As Always lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
I end up too weak to fake it
And you just suggest I throw it all away
Giving up too many afternoons
Now to groping for some apparition
when I should just be getting back to you
Open up
How can I open up?
I'm going to be like you as soon as the voices stop
Here's someone I never met before
Where the clown invites the clown,
I'll take you down and down and down
Remember we go
Sooner or later I will change and we will be all right
Never asked for an apology
You know I don't believe in mixed emotions
I can see we can't control the world
With your voice now front and back of me
I think you had me confused with the man who lost his nerve
The man who fell to Earth
And you just suggest I throw it all away
Giving up too many afternoons
Now to groping for some apparition
when I should just be getting back to you
Open up
How can I open up?
I'm going to be like you as soon as the voices stop
Here's someone I never met before
Where the clown invites the clown,
I'll take you down and down and down
Remember we go
Sooner or later I will change and we will be all right
Never asked for an apology
You know I don't believe in mixed emotions
I can see we can't control the world
With your voice now front and back of me
I think you had me confused with the man who lost his nerve
The man who fell to Earth
Blameless lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Why didn’t I just walk away?
I see what they’ve done to boys who refuse to bow down
Funny hour [?] of the setting sun
I burn right through the core of the earth to warn you about it
The latest trend is to pretend
And know what to follow around [?]
And you stare at the ceiling and leave me to steal from you
You’re walking away now, but I will not take anything
What’s done is done
Set them up, I will knock them down
You’re about to be stranded like me in this blameless American town
Don’t let them get to you
Did you think they’d be tying your shoes
Did you think they’d be bringing you around?
Your will just bends, as you pretend
And no one’s around
You stare at the ceiling, and leave me to steal from you
You’re walking away now, but I will not take anything
What’s done is done
And the farmer’s lost in the quicksand now, it is done
And I haven’t strength for the fixing now, it is done
To a mother and me, and the silence full of leaves
And the softest of touches will keep us from gnawing at the earth
And swinging at the breeze, and suddenly I...
I see what they’ve done to boys who refuse to bow down
Funny hour [?] of the setting sun
I burn right through the core of the earth to warn you about it
The latest trend is to pretend
And know what to follow around [?]
And you stare at the ceiling and leave me to steal from you
You’re walking away now, but I will not take anything
What’s done is done

And I haven’t strength for the fixing now, it is done
To a mother and me, and the silence full of leaves
And the softest of touches will keep us from gnawing at the earth

