Toucanet 02:53
lyrics
When did my sky turn gray? Seems that its all away Living in that world Living in that world Tell me your fire sign I’m on the air in five Living in that world Living in that world Making your famous cake Falling from your side Packing a bag for a week All of this hide and seek Living in your world Living in your world Riding the New York beat Falling from your side

A Serious Light 02:53
lyrics
Save Richard for the holiday An inferior to make up minds Stop playing with the long game I fear you could be left behind I still lie in the shade And I care enough to recognize Caved in for romance It appears that you can not decide You’ve got me on the run Starfaced and camouflaged You’ve got me in the right Caught up in a serious light Started taking moments To clear my head and try to find Some kind of wonder Even when I am teary eyed Stop playing in the crowd Lost in the world inside You gave me the water But the waters gone dry You’ve got me on the run Starfaced and camouflaged You’ve got me in the right Caught up in a serious light When its all Layed out Fade on And grow Started walking the city lights Cause I care enough to make you mine Save Richard from the horror From the horrors of time You’ve got me on the run Starfaced and camouflaged You’ve got me in the right Caught up in a serious light

Wolves 03:09
lyrics
And I can’t understand what I’ve done right These are wolves that I fight When I sleep in the dark with my best friend These are wildeyed moments Like sundown A calendar turned around Blanket found Tonight I am gently alive in my body These are wounds that still bleed When I fake an arrival in my head These are the months that I dread Like sundown A calendar turned around Blanket found Tonight I have carried this boat by myself here These are wolves that I don’t fear I’ve established the moment that came and went When that love of mine was sent Like sundown Don’t care if the world lets me out Blanket found Tonight

Two Funerals 04:13
lyrics
I run like The raindrops on The windowpane Of our old cafe Where every poem Still rattles While your shaddows On a table This is just a bus Flying forward through the sky Where all on board it together There’s no time to wonder why Might be a blind monkey driving Might be a smooth dolphin pushing Keep on checking the rearview All depends on whos looking I keep chasing the rabbit Force whatever I’m finding We were in love with each other We were in love with the timing I’ve been wandering around I’ll catch whoever’s been drumming Keep on telling myself Some surprise is coming I walk down The same street that We stood on like statues In the summer heat While your mother and father Brother and sister Are breaking bread with Your so-called man This is just a bus Flying forward through the sky Where all on board it together There’s no time to wonder why Might be a blind monkey driving Might be a smooth dolphin pushing Keep on checking the rearview All depends on whos looking I keep chasing the rabbit Force whatever I’m finding We were in love with each other We were in love with the timing I’ve been wandering around I’ll catch whoever’s been drumming Keep on telling myself Some surprise is coming This is just a bus Flying forward through the sky There’s no emblem on the shuttle There’s no time to wonder why Might be a blind monkey driving Might be a smooth dolphin pushing Keep on checking the rearview All depends on what's cooking I keep blowing your ashes Through a hole in the moon We were in love with each other We were in love with the truth I’ve been wandering around I’ll catch whoever’s been drumming Keep on telling myself Some surprise is coming

Lonely1 02:38
lyrics
She’s a girl Loves this world So I turn In the valley head like that Lonely one I’m an x So complex Such a mess When I carry on like that Lonely one When she wakes me from my nest Pulls against my pillow She’s a girl Lost this world So I turn In the valley head like that Lonely one

Shadows 04:36
lyrics
And what I hoped it would be Was free Served on a wicked note I never dropped it off So low Like shadows in the garden Waiting for your words in each and every heart Waiting for your words in each and every heart And as I passed below The glow Something told me I was home I never wanted to be More free Of my standard shape and body Waiting for your words in each and every heart Down for the count And if my timing with you Was true Never gonna let it slide I’ve ever had a love So long My shadow has a double Waiting for your words in each and every heart Waiting for your words in each and every heart Waiting for your words in each and every heart

Chained to the Stars 03:59
lyrics
I’m chained to the stars My heart is strapped to the sun I’m chained to the stars My heart is strapped to the sun I wake up every morning With my face frozen to the floor Cocaine pretty baby Cocaine and get my fill Cocaine pretty mama Don't save me nothing will And I’ll keep on riding this ghost train Until the night becomes the day Take care pretty baby Lest you fall in the face of pain Take care pretty baby Lest you fall in love again I’m just tired of running around this town Not a reason known by now I’m chained to the stars I’m chained to the stars

Motel Mornings 03:58
lyrics
I’ve got my head in a cage But it's okay It feels easier that way Than a lonely sundown I’ve got my face in the clouds I’m looking a round Running from town to town to town Through the motel mornings I’ve got my eyes on a prize It shuffles inside Counting on you to tell me Something Is to safe for you Is to look out Is to savor you No, no, no I’ve got my mind in a jam Pinned and I ran Trying myself to understand Why I’m such a stranger Counting on you to tell me Something Is to safe for you Is to look out Is to savor you Something Is to safe for you Is to look out Is to savor you No, no, no I’ve got my head in a cage But it's okay It feels easier that way I’ve got my mind in a jam Pinned and I ran Trying myself to understand I’ve got my head in a cage But it's okay It feels easier that way I’ve got my mind in a jam Pinned and I ran Trying myself to understand

Feathers 03:43
lyrics
There’s a murder in this town There’s a town in this murder Sunrise in the sky Blank heart deserter Stealing all my bread Every single morn Running forwards and backwards My pockets are all torn Can’t you see? Can’t you see? See what the other side of love does to me I’ve got pockets in my mind I’ve got feathers in my brain I’ve got pockets in my mind I’ve got butter in my brain There’s a full moon on the rise And I’m sinking to ashes My heart is in twine My hands are molasses Can’t you see? Can’t you see? See what the other side of love does to me I’ve got metal in my mouth I’ve got tinsel in my teeth I’ve got metal in my mouth Cold smile beneath I am breaking through the door As my face turns to gold My hands are on fire My brain explodes Can’t you see? Can’t you see? See what the other side of love does to me There’s a murder in this town There’s a town in this murder Sunrise in the sky Blank heart deserter Stealing all my bread Every single morn Running forwards and backwards My pockets are all torn Can’t you see? Can’t you see? See what the other side of love does to me

Pieces of Sky 02:31
lyrics
When the love that we want And the love we have are one Pieces of sky fall down On everyone Not at all anything Like the rivers in your eyes When I step on the brakes Cause I’m feeling shakes inside Something so hard to find It blows my mind Not at all anything Bad things that we do to each other The good things that we do for each other Living in the space of lovers again When the love that we want And the love we have are one Pieces of sky fall down On everyone Not at all anything The rivers in your eyes There’s not at all anything Like the rivers in your eyes
