I trust the weather I try to make the bodies give me strength Do we see them in the yard? Who cares in they're rolling in bed? There's only darkness upstairs Does love sit cold 'til you put in somewhere Do objects split it at your heart? I don't see that anymore I'm colder and colder and colder @SONG: Mexican Women Leave home Blood becomes a foreign substance And see it as you let it dry I forgive my nature or I'll be my saint I can always feel you in heaven Living in the past I think if I remember that I'll forget this I know you well Kill the sky The sun'll fry us; burn the rain We'll die Stares from the back stairs I tie your tie, set tables I won't run your party, you can't run my life But the waters run deep Once there was two Mexican woman Ran over the hills ripped off their skin and ate it up Leave the town for the children [lay their skin across the fire] Leave their rings to their daughters And fly up It's raining again Come home It's raining in his hands Oh catch it be brave grow You make me cry Understand? Be safe, no worry So Look what you do You freeze my songs And please Come on Catch me back I can go faster than fast Catch me go get back a date Land a seal too fast Catch me go get back a date Spin the wheel too fast Help me go get back a date Live a day the past @SONG: The River Lose your way and we can stay out all night Lose your keys and we can't go home In a little time In a little gin We can touch hands again Lose your head Lose your warhead Wrote a song for a room I left long ago It was my home It was my Hell Now the girl the lives there She's an exotic She's a drunk Leaves her clothes off When it rains Run to the river She carry me She run me All the way down To the floor Where it's warm And dirty like a river My whole Hell Carry me No Run me All the way down to the river All I want is to be worthy of my Hands, but she's got plans Dirty like a river (You can't) run me down Lose it Lose your war @SONG: Juno I can't play When he wakes up She said He can't play When he thinks I'm growing up That song Juno they did in the street So many places to go and not one for me Said the she If they were pretty It'd be okay to say But that day only When she wore dresses She felt born That song Juno say the words if you have streets No one for me Said the she That song Juno they sung in the street Her husband of nineteen years Danced madly at her feet Now I can be balancing @SONG: Marriage Tree Like an old man in a dress Treat me like a 12 year old man No more hearts Don't know what 20 is Don't know where the tree stands Only follow these hands At midnight I reach for the blind Toward your head, but don't touch it I'll wish I had but when I'm dead At midnight I hit your song It sings again Don't know what age is Don't know where the tree stands I only follow these hands I couldn't make you crazy if I tried We've been swinging 'round the tree For how long now? Maybe she wants to be cared for Stay home a month here A month there Maybe take to the open roads Maybe take to the open roads Maybe take to the open roads At the marriage tree @SONG: Run Letter So many tears I'm shaking out squeezing them out and bend it The way things work together if I write this letter you can bend it Please hope can I give hope the sky won't fall Just look If I mail this letter you can send it back to me If you can dance If you can live I love you Knocked me on the head and sent me spinning It was a blast I can't remember the last time Stand between two poles and hold your arms up I'll kick me over your head and stock down Carry him Carry him Carry him And pray If I mail this letter you can send it back to me Just look I love you It isn't fair Hope you can hold your head up I can pray if you meet my gaze I can laugh if you bring me home and dry me off Count your cans and Hold them up And count them all A piece of ground where I can lay my head Where I can lay a piece of my heart I don't remember I don't remember If I saw God there or not Give me home Give me all Give me what I want I want a place at the door I surrender I surrender My place My goods My day @SONG: Saving Grace So we drive and we've driven 10,000 miles In our hometown Sink back into the driveway Which is Zen The head in the stairs Or the body in the chair? A Saving Grace at odds with technology A Saving Grace 18 with a bottle of water Cold jeans and the face of Gibraltar How many trunks of your goods? How many goods do you give away? I'm spellbound when I can't move I stand in front of you I'm flipping back through the pages of your calandar and your books And your childhood and your looks I try to move in your direction against the grain of time I'm hoping to recollect my thoughts and motions I pray to science and history Like cancer doesn't grow I worship and forget you Bye Worship and forget you A Saving Grace And holding on to what we've made As it drags us by the legs across the living room Put the children to bed For a good night For tomorrow @SONG: Drive Drive your car Through the kitchen cupboard door Through the winter Down to the floor Drive your head To the bathroom tile Smile 'round the corner and your friends They wanna play Do you wanna play games? It's alright...square your head Your head is square Go out with me Come out 1 2 3...1 2 3 I didn't care... I wanted you to know I didn't care I always loved your hair I wanna fight the clouds with your head on a stick Fight the bush with your water and your leaves And you leave so... Fight with me Run the grass Run the road The road house Home with me In my head In your heart Under your ribs In my mind Sleep your box I sleep in your mind I don't care... @SONG: Downtown She's downtown Lies in the street Been lying in the sheets She's gone home Lies in the streets Been lying in the bed Through her teeth Stares at his sky Going bling Going blind Step on corners Pick up puzzles Eating all the grain It was just a date in '80 now I can't remember the face But I can still see the Still I see his of the and... I'm a little bored and a little scared I come home I look up to see all the noise I... Can't remember now I can't remember how She's seeing everyone Stares at her spreads that love around And leaves Can't even catch the face Don't think you can grab the face So I left She's downtown Lies in the sheets Been lying in her sleep to his face She's gone home Lies in the street Been lying in the bed Through her teeth Don't have to be so brave Here he comes Here he comes @SONG: Giant Hold the man up to your hands Old hands Make the man work again Giant can Giant can get high again Hold again or hurt You will walk to the front and be blessed Make my bones shiver again Trust it again Make my bones work Giant can I I Giant can get high again I can't hold your head with both hands burned You will walk to the front and be blessed again One bed to sweat too scared to So unsettling One bed to sweat too scared too tired One bed to sweat too scared to So I'm settling in One bed to sweat too scared to Grieve Giant can Giant can look down look down Too small to look down to Too small to look down look down Just one time not to trip Just once not to trip @SONG: Walking in the Dark I can't forgive a dream You own a question It's a body You can make me cry You have a right I can see you live I can't forget you die You own a question It's a garden You can You can Can where'd you go Where'd you Boxing writhing twist and burrow Walking in the dark A hunter Runner Walking Picking up the sticks I had a dream I had a dream Rub the peers away they dont invade me I just turned 35 A round bottomed beaker I could glow I could glow and swell I could glow Turn black Turn back Ride and forget My ghost of seasons past asked this bedroom what to say I said stay I have to sleep tangled in my families hair Build a house of sticks and grow the grass and build a mask Pull the grapes Turn black Turn back I can't say it till you grow a face Walking in the dark...
