry my dirty secrets 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running Across the muddy river And the smokestacks on the bank Swallow that horizon Hunger beyond hunger Til the cloudy blue Pacific Took the air in my lungs And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes. |

All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come I twisted you over and under to take you The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest I twisted you under and under to break you I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart How come, how come So far under the bed Into the beams you've gone I've gone, you've gone I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me I can't bring a sound from my head though I try I can't seem to find my way up from the basement A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart How come, how come So far under the bed Into the beams you've gone I've gone, you've gone All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart |

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 |

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 |

One night I woke up crying in the lane behind the house
Clothes were wet and steaming by the time I figured it out You didn't die in the fire, it was the flood that carried you from me And the embers of your house still glowing Make it hard to sleep It's hard to breathe There's not much room to go more crazy A flaming sword above my head for all of you to see Beware my girl, beware Beware my girl, beware of these memories and what is real, what is real I walk this world forever in a dream Or is this the land of the living Or is this your way to tell me that I couldn't save you I couldn't save you |
