House Tornado

Colder

 They took a picture
And from this cold ligtning living me through
So I feel like an alarm clock
Fire came from my mouth is pushing me around
And I'm not loving I'm not hating
I'm not creating
I'm losing my friends and my young dreams
That was vicious air spilled in my face out of love
and out of love

Keep walking
If I did the same thing 500 times could you see it in the dark ?
I trust the weather
I try to make the bodies give me strength
Do we see them in the yard?
Who cares if they're rolling in bed?
There's only darkness upstairs
Does love sit cold 'till you put it somewhere
Do objects spit it at your heart?
I don't see that anymore
I'm colder and colder and colder

Mexican Women

 Leave home blood becomes a foreign substance
And see it as you let it dry
I forgive my nature or I'll be my saint
I can always feel you in heaven
Living in the past I think if I remember that I'll forget this
I jnow you well
Kill the sky the sun'll fry us burn the rain we'll die

Stares from the back stairs I tie your tie set tables
I won't run your party you can't run my life
But the waters run deep

Once there was two mexican women
Ran over the hill ripped off their skin and ate it up
Leave the town for the children (lay their skin across the fire)
Leave their rings to their daughters
And fly up

It's raining again come home it's raining in his hands
Oh catch it be brave grow you make me cry understand?
Be safe no worry so

Look what you do you freeze my songs and please come on
Catch me back I can go faster than fast
Catch me go get back a date land a seal too fast
Catch me go get back a date spin a wheel too fast
Help me go get back a date live a day the past

The River

 Lose your war and we can stay out all night
Lose your keys and we can't go home
In a little time in a little gin
We can touch hands again
Lose your head lose your warhead

Wrote a song for a room I left long ago
It was my hole it was my hell
Now the girl that lives there
She's an exotic a drunk Leaves her clothes off
When it rains run to the river

She carry me she run me all the way down
To the floor where it's warm
And dirty like a river
Dirty like a river
My hole hell

Carry me no run me
All the way down to the river

All I want is to be worthy of my
Hands but she's got plans
Dirty like a river
(You can't) run me down
Lose it lose your war

Juno

 I can't play
When he wakes up she said
He can't play
When he thinks I'm growing up

That song juno they did in the street
So many places to go and not one for me
Said the she

If they were pretty it'd be okay to say
But that day only
When she wore dresses she felt born

That song juno say the words if you have streets
No one for me said the she

That song juno they sung in the street
Her husband of nineteen years
Danced madly at her feet
No I can be balancing

The Marriage Tree

 Like an old man in a dress treat me like a 12 year old man
No more hearts
Don't know what 20 is don't know where the tree stands
Only follow these hands

At midnight I reach for the blind
Toward your head but don't touch it
I'll wish I had but when I'm dead
At midnight I hit your song it sings again
Don't know what age is don't know where the tree stands
I only follow these hands

I coudn't make you crazy if I tried
We've been swinging around the tree
For how long now?
Maybe she wants to be cared for
Stay home a month here a month there
Maybe take to their open roads
Maybe take to their open roads
Maybe take to their open roads
At the marriage tree

Run Letter
So many tears I'm shaking out squeezing them out and bend it
The way things work together if I write this letter you can bend it
Please hope can I give hope the sky won't fall? just look
If I mail this letter you can send it back to me
If you can dance if you can live I love you

Knocked me on the head and send me spinning
It was a blast I can't remember the last time
Stand between two poles and hold your arms up
I'll kick me over the your head and stock down
Carry him carry him carry him and pray
If I mail this letter you can send it back to me
Just look I love you

It isn't fair hope you can hold your head up
I can pray if you meet my gaze
I can laugh if you bring me home and dry me off
It isn't fair...count your cans and hold them up and count them all

A piece of ground where I can lay my head
Where I can lay a piece of my heart
I don't remember I don't remember if I saw god there or not
Give me home give me all give me what I want
I want a place at the door
I surrender I surrender
My place my goods my day

Saving Grace

 So we drive and we've driven 10,000 miles
In our hometown
Sink back into the driveway
Which is zen the head in the stars
Or the body in the chair?

A saving grace at odds with technology a saving grace

18 with a bottle of water cold jeans and a face of gibraltar
How many trunks of your goods? How many goods do you give away?
I'm spellbound when I can't move I stand in front of you
I'm flipping back the pages of you calendar and your books
And your childhood and your looks

I try to move in your direction against the grain of time
I'm hoping to recollect my thoughts and motions
I pray to science and history like cancer doesn't grow
I worship and forget you bye worship and forget you

A saving grace
And holding on to what you've made
As it drags us by the legs across the living room
Put the children to bed
For a goodnight for tomorrow

Drive

 Drive your car
Through the kitchen cupboard door
Through the winter down ton the floor

Drive your head
To your bathroom tile
Smile 'round the corner and your friends
They wanna play do you wanna play games?

It's alright...square your head your head is square
Go out with me com out

1,2,3...1,2,3 I don't care...
I wanted you to know I didn't care
I always loved your hair

I wanna fight the clouds with your head on a stick
Fight the bush with your water and your leaves
and you leave so...

Fight with me run the grass run the road
The road home home with me in my head
In your heart under your ribs in my mind
Sleep your box I sleep in your mind

I don't care...

Downtown

 She's downtown lies in the streets
Been lying in the sheets
She's gone home lies in the street
Been lying in the bed through her teeth

Stares at his sky going blind going blind
Step on corners pick up puzzles
Eating all the grain
It was just a date in '80 no I can't remember the face
But I can see the still I see his of the and...
I'm a little bored and a little scared I come home
I look up to see all the noise I...

Can't remember now I can't remember now...
She's seeing everyone stares at her
Spreads that love around and leaves
Can't even catch the face don't think you can grab the face
So I left

She's downtown lies in the sheets
Been lying in her sleep to his face
She's gone home lies in the streets
Been lying in the bed through her teeth
Don't have to be so brave

Here he comes here he comes

Giant

 Hold the man up to your hands old hands
Make the man work again
Giant can giant can get high again
Hold again or hurt?
You will walk to the front and be blessed

Make my bones shiver again trust it again
Make my bones work
Giant can I I giant can get high again
I can't hold your head with both hands burned
You will walk to the front and be blessed again

One bed to sweat too scared to
So unsettling
One bed to sweat too scared too tired
One bed to sweat too scared to
So I'm settled in
One bed to sweat too scared to grieve

Giant can giant can look down look down
Too small to look down to
Too small to look down look down
Just one time not to trip
Just once not to trip

Walking In The Dark

 I can't forget a dream you own a question it's a body
You can make me cry you have a right
I can see you live I can't forget you die
You own a question it's a garden
You can you can can where'd you go where'd you
Boxing writhing twist and burrow
Walking in the dark

A hunter runner walking picking up the stick
I had a dream I had a dream
Rub the peers away they don't invade me
I just turned 35
A round bottomed beaker
I could glow I could glow and swell
I could well grow turn black turn back
Ride and forget

My ghost of seasons past asked this bedroom what to say
It said stay I have to sleep tangled in my family's hair
Build a house of sticks and grow the grass and build a mask
Pull the grapes turn black turn back
I can't say it 'till you grow a face

Walking in the dark...
