- Drilling
this is us on a western Atlantic coast
with no place to be
just taking in the sea
tonight with a constant buzz
we're staring at the ocean crashing on
all the rocks below
in this foreign home
- Excuses
Coins I could drop
Shake in my pocket
They shake like you do
Steps that you take
Bend and they break
They break like I do
- Fooled by the night
I am not going to leave you
Not for good
You are the real one
And I am your fool
Fooled by the night
And drinking the poison
Enough to get right
- Fulfill the Dream
i saw her with another man walkin downtown
she's not mine and she'll never be by my side walkin downtown
i've only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
smoking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath
- Hold Me Down
And I'm in the wind
I am going to let it take me where it may
Maybe it lifts
Me to New Orleans or the dark streets of L.A.
I'm in the wind
I am in the wind
And if I fall to where you're standing
Will you tend to me?
- I'm Totally Not Down Wth Rob's Alien
At noon the wind comes through
Across the bay on a clear day
And I can watch the boats come in and set their anchors
And my folks are away at the store
So I don't have to listen
To anyone
Say anything
- Into the Mirror
They got a mirror full of caine in the bathroom
Because nobody here knows when to stop
For now we're just making out with the door unlocked
Back in the atrium the music's slowing down
The party's thinning out for the late crowd
Fixes her lipstick, fixes his belt
The coast is clear as he walks out
- Knights
I owe you, don't I?
A little light today
But tomorrow, oh tomorrow
I owe you, don't I?
I know it ain't the money girl
There never was money
This usury so typical
- My Time
Turn off the lights
and touch me in the dark
fade into the feeling
whisper in my ear
what you want
what you need
tell me my name
tell me my name
- Pachuca Sunrise
Midnight on a beach on the Mediterranean
And I miss you
Even here, taking it all in
The sand, silvered, carries the moon
On its shoulders
Is it possible to put this night to tune
And move it to you?
- Patiently Waiting
she woke up on a train
a train moving through a mountain range
and she's still silently watching trees
falling east, she's thinking
home is just a hang up
when nothing's easy
last night, hotel bar
- Secret Country
Soft rain falls around us
And the moon says it's getting late
On and on steps in time
Come to the edge of the lake
We forget where we are
And you're so loud
And the water around our feet
Can't find no way down
- Summer Angel
When we made it to the garden it was well past nine
Our hands came to agreement as we walked in time
A jealous rose stole a thread from the skirted thigh
I clipped it quick with a flick of the switchblade knife,
of the switchblade knife, of the switchblade knife
That rose was so fine in her hair
The shadow in the moonlight
- The Fix
A swimming pool with no bodies,
Is a problem that we can fix,
Dropped his clothes on the chase lounge and asked,
'Are you gonna come in?'
And in the night, the only light was the glow of the surface,
As they slid in, the rest of them, continued their talking,
And drinking,
They'll never notice us,
- The Lucky Ones
In basements we fall in love
Over cards and a whiskey drunk
Talking circles around ourselves
Til were too far in
Soon it starts to sneaking around
City bars, not a soul to be found
But you can't keep a secret
That everybody knows
- The Pig War
It's been so long that it seems
Like I've never been to the San Juans
Can we go soon?
Girl slow down
Girl slow down with me
If we leave now we can catch the last boat out
And that's the best one on this clear night
- This Ain't A Surfin' Movie
When i turned the page
the coner bent into a perfect dog ear
as if the words knew i'd need them again
but at that time i couldn't see it
i would read that page every day
for the next year
- When We Escape
Someone's turning the lights down low
And the music up, do you feel the beat?
I see you too by the way you move
I need to feel your body movin' on me
You must be an illusion
Can I see through you?
- Your Private Sky
Laying in the long grass
beside your home
watch the day pass
Your private sky
a gull flies by
and cuts up the air into pulses
Synchronized heartbeat's gone
