Misunderstood, I'll bet,
and you will ask me to answer
what I can't know.
It's safe to say I wasn't with you then,
and it is hard to tell if I am now.
It is hard to tell if I am now.
The scientist tracked the wild
beast through the jungle
and straight to your door.
You shot it dead, and you took
its head and put it high upon your wall.
With a head upon your wall.
In your article, how did you put it?
You had me 'round your finger, did you?
Microphone, sick spit on it,
make me feel no shame for a moment
Yesterday, yesterday never was.
Yesterday never was.
Yesterday, never.
Idiot lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
A comet's tail, a hairy star
You swimming to an island
peeking through the sea
On a quiet night,
you left your devoted husband
and ran around like you was young again
But the devil don't care what you do
The only one who cares is you
From a cirrus cloud
You got so far away and how could
you have expected me to see you?
The sun will go down
and as surely as the day ends
you will lose control again
But the devil don't care what you do
The only one who cares is you
Damnable
My impatience is unforgivable
You better escape while you can
but uncertainty it has tied you to this rock
Now the needle draws no blood
But the devil don't care what you do
The only one who cares is you
You swimming to an island
peeking through the sea
On a quiet night,
you left your devoted husband
and ran around like you was young again
But the devil don't care what you do
The only one who cares is you
From a cirrus cloud
You got so far away and how could
you have expected me to see you?
The sun will go down
and as surely as the day ends
you will lose control again
But the devil don't care what you do
The only one who cares is you
Damnable
My impatience is unforgivable
You better escape while you can
but uncertainty it has tied you to this rock
Now the needle draws no blood
But the devil don't care what you do
The only one who cares is you
Siesta (For Snake) lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Human shit and cigarettes
and weekends away in the city
Far too far gone to well-say
It seems today's like any other day
You just call me up to tell me
you're gone when I already know
You couldn't stand it any longer
A Mexican engineer
who told me I should do some running
before it gets too goddamn late
now stealing cars in Guanajuato
The drag queen comes to the window
She says I'd been told you had already gone
Why don't you stay a little longer?
Shutting
Shutting
Shutting down
Closing up for awhile
Shutting
Shutting
Shutting down
Forget me now
Human shit and cigarettes
And weekends away in the city
Far too far gone to well-say
It seems today's like any other day
and weekends away in the city
Far too far gone to well-say
It seems today's like any other day
You just call me up to tell me
you're gone when I already know
You couldn't stand it any longer
A Mexican engineer
who told me I should do some running
before it gets too goddamn late
now stealing cars in Guanajuato
The drag queen comes to the window
She says I'd been told you had already gone
Why don't you stay a little longer?
Shutting
Shutting
Shutting down
Closing up for awhile
Shutting
Shutting
Shutting down
Forget me now
Human shit and cigarettes
And weekends away in the city
Far too far gone to well-say
It seems today's like any other day
Ketamine And Ecstasy lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Ketamine and ecstasy
Your words are hanging in the trees
A whole university just rises
Don't ask to sooth me
I'm deaf and muted
It seems that I would have to do
Me trying to hold on to you
And you trying not to put up a fight
Have I become a stranger to this country?
Was I ever even in any country at all?
I want you what you want out of this
You can be sure
Here comes the rain again
To wash away what we had
We'll find yourself a substitute
To loose the dogs upon the shoot
You say the car can steer itself tonight
Running around as the nightmare clouds
Are bare enough till I will cry
As anyone can see we're meant to be
Well we don't really belong
Have I become a stranger to this country?
Was there ever even any country at all?
I want what you want out of this
You can be sure
I want what you want out of this
You can be sure
I want what you want out of this
You can be sure
Here comes the rain again
To wash away what we have run
Your words are hanging in the trees
A whole university just rises
Don't ask to sooth me
I'm deaf and muted
It seems that I would have to do
Me trying to hold on to you
And you trying not to put up a fight
Have I become a stranger to this country?
Was I ever even in any country at all?
I want you what you want out of this
You can be sure
Here comes the rain again
To wash away what we had
We'll find yourself a substitute
To loose the dogs upon the shoot
You say the car can steer itself tonight
Running around as the nightmare clouds
Are bare enough till I will cry
As anyone can see we're meant to be
Well we don't really belong
Have I become a stranger to this country?
Was there ever even any country at all?
I want what you want out of this
You can be sure
I want what you want out of this
You can be sure
I want what you want out of this
You can be sure
Here comes the rain again
To wash away what we have run
The Witness' Dull Surprise lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Oh well, the rain it never stops here
Is it strange that I no longer see the hand in front of my face?
Just short of longing for the past
And short of asking for forgiveness
You read my palm and suggested that I find a new apartment
All of our sleepless nights came crashing through the window
Now you know
What it means to fly
Now you understand
The witness' dull surprise
My dear, just show me where it hurts
And I'll draw blood to make it better,
I will do anything.
Turns out the man with all the answers
Wrote from within the asylum
And I guess we should have figured as his poems contained no letters
