the difference
03:55
|

sugar and salt
will tempt me to taste
when i can’t tell
when i can’t tell
when i can’t tell
the difference
it’s yours
and then it’s my poor circumstance
the reason to curse
when i can’t tell
when i can’t tell
when i can’t tell
the difference

two for the road
04:10
|
|||
not to sound paranoid
but i think someone is
watching us, taking notes
while we’re under glass
where is thy sting?
where is thy sting?
where is thy sting?
where is […]
burn the rest
overstock and sheer opulence
one for me, one for you
well, i guess that makes two for the road
where is thy sting?
where is thy sting?
where is thy sting?
where is […]
again, again
again, again

always, always, always

by virtue of the hunger pang
it is a concern: the incentive
who stands to gain fifty dollars
phone a favor in two years
always, always
always, always
take the picture
35 millimeter
so they’ll know
i was thriving, had stuff to do
was smiling, validated by the print
always, always
always, always

trauma suits
04:41
|

even though the trauma suits a volunteer
the seasoned fear, too
and selfish joy – our holy art
a diatribe, you pass the wine
swing low your burning chariot
god knows the lengths you take
to dole out our just deserts
even though we’re even
even though
even though we’re even
even though
i wasted time dismantling
i take it back – i have to make
beware all ease, and self-deceit
we meet halfway, extend our hands
swing low your burning chariot
god knows the lengths you take
to dole out our just desserts
even though we’re even
even though
even though we’re even
even though

scotch ale

‘tis the season
the garland hangs
from a nail on the door
your reasons may change
but your feeling will stay the same
so many ways to screw it up that i've found
the more you know
the more you know you don’t know
welcome home son, your bed is made
there’s a plate at the table
explaining where you’ve been
excusing why you where there
so many ways to screw it up that i've found
the more you know
the more you know you don’t know

vote of no confidence
04:51
|
|||
is this what you love?
would you do it for no money?
for nobody?
another round for the gang
let the good times roll
now let ‘em say what they mean
let the good times roll
you have my vote of no confidence
you have my vote of no confidence
you have my vote of no confidence
you have my vote of no confidence
the cymbal wash
the din of the bar
an understudy gets a call from the show’s star
when the record comes out
make it “pay what you can”
max out the guest list
leave with twenty bucks for gas
you have my vote of no confidence
you have my vote of no confidence
you have my vote of no confidence
you have my vote of no confidence

please turn off your cameras
what i'm going to say may incriminate some of us
you should know we’ve paid our dues
reckless times and matching shoes
we’d love to have you
and so the band is playing for the bands again
be sure to really listen to the words
and ask about their gear
“say, are you guys from here?”
thanks for coming out
it means the world to see your smiling face
think of all the more vogue things
you could have done
and so the band is playing for the bands again
be sure to really listen to the words
and ask about their gear
“say, are you guys from here?”
i think i might have said too much
i think i might have said too much
i think i might have said too much
i think i might have said too much

fit like a charm
04:13
|

of course they’ll ask to have a look inside
my bag of sharpened knives and dirty tricks
hello, good to meet you, too
fine as ever
but this is where the north and south divide
that’s the way she goes
that’s the way she goes
that’s the way she goes
that’s the way she goes
the look of disappointment on their face
to know what they could never comprehend
goodbye, see you around, i guess
for the record
right here is where the north and south divide
that’s the way she goes
that’s the way she goes
that’s the way she goes
that’s the way she goes
then when you’re finally back home from work
you can sigh with a smile
recall for her and revise every detail to fit like a charm
bless you, brilliant, half-cocked dummy
you fit like a charm

sunday morning
04:44
|

in time the good things
you will to be, will be
and give you peace
and be gracious unto you
stand up and lift your voice
close your eyes
and give you peace
and be gracious unto you
then i hear the bell toll twelve

writing down the bones
the flesh, the dirt
keep your pen moving
is it so wrong to fabricate
the temperature, the color of the rug?
the midnight oil burns on
burns on
burns on
all for you
don’t give up the dream
the gift, your season
one grain of sand becomes a pearl
through fog, through snow, into heavy wind
i'll arrive – relief, i’m alive
the midnight oil burns on
burns on
burns on
all for you
