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?

Secret Policemen's Ball
02:43
|
|||
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

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

Clicking Quicker
02:10
|
|||
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

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

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