He wrote, "All of my sleepless nights came crashing through the window."
Now you know
What it means to fly
Now you understand
With the tears and old acquaintances and waiting for the pulse to quicken,
waiting for the day when things turn out as you had imagined, the wait
And I had only just begun to speak with my broken memory
Oh well, the rain it never stops here
Is it strange that I no longer see the palm in front of my face?
Is it strange that I no longer see the hand in front of my face?
Just short of longing for the past
And short of asking for forgiveness
You read my palm and suggested that I find a new apartment
All of our sleepless nights came crashing through the window
Now you know
What it means to fly
Now you understand
The witness' dull surprise
My dear, just show me where it hurts
And I'll draw blood to make it better,
I will do anything.
Turns out the man with all the answers
Wrote from within the asylum
And I guess we should have figured as his poems contained no letters
He wrote, "All of my sleepless nights came crashing through the window."
Now you know
What it means to fly
Now you understand
With the tears and old acquaintances and waiting for the pulse to quicken,
waiting for the day when things turn out as you had imagined, the wait
And I had only just begun to speak with my broken memory
Oh well, the rain it never stops here
Is it strange that I no longer see the palm in front of my face?
Adam's Plane lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
When Adam's plane went down in Rome
I thought I was the last to see him
Standing all alone on the sidewalk
Maybe I was too young to know
Maybe I saw a bit of me in him
And in the strange wind whipping all around us
We began ordinary citizens
Washed up and so what?
Born late
Too late
God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit
When Adam's plane went down in France
I just covered up his body
I'll admit I didn't know what I was doing
Maybe I should have looked ahead
Or lived only for the moment
With a bit of red wine,
he stumbled in to meet me
Who am I to complain?
Washed up and so what?
Born late
Too late
God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit
but Adam says, "I'm fine."
When Adam's plane went down in Oklahoma
I had nearly forgotten all about him
There was no blood
He had no holes cut through him
Still I looked away
Let me try to explain
He's still alive and he's haunting me
We may end caged animals
God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit
but Adam says, "I'm fine."
In a way, we looked over our shoulders
In a way, made it hard for ourselves
In the sky is a bird that considers
Where to fly and nobody else
In a way, we were old to begin with
In a way, made it hard for ourselves
In the sky is a bird that considers
Where to fly and nobody else
I thought I was the last to see him
Standing all alone on the sidewalk
Maybe I was too young to know
Maybe I saw a bit of me in him
And in the strange wind whipping all around us
We began ordinary citizens
Washed up and so what?
Born late
Too late
God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit
When Adam's plane went down in France
I just covered up his body
I'll admit I didn't know what I was doing
Maybe I should have looked ahead
Or lived only for the moment
With a bit of red wine,
he stumbled in to meet me
Who am I to complain?
Washed up and so what?
Born late
Too late
God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit
but Adam says, "I'm fine."
When Adam's plane went down in Oklahoma
I had nearly forgotten all about him
There was no blood
He had no holes cut through him
Still I looked away
Let me try to explain
He's still alive and he's haunting me
We may end caged animals
God, it seems we've been stumbling a bit
but Adam says, "I'm fine."
In a way, we looked over our shoulders
In a way, made it hard for ourselves
In the sky is a bird that considers
Where to fly and nobody else
In a way, we were old to begin with
In a way, made it hard for ourselves
In the sky is a bird that considers
Where to fly and nobody else
Some Loud Thunder lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
All this talking
you'd think I'd have something to say
but I'm just talking
like a siren getting louder and farther away
from the energetic kids in the park yes that was me
breaking glass and pretending to start
something big
some new taste
Did you wander
as my voice went from station to station to state?
Some loud thunder
sometimes there's no telling if we're ok
there are buildings up for sale on the other side of town
which are falling down for people
to stand in their place;
to try to make something great
That's just a part of the story
And it could be maybe something complete someday
At the end of the quarry
yes that was me digging holes for all the world to see
A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky
and slap us all on the teeth
But there's always more unless I'm mistaken
tell me when do mouths close
and people gracefully retreat
New York calling
at the bottom of the ocean city gritting its teeth
but there's no telling
from the telepathic Mrs. Crying on live TV
Whoah the misanthropic topical arrangement
that is met with a shark bite by the terminal patient
That's me
Am I late?
That's the state of my story
and it may be one day something complete
At the end of the quarry
I have dug a hole for all the world to see
A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky
and slap us all on the feet
but there's always mre unless I'm mistaken
Tell me when do mouths close
and people gracefully retreat?
you'd think I'd have something to say
but I'm just talking
like a siren getting louder and farther away
from the energetic kids in the park yes that was me
breaking glass and pretending to start
something big
some new taste
Did you wander
as my voice went from station to station to state?
Some loud thunder
sometimes there's no telling if we're ok

