The four fundamental forces
Came to play in the American schism
And we looked gravely on
But gravity doesn't stand a chance against

Magnetism (gravity, strong, and weak)
Electromagnetism (gravity, strong, and weak)

I'm trying to tell you something 'bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all, yeah

Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear

Dark clouds are comin' in, like an army.
Soon the sky will open up and disarm me.
You will go, just like you've gone before;
One sad soldier off to war
With enemies that only you can see.

Dishes stacked, the table cleared,
It's always like the scene of the last supper here.

I work at the mall food court
And when I get home
I fix something to eat, settle into my seat
And turn on the country radio
I know every word
To every song
And they make these lonely nights a little less lone
'Cause then I'm under the stars

Oh the boys of Dublin's Donaghmede
Come to hear their boxer sing
To tell the stories of their streets
To quell their suffering
They say let me go another round
And never take it laying down
'Cause in my heart I know
I'm strong enough to grow

There's people everywhere, playing banjo
And the mandolin and guitar
What am I gonna do when she won’t sing with me?
She's got a lollipop, it's wild cherry
Her favorite flavor

She’s learning ukulele just like all the kids
She wants to play it her own way, just like I did

I know you wanna hurry through your homework
Youth is a hungry beast
I know you wanna rise in the west
And set in the east

You’re a planet and you’re being born
Your heart explodes in love and then its torn
One day you’ll try to make it back

Won't have you see me as your sad sack,
Lost my something and I can't get it back,
Or a kill on your trophy rack,
I checked my schedule now my train is rolling down the track,
Past the sadness of the salt flats,
To the prospect of the land fat,
Or just a lazy orange house cat
On the sofa where I'll be put up.

The fisherman comes up
Puts his two poles in the sand
He stares out at the sea
Just exactly like me
But I've got a book in my hand
We will have caught on to something by the end of the day
But mostly we think about the one that got away.

The mississippi's mighty
But it starts in minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess thats how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown

She won't recover from her losses,
She's not chosen this path, but she watches who it crosses
Maybe move to the right, maybe move to the left
So we can all see her pain she wears like a banner on her chest
And we all say it's sad, and we think it's a shame
And she's called to our attention, but we do not call her name,
The girl with the weight of the world in her hands.

Clearing webs from the hovel
A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
I've been digging too deep, I always do

I see my face on the surface
I look a lot like narcissus
A dark abyss of an emptiness
Standing on the edge of a drowning blue

How many nights for Hanukah?
Happy joyous Hanukah
Nights and days, days and nights,
Happy joyous Hanukah

[Chorus]
Eight are the nights of Hanukah
Happy joyous Hanukah

Hey Jesus it's me
I don't usually talk to you
But my baby's gonna leave me and there's something you must do
And I am not your faithful servant
I hang around sometimes with a bunch of your black sheep
But if you make my baby stay I'll make it up to you
And that's a promise I will keep

Let's not drag this out, everything's in motion,
Though I've only ever loved you kind and with devotion.
I remember when I met you, and even from the start,
I thought one day you'd probably just come home and break my heart.

It's funny what you know,
and still go on pretending
With no good evidence you'll ever see that happy ending...

Oh Annie, I am sorry for the grief
Young sister to my lover, I know you both would rather be
On that rough road through the woods of Michigan
Young and free and building something on the land
Where ya howl at the moon

It’ll cost you, but not enough to bring you down
That’s been my lesson, ever since you drove me ‘round

When we tried to rework all of this
Each to her rendition
Painted ourselves in a corner
Lost for ideas blindly fishing
For a compliment or kindness
Just to bring us into view
But you could not interpret me and I could not interpret you

My grand-ma and your grand-ma were
Sittin' by the fire.
My grand-ma told your grand-ma:
I'm gonna set your flag on fire.

Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now !
I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne

You said the world was magic,
I was wide-eyed and laughing,
we were dancing up to the bright side.
"Forget about your ego, forget about your pride,
and you will never have to compromise."
But you were only joking.
You were only joking, brother...

I sit two stories above the street,
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep,
There's life down below me though;
The kids are walking home from school.

