Hey Kids

Hey kids, come quick
We find a lot of things out this way
Lead them out of the black and into the thick
Believe me when I say
Hey kids, hey kids
Come quick, come quick
Hey kids, come quick
Come quick
Come quick
With your time
Open eyes
Put the lie to
There’s only one way out
Hey kids, come quick
We find the best things out this way
Restlessness is your greatest gift
Just not the kind you give away
Hey kids, hey kids
Come quick, come quick
Come quick
Come quick
With your time
Open eyes
Put the lie to
There’s only one way out
No promisers or promissory
Are worth the water or cash they carry
You steal the silence
With your sideways statements
And you rip the fabric
With your fabrications
No promisers or promissory
Are worth the water or cash they carry
You steal the silence
With your sideways statements
And you rip the fabric
With your fabrications
Hey kids, come quick
We find a lot of things out this way

Rolling Thunder
02:16
|
|||
You’ll find everything you need on the counter
You’ll find this place pretty welcoming if you’re not around a lot
We’ll see how brave you are when you leave here
They’ll see through your Midwestern charm and your malaprops
This isn’t the day, the time or place
This isn’t the day, the time or place
You know I love you like a brother
But this was the best I could do, it’s not like we talk a lot
We try to honest with one another
But I find being honest with you means lying to myself a lot
This isn’t the day, the time or place
This isn’t the day, the time or place
Rolling thunder, rolling thunder
This isn’t the time, the day or place
This isn’t the time, the day or place

Hearts
02:53
|
|||
That’s the shape
Of a heart
It’s hard to tell
Where it stops
And it starts
It’s just a couple valves
And some ventricles
Much more asymmetrical
Than I was lead to believe
You could have fooled me
But that’s the shape
Of a heart
It’s hard to tell
Where it stops
And it starts
I can tell you this much
It’s not something I’d touch
If my life depended on it
You say it does
And I believe
If only because
You have such
A big heart
It’s just a couple valves
And some ventricles
Much more asymmetrical
Than I was lead to believe
Believe
Believe
Believe
Just who you gonna believe
Believe

Slope
02:27
|
|||
A man falls in love with his toaster
He couldn't resist that little bread smoker
We never thought it could ever come to this
Until he slipped down that slope
What bliss?
The man and the toaster got married
Opinions for and against were varied
We never thought that we'd ever exceed the bounds
Were it not for that slope...slippin' us down.

Francis Xavier
02:38
|
|||
Rarely did I understand the wise words of my old man
On his way from the first to the fifteenth
They were short, but hardly sweet
My folks were married by the church door
Maybe that's way they aren't married any more
My father's off with the merchant marine
My mother back with codfish aristocracy
Life isn't all beer and skittles
You're never further than when you're in the middle
Life is short and very brittle
But it's a sail life for me
Life isn't all beer and skittles
You're never further than when you're in the middle
Life is short and very brittle
But it's a sail life for me
You don't have to be a saint to be a savior
I've got more scotch in me than Francis Xavier
You don't have to be a saint to be a savior
I've got more scotch in me than Francis Xavier

Breathe
04:44
|

Breathe
That'll put you in your place
Somewhere you hope isn't the end
And now you see
You little life for what it is
A long day at work
They caught you wising it would end
Breath

Mothers and Daughters
02:19
|

Mothers and daughters
An old song with a new name
It’s the kind with a message
And a happy refrain
A response to an imperative
Only lightened by necessity
If you’ve forgotten how to live
It only takes a second to see
So if you’re trying to make a start
At being kind and pure of heart
You’d do much worse than
Mothers and daughters
An old song with a new name
It’s the kind with a message
And a happy refrain
An old song with a new name
A new song with an old name

Children of the Vanguard
03:01
|
|||
From the bar to the brothel
From the grotto to the grave
Are the ghosts that hold this valley down
To its simpler days
But being on the side of the saints ain’t gonna pay the rent
And our sinners ain’t gonna be saved
As sure as that black damp is gonna make this mine your grave
When king coal came to Ohio
He brought shanty towns and sunless days
In return we gave this nation light
And a revolution soon began
Then on our backs the Allies won the Great War
While at home our prospects did fade
Denied the right to organize
And killed if we dared
Around this time we heard a calling
And with it clarity came
If our revolt amounts to nothing
We’ll be nothing just the same
Never met myself a bourgeois
But ain’t nothing that would change
The children of the vanguard will dance on your graves
In Ohio . . .

Beyond the Signal
04:04
|

Beyond on the signal
Around the bend
It seems like a lifetime
Do you remember when?
The winds will blow
And the reeds will bend
Beyond on the signal
Around the bend
