Blinky 03:27
could’ve been shot by this one though it might’ve been mine should’ve been left by the rest stop if you had been kind ‘cause i’ve got a funny way of feeling and feeling you wasn’t right there’s nothing left to believe in so believe in me this time the senator said as he called his blushing bride oh his bride but why hold steady when tomorrow’s always turning out bad and why hold steady when the future’s in the walls but the malls are coming back coming back should’ve been called to the rescue down at morgan dell could’ve been left by the pumphouse if you had been well but all this was there in the sand dunes so set it up and let them ride you got dressed up too soon, now you’re starting to feel alright if you can’t be great you might as well be bright oh be bright but why hold steady when tomorrow’s always turning out bad why hold steady when the future’s in the walls but the malls are coming back coming back and you’re making the eyes and you’re making the eyes all wooden and why hold steady when tomorrow’s always turning out bad why hold steady when the future’s in the walls but the malls are coming back coming back

Brass Lines 03:35
the two of us are guilty, i wrote it on my sleeve from your marriage bed, were you holding out on me though this story might, i never want to see you leave with these men in lights shouting out to me ‘cause i want to be high yes i want to be bright oh there’s something on my sleeve won’t ascribe, won’t abide by the words that you might keep and if what you say ‘cause it might be true i’ve got to go go and find you, i’ll wait for you this time through the milano storms and the blossoms through the week i saw this battle born, i was holding you in the street ended by my house, ‘cause a red light’s warm indeed and these men about will be shouting out to me ‘cause i want to be high yes i want to be bright oh there’s something on my sleeve won’t ascribe, won’t abide by the words that you might keep and if what you say ‘cause it might be true i’ve got to go go and find you, i’ll wait for you this time go and find you, it’s hard to let it slide

Chorus Line 03:25
then i got lost and scared because i don’t want to fight these things were too much to bear though nothing here is wrong i’d sworn that all this had been and along with the chorus line i sang for you and me then i got up and ran thought all this might belong to the trouble and the worries at hand if i had caused you doubt don’t you know that i believe in these things and along with the chorus line i prayed i could hear you sing what’s outside your .. don’t let the rain in you sang, you sang with your bitter armies behind your eyes on my shoulder, on my keychain with your lightning sticks and your surprise i’ve known this, yes i’ve known this that the devil was tired but sure to begin wanted to be sure of these things thought you might be strong didn’t know what the seasons would bring if i had stolen south, i’d call it honest and say and along with the chorus line i sang as you went away what’s outside your .. don’t let the rain in

Horses 05:34
said you didn’t need no horses on the ground no satellite to trace his little head i stopped for a drink then i left without a sound but the stories they followed me someone stole the right words to try and frighten me come down i am sure, sure of who i am ‘cause the chorus is my sword and the lightings in my hair the seasons i recall are the ones that i have shared there’s violence in my heart and i guess i had.. said you wanted more than stories in the sand no heavy bellied caution around your neck you loaded up the sick and cut your mother’s hand scraped and washed her clean someone stole the songbird and tore it’s book from me come down i am sure, sure of who i am ‘cause the chorus is my sword and the lightings in my hair the seasons i recall are the one’s that i have shared there’s violence in my heart and i guess i had..

Undone 03:10
well here they come all walking at pace a little bit hostile and a little bit grey with sarin walls behind i won’t recognise you always despise you but i’ll hold your hand so i said don’t try to thrill me i said don’t try to feel me i had time to be restless i had time on the ceiling and at half after midnight i’m undone i’m a little undone, i’m undone i’m a little undone if being low required i want your headdress want your mistress but i won’t be kind and autumn came again by the sideshow all of the kids know it’s a fucking dive so i said don’t try to thrill me i said don’t try to feel me i had time to be restless i had time on the ceiling and at half after midnight i’m undone i’m a little undone, i’m undone i’m a little undone call the partisan put all the horses down with a line of angels shouted down with a line of angels and you might find that all these certain trial are done all these vials are drunk but you’re still fine and you arrived again so full of courage and grace all these memory days will still be mine don’t try to thrill me i said don’t try to feel me i had time to be restless i had time on the ceiling and at half after midnight i’m undone i’m a little undone, i’m undone i’m a little undone

