Two straws/mine and yours/we're gonna bring compassion back/but not so/ Fast asleep/but breathing deep/I wonder when they'll/find out/that we've passed /over to the other side I know/what it's like to run too fast/for an exit/that might be the last It's morning again/and my means and ends/fit neatly into a day that's up to/you and me/in slow retreat/from a future/that's really the past I know/what it's like to run too fast/to an exit/that might be the last What part of N.O. don't you understand?
2.
There's one in every crowd/There's one on every corner A loner, a loser, a traitor, a brawler There's reason to be scared/You can't run any longer Stumble through the doors you kicked down when you were stronger And it's so easy to grow weary/When everyone is getting wise There's one in every crowd/There's one on every corner These are the thoughts/the thoughts that I ponder Of many cold stares/In the closest quarters Of mothers and daughters and sisters and brothers You know your eyes can get bleary/When you look through a disguise Leave a message and I'll return your call Once I get back from the secret policemen's ball There's one in every crowd/There's one on every corner Just leave if you want/Leave if you're gonna There's nothing for you/But cold dark corners The door is open so/Do what you aught-a And it's so easy to grow weary/When everyone is getting wise Only one question comes through clearly now How much longer will this be a crime Leave a message and I'll return your call Once I get back from the secret policemen's ball

Ezra 02:04
E-Z-R-A/E-Z-R-A So you're one of the Slobins/which should make things easier And you're one of the chosen/which is a lot of fun I'm sure But how would I know/I'm just your goy Uncle Pawlie In fact, I'm in even your uncle, really E-Z-R-A/E-Z-R-A

Berkeley Pit 02:26
The day I got to Butte is still in some dispute But it was March as sure as you're mine Teaches me to call someone else mine You won't return my letters or any of my calls So I got this shirt pressed, I left no forwarding address At my job in Twin Falls I found a place by the Berkley Pit Cause I just liked the thought of it A scar you can see from the sky You're hiding from me, but I'm easy to find Follow the poisoned rivers to where all the ties bind This festering wound in the ground Just outside the Butte city line Running felt like freedom or a town nearby But you miss your water when your well runs dry And a poisoned well is as good as dry
5.
Candid cameras/clicking quicker Than your memory expands Meaning that you/miss every other shot Blurring the space between/what is and what's not Until there's little more For you to call/understanding Every night is opening night And the klieg lights shine Will you deny your audience One more time/until The inevitable/fall from grace Puts you back into/you place As every two-cent/storefront preacher knows Everything must go
6.
A Bird 02:26
A bird makes up its little mind It's leaving, it should be leaving It's cold and there's no one around And there's that awkward feeling Leaving the rest to his odds Or does he have that backwards It doesn't phase that bird at all As we was just leave You are no more in control Even though you would like To have a say in where you're going To have a say in who you are Another day you're wrestling With an abstract question Is it true because you believe Or do you believe because it's True as needle to pole Or do you have that backwards It doesn't phase the bird at all As he was just leaving You are no more in control Even though you would like To have a say in where you're going To have a say in who you are Climbed a hill Turned around Took in the view There's no way down You are no more in control Even though you would like To have a say in where you're going To have a say in who you are Climbed a hill Turned around Breathtaking view But there's no way down

First lesson in asteroid negotiations Assess the situation If there's no where to hide Figure out who's on your side When that rock comes closing in Don't start any games you can't win When the panic begins Find all the cynical grins Who said it was just a plane Or being knocked out of our orbit Was really a good thing Now the hills won't even hide us Is the fault in our stars or inside us There are no stars in the city sky So, when the asteroid comes At least it'll be a surprise There are no stars in the city sky So, when the big one hits At least it'll be a surprise
8.
We told the best lies of our lives Folded maps to get to a better place Made our wishes on strawberry moons I hope my wish comes true soon Strange things start to happen The odd and improbable So many strange things happen It's like anything is possible Life is light and stretches out in every way Love is light and stretches out in every way But imagine me a plastic bag in a tree Too tied to today to blow away Strange things start to happen The odd and improbable So many strange things happen It's like anything is possible That night I started vanishing That night I stared into the sky The observable edge of the known universe I wonder who will blink first Hard to learn Sadder to prove Some mistakes You can't undo