Only Run lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Hello Han!
I'm writing you from acid
I want to write to you Heaven just wants to smile at you
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
World, world, world, world
I just wanted to say
There is no plane,
Nothing was delivered
I drifted around you as would any feather.
I will end it,
We were built for pleasure.
Don't waste my time with your thinking.
I don't need to be strong,
I don't care anymore!
Oh, oh, oh, oh I'm away I'm away
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When I found you
Holding on to self pity
With your suitcase you said, "I'm ready!"
I cannot stand it, it's neither now nor never
I will not raise a hand to stop you!
I don't need to be strong
I don't care anymore!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah I'm away
Ah, but didn't it matter when they took the ladder and left us dangling?
When it wasn't injustice, but just that we never could believe them
Ignoring the danger, of weekends out trembling by the lake
I guess you couldn't quite hear me from where I imagined you were standing
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I'm writing you from acid
I want to write to you Heaven just wants to smile at you
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, It's a beautiful world
World, world, world, world
I just wanted to say
There is no plane,
Nothing was delivered
I drifted around you as would any feather.
I will end it,
We were built for pleasure.
Don't waste my time with your thinking.
I don't need to be strong,
I don't care anymore!
Oh, oh, oh, oh I'm away I'm away
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When I found you
Holding on to self pity
With your suitcase you said, "I'm ready!"
I cannot stand it, it's neither now nor never
I will not raise a hand to stop you!
I don't need to be strong
I don't care anymore!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah I'm away
Ah, but didn't it matter when they took the ladder and left us dangling?
When it wasn't injustice, but just that we never could believe them
Ignoring the danger, of weekends out trembling by the lake
I guess you couldn't quite hear me from where I imagined you were standing
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Your Advice lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
What you feel? Do you feel happier?
It was very nice
[?]
Your advice, ignore the new world
But it's easy for anyone to say
Loud as I wondered, in a new kind of torture
When the fight isn't bound, it just owes you a time
To awake it
I miss the comfort of your chains
And I miss the comfort of NSA
And now the fame it catches
As you set it in words
The morning bass is gold
The endless week-end
The endless week-end
But I'm doing alright
Weak and so fucking slowly
I miss the comfort of your chains
And I miss the comfort of NSA
And I miss the comfort of your advice
Ignore the new world
But it's easy for anyone to say
It was very nice
[?]
Your advice, ignore the new world
But it's easy for anyone to say
Loud as I wondered, in a new kind of torture
When the fight isn't bound, it just owes you a time
To awake it
I miss the comfort of your chains
And I miss the comfort of NSA
And now the fame it catches
As you set it in words
The morning bass is gold
The endless week-end
The endless week-end
But I'm doing alright
Weak and so fucking slowly
I miss the comfort of your chains
And I miss the comfort of NSA
And I miss the comfort of your advice
Ignore the new world
But it's easy for anyone to say
Beyond Illusion lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Now you can address me beyond illusion
With a cigarette tucked deep inside your chest
In the past I was a local loser
And I’m bound to say that I’m still on my back
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight alone
So you pushed me until I was one with the fire
But it still was not enough to bring me back
Daddy said it is getting late
No time to wait too late to wait
For what you asked and I reply
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight alone
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight...
Maybe it’ll be different when we give ourselves to the body and the open wound [?]
Tiptoe past the officer’s stars [?]
The shots come down from Hillary’s house
The sun is up, what is dangerous here [?]
Why did no one stop us from chasing our tears
Maybe it’ll be different when we give ourselves to the body and the open wound
So now you can address me beyond illusion
With a cigarette tucked deep inside your chest
In the past I was a local loser
And I’m bound to say that I’m still on my back
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight alone
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight
With a cigarette tucked deep inside your chest
In the past I was a local loser
And I’m bound to say that I’m still on my back
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight alone
So you pushed me until I was one with the fire
But it still was not enough to bring me back
Daddy said it is getting late
No time to wait too late to wait
For what you asked and I reply
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight alone
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight...
Maybe it’ll be different when we give ourselves to the body and the open wound [?]
Tiptoe past the officer’s stars [?]
The shots come down from Hillary’s house
The sun is up, what is dangerous here [?]
Why did no one stop us from chasing our tears
Maybe it’ll be different when we give ourselves to the body and the open wound
So now you can address me beyond illusion
With a cigarette tucked deep inside your chest
In the past I was a local loser
And I’m bound to say that I’m still on my back
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight alone
We were born to fly alone
We were born to fight
Impossible Request lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Go through the nights and wasted days
I wouldn't put anyone in my place
To see what I had in me
I cannot think, I cannot sleep
I get my honorary degree into the middle of the playground
And it was a stranger who took me away
Either way, I'm at the mercy of a stranger again
Who took me away
I did not argue with the law
The pretty lies will get you far
But you see, you cannot stay there
See a man upon the beach
Hes reaching everlasting peace
But he cant find words for self
There was a scene pulling me here
Either way, I'm at the mercy of a stranger again
Who took me away
I know you don't know
I'm asking too much
Got to ask an impossible request
Impossible request
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
I wouldn't put anyone in my place
To see what I had in me
I cannot think, I cannot sleep
I get my honorary degree into the middle of the playground
And it was a stranger who took me away
Either way, I'm at the mercy of a stranger again
Who took me away
I did not argue with the law
The pretty lies will get you far
But you see, you cannot stay there
See a man upon the beach
Hes reaching everlasting peace
But he cant find words for self
There was a scene pulling me here
Either way, I'm at the mercy of a stranger again
Who took me away
I know you don't know
I'm asking too much
Got to ask an impossible request
Impossible request
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Please don't ask me where I'm going
