Killing Smile
05:06
|

I need a little time to think it over
I need a little time to understand
Cause I'm the one who's wrapped around your finger
And you're the one who's trying to shoot me down
Hey hey my oh my
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
Hey hey why oh why
You take me down with your killing smile tonight
Like a man who knows his time is over
Like a man who's sinking in the sand
Cause I'm the one who's wrapped around your finger
And you're the one who's trying to shoot me down
Hey hey my oh my
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
Hey hey why oh why
You take me down with your killing smile tonight
Hey hey my oh my
everywhere I look I see your eyes
Hey hey why oh why
you take me down with your killing smile tonight
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little time to understand
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little time to understand
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little time to understand
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little time to understand
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little time to understand

Wellspring
05:06
|

I went to the wellspring
To take another sip
Behold the vice and see if I
Could pry its rusty grip
They didn't have a crowbar
So I used a little grease
Worked it all night
To derive some inner peace
Return to the wellspring
To check the lost and found
Pick through old belongings
And put them in the ground
The arcades were not open
I didn't have a friend
But an old coat that had been with me
Ever since time began
Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life
We met at the wellspring
To satisfy the proof
Shake it off and amputate
Last vestiges of youth
They didn't have an ashtray
So we used an old tin can
Smoke billowing over conversations
Never gonna end
Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life
A boat capsized immortalized
At the bottom of the ocean
What lies beneath remains unseen
Concealed from the surface
A boat capsized immortalized
At the bottom of the ocean
What lies beneath remains unseen
Concealed from the surface
Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life
Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life

I'll Take The River
04:36
|
|||
Wake just an hour like I know ya alone
Stay in the heat wave for the next place to land
I'll pack the trailer leave the city you loathe behind
Birds flying over our heads think they're heading the same way
I can see it so clear myself
I can see it so clear myself
I'm like a stone flows
You're like the wind
We'll come together
Winter Fall or Spring
You'll light the candle I'll be thinking of you at night
This ain't forever just some time to clear your mind
Let's make a story something for me to write
I'll take the river to be with you sometime
I can see it so clear myself
I can see it so clear myself
I'm like a stone flows
You're like the wind
We'll come together
Winter Fall or Spring
I'm like a stone flows
You're like the wind
We'll come together
Winter Fall or Spring
I'm like a stone flows
You're like the wind
We'll come together
Winter Fall or Spring

I lost the battle of who needs it most
I'm not complaining now
It's just another city
There's nothing here
Where's everybody else
I'm out of touch
I'm out of range
It feels like a solid gale
No other voices here
A sign that says arrived
A plot of land to settle down
I know you're here in every way
I guess you're lucky now
In paradise take me out of here
And I'll run away with you
I'm paralyzed whispering the words
So that you might look somehow
I got you here found a way
So I know you better
And I would like to say
I wanted more than this
A sign that says arrived
A plot of land to settle down
I know you're here in every way
I guess you're lucky now
In paradise take me out of here
And I'll run away with you
I'm paralyzed whispering the words
So that you might look somehow
Untie my hands
I am me
On the riverbed
Runs so free
Are you happy now
Are you happy now

Donkey's Tail
03:50
|
|||
I took a chance spun the wheel
I threw a dime into the pond
expecting nothing
An obelisk raised to the sun
Didn't fall surprised everyone
Except my best friend
I know the donkey's tail may never find a home
Wishes unfulfilled despite all the candles blown
So many parties thrown as you get old
I want you to know you stay on that road
An hourglass blank slate measured every grain
But it kept moving
dripping away from me
Fixate the pillowcase
I filled it up with so many treasures
and stomach aches
They say the donkey's tail may never find a home
Wishes unfulfilled despite all the candles blown
So many parties thrown when you get old
I want you to know you stay on that road
Take your time rest your eyes
Don't let the stopwatch make you compromise
I took a chance spun the wheel
I threw a dime into the pond
expecting nothing
Through a lens up at the sky
For a reason a reason for magic
or just illusions
I know the donkey's tail may never find a home
Wishes unfulfilled despite all the candles blown
So many parties thrown when you get old
I want you to know stay on that road

This Is Our Time
05:02
|

I feel it calling out to me
I feel it burning deep inside in my mind
I feel it calling out to you
I see you coming from the edge of night
I know you got that feeling
Wake up cuz you're not dreaming
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
I wanna tell you it's coming back to me
Hold me close don't let me go
I see the light shining above me love
Hold me close don't let me go
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
I wanna tell you it's coming back to me
I'm hearing it calling
But I keep on falling
As I look in your eyes
Ah be with me tonight
I'll make it alright
This is our time
Hold me close don't let me go
I see the light shining upon us
So hold me close don't let me go
I see the light shining upon us
I'm hearing it calling
But I keep on falling
As I look in your eyes
Ah be with me tonight
I'll make it alright
This is our time
