The first star at night received applause
The rest filed in politely, no one saw us
In a parking lot, cynics paradise
Making it easy on the eyes
i know your thoughts are sharp and quick enough
To pin a fly, to trick the eye to collect dust
It becomes an idea when we give it a frame
We can talk about it when we give it a name
With a piece of lead between
How it is and how it seems
What is read and the word
What is said and what is heard

John

When you said, john, set the world on fire.
Did you mean, john,
Being alive
When you said, john, burning down in flames
Did you mean, john,
Turning 25
You're a town john, you love a stranger
You see shapes john, in the dark
There was no line up, john
In the lobby of adulthood
Why'd you do it john?
'Cause it felt good
Just
Like
You
Knew
It would.

Daddy's Hair Is Gone
05:35

Daddy's hair's gone, daddy's hair's gone,
Talking with the TV on. on.
Don't it sound sweet, don't it sound sweet
Names of cross streets, don't it sound sweet
Talk to me skull, talk to me skull
I remember you when you were whole
Take her out slow, take her out slow
The dying dog he is the last to know
Haunted parlour, eyes that wander
Check the mirror in her honour
Hangs in the air just like cologne
Climbs in your bed when you're alone
Talk to me skull, talk to me skull
I remember you when you were whole
Take her out slow, take her out slow
The dying dog he is the last to know

Howl

Backseat child that is in me
Do you want to see
Folks in passing cars please forgive me
If i seemed to look at you like you were
Something in a car windows blur
Howl and i'll be there
I will not howl back
i will not give you my soul
Just hold on to it 'til I'm back
Howl and i'll be there
I will not howl back
My thoughts are pack animals
And they're covering their tracks
My dad's a man and I'm just a guy
He said what works for the camera is unemployed in life
He said squeeze your city between thumb and forefinger
Now do the things that you feel feel that much bigger
Howl and i'll be there
I will not howl back
i will not give you my soul
Just hold on to it 'til I'm back
Howl and i'll be there
I will not howl back
My thoughts are pack animals
And they're covering their tracks
Howl and i'll be there
I will not howl back
It's christmas for the dream eaters
Underneath the cracks

big old churchbells playing to my town
big old churchbells playing to my town
but i don't hear them so well when the sun goes down
no i dont see my face and i don't hear a sound
People come up asking me for fire
People come up asking me for light
People close the blinds closed cause i'm tired
Tired of running tired of running all night
When i go in to a dream
My little old memory
Isn't much use to me
People coming up to me
I'm awake and that's all you'll get out of me
The trees are still here and that's surprising
When there's nothing around I can see my soul
We spent all day digging tunnels to the horizon
Well tonight the horizon's swallowing us whole
When i go in to a dream
My little old memory
Isn't much use to me
People coming up to me
I'm awake and that's all you'll get out of me

River Of Men
02:38
|

|
Well I'm going the river of men
Making farms from cement
Playing hungry hippos with yellow line
Trying to put them back in time
And i get in the car and i'm already gone
Now you can try to love me on the run
And i remember what makes these games so fun
They remind me I'm not the only one
Making plans in the dark
Playing strip go fish in the park
You know it's down hill all the way to California
Baby I can glow in the dark
Oh
Human tetris is what the workers play
Jenga is the game of the insane
And I remember what makes these games so fun
They remind me I'm not the only one

Don't Want To Haunt You
10:20
|
|||
|
Please don't go cold on me please don't go cold on me
You've still got a hold on me you've still got a hold on me
Everything that I said, everything that i said
Ain't worth a hair upon your head
A hair upon your head
This feeling has a home
A ghost town to it's own
i want to be alone
But being alone won't leave me alone
I don't want to haunt you, no i don't
I'm starin at the sun I'm starin at a gun
When your bull its are gone let me be your chosen 1
Punch the wall, punch the wall
No it don't hurt at all
I get ghost cell phone calls
No it dont hurt at all
This feeling has a home
A ghost town to it's own
I want to be alone
But being alone won't leave me alone
I don't want to haunt you, no i don't
Let the quiet do the work
Let the quiet do the work
Let it be your knife and fork
Yeah let the quiet do the work

I know you want to be there for me
But you're chasing me up a tree
Come on darling try
Come on darling try
I know you're tired
But you're wasting time

Never A Land So Dark
04:30
|
|||
|
There was never a land so dark
Never a tongue so parched
The predators were not yet hungry
And the prey did not yet play their part
The west the east the zodiac beasts
Knew peace because they did not know peace
And i made love to a diamond ring
And you would have done the same thing
And your name was just a sound
A million monkeys writing fate
They're throwing shit at a blank slate
In a basement full of typewriters
I heard footsteps sound above me
As sleep leaned in to love me
I began to stop thinking of me
And your name was just a sound