Ill tell you again Ill never go
Cover Up lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah (feat. Kid Koala)
And little bird, stand in the cover of my eyes
It would seem not so natal
Some sacred word, some stupid kick
So you've got me where you want
Into the breed
Into the spending of my mind
You've warned me instead
Now you got away
You got away
Time
Come and live through generalic ordinary things
No god would live in a home
Don't follow me
Just end the presumption and we are gone
Can he be leaning away
Just to give me a sense?
Of what I'd be missing from you
You got a way
You got a way
Time
You got a way
Time
How could I guess?
It would seem not so natal
Some sacred word, some stupid kick
So you've got me where you want
Into the breed
Into the spending of my mind
You've warned me instead
Now you got away
You got away
Time
Come and live through generalic ordinary things
No god would live in a home
Don't follow me
Just end the presumption and we are gone
Can he be leaning away
Just to give me a sense?
Of what I'd be missing from you
You got a way
You got a way
Time
You got a way
Time
How could I guess?
Same Mistake lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
On and open road and a virgin kick to chaos
with an angel tattooed to her inner thigh,
wild eyes reflected, and the neon sign.
I did not ask for love,
merely the same mistake
Don't be a fool with that,
your useless plastic pistol,
On my signal, we will drop our stupid
cause and disappear into the night.
As it stands, we're trading potions
for new potions to be swallowed whole.
We make the same mistake.
What to imply?
Have you picked a part?
Staying in the action.
Where's the action?
Here we are, drawing straws,
taking sides when we aren't
letting up and letting go.
Letting up.
Letting go.
Manacles and endless lists on a shelf.
Our wealth, it will be squandered
by subtle gusts of cold wind,
cars rusting below the bridge.
And shouts behind the factory,
at first frightening,
but it's just kids beginning
To make the same mistakes
On an open road
On an open road
On an open road
We make the same mistake
with an angel tattooed to her inner thigh,
wild eyes reflected, and the neon sign.
I did not ask for love,
merely the same mistake
Don't be a fool with that,
your useless plastic pistol,
On my signal, we will drop our stupid
cause and disappear into the night.
As it stands, we're trading potions
for new potions to be swallowed whole.
We make the same mistake.
What to imply?
Have you picked a part?
Staying in the action.
Where's the action?
Here we are, drawing straws,
taking sides when we aren't
letting up and letting go.
Letting up.
Letting go.
Manacles and endless lists on a shelf.
Our wealth, it will be squandered
by subtle gusts of cold wind,
cars rusting below the bridge.
And shouts behind the factory,
at first frightening,
but it's just kids beginning
To make the same mistakes
On an open road
On an open road
On an open road
We make the same mistake
Hysterical lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Here comes the newest apparition
To set fire to all the flowers
Now I should have known it was you who would call
When vainly I escaped into the ever-changing rapids
To your boat with a sign which read "get in and hold on"
Hysterical
Calls for luck
Heal the weak
We should just grow up
And so I hid behind the dishes in the night
Until you woke to find me trembling like an emasculated dog
There is no sense in even trying to track the weather pattern
Is it better to leave than to blindly hold on?
Hysterical
Calls for luck
Heal the weak
We should just...
Let me out
Of the rain
Let me down
I want to make
My last
Mistake
Hysterical
Calls for luck
Heal the weak
We should just grow up
To set fire to all the flowers
Now I should have known it was you who would call
When vainly I escaped into the ever-changing rapids
To your boat with a sign which read "get in and hold on"
Hysterical
Calls for luck
Heal the weak
We should just grow up
And so I hid behind the dishes in the night
Until you woke to find me trembling like an emasculated dog
There is no sense in even trying to track the weather pattern
Is it better to leave than to blindly hold on?
Hysterical
Calls for luck
Heal the weak
We should just...
Let me out
Of the rain
Let me down
I want to make
My last
Mistake
Hysterical
Calls for luck
Heal the weak
We should just grow up
Misspent Youth lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
The glory of a misspent youth,
chasing tire stains in muted thunder,
trading sex for drugs.
And my Ophelia does not drown,
she just barely hangs on.
Now driving drunk in Daddy's car.
Honey, I won't spoil the ending.
But see that bend up in the road?
Didn't it seem that the night
was a little too quiet?
When it seems your subjects
have all forgotten you,
I need you to pretend that you are mine.
And the water is just deep enough to
take another chance,
ah, but the river doesn't want you tonight.
The engine was not built to last.
And there's a permanence
to the memory of a bruise.
But I still take it on
the chin for you
You are not alone here,
but you ain't helping me none.
Disabled motorist
in the road, I have become one.
chasing tire stains in muted thunder,
trading sex for drugs.
And my Ophelia does not drown,
she just barely hangs on.
Now driving drunk in Daddy's car.
Honey, I won't spoil the ending.
But see that bend up in the road?
Didn't it seem that the night
was a little too quiet?
When it seems your subjects
have all forgotten you,
I need you to pretend that you are mine.
And the water is just deep enough to
take another chance,
ah, but the river doesn't want you tonight.
The engine was not built to last.
And there's a permanence
to the memory of a bruise.
But I still take it on
the chin for you
You are not alone here,
but you ain't helping me none.
Disabled motorist
in the road, I have become one.
Maniac lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Maniac, don't say it ain't nothin'
when I can see it in your eyes.
Of course, ceremonial weakness
lending them hard drugs.
But don't ask me if I understand
what is good for me tonight
Can't you see it's harmless,
a little light justice?
Some say, "So long. How could you?"
Some say, "Come, sit here by the fire."
I will just wave goodbye to ordinary
people's awkward situations.
Officer, you can take me,
but leave my daughter alone.
We could sit around forever, mama,
and find there are no stars in the sky.
we could page through
all our haunted diary thoughts.
I miss the way you stare at me
as if I were a memory.
Villain. Statue of marble.
And I don't want to touch your dark
thoughts anymore; let me leave them alone.
Now and then safe and sound
and send the clowns
to document with words and photos.
A brain on fire and slashed summer tires.
We all need somewhere to go.
There's some way out of this silent film
I've been living in,
but my mind got stuck and
I froze upon the burning coals
in another man's ritual.
We could sit around forever, mama,
and find there are no stars in the sky.
we could page through
all our haunted diary thoughts.
I miss the way you stare at me
as if I were a memory.
when I can see it in your eyes.
Of course, ceremonial weakness
lending them hard drugs.
But don't ask me if I understand
what is good for me tonight
Can't you see it's harmless,
a little light justice?
Some say, "So long. How could you?"
Some say, "Come, sit here by the fire."

