Whisper Bang

You gotta move forward, you gotta move fast
Gotta grab the hammer and smash the glass
It's the canvas or maybe the camera
Paint it down, take a picture
Either way we're gonna burn it to the ground
You gotta move forward, you gotta move fast
You better do what they ask
There is a time, there is a place
Not whisper and not with a bang, but with a full blown blast
You better move fast
You better do what they ask

Lucky Breaks

If your body breaks before you heart
If you body breaks before your mind
You're the lucky kind
Sometimes it's the mind that breaks
Sometimes it's the body that breaks
Sometimes it's the heart that breaks
Sometimes you're the lucky kind

Baton Rouge

If I could feel the cold or I could feel the heat like you do
Then I would steal the light and keep the beat like few do
There's a trail of gold dust wherever you go
and I'm never sure what it is you've been looking for
Because I can see for miles and miles
With this lighted way you've left behind for me
And maybe one of these days I'll pull ahead so you can see
Would there be a Baton Rouge without a me, without a you
What could be real, should be real she says through and through
But we won't hesitate to break the shit you've made
And you won't hesitate to break the shit we've made
Let's pretend it matters what we do
Let's pretend it happens in Baton Rouge

I found you up on top of the roof
with a telescope and a bottle of vermouth
wondering why we never dance together any more
darling it's gotten much too hard to keep my balance
when you're looking at the stars
and I gotta believe this dance won't be worth the fall
Charlie says he'll take you in to town, he'll take you to Rita's and twirl you all around
But you say "goddamn him and his two left feet"
Nobody does it like me
Ain't no one like me
She ain't nothing like you
Ain't nobody like you
He ain't nothing like me
Nobody like me
She ain't nothing like you
Nobody like you, ain't that the truth
She's building something not sure what it is
But its made out of what was once mine, hers, and his
I say we let her, I got nothing left
Nothing left to prove

The Other Suddenly
02:32
|
|||
|
Have you ever tried to cross the i
Or ever tried to dot the t
it becomes the other suddenly
that's how easy it can be
make the waves, ride the waves
either way, nothing will ever stay the same
some of us have horrifying dreams
but we can't be afraid to sleep
I'm not afraid to sleep
Are you afraid to sleep?

Tambourines

I was just a hungry tambourin with a soldier's spirit
You were hunkering down preparing for the timpani
But this is what you get, it's what you end up with
Pick up the bricks, pick up the books
How many can you carry
Pick up the bricks, pick up the books
How many should you carry
To think I thought I had it rough
To think you thought I had it rough
What do you think we'll find in there
A lightning bolt, an unbound book, and errand strand of hair
We better not take a look, for the looks may take us
Looks a crook
I almost gave in to the tambourines, the birds, the hands and their demands
the incessant chirping of idle hens, the swap or the seed
I almost gave in, indeed

I can find the heartache in anything
I can crack a joke as the bomb detonates
Forgive me for the things that I might say
Just to give back a little of what this life takes
Tell me will your god set the bone tonight
Tell me doc will my soul ever take flight
I'll forgive the both of you if things don't turn out all right
Just to take back a little of my own fate (is that alright)
I can find the heartache in anything
I can bring a smile with another, with another it seems
Everything we do will be forgotten someday
Everything we do this life gives and this life takes

When every sound is music and every kiss is love
All your words are poetry and all my sins absolved
When every sight is damage and all your charms are slowed
until they slam into the side of a confessional
I believe in possibility
When will you give in to curiosity
So tell me what you're living for
Tell me what you're dying for
Tell me what you're killing for
Tell me what you're waiting for
(I find your confidence terrifying)
Tell me why you're waiting
Til every sound is music
Til every kiss is love

Leave it to the wind to blow it back in your face
That motherfucking sun will always show our age
I can be the breeze that blows the truth your way
Or I can be the sunrise when you're on your deathbed
Leave it to your God to tear me up in hell
If I was the coldest, I'd never be in your bed
When we were younger, we'd never carry this guilt
I can be the kind of love that makes you hate
Oh I can be the fool that claims his stake
Or we can find the wind and blow us all back to our fates
Leave it to the wind
Or I can be the breeze

The Twist
03:20

You can look through a shadow
The water is clear
It's the bottom that's dark
You wish you had a sharper knife
It's the twist, not the jab
You cannot cut the shadows
You cannot cut the sea

Keep Time
03:38

The table on your left is filled
with the pills you take
The table on your right is filled
with the pictures of your grandchildren
All of this, time will kill
There's no pill to keep time from the kill
You go too fast, you go too slow
You had them high, and then you had them low
What did you think was gonna happen?
Soon we'll see
You tear it up, you tear it down
There's no pill to keep time from the kill
What is time to a ghost?

Wherever you go be sure to fight the good fight dear
There's no point in sticking around
In sticking around here
Wherever you go be sure to fight the good fight dear
Goodbye dear
