Got your eyes on me
In the morning brushing teeth
At the afternoon tea
Out at an evening party
When I lay my head to rest
Will you have mercy on me?
...and although it may be said
we should be happy 'coz life ain't that bad
on the pulling side of the trigger
only "x"s on the ground
can you pass the other joystick baby?
We'll send lazer guided postcards saying
"greetings, welcome to our politic"
bomb it baby
bomb it baby
how can we smile but what is left if we don't?
only "x"s on the ground
can you pass the other joystick baby?
We'll send lazer guided postcards saying
"greetings, welcome to our politic"

Cool as the Color

I went along and saw you at Riverside
Singing Amazing Grace with the evening tide
You said, "This life is a race"
and then you cried
and you wondered to me where you'll be next time
and we made our peace, and we had life
and we prayed for grace when we died
cool as the color of the sea
cool as the color of the sea
Yeah, I'm an innocent man but they got me
Up on the gallows but for the wrong sin
for the wrong sin
It only would've mattered if I was getting away
It only would've mattered if I had someplace else to be
Yeah - my home is the sea
But I'm stuck here with me
Yeah - my home is the sea
But I'm stuck here with me

We woke one day to the sound of the sirens; found
it wasn't what we did but what we didn't; wound
us up so life was tight, we didn't have to reach
to the flying cars and the Amorites
The cavemen looked ahead said we got it all
sophisticated but really have seen it wrong
the wheel, the internet of prehistoric man
pretty good, but fire was right around the bend
We took the bend around to the river's end
we made some stuff and the stuff parts starting chugging
The clouds were thick so much we couldn't breathe
but it smelled so sweet we couldn't up and leave
so we knew if we just sucked it in
the cavemen here would likely, most surely win
And we would dash and we would feel the break
but that's just the risk, the risk we had to take
the cavemen looked ahead and the Amorites
To the flying cars, we didn't get it right
they didn't get it right

Up up and away
The parchment is in the sky
Beetlebug backpack away
From really knowing how to fly
And the wind's whipping south
down in death's corridor
Where it's always the brick, where it's always the brick
Where it's always unsure
Oh -- what resolution?
When the ice hits the walk
you find the time to slow down
And the smoke, it pours out
of the Fifth Street Towers
We're looking for the fire
We're looking for the fire
But there's never a fire
no there's never a fire

Ode to Portland's Finest

Neighbor lady next door
Says, “hey that’s no shocker
Well, you know those punk rockers”
It was a blast of cold
In the heart of gold
It took too long for anyone to understand
Ooh, ooh, etc
Trumped out in the card game
The sky seemed darker that day
They just had to stick the note to
Your back, didn’t they?

It'll Be Alright
02:43

If I base all of my light
On the sun which you create
It’s a wasted sight
And if I choose to divide
Rather than add or multiply
It’ll be alright
You haven’t got a clue what is coming to you
Your excuse is wearing thin
It doesn’t make, doesn’t make me grin
The way it once did
So fare thee well when I say goodbye
Give it time, it’ll be alright
It’ll be alright
You haven’t got a clue what is coming to you

Danger, Danger

This is a warning
The siren is sounding
But this attack is the voice that’s in your head
That’s what the doctor said
Doctor Robert is calling
But nobody’s answering
He’s out tonight on another business call
A g-g-g-g-go
Hey watch out
Watch out now
I just wanted to say
Is it too late to say?
She’s a femme fetale, a killer queen
You know just what I mean
So keep your head up
Lest you take a shot to
Where you gonna go when the papers say
Have a wonderful day
The car goes rolling
And nobody’s knowing
But you better have a plan in line for the day
It all blows away
Hey watch out

I saw you on your planet
You weren’t making any sense to me
And so I wandered up
Looked you in the eyes and I could plainly see
Hey Mr. Astroplane
Could you tell me where you are tonight?
You just stared at me
Look through me and nothing ‘bout your flight
Is that what it takes to be free?
Ooh – you’re in good company
Well Mr. Astroplane
How would you like to see the other side?
You say not tonight
‘Coz your flying higher than you thought you’d ever fly

Hey you'd think I'd have something to say (doo-wah)
But I won't be saying much of anything (doo-wah)
Just between me and you
I never seem to do what I should do (doo-wah)
If I could just open up my mouth
Say the words, make you twist and shout
Clean it up, we'll start all over again
Hey, you'd think I'd oppose what you do (doo-wah)
Well you'd be right but I'm telling you (doo-wah)
Just between me and you
I never seem to do what I should do (doo-wah)
If I could just open up my mouth
Say the words, make you twist and shout
Clean it up, we'll start all over again

Wax on Hats

Do you like to fly?
Do you like to fly?
How high?
How high do you like to fly?
Please make a note of your wings of wax
Coz they’re dripping on our hats
Splatting on our grounded hats

Mystery
03:41

You are the sun, you’re my evening star
A simple pleasure, a crescent moon to divide the dark
You seal the pavement, fix my walls when I am broken
Completely break me from my falls
The mystery of your mind
Will keep me for all time
The beauty of our love is what I know
I know you will be here when I get home
The gentle swell of your softly taken breath when I’m beside you
Keeps me with a steadfast rest
Amazingly I would not care at all if we were not to move
I’d just sit and take you in
The mystery of your mind
Will keep me for all time
The beauty of our love is what I know
I know you will be here when I get home

Space of Waste

Today, I cut myself on a tree
I climbed to catch a glimpse, to see
People gathered, but not around me
Oh I bled, Oh my head
The cut on … the cut on made me forget
The basement … the basement made me forget
What a wreck, it grew out of human control
The data bank spit & gargled and gave up its soul
The man said follow, but I wasn't sure
Oh He said, He said
The basement … the basement made me forget
The mirror … the mirror made me forget
The wasting … the wasting made me forget
The clouds rolled down and pasted the sea
Darkness rolled in but it wasn't meant for me
I heard he was cut on a tree
Oh He bled, Oh my head
The cut on … the cut on made me forget
The basement … the basement made me forget
The cravings … the cravings made me forget
The mirror … the mirror made me forget
The wasting … the wasting made me forget
