Radio Song

Hey, I can't find nothing on the radio

Yo! turn to that station

The world is collapsing

Around our ears

I turned up the radio

But I can't hear it

When I got to the house

And I called you out

I could tell that you had been crying, crying

It's that same sing song on the radio

It makes me sad

I meant to turn it off

To say goodbye

To leave in quiet

that radio song

Hey hey hey

I've everything to show

I've everything to hide

Look into my eyes

Listen

When I got to the show

Yo ho ho

I could tell that you had been crying, crying

It's that same sing song, and the DJ sucks

It makes me sad

I tried to turn it off

To say goodbye my love

That radio song

Hey hey hey

The world is collapsing

Around our ears

I turned up the radio

But I can't hear it

Yeah

I tried to sing along

But damn that radio song

Hey hey hey

I've everything to show

I've everything to hide

Look into my eyes listen to the radio

I turned up the radio

But I can't hear it

No, I can't hear it

Hey hey hey

Check it out

What are you saying

What are you playing

Who are you obeying

day out day in?

Baby baby baby

That stuff is driving me crazy

DJs communicate to the masses

Sex and violent classes

Now our children grow up prisoners

All their lives radio listeners

 

Losing My Religion

Life is bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no I've said too much

I set it up

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper

Of every waking hour I'm

Choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool

Oh no I've said too much

I set it up

Consider this

The hint of the century

Consider this

The slip that brought me

To my knees failed

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around

Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream

That was just a dream

 

Low

Dusk is dawn is day

Where did it go?

I've been laughing

Fast and slow

Moving in a still frame

Howling at the moon

Morning found me laughing

Up and down, down

Low low low

Night suits me fine

and morning suits me fine

I've been so happy

Way up high, high

In between

Down below

Low low low

I skipped the part about love

It seems so silly and low

Low low low

Low low low

I said the morning

It isn't your time

Barefoot naked

I can see your lines

It doesn't bother me

That you are right

Your grass is grassy wet

Your light white is bright

Light white light

I skipped the part about love

It seems so shallow and low

Low low low

Low low low

You and me

We know about time

We know how things go

They come and go

They live and grow

They pass and go

And glow and glow

Up and down

High and low

Low low low

Low low low

I skipped the part about love

It seems so silly and low

I skipped the part about love

It seems so shallow and low

Low low low

Low low low

I like your hands

All full of glory

All full of glory

 

Near Wild Heaven

Whenever we hold each other

We hold each other

There's a feeling that's gone

Something has gone wrong

And I don't know how much longer I can take it

House made of heart break it

Take my head in your hands and shake it

in this near wild heaven

Not near enough.

Living inside

Living inside

Near wild heaven

Whatever it takes I'm giving

It's just a gift I'm given

Try to live inside

Trying to move inside

And I always thought that it would make me smarter

But it's only made me harder

My heart thrown open wide

In this near wild heaven

Not near enough.

Living inside

Living inside

Near wild heaven

I'm holding my hands together

I'm holding my feet together

I'm holding myself together

In this near wild heaven

Not near enough

 

Endgame

(Endgame is an instrumental track)

 

Shiny Happy People

Shiny happy people laughing

Meet me in the crowd

People people

Throw your love around

Love me love me

Take it into town

Happy happy

Put it in the ground

Where the flowers grow

Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing

Everyone around love them, love them

Put it in your hands

Take it take it

There's no time to cry

Happy happy

Put it in your heart

Where tomorrow shines

Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands

Shiny happy people laughing

 

Belong

Her world collapsed early Sunday morning

She got up from the kitchen table

Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio

Those creatures jumped the barricades

And have headed for the sea, sea

Those creatures jumped the barricades

and have headed for the sea

She began to breathe

To breathe at the thought of such freedom

Stood and whispered to her child, belong

She held the child and whispered

With calm, calm; belong

Stood and whispered to her child, belong

She held the child and whispered

With calm, calm; belong

These barricades can only hold for so long

Her world collapsed early Sunday morning

She took the child held tight

Opened the window

A breath, this song, how long

and knew, knew; belong

 

Half A World Away

This could be the saddest dusk

I've ever seen

Turn to a miracle

high alive

My mind is racing

As it always will

My hand is tired my heart aches

I'm half a world away here

my head sworn

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along

And hold it

Go it alone

Hold it along and hold, hold.

This lonely deep sit hollow

I'm half a world

Half the world away

My shoes are gone

My life spent

I had too much to drink

I didn't think

and I I didn't think of you

I guess that's all I needed

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along

And hold it

Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.

Oh this lonely world is wasted

Pathetic eyes high alive

blind to the tide that turns the sea

This storm it came up strong

it shook the trees

And blew away our fear

I couldn't even hear

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along

And hold it

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along

And hold it

Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.

This could be the saddest dusk

I've ever seen

Turn to a miracle

high alive

My mind is racing

As it always will

My hands tired my heart aches

I'm half a world away and go.

 

Texarkana

20,000 miles to an oasis

20,000 years will I burn

20,000 chances I wasted

Waiting for the moment to turn

I would give my life to find it

I would give it all

Catch me if I fall

Walking through the woods I have faced it

Looking for something to learn

30,000 thoughts have replaced it,

Never in my time to return

I would give my life to find it

I would give it all

Catch me if I fall

All alone

Waiting to fall

40,000 stars in the evening

Look at them fall from the sky

40,000 reasons for living

40,000 tears in your eye

I would give my life to find it

I would give it all

Catch me if I fall

 

Country Feedback

This flower is scorched

This film is on

On a maddening loop.

These clothes,

These clothes don't fit us right

I'm to blame

It's all the same

It's all the same

You come to me with a bone in your hand

You come to me with your hair curled tight

You come to me with positions

You come to me with excuses

Ducked out in a row

You wear me out

You wear me out

We've been through fake-a-breakdown

Self hurt

Plastics, collections

Self help, self pain,

EST, psychics, fuck all

I was central

I had control

I lost my head

I need this

I need this

A paper weight, junk garage

Winter rain, a honey pot

Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged.

A hotline, a wanted ad

It's crazy what you could've had

It's crazy what you could've had

It's crazy what you could've had

I need this

I need this

 

Me in Honey

I sat there looking ugly

Looking ugly and mean

I knew what you were saying

You were saying to me

Baby's got some new rules

Baby said she's had it with me

It seems a shame you waste your time on me

It seems a lot to waste your time for me

Left me to love

What it's doing to me

There's a lot of honey in this world

Baby this honey's from me

You've got to do what you do

Do it with me

It seems a shame you waste your time for me

Left me to love

What it's doing to me

Knocked silly

Knock flat

Sideways down

These things they pick you up

and they Turn you around

Say your piece

Say you're sweet for me

It's all the same to share the pain with me

It's all the same. Save the shame for me

Left me to love

What it's doing to me

Baby's got some new rules

Baby says she's had it with me

There's a fly in the honey

And baby's got a baby with me

That's a part

That's a part of me

Left me to love

What it's doing to me

Left me to love

What it's doing to me

What about me?