A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky
and slap us all on the teeth
But there's always more unless I'm mistaken

Emily Jean Stock lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
You look so neat
Everyday is your birthday
You're such a treat
I'm just a drip in your faucet
Before the party's over
Before the highway road
Before the day begins
There's something I need to say
There's no one else
There is no one quite so perfect
When you're foreign bound
I am the coin in your pocket
Just wait for me the night through
Like I do for you
There's no one left to cry boo hoo
play it through ok ok ok ok oh
You're not like me
It seems that people stick like flies to you
And my mystery
Is just that I've no one to cling to
I think it's the Chinese New Year
Of this I'm fairly clear
And what better way to celebrate
Than run away with little boy blue?
Come along now now now now now
Don't think on an offer that you can't refuse
Yesterday's not quite the same let's make it plain
There are things that I can do
Some day we're going to make it all right
It is a radio tells me so.
Everyday is your birthday
You're such a treat
I'm just a drip in your faucet
Before the party's over
Before the highway road
Before the day begins
There's something I need to say
There's no one else
There is no one quite so perfect
When you're foreign bound
I am the coin in your pocket
Just wait for me the night through
Like I do for you
There's no one left to cry boo hoo
play it through ok ok ok ok oh
You're not like me
It seems that people stick like flies to you
And my mystery
Is just that I've no one to cling to
I think it's the Chinese New Year
Of this I'm fairly clear
And what better way to celebrate
Than run away with little boy blue?
Come along now now now now now
Don't think on an offer that you can't refuse
Yesterday's not quite the same let's make it plain
There are things that I can do
Some day we're going to make it all right

Mama, Won't You Keep Them Castles In The Air And Burning? lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Invisible like all the reasons
Dark and cold like all the seasons
Things are not as you would have them
I'm no man and you're no woman
I guess I hope to see you sometime
Though our paths will never intertwine again
I hope you notice
I'm no hare and you're no tortoise
And I'm touched by the same sad feeling of dread
Just to know that you can't wait to see me dead
An idea in your head and a compass in your hand
On a mission to a foreign land
So now I'm out for political favors
A salary that corresponds with labor
Big house and a morning paper
Good fences that make good neighbors
I'm at the end
This here my rope
Another year to write and read the book I wrote
Now dialing out
For a good time
To bathroom wall
Toss it a dime
Dead king dead swing
Ali look out!
We have new rules
To do without
You talk of Jesus
Until I'm well red
The man is
Swimming
Swimming
Swimming in my head
Why settle down?
Why even try?
Me tiger mouth
Meet bloodless eye
So drop dead stock
What fallen tree?
I leave New York
For other cities
Which let me play
With gas and fire
Took out an ad
Best friend for hire
Know that Mama told me
Never to come
But I came softly, slowly
Banging me metal drum
Like Berryman
Bed-wet poet fears
That better man drink taller beers
Like scientist
I lost my glove
To bloody fists
And harder drugs
So split the night
And we get young
Like sacred cow
Without a tongue who sang a song sing
"time does not cut deep
But cuts most absurdly....."
so la da dum
Dark and cold like all the seasons
Things are not as you would have them
I'm no man and you're no woman
I guess I hope to see you sometime
Though our paths will never intertwine again
I hope you notice
I'm no hare and you're no tortoise
And I'm touched by the same sad feeling of dread
Just to know that you can't wait to see me dead
An idea in your head and a compass in your hand
On a mission to a foreign land

