Charm

Shepherd the rage inside you
Savor the ache that's always there
Slaver and thane despise you
Savior of all thats good and fair
I’m gonna call that charm
I’m gonna call that charm
You carry the chains that bind you
You dove in the lake that’s deep and cold
Horrible things will find you
But you are the one who swam on bold
I’m gonna call that charm
I’m gonna call that charm
You forfeited all belongings
Left them to feed and clothe the poor
Anything greed could cling to
You left it to bleed on its own sword
I’m gonna call that charm
I’m gonna call that charm
Effigies burn in protest
As fantasies failed to make us proud
Love is what keeps you moving
Love is what makes a lost person found
I’m gonna call that charm
I’m gonna call that charm
You're crossing state lines
Sometimes at a crawl
Trying to do right
You’re only one person after all
I’m gonna call that charm
I’m gonna call that charm

That's Love
02:29
|
|||
Pearls of rain in an empty bucket
Inch by inch out of oh well fuck it
Rippled rings of serotonin
Fill the well you were all alone in
Love softens what had hardened
Love like a mayoral pardon
Love what a goddam bargain
I never understood that ‘til now
Inhale float and the moon gets closer
Open up your heart to closure
Sphere and sky align in oneness
Infinity in abundance
Love is like a soup reheated
Love its and illness treated
Love is exactly what you needed
I never understood that ‘til now
Fifty Nifty U S A I
Some sweep left and some slide right
High-strung tin cans talk to rockets
Beam your failure to our pockets
Love exists beyond whats Irate
Love its the string that vibrates
Love the choir’s heard this one
But I never understood that ‘til now
I’ll probably forget it tomorrow

The Little Things
02:21
|

She’s gotta deal with them all day long
They made her feel like she don’t belong
They woke her from her inner calm the little things
They irked and bent her late at night
Stars immured by traffic lights
No one cares how hard she tried the little things
Underneath an overpass
Her sleeping bag’s in the dirt and grass
She would have stayed if you had asked the little things
Tomorrow’s wet with holy dew
The caul we all were born into
Pungent with the grace she dew the little things
the little things
She held on through stormy weather
Knew you’d find her out there again
You’re the poet
You’re the victim
You’re the immigrant
Don’t forget you’re the apple of her eye
Alone on a bench in people’s park
The taste of fog and eucalyptus bark
The warmth of fire when it gets dark - the little things
All she sees is someone who
likes rain and dogwood freshly bloomed
she weeps to know the storm in you - the little things
the little things
the little things

Open the Curtain
04:06
|

Open the curtain a brand new day is started
Did you deserve it? How soon will it pass?
Pulled out of a day dream like a rabbit from a hat
Did you desert somebody now alone at last?
Start living like you love somebody
You’re lost at sea worrying about your past
Your Jeckyll is burnt out
And your Hyde isn’t fun anymore
Egress is easy yeah but
Who is your submission for?
Start living like you love somebody
You’re lost at sea searching for a port
How can you live like denial’s alright?
There’s a clear hesitation
I’m on to ya, right behind the camera
You don’t have any secrets
And I know you don’t have places to be
We’ve all been waiting
for you to set the inner peasant free
Start living like you love somebody
Don’t freak out when you’re lost out at sea

High in the Country
04:37

Should have been a lawman dominate hand with a radical creed
Should have punched clocks on the piers and the docks making concrete
I've seen ships in San Francisco with their ivory sails soar
I could've gotten used to life at sea - picture me
Could have been a doctor staying in a mansion rich as I'd be
Would've had a fast car young blond girlfriend all for free
I'd like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now
He would feel that he was losing touch - I lost too much
High in the Country
Where the strong wind blew
High in the Country
Where I dream of you every afternoon
So, down with the devils and down with the saints
I'm laying on thick fresh coats of paint
Take it all back take it all back jack
She never loved a damn thing and never lost face
I would die a thousand deaths to end up in your loving arms
Every chance I had I threw away - I spent every day
High in the Country
Where a strong wind blew
High in the Country
Where I dream of you every afternoon
High in the Country
Where the wrong bird flew
High in the Country
Where I dream of you every afternoon

