Tracks



01. Flatlands

I want flatlands
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I never cared about anything you've ever owned
I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
Bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
Dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves
I want flatlands
Will you go there with me
When it's said in the dark and you know it's always there
When it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid
When it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
When it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free

02. The Way We Used To

Are we wasting our time awake here
We could be sleeping
I'll disappear then maybe
When you're here I know I could never love you
I only dream of you after you are gone
We don't work the way we used to
Your face has changed since morning
Say it
I want to hear some truth
Say it
Say it
When you're here I know I could never love you
I only dream of you after you are gone

03. Spinning Centers

When the minute goes by faster than the feet
When the winter passes slowly as defeat
When the face of death is after me spinning
Only dream of me
Only dream of me
When the children speak of sinners in the street
When the fever hits the center of our feet
When our palms are burnt like balmy winter trees
Only dream of me
Only dream of me

04. Appalachia

It was the way we always knew that we never had the clue
That we never had the chance like the others in the dance
Like black diamonds, ash and light
Like the mines and anthracite
Split-tongued fellows, venom-survived
Violence only against the vile
E'er we bleed into the wild
Then laid to rest there, man or child
This shining gutter in the sun
Is it worth it in the run

05. I Died With You

I died with you
I wear your clothes to be more like you
Your eyes still sparkle in my mind though you are gone

06. Boyfriend

Boyfriend, be careful 'cause women are poisonous animals
Boyfriend, oh boyfriend, be careful if you can
There's glory coming out
I can hear it on our mouths
There is a stranded heart swimming on careful air
Boyfriend, oh boyfriend be careful cause women are poisonous animals
Boyfriend be careful if you can there's glory coming out
I can taste it on our mouths
There is a stranger's heart beating inside my chest
You call this passion
But I call it a cancer

07. Our Work Was Good

Oh the night is wild
And he is fine
And away we go
And oh our hands were tired
But our work was good
And our hands would hold
Brother our troubles are locked in each other's arms
And away we go
Happen, did it happen?
Is it over?
Is it done?
Answer
You'd only answer in questions
You knew me well
After did we care for one another or ourselves at all
Over
Is it over
Did it happen
I knew him well

08. Hyper Oz

My bed is so cold without you in it
Tell me something so I can go to sleep

09. Sunstorm

I remember everything you said into my head right before you died
It was the weekend
It was November
I had a strange dream
It was my birthday
I heard about it from a neighbor
You had a bad trip
You crawled right down the hall
You took your fingers
You found the cupboard
You twisted off the caps of every single bottle
It's like a waterfall
It's like a laser
It's like a miracle
It's a sharp razor
It was a Thursday
I ran right over
You were laying there twisted at the knees
I remember everything you said
