Afraid and Entertained
03:02
|
|||
Hair falling off of my head, grows right on my back
And all of the tears I cry won't ever bring it back
Take that mirror of the wall
But that won't do no good at all
Better get up off of that couch and climb some place where I might fall
'Cause when you're about to lose your head
You don't worry about your curls
When the boat gets rocky and the suits start to break a sweat
That's when you know for sure that some iron is about to melt
Unless you're as blind as a bat
Unless you're so very well tamed
It's the first rule of keeping us afraid and entertained
'cause when about to lose your head
You don't worry about your curls

I Got a Thing
04:13
|

I got a thing, I can’t seem to find,
clutters up my head, clouding up my mind
I got a thing crawling up my spine,
I'd give it all away but it isn't mine
I got a thing I can’t seem to bite,
keeps me on my toes, keeps me out of sight
I got a thing boiling in my gut,
keep me up all night, keep me from thinking right
I got a thing I can’t see thru,
eating up my soul, keeps me apart from you
I got a thing as thick as glue,
and I can't shake it off no matter what I do
I got a thing, won't let me be,
it keeps my self so far away from me
The race it never ends, and I can't help but run
I'm running late ahead of time

Somebody Else
03:52
|

Sometimes I can't remember, sometimes I just can't decide
Am I still down in the ghetto? could it be that I am the guard?
Can't tell which side I'm on,
Am I inside, outside, flipside of the fence?
Is it just a matter of circumstance?
Because it never really happens when it happens to somebody else
Sometimes they ask you - what do you think?
You don't say nothing at all,
Sometimes you cry so loud
ain’t no one there to hear your call
Somebody is hanging by their teeth,
There must be nothing you can do,
You’re just a pawn in their game,
Don’t you know it’s true?
That it never really happens unless it happens to you

So The Story Goes
03:30
|
|||
And so the feeling grows, I got to pack my songs
Move down that beat up road, just like I did before
And though I'm getting old, I still got time to find
A place to call my home, a way to ease my mind
To hold your head up high sometimes you'll have to crawl
To shun them easy tongues you got to let it roll
‘cause you can't lick your tongue, you can't bite your teeth
You can't sell guns and say you're in for peace
And though my fortune's told, and though I know it's cold
I got to leave my pond before the water boils
I know I'm mostly wrong, but I just might be right
I know it's mostly grey, there's hardly black or white
But you can't smell your nose, you can't marry your niece
You can't sell guns and say you're in for peace
Now my knees are shaky and my eyes are red
Now it's getting real, I think I'll stay in bed

Some Say
04:07
|

Some say it's getting Better, I think they're mostly rich
I think it's getting worse now, it's true I like to bitch
Gonna bleed a while, when it's red enough I know it's gonna switch
Some say there is no sadness, they sing and dance and laugh and preach
Some say he's on his way now, I know they’re out of reach
But I've been a whale and I know just whom you cannot teach
Some say it's all in your head, Some say that nothing is
Some say it's just a toothbrush, Some say it's just a bridge
If I would be a fly on your wall you know I wouldn't flap a wing
If I had been your ma, all night long you know I wouldn’t sleep a wink

What's Wrong With Me
02:21
|
|||
What's wrong with me it's plain to see
My plane has crashed into your sea
Well I like your water but I wonder who's been swimming here with me
What's wrong with you, you wouldn't say
I got to know the rules if you want me to play
Well I got a feeling creeping in that you ain't gonna stay
You ain’t nothing but a flea looking for a dog
You ain't nothing but a wart looking for a hog
Living off of legends, going around kissing frogs
What I know I can't tell
I'd rather have wings then a tail
And that if you want to live then you have got to sell

No Matter How

No matter how hard you try to
Get lost
Everybody wants to be
Found

Should've
02:37
|

I should have walked her to her car
I should have shown her the north star
But by the time I found my shoe
I was already way too blue
I should have tuned up her guitar
I should have shown her my old scar
But the world it moves too fast
I couldn't make that moment last
Show me something holier than fear
God knows that love is nowhere near
Take my precious lost moments and dust them outta here
I shouldn't have opened up that drawer
She probably heard it all before
Yes I could tell she was getting bored, I started feeling kind of sore
Sweat running out of every pore, Crying lord there must be more
It can't all be such a bore, Shouting I declare a war
Started crawling on the floor
She was headed for the door

Long Days at the Lab
03:51
|
|||
Well I been trying to get some sleep but the sofa's too short
From inside the aquarium I see the old train court
The master of the ceremony opens and closes the doors
His eyes are red he keeps his eye drops locked in a drawer
And I'm praying on a bird to come and take me away
I'm praying on great big bird to come and take me away
Well inside the aquarium the water's too hot
I try to get out but the doors are all locked
I'm trying to pray but it seems I'd forgotten the words
I wanna cry out loud but I seem to be missing my head
And I'm wishing on a whale to come and swallow me whole
I'm wishing on a great big whale to come and swallow me whole
Well inside the aquarium I'm trying to sleep
In the distance I spy as if in a dream
A whale coming towards me and he's quiet and gentle and green
And I slide inside and it's cosy and clean
In the back room my love is waiting for me
When she smiles I feel like the whole world is smiling at me

Mishehu Aher

לפעמים אני שוכח, לפעמים אני פשוט לא זוכר
האם אני עדיין בגטו, האם אני רק השומר
האם אני לפני או מאחורי הגדר
כי זה לא באמת קורה
כל עוד זה קורה למישהו אחר
לפעמים אתה שותק כששואלים לדעתך
לפעמים אתה צועק ואין מי שישמע אותך
מישהו רוצה משהו
זה בטח לא עניינך
כי זה לא באמת קורה
עד שזה קורה לך

Tell Me No Lie
04:22
|

Hey sugarcane tell me no lie, where will you run to when the water runs high?
To have it your way I'll see you in the pines
There's too much to lose now for me to have mine
There's no need to fear, no need to hide, open your window and let me inside
I will hear you out, I'll swallow your pride
I'll row the high seas, I'll ride the high tide
Can't you tell by my eyes that I'm done telling lies
When you say you don't need me no more, I think you just forgot
Call me a fake, call me a liar, all me a traitor if that's what you're like
But my heart's on my sleeve, my feet on high ground
I've plucked all my feathers, I've shot all my rounds
Can't you tell by my lies that I've lost both my eyes
When you say you don't need me no more I think you just forgot
And oh how the time flies by, and oh how the winds do howl
A bird without wings, a fly with no eyes, a hand without fingers, a choice without a price
A book without leaves, a cry with no sound, a wheel with no axis, a land with no past
Hey brother cane, tell me no lie, where will you run to when the water runs high?
