It's Alright
04:23
|
|||
|
Walking on the sand, and
Walking on the land, and
Walking on the sand, and
You know it's all right
Walking in the air, now
Feeling very scared, now
Walking in the air, now
You know it's all right
Walking on the water
Weather never fought her
Walking on the water
She knows it's all right
You know it's all right

Crack in the Clouds
02:54
|
|||
|
Crack in the clouds
Water coming down
All over me
All over town today
Back in the crowd
Thinking 'bout what you said
when you said
that it would be okay
Did I even blink at you
When you trod on me?
Did you think of me
When you winked at me?
Did you see me?
Crack in the clouds
That's not allowed
Sitting in the back of the crowd
with you today
Darkness all around
And the wind begin to howl
And the water's coming down
And you're always trying to make it rain
Did I even dance around and prance around
like a unicorn upon a cloud?
Round and round
and the horn's coming out
and the Pegasus will fly
and the fish will all die
on the sacrifice day of the Festival Gate

Sweet Roller
02:23
|

|
Roll on, sweet roller
Don't paint yourself into a corner
See the light, let it shine
Don't snuff it with your mind
With your mind you can go
Anywhere you want, you know
Lift your eyes up, you'll see
The sun will go
But then the stars will show
Fail on, sweet failer
You could have been a tailor
Sewing lives that were lost
You made it from whole cloth
And when you try it on
The seams tear apart
And even though it breaks your heart
To fall apart could be a special art
Try on, sweet tryer
You are walking on a wire
Down below I can see
The balance you must need
To stay up there in the air
And as you go
I say a little prayer

Vagabond
04:23
|
|||
|
There's a vagabond under the floor
Giant firehoses knocking
Everyone out of the door
And every building in this city
Is falling apart for you
The word that's sitting on our tongues
Starts and ends with you
Webs and sacs of eggs upon the breeze
Just to cough or sneeze or breathe
Could make the future turn around
And all the words are little gongs
I never hit them straight on
You can't sleep and all your friends
Are coupling up on you
Walking through the ancient city
I voted to live in ruins
Walk into the Coliseum
Where they want me to fight you

Compass
04:49
|
|||
|
Ivory white linen envelope
Flying across the sea
Borne on the wings of hope
Across the sea
It's ever so deep
And I'm letting it stay
Right there on the shelf
Where I folded it
Right back into itself
1 into 3
Stuttering compass
You trailed me
Now you're gone
In a sulfurous energy
Color it Green
Lost in the Sea

Witness
02:59
|
|||
|
You've been talkin in your sleep
But in the light of day there's not a peep
I'd been feeling so unique
But when you say it's true
I just don't believe it
So hold down the fortress
While I pick up the actress
I want a witness
I know you've been feeling down
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Now it's time to take it off
Lately you've been getting softer
and softer
So hold down the fortress
While I pick up the actress
I need a witness
So hold down the fortress
While I go ask the waitress
I want a witness

Satancide

There was a satancide
Down by the railroad tracks
Why did he live there?
I don't know
There was an empty hide
Down by the random shacks
Why did he live there?
I don't know
Oh
I don't know
There was a foamy tide
Down by the rocky shore
Where did he run to?
I don't know
Under the yellowed robe
Under the mossy block
Where did he run to?
I don't know
Oh
I don't know
I had a feeling then
There was a lonely crow
Why did he live there?
I don't know
Finally drifter ships
Under the sliders shown
Why did he live there?
I don't know
Oh
I don't know

It Spins
04:53
|
|||
|
Some kind of grass grows
Some kind of wind blows
Something in your eyes
Telling me
And it spins
And I'll say it again
Look how the sun rose
See how the river flows
Something in your eyes
Moving me
And it spins
And I'll say it again
Big city's lighting up
Red moon is coming up
People on the street telling me
"Don't stop your dreaming"
And I'll say it again
And it spins

Considering the Breeze
02:40
|
|||
|
Considering the breeze that blows so free
It bends us like the trees although we cannot see
The delicatest sneeze could take you away from me
Considering the breeze
Thinking of the waves out in the bay
How they wash the shore and slowly wear away
All the rocky outcrops on this land
Nothing stays forever
or at all
and
I'm considering the sand
Thinking of the moss upon the stone
And the way the compass points the way to home
All along the starway lighting up the sky
And the way the pigeons find the other side
Not knowing where they're going
Never getting lost
I'm considering the moss

The Leaves
05:30
|
|||
|
Well I thought I was a cloud
Just floating on by
And the rain
Was just a dream in my mind
And the sun was in the sky
And the light filled up my eyes
And the night
Was just a dream to me
But the leaves on the trees
Weren't half as green as me
And I'm sorry that I said
We were free
Now the water in the sea
Isn't half as blue as me
And you're swept away
Just like me
And we are free
Well I thought I was a stream
Just flowing on by
And the falls
Were just a dream in my mind
And the world was up in space
Just spinning round in place
And the end
Was just a dream to me
