World of Tomorrow
03:09
|

Take a look at the world of tomorrow
If you would forget your sorrows
You could be there today
When you dream of all that you imagine
Know that its all in a fashion
That will lead you astray
Island, island
Speaking breaks the eerie silence
Its the myna birds that tell us
What we came here to say
Here and now then
With the doctor of the kingdom
The hymns are for to sing them
You'll feel better this way
The paintings are hung while the painters are hanged
But you can't read the thoughts from my mind by drawing blood from my veins
The flesh is dust now but I'm feeling the same
We've been drifting slowly in this direction ever since the big bang
Darlin, darlin
Who tends this perfect garden?
Is it invisible fingers that are just out of frame?
Its almost as if we've been put here on this level
Where below things are disheveled
And above are golden rays
Superstitions
Have you warned the politicians?
Well its all lost in the details on the edge of the page
Ashes ashes
Divide the earthly masses
Behind the Age of Plastic
Where we keep our primates

Tomorrow, Tomorrow
03:39
|

Tonight the lights blur around the edges
Tomorrow, tomorrow
We've seen the sights like pigeons on the ledges
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tonight the words unspoken are in your eyes
So many hearts are broken but not in time
Turn out the lights and burn around the edges
Tomorrow, tomorrow
We ate the time like birdseed on the benches
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tonight the words unspoken are in your eyes
So many hearts are broken but not in time
I really don't know why I came here
I really don't know why I stayed here
Tonight the lights blur around the edges
Tomorrow, tomorrow
We've seen the sights like pigeons on the ledges
Tomorrow, tomorrow

Walking Shadow
03:32
|
|||
AM/FM, I dream alone
Through parking level walls, I seem alone
I listen to the songs on the radio
I seem alone, I dream alone
Those modern girls in elevators
Paper mache trees, Perception's Doors
I stare at the sky, I feel alive
A dog's laugh, pulls me back
2AM on a rainy night
I think you bring gray skies, let's turn out the lights
The walls are melting fast, we know that this won't last
We barely talk, our shadows walk
For every chemical, you trade a piece of your heart, it's inevitable
The pattern on your soul bends and pulls
Down deeper still into the rabbit hole

My Tender Comrade
02:29
|
|||
My tender comrade on the front lines
Through the dust of no man's land
I still see your silhouette in the night
My tender comrade man
Barbed wire and trenches separate us
But the jokes you told keep my spirits high
The wind and the rain may dampen the mood
Behind enemy lines

Supersaturated
03:47
|
|||
Behind a veil of fog
I'm lost and gone
I will it to be
Supersaturated and in 3-D
I lost my way
So I took the long way
And I found out the hard way
But now I'm back among the living
I sculpt islands with my bare hands
Mountains to sand
Worshipped by the very ancients who see
All that I've created, up from the sea
Meld our minds
Absorb more than I can hide
Felt every emotion combined
Amalgamated, outside of space and time
You don’t even know how long I’ve waited here for you

Graveyard Grass
03:28
|
|||
One foot sinking in the graveyard grass
Souls worn thin down to brass tacks
Each breath could well be my last
Pulled into a coffin full of ice
Can't stop sinking with the dead man's float
I catch my words sticking in the back of my throat
Sign the dotted line, that would be all she wrote
Building a coffin just my size
Beat a dead horse to the glue factory
Mausoleum shiver, shiver shaking my knees
Hangman's noose got a hold on me
Got these silver dollars covering my eyes
Is this my final destination nurse?
I can't shake off King Tutankhamun's curse
Turn after turn for the worse
Headed for the grave in the blackest hearse
Here lies...
This is where we're worse for wear
A passing blindness in the glare
My numbers up I'm faced with fate
I'll have a bite and take the bait
The undertaker undertook
A rigamortis frozen look
Pay the piper, pay the price
Rolling Death's final dice
In the gallows evermore
Refrigerating in the morgue
Executioner's metal axe
Empty eyes behind a mask
Rotting in the satin red
Roadkill possum playing dead
Reaper points and pulls me close
A poison pill and final dose

Time for Such a Word
03:42
|
|||
There's no time for such a word
There's no time for such a word
There's no time to sleep or eat or drink
But we need to do it anyway
There's no time to be born, or live or die
It always ends the same
And if you can't find the time
The time will find you
There's no time to listen too
There's no time to listen too
There's no time to blink or breathe or think
But we do it anyway
There's no time to relax, fill the tank with gas
It always end the same
And if you can't find the time
The time will find you

I have dotted every ‘i’
And we have crossed under every streetlamp
Till the last syllable of recorded time
If you're still listening
When it comes down to it
What did you expect?
When it comes down to it
Did you think I could forget?
About you
I am caught up in your eyes
And we have kissed under every streetlamp
Till the last syllable of recorded time
And it's worth listening
When it comes down to it
What do we really expect?
When it comes down to it
Did you think we'd just forget?
About each other

Brief Candle
04:09
|

Brief candle of mine
The sun is away
And as I think about the day
Each thought slowly fades away from me
Brief candle of mine
The moon's blushing face
Silently flickers in the waves
Each thought disappears as the next takes it's place
You don't have to stay here with me
I know, I want to stay here with you
I saw your face in this photograph
I swear by polygraph, I feel this way
I see your face and it reminds me that
That it doesn't have
To be this way
Until another day
I don't even mind the gray
I'll take the love, you remind me of
Until another day

Yesterday
03:02
|
|||
Yesterday's worries have decided to bleed into today
Maybe tomorrow will decide that it should fade away
And I thought about you all the time, all the time
You never thought about me anytime
I never thought that it would last but now I hope you can see
Last night's troubles have decided to return this evening
Maybe tonight I can get rid of them permanently
Yesteryear's troubles have decided to rear their ugly heads
Now I am feeling like I should have just stayed at home in bed
And I thought about you day and night, day and night
You never thought about me anytime
You had it set that it wouldn't last but soon I hope you'll see
That all the times you told me "No, I'm not the hurtin’ kind"
That everyday it happens, still you're always on my mind
And every time you tell me no, you'll have to wait in line
But we both know its happened before and this won't be the last time
This is the last time that you're ever gonna hear from me
Sure I've felt worse but this one really got to me
And I thought about you all the time, all the time
You never thought about me anytime
I never thought that it would last but now I hope you can see
Yesterday's worries are almost over
Yesterday's worries are over your shoulder
