Let's play soccer outside on the patio
I'll kick you over the fence and then you'll be out
I want your exit from walls unkind to you
To be safe and warm and happy too you'll live on
We crossed grey skies at a time when we're not looking best
Yet you like me and you wanna be my friend
I'm so fed up with these meals that they're fucking up
This sous should go and hang himself and be shunned
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
You like movies about dogs that run away
And go on cross country treks then get hit by cars
I heard screaming down the hall by the dining room
There was someone with their hands tied above their head
That wasn't dreaming when that girl had a heart attack
I can only hope that she remembers her name
I'm so sorry that I made you get mad at me
When I told you that I didn't like your hair
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home

CIRCLES

I knew we were stuck
I was certain you were growing up
I'd come see you but I can't even drive
In the wheel is where we would hide
I've just fallen to
A town of circles and I fell with you
We'll come back when I can drive
Guess I'll see you next July
Take your eyes off me now
I don't wanna leave this town
All my friends are gone
Guess that's it so long
On a Saturday
I was certain you would run away
Oh my god, I know that you're mine
It don't feel like that sometimes
On a dollar bill
I wrote to you that I'm feeling ill
I'll be better by the time
I come see you next July
Take your eyes off me now
I don't wanna leave this town
All my friends are gone
Guess that's it so long

SALEM
04:11
|
|||
|
I'm going down
I'm going down to Salem
Under the sounds
Over the grounds on your lawn
Do you recall what you did there
Do you remember
Do you remember all the times
You had your ways
That you don't have now
No you don't have em now
But you wait still
I've made the rounds
Nobody can compare you
Forward the scenes
I would like to hold you
I like your stories that you tell me
Bout your family
And your sister's new boyfriend
He reminds
He reminds you of your dad
But you hold him dear
So dear to your heart

I've got bone cancer, my body's crystallizin
Soon it will be over and so I'm realizin
The down payments on my car
Are not worth much, never have been so
And I don't care much at all anymore
Sandy's yappin, she wants her magazines back
Might as well pretend as though I'm six feet underneath now
But I don't have no frets at all
About the fact that I'm growing cold
Cause I don't see life like that anymore
I lost my head when I had to go to bed
I kicked and screamed and promised daddy I'd run away instead
But now I only think about the fool I must've played
Nothing I can say or do to change
Yeah nothing I can say or do to change
And I thought Jesus would start sending me postcards
But all my life he's treated me as though he had a headstart
I think I'll block his number now
My granny gave me it somehow
Cause Jesus don't seem to love me anymore
I stole a total of ten k's worth of fast food
Since my neighbor relayed me the doctor's real bad news
But I've been havin fun I'd say
Don't gotta give no one the time of day
If only I could live to stay this way
Yeah if only I could live to stay this way

YOU'LL NEVER DIE
01:51
|
|||
|
We've seen great things to hold in our mind
Though I wouldn't bet on the best of times
I know you'll forget those behind
Up there somewhere your heart's in the sky
Eight miles deep's where your new love will find it
And you'll never die

EYES AND ARMS
05:55
|
|||
|
I wanna raise a child with you
With you, with you, with you
And though it fades you smile away the fumes
I knew, I knew, I knew
From far away the miles are only few
Your mind is in my room
It's my demise to have someone like you
And when I'm home your eyes and arms are gold
And though you shine on I can't stay long
Why don't you care? I'm always everywhere
You could find some and not be there
I can recall when I laid eyes on you
You made something so new
And all the skies, they parted out of view
And that's not often true
Though all the world is tied up in my shoes
The waves are crashing soon
It's over now yet I don't have a clue
And if it's real, the things you say you feel
It's rest assured that your love won't steal
As years go by and I still wonder why
Your pictures won't go from in my mind

PUT HIM DOWN
02:19
|
|||
|
He's bad news, stay away from him
You'll find someone again to play the part
It ain't cruel to stray from kin
If it's time your love isn't pinned by a bad heart
He's not a child of lucifer
Not any more than you are
Who are you to put him down?
Just attitude for three or four months more
Is what he'll have in store when you're at school
I think you'll bear, cause after all your hair
Is sure to make him green, just play it cool
You might be sad you've lost a friend
But then again remember
Did you really like him to begin?
Sure he can draw, he's got a style
It's been a while, can you think of
Something else you truly admire about him?

