Turn off the blinkers, can we Move off the road There ain’t a thinker who will Do what they’re told It’s just a tambourine that Kept shaking bright I’m just the fool who thought that It would be alright Sound is electric, baby Please get it right Put up the cymbal stands and Play them in the night I know that no one wants to Trust the life we take I know you like to listen More than you can make I know that music seems to Take away from love But if you’re lonely you won’t Wonder which to think of I know it’s hard to think but We’ll get it right Put up the cymbal stands and Play them in the night Let’s play at 4 a.m. and Get paid in gold Well it’s too bad we all just Do what we’re told I know that music seems to Take away from love That’s how you know exactly What a song is made of Stop using reason, baby Stop being right Put up the cymbal stands and Play them in the night I know I'll miss you every time I go Take down the cymbal stands

You had it You kept it You gave it right to me I took it I use it I live it can't you see Sometimes I need to breathe Other times I need to see Not only what I want But what you need I'm moving I'm leaning How I play the game I'm winning I'm losing To me it's all the same Sometimes I need to dream Other times I need to see Not only what I want But what you need

Deep in my toes A rhythm's coming on My mind fell in a derge But my feet keep dragging on My drive is in reverse But I'm still no fool It's so cold, it's hot It's so heavy that it's cool You don't know what to do You just think I'm a fool You should see how it is But don't rush it On the surface I come off easy But up in the air It's so frigid, breezy What I remember I'll soon forget When I fold I'm taking back my bet You don't know what to do You just think I'm a fool You should see how it is But don't rush it

Sandy 06:21
These neon lights Can roll you round in bright Colored lines You take your sides You hope the stars alight When you die And it’s okay We’ll never separate You’ll find We’ll just age A little every day Each time Well I like To imitate the rain With my voice And all the boys In sweatshirts seem to make So much noise We watched the storm We buttoned up and turned Far apart And as we watch The lightning sweeps them up You said they look like art And it’s okay We’ll never recreate You’ll find We’ll just age A little every day Each time I’m a slim Shadow of the things I do and recall All alone The storm won’t calm your voice Past a crawl An echo on Your naked hand on my Wasted fall You see your life In pointless colored lights When you’re high Make it right The rivers and the sights You can guide And every eye Must some day go out blind On sometime And I try That the star that closed your eye Will be mine And I cry That the star that closed your eye Will be mine And I die That the star that closed your eye Will be mine

You’re my underwater sailboat You can drive where others sink Drawing pictures on the windows To make the mermaids stop and think You can dream of open pictures Staring heavy at your soul When you hug it’s like a prison Life’s too short to let us roll But there’s some things I can’t say in black and white and blue That honey I want you You’re like pictures scarring starlight Starring somewhere far away So much closer than the bar right Next to where I drank today You’re a liquid-copper kettle And the heat can’t get enough You try to empty out the metal So someone else can fill you up But there’s some things I can’t say in black and white and blue That honey I want you You’re an overwrought hydration Liquid falling cross the brain Take the singer to the station Leave the mic out in the rain But there’s some things I can’t say in black and white and blue That honey I want you You’re my so elusive someone Can’t tell who or what or when I could love you now forever Or maybe just for now and then

Mrs. Demise 03:15
Is there a reason why You and I don't fly Together and watch the ground lift off our heads I get to reading you don't like to be read Mrs. Demise Do you breathe with your eyes Visualize You can feel more alive Is there a way to figure how You and I could sound Together and let the beat flow through our legs I get to hearing you don't listen closely Mrs. Demise Do you breathe with your eyes Visualize You can feel more alive

End Of Dawn 04:14
In the mask, We’re lost in the day We ask what’s the page We’re on In the dusk, We hide in the black We duck towards the track We’ve gone Who’s to say That you can’t be the end of dawn That you don’t see the night That you never seem right When you’re on In the mask We run at the shadows Bend back the clothes We wore In the dusk We sleep on the streets And rust from the feats We adore Who’s to say That this isn’t the road we’re on That we live for the night But only have sight Of the dawn Who’s to say You once knew a guy You thought he was yours For sure Who’s to say We’ve all gotta die And we all want to want It more Who’s to say That your love couldn’t wither along But maybe inside you The one who denied you Was wrong In the mask We pretend to believe What you ask when you see We’ve gone In the dusk We had to the east It’s a tusk from the beast We won Who’s to say That this isn’t the way of God That we did what we could While we met who we Couldn’t move on

Her son has moved to Norway and she’s never been The weather there is frightening, she’s been told That's alright, she says, she’ll live through him And for her part, she’ll stay and she’ll grow old Here where the people are afraid of the cold The European came to look at specimens He studies and they’re just like he was told He eats fondue and laughs at all the rest of them But he won’t stay cause he has written gold Here where the people are afraid of the cold Something, baby, isn’t what it means to be Something isn’t quite like it was told They’re afraid of the cold The drunken owl spies another book to read It’s telling him to give up all his soul It isn’t that he doesn’t know just what he needs But only that he lets his conscience fold Here where the people are afraid of the cold And say somebody figured out the problems here Which she tried to solve behind a desk of gold But in a decade she’ll give up, it’s clear There’s nothing she can do cause she’s been sold Here where the people are afraid of the cold Something, baby, isn’t what it means to be Something isn’t quite like it was told They’re afraid of the cold

Over these years, my head has turned on its ears The only sound that I fear is one I can't even hear Kick in the screen Mess up the clean And drill me into my dream Like the junkie said Music's good for your head The time is right Cooking up a pot of my rock and roll stew Come closer let me start feeding you I'm moving on up and I'm taking you down Down to the gritty grimy edge of sound We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll Watch your step, babe it ain't your first Are you sure that you wanna creep over the curb Look both ways, keep your mind on track This hard-boiled engine can't chug through cracks We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll

My light is out, but my mind is on I know where I've been, but where have I gone I've turned inside-out, I've shuttered the fall I left it all right, inclined to hold up the wall I go alone and I never care to care I feel at home underneath the stairs The door is closed, hinged on a whim The window shows what my eyes can fix I'll never know when my mind's made up That's why I go till I don't stop I go alone and I never care to care I feel at home underneath the stairs