Good fences that make good neighbors

Love Song No. 7 lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Now that you're hear and see
Everyone of us seem to take the wrong way home
Now that you're safe with me
Trying to get a handle on the neighbor's lawn
We're safe and sound
So safe for now
How does it taste to be swinging away for the night?
Doctor said son you should carry a gun (for to) be alright...
but it's the way that you talk and it's the way that you move around
Gravity's one thing and
Gravity's something, but
Hows about coming down?
There's a time and place in which to be alone
(but lately it just don't seem so alluring)
You're no good not around
Your elevator skipping all me best-dressed floors
We're safe and sound
So safe for now
Weird but you're back talking
Everyone of us seem to take the wrong way home
Now that you're safe with me
Trying to get a handle on the neighbor's lawn
We're safe and sound
So safe for now
How does it taste to be swinging away for the night?
Doctor said son you should carry a gun (for to) be alright...
but it's the way that you talk and it's the way that you move around
Gravity's one thing and
Gravity's something, but
Hows about coming down?
There's a time and place in which to be alone
(but lately it just don't seem so alluring)
You're no good not around
Your elevator skipping all me best-dressed floors
We're safe and sound
So safe for now
Weird but you're back talking
Satan Said Dance lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
How did I arrive in a place like this?
Red right hand does the alligator kiss
My hair turns white and my face turns green
But my feet are still moving if you know what I mean
Satan said dance
He says to me to shake around
And don't stop 'til you hit the ground
And I know it is not how you thought it would be
No whips no chains just dancing dancing dancing dancing
dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing
dancing dancing dancing dancing
Satan said dance
Red right hand does the alligator kiss
My hair turns white and my face turns green
But my feet are still moving if you know what I mean
Satan said dance
He says to me to shake around
And don't stop 'til you hit the ground
And I know it is not how you thought it would be
No whips no chains just dancing dancing dancing dancing
dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing
dancing dancing dancing dancing
Satan said dance
Goodbye To Mother And The Cove lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
She smiles
Then she laughs and then
She rights the wheel
On the road again
While all you fear are her thighs
A man
makes a man a man
is that the way
to kiss a friend?
She is not
She is so
Kindly meet me under stairs
a city skyline just don't care what comes
but we should mind that we don't
To sound
Them bells
Skin thick
To tell
Not sick
Nor well
The air
To speak
The nose
The feet
The ear
To see
Too fool
To stop
Too late
Blue cop
And you
Are meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
To wear
No clothes
To strike
No pose
No hook
No shoes
Quick eat
Then home
To clean them bones
To stick
To guts
The art
Of loud
Too neat
Too proud
No taste
No foul
The part
To keep
To yield
To beat.....
Then she laughs and then
She rights the wheel
On the road again
While all you fear are her thighs
A man
makes a man a man
is that the way
to kiss a friend?
She is not
She is so
Kindly meet me under stairs
a city skyline just don't care what comes
but we should mind that we don't
To sound
Them bells
Skin thick
To tell
Not sick
Nor well
The air
To speak
The nose
The feet
The ear
To see
Too fool
To stop
Too late
Blue cop
And you
Are meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
To wear
No clothes
To strike
No pose
No hook
No shoes
Quick eat
Then home
To clean them bones
To stick
To guts
The art
Of loud
Too neat
Too proud
No taste
No foul
The part

Yankee Go Home lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Try Jamaica
(I) think they'll take you
Honolulu
How do you do?
I'll make a quick stop
My fair-lady pill pop
Before catching the bus to good lord knows where's what
(Catch me)
falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here
Salad nicoise
Good to meet you
Carcasonne hon'
Stands next to no one
The rake at the door has been taking a tour
Of this tar (and) feather land and good lord knows
that I am now
Falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here
Yankee go
Yankee go home
The gas prices are getting higher
As the rain falls upon dry land
Yankee go home
Senses burn man
when the deck-hand
Plays a flute which
Reminds me of you oh
That night have some patience
And girls who are singing of strangers and sailors
There are gunfights
There are neckties
A little history
A little sunlight
Alright
Yankee go home
Papa said
Papa said
Pa said get used to it
Pa said get used to it
Pa said it gets so goddamn hard but I get used to it
Pa said get used to it
(I) think they'll take you
Honolulu
How do you do?
I'll make a quick stop
My fair-lady pill pop
Before catching the bus to good lord knows where's what
(Catch me)
falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here
Salad nicoise
Good to meet you
Carcasonne hon'
Stands next to no one
The rake at the door has been taking a tour
Of this tar (and) feather land and good lord knows

Falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here

The gas prices are getting higher
As the rain falls upon dry land

Plays a flute which
Reminds me of you oh
That night have some patience
And girls who are singing of strangers and sailors
There are gunfights
There are neckties
A little history
A little sunlight
Alright
