I hold faith
You, you drift in space
Alone
Crossing the big black sky

And a girl could go to rot
Married to an astronaut

But I'm gonna watch and wait
For you to return some day
As you breathe silently on the opposite side
Of the bed
I circle stars you

I use my desk
Penmanship
I hold my hand steady
And make sure that it doesn't slip
'Cause I am here

To document
To get it right
And to bear witness

I drive alone these days
Everybody has gone away
I keep the place warm
Until they return

And yo

Christmas lights hung up outside
Middle of the day
Middle of July
Don't ask me why
'Cause holidays are best that way
In time you please
Hang up lights on ceiling fans
And hang them up on trees

And watch them flicker
Watch them flash
Get used to the fact<

Everybody's got big plans
For you
And everybody's tellin' you
What to do

It's makin' me nervous
It's makin' me nervous too
How 'bout you rely on me
And I'll rely on you

And then we can wait until the
Coast is clear
And then we'll make our
Great esc

Letters in a box
Tied with packing string
Back in the closet
Among the other things I see
I should've thrown them all away.
I waited for you all day
at the station.

And this how the news arrives
A phone call from far away
and my tongue was tied and I saw sta

all you wanted was for all of your friends to circle around where you lay
and watch your rocket's red glare
hear the girls at the top of the stairs, i think they're calling your name yeah i'm pretty sure they were calling your name.
seems like everyone's off having fun
left you h

A tape recorder, a length of rope
Lack of focus, shred of hope
A piece of thread is all that holds
This ship together
In this room you lost your heart
Document and catalogue
Think of how the past gets bogged down
Underneath your feet
Always underneath your feet

Babe in the woods in those days
Over & over, still,
You learn a lot that way
So i'll remain right here
The clouds go as they will
Something has got to give, it might as well be me
Me and my new machine
No goodbyes i didn't know what you wanted
Couldn't hear wh

no more questions
it's too early for that yet
find some sunglasses and
claim a nice spot on the porch
and there we'll wait for dawn to come because it comes for everyone
the night was too long
lost my bearings out at sea
gas station bathroom mirror
telling secrets

I'm knocked up
And I'm alone
Experiments happen
When you're not at home

And you should see in me
Dressed up in my nighty
If you could see me,
You'd say I don't look alright

This is repulsion (oooh)
This is repulsion (oooh)
This is repulsion (oooh)

If your looking for me
You better check under the sea
Cause that is where you'll find me
Underneath the

Sealab, Underneath the water
Sealab, At the bottom of the sea

Do you remember the way
does it mean anything to you at all
if the voices they say something
you thought you had heard it before
but i can guarantee this
there's only one way it can go
stick with me if you want
but i do not know the answer
to the things that you'r

do you remember the way?
does it mean anything to you at all?
if the voices, they say something
you thought you had it before
but i can promise you this
there's only way it can go
stick with me if you want
but i do not know the answer

to the things that you're l

a backwards glance in a borrowed dress
the taste of something imprecise
what's the story there? what'd you want to go there for?
what did you think you'd find?
what do you think you'll find without me
calling from far away
and you looking for what to say
but you will

Ottomwa heights is just a name , council bluffs i've never been
a fire came and burned away the only thing she'd have liked to save
do you remember? do you recall anything at all about her?
eventually you'll get the hang of what you need to navigate
some bars you'll learn to not

We've been locked out again
I'll be the indian and you be the cowboy
We'll terrorize the girls
Walking home from school
In their uniforms

I wore a yellow skirt
Covered with stains and dirt
Just a hand-me-down

We wrestle on the grass
Your legs upon my back<
