The Meteor

Nobody asked me
for my opinion, you swear
the height of the moon is more than they say
feeling different today
the constellations I know can fit on one hand
seen from Japan they’re all turned around, burning down
my vision’s biased, my fear of darkness reminds
the light in the sky is breaking the sound
burning down
burning down
I’ve got my patience, I’ve got my wits on display
a day like today, you’ve gotta be strong
burning long
I should have noticed, positions properly aligned
and if I was right, I’d never be found out
burning down

Leaning out the sun roof
Lightening loads
Riding up the treble on
God Only Knows
Where the cold, cold air meets the heat for the storm
On our best behavior
Tightening clothes
Measuring the hours our sanity goes
Where the cold, cold ground breaks along carriage roads
I believe in liars
You're into ghosts
Meet me in the middle
We're burning our toast where the
Water's hard and the eggs came out cold
On our best behavior
Stuck in reverse
You were just beginning to lift up the curse
Where the story's old and we've heard it before
Everyone around us
says that we’re gross
who can the sing the loudest to God Only Knows
when the rain strikes down on a heavenly road
rotten eggs from modern hens
we sure, did talk dumb back then
campfire smoke that stains your clothes for good
or for better still
waste our money
rest up Molly Pitcher, oh we sure
did talk dumb back then, again and again
Oh Molly Pitcher don't you see?
we need energy
make it best of three

AM Radio
03:16
|

at least, we were told
the west was wild
AM radio on the dial
I bet if we closed our eyes
so tight that the patterns look like light
You are counted on, count on me
lost between the low, frequencies
I bet if we closed our eyes
so tight that the patterns look like light
we'd ignite
how fast do you run
when you're scared
AM radio will be there
I bet if we close our eyes
so tight that the patterns look like light
We'd invite
a fall
a spring
a winter night
At least we were told, the west wild
AM radio on the dial
I bet if we closed our eyes
so tight that the patterns look light
I bet if we closed our eyes
so tight that the patterns look light
I bet if we told a lie so hard that the memories turn
black and white

Took an hour off my day at the top
holding breath can not prevent the stomach drop
fall below
what I know
Supernova
where my fuel
has to go
Supernova
I can the R away, I can look
Only one direction now is all it took
to awake
my mistake
Supernova
holiday
gone away
Supernova
At least I know, everyone is having a harder day today
why did my friend have to die
why do we
fix our focus on the lies
that we can't see
we can't know, how it grows, Supernova
Oh my Oh, how you've glowed, Supernova
At least I know, or I knew, where I left you
At least I know
At least I know
At least I know
Everyone is having a harder day today

Western Divide
01:01
|

I danced in place
mowed down by kings
bowed legs are fine
even extraordinary
Western Divide
toxic and primed
to break a glass
or a heart so weary
Water us down
take off your crown
drag me to hell
or a place less scary

Rule of Thumb

Rule of thumb
pushed you towards a currently ungrounded hum
running tap, running fast towards a narrowed minded path
built to crash out loud
I know how hard you try to stay the same
and given it a bad name
nobody here is keeping score
never a clue what it’s all for
oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
where we can find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can go and find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
You are a
broken bone
you’re set to grow back in an crooked angled home
broken trust
you’ve discussed all that you know you think you know
you think you’ve found a way
to be on top
look down so long so far so bad
the power you've had
never a clue what it is for
Oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
oh what a blow dealt to your pride
I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can go and find some piece of mind
I cannot find my piece of mind
you're running hot

Nowhere to Hide
05:02
|

Ear to the shell but the sound won't come out
whose opinion do I have to doubt
all my food's gone bad again
give me a home where the waves hit the clouds
show me where the bottles get their name
turned to pieces, turned to grain,
I've been too lost, for many a tide
no one to run from and nowhere to hide
Learn what you must then return the remains
from the small intestine to the brains
all my parts are good again
give me a home where the lakes hit the cloud
let our birthday wishes be out loud
what's the hurt in making sense
I've walked on logs with thorns in my side
no one to run from and nowhere to hide
Tell me a story the same every time
show me where the butchers got their name
choose to cut against the grain
Break at the seams to show what's inside
No one to run from and nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide

Lights Out
01:56
|

Heart and soul
sleeper hold to a toss from a ring
belief in everything
I hear you you see me a reliable strong employee
with hero’s agony
bought and sold (hot or cold)
work the crowd wearing nothing but pride
you’re always by my side
say it now (soft or loud)
what’s my name what’s my line to deliver a swing
believing everything
right town
wrong time
Lights out
I’m blind
I’ve been dropping the hammer, I’ve tried
Lights out
you’re mine

Bulldozer

Don’t I know your face from somewhere else
on the interstate, a cry for help
don’t know how to behave when you are around
out of body and light, wrong and you’re right sided raining down
out of body and light, wrong and you’re right sided raining down
out of body
they don’t know better than to pull you down
they don’t know better than to pull you down they pull you down
out of body and light, wrong or you’re right sided raining down
out of body and light, wrong or you’re right sided raining down
no demand no supply, quartered and dimed, packaged into doubt
no demand no supply, quartered and dimed, packaged into, crash us into
Bulldozer wake me when it’s over
Propeller be my fortune teller
out of body and light, wrong and you’re right sided raining down
out of body and light, wrong and you’re right sided raining down
would you draw me a hand
mouthful of sand, spit it on the ground
we are cutting the line
cutting for time, never counting down
they don’t know better than to pull you down
they don’t know better than to pull you down they pull you down
out of body and light, wrong or you’re right sided raining down
out of body and light, wrong or you’re right sided raining down
you drew me, shot an arrow through me
Bulldozer wake me when it’s over
out of time
don’t I know your face from somewhere new
Took a different shape and pushed me through
don’t know how to behave when you’re not around
don’t know how to behave when you’re not around
don’t know how to behave when you’re not around
you could draw me by hand, mouthful of sand spit it on the ground
out of body and light, wrong or you’re right sided raining down
no demand no supply, quartered and dimed, packaged into, crash us into
they don’t know better than to pull you down
they don’t know better than to pull you down they pull you down
out of body and light, wrong or you’re right sided raining down
no demand no supply, quartered and dimed, packaged into doubt
out of body
they pull you down
