Clowns at the Carnival
01:40
|
|||
|
You and me got caught up
In things we were trying to avoid
We took the hard road
We hate the clowns at the carnival
|

Game Show
02:02
|
|||
|
There’s a million stars and then there’s you
Add a million more before it’s through
We’re overwrought, they’re underused
A gap in time and then you choose the door
Drive home a big black car from Monty Hall
|

Pit Boss Superstar
03:22
|
|||
|
I stare into a million things to do
I’m floating off in an air balloon
You wrapped me up in a paper cup
And rolled me over till I’d had enough – and fallen through
You went so far on a fallen star
I saw you standing in the airport bar
But number two proclaims the news
It’s new champion rules – Pit Boss and you

Fourteen Hour Days
02:31
|
|||
|
I shoot fourteen-hour days
Between the fall
I do all things pass/fail
How do we say no?
When you wake up from a dream
To find out you’re alone
You will surely see just how you went wrong
|
||||
5. |
Your Design
03:29
|
|||
|
For the first shot in the know
Or the direction of your flow
Goddess of purple martin skies
And the garage in your design
In your design
Come and flush it out
|
||||

Machine
02:26
|
|||
|
9-O degrees, you were on my head
A scene, in the instant of my disbelief
I was dead, you laid down instead, to dream
It’s the only place you’ll concede
That the truest need is found in my machine
We knew so well that you would kiss and tell
What you want and what you need’s right over there
Stand over me, rule this world again, appeased
It’s the only place where I can see
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
If all of my skies were glue, I’d leave
Under the sun, float into none, proud as you please
Take the first train outta here, make sure it’s free
Turn it around, go upside down, a hundred eighty degrees
And I never tell you
If we turn it around, go upside down
How does it feel?

This Colt Is Blue
02:07
|
|||
|
A hundred million miles
Isn’t far enough for me
Away from you
I’ll never die, here’s why
Foresaking all you do
This much is true
Tonight we ride
We try so hard for you
Your mind well inside the rules
Hitting it in stride
Is what I’ll do
This colt is blue
He runs for miles and miles
Straight over you
These reins are true
These words are pointed lies
|
||||
9. |
This Other You
03:54
|
|||
|
The captive raises his left eye
The hidden secret’s your supply
The men went down and they followed you
A daring rescue
Pass up the loot
Forget you knew
This other you
Prepare to fly, she said to you
The days you knew
|
||||
10. |
Famous Satellite
02:11
|
|||
|
It’s a parade
Like your father says
In ways you rearrange
And become misled
Explain why you try to stay
Revert to your famous satellite
It’s like a wave
Rolling back your head to strain
All that’s contained
In the thunderheads
Around the way on a holiday
And your famous satellite
There’ll be days you try to contemplate
Just the smallest thing
Such a hollow way to stay occupied
|
||||
11. |
Infrared
05:01
|
|||
|
In your final days
Your eloquence remains
Bad manners all contained
It’s true, you’re doing everything you wanted to
Old habits hard to break
And waste your life away
Sad genius on the stage
With you, it’s new
Rolling through the grass and skipping school
It’s what you’ll do to keep me hanging by a thread
Wondering instead if you consult them too
Walking hand in hand with you
It’s what you’ll do that keeps me hanging by a thread
Looking infrared into a lens that’s glued to a fool
Strolling through the park with you
It’s true you’re searching for the past in swimming pools
