They called the clip a two-headed cow
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck, pilgrimage
Rest assured this will not last, take a turn for the worst
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck, a two headed cow
The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune
Speakin' in tongues, it's worth a broken lip
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck, pilgrimage
Rest assured this will not last, take a turn for the worst
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck, a two headed cow
The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take a turn

Mr. Richards, your position
Is a messenger pigeon
Left behind you when the camp moved on
We thought that you would listen
But the words had never crystallized
Into a truth that you might own, hey hey
Mr. Richards, your decision
Pay attention, pay attention
Mr. Richards, you're forgiven
For a narrow lack of vision
But the fire's are still raging on
The public's got opinions
And these consequences border on
The compound that you raised will sell it see, hey hey
Mr. Richards, your decision
Pay attention, pay attention
So listen, your intention
Sign the papers, stamp the ribbon
You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget
You can thump your chest and rattle
Stand in front of your piano
But we know what's going on
Yes, we know what's going on
We're the children of the choir, hey
And we know what's going on
Mr. Richards, your conviction
Had us cheering in the kitchen
Now the jury's eating pigeon pie
So tell me how is prison
Have they taught you how to listen?
We've begun to bridge the schism
Pay attention, pay attention
Mr. Richards, your decision
Pay attention, pay attention
You can thump your chest and rattle
Stand in front of your piano
But we know what's going on
Yes, we know what's going on
We're the children of the choir, hey
From the compound fire, hey
And we know what's going on
Yes, we know what's going on
With the restraint of New Order covers, young marble giants
I sat quietly waiting
For someone else to make the first move
Someone has to make the first move...
That someone is you
That someone is you
That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
And with the fury lock of Sharon Stone Casino
Scarface, Al Pacino
'74 Torino
Waiting for someone else to make the first move
Someone has to make the first move
That someone is you
That someone is you
That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Pulled me up and out of me!
Pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand
Could it be that one small voice, doesn't count in the world?
Yellow like a Geisha doll, denial all the way
Could this by three be turned? Honor marches on
Yellow like a Geisha doll, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune
Are we grown way too far? Taking after rain
Yellow like a Geisha doll, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune
In my life, is that a steal? Children of today on parade
Yellow like a Geisha doll, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
What, what would you have had me say
Instead of what I said?
Where, where would I go?
How could I follow that
Except to do what I did which is to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Time
Reverse and rewind
Erase and revise
And try to start again
You, don't you turn this around
I have not touched the ground in
I don't know, how long?
You say to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Time, time
Time, it cannot abide
You, you can't turn away
You've asked me to stay
But something needs to change
Why can't you?
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back
Sleep delays my life (get up, get up)
Where does time go? (get up, get up, get up)
I don't know
Sleep, sleep, sleepy head (get up, get up, get up)
Wake it up...up (get up, get up)
You've got all your life (way up ahead) (get up, get up, get up)
Dreams they complicate my life (Dreams they complement my life)
I've seen you laying pined (get up, get up)
I've seen you laying pined (get up, get up)
Life is rough...rough (get up, get up, get up)
I've seen you laying down (get up)
With the loving kind (get up, get up)
I know life is hard...hard (where goes your time?)
Where to turn? Where to turn?
Dreams they complicate my life (Dreams they complement my life)
Dreamtime...
Dreams they complicate my life (Dreams they complement my life)
You see there's this cat burglar who can't see in the dark.
He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar.
Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife.
Says, "I don't know what I've done, but it doesn't feel right!"
Some things don't hold up over the course of a lifetime,
When's the first time you heard that one, 1954?
Get to the punch line. fall to the floor.
