POCKET OF SEAS every note that you carry, like a pocket of sea rivers and mountains run through melodies when you talk to me, i mute the tv cause what's on don't matter, you're the special to me had a vision of you in your evening gown dancing in the kitchen while the sun went down then the dog starts barking, and i yell shut up and turn it up louder, cause this is our song dance lalapalooza, don't forget what you've got i know that i couldn't have, believe me i tried we left time burning in a pot on the stove, and forgot all about it while it burnt a hole

Jericho 04:34
JERICHO you had the greatest disappearing act since the carnival left town, but i don't even need to see you though, i already know how it goes stood up in front of a crowd, fell down like jericho but all you wanted was a one trick pony to jump through hoops, it's all for you was i the sideshow to your magic show? i already know, i already know stood up in front of a crowd, fell down like jericho i found out that it wasn't real i'm not gonna stay for the second act when i get up to leave and pass you by put away your teeth, don't smile i'll pretend i don't see you, walk on by you a metal belly trick with rings of fire explode, you the fourth of july sparkle up there in front of our eyes burn out across the sky put the light up on your disguise stood up in front of a crowd, fell down like jericho

TERMINAL LOVE good times got away, stay a little longer it's not a dream, i won't wake up when the morning calls, and a bluebird falls landing on our window frame are those tears in your eyes, little bird? or is it rain? ... falling i waited for the train at union station holding out for something, thinking maybe you'd make it a terminal love, i'm dumb out of of patience i need a window seat when i'm passing you by looking out the window, waving goodbye one last look at the rain on yr face from yr eyes ... falling one wrong step multiplies picking up speed, look at your eyes, ... falling ... ... falling ... ... ... ... falling

Atlas 02:23
ATLAS george, it's yr birthday tomorrow part your hair, wear a long jacket walk out to harmony, wave at the traffic you've got your medicine, the bluebells are flowering it's all possibilities waiting to happen i know the world on yr shoulder like atlas is bringing you down but you should stay around george, there could be a funeral tomorrow you never know when they'll close the chapter so write your story, say sorry to matthew you've got to dig to bury those hatchets cause he's got a son on the way, it's just before day i know the world on yr shoulder like atlas is bringing you down but you should stay around george, don't care if the world stares there is malice in their eye sockets, and rocks in their pockets weighing them down, they are dragging you down and nothing is certain but you should stay around

ON THE WAY TO KINGDOM COME on the way to kingdom come more & more i comprehend he knows where i’m coming from and will hold me thru the end i can hear the summer bugs buzzing singing “time’s the revelator” busy people making noise like an old refrigerator should i get up to join them? heavy worries on my mind everything is timber burn my name in the fire it hurts me, it does but my love burns brighter

Funeral 03:33
FUNERAL you put the “fun” in funeral the “i” in idaho you light it up, push down the clutch you’ve got away with words you left me with a lot to think about as you’re heading out the door my better ways, packed up the bags and got away with the birds (i fell down on yr birthday, i won’t get back up til may) you put the “fun” in funeral fill me up with gasoline you’ve got the charm to make you a star, or a star on tv you’ve got the looks to make you a star on the cover of a magazine you’ve got eyes that cut like glass like two blue diamond windows you’ve got a smile big as a mile it takes me from there to there you’ve got a lot of soul, it’s all so beautiful you’ve got the spirit on your side
