Oh You Never Know

oh you never know
which way the wind is gonna blow you
oh you never know
which way the rock is gonna roll you
over to the left with open charity in mind
heresy and terrorism back and to the right
oh you never know
when might the ocean overflow you
the warble of their voices is it music to your ears
will they ever tell you if it's love or if it's fear
up there in the apple blossoms waitin' for the fall
the seed of every fruit they arbitrarily have made you swallow
oh you never know
which line the mercury will swell to
oh you never know
which element will overwhelm you
a wheel within a wheel within a field of bullet shells
can you get up into heaven if you always feel like hell
fat and happy chickenhawks are feastin' on the doves
you'd think it'd happen differently if someone up there really loved us
up there in the apple blossoms waitin' for the fall
the reason for the rules they arbitrarily have made you follow
oh you never know
what day the rain is gonna wash it all away

Settle Down Little Girls
01:53
|
|

she tore my heart into
a dozen different pieces
now each of 'em's a niece upon a knee
and every night they beg
to tell 'em better stories
'cause more and more they're growin' bored with me
settle down little girls
don't you know it's not unusual to grieve
when everything you need is far away
settle down little girls
twelve low voices are the only noises left
to resonate the hollow in my chest
maybe I should run
and leave a note behind me
explainin' to my dozen rosy dolls
depend on one another
you're better off without me
you're better off with noone else at all
settle down little girls
don't you know it's not unusual to grieve
when everything you need is far away
settle down little girls
twelve low voices are the only noises left
to resonate the hollow in my chest

Chemical Apple

chemical apple of my eye
you've got a new heart well so do i
the spin of a cap the picture of health
in a plastic container on a medicine shelf
it's robin's egg blue and it's ready to pop
it evened me out now it's droppin' me off
the edge of a cliff the edge of a rusty
razor blade i'll never give up
a little uplifted a little confused
as drunk as a skunk if a skunk could drink booze
but never quite happy no never quite high
you're a son of a bitch and i hope that you die
you'll come to love the color of the counter of a bar
you can't see where you're goin' if you don't know where you are
a barrel of monkeys a premium bull
what in the world are you tryin' to pull
you're tuggin' my strings you jerk me around
like a marionette of a rodeo clown
the puppet show is over
you'll come to love the color of the counter of a bar
you can't see where you're goin' if you don't know where you are
you'll come to love the color of the counter of a bar
you can't see where you're goin' if you don't know where you are

Three Little Words
03:16
|
|
||
|
i still remember how it felt to hear them
i haven't learned yet how to live without them
three little words fallin' from your lips
three little words i'm gonna sorely miss
being told like i used to
when you didn't make excuses
why you never say you love me anymore
l for the loser that you think i am
o for the obstacle i represent
v for the vanity of self-importance
e for the rush of chemical endorphins
the way that they used to
when you didn't make excuses
why you never say you love me anymore
i want you like i used to
when you didn't make excuses
why you never say you love me anymore
i love you like i used to
when you didn't make excuses
why you never tell me those three little words

Library Fires
02:37
|
|

library fires gonna burn down the words on the pages
naturally they're gonna leave you alone in the flames
too much attention being paid to the worst of the blazes
cover your faces children cover your ears
with smoke and with mirrors
their lessons will lead you astray
pariah
that fire in your eyes is gonna blind you
the ashes pilin' up a story high they'll never find you
library fires gonna glow on the eastern horizon
cover your eyes and endure it in silence
you've wasted your life but
you don't have the spine to escape
the violence
that fire in your eyes is gonna blind you
the ashes pilin' up a story high they'll never find you
blue and violet that fire in your eyes is gonna blind you
grey on violet the color of the sky you leave behind you

close the windows
it's gonna rain
it's gonna rain
whispered rhythms
you're not afraid
you're not afraid
have you noticed yellow butterflies
all of a sudden in the sunshine
or a rosebed's petals hangin' white
all of a sudden in the sunshine
life is precious
and blood is red
and blood is red
so delicious
in spider webs
in spider webs
have you noticed yellow butterflies
all of a sudden in the sunshine
or a rosebed's petals hangin' white
all of a sudden in the sunshine
poison flows
through their bones
have you noticed yellow butterflies
all of a sudden in the sunshine
or a rosebed's petals hangin' white
all of a sudden in the sunshine
have you noticed yellow butterflies
all of a sudden in the sunshine
or a rosebed's petals hangin' white
all of a sudden in the sunshine

I Fell Awake
02:45
|
|

does it make any sense to be random
does it make any sense to be planned
does it make any sense to be fruitful
and multiplyin' hungry little mouths across the land
and puttin' apples in their pudgy little hands
i fell awake and i dreamed a giant dream
and you were all livin' in it
i fell awake and the universe was teemin'
with delusions of reality
the figments of imaginary minds
i don't know if it does or it doesn't
i don't know if it will or it won't
i don't know if you care how the prickles on the pear
put the bottle of tequila in my coat
but i guess it doesn't matter if you don't
i fell awake and i dreamed a giant dream
and you were all livin' in it
i fell awake and the universe was teemin'
with delusions of reality
the figments of imaginary minds
i fell awake i fell awake into a blizzard
this isn't real this is oblivion
i fell awake and i dreamed a giant dream
and you were all livin' in it
i fell awake and the universe was teemin'
with delusions of reality
the figments of imaginary minds

