Decoder Ring
02:42
|
|||
Off the handle, back on the shore
Sleeping in forevermore
You cannot push that point away
You cannot think of what to say
Look at me
Oh, oh
I can’t be seen,
Without a decoder ring
Down in the dungeon, out in the sea
You can’t pin that shit on me
I got a solid alibi
It doesn’t matter if you try
To look at me
Oh, oh
I can’t be seen,
Without a decoder ring
Off the handle, back on the shore
Sleeping in forever more
You can’t wish this part away
You gotta think of what to say
Look at me
Oh, oh
I can’t be seen,
Without a decoder ring

The Constant
03:08
|
|||
In the novel I was a farmer
You were a wanderer and a sage
Didn’t know if I would starve
Until the harvest fell off the page
Try to warn me
But you didn’t want to give the ending away
Now I search for signals
Locked inside your gaze
And it’s not that I’m too old
To know
Cause I have seen the rain
In the movie I could go farther
I could go faster and end up the same
I could push harder on the wall
Just to find myself still standing in place
You start to get the sinking feeling
That the hero can’t save the day
But you stay planted in that theatre anyway
And it’s not that I’m too old
To know
Cause I have seen the rain
And it falls upon me on the road
Full of salt and aerosol
The supports collapse
The bolts corrode away
And if falls upon me on the road
I can feel it soak into my bones
I can hear it speak in a mighty tone
And say:
The only constant here is decay

Stand Back
03:15
|
|||
You feel the stinging in your throat
And it comes as no surprise
You feel the beating of your heart
And your steps land in time
It’s gonna take a little force
For the stars to align
Stand back
Don't catch yourself hanging around
Watch out
Scatter away like you're light through a keyhole
Hey now
Don't lay down dead on the ground
Watch out
You keep your head on a swivel kid
You know exactly what you did
It’s not good enough to be
So conveniently blind
And there will be no peace
Until the train arrives on time
And you try to change the seas
And they try to move the line
Stand back
Don't catch yourself hanging around
Watch out
Scatter away like you're light through a keyhole
Hey now
Don't lay down dead on the ground
Watch out
You know exactly what you did
They know exactly where you live

On a Train
02:49
|
|||
You’re reeling
It’s a new kind of feeling
And clearly you see it
But you still don’t believe it
On a train, without a stop
Is this the track that we want?
Hey now, don’t look at me, I could be wrong
But if I pull on the brake
Is it all it would take?
Or would the heart of this engine still motor on?
And you’re seething
Seeing is believing
But it’s not enough to know it
And hope not to blow it
And you’re seeing
A seedling is believing
But it’s not enough to sow it
You still gotta grow it
On a train, without a stop
Is this the platform we want?
Hey now, don’t look at me, I could be wrong
But if I pull on the brake
Is it all it would take?
Or would the heart of this monster still motor on?

Little Dream
03:32
|
|||
Oh sunny day, wash me awake
With golden rays so warm and vital
Let every song start with sha la la
Let the chorus ring out proud and wild
Let the breaking spring, clean the vacant streets
Let the city breathe like a newborn child
Let the budding leaves and the coming green
Set my mind at ease just for awhile
But the winding prose
Never shows
Or won’t disclose
If I’m not here
Where I go
When I disappear
Oh little dream, set my body free
Let me circle the trees like a red breast robin
As we count the days, let the records play
So that one delight is not forgotten
Find the faintest spark in the darkest pit
Find a guiding star on the horizon
Take an ancient map to a brand new love
Build a sheltered nest of care and passion
But the winding prose
Never shows
Or won’t disclose
If I’m not here
Where I go
When I disappear
Walk on the wire, take a breath and don’t look down
Don’t stop to check, if the rope will come unwound
Do not forget, that you won’t hear a sound
In the event you hit the ground
Oh flower moon, you come too soon,
You fill the night with anguished trials,
As the hours pass and the tallies mount
Let no name be lost into the spiral
Let every hand reach and touch a heart
Though separated by a mile
Let our legacy be the light of love,
Spread from the rooftops weird and viral

Over Now
03:27
|
|||
You can bury it down, under the garden, beneath the beets
You can mess it around, mess up the order, and swap the seeds
But still there’s something growing
That knows no retreat
Oh-Oh It’s over now
Access your bank account, empty it out
(It’s nothing nothing)
Oh-Oh it’s over now
Light the cigar that will burn down the house
(It’s nothing, nothing)
Oh-Oh, it’s over now
Oh-Oh, it’s over now
You can bully us now
Block off the alley and barricade the streets
You can finish the night
In fits of fury and acts of deceit
But there’s a phoenix rising
With flames beneath her feet
Oh-Oh it’s over now
Light the cigar that will burn down the house
(It’s nothing, nothing)
Oh-Oh, it’s over now
Unplug the life support and play me out
(It's nothing, nothing)
Oh-Oh, it’s over now
Oh-Oh, it’s over now
Oh-Oh it’s over now
Light the cigar that will burn down the house
(It’s nothing, nothing)
Oh-Oh it’s over now
Melt down your badges and build us a plow
(It takes nothing, nothing)
Oh-Oh, it’s over now
Oh-Oh, it’s over now