Mrs Gray 03:28
i will be on my knees with a one way ticket to the broadway trees i needed your hand, needed then i pleaded to get away and by the lake, while i stayed i grew tired of this and the constant grey so i broke up his hand and turned to the one he’d been kissing ‘cause everything’s falling down today the shooter’s over there in the sand i got no reason to celebrate but i could use a little helping hand concentrate, be amazed by the tight blue jeans worn by mrs gray and the rest of the gang tumbled out of the classroom i don’t need cotton sheets or the book that spoke of the autumn breeze and the times that we had fumbling around in the bathroom ‘cause everything’s falling down today the shooters over there in the sand i got no reason to celebrate but i could use a little helping hand yeah i could use a little helping hand by the trees we agreed to abort his will and the need to please with purpose and pace all of this was new to my head and i adored this crumpled lawn and i greeted you with a grinding jaw and a beer in hand the laugh lines made me second rate but everything’s falling down today the shooter’s over there in the sand i got no reason to celebrate but i could use a little helping hand yeah i could use a little helping hand
8.
Nervous 02:01
seated by the window don’t you know don’t you know you make me nervous though the fire outside is making me feel kind of strange we’ll sit in the dark, talk of purpose and all the wishes around our bed though the lines are down i think this is coming to an end been living too long under sunny posts i had a record and the record shows and the chorus blows a certain share in the dark of a tuesday night i had a reason to listen to what was said and the record shows that my heart was thrown against the stair we had a punishing lesson and the chips they fell on you oh what a comical blessing now there’s sadness in my shoes now there’s sadness in my shoes
9.
constant ships sail, i watched from the bay the border lies open but i’ve wrestled these skips again it’s the reason she died it’s the reason she died he said i won’t blame you ascensions comes i guess i know what’s right i hardly can wait the satellite was overboard and i’ll be home again with all that i know curled and disarmed, i clung to the rail the road has no clearance but this wreckage will hurt to send it’s the reason i cried it’s the reason i cried i said i won’t name you ascensions comes i guess i know what’s right i hardly can wait the battle lines were overdrawn and i’ll be home again with all that i know the senator was on the ball he asked me to stay cancelled the curtain call and he walked me away from all that i know
10.
the time is now to come of age pack up your doubts don’t let them find their feet again all this division isn’t helping me to mend and old time religion is begging to depend i rode through the summer waiting for the end and i spent so little time with this one before i swiftly got bored so little time with this one lately maybe that’s why i needed why i wanted to be ignored maybe that’s why i feel so jaded i’m otherwise open rescue rangers come again asked them to teach me and then turn them all away all this confusion is tucked into the fray and all these revisions had never been made bound by the news and the worry lines of age and i paid paid no mind to this one so i could never get bored paid no mind to this your lady maybe that’s why i needed why i wanted to be ignored maybe that’s why i feel degraded i’m otherwise open all this rain won’t let me in spent no time with this one before i swiftly got bored spent no time with this your lady maybe that’s why i needed why i wanted to be ignored maybe that’s why i feel so jaded i’m otherwise open all this rain won’t let me in.
11.
America 02:32
warm bodies, they told me out east there was something new in seasons, i called out i thought i had something due ‘cause i’ve got a ticket to america we’ll be there soon we’ll meet in america how about you i want to meet in america shoot across the country with you i want to meet in america with the cinnamon and the violence too maybe we could trip down to phoenix with your black hair and your favourite cartoons i want to meet in america how about you how about you i want to meet in america been working with the nation blue i want to meet in america we’ll be skating and throwing harpoons maybe with a day trip to memphis we’ll see the king and all his blue suede shoes i want to meet in america how about you how about you
12.
saw your picture frame it’s getting dim i guess it’s all i had to show are you cold again or full of song i guess it’s all i’d ever known if i decide to come i had tried to grow to find my place and call to settle in i would settle in though my mansions may be cold i would settle in the hostile glow do you need guidance in the walls can’t dye or soil my hands can i save myself from this and i never knew what god meant no i never knew it’s sense i tried a loaded gun beside by bed tonight i tried looking up the dresses that were giving off the light so i might find my way home find my way home my daylight, my only daylight i had a line of small women by my left side through daisy chains i’d seen them all through countless waves i saw you fall my daylight, my only daylight i had four friendly horses by my west side through an empty haze i saw you born and through countless days i saw you mourn
13.
Weekend 04:12
here in the later blue night constance came to get it stayed up and beaten till blind the rest of us let it continue tonight till the early grey light gone, gone again i left it with you she held the light and it’s all i can do but continue tonight the reasons, though the reasons were mine i waited to hurt him the weekend yes the weekend was fine but i broke down and cursed him cursed him in time till the early grey light gone, gone again i left it with you she held the light and it’s all i can do is continue to fight
