TODAY WE RISE AND GREET ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY
TODAY I'LL MEET YOU CROSS THE FIELD NEAR THE WISHING WELL
BALIK SA TRABAHO
TODAY THE SKY IS CLEAR THE SEA A LOOKING GLASS
TODAY A FISH OR TWO OR THREE WILL COME YOUR WAY
BALIK SA TRABAHO
MEET ME CROSS THE FIELD NEAR THE WISHING WELL
TAKE MY HAND, STAND
AND LEAD THE WAY TO A BRAND NEW DAY
TURN YOUR TV ON AND SING YOUR SONG
THE ANSWER TO WHAT'S WRONG IS IN YOUR SONG

That thing it happened to me
When I'm on the phone and I'm all alone
And you're talking to me that way
Like in the Mercury you looked at me
All it takes for me is for you to be
In my mind intensified poetic frenzy
Like in the Mercury ponderosa pines
Heaving of a sigh you send me there
I've seen America with you
That thing it happened to me

LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH
SLEEPING IN YOUR CLOTHES
NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN
THAT YOU COULD HAVE SHOWN THIS SIDE
WHEN YOU’RE WORK IS DONE
YOU WILL SEE THE SUN AND YOU WILL SHINE
TUESDAY YOU’RE DOING FINE
IN BED BY NINE
WEDNESDAY WAS JUST ALRIGHT
PUT UP A LITTLE FIGHT
WHEN YOU’RE WORK IS DONE
YOU WILL SEE THE SUN AND YOU WILL SHINE
MORNING WILL TURN TO NIGHT
NIGHTTIME WILL BURN IN HELL
MORNING WAVES WILL CRASH
THEN THEY WILL SUBSIDE
WHEN YOU’VE DONE YOUR TIME
YOU WILL BE OUR SON AND YOU WILL
SHINE

SLOGGING THROUGH MY SWINE STY
THIS PEARL IS CAST BEFORE MY EYES
SHE GIVES THE ANIMALS THEIR NAMES
MAKING UP SONGS WE ALL SING ALONG
EXCEPTING FOR THE HUMANS
SHE HUMBLY SUBMITS TO ALL MANNER OF VERTEBRATES
HER POETRY IS A SYMPHONY MAKING
MAGPIES RECONSIDER THEIR SCREAMS
LYING IN THE GRASS BLOWING KISSES TO THE TREES ABOVE HER
IT'S A NEW TIME IT'S A NEW DAY
SKIPPING ACROSS THE OCEAN
SHE FINDS A SOFT PLACE TO LAY HER HEAD
SURROUNDED BY HER FRIENDS FAR AWAY
FROM HOME NOW SHE IS AT HOME

DRIVING TO YOUR MIND
FEELING YOUR VOICE
PULLING ME CLOSER
SHOWING ME THE WAY
WATER AND T.V.
THE SOUND OF THE TRAIN
IF I COME IN YOUR FORTRESS
DON’T PUSH ME AWAY FROM YOU
TELL ME SECRETS
I WILL TOO
LET ME LAY WITH YOU
EMOTIONS IN MOTION
THE PASSION REMAINS
I’M STANDING HERE NAKED
LOST IN THE RAIN
PUSHING ME HARDER
LIKE SOMEONE YOU HATE
I DON’T DESERVE YOU
GET IN MY CAR AND DRIVE AWAY
TRAIN MY EYES OUT ON THE ROAD
TRAIN MY MIND ON THINGS SHE SAID
DRIVE MY THOUGHTS AWAY SHE SAID
THESE ARE THE THINGS BEST LEFT DEAD

YOU STRIPPED
AWAY ALL MY ARMOR
AND I BECAME A HOST
FOR YOUR LUST
I KISSED YOU
IN THIS INSTITUTION
FOR THE NERVOUS HEART AND
EMPTY SOULS
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED
SURE MY EXPECTATIONS ARE LOW
EVENING FADES TO MORNING’S RISE
I RISE I RISE I RISE
AND I MISS YOU
BUT IF I KISSED YOU ONE MORE
TIME YOU’D SUCK ME INTO
YOUR INSTITUTION

SHE DRAWS YOU NEAR LIKE A SCARF AROUND HER SHOULDER
BREATHE DEEP BUT DON’T SLEEP
KEEP THIS MOMENT FOREVER DRIFT AWAY
DRIFT AWAY UPON A STAR TO GALAXIES UNKNOWN
GEORGIAN MANSIONS COULDN’T MATCH YOUR BEAUTY WITH THEIR ALABASTER
COLUMNS MADE WITH PREHISTORIC DUST
I CAN’T EVEN PAINT A PICTURE
WITHOUT THE NUMBERS TO GUIDE MY HAND
ANY OLD DOG CAN SING A SONG
EVEN WITH A MUZZLE ON

