The Breeze
03:59
|
|||
Are you moving much too fast?
And the good times that just don't last
If you're always on the go
Make an angel in the snow
And freeze
Do you feel like you're stuck in time?
Forever waiting on that line
If nothing ever moves
Put that needle to the groove
And sing
Is it a dream keeping you awake?
Is it the stillness that makes you shake?
If you need to know for sure
What's on the ocean's floor
You'll sink
Do you like things the way they seem?
Or are you looking behind the scenes?
Well, if you've gotta know
What it takes to make it sow
Just believe
Are there dark parts to your mind?
Hidden secrets left behind?
Where no one ever goes
But everybody knows
It's all right
Do you get dizzy on the ground?
It must be something going 'round
What blows us here today
It'll blow us all away,
The breeze
Ahh, will blow us all away
The breeze
Ahh, will blow us all away
The breeze

Hang On
04:01
|
|||
Hang on, Hang on
Yes it's the little things
Yes it's the little things
That do us harm
I'm not a stranger
Ain't a mystery
When we both get it wrong
Stay here for a little while more
Cause it's the funny things
Yes it's the funny things
I need a friend
Not an angel
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you though was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell it like it is
Well, I don't need no doctor to tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my heart
Hang on, I'll try to look you in the eye
You know you should've apologized
Or should I've apologized
Is there an answer
What do you do when the drowning stops
And what you thought was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell like it is
Oh, I don't need no doctor
To tear me all apart
I just need you, to mend my Heart
I need you
To mend my heart

The Old Days
03:41
|
|||
Let go of the old ones
We've got some new ones
Hold on to the new stuff
And let go and get real tough
Down, down, down
Moon gonna fall down
Thump, thump, thump
House gonna fall down
Chop, chop, chop
Tree gonna fall down
Down, down, down
Down to the bottom
Trigger, when you pull it
Go home with a bullet
No birds in the birdcage
Flew off in his old age
Down, down, down
Moon gonna fall down
Thump, thump, thump
House gonna fall down
Chop, chop, chop
Tree gonna fall down
Back, back, back
Back to the old days
So full in the morning
Put on your dog skin
Wrap up the money
Save it for a sunny
Day, day, day
Moon gonna fall down
Thump, thump, thump
House gonna fall down
Chop, chop, chop
Tree gonna fall down
Back, back, back
Back to the old days

Army of Ancients
04:05
|
|||
An army of ancients can rise from the ground
And tear every nation apart
And I'd still be sitting there counting my cards
Wondering when will it stop
The oceans and forests could collide into one
And my [unknown] in a spark
And I'd still be sitting there twiddling my thumbs
Wondering when will it stop
How did the fox get the rave and the crows?
I got it, I got it
Oh yeah
Why at the creek did the dog lose the bone?
I got it, I got it
Oh yeah
The man can come back on his fiery thrown
To measure the failures in heart
And I'd still be whistling dixie alone
Wondering when will it stop
I don't want to wake up, I don't want to move
I'd ask and assume it'd stick to the boot
I'm sorry
Well, I take what I want in the dawn's early light
How did the fox get the rave and the crow?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Why did the hen pick grains in the snow
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Why did the brother bury his gold?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Where took the ref when the kids came along?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Why did the mouse help the bees with the floor?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Well, I don't want a thing to do with you kind
And I ain't got no time to kill on your dime
Strung up, hanging 'round
Looking like you're upside down
Well, I ain't wanting to shed no blood, that's your crime
And I ain't wanting to sling no mud, I clean it up
You ain't what I'd call a friend
I wouldn't even if I could pretend
Man, you ain't like anybody else
As night becomes the sun to rise
As dirt becomes the butterflies
As sure as though it always seems to stay the same
And I'll be waiting anxiously
And I'll be falling fast asleep
And I'll be dreaming of the day the dream died
Uh huh
No sticks, no stones could break my bones like you can
If I knew hate, I'd call it love for you, man
High up on the hill, cheaper than a dollar bill
Man, you ain't like anybody else
Should we pretend that it's the end?
Are you my curse or are you my friend?
And if we got hit to the end of the road
Will you be there to carry my load?
I'm getting it back with that terrible feeling
My vision is cracked, but it looks like it's healing
I'm getting it back like it's four in the morning
When the sun only shines as if it's giving a warning
I'm getting it back with the rest of the leap year
I'm keeping the rabbit, the bat, and the reindeer
I'm getting it out, whatever I've gotta keep in
I'm telling the truth, said it don't win with pretend
Should we pretend?
Should we pretend?
Should we pretend?

