Our friend takes drugs every day
and she contemplates life when she plays
so hard
upon the piano keys
But the melody just will not stay,
it moves around the pillars
and fades away, like light
just at the end of day
come in, find a place to lay your head
take a moment
no one’s going anywhere
yes, I swear
yes, I swear
yes, I swear
Go on, read the lines out loud,
your voice will have to do it
without the power
the guards keep changing
at every hour
Go on, sing the lines again,
your voice a little louder
at the sound of them
you’re here
but how long has it been?
come in, find a place to lay your head
take a moment
no one’s going anywhere
yes, I swear
yes, I swear
yes, I swear
We would have healed Babylon
but she would not be healed
we would have healed anyone
tell me how you feel?
“I’m a wheel within a wheel.”
come in, find a place to lay your head
take a moment
no one’s going anywhere
yes, I swear
yes, I swear
yes, I swear

Is there something wrong
with your body?
The Temple, not what it was?
you could ask around
you could ask around
ask anybody
See what they’ve learned
It’s one of those things
yes, one of those things
just one of those things
you know
the presentation went badly
no one seemed to know
can your body be a lie?
or is it something more holy
like we were told
It’s one of those things
yes, one of those things
just one of those things
you know
the kids are on their own
the kids are on their own
the kids are on their own
the kids are on their own
It’s one of those things
Is there something wrong
with your body?
Maybe you’ve never been told
sometimes they want to help
but their help is the one thing
that kills you the most
It’s one of those things
yes, one of those things
just one of those things
It’s one of those things
yes, one of those things
just one of those

Fur / Ticker Tape

The last speech that I heard
Didn’t mean a thing,
Not a thing to me
The one who hung the earth
upon the waters
What should I believe?
Should I believe?
The last word that was said
Heavy and dead
a fur on a king
The one who hung the curtain
of the cosmos
What is left to dream?
Is there a dream?
Oh, the headline says it all
“The lowest circle isn’t all that far”
In any story, it’s the hardest part
Oh, the ticker tape speaks to me
“In this world there is misery”
With this world,
let me make my peace
The last song that was played
A serenade
A pretty little thing
The one who tore the curtain
top to bottom
Can you hear the strings?
Can you hear the strings?
The last breath that I have
It has to last
For all of eternity
The one who closed the gates
upon the garden
Open the gates for me!
Open the gates for me!
Oh, the headline says it all
“The lowest circle isn’t all that far”
In any story, it’s the hardest part
Oh, the ticker tape speaks to me
“In this world there is misery”
With this world,
let me make my peace

The albatross is just
what I had in mind
a letter or number or color
will do just fine
when I was young,
I never did think twice
when I was young,
I never did think twice
the necklace will teach you
what this world is like
the necklace will keep us
all in line
The albatross flew around
three times
capturing our hearts and our minds
you made a gesture in plain sight
you made a gesture, started a fight
the necklace will teach you
what this world is like
the necklace will keep us
all in line
The albatross looks asleep
but not alive
write my number down
while there’s still time
before we go to bed, we say goodnight
waking up we say good luck
and then goodbye
the necklace will teach you
what this world is like
the necklace will keep us
all in line
the necklace will teach you
what this world is like
the necklace will keep us
all in line

Woke up in the wilderness
covered my face with gold
the color of tenderness
the color of health, I am told
packed up my bewilderment
tied a knot I know
opened up the furnaces
built for when the trumpet blows
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
there used to be a road right here
there used to be a gate that closed
arm yourself with memories, dear
carve your name into the post
the birds are high up in the air
the sound down in the valley grows
compass isn’t very clear
can’t we take it nice and slow?
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
the Palisades are fine this time of year
we can spend the night out here
around the fountains like before
maybe everything will be alright
maybe I can just touch your side
when the wolves are at the door
(they’re at the door!)
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Come on! Come on! My Lord!
Woke up in the wilderness
covered my face with gold
the color of tenderness
the color of health, I hope