HEARTS
02:13
|
|||
|
Hey
We didn't win
But we can smoke
Let's dip again
Back to your 'bode
I have a game
You'll play it with me
You'll pass three to your left
And plan out your first turn
What will you do, what will you do?
I'm not sad
I'm kinda glad
Ain't in the know
But watch the show
Don't kick and scream
I ain't a team
It's been an hour
My mouth is sour
I've been tripped
By this kid
He dealt a bad hand
But I won't give in
Cause I played him just now
Oh did I? Yeah I did

REINDEER'S LULLABY
05:03
|
|||
|
You'll find your people
In books outside your home
Springtime is warmer in the snow
You'll make it worthwhile
And tumble like a stone
And rest in the meadows that you know
And all your good friends
Will gather by your side
Wide ears to the reindeer's lullaby
You have no reason
No reasons to your name
It's only a heart for steady game
|

The things you need are not much further
They never were to where you are
Now you're free to start
You'll find your heart's beating on the curb
And though you've far too long been said
The things you need are in your head
No, you are not dead
You're still at home and you're a kid
Be good to your mind
It's only what's most near to you all the time
And while you've had your roughest day
You're at the front of your parade
Wait, you're far from done
There's still the sun, it's only May
And though you've far too long been said
The things you need are in your head
No, you are not dead
You're still at home and you're a kid

SPACEDOGS
02:09
|
|||
|
Spacedogs, it's so clear
You're a bird, you tell em
Bout your world and how it's cold
Go get em
Stand tall, but don't you sneer
Though the world may not seem near
Sometimes it's what's most dear to you that's all
You are made of
Sounds and space dust
And if I could I'd listen in the sky
Wait up, there's still a year
Just relax and drink a beer
Cause a kid don't have no fears at all
In the silk bay
Where the geese play
There'll be no tears, no way

SINNERS SING MY TUNES
02:48
|
|||
|
You ain't never been this low, no
Do you get this low?
You'll see as I do
When your life's behind you
I'm fried and brokeboned
Frail slight to make boats row
Singbirds and talk to
Sinners singin my tunes
Oh Mr. Fisher
Draw me a picture
Next year come winter
Would you real me in
And do me in
Bismillah said so
When this crowd comes rollin
Make styles you've got to
If you wanna be talked to
The prattle ceases
As the groom passes seats
A sight for trite eyes
The devil in khakis
I wanna get so high
Oh I'll embrace time
You'll watch me pass by
And the government
Will see no end

KEEP WRINGING ME OUT
05:55
|
|||
|
You wanna be a baker
You say you've got the muffins
And I can be your maker
If you just keep em comin
And I just bought a doggy
Just to make things simpler
My grandma made her bonnets
She's gonna be my sister
You want it
You want it
Keep wringing me out
You want it
You want it
Just keep lyin about
And I just fired my seeker
I didn't like the records
My child's eyes are weepin
I bet he hates his father
I think I'll wait till morning
My housemaid hasn't bothered
If I could change just one thing
I'd make my terrace taller
You want it
You want it
What's music about?
You want it
You want it
Just keep love in your mouth

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG

It's been too long
It's been too long
It's been too long
Wouldn't you say?

DOOR
01:14
|
|||
|
Wait for something out your door
You are someone I adore
I'll be on my way back home
I have lived my life alone
|

HEY THAT'S ME
02:31
|
|||
|
I used to think the world was made of thieves
But now I see that they all breathe
I used to hate so much what we create
But all that means is that I'm mean
Don't you ever ponder
Bout the way that you see your friends
And don't you ever wonder
Why you've wished for so much love to end
I saw a guy sleeping on the street
I wondered why he didn't dream
But then I looked back at him and I saw
Hey that's me, he's just me
Don't you ever ponder
Bout the way that you see your friends
And don't you ever wonder
Why you've wished for so much love to end
Don't you ever ponder
Bout the way that you see your friends
And don't you ever wonder
Why you've wished for so much love to end

Is it cause you know I'll stick around
Is that why you always make me frown
You know I've got no place to go
I think I already told you so
Is that why you only slam the door these days?
And if I could I'd run for miles
I wouldn't know I'm in denial
I really do mean it when I smile
So don't get cold when I inquire
I wish you'd only keep yourself at bay
You really hold me down sometimes
But all I want for you is to be sure that you'll get by
And though I watch you try to hide
I'll have you know that I can see the love that's still inside
And because I've known you very long
I know this ain't a simple song
Nor am I one to fly right by
I love you and you won't inspire
A change in my perception of your mind
While I wait for you to figure out
The demon that's been runnin bout
I won't get sad or feel so down
And no I won't be shoutin out
And lastly I won't place a doubt at all
You really hold me down sometimes
But all I want for you is to be sure that you'll get by
And though I watch you try to hide
I'll have you know that I can see the love that's still inside
The love that's still inside
The love that's still inside
Mhmmmmmmm
thanks 4 listening :)