Ease the Pain
03:19
|
|||
Walking out on sunbeams
Hold my hand
Central Square, I’m leaving
To start again
Packing up the suitcase
Fit you in
With a hologram of something
From within
When a sleepless night
Crawls to day,
You were here to ease the pain
Halo swings around us
Catch my fall
The apartment smells like flowers
Fresh and tall
A reminder of your brilliance
On the wall
Next to phone that’s never
Ready for the call
But the dam of now will surely break
And wash the past away
Walking out on sun beams
Hold my hand
A cluttered room of keepsakes
To defend
Walking by the turnstile
I’ll swipe you in
For a hologram of something
From within
When a sleepless night
Crawls to day,
You were here to ease the pain
You were here to ease the pain

Runway
03:20
|
|||
Said you’d never walk here again
But then you took a step in my direction
And saw the cursive scribbled underneath the desk
Well I don’t mean to contend
Just seems an ounce short of perfection
The verses trailing off into the depths
I’m sitting on the runway
I’m never going back this way again
I know it could be my undoing
If I can’t keep up with your pace
There’s no obvious play
No way to make you happy and gay again
No joke to make your mug crack a smile
No superlative thing to say
Now we don’t have to pretend
We have a deep cosmic connection
A shared diary hidden under of your bed
Now I can’t make amends
You got the right to use your own discretion
Sticking around for whatever life here is left
I’m sitting on the runway
I’m never going back this way again
I know it could be my undoing
If I can’t keep up with your pace
There’s no obvious play
No way to make you happy and gay again
No joke to make your mug crack a smile
No perfect little thing to say
I’m sitting on the runway
I’m never going back this way again
I know it could be my undoing
If I can’t keep up with your pace
If I can’t keep up with your pace
If I can’t keep up with your pace

Summer Rain
03:14
|
|||
Yeah, you gotta snap the chain
Quicker than a summer rain
Rolls off your Corolla’s hood
Some things are understood
To be smaller than a speck of grain
Lost on the astral plane
You’re too real to be good
Let me know if you would
Put it down, on the ground
Walk away
Stoned in the blazing sun
Baked on the neon lawn
You got me on the fray
What else can I say?
But I see it as a refraction
Light bends around your love
And warps both time and space
You put me in a place
If my steps retrace
I’ll find your warm embrace
So bury my hands
In the sand
Sink away

Best to Break
03:20
|
|||
Well I climbed up the ladder
Then I took a slip down the chute
I saw you off in the distance
Were you struggling too?
And they’re gonna say it don’t matter
And you’re supposed to act like you knew
But then you think of everything you have to lose
And they’re counting on their best to break you
And it’s hard to find a center
When all the spokes are removed
I get lost in the ether
And come home tired and bruised
Then they’re gonna say there’s a reason
And you’re supposed to act like that’s true
But then you think of everything you have to lose
And they’re counting on their best to break you
And they say there’s an answer
If you just follow the clues
But then you think of everything you have to lose
And they’re counting on their best to break you

Sea of You
03:31
|
|||
I want to jump off the deck today
I want to drown in a sea of you
I want to take a big deep breath of
Your dark blue
Cause I am floating in disarray
I want to find something true
I want to make myself a part of
Your world view
And all of your waves come crashing through
Strip off the paint and start anew
I want to meet the dawn awake
Dripping wet in your morning dew
I want to seed the clouds to break
While the veil is removed
And all of your waves come crashing through
Strip off the paint and start anew
I want to jump off the deck today
I want to drown in a sea of you
I want to take a big deep breath of
Your dark blue
Your dark blue
Your dark blue
Your dark

Unglued
04:38
|
|||
I do
It took a long time to find you
And now I hope to excite you
And never try to define you
'Cause I do
I hope I can delight you
And never want to defy you
Maybe try to unwind you
'Cause you make me come unglued
And you make me feel brand new
I do
I’ve been trying to sign you
That I can never decline you
Because the arrow goes straight through
'Cause you make me come unglued
And you make me feel brand new
She knows just what to say
To take me back to ground
And so I’ll be a stone
In her crown
I do
I’ll be the limbs that entwine you
And never have to remind you
That the arrow goes straight through
'Cause you make me come unglued
And you make me feel brand new