Into Your Alien Arms lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Strangled caravan
Frustrated world-receiver
Space shuttle set down
In front of my mobile home
Where's the city plan?
Right there, undocumented
Our first encounter
Was criminally left off
I've fallen into your alien arms
I've never felt so good, so lost before
Do you remember when
I had that fever?
The walls were crumbling
The wheels were coming off
Let's just get some sand
Now I'm standing naked too
With your parachute billowing around
all our unborn thoughts
I've fallen into your alien arms
I've never felt so good, so lost before
What is my motivation?
To find some modern lover?
It seems that human nature too
swallowed me whole
What is my motivation?
To find some modern lover?
Frustrated world-receiver
Space shuttle set down
In front of my mobile home
Where's the city plan?
Right there, undocumented
Our first encounter
Was criminally left off
I've fallen into your alien arms
I've never felt so good, so lost before
Do you remember when
I had that fever?
The walls were crumbling
The wheels were coming off
Let's just get some sand
Now I'm standing naked too
With your parachute billowing around
all our unborn thoughts
I've fallen into your alien arms
I've never felt so good, so lost before
What is my motivation?
To find some modern lover?
It seems that human nature too
swallowed me whole
What is my motivation?
To find some modern lover?
In A Motel lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
And so I left when I was just a boy.
I swore I'd simply do it all over again.
And now up the hill with snow-bit,
blue-tipped fingers, blood from falling,
but I can't go back there no more
In frozen poses, venues lined with pillows,
Atlas shouldered some silly blunder or other
You ask for more than this,
but I don't know what more than this is.
Is it a motel,
with a fashion magazine,
in between towns?
I was thinking about my mother
and I wished ill upon myself.
Rachel don't come around here no more.
I hear she's living in Montana
with her brother. I wish her the best,
and I hope she can forget me.
But the ghost that comes around
is a dead-ringer for her.
I see her in my nightmares,
discussing modern literature
with her hands around my neck
in a motel
with a fashion magazine
in between towns.
I was thinking about my mother
and I wished ill upon myself.
I swore I'd simply do it all over again.
And now up the hill with snow-bit,
blue-tipped fingers, blood from falling,
but I can't go back there no more
In frozen poses, venues lined with pillows,
Atlas shouldered some silly blunder or other
You ask for more than this,
but I don't know what more than this is.
Is it a motel,
with a fashion magazine,
in between towns?
I was thinking about my mother
and I wished ill upon myself.
Rachel don't come around here no more.
I hear she's living in Montana
with her brother. I wish her the best,
and I hope she can forget me.
But the ghost that comes around
is a dead-ringer for her.
I see her in my nightmares,
discussing modern literature
with her hands around my neck
in a motel
with a fashion magazine
in between towns.
I was thinking about my mother

