How about getting off of these antibiotics
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up
How about changing a line 'cause it don't make sense
How about that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
How about grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down

How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

Yeah yeah
Ah oh
Ah ho oh
Ah ho oh
Yeah yeah

Here is the moment
And the coil has been unwound

Here is the moment
Nothing wears me down

Here is the moment
There's no need to pretend
To think about the future
When this moment ends

Here is the moment
Here is the moment
Here is the moment

Here is the moment
Lfe just flows right through me
Nothing really matters
The freedom is just to breath

Here is the moment
When day begins to fade
This will be the thing I treasure
From all the things I'm made

Here is the moment
Here is the moment
Here is the moment

Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this Im pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came

I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, theres no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came

Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
Im sure I had my dinner watching something on tv
Theres not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came

And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

My lost boy you've been lonely I know
I'll bring peace and I'll carry you home

Please come home
Please come home
Make me whole
Again

You have once recalled harbour lakes
You have sheltered from crawling astray

Please come home
Please come home
Make me whole
Again

Please come home
Please come home
Please come home
Please come home
Make me whole
Again

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again

Four trees down
I will wait
Underground
I've got time

Warm earth weighs down in my lungs
I miss the summer sun

In the spring
Footsteps fall
Frail birds sing
Insects crawl

And I had so much to say
The time just slipped away

Known paths steels
Where we hold
Doubts appear
Rain spreads gold

Warm earth weighs down in my lungs
I miss the summer sun

The pupil is twelve, attractive withdrawn
In a midnight blue school uniform
Lips just a little too full for her face
Distant eyes full of space
In her posture no trace of coquette
No defiance

She fingers the frets looking forlorn
Crossing her legs where her tights have been torn
Starts as her mother comes into the room
And the afternoon grows still
And her mother feels a chill
Shivers and buttons her coat

I gently correct the curve of her back
And open her book in the now empty flat
At the classical piece I've had her prepare
And her arms are bare as she plays
And I draw back behind her ear
A few strands of hair gone astray

She shows me her bracelet, the lesson is done
I turn it around between finger and thum
We sit face to face and it seems to me that
Her face is the face of a cat
And touching the place where her breasts will be
I press my hand flat

She comes into my lap, I turn her around
Her hands clasp my neck and her feet skim the ground
Her skirt travels up under my palm
But the pupil sits looking so calm
As if listening to the distant sound of a burglar alarm.

What happened next it's hard to recall
The guitar lesson left no traces at all
Now from afar it seems to resemble
A strange composition in oil
Of a man, a guitar and an innocent little girl

Cold blows the wind to my true love
And gently drops the rain
I've never had but one true love
And in green-wood he lies slain

I'll do as much for my true love
As any young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For twelve months and a day

And when twelve months and a day was passed
The ghost did rise and speak
"Why sittest thou all on my grave
And will not let me sleep?"

Go fetch me water, my true love
And blood from out the stone
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
That young man has never known

How oft on yonder grave, my true love
Where we were want to walk
The fairest flower that I ever saw
Has withered to my stalk

When will we meet again, sweetheart
When shall we meet again?
When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees
Are green and spring again

Oh yeah
In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin' U somebody died
Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it
And we're sending people 2 the moon
In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

Times, times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, Sign O the Times

Time, time

Sign O the Times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's 2 late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy

Time, time

Time, time

Don't wanna see anybody
Don't wanna see anybody but you
Don't wanna see anybody

Don't wanna feel anybody
Don't wanna feel anybody but you
Don't wanna feel anybody

Tell me how does it feel, when you want to be real
But there's nothing inside?
I wish I could explain
Why the sound of the rain
Brings you into my mind

Whatever you think
Well you're wrong

Don't wanna need anybody
Don't wanna need anybody but you
Don't wanna need anybody

Don't wanna leave anybody
Don't wanna leave anybody but you
Don't wanna leave anybody

Tell me how does it feel, when you want to be real
But there's nothing inside?
I wish I could explain
Why the sound of the rain
Brings you into my mind

Whatever you think
Well you're wrong

Lord of the Reedy River
She fell in love with a swan
Her eyes were filled with feathers
He filled her with song
In the reedy river
In the reedy river

She in her boat long hours
He in his royal plumage
She threw him some flowers
In the reedy river
In the reedy river

Black was the night
And starry
She loosened off her garments
And let fall her hair
In the reedy river
In the reedy river

Sadly they mourn inside
Lost in evening twilight
Two swans glide
And fly...
O'er the reedy river
O'er the reedy river

She fell in love with a swan...

Dream cold
Let go
Saint rose
Don't go

I will sing to you

Stay near
Cleanse clear
Stay here
My dear

Saw there soul in showers
Rain for hours

Be still
No will
Fulfill
Until

Insect heavy dawn
Find the spawn