Tenure

Crawl out from under covers
there’s a rogue wave coming
All those precious kids
grew up faced with something
Shelter from the storm is all we’re asking for
But there’s a keycode to the kingdom
and we weren’t informed
Our horoscopes said we needed long vacations
From whip cracking cackles of annunciation that
Somewhere there’s a savior that we don’t deserve
Is he writing hallelujahs off of tax returns?
We’ve been enamored by the neon tassels
Hangin off the tits of corporate assholes
I can’t keep on living this way tethered to my phone
Its a short trip from the womb to the grave
What’d you spend it on
You try to fold your hands in shyness and
talk to a human being
I just want to know where you see yourself in ten years
I just want to know if the centaur’s home
I’m logging online when I feel alone
To consummate my prayers and my will to starve
By eating my lunch in the courtyard
It was one ripe banana and an english muffin
Every verb is a nail pried out of your coffin
I can’t keep on living this way
Tethered to my phone
It’s a short trip from the womb to the grave
What’d you spend it on
You try to fold your hands in shyness and
Talk to a human being
I just want to know where you see yourself in ten years
Tenure

Miles away form the floor below him
Far above the people eating all their vitamins
The kids seem to be just fine
Standing in the golden light of the marquees
Showered in confetti
promises fallen from a sea of dancers
I’m hanging up the party line
I’m hanging up the party line
You’ve been out of luck as an entertainer
You finally hit the bottom ands its hard to see clear
You barely gotta work at all
You spend your cash at shopping malls and the grocery
We’re sending out a message from a friendly island
To all who are marooned or lost or frightened
We’re hanging up the party line
We’re hanging up the party line
He spent a lot of money for your eyes and time
We’re hanging up the party line
He’s favored with defenders of positions fetal
And he tossed a golden apple to the pretty people
All he really knows about life
can be purchased at the checkout line in the market
I don’t understand it
But I bet he’d see us drowning in a sea of answers
We’re hanging up the party line
We’re hanging up the party line
Spent a lot of money on his big red ties
We’re hanging up the party line
Spent a lot of money on the jet he flies
We’re hanging up the party line
Could it be everything that you know
About love circumstance in a waking dream
About saying yes
I’m hanging up the party line
I’m hanging up the party line

Love Takes Time
03:34
|
|||
You don’t have to worry
You don’t have to rush
You don’t have too work to hard
or think too much
Lonesome days will hang above you
And color the world unkind
Just remember that it’s alright
That love takes time
Don’t ruffle your feathers when the milk gets spilled
Just take a deep breath it ain’t no big deal
You’re off chasing sunsets and leaving new dawns behind
Find your peace of mind in that love takes time
(Do -wahh)
Through momentary failures and crossing all the lines
Mama bird’ll start shaking the branches to see if you can fly
When the fruit is ripe and heavy shining on the vine
Find your peace of mind in that love takes time

Other Party's Expense
02:15
|

Self invest and assess the mess
if some fucker isn’t showing respect
He’s living easy on a pleasure cruise
and he doesn’t give a shit who’s next
Like a sickle through a golden heap
you gotta seperate earth and fire
You’ve been reduced to a fantasy
Don’t let him stand you up he’s a cheater and a liar
You’ve gotta vet what a dude protects
even at the other party’s expense
Stop wasting time trying to play coquette
with sociopathic pricks
Sucking life from everyone he meets
hes a leech in a swimming pool
Mother Mary’s in a shallow sleep
it’s time to take it back and play him for the fool
Like a sickle through a golden heap
you gotta seperate earth and fire
You’ve been reduced to a fantasy
Don’t be giving all your energy when you’ve had enough
he’s a cheater and a liar

All Out of Roses
02:41
|

When we’re all out of roses
Water sun and sky
Fresh out of money
rosary beads and wine
When we’re all out of moonbeams
And mountains to climb
When we’ve seen every rainbow
you think love will get us by?
We all know that the good times
Won’t last forever
We all know that everything erodes to dust
When all at once our voices soften
Hardship breeds and hopes forgotten
Will there still be a smile inside to keep you warm
When we’re all out of mercy
ambition luck and pride
Petty fights and champagne
you think love will get us by?
We all know that the good times
Won’t last forever
We all know that everything erodes to dust
When all at once our voices soften
Hardship breeds and hopes forgotten
Will there still be a smile inside to keep you warm
When we’re all out of roses
and things we’d like to try
Fresh out of rainbows
you think love will get us by ?
You think love will get us by?

You waited ‘til it bothered you
For night to proceed day
You held on close and felt renewed
It blew away
It was just a borrowed moment in the sun
It made you feel like angels do
Floating around the sky
Through humid summer wind you flew
It passed you by
Like icarus in waxy flame
Triumphant and scared
You heard the valley call your name
Whose cross to bare
It was just a borrowed moment in the sun
When a candle’s twice as bright
It burns out twice as fast
When shit is fire realized
Does it ever last?
It was just a borrowed moment in the sun