Yesterday, Never lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
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.
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
there are buildings up for sale on the other side of town
which are falling down for people
to stand in their place;

That's just a part of the story
And it could be maybe something complete someday

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

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

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
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

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

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)

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

Underwater (You And Me) lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Some songs see us sailing away
Navigating foreign borders
And climbing the waves
Someday your secret will be revealed
Am I the one you're thinking of
When the sun goes down into the water?
We're struck by the still of the moon
Hanging up there in the sky as though a balloon
Anchored by an astronaut's patriot tune
We will buy a ship and fly
To the land that would be rediscovered
We'll design a clever disguise
Or retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives
Underwater you and me
We'll escape beneath a violet sky
Clouds come
And night falls
You seem different
Oh my my!
Upon an endless trail of moonlight
They'll never realize that we have gone
We have dropped right out of
Out of sight
We'll design a clever disguise
Or retreat to the bottom of the se
We were destined to live out our lives
Underwater you and me
Navigating foreign borders
And climbing the waves
Someday your secret will be revealed
Am I the one you're thinking of
When the sun goes down into the water?
We're struck by the still of the moon
Hanging up there in the sky as though a balloon
Anchored by an astronaut's patriot tune
We will buy a ship and fly
To the land that would be rediscovered
We'll design a clever disguise
Or retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives
Underwater you and me
We'll escape beneath a violet sky
Clouds come
And night falls
You seem different
Oh my my!
Upon an endless trail of moonlight
They'll never realize that we have gone
We have dropped right out of
Out of sight
We'll design a clever disguise
Or retreat to the bottom of the se
We were destined to live out our lives
Underwater you and me

