Will you love me when I'm loving you with order teeth.
There's nothing like a fright to help you find your feet.
As a boy I was curious to know whether the bell still rung on Saturdays, when the kids don't show.
You can't solve every problem all at once in some act of social martyrdom.
In a waiting room full of the fear.
Supportive partner please stand here.
You can't solve every problem all at once.
Lucky 22, make with the providence.
We can't solve every problem all at once.
Lucky 22, here comes the providence.

Out on the road your heart goes a wandering.
Searching for a little more of anything.
Drive with the windows down.
I don't like when the smoke can't get out.
How is this felt, misunderstood.
Water seeps straight into my boots.
My heart sinks right between the two.
City lights: red, yellow and blue.
Why do we end up in some place like this just as we're getting down to the core of it?
I ask if you liked Vertigo?
You said you preferred Rear Window.
I like North By Northwest.
Make sure you see Austin out of season and at it's best.

Not today, Satan.
I'm feeling pretty alright.
Coffee and the paper before first signs.
You are transitioning.
Waiting for permission to fly.
You're gonna be beautiful, baby.
Everything's gonna be alright.
With all that in mind, remember to give back a little love sometimes.
Not today, Satan.
Usual inconveniences aside.
What a burgeoning feeling.
Better left undefined.
What's on my mind makes little difference these days.
On the line between a joke and a sincere take.

Year of the Tiger

Meet me in the middle of anywhere you want.
Don't mind if it's your turf or not.
Remembering when I forgot that worrying mattered not.
There's only so much I can sing.
Referencing your deaths for everything.
I'm not old enough to remember you well enough.
The boys are growing up but not much in little ways.
As well as other bigger ways.
Calm me down.
There's only so much that you can think until one might question everything.
I don't like the corporate vision.
Awful people making bad decisions.

Carnation

Shed just a little light on everything I've missed.
I don't care if it hurts.
I'm in a good place to hear it.
I'd love nothing more than to meet you all.
I'm the secret son.
Bastard of young.
A lot of love there in the language.
Wish I could get a handle on what the craic is with you keeping all these secrets from me.
In the future.
Now we are present.
Catching up on who I am.
Did you know her?
She was stronger than most that I've met.
I would love nothing more than to meet you all.
He's the bastard son.
Secret young carnation.

Fabulist

Just watch the night fall like a hard handed arm with gavel.
This is a man that knows the difference between running water and disturbed gravel.
Seen you inside a cloud inversion.
Full Highland dress in the September turning heather.
Do you move in the waltz step time when you turn your troubles to dimes.
A chorus of all but eagles nowhere near us.
I still see you dancing in the fir and pine with those skinny arms overhead and up high.

Good Dogs
03:59
|
|
||
I promise that I will always try to answer questions.
Do all the good dogs go to heaven or not?
Indistinguishable kind of dreams that I've been having about whether this happened or not.
Voice of a working man looking like Burt Reynolds and I'd never known he'd sing so well.
Gathering the tools that you used and I'm wondering whether that I'll pick up the tricks of the trade or not.
Undeniable ode to the youth from a prospective father that's striking the balance after all.
No interest in the re-writes of history.
I'm living for tomorrow and you.
