Meatgrinder 05:03
lyrics

Welcome to the meat grinder You’re in for the long haul Hop up, up on the conveyor belt And wag that tail I am burning like a fossil whale I surely care when this time comes I want blood And I need it now I tan your hide Tie your pieces to the sky Let the meat drip down And kiss everyone upon the cheek Welcome to the meat grinder I’ve found my next meal I saw you lying in the road So I took you home Headaches and heart attacks They burn like fireflies But I will just make it on Till next July Welcome to the meat grinder You’re in for the long haul Hop up, up on the conveyor belt And wag that tail

Landmine 03:08
lyrics
buy track
“One more Holiday” She screamed to me I got to have my powder I got to have my sea to breathe So hold down all your things And gather up your pain There are accidents lurking in the water And you don’t want to go So you stay “One more Holiday” She screamed And she looked wide-eyed at me I met her halfway on the sidewalk baby And I just walked away We are building a landmine to the sky One that will blow us all real high “One more Holiday” She screamed to me And she looked wide-eyed at me Face buried down in the powder It was all she could see We are sliding along We are drowning all alone We are moving backwards into the sea Right back where we came from Oh, it’s all rain And all you see is not this tame So why don’t you run away? So why don’t you run away?

Monkey Bars 02:40
lyrics
buy track
I can’t be any more sincere Than what I will say In this song Here I’ll sit and wait for you And here is what I will do I will hang on your every word Just like a kid hangs on his monkey bars Your eyes are so very wild But your touch is so soft And I will wait for your call When I pick up the phone Here’s what I’ll do I will hang on your every word Just like a kid hangs on his monkey bars And I can’t be any more sincere Than what I have said in this song

No More 03:29
lyrics

The tendons in my face are falling down And I don’t why Can you pick them back up again? Before the ground explodes And we all win I’m breaking down Breaking down Breaking down again Just lift me up Lift me up Lift me up quick Before the rain Before the storm Batters us down And I don’t think you will Be there Before everything’s gone and you know you’re in and the wind will take your arm I’m burning like a stone on the edge of the pavement and I don’t know what from I think it’s your face, I think it’s your smile, aI think it’s everything in between So let’s go down, let’s go right down Just get rid of all those crocodile tears I said let’s go down, let’s go right down Just get rid of all them crocodile tears Let’s go down, let’s take it all down I don’t want to see no more crocodile tears I don’t want to see no crocodile tears I don’t want to see no crocodile tears I don’t want to go to bed tonight The dreams and the lies I’m scared to die Every day, every way Fill me up and throw me down But I don’t ever want to ever the hit the ground Let’s go caving Let’s go finding Let’s go finding our way Let’s go building Let’s go burning I don’t want to see any more of your crocodile tears

Scrivener 03:07
lyrics
buy track
I wake to an alarm, jump out of bed and slip down the steps again Pour a bowl of cereal, and read my newspaper Grab the keys, lock the door, as the engine turns Burning in traffic is bliss Step into the office and greet my assistant at the door Meet the new hire standing quietly amongst the men Watch how he copies and note how perfect it is An office running smoothly is bliss Later in the day I call my new hire in Hear a subtle rapping on the door Tell him he’s down well and that I respect his work He smiles at me and says he’d prefer to do no more

Final June 03:33
lyrics
buy track
In June, we’ll all be changed In June, we’ll all be the same In June, we’ll all just leap into the world Like fireflies dancing in the night I’ll just glow I just keep on walking But I can’t seem to catch up You sit in your living room On your living room All I see from you is what I hate Come and catch me Now In June, we’ll all be changed In June, we’ll all be the same In June, we’ll all just leap into the world Like fireflies dancing in the night I’ll just glow

Bring Me to the Den 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Cover me in blankets and bathe me in clothes Bring me your sweet self Cause soon my weak eyes will worsen The strain of keen foresight Has wearied them so I can only feel light So please show me to the den Miss Mary my dear, my ears don’t hear good So please show me to the den Sing a melody that I can just hear Sing it for me And strum the strings like falling snow And only then will my eyes close Come through the door And dim the lights Bring your sweet self To my side Cause we can’t afford to waste this night So please show me to the den Bring me to the den And I don’t want to up past ten If I die, I want you here So please show me to the den

Dinner 02:25
lyrics
buy track
Let’s just go burn all our bridges I want to them all to the ground Cause I don’t like lightening No, I don’t like lightening Lift me up before I fall down There’ll be no one to pick up off the ground I said, one more day and I’m gone Just one more day and I’m gone Don’t slice the bread for the plate Don’t set me at the table Because I am coming home late If even at all Cut it now No more words, no more weddings No more tiny grooms, and tidy brides The room’s been spinning for days Days and days And I can’t come down from this perpetual haze I said I don’t want to be left hand The room is spinning and I’m fine So don’t set me at the dinner table Just don’t set me at all

Zoo 03:20
lyrics
buy track
My mind my mind my mind is always on the rail Why don’t we climb out of the house and see what’s at the zoo My god my god my god we’re moving fast Why don’t you let the vodka slide on past your lips Your hand your hand your hand is cradled in mine As we slip on through the turnstiles and head inside again Why don’t we go to the zoo and feed all the animals And watch them run One step one step one step one step inside And you know you’ve arrived as the smell greets your face The tram the tram the tram is winding along Hurry now let’s try and jump up on We’re we’re on we’re riding on the tram By the time I look around you’ve fallen asleep in my arms again Chorus Solo Chorus Wake up wake up my god it’s time to go The tram has stopped and they’re begging us get off The clouds the clouds the clouds are moving in I feel one raindrop and then two more It’s time it’s time it’s time to go Please don’t shoot me with those wild green eyes of yours again

Ghosts 03:55
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been running with the ghosts And all my foes they do not care I’ve been running with the ghosts And all my foes they do not care If I run my feet into the ground My body will not make one more sound Let me go into the night I want to hold a ghost tight I want to hold a ghost tight And I don’t have eyes I want to hold you tight If I disappear Will I ever be saved? Hold me while I fade away, way away Never touch you grey morning I’ve been out with the ghosts Down the familiar roads I am a ghost Make me disappear Make me disappear Make me, make me, make me Make me, make me go Make me, make me go Make me, make me go Cause I am a ghost And I will not stop haunting you Cause I am a ghost And I won’t stop haunting you

Misty Mountain 02:04

Misty mountain climbing Please don’t leave me dry I’ve been battling this mountain I’ve been battling this mountain all my life I don’t want to be I don’t want to be anywhere else Bring me down if you want Cook me a warm meal Nothing’s going to change me mind Even if my body is just a skeleton By the time I arrive I don’t want to be anywhere else I don’t want to be anywhere else