Some long ago when we were taught
That for whatever kind of puzzle you got
You just stick the right formula in;

All the way all the way all the way to Nashville
We talked about God and the Devil
Everyone I know can sense Armageddon
We want to believe in something we’re unsettled

My grandfather had a telescope and a magnifying glass
Through the scope on starry nights we saw forever
And in the morning Florida sun I burned the grass with my magnifying glass

Hey I thought you'd know
That a kiss under the mistletoe
Would walk out through the snow
Angel can't you see the stars
That lights through the trees
Are beckoning us to go
Everyone has gone to sleep (please baby please)
Peace be with me

All of the daddies were weathered
All of the mommas were torn
Still the whole village came in their finest to see
What could possibly be born
Out of a house divided, in a world so brutal and maimed
But then we saw the kids and found ourselves saying

We’re gonna make it up to you

Each time you'd pull down the driveway
I wasn't sure when I would see you again.
Yours was a twisted blind-sided highway
No matter which road you took then.

Oh you set up your place in my thoughts,
Moved in and made my thinking crowded.
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs,

As I drive from your pearly gates
I realize that i just can't stay
All those mountains, they kept you locked inside
And hid the truth from my slighted eyes.

I came to you with a half-open heart,
dreams upon my back, illusions of a brand-new start.

I woke up this morning, grey dawn,
with a prayer on my breath.
I lost something precious,
God'll save me from losing myself.
I think I know what's wrong,
I think I know what's wrong.
Now, I met the Queen and I understand
why she closed the door

Dog at the window still
looks all day never gets her fill
Cause a glance means a chance
to break the birds out congregating.
I have seen a look like that,
you licked your chops from where you sat.
Make your kill for a thrill,
and yet I don't mind waiting...

Scooter boys and Argentinians
Europe shed the blood of the Indians
Here I sit in the land of plenty
Crying about my own virginity

Hey blue blood you're nothing new
See I come from privilege too
A chapter in the book on the Americas

I can go one day without calling
Two days without bawling
Three days without missing
But a lifetime of no kissing you
Is something that I just can’t do.
I wish I could be there to share the moon

I got more back for the breaking

Shit kickin’, suburban, I grew up bareback ridin’
Out on the weekends at ol’ Partain’s
“If you can catch ‘em, you can ride ‘em.”
That’s what the old man said to us kids
I took that and ran for the rest of my days

I’m a little bit left of the “salt of the Earth”
Not too proud, I’ll prove my worth

We’ve had some good times
In photographs you see us laughing and carrying on
White shirts on the clothesline
Outside flapping like misshapen flags

And where are the claims that we staked when we sank in the mire
Motion suspended like stillness of birds on a wire
Look, in good order from tallest to smallest

I don't know if it was real or in a dream,
lately waking up I'm not sure where I've been.
There was a table set for six, and five were there,
I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair.
And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen,
Laughter like a language I once spoke with ease,
But I'm made mute by the virtue of decision,
And I choose most of your life goes on without me.

For Christmas, my love, gave me a stocking
Sewn of sackcloth, hung on a nail
The simplest gift, warmed by the fire
Vessel of kindness, peace fulfilled

Will my love, fill it with silver
Will my love, fill it with gold
Will my love just fill it with wonderful

Baby, I've got the best intentions
I just can't do it
Baby, I've got the truest day
But I just can't win
Baby, I've got a good vibration
But I just can't play it
Baby, I spent my only fortune
On the wages of sin

Look a gift horse in the mouth go get a job
Last best deal I ever got was a quarter for a beer on the quad
Nevilles singing on a makeshift stage you sittin' on a towel in the shade
Came from a foreign town and you smoked a joint with Jackson Browne

What if my pain won’t deliver me
What if my stasis crushes me with boredom
If I read into everything you say to me

I'm coming home with a stone, strapped onto my back.
I'm coming home with a burning hope turning all my blues to black.
I'm looking for a sacred hand to carve into my stone.
A ghost of comfort, angels breath - to keep this life inside my chest.
This world falls on me with hopes of immortality.
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me.
I woke up in the middle of a dream, scared the world was too much for me.
Sejarez said, "don't let go, just plant the seeds and watch them grow."

Gather round girls and boys
It's time to make your joyful noise
Some feel it in the feast after the fast
Where the oil lamp's everlasting
Or the solstice in the wild
Or the birth of a baby child

It's your holiday song
