CICADA
I’ve got one
Only
Empty place
Left to hide
But you
Don't let me die
Even when
I want to die
You just rain down your water
And shine down your sun
Help me wake from this slumber
So we can be one
Only
Empty place
Left to hide
You’re living
Everywhere
And I can’t be found
You, you’re living everywhere
And I, I’m in the ground
You keep on telling me
That we, we’ll climb the trees
And if we can meet in the branches
We can fight to be free

MAYDAY
I’m trying to surrender.
Oh oh it’s hard giving in.
You’re my heads up penny.
You’re where my luck begins.
I tried to reach you
Out here in the middle of the sea
Where there’s fishes with wings,
But they don’t mean a thing
If I don’t have you in this garden with me.
You said that your king is clean.
I, I told you my secrects.
Oh oh, I made you my queen.
But I’m torn up and dirty like you can not believe.
And I won’t be soaked in bleach.
My hearts in the hills and my tail is crooked.
You said, I can claw down the walls.
You said, I can dance on your gold.
Oh oh, won’t you come with me,
Lick my legs, say you’ll never leave me.
Mayday on the Carolina Queen.
Mayday on the Carolina Queen.
Mayday on the Carolina Queen.
Lick my legs, say you’ll never leave me.

Scattered
She’s one who watches over
The corner liquor store.
Her sleepy silver eyes are
Watching so much more.
Oh, with your rubber ball eyelids
And all your little red shoes
Under this beautiful buglight
Woman, you light the moon.
Little Jules is walking
I notice through some vines
I know that we’re all scattered,
But man you’re hard to find.
This world is burning my eyes and
Maryland’s turned black and white.
This dream is getting much darker
Could someone turn on the lights?
Never be the one, (two, three)
Who says the love is gone.
Never, even ever, gonna make it alone.

FORGETFUL
Rubbing your head ain’t
Gone make this go away.
Glassy eyed leaning
On strangers today.
Are you too blue?
Staring at pictures
From Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Stepping off the train
You forgot what you brang.
And I’m gone, just like you.
But for me, it’s not today.
It looks like I’ll stay for a while
And rake this pile of leaves.
You and me babe,
Been running for a while.
This car’s held together with
duct tape and wires.
Let’s drive as fast as we can.
You set the house on fire,
What a sight to see.
Now I’m walking through this desert to find
How cold the night can be.
And I’m running back to you.
Do you like what you see?
When you’re looking back at me, from the trees,
and smile at this pile of leaves?
Without love to guide you
You sink like a stone
And I’m gone, just like you.

DAEDALUS
Don't I, don't I owe you something?
You say, you'll pay and I
Can keep the change.
But your secrets are see through.
Like alabaster windows.
Would that you could
See what I see.
These walls are paper thin,
Everyone can hear.
We dream in disaster
And run right away.
Don't I, don't I owe you something?
Don't I know your name?
I can still see your face with
Those steel blue eyes,
A ghost town disaster,
A cowboy disguise.
She tried to reach you,
Have one sunny day,
But your name is abandon
So you run right away.
Don't I, don't I owe you something?
And you know and I know that I
Can't pay you back.
You're a Daedalus man
Tried to keep me from falling,
But I never could hear,
Don't see nothing at all.
I flew to the sky
And I crashed to the ground
But the story was wrong
Cause I never did drown.
You save me.
And we run right away.
Don't I, don't I owe you something?

BLIND MAN’S WINTER SUIT
You were just a little child
Running acres in the wild
Making faces come up
Don't let 'em leave.
Give me just a little while
To put my teeth back in this jar,
Let my legs come down
And pull myself around for a little...
You get off
When I get on.
We keep from starving
By sucking on stones.
We’re driving home by
Burning bones.
The future's buzzing like a
broken light bulb.
You and me, we're just living on love.
Gonna make this road by walking
Ain't no such thing as halfway broken.
And we’re not broken.
We’ll never be broken.
Nina Gray!
Nina Gray!
Lyubimaya!

DAMN THE MOON
Looks like the sun's rays
Gone blow up the moon.
Even on bad days,
We're just plants that bloom.
We turn our heads
To hide our feelings.
Lie dead on the ground.
It seems so easy
To turn our brains
To disco rooms
And drink Champagne
To forget about you.
I’ll skip out of my skin.
I’ll be a skeleton.
I’m pushing up this cloud,
Cause you’re looking down.
When the Sea of Trees
Is calling your name
And there’s no one around
And it all seems the same.
Damn these blues
And damn the moon
And damn those fools
Been fucking with you.
Looks like the sun's rays
Gone blow up the moon.
Even on bad days,
We're just plants that bloom.

WAXWORKS
I’m sorry you can’t take me.
I wish that I could go.
Pictures are like waxworks.
You made me go
Now I let you go.
I dreamed that our love was sick
throwing up rainbows
Starlight pins in her eyes
Shooting arrows at the sun
This world’s dying
Glowing still.
You came by on roller skates
imaginary windmills
Going ‘round in crazy eights
Singin’ a lovely song.
People crying
You lie still.
It’s hidden in the grasses
That I drew for you.
The wish that I could live on
And that you could too.
You made me go
Now I let you go?

BLACK DREAMS
Another gun takes someone’s son
And another day goes by.
Nous sommes les enfants
Avec les reves noir.
People walking
On the moon
Having a hard time
Getting home.
God is in your eyes,
Is that what made you
Go blind?
Nous sommes les enfants
Avec les reves noir.
We know our cups are broken,
We've seen rivers overflow.
Fake owls are living
On ledges made for jumping.
Real skies will open
When your clouds are filled with rain.
Nous sommes les enfants
Avec les reves noir.
We are
Your war
No more.
Ca suffit.
Ca suffit.

SOMETHING
I’m gone walk right next to you,
You gone walk right next to me.
This is how its going to be,
For you and for me.
I’m begging you baby, please.
I’m gone let my blossom bloom,
My train be coming soon.
I feel so free in your company,
I’m gone let my blossom bloom.
She’s been hanging round nothing,
Worryin’ about her enemies.
But you can’t make nothing from nothing,
Ain’t gone be like that for you and me.
I’m gone let my blossom bloom
And walk right next to you.
I feel so free in your company,
I'm gone let my blossom bloom.
