City Lights

City lights in the dead end street
Meet me tonight ‘round two or three
At the end of the tunnel is a TV screen
The evening news are bringing
Oh, how long must I wait right here
Put your hand above the water
And I’ll appear
We all gotta wait
Until you’re just a distant torture
You and I came late
Sitting, wondering in the corner
Where we’ll go next year
Missing signs in a dead end street
Meet me where the river feeds
Missing signs all over the place
Little you, Little me
Oh, how long must I wait right here
Put your hand above the water
And I’ll appear
We all gotta wait
Until you’re just a distant torture
You and I came late
Sitting, wondering in the corner
Where we’ll go next year
We all gotta wait
Until you’re just a distant torture
You and I came late
Sitting, wondering in the corner
Where we’ll go next year
How long must I wait....

Smile Girl
04:52

We’ll sleep all day
Longing to escape
Across the frozen water
We’ll feel no shame
Wanting to derail
And start all over
You see
It’s all getting better
You and I
And the world
Yet I feel kind of lost
Smile girl
It’s always better
When you smile girl
It’s always better in your dreams
You can scream all night
Smile girl
Because the world is getting older
And the things upon your shoulder
Ain’t getting younger now
You see it’s all getting better
You and I and your mother
Close your eyes
When you hug your brother
Don’t you feel?
You are getting close
We’ll sleep all day
Longing to escape
And cross on over
We’ll keep the pain
For the monetary gain
And the new world order
You see it’s all getting better
Not you and I
And the world
And I feel we are getting lost
Smile girl
It’s always better
When you smile girl
It’s always better in your dreams
You can scream all night
Smile girl
It’s always better
When you smile girl
And the things upon your shoulders
Ain’t getting younger now

Man in a Glass
04:32

Always dressed the best
A little delayed
Color
Just for the holiday
All this time
How it goes so fast
My biggest mistake
Hurry up
They’re waiting down the stairs
And all leaving is done
And all leaving is done
When you are here
Kiss me with that mouth
Diffuse this situation
Pixelated sky
For our imagination
Little boy
They’re waiting up the stairs
What have you done
I can see it on your face
And all leaving is done
And all leaving is done
When you are here
What I see is a face
Trace of a man in a glass
One leg in two behind
All the voices come and pass
What I see is a face
Trace of a man in a glass
One leg in two behind
All the voices come and pass
And all leaving is done
And all leaving is done
When you are here
Always dressed the best
A little delayed
Color
Just for the holiday

Used to be a Gypsy
04:35

Sleeping on the moon
Dead beat father George
Laughing
At all these years that are
Passing him by
Learning what to say
Thinking what he’ll be
Sometimes turns
Upside down
Singing with the stars
Fixing up the sky
Hoping
That all this time
Wasn’t wasted on by
Learning what to say
Wearing colored ties
Must have been
Some other man
He knew
He used to be that ol’ boy Gypsy
We used to murder his kind
Now we are signing getting all-tipsy
The whole world is our yard
Dancing on the moon
Fixing up the sky
Hoping
That all this time
Wasn’t wasted on by
Learning what to say
Wearing colored ties
Must have been
Some other man
He knew
He used to be that ol’ boy Gypsy
We used to murder his kind
Now we are signing getting all-tipsy
The whole world is our yard

Leave Before They Come
05:05

Better leave before they come
Before they’re here
The sun’s been beating off
It won’t come near
Better keep your mouth shut
And your heart intact
You know you want to leave
Ain’t that a fact
He tied your hands
Behind your back
And handed you a bluff
You combed your hair
And you’re well aware
You’re just another
Suit hanging out
So I’ll put my face
Against the sky
So that I could hear you
Move around
And my ear inside the whirlwind
And I hear that there you are
Better leave before it’s too late
Before you are done
‘cause every inch’s been taken
Beneath the sun
Go better buy some room
Or make a fence
Recite the rules backwards
It makes no sense
So I’ll put my face
Against the sky
So that I could hear you
Move around
And my ear inside the whirlwind
And I hear that there you are
Better leave before it’s too late
Before you are done
‘cause every inch’s been taken
Beneath the sun
He tied your hands
Behind your back
And handed you a bluff
You combed your hair
And you’re well aware
You’re just another
Suit hanging out
