- Arm and Hammer
Amanda said you have to go
Amanda said it's time to go
She said I'm tired of being homeless, restless.
I confess
I am wrong
Listen, we are
Listen, we are
- CYHSY, 2005
You're awake, I know
And I can tell that when I'm gone
You'll peek around every corner
You can't say I didn't warn you
Little Rock was fine
Memphis next, then Texas bound
But isn't that the way?
When all I really wanted to do was stay home
- Dee, Forgiven
Dee
Oh, Dee
For a moment I couldn't see thee
Disappear
Through the glass
But never fear
It'll pass
- Details of the War
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
- Fireproof
The elastic of my snap stick seems to snap down on the fuse
I take a drastic little a matchstick and set fire to the tears
I will go around that stage in just my birthday suit
Now that I'm fireproof
It's a candle that you bring to the table
But it's not enough for me
Small fever, my neighbor
My savior you will be
- Five Easy Pieces
Too big
Too strong
Too weak
Too long
Too big
Too strong
Too weak
Too long
- Gimmie Some Salt
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
- Goodbye to Mother and the Cove
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
- Hysterical
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
- Idiot
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
- In This Home On Ice
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
- Innocent Weight
Foot on the brake
Yes, let's just slow down
You are not the same when you are not around
And though a pure church has taken over this plainly heretical town
I don't know if I can dig it
Leave all your armor over there by the door
Don't you tell me about karma,
- Ketamine And Ecstasy
Lyrics by Alec Ounsworth
Ketamine and ecstasy
Your words are hanging in the trees
While the university just rises
Your last pursuit now deaf and mute
It seems that I will have to do
Me trying to hold onto you and you trying not to put up a fight
- Love Song No. 7
Now that you're here
It seems every one of us seems to take the wrong way home
Now that you're safe with me
Trying to get a handle on the name of love
Safe and sound
So safe for now
You're safe and sound
So safe for now
- Mirror Song
Where to begin?
Let's see, describe to me your injury in a drunken late night text
You've been hurt before and now want more
You can count on me to join you under the wreckage
For it seems we're still the passengers, still Iggy's loyal customers
In the city's still ripped backsides
We will do what we need to keep this fantasy alive
- New Fragility
I was the last to know
As the paint, it dried on the pavement
And now I'm waiting for
Anyone at all
You had the wrong idea
Although the birds, they once called your name
And if they called mine too
I didn't hear them
- Satan Said Dance
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
- The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth
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
- The Witness' Dull Surprise
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
- Underwater
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
- Upon this tidal wave of young blood
How that everybody's here
Could we please have your attention?
There is nothing left to fear
No now that bigfoot is captured
But are the children really right
Alright alright
There is danger in the night
- Yankee Go Home
Try Jamaica
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
Falling out of line
- Yesterday, Never
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