The Ark
03:37
|

God, he called for rain
So I built a ark, but no rain came
I was ashamed
Man, he called for war
So I built a gun and I joined the corps
But I was unsure
Love, she asked for more
But what I gave only made her poor
I wasn't sure
The dove, she promised land
As she laid the branch right into my hand
There was no land
Oh, what does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
Yes, I know because I can and I will
Oh, what does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
Oh, what does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
Yes, I know because I can and I will

Oh, oh, my love
Don't you leave me
Cause I don't want to learn how to die
Oh, oh, my love
And oh my my
You know I can't get over
Cause I can't even seem to get by
Oh, oh, my my
And oh my land
(Oh my land)
No, It ain't beneath me
(Ain't beneath me)
Cause I got my head in the sand
Oh, oh, my land
And oh my eyes
(Oh my eyes)
No, they deceive me
Seeing but I can't understand
Oh, oh, my eyes
Its like a choo-choo train rolling away
Another choo-choo rain washing away
When were apart
Its like a choo-choo train rolling away
Another choo-choo rain washing away
When were apart
Cause you're apart of my heart
And I'm apart from my heart, my heart
Oh, oh, my God
(Oh my God)
He listens to me
(Listens to me)
And I ain't even talking out loud
Oh, oh, my God
And he says, My son
(Says, My son)
Now, listen to me
(Listen to me)
And listen while the listening's good
You're not my son
But you know my love
(Oh my love)
No it ain't easy
(It ain't easy)
But it ain't the type to give up and die
That's not my love
Its like a choo-choo train rolling away
Another choo-choo rain wash me away
When were apart
It's like a choo-choo train lap me away
Another choo-choo train wash me away
When were apart
Cause you're apart of my heart
And I'm apart from my heart
From
My heart

100 Years
04:06
|
|||
When I look back on what I done
About 100 years from now
Gonna cry myself to sleep at night
Somebody shows me how
Uh huh
When the sun shines down whats left of me
About 100 years from now
Gonna cut my water with a rebel yell
And claw my way back to town
100 years
100 years
They'll break me
But I'll break them too
Oh and this years for the brakemen
And this one is for you
When sky cracks open and the thunder comes
About 100 years from now
Gonna bury this old yoke and chain
In the cold wet ground
And when I get off at Tennebrook, [unknown] farm
About 100 years from now
I'm gonna marry you out of common sense
And get out from behind this plow
100 years
100 years
They'll break me
But I'll break them too
Oh and this years for the brakemen
And this one is for you
100 years
100 years
They'll break me
But I'll break them too
Oh and this years for the brakemen
And this one is for you

Uncovering the Old
03:21
|
|||
Turn it down
Start it over
Alone is such an ugly game
Pay it back
Pay it forward
Nothing means nothing to me
So they went down to the station
They were looking for a ride
They were running out of ink
They were running out of time
Yeah
And with the color of a whistle
With the sounding of the smoke
I repeat it in a picture
I repeat it in a joke
Yeah
Yeah
Loud clothes
Quiet earrings
Black nights
White shadows
A bone and a key
Old flames
depressed widows
Someone has been down to me
So they believed that their conductor
Is the leader of the pack
Killing time and too conductive and
They were never looking back
Yeah
And the table had to chase it
And the time hollered back
And the thanks that cut the cable
And they're running out of tracks
Yeah
Yeah
So they kissed the farmer's daughters
With their pockets full of gold
And they draw the shades of markets
On the corner of the window
And the kid under the kitchen
And unmarked grave
They're uncovering the old

The Beach
03:41
|
|||
There's a hole in the roof
And the rain's coming down
The roads are flooded
There's no way back to town
And the ship we came in on
Has just run aground
You know fate has a funny way
Of coming around
The memories we've buried
Have just taken seed
When springtime comes
They'll turn into weeds
And they'll creep through your window
To smother your dreams
You know fate has a funny way
Of coming around
Oh, they'll carve our names like scripture
To the soles of our feet
Each footprint that they take
It will tell of our beat
Till the night of the following rain
Till the low tide comes to swallow pain
This bottle of bourbon,
Now dry as a bone,
It drank us all up
Then it left us alone
Well we've since switched to skull pot
But we can't choke it down
You know fate has a funny way
Of coming around

My Friend
05:36
|
|||
My friend says that the end holds nothing more
He don't hide his shame
Says its all the same
Like a man without a name
Old days asleep in the shade by the Brandywine
See a dog get paid
See a boy behave
Every bone deserves a grave
But I heard the Good Lord's warning
Like he might not forget by the morning
With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
Ooh oooooh oooh
My Lord, I'm climbing aboard and I'm going home
No time to lose, no time to pack
Take a step and take it back
But I heard the Good Lord's warning
Like he might not forget by the morning
With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
Ooh ooooh oooh
Keep on with the living you'll soon enough be dead
You got the whole world spinning in your head
And you don't want to give it up (don't give it up, don't give it up)
Cause no one should be sorry
We're just another day
You can say you'll be back
But you won't ever go away (won't go away, won't go away)
Cause love that never leaves is never ever welcome back
And I'm running out of skin thick enough to hide in (won't go away, won't go away)
Now hand in hand we're back in time we're chasing the train
Looking back looking back to wave goodbye
We're headed for the same disaster (don't give it up, don't give it up)