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup for
The worst joke ever, I never
I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Don't bore me
Now I am floating,
I feel released.
The moorings have been dropped,
The weights unleashed.
Everything is crystalline, simple and free.
The crime of good men who can't wrestle with change,
Or are too afraid to face this life's misjudged unknowns
You're not hurting anybody else's chances,
But you're disfiguring your own.
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup for
The worst joke ever, I never
I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Don't bore me, I NEVER
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup
Grounded 5 a.m.
The nightlite is comforting.
But gravity is holding you.
Once settled into sleep
You have watched on repeat,
The story of your life
Across the ceiling;
And in review,
You've said the air was singing
It's calling you you don't believe
These things you've never seen.
"Good morning, how are you?
The weather's fine, the sky is blue-
It's perfect for our seminar..."
"Now close your eyes,
And start to breathe.
Allow the noise to recede...
...Allow yourself to drift and fly away.
But you just stay.
You've said the air was singing
It's calling you you don't believe
These things you've never seen, never dreamed.
Did you hear these voices calling
Locked into a conference room,
"We're only what our minds assume..."
And rationale is leaving you.
This conceit these systems of belief,
Your counselor agrees,
"You've always mark these boundaries now you're free..."
And with relief.
You've said the air was singing
It's calling you you don't believe
These things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamed.
You said the air was singing
It's calling you you don't believe
These things you've never seen.
Never
Once you had a dream
Of oceans, and sunken cities
Mercury is rising still
Turn the fan on high
I won't step on my own shadow
No-one wants to cry
Someone put a pox on me
I spit in their eyes
Summer turns to high
Lift my bed sheet keep in sandles
Circle search and there are candles
Summer's here but night is raising hopes and dragonflies
If those hopes are overshadowed by cotton-candy, caramel-wafer
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer high
After wine and nectarines the fireflies in turn
Move like syrup through the evening with the sweet reign
I won't fight for can't happen
I'm preoccupied
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
I can't say that I love Jesus
that would be a hollow claim.
He did make some observations
and I'm quoting them today.
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
what a beautiful refrain.
The studio audience disagrees.
Have his lambs all gone astray?
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
"You are lost and disillusioned!"
what an awful thing to say.
I know this show doesn't flatter.
It means nothing to me.
I thought I might help them understand
but what an ugly thing to see.
"I am not an animal"
subtitled under the screen.
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break.
I sat silent 5 commercials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade.
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
i dreamed what what you were offering
imagine lying next to me
you should, and your reputation talks
i will write our story in my mind
write about our dreams and triumphs
this might be my "innocence lost"
i can taste the ocean on your skin
that is where it all began
i dreamed that we were elephants
out of sight, clouds of dust
and woke up thinking we were free
oh oh oh
i can taste the ocean on your skin
that is where it all began
we all go back to where we belong
we all go back to where we belong
this really what you want
this really what you want
i can taste the ocean on your skin
that is where it all began
we all go back to where we belong
we all go back to where we belong
this really what you want
When you greet a stranger
Look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes
Put your trouble behind
When you greet a stranger
Look at her hands
Keep your money in your hands
Put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away
At the end of the day
I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave
And see you from a long way away
When you greet a stranger
Look at her shoes
Keep you memories in your shoes
Put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away
At the end of the day
When there are no friends
When there are no lovers
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to change?
A familiar face a foreign place
I forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave
And see you from a long way away
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head