The Sword Song lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
There's a man at the home where we are
Just a man like I am
Human head, human heart, insane
Armageddon in the same small step to heaven
He's gone too far, too far
Now can you remember the last day
When no one had nothing left to say?
And everything stayed just the same
Stayed just the same
Your little mission wasn't helping nobody?
Uh, didn't it help you?
Well, now
Tell me father, don't you bother now!
Here's my head, here's my sword!
Don't you bother, don't you bother now!
Here's my head, here's my sword!
Just a man like I am
Human head, human heart, insane
Armageddon in the same small step to heaven
He's gone too far, too far
Now can you remember the last day
When no one had nothing left to say?
And everything stayed just the same
Stayed just the same
Your little mission wasn't helping nobody?
Uh, didn't it help you?
Well, now
Tell me father, don't you bother now!
Here's my head, here's my sword!
Don't you bother, don't you bother now!
Here's my head, here's my sword!
Clap Your Hands! lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Run the lip off sunshine shore
Betray white water
Delay dark forms
Slap young waves on wooden bones
Don't touch the laughter and away we go
Away we go
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I feel so lonely
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But it won't do nothing
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I have no money
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Are you up to something?
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Where's my milk and honey?
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I just look funny
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
I'll just wait awhile
As time alone stands still for some
Stuffed sailor up with eyeball sun
And if by castle ship should stray
It has like you no chosen fate for
It's tongue-tied caboose that leads
This ragged lad, this finger-flipping
Mom and dad (for what is worth some
Aimless steer?) And should mouth
Confuse my foggy mirror and reveal
What is not there I shall take this
Unbound train away...
Betray white water
Delay dark forms
Slap young waves on wooden bones
Don't touch the laughter and away we go
Away we go
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I feel so lonely
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But it won't do nothing
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I have no money
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Are you up to something?
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Where's my milk and honey?
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I just look funny
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
I'll just wait awhile
As time alone stands still for some
Stuffed sailor up with eyeball sun
And if by castle ship should stray
It has like you no chosen fate for
It's tongue-tied caboose that leads
This ragged lad, this finger-flipping
Mom and dad (for what is worth some
Aimless steer?) And should mouth
Confuse my foggy mirror and reveal
What is not there I shall take this
Unbound train away...
Let The Cool Goddess Rust Away lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
I found
A new face
A new image staring back at me
Let the Cool
Goddess Rust Away
Let the Cool
Goddess Rust Away
You so different
In a different way
But what goes up has so far down to fall
So go salvage
Some of that human dignity
It'll be a long
Hard
Road
A new face
A new image staring back at me
Let the Cool
Goddess Rust Away
Let the Cool
Goddess Rust Away
You so different
In a different way
But what goes up has so far down to fall
So go salvage
Some of that human dignity
It'll be a long
Hard
Road
Over And Over Again (Lost & Found) lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
I heard it from a friend
The Revolution never happened
Sigh
A little die
No more a child
Goodbye
No where's the woolen sweater
You mentioned in the letter?
Imply
The other guy
And scandalize the lion
A clean shave in the morning
And a full beard with no warning
Time has gotten by on alibis and wine
Success is so forbidding
But it makes me think I'm winning
Quiet
Dim the lights
Adopt another lifestyle
You look like David Bowie
But you've nothing new to show me
Start another fire
And watch it slowly die
The Revolution never happened
Sigh
A little die
No more a child
Goodbye
No where's the woolen sweater
You mentioned in the letter?
Imply
The other guy
And scandalize the lion
A clean shave in the morning
And a full beard with no warning
Time has gotten by on alibis and wine
Success is so forbidding
But it makes me think I'm winning
Quiet
Dim the lights
Adopt another lifestyle
You look like David Bowie
But you've nothing new to show me
Start another fire
And watch it slowly die
Details Of The War lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Bloody sheets
Tenderly she moves me
An opera star
Dying hard for love
You say I'm hurt
I will take your word
Leather pants
Happiness
A hundred dollars
Buy success
Hanging with your fashionable whores
And I'm a wounded bird
I will take your word
You and tom (you and tom)
To the prom (to the prom)
Camel dick (camel dick)
Crucifix (crucifix)
Everyone's the same and on and on
Emerging from the football stands
Clinging to his broken hand
It's over I have seen it all before
Nakedness (nakedness)
A flying lesson
Tattered dress
Sunburned chest
You will pay for your excessive charm
With a boy who knows
Less than he thinks
Drinks up his expensive drinks
Be careful with the DETAILS OF THE WAR
Tenderly she moves me
An opera star
Dying hard for love
You say I'm hurt
I will take your word
Leather pants
Happiness
A hundred dollars
Buy success
Hanging with your fashionable whores
And I'm a wounded bird
I will take your word
You and tom (you and tom)
To the prom (to the prom)
Camel dick (camel dick)
Crucifix (crucifix)
Everyone's the same and on and on
Emerging from the football stands
Clinging to his broken hand
It's over I have seen it all before
Nakedness (nakedness)
A flying lesson
Tattered dress
Sunburned chest
You will pay for your excessive charm
With a boy who knows
Less than he thinks
Drinks up his expensive drinks
Be careful with the DETAILS OF THE WAR
The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Once - The dogs have quit their barking
"Son," - my neighbor said to me.
"Know the emptiness of talking blue
the same old sheep."
Run - I'll do no more this walking
Haunted by a past I just can't see
Anymore
Anymore
But let me tell you I have never planned
To let go of the hand that has been
Clinging by its thick country skin
To my yellow country teeth
Far - Far away from West Virginia