LOVE IS TRUE BUT LOVE CRUEL
AND LIKE PAUL MAURIAT SAYS
LOVE IS BLUE
LOVE IS GREEN LOVE IS RED
JUST LIKE THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS
IN MY HEAD
THIS IS WHY I GAVE MY BOOZE AWAY
I HAVE NO NEED FOR DRUNKENNESS THESE DAYS
THIS IS WHY I GAVE MY SWEATER AWAY
THE TIME FOR IT'S COMFORT HAS EXPIRED
I SAY THIS WITH GREATEST RESPECT FOR YOU
THIS COLD
THIS IS WHY I'LL DISENGAGE FROM YOU
AND ALL YOU STAND FOR
CHRISTMASTIME IS FINE DISGUISED WITH SNOW
BUT WHEN IT'S GONE THE UGLINESS WILL SHOW
THIS IS WHY I WILL NOT SEE THE CLOUDS
'CAUSE WHERE I'M GOING SUNLIGHT RULES MY DAY
I SAY THIS WITH GREATEST REGRET FOR YOU
THIS COLD
THIS IS WHY I'LL DISENGAGE FROM YOU
AND ALL YOU STAND FOR

THAT'S NOT ME AND I CAN'T BE SOMEONE I AM NOT
THAT'S NOT ME AND I CAN'T BE SOMEONE I AM NOT
LET'S AGREE TO LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS
THIS BESTOWED INTENTION WAS NOT MY OWN
TO CALL TO ARMS YOUR ARMIES OF LOST SOULS...NO
THAT'S NOT ME AND I CAN'T BE SOMEONE I AM NOT
I'M A TREE YOU CAN CUT ME DOWN BUT I'LL GROW RIGHT BACK
THAT'S NOT ME WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND
YOUR FRIENDSHIP HAS THIS PENDING DOOM AND PROTOCOL
AND I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE IT OUT...NO
THAT'S NOT ME AND I CAN'T BE SOMEONE I AM NOT
THAT'S NOT ME AND I CAN'T BE SOMEONE I AM NOT
LET'S AGREE TO LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS
THAT'S NOT ME AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT'S NOT ME WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND

WE HAD A GOOD TIME ROAMING ROUND
LOOKING FOR THE SUNNY SIDE OF TOWN
BUS RIDES AND WHITE FACED MONKEY RUNS
I DON'T WANNA GO
DON'T TELL ME THAT IT'S OVER AND DONE
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE SUN
RAYNA BESIDE ME ON THE BEACH
JIMMY RISES DREAMING OF THE DAY
WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE LEAVING HERE
I DON'T WANNA KNOW
DON'T TELL ME THAT IT'S OVER AND DONE
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE SUN

RODE INTO TOWN AND YOU FLAGGED ME DOWN
YELLED OUT MY NAME WITH OUT A SOUND
I WATERED MY HORSE AND GAVE YOU A RHYME
WE WENT OUT THAT NIGHT AND HAD A GOOD TIME
I'M GETTING DRUNK ON CLOWN'S TEARS
WASTING MY TIME ON EMPTY YEARS
YOU'VE GOT A NERVE LOOKING SO DIVINE
THINKING OF YOU IS A WASTE OF MY MIND
WOKE UP NEXT MORNING AND YOU MADE ME BREAD
SHOWED ME THE DOOR AND A HAT FOR MY HEAD
SOMEHOW I KNEW I'D BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN HOW I
RODE INTO TOWN AND YOU SHOT ME DOWN
TOO MANY MILES ON THIS OLD HORSE
TOO MANY YEARS I'VE STAYED THIS COURSE
TOO MANY LIES RIGHT FROM THE START
TOO MANY CRACKS IN THIS BROKEN HEART

I SEE KINGS FUCKING THEIR MONEY
SLEEP WITH THEIR MONEY
DOWN ON THEIR KNEES
PRAYING TO THEIR MONEY
SHE IS NOT MY FRIEND SHE’S NOT MY LOVER
SHE WANTS THIS AND THAT AND NOT THE OTHER
DON’T KNOW WHERE SHE’LL FIND IT WHEN I’M GONE
LITTLE BOY BLUE SLEEPS
IN A SEA OF REDEMPTION
HIS EYES WIDE OPEN
TAKING IN LIFE

SUMMERTIME GOT ME DANCING ON A MUDDY FLOOR
SUMMERTIME GOT ME DANCING ALL ALONE
TOO MUCH PURPLE MICRODOT IN A CANVAS TENT
HIPPIE CHICKS WERE DANCING ON MY HAIR
AND I JUST WASHED MY HAIR LAST NIGHT
WHAT WAS I THINKING COMING HERE ANYWAY
THE COLORS ONCE SO BEAUTIFUL TURNED BLACK
AND I JUST WASHED MY HAIR LAST NIGHT
RUNNING ON VAPORS TILL I HIT THE MUDDY FLOOR
A CAROUSEL IS THE TENT FLOOR PROPPING UP MY FACE
SUMMERTIME GOT ME DANCING ON A MUDDY FLOOR
SUMMERTIME GOT ME DANCING ALL ALONE
BLUEGRASS TURNS TO ROCK AND ROLL AT NINE
MY EYEBALLS BECOME FIXTURES IN THE SKY
MY CLOTHES ARE TORN MY MOUTH IS PARALYZED
AND I JUST WASHED MY HAIR LAST NIGHT