You see there's this feeling that I've heard this one before
Looks like I pulled a fast one
Looks like I went to town
Looks like the world revolves around me
Looks like it's falling down.
I thought I'd kicked the traces
I thought the wheels would spin
I thought I'd jumped the fence and bolted
Looks like I'm back again
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I had to grab a suitcase
I had to change my clothes
I had to run the shower hot
until the water froze
I brushed against confusion
I wanted time to grow
I want the sticks and stones not to throw me
get back to what I know
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I'm searching for a greatness
I smear it on my face
I want to bathe in grape must
swim the length of the milky way
I want it to be brilliant
I want it to be sweet
I want to kiss the astronauts
when they salute to me me me me
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
He’s not to be reached, he’s to be reached.
He’s not to be reached, he’s to be reached.
Called the fool and the company,
On his own where he’d rather be.
Where he ought to be, he sees what you can’t see,
can’t you see that?
Maybe he’s caught in the legend,
Maybe he’s caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood.
Down the way the road’s divided,
Paint me the places you have seen.
Those who know what I don’t know
Refer to the yellow, red and green
Maybe he’s caught in the legend,
Maybe he’s caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood.
He’s not to be reached, he’s to be reached. (4 times)
The map that you painted didn’t seem real.
He just sings whatever he’s seen
Point to the legend, point to the east,
Point to the yellow, red and green
Maybe he’s caught in the legend,
Maybe he’s caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood, been misunderstood.
(maps and legends)
(maps and legends) is he to be reached?
he’s not to be reached.
(maps and legends) is he to be reached?
he’s not to be reached.
(maps and legends) is he to be reached?
he’s not to be reached anymore.
The battle's been lost, the war is not won
An addled republic, a bitter refund
The business first flat earthers licking their wounds
The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins
Providence blinked, facing the sun
Where are we left to carry on
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
As we've written our stories to entertain
These notions of glory and bull market gain
The teleprompt flutters, the power surge brings
An easy speed message falls into routine
Providence blinked, facing the sun
Where are we left to carry on
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
A voice whispers "Son,
The blessed vision comes."
What have I done
What have I done
So hold tight your babies and your guns
Forgive us our trespasses, father and son
Providence blinked, facing the sun
Where are we left to carry on
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions, no collision, no intrusion
My imagination runs away
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
Hey now, take the U-Bahn, five stops, change the station
Hey now, don't forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand-million people, that's astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
I don't mind repeating, I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something, are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?
I know, I know, I know that this is changing
We walk the streets to feel the ground I'm chasing: ÃœBerlin
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day
And then the day and then the day becomes the night
This here is the place I will be staying.
There isn't a number. You can call the pay phone.
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time.
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more.
If I don't pick up, pick up... The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up,
But this machine can only swallow money.
You can't lay a patch by computer design.
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs.
Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding.
That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me.
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial.
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss;
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream.
The sidewinder sleeps on his back.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.

Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like hu, hu, hu, hu, honey, uh!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
If the end comes faster than we had expected
And predictions lead us to the final fall
If the flowers crack the grave (grain?) and leave the patterns of the pavement
I can hear you shouting over it all
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like honey, uh!
Mine smell like hu, hu, hu, hu, honey, uh!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Climb a mountain, climb it steeper, steeper!
Dig a hole, dig it deeper, deeper!
Track a trail of honey through it all

Keep your eyes glued to the floor
No one's going to say goodnight

Readying to bury your father and your mother,
what did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother,
distanced from one, blind to the other?
Listen here my sister and my brother
what would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother,
distanced from one, deaf to the other.
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

I am tired of second guessing
What will be your look this season?
Be in my club, write a book this season

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again
Firehouse. Firehouse.
Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum
Firehouse. Firehouse.
Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach.
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151.
Firehouse. Firehouse.
Hello, I saw you, I know you, I knew you
I think I can remember your name...name
Hello I'm sorry, I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather? (Hi...hi, hi)
Should we talk about the government? (Hi...hi, hi, hi)
Hello, how are you? I know you, I knew you
I think I can remember your name...name
Hello, I'm sorry I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather? (Hi...hi, hi)
Should we talk about the government? (Hi...hi, hi, hi)
Hello my friend, are you visible today?
You know I never knew that it could be so strange...strange
Hello, I'm sorry, I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather? (Hi...hi, hi)
you wake up in the morning
and fall out of your bed
mean cats eat parakeets
and this one's nearly dead.
you dearly wish the wind would shift
and greasy windows slide
open for the parakeet
who's colored bitter lime.
open the window
and lift into your dreams
lately baby
you can barely breathe.
a broken wrist
an accident
you know that something's wrong
you fold the leavings of your past
no one knows you've gone.
the sunspot flares of the early
nineties light up your wings.
and scan the shortwave radio
it's tracking outer rings.
the tectonic dispatcher shifts
to smooth the ocean floor
and flattens out to warmer winds
of Brisbane's sunny shore.
where buddhas tend to mending wrists
a tea made from the leaves
of eucalyptus fragrances
and coriander seeds.
you wake up in the morning
to warm Pacific breeze
where mean cats chew on licorice
and cannot climb the trees.
open your window
and lift into a dream
baby, baby
baby starts to breathe
The One I Love
R.E.M.
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire...
Fire...
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire...
Fire...
Solo
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop just occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire...
Fire...
Fire...
Fire...
[Instrumental]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength. Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games a government for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped. Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down. Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh oh, this means no fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
The other night I dreamt ot knives, continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...
(It's time I had some time alone)
I feel great. I lied to save your feelings.
truth convened, my head smashed through the ceiling.
I lost an arm, no one harmed, you diplomatically alarmed.
I sulked away to lick my thin skin.
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Shake the rug into the fireplace
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Sweep the floor into the fireplace
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the chairs into the fireplace
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
I'll take the position
assume the missionare part
you work by committee,
you had me pegged from the start.
I'll be pounce pony,
phony maroney,
pony before the cart.
I'll be pounce pony.
this ceremony
only fills my heart.
who cast the final stone?
who threw the crushing blow?
someone has to take the fall
why not me?
a punch toy volunteer
a weakling on its knee.
is all you want to hear
and all you want to see.
romantically, you'd martyr me
and miss this story's point
it is my strength, my destiny
this is the role that I have chosen.
who cast the final stone?
who threw the crushing blow?
someone has to take the fall
why not me?
gentlemen mark your opponents
fire inte your own ranks.
pick the weakest as strategec
move. square off. to
meet your enemy.
for each and every gathering
a scapegoat falls to climb.
as I step forward, silently.
deliberately mine
who cast the final stone?
who threw the crushing blow?
someone has to take the fall
why not me? why not me.
had consequence chose differently
had fate its ugly head
my actions make me beautiful
and dignify the flesh
[Instrumental]
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
It's not as though I really need you
If you were here I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites
'You're so bitter,' your complaint
I can't get you anything.
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't you at all anymore.
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me
I can't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
I move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
I move across the room
With a heart full of gloom
I'm stronger than you think.
Oh my peer,
Your veneer is wearing thin and cracking.
The surface and forms underneath,
Underneath is lacking.
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it.
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for.
I don't know what I want anymore.
You move across, innocence lost,
All static and desire,
You're blue in the face from navel gaze,
You set yourself on fire.
You strip down and lay yourself out,
I know you can't fake it,
But are you tire and naked?
Are you tire and naked?
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for.
I don't know what I want anymore.
Tonight's alive
The beachball's set to fly
Those well tequilaed guys
Who smile at strangers.
A tes souhaits
A tes amours chéri
You give a little squeeze
And dance the rua-rua-rua-rumba
This life is sweet
You're dancing in the street
Who knows who you might meet
Who to find.
The little week ends here
Thursday has an ear
The coffee clash career
She talks to strangers
And kissing by the sea.
A tequila tome
'ti punch, mojito, sling
And dance the rua-rua-rua-rumba
This life is sweet
You're dancing in the street
Who knows who you might meet
Who to find.
We flash the seasoned sky
With starfished butterflies
To cast a spell
And welcome locals
Weekenders and strangers.
You'll do fine.
You'll do fine.
You'll do fine.

beyond security.

creature of habit
labored breathing and sallow skin

the people mover
Postcard stowaway within
Pristine indigo without
Banded ottoman as such
Sofa seated one too much
All along the range all along the range
Ages of you
Train pulls over hanging bridge
Conductor looks up, thinks
out and down, hands stuck to the left
to the right, you should fall,
[Inaudible]
Got to punch, right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Got to punch, right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation
What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?
[Inaudible]
Got to punch, right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down his back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear

Hey this is David
I've got a hat the size of Oklahoma
Put on my boots
And going down to Walter's
Get me some barbecue
Bring some home to the missus
He'll give you a bag to put it in
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock, but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head
It's so much more attractive
Inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
She was laughing like a Horae
Put that knee into our landslide
Take the steps to dash a roving eye
It's so much more attractive
Inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head
It's so much more attractive
Inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
