Fly From Heaven Paul is making me nervous Paul is making me scared Walk into this room and swaggers Like he's God's own messenger Change the name of my brother Change the things that he said Says that he speaks to him But he never even knew the man But I'd give my life for him Like water through my hands You'd give him any ending But if he's all you say Would he fly from heaven To this world again To this world again Take whatever you're needing Take whatever you can We are broken from within Run to another land Water through my hands Or is it just beginning But if he's all you say Would he fly from heaven To this world again To this world again They took my brother They ripped him from me To twist his words as they did His body Denied his family Denied his beauty To lay him down at the feet Of those he couldn't save Couldn't save, couldn't save Will it be the end Or is he still ascending But if he's all you say Would he fly from heaven To this world again To this world again @SONG: 2. Woodburning Say what you need I kick you down No I'm fine And don't you hang around And I find myself Here in another home Where everything moves so slow So tired Take the longest day Throw it all away I can't stand it But I can't do anything Every day's the same Nothing ever change I can't stand it But I can't do anything You should know by now We're all liars Take me where you go Only higher Take the longest day Throw it all away I can't stand it But I can't do anything Everyday's the same... Here is another home Where everything moves so slow So tired @SONG: 3. Something's Always Wrong Another day I call and never speak And you would say nothing's changed at all I can't feel much hope for anything If I won't be there to catch you if you fall Again It seems we meet In the spaces In between We always say It won't be long But something's always wrong Another game of putting things aside As if we'll come back to them some time A brace of hope a pride of innocence And you would say something has gone wrong Again It seems we meet In the spaces In between We always say It won't be long But something's always wrong @SONG: 4. Stupid Four times he came by I did not look Talked about the reservoir His thumbs were hooked On his carpenter's belt As he squinted in the sun Smiled wide many times Think I smiled back once And it's frightening Oh, I didn't expect that from you It's blinding Serious are you seriously I am feeling really stupid now Last time on the fly Work had all been done Sanding down the ceiling So it ends up in the rug We were waiting in the bathroom 'Til he finished up One short "hi" and no goodbye She says she knew him once And it's frightening Oh, I didn't expect that from you It's blinding Serious are you seriously And I am feeling really stupid now And it's frightening Oh, I didn't expect that from you It's blinding Can't see a think I see I see And I am feeling really stupid I am feeling stupid I am really feeling stupid now Stupid now Stupid now @SONG: 5. Crowing Been waiting to find You could've been happier Given the time If he'd make up his mind You'd give yourself to anybody Who would cross that line And it was never a question He was crowing for repair You'd give him love and affection But you couldn't keep him there Get over regret While you were sleeping with the angels He was under the bed And the more skin that you shed The more that the air in your throat will linger When you call him your friend And it was never a question He was crowing for repair You'd give him love and affection But you couldn't keep him there Staring at a a cold little hand Reading fault lines Of a shell of a man You were waiting for a word from above Wouldn't you know it No answer ever did come And it was never a question You were crowing for repair You'd give him love and affection You couldn't keep him there You were... @SONG: 6. Listen Well I wonder Do we learn Seems we're making The same wrong turn Call you sacred Call you obscene Call you faithless Call you anything Call and you listen Listen, listen, listen So I'm a liar So it seems My desire Could justify anything So is there nothing That lies in between This cold silence And a scream Scream Listen Listen Listen... Caught in headlines We are frozen Cannot hide There's no break No time If you can I might listen Call and you listen Listen Listen Listen... @SONG 7. Windmills I spend too much time raiding windmills We go side by side laugh until it's right There's something that you won't show Waiting where the light goes Take the darkest hour break it open Water to repair what we have broken There's something that you won't show Waiting where the light goes And anyway the wind blows All worth waiting for Pull on the borders to lighten the load Tell all the passengers we're going home I spend too much time seeking shelter World without end couldn't hold her There's something that you won't show... Anyway the wind blows @SONG: 8. Nanci I can't believe you You bend your words Like Uri Geller's spoons Not quite safe here When every judgment Seems to smack of doom Are you OK? I'm just fine You take Nanci For me Loretta's fine A legal precedent Could set us straight But no one's brought up suit And I'm assuming That if they did The point would still be mute Are you joking? No I'm just fine You take Nanci, For me Loretta's fine No I've changed my mind I'll take Nanci, For you Loretta's fine And still we walk without quite seeing things And I'll admit there's not that much to see And I will follow through And expect that you will follow suit (Repeat first verse and chorus) Loretta's fine Loretta's fine... @SONG: 9. Fall Down She said, "I'm fine, I'm okay" Cover up your trembling hands There's indecision when you Know you ain't got nothing left When the good times never stay And the cheap thrills Always seem to fade away When will we fall When will we fall down (Better) Jump back, got to get out of here Been too (too) long this time Jump back, got to get out of here When will we fall down She hates her life She hates her skin She even hates her friends Tries to hold on to all the Reputations she can't mend And there's som echance we could fail But the last time someone was Always there for bail When will we fall When will be fall down Jump back, got to get out of here Been too long this time Jump back, got to get out of here When will we fall down She said, "I'm fine, I'm okay" Cover up your trembling hands There's indecision when you Know you ain't got nothing left For the last time conscience calls For a good friend I was never there at all When will we fall When will we fall down Jump back... @SONG: 10. Inside Free my heart to feel again Free my mind to understand To run unfettered Pull the blinders from my eyes Let me see these endless skies And drown here where I stand In the beauty of the land And all my life It lay inside For all my life Tear this anger from my soul Wash me clean and leave me whole Leave me higher Work my hands to make them strong Lift my arms to carry on That anywhere I go To never be alone And all my life It lay inside For all my life We were always leaving Since we started breathing And running back no wonder We are torn asunder To give me life To give me life To give me life @SONG: 11. Begin Are you given vision Are you second sight Are you older than your life Eighty days of sorrow Endless more in sight Still you child burn bright And you see me crying again And you hold out your little hand Lead me shaking to his room I thought I'd never see again Close the door behind you Turning out the light Press a flashlight up against the wall You say: "This is how we knew him, In a little egg It opened up and this is daddy now." Now you're stepping back towards me Til the room is bathing in light and the answer there before me There's no ending when we die Are you sleeping here beside me Are you shining bright as the sky Are you breathing now inside me There's no ending when we die @SONG: 12. Reincarnation Song Thought I'd be all right today Thought I'd be alive today Give me your eyes I'll show you things You never dreamed you thought you'd see I find myself in light I'd seen In sleep sometimes or mescaline And like the sun you can't stare into Very long without it blinding you I thought this light would be easy But there's a tugging at my sleeve And too much baggage I brought with me to leave Something so big I can't understand From trying to I would go mad So I hurry back to little earth For another life another birth Another life another birth Mother?
