Gone As It Is
02:34

they told you "we're not gonna die"
keep your head on the pillow and not in the markets of death that wait for us out there
you said that I needed to cry and movies can't move me and real life is chewing you up
but gone as it is I feel alarmed, feel aligned
you said that I needed a life
my posters are peeling and real life is feeling the burn
and buildings are up in the sky
from new york toronto feels like an hour to fly
but gone as it is i feel lost, feel alive

Never Heard Your Band

the singer with raccoon eyes giving you the green light and telling you it's alright
i've had enough
the colour of the beer sign is giving me a real high i gotta get the scene right cuz i've had enough
and the boys on the stage will come off and they'll say "I've never heard your band. I've got tickets in my hand but I've never heard your band
the colour of the midnight keeping me so uptight sick of being under the light i've had enough

from the morning and the weather

some people say who what why how and hey
some people say i'm getting better
to the bartender money from my pockets
i got a pair of lips to lather
to the store with a love for the waiting now
getting sick of how we gather
some people say i'd love you anyway
some people say you're like december
some people say who what why how and hey
some people say i wrist slap shit away
some people say i got a temper
some people say who what why how and hey

i get to find you
a runner in the night
i get to find you
following the fine
saddle up line out
where i wanna be
no list "i want"
no list "i wanna be"
i get to find you
with trouble in your mind
i get to find you and the color of your eyes

oh they're counting their pennies and wiling away time under their shoes and all the quiet hours i've remembered with you keeping away
oh i know i was a younger man my mind behind my eyes oh i know
i'll figure it out call it the seasons calling for you and all the quiet hours i've remembered and kept to give to you oh i know i was a younger man my mind behind my eyes oh i know i was younger man my eyes looking to light so softly old me will say softly "merry christmas"

Only Laughter
01:59
|
|||
anytime is right to trip thru ladder rungs and halls
this time at night slips like dragonballs in river mouths
but this time (ha ha) sounds like laughter to me
and i beat the word around
we all feel like
we gotta a list that rules our lives
sound it out
it sounds like saturdays

Billions

no no no no your boat's an illusion
nothing you want could improve them
nothing you own nothing now
go go go go away from the numbers
that keep you in rent keep you under the weight of the crowd
a race for the times out at the dump feeling tired
and nothing you and me found could we admire
well i mostly keep it a secret you owe me capable love and I know me
(I) follow the dimes with my eyes
and oh me don't take my hand I control me knowing that under is only a song and a raise for your life
roll roll roll roll away from the hunger that keeps you in bed keeps you under the gray of the clouds
and soul soul soul by the bowlful I love her but something I did makes me wonder if she's underground
