1.
I miss you but I can’t picture you It’s another time we’re gonna feel Apologetic with the seconds of your time I see you but I can’t picture you It’s another time we’re gonna feel Apologetic with the seconds of your time I see you but I can’t picture you
2.
Knuckles of a quarter split are rapping We were only half together We wanted it to be good, too Even though I knew if I could never have you
3.
Life was good in April When I thought it could be something to age gracefully Yeah, that I could be your wayward skeleton I was killed by the sight of a crazy daisy Now in this season I drink stagnant water I retire deeply into the story of your eyes I thought I was in your light Though I’d never step foot in it I kind of wanted to talk for awhile But I guess that you needed to split Then a month of disquiet Then two months of disquiet So redact my daybook and weed on me A revolution’s coming and I want to feel free To sparkle when I fell, ditch my winnings, begin To suspend that grief that wants to come in
4.
How Long 03:55
How long can you occupy my free will? It takes a faithful servant to know how to be free Hell isn’t that far down when a crushed singer’s in town An Austrian red is making its way to my head Deliberately mistaking me for someone who is not me How long can you occupy my free will? It takes a faithful servant to know how to be free
5.
I heard you like the symphony I think I like the way you choose your limits And for a minute you’re moving up to the next floor Already arrived to the next door Is it worth it anymore? Already arrived, already arrived Everybody’s bored and they like to play your tunes Straight through the eye of the needle in my mind Streamed like a symphony, any way you choose Already arrived with the singles sung on high, alright
6.
As we drift out of the widening path We can see that nothing is the same as it was What used to be heaven is now a wasteland you can see And it is not for me It is not for me It’s not for me Drink to the moon, the highball equator, yeah We can see that nothing tastes just quite like it does What used to be heaven is now a wasteland you can see And it is not for me It is not for me It’s not for me I’m going back into the world Before the first place went up in a whirl A clean-cut dinosaur world before everything came unfurled I’m going back into the world I’m going back into the world I’m going back into the world I’m going back into the world one more time Drink to the moon, the highball equator, yeah We can see that nothing tastes just quite like it does What used to be heaven is now a wasteland you can see
7.
Motorcade 02:17
eels cry tears in Eurasia dream designer can’t keep from laughing sewn-in secrets, private softness short love on faster mornings motorcade, cheers and laughter motorcade, uncorrupted you know what they say about people today…
8.
I feel alright today The movie had enough to say To make me understand and gave me warning Sophistos make the merry go round It’s all water in this watered-down utopia In case I haven’t told ya The creaking easel is your buddy’s dirty diesel And a dozen of them occupy his mind We get and go today I’d sell my bones to make you stay I’m gripping things that burn me all the time Geniuses on beaches drink the water In this watered-down utopia In case I haven’t told ya Geniuses on beaches drink the water Sophistos make the merry go round It’s all water in this watered-down utopia In case I haven’t told ya In case I haven’t told
9.
Falling off bridges that were never even there Never cowered behind stained glass or fallen down the stairs Men beyond their riches think all women are witches With their tinctures and omissions on their manifests of wishes And they can walk on the water Color wheels are spinning when the good ones are winning If you keep your eyes closed you’ll pretend that they’re swimming When they walk on the water
