I've got my reasons
I've got my seasons
And you will never make me change
I've got my mother
And my father
The shadow on the wall of the cave

A sudden freedom
I shed the demon
I bask in the light of the day
Analytical
Metaphysical
A shadow on the wal

Will someone tell to me
'Cause I'm not knowing
Where do I go
How do I get where I'm going?

Murmur in the heart of St. Peter
Fuelling lies and fooling eyes.

And I try
So hard
To play
The part.

Why why why?
Why why why?

Oh this life
Do I

In this park they play
They let the pigeons stay
They give them names and feed them bread
They live in Philadelphia

You have no chance, old man
Your queen is cornered, I'd say
Shoot a bird off the board
Don't need your cane for this job

Click your heels, dance

Smooth and altogether white,
Same on the inside.
It was my birthday,
I felt its weight like a stone.

But I listened for the sound of it,
Smelled for the smell of it.
It was my birthday.

Down below the garden's bed,
Weak deep and dirty lead,
Sinking to the

Our glances made able
With a lift to the table
From the barman

Whose patrons are growing
Restless for the showing
'fore the show.

Handsome ladies
Make grown men babies
Tonight.

Oh oh
Brother
See her
Drink her
Milk white glory.

She w

Goldenface, morninglight
Bending through my window,
A burden on my eyes.

Everything in changing,
And I am just alive.

Slip away,
Uunseen,
Returning to my kingdom,
A newly widowed dream
'Cause everything is changing,
And I am just alive.

You will

They robbed an answer from the pockets
Of the good old days
It was simple up to them
Now i hold the fire in a worried way
I guard the fire from the wind

I like to tell you that you're pretty,
It warms your face
And i am a winner every time

Don't break my heart

Grass fought through the snow.

Just like the rest,
It grew to grow.
And somewhere,
On some doorstep,
A few curious knocks,
Fill an empty house.

I left a note,
And I hope you found it,
My old friend.

(I've been wondering)
(I've been wondering)

I say the night's been dark and polite,
But I'm wondering,
Will you ask me in?

A pause, do you gaze at my flaws,
Do I wander back home?
Empty the night alone.

Oh what a marvelous design.

We sit in your only chair,
Your fingers strum,
Through your hair.

Me and a
Friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine
Were riding through the rain
Sizing up our circumstances
Looking for the dame

Nikolai, Nikolai, Nikolai
Was a young hot-headed man
One eye left of center
And a pistol in his hand

And we saw her standi

I woke within a circle and they glared down at me,
My ex lovers and their mothers,
Nails and biting teeth.
Why, why didn't I?
Why, why didn't I die?

My brother found my body in the grass,
A purple stain,
And he didn't say a word we are the same,
We are the same.

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a win

Cold black tires chase telephone wires
And oh, I drive to work
I trust my best years
To the fits and fires of warring gears
And oh, I drive to work
Follow the road and do what you're told
Sing us a song and then run along
I'm happy where I am

Oh, Saturday night<

I often think on early days,
And why I never left this place?
All my young ambitious plans
Are buried in these callused hands.

As giant trees so strong and sound
Until the lightning brings them down,
I don't bend or lean or sway,
And all the rest remains the same.</

If we take a break and start all over again
Will you remember me like I was back then
If we turn it off
Turn it off

Anxious love and arrested gaze
While you tell me all about your single days
We can build it up
Build it up, build it up

I walk you home 'neath t

You start to worry about your health
As you reach a certain age.
So in a careful tongue,
I have chosen one,
That I believe is safe,
In the crook of my good arm.

All the liars I know,
Tell me the course is bleak.
They can go to hell,
I know that story well,

Did my sister marry?
Does the house look the same?
In a sort of way,
I am walking home.

In a certain light at a certain hour,
I could stay here, but that don't feel
like me.

And the feeling wanes from a man inbetween.
It was easier, when you were easier on me.

Found a letter in the mail today.
Now I've got to go and fight this war.

But I'm in love.

Met a doll the other night.
I've got to find a way to keep her.
I don't wanna die.
She's my girl.

Steal away with me tonight.

Found a way,
I figured out,
Just

Where is my heroine?
Moony eyes and pearly skin.
If you are a lie, I am a liar.

Oh
We will meet someday soon,
Unaware and our of tune,
You will panic in a way I'll later find to be your style.

Ohhh
We will meet someday soon,
It will terrify you.

I ha

Faces of smiling teeth,
Purple from red wine,
And I don't need a single thing for awhile.

I feel a strange connection
To he smiles and wide eyes.
Is it really there or is it just my
state of mind?

Will they help me sing my song?
