In the wilderness uncountable voices
Earplugs for the birds and the animals And blinders for your beast of burden, the will For learning These books were made for burning In the wilderness Beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned Those sapphire girls May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary Under "F" Men in holes, men in caves, men in chains I ask But the store clerk needn't check Man I forget which came first The bad idea or me befallen by it? Not giving a shit may we never forget you May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness Senile live the zealous Lost to the treasures that compel us Muted down like patriots amiss You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off Those bad ideas that feel so soft May they never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead |

What if you woke up in the middle of the night
And in your bare feed you walked outside And realized that you were awake, that you could fly Out over the world Out over the world To places that you've only heard of See faces that you were sold as murderers But just like you they're only lonely boys and girls Like all over the world All over the world What if you could lift them up What if you could make it so that times weren't tough So every morning when the world woke up There'd only be weather on the news Only weather on the news Only weather on the news Only weather on the news And what if you were back in bed With one of them floating over your head What do you say to your enemies When you don't know what it is That could have been between ya That could have been between ya all That could have been between ya that could have been between ya all That could have been between ya There ain't no blue skies over bad lands Even if it ain't raining in the mornings But you don't need to fly to understand it Just understand understanding Just understand understanding |

Throw away your anger
Throw away the sheath Charge and spike your heavy guns 'Cause that ain't no kind of belief Dream of where it left you When you were still too young To know the difference between the faith in your heart And the politics of looking dumb Ah yeah It's all I know This empty road It keeps me looking for a place in your heart It's all I know Said brother are you weary? Said sister are you safe? Has this world got you thinking That it ain't nothing but jailer's cage? Well child there ain't no worries And child it ain't no thing Because this world's too old to hate you And too young to give up spring Ah yeah It's all I know This empty road It keeps me looking for a place in your heart It keeps me looking for a place in your heart It keeps me looking for a place in your heart It's all I know It's all I know It's all I know |

Saturdays
Saturdays I'm reminded of Bombs away Over our house when it could have been, should have been, doves A mind to waste Out on the street ya they sign you up Get a taste Beat you down when it could have been, should have been, love Ex-pats of the Blue Mountain Symphony Orchestra If heaven's above me Then those starry skies they know me If it can't get the blood off our hands Then you and I, we'll get it off ourselves So another day Pissed away down the bar Ain't it a shame Turned your head off when it could have been, should have been, on Ex-pats of the Blue Mountain Symphony Orchestra Ex-pats of the Blue Mountain Symphony Orchestra |

In the wilderness uncountable voices
Earplugs for the birds and the animals And blinders for your beast of burden, the will For learning These books were made for burning In the wilderness Beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned Those sapphire girls May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary Under "F" Men in holes, men in caves, men in chains I ask But the store clerk needn't check Man I forget which came first The bad idea or me befallen by it? Not giving a shit may we never forget you May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness Senile live the zealous Lost to the treasures that compel us Muted down like patriots amiss You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off Those bad ideas that feel so soft May they never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead |
