Strolling down the avenue
The windmills don't obstruct the view
Doing what you wanna do
Come what may
It's okay
Tell me what sustaining means
It's the future that remains to be seen
And I don't want it if it's never clean
Come what may
It's okay
Figure out the time it takes to raise the city streets
Someone do the calculations, show me the receipts
I've never been to Tullamore, but sampled of its dew
But that don't mean I'm never here to take the time for you
Roger and the avalanche
They tore down every olive branch
Now we're dealing with the aftermath
Come what may
It's okay
Strolling down the avenue
The windmills don't obstruct the view
Doing what you wanna do
Come what may
It's okay

It's Not Because of You
03:12
|

I never really wanted anything
But I'll have it anyway
You always had a bit of everything
But it's not because of you
You've got your fingers in a sticky pie
But you never washed your hands beneath the sink
Your west is in the east, I wonder why
But not with all the time could I begin to think
You've got your fingers in a trap because you pushed them much too far
How deep they are
Your repertoire
When every map is fully blown you look below a falling star
They fall how far
It's quite bizarre
You sit right down beside your easy chair
'Cause you got too many options left to sit
But you don't really know what's lurking there
All you know is that you know it's time to quit
I never really wanted anything
But I'll have it anyway if it's to be
You always had a bit of everything
But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me
I never really wanted anything
But I'll have it anyway if it's to be
You always had a bit of everything
But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me
But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me
But it's not because of you it's 'cause of me

I-I-I-I-I

I-I-I-I-I just wanna drink beer
And not go to work
Put on a tie or even
Button my shirt
Today
Today
Today
I have lettuce to shred
Salami and cheese on day-old
Italian bread
Today
Today
Today
Tangled prism
Tangled prism
I-I-I-I-I just wanna drink beer
And not go to work
Put on my wing-tip shoes or
Head into church
Today
Today
Today

Evergreen

You remember going out of town
To see what things are going down
When summer splits its lip
But don't forget your gingko tree
(But don't forget your gingko tree)
Better late than never, I decree
You are the role
You have control
Evergreen
Once inside you make the weather
Any type is often better
You recall the day the sun went down
Too early for the mid-day crowd
But someone can explain
But don't forget your gingko tree
(But don't forget your gingko tree)
Better late than never, I decree
You are the role
You have control
Evergreen
Once inside you make the weather
Any type is often better
You are the role
You have control
Evergreen
Once inside you make the weather
Any type is often better

Sleeplessly you toss and turn around your northern canopy
Among the trees
The moon and stars are bright enough to show the world its panoply
For all to see
A billion miles in between
Our planets bathed aquamarine
A time machine
Out here there is no night or day
No second chance or yesterday
It's fair to say
Don't leave me hanging on
It won't take long
Phenomenon
Midnight or early dawn
They carry on
Automaton
Take the time to gather all the gems and jewels across the sky
It's only time
Organize them one by one before you say your last good-bye
And get in line
A billion years between the two
A miracle upon review
A subtle hue
Out here there is no night or day
No second chance or yesterday
It's fair to say
Don't leave me hanging on
It won't take long
Phenomenon
Midnight or early dawn
They carry on
Automaton
Endlessly we drift apart until we vanish to the deep
And so we meet
Fingers spread, they call your name until you're lulled into a sleep
Without a dream
A billion ages we're apart
From denouement again to start
We know by heart
Out here there is no night or day
No second chance or yesterday
It's fair to say
Don't leave me hanging on
It won't take long
Phenomenon
Midnight or early dawn
They carry on
Automaton

No Way to Describe It
04:15
|

I didn't go to bed early
I didn't wake up late
Stepped out to see it's still dark outside
The sun'll rise in just a minute, guess I'll wait
I know what woke me
Things aren't what they seem
Silently hoping
While I'm asleep, in a dream
A sad dream but I liked it
There's no way to describe it
A sad dream but I liked it
I didn't hear my alarm going off
I saw the sun rising
Cast a shadow on the ground
The light reflected off a memory
I'll take a walk to the lake, look around
I know what woke me
Things aren't what they seem
Silently choking
While I'm asleep, in a dream
A sad dream but I liked it
There's no way to describe it
A sad dream but I liked it
I didn't hear my alarm going off
I didn't hear my alarm going off
I didn't hear my alarm going off
I didn't hear my alarm going off
I didn't hear my alarm going off
I didn't hear my alarm going off

Seasons of the Moon
02:49

Sunday after Easter
I forget the proper name
Lights were on the center
I was slightly out of frame
Right there on the floor
You could barely hear at all
Prisoner of war
Standard protocol
After Thomas Sunday
And I'm laying on the couch
Laying's good for sitting
Layers never even slouch
Pitch-dark living room
It'll all be over soon
Author's nom de plume
Seasons of the moon
Been about a month now
But I didn't really count
Not too many memories
But too many to discount
Right there on the floor
You could barely hear at all
Prisoner of war
Standard protocol
Pitch-dark living room
It'll all be over soon
Author's nom de plume
Seasons of the moon

But Will It Go?
03:09
|

Once again your only friend
Has left his headlights blinding
Fruitlessly he turns the key
And keeps the engine grinding
But will it go?
We never know
Your father is a cockatrice
He sees you're never flying
Your mother wants a renaissance
And heaven knows you're trying
But will it go?
We never know
The scholars add the ampersand for
Clerical convenience
The equals sign is genuine
Numerical agreements

Michelangelo
03:57
|

Woke up this morning feeling like a man who fell out a window and landed on a trampoline
Gotta thank the one who had something special that let him have the foresight to reckon with the things unseen
Let's blow every number that comes up scrolling past for the people watching drawings on the TV screen
No matter how many times the lightning strikes it doesn't change the fact that you're dealing with the in-between
Someday I've got to go
I'll never know
Michelangelo
That day I'll hitch a ride
Into the sky
The day I die
Someday I've got to go
I'll never know
Michelangelo
That day I'll hitch a ride
Into the sky
The day I die
10:30, I'm counting every blessing that the world for unknown reasons doth bestow upon this mortal soul
Try to take a third for granted 'cause it never makes a difference when you only motivation's just some rock 'n' roll
When "with it's" not important anymore so you're wearing just an Oxford with a subtly floral tone
Learn to close your and listen to the sounds around the window, imitate them, now you're one with the orioles
Someday I've got to go
I'll never know
Michelangelo
That day I'll hitch a ride
Into the sky
The day I die
Someday I've got to go
I'll never know
Michelangelo
That day I'll hitch a ride
Into the sky
The day I die
Someday I've got to go
I'll never know
Michelangelo
That day I'll hitch a ride
Into the sky
The day I die

Wishing Well
04:14

Throw a nickel in the wishing well
Hear the echo as it falls forever deep
Brick and mortar, bones and fontanelle
It's the drone that overtones could put sleep
Hear the birds that never nest at night
Hear what wisdom has to say
What would it say now?
Send a letter for the holiday
Lick the stamp and don't forget the return address
Peas and carrots, broth and caraway
As it lingers, might as well clean up this mess
Hear the birds that never nest at night
Hear what wisdom has to say
What would it say now?
Warm shower to calm you down now
Wash the grime from wheeling
Cape Cod or two-floor townhouse
See how good you're feeling
Hear the birds that never nest at night
Hear what wisdom has to say
What would it say now?
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money on a wishing well
Don't waste your money...
