Cicada 03:52
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 01:57
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 02:27
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 04:42
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 05:05
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 03:30
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 04:38
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 02:42
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.
