I can't find a place to finish what I started
And I can't shut up 'cus I can't see being right
If you could say what I should do
I'd fit the bill that's best for you
But wrote by me
I don't come free
And I haven't heard your voice in such a long time
And I'm not sure if I know your voice at all
But I can see you coming around
From my distinctly higher ground
'Round where you were
You're near I'm sure
But from where I stand
You are moving very slowly
And you're looking very lonely, too
Yeah, Cupid's truest son
Chose us to be one
And who am I to disagree
The only one for you is me
I thought my gentillesse
Might sour your distress
But this performance sure is trying
I can't believe we both were lying
Vision of mercy, she
My darling Criseyde
She comes as swiftly as I speak
And she'll be here within the week
Boys have you heard of the body that we've all been fighting for
That's extricated from my mind
And implicated on the wine-stained pearly shore
She seeks, she says
What is heartless
Words I can't guess
Under duress
But that's her, bouteille avec une fleur
Encroaching on all of the dirt I read
What could she need
To let her tongue be freed
But from where I stand
We might be moving separate ways
And that's not the way
No way should be that way at all
I can't begin to hear
How you feel my dear
You're still a ghost, no chain or ball
I didn't need you here at all
I thought my gentleness
Was what was best, I guess
See how prescriptive I could be
To make your perfect plaything me
But this I know
I drew a line in red
Shattering the glass, I said
What keeps me live from dead
Is never black, or white or red
Is blue in sight or is in dread
Is it black or white or red
I'm sorry babe, I've been mislead

10 Cups of Coffee

After 10 cups of coffee (repeated)
After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking
My God, I'm so lonely God, I'm so lonely (repeated)
My God, I'm so lonely
So I open the window
To hear sounds of people
To hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much too?
Did its people want too much?
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I'll be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Nobody
Ooh

Flush
04:05
|
|||
|
We awoke
Arose in dark
With laden bags, we left by lark
To bluster forth
With heavy arm
For through our duty we'll fear no harm
Fear no harm
Laid our load
Upon the grass
Surveilling where our days may pass
Buried earth
Around my spade
My wanderlust is set and laid
Set and laid
I feel it birth
Flush against the Earth
The water's warm
The morning cold
Immerse yourself before you're sold
Ploughing forth
A wide expanse
A clearing for impassioned dance
Embarked us brash
And bitterly
But grown to rosy memory
I feel it birth
Flush against the Earth
The more I pry
The more I pray
This moral glee won't go away
I feel it birth
Flush against the Earth
With water warm
And morning cold
Soak it in before you're sold

By Your Heart

Deepen your dream
Don't let the next day start
Closer than I seem
Keep me by your heart

Houston

Where did I go
Where did I go
Oh
I can't tell you what it means
When you are here I am at ease
I don't blame you when you're gone
For the sadness in my song (repeated)
Yes I hum and haw
About nothing at all
I get lost in fear (repeated)
No thief or act of God
Could take this grin I've got
I know you will be here
I can't tell you what it means
When you are here I am at ease
I don't blame you when you're gone
For the sadness in my song (repeated)
Where did I go
What am I doing
Did I see them play in Houston
Did I see them play in Houston
Did I see them play in Houston (repeated)

Distraction
04:01
|

|
In another direction
I looked, at least I tried
My head's still spinning like it means to keep my mind inside
I was thinking into the distance
And suddenly, I'm there
And the imagery of what I see makes me lighter than air
I'm holding onto hope that I'm adhering to a plan
We were holding onto something, now we're just bracing to land
So brace with me, baby
I'm developing my lines
I'm lining up the table
Your mirroring on mine
All sublimely stable
Like a bishop cloistered tight
I'm living by my rule
Keeping faith I'll play the knight
Before I play the fool

In a party city
