Sleep Is Fragile 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Go to bed, rest your head Shut your eye! Don't you cry! Suck your thumb, my little one What's done is done, sleep will come And it's alright and you're okay, and you're alright I'm okay and it's alright, and you're alright The day is over much too soon And the moon throws shadows on the wall And the night is thick as snow Well I promise you, I'll take you with me when I go Sing a song, give a yawn Pillow's deep, go to sleep And it's alright and you're okay, and you're alright I'm okay and it's alright, and you're alright The day is over much too soon And the moon throws shadows on the wall And the night is thick as snow Well I promise you, I'll take you with me when I go

Ghosts 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Paper hats and rubber gloves A wooden smile Suffer in the darkest room Beneath a damaged moon All the time you wished it still You wished it still Now you do still It's hope that brings only pain It's faith that gets in the way Leaves you nothing for the days Spent in gardens digging graves There's a joke about a thief Who drinks, who drinks It was funny, now turn it off Sick or sicker swiftly Drift away from shore Now sinking down the endless drown It's hope that brings only pain It's faith that gets in the way Leaves you nothing for the years Chasing monsters out of mirrors

lyrics

Mary Don't Weep Your eyes are bells Ringing in your head Your skin is like water Pour yourself Through my hands Spilling onto the floor And I'm a boat I'll never know Why you did this Boredom or repose It's only the movie That plays in my mind So fucking kind It's all over Mary don't weep The bed's alive and Your pillow's soaked The heat makes you shiver Put this on It's frayed like you The man on the wall Is smiling too I'll never know Why you did this Boredom or repose It's only a movie that Plays in my mind So fucking kind It's all over Mary don't weep

Keep Driving 03:28
lyrics
buy track
It happened close to here Not so long ago He had driven in from nowhere She had nowhere to go On the highway's shoulder The axle having snapped A winter storm was raging The two of them were trapped Keep driving In the darkened car Beneath a blanket of snow Making love To the radio Dress hung over The steering wheel Murdered by Her sex appeal She woke up on the floorboards His body had grown stiff She flagged down a trucker By blowing him a kiss Keep driving

Sara 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Did you take your ghosts to bed Or did you take your pill? The doctor's not waiting, he's now operating Deep inside you still The world is old and this song is old The sorrow has only begun The story is old and you're growing old The night is young Your mother and your lover too Are calling you to come I wonder will you stay with me or Sara, are you gone? The world is old and this song is old The sorrow has only begun The story is old and you're growing old The night is young

Another Good German 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Woesome me I'm on Dramamine I'm on the pirate ship that Sails across your broken knee On razor blades Cotton balls The waterfalls The funny parades Money maybe makes you sing The old hound dog And his last dollar Lay dreaming underneath The butcher's knife Took his father's bone And his mother's collar And buried them both In the back of his wife Money maybe makes you sing I feel just like that Mexican Riding in the back of an 18-wheeler I'm just like that German Following my Hitler The carpetbagger And his wounded lover Took a train ride out Into the open sea The mermaids drowned While the sharks made love We sat there by the window And listened to the sound

Florida 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Do you hear the doomsday in the night Just like the weather on your lip Florida stripped her clothes She slept outside and froze The wheat fields are glistening on your skin Just when the morning comes to let you in Winter 'round your toes Earth is cold and clean It's just like that doggone dog to be asleep While the room is ransacked by the F.B.I. Nutrition from the wind Courage from a suitcase I awakened with a lobster and a clam Washed the sand off my sleeping face School is on a trip Gasoline and rags I should be in a cellar or a ditch Watching as the landmines start to freak Florida stripped her clothes She bent down on her knee

Redline 04:24
lyrics
buy track
We're running from She go off and play With the doberman Summertime and birdcages She was running hot She was running dry Redline Redline The sunlight rains On children and steeples And rivers of Blue highways Redline Redline Sad to say Never did much fighting Now you're singing like a violin I noticed you were missing Hey honey, that was heavy That was something almost pretty I split when the hour struck I punched the clock I hit the bricks Redline Redline Sad to say Never did much fighting Now you're singing like a violin I noticed you were missing Redline Redline

Many Voices 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Days turn into pasts People into casts Monitor your wrists Give yourself a twist All the work for fear How to get as far Away from here Turn to many voices So the daylight dies Mattresses and knives Sands begin to run Forgive everyone All the work for fear How to get as far Away from here Turn to many voices

Jesus Christ! Got another girl like you She says things that make me smile She's just like you She, more than you Likes sleeping with her mirror and Pictures of the people who have Perfect skin Oh my God! Got another boy like you He says things that make me laugh He's just like you He's cruel Sleeping with his boots on and Listens to his mother who has Ugly skin

Ring 10:13
lyrics

Caught red Unclothed Stripped hard The way they told it It’s colder now that Time has come and gone With this last one Fantasy is undone Mystery will die Like we die I’ll call you Eyes shut, no sound Pasts lost, now found Colder now and Closer than before, before, before I fought the cold But I’ll call you No healer For the unbeliever Let him go Morning never found you Quiet now, barely breathing Won’t hear a sound I’ll call you Laid in lover’s arms Cool, these arms Frail arms Grievous arms With this last one Fantasy is undone Colder now and Closer than before Ice and Snow face Frozen live in time And in space Who’d have thought her Voice would sweeten like a sore? I would disappear from you You run from me So, shoulder fortune Like a childhood toy Then turn around and go Times you lied to me Times I’ve lied to you Shine the light on me Shine the light on me All is open wide Soul knows no deprival Whispers on the wind go on You shall not leave a light on Stolen past the gate Over Cape Girardeau Cape Girardeau