Negative Space
04:10
|
|
||
|
asleep in the darkness touching your face
following the lines of the negative space
help me to see which of our dreams i'm having
pullin' the sheets over our bodies gathered
limbs intertwined sugary maple branches
i'm blurrin' the curves, mistakin' the shapes
following the lines of the negative space
help me to see
help me to understand it
you're into the river it isn't your fault
the bench where we kissed and the woods where we waltzed
the sky is an eye and it's startin' to rain
but it's warm and it's dry in the negative space

Fat Chance Society
03:07
|
|

there's a drone out there
like a train or a plane or a trumpet
such a little bear
in a minor of keys you're a puppet joinin'
the fat chance society
no luck at all is gonna set you free
you'll never make it if you ever try
to tame the wild in your eyes
you're a grownup now
in the butts and the bottles and coffee grounds
quit actin' like you do
in that manner of speaking seriously to
the fat chance society
no luck at all is gonna set you free
you'll never make it if you ever try
to tame the wild in your eyes
i'm not scared of you
i'm not destined to be
happy lucky old milwaukee
red white blue or seedless orange
open up the door and let me out
fat chance society
no luck at all is gonna set you free
you'll never make it if you ever try
to tame the wild in your eyes
fat chance society
no luck at all is gonna set you free
you'll never make it if you ever try
to tame the wild in your eyes
you're such a little bear
you're so alone up there
you'll never stand a chance

None Of My Business
02:57
|
|
||
|
is it gonna be easier now i don't think so
but what do i ever know
you're always right and tellin' me how you believe so
it's late and i have to go
catch a train the steel of the tracks in your veins
the rot in the ties that bind
teeth for teeth and eyes for eyes
i'm already blind i'm sick and i'm tired
so go ahead and do what you say you feel you have to do
i always felt that what we had was real and love and true
but now i guess it's none of my business what you do with your life
are you gonna be happier now i don't think so
we already tried it once
it didn't work or have you forgotten
i drank 'til i dropped and came out on top
lips to lips you gave me a kiss
together again why are you doing this
nose to nose a powerful moment
the city exploded but now it's all over
so go ahead and do what you say you feel you have to do
i always felt that what we had was real and love and true
but now i guess it's none of my business what you do with your life

What The Hell
03:23
|
|
||
|
is there anybody up there
is there anybody listening
can you hear the bells and whistles
through the muffle of the snow
heavy atmosphere above it
in the muscle of the gravity
a vicious circularity
infecting all of us below
the surface swells
what the hell is going on down here
and why are you ignoring it
well i wouldn't even if i could
and i won't even though i probably fuckin' should
is there anybody out there
are you hiding in the shadows
have you noticed any patterns
in the shooting of the stars
hollow vacuum all around us
in the waning light of lunacy
a lack of opportunity
extincting all of us below
the current swells
what the hell is going on down here
and why are you ignoring it
well i wouldn't even if i could
and i won't even though i probably fuckin' should

the king of santa fe
shines his favorite gun
hung in the window
and burnin' in the sun
flashin' a smile
and turnin' on a dime
your head is his
but the rest of you is mine
why aren't you wearin' my diamond
why aren't you wearin' my diamond
why aren't you wearin' my diamond
why aren't you hearin' the ringing in my ears
new mex new mex new mexico
another rusty shovelful
an appetite the size of mother nature
new mex new mex new mexico
another rounded stomachful
the moon is bigger under open sky
the kink of kings pours his
passion in a grail
singin' along to the
hammering of nails
across the canyon the
echoes bouncin' back
why are you wearin' that
red potato sack
why aren't you wearin' a sundress
why aren't you wearin' a headdress
why aren't you wearin' my presents
why aren't you givin' me headless progeny
new mex new mex new mexico
another rusty shovelful
an appetite the size of mother nature
new mex new mex new mexico
another rounded stomachful
the moon is bigger under open sky

farewell to meat
hello you fish
swimmin' the desert
devils we meet
grantin' the wishes
in our dirty minds
for forty nights and forty days
we won't understand a word you say
you'll never remember how far you went
for the battle of carnival and lent
for the love of christ in a barrel of mead
for the rolling dice and the rosary beads
all the trouble you made and the money you spent
at the battle of carnival and lent
the battle of carnival and lent
the battle of carnival and lent
coins for the poor
limbs for the lame
bury the hatchet
under the floor
intoxicated
on your magic wine
for forty nights and forty days
we won't understand a word you say
you'll never remember how far you went
for the battle of carnival and lent
for the love of christ in a barrel of mead
for the rolling dice and the rosary beads
all the trouble you made and the money you spent
at the battle of carnival and lent
the battle of carnival and lent
the battle of carnival and lent
you're a doll so you dance on a wooden leg to the rattle of the hinges
in a way i don't think it should ever be a battle but it is
for forty nights and forty days
we won't understand a word you say
you'll never remember how far you went
for the battle of carnival and lent
for the love of christ in a barrel of mead
for the rolling dice and the rosary beads
all the trouble you made and the money you spent
at the battle of carnival and lent
the battle of carnival and lent
the battle of carnival and lent

Noose
02:38
|
|

|
not for all of the stars in the sky
could you imagine the weight of the world
tongue tied lickin' the flames when they curl
sunset's whenever i open my eyes
it feels like the noose around my neck is gettin' tighter every day
oh if only you started to cry
captured never to make an escape
twilight kisses you soft on the face
toxic and colorless chemicals shine
it feels like the noose around my neck is gettin' tighter every day
melt back into your element
soft and warm
it's easy to see in the dark now
pretending the rope is your arms
it feels like the noose around my neck is gettin' tighter every day
