Electric & Alive

At the end of life
You're gonna howl at the moon
From a hideous height
Where our air is renewed
Always so unlike
Everything I knew
Loved the smell of midnight
And never up before noon
Lately I've been thinking
And thinking makes me wanna say
Your neon face is getting brighter
And it was only lit today
I'll wait outside
Electric and alive
Until you realize
That I'm perfectly aligned
Slow me down
Slow me down
Make some sound
Make some sound.

Cross This Wide Country

You know I love the west, but it's different when what's in your chest belongs somewhere else
So a Pennsylvania highway at six a.m. is better than your mountains when you've had enough of them for a while
There were times before the others woke when I could've heard the words god spoke, but he'll never speak to me
And the sunrise melting through the fog after doing 80 all night long is an even better feeling
There's a future
There's a future
Somewhere
Somewhere
There's a future somewhere inside of me, and it's dying to get out and see what this life is all about
There's a hole that is the whole of this heart that wants to love and never part with whatever strikes its fancy
There's a future
There's a future
Somewhere
Somewhere.

Summer strikes and there's that thickness in the air
Slice it with a knife and let it bleed and would you care?
There's a world of green on fire and it's so serene
In a thinner place I'm gasping for air, stumbling
If we've met before I'm sorry I don't know your name
It's been a year or more of faces that all look the same
Now I'm home and I've forgotten all those words I learned
It's so easy once you've used up everything you earned
And here's my little place now
And they're gonna show me how
Show me how it is
And they're gonna show us all when
Oh it's four years out the door, then
And we're begging at the back stairs
Humbly walking off in pairs.

Perfect Little Pearls
03:35
|

The college boys and girls don't know shit about their world unless it's soaked in booze
So I wrote down all I knew for the able curious few, lined in perfect little pearls
The days we've passed collapse
We're not ever coming back
The kids all play and scream, driving daddy's SUV, private school stickers on the back
I thought I got away, but that's harder every day and I'm tired of the tired scene
The days we've passed collapse
We're not ever coming back
Another day is another waste
And I'll never wrap my head around this place
I have to wait, but I've been patient enough for four years
All I ask is to get on with my life, but not here.

So Wrong
03:15
|
|

We're still waiting, we're still lost
Living slowly, living soft
But we don't need your lying god
To make things worse when everything he
Says is
So wrong
So wrong
So wrong
If only we could live our lives
Without that fiction telling you why
The benighted majority has the authority, and I'm scared to death
Why?
When you self-righteously assume
There's no alternative to your views
And an impossibility becomes the only thing you see
I wanna scream
So wrong.

October Days

I was so presumptuous, back in those October days
I was there in anything you'd say
You were so flattering, in your off-hand way
But you wouldn't, couldn't stay
Those were such high hopes for me, like nobody I'd ever seen
We were so glorious when I sped your car through the trees
And the cops let us off so easy
We were so glorious when we opened that bottle of wine
And you told me you were not mine
What are we now?
What are we now?
What are we now? (I was so presumptuous)
What are we now? (You were so flattering)
What are we now? (We were so glorious)
What are we now? (We were so glorious).

Feels Like Years

She likes it when I've thought about the end of what I'm trying to say
But like an honest man without the faintest plan, I'll fuck it up some way
It's been months to go on just a shred of hope that we still seem the same
I sputter and I choke, I can't forget that coat
Oh, to have just
One more time, and we'd be fine
To see the crime that makes it right
Feels like years
Now I'm so far out, in a senseless town, and I can't help but doubt
So I sit and dream about your rain back east, surprised I want it now
And I think about the things that we pretend we can be
What we pretend we really need
What we pretend we really mean, oh
What we pretend we really mean
We really mean
What we pretend we really mean.

At Lake Michigan
06:04
|
|
||
|
I'm bleeding money out the ears
And the buzz won't go away
My body's older than its years
And I've got nothing left to say
All the turquoise in the lake
Mocks the seas that it will never be
As I rest my tired brain
That won't connect with what's around its head
The heart, it beats too much
When it's not in the right place
Forgotten melodies and such
God, I'm tired of being awake
The heart, it beats too much
When it's not in the right place
Forgotten melodies and such
My god, I'm tired of being awake.

A Lifetime
02:20
|
|

|
I waited a quarter of my life
Until everything was just right
Now in a year I've loved a lifetime
And you know that suits me just fine, just fine
Ooh
Now it gives and it takes and it's perfect
And it can always make me nervous
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
And I hope you feel this someday, someday, someday
Ooh
Ooh.

Means & Ends

|

When our time arrives
Know that I will be here
Falling from the sky
Oh I know it's so near
When the time is right
And we're done remembering
We'll just dream all night
No matter what the days bring.

For A While

Isn't that the purpose of the day? Float around for a while and slip away.
Isn't that the meaning of the night? We're useless, and we see without sight.
Isn't that the beauty of life? We're just here for a while and then we die.
Isn't that the beauty of life? We're just here for a while and then we die.
