- Big Black Nothing
Big black nothing
Fooling everyone
Big black nothing
Put a halo around what you've done
Because a big black nothing
Is coming up
Would you be my
- Breezy
Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this rented mansion
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
- Cape Canaveral
Cape Canaveral lyrics
Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural
Apart, I just came apart
Please, please, please sister Socrates
- Danny Callahan
Green world, love the chloroform.
Front porch in the thunderstorm.
Controlled chaos, confused energy.
So stop reading the weather charts.
Stop counting the playing cards.
There's no system, there's no guarantees.
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed.
- Get-Well-Cards
All the peacock people left their plumes in a pile
They look good to a fault
And the Gulf water's warm like a bathtub
Full of lavender and epsom salt
See a bleach blond boy put his long board down
Help his girl get her sunscreen on
I thought about you in your little house
Think you're lonely but I could be wrong and
- Gossamer Thin
Rings 'round his eyes
Tracks down his arm
His fans are confused and his friends are alarmed
His wife doesn't talk
Hates when he's gone
Counts every skirt in his new entourage
And they're all gossamer thin
- Hundreds Of Ways
What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine
What a dream to just be walking on the ground
What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love
It came before and I'm still looking for that now
It took centuries to build these twisted cities
It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
And all the tour guide could say was
- Lenders in the Temple
A short delay,
The parrot blues
Little voices mimic you
It's not so hard to make that sound
So watch your back,
The Ides of March
Cut your hair like Joan of Arc
- Milk Thistle
Milk thistle, milk thistle,
Let me down slow,
Help me go slow,
I've been carrying on,
I'm not scared of nothin',
I'll go pound for pound,
I keep death on my mind,
Like a heavy crown.
- Moab
I used up your compassion
So I've come to make a trade
You can hate me but just love me in return
If I know where to find you
I'll stay out of your way
I won't come beg to borrow
All the happiness you've earned
- NYC-Gone, Gone
Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City
Where you gonna go with a heart that gone?
Down, down to Mexico City
Got myself a lady, she know how to treat me
Down, down to Mexico City
- Things You Know
Stealing quiet on my bed
And fighting wars inside my head
While counting footprints on the ceiling
Blank and colorless tapestries
The voices yell inside of me
And I knew then the paint was peeling
You say you know this misery
- Time Forgot
Polished my shoes I bought a brand new hat
Moved to a town that time forgot
Where I don't have to shave or be approachable
No I can do just what I want
I want to walk in that howling wind
'til it scatters all my thoughts
Sit alone on that riverbank 'til I
- You Are Your Mothers Child
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
But your mama had a big old smile
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
Packed a few things and drove you back again
Stayed up all night worrying, wondering