I - Will try on New York City
Explaining that the sky holds the
Wind the sun rushes in and a child
With a shotgun can shoot down
Honeybees that sting
BUT THIS BOY COULD USE A LITTLE STING!
Who - Will get me to a party?
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
You - You look a bit like coffee
And you taste a bit like me
How - Can I keep me from moving?
Now - I need a change of scenery
Just listen to me I won't pretend to
Understand the movement of the wind
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
Like the hours I change softly slowly
Plainly blindly oh me oh my!
"Son," - my neighbor said to me.
"Know the emptiness of talking blue
the same old sheep."
Run - I'll do no more this walking
Haunted by a past I just can't see
Anymore
Anymore
But let me tell you I have never planned
To let go of the hand that has been
Clinging by its thick country skin
To my yellow country teeth
Far - Far away from West Virginia
I - Will try on New York City
Explaining that the sky holds the
Wind the sun rushes in and a child
With a shotgun can shoot down
Honeybees that sting
BUT THIS BOY COULD USE A LITTLE STING!
Who - Will get me to a party?
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
You - You look a bit like coffee
And you taste a bit like me
How - Can I keep me from moving?
Now - I need a change of scenery
Just listen to me I won't pretend to
Understand the movement of the wind
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
Like the hours I change softly slowly
Plainly blindly oh me oh my!
Is This Love? lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
You're so much different than me yea
I know
And I'm my only enemy
Pain is all that I can see oh
I see you're climbing a tree
And I know
That it's easier to be up high in
The air than oh the ground
And it's love, etc.
You say you can't say anymore
You've already said it before
In a million different ways which
Were all not quite right
The rain is loud on the ground
Well I know
But I don't even make a sound when
I come around oh
And you say I'd be better off dead
This I know
But it's no use hiding this pretty
Head in the ground
And it's love, etc.
And we can do the zarathustra
We can do the broken fist
We can tear down all the borders
Or abbreviate the list
And when finally the finish line
Emerges from the mist we'll sound
A soft alarm
I know
And I'm my only enemy
Pain is all that I can see oh
I see you're climbing a tree
And I know
That it's easier to be up high in
The air than oh the ground
And it's love, etc.
You say you can't say anymore
You've already said it before
In a million different ways which
Were all not quite right
The rain is loud on the ground
Well I know
But I don't even make a sound when
I come around oh
And you say I'd be better off dead
This I know
But it's no use hiding this pretty
Head in the ground
And it's love, etc.
And we can do the zarathustra
We can do the broken fist
We can tear down all the borders
Or abbreviate the list
And when finally the finish line
Emerges from the mist we'll sound
A soft alarm
Heavy Metal lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Now all the secrets of old age
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh
It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh
It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
In This Home On Ice lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Blue you radiant blue
I don't know how you can stand next to me
You you talk like a noose
And only confuse my perplexity
Now that I'm so sad and not quite right
I could dance all night
I could dance all night
Shake your rattle-snake skin
And become a part of society
Wait on down the highway
To see how far I'll come a-run a-run
run running
All that we had salvaged from the fire
Was a waste of time
(But) what a waste of time
Should I trust all the rust that's on TV
I guess with some distaste I disagree
With quite a fashionable dispassion for
The dispossessed under-stressed
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
And I don't care if you don't like it
Or just don't see
Now that we fattened the cow
And set out to plow unknown enemies
"Wow!" shouts the startled crowd
"How now did you see what I did see?"
the ravaged cabbage drifts on dark red skies
and it looks so nice
gee it looks so nice
shout just let it on out
confusion becomes a philosophy
down we're reaching the town where we
don't have to stand around and look
over our shoulders
hell I never knew was what we made it
let's just take it slow IN THIS HOME ON ICE
I don't know how you can stand next to me
You you talk like a noose
And only confuse my perplexity
Now that I'm so sad and not quite right
I could dance all night
I could dance all night
Shake your rattle-snake skin
And become a part of society
Wait on down the highway
To see how far I'll come a-run a-run
run running
All that we had salvaged from the fire
Was a waste of time
(But) what a waste of time
Should I trust all the rust that's on TV
I guess with some distaste I disagree
With quite a fashionable dispassion for
The dispossessed under-stressed
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
And I don't care if you don't like it
Or just don't see
Now that we fattened the cow
And set out to plow unknown enemies
"Wow!" shouts the startled crowd
"How now did you see what I did see?"
the ravaged cabbage drifts on dark red skies
and it looks so nice
gee it looks so nice
shout just let it on out
confusion becomes a philosophy
down we're reaching the town where we
don't have to stand around and look
over our shoulders
hell I never knew was what we made it
let's just take it slow IN THIS HOME ON ICE
Gimme Some Salt lyrics - Clap your hands and say yeah
Sally hit the pavement
Wineglass in her hand
Sally's rearrangement
I'll never understand
But little did I wonder
(little did I try)
her little bit of thunder
her little bit of lightning
(lightning)
Sucka sucka MC
Sing my favorite song
Sing it for the dancing
Sing it for somber one
Curious velocity
Brought me to a halt
Flatten me my baby
Gimmie some salt
She was always asking
Where's the nearest bar?
Pedal on the gas kid
Getting playing hard hard
I was in the kitchen
Cooking up a shark
Sally's out preparing
Witty remarks
Wineglass in her hand
Sally's rearrangement
I'll never understand
But little did I wonder
(little did I try)
her little bit of thunder
her little bit of lightning
(lightning)
Sucka sucka MC
Sing my favorite song
Sing it for the dancing
Sing it for somber one
Curious velocity
Brought me to a halt
Flatten me my baby
Gimmie some salt
She was always asking
Where's the nearest bar?
Pedal on the gas kid
Getting playing hard hard
I was in the kitchen
Cooking up a shark
Sally's out preparing
Witty remarks
