It's You That Comes To Mind 02:44
lyrics
buy track
It’s you that comes to mind When I start to cry So give me all your time And leave the world behind Afield and far from hallowed grounds and memories There’s nothing to remember, it’s all make-believe Another man will come I Wonder who’ll it be now It’s you that comes to mind When I start to cry So give me all your time And leave the world behind Lurking in the shadows is a man of slender means It’s hard enough to swallow all the mysteries Like who ascends to fly away And who descends with me, he said It’s you that comes to mind When I start to cry So give me all your time And leave the world behind

Call In The Exorcist 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Take a man with no soul for instance Let him loose on the younger man Soon you’ll see all the hearts of darkness Where there once ambitious plans And I swear that all I wanted was a part Tell your brother he’s here again But tell him now that he’s on the mend And bouncing back from a rude awakening He’s throwing up all those poison pens And I swear that all I wanted was a start Just let your mind recline Call in the exorcist Turn out the hands of time Call in the exorcist I’ve been full of doubt now for a while Call in the exorcist So throw away that selfish smile Call in the exorcist The architect of invisible cities Is beginning to see the light The night is falling the stars are calling He says he through with the 9 to 5 And I swear that all I wanted was your heart Just let your mind recline Call in the exorcist Turn out the hands of time Call in the exorcist Groovin’ high on strawberry wine Call in the exorcist Drift away to the other side Call in the exorcist

Deborah Said 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Deborah said My world is all matter of dreams Deborah said The real world holds nothing for me All that I read now are the parts inside those twisted scenes Act I Scene 5 to Act II Scene 7 etc., ad infinitum Deborah said Remember that night in October Deborah said The doorbell rang and no one answered We never said goodbye I never went away Remember all the times I hardly mentioned that Deborah said The real world is a haunted house Oliver said It’s the beginning of the end Bel Ami said The cat was gone the moon was out Deborah said Dear God forgive me and let my children Be happier than me

Over Now 02:48
lyrics
buy track
The rank and file Is bending at the knees The tortured smile Saying all of this, for me? It’s over now These tears aren’t make believe I told you how It’s all a mystery Out of a fever I rise And into a sea I walk out into the riptide And let it carry me It’s over now These tears aren’t make believe I told you how It’s all a mystery It’s easy to fly Eight miles higher than I want to be Behind the pale Bluest eyes I’ve ever seen Is a world gone wild Burning out with gasoline We’re older now Let’s all disappear It’s over now And become so crystal clear It’s over now And it’s not coming back again You tell your friends Resign now, resign now

Drifting In Gotham 02:56
lyrics
buy track
One time I went out to see How many more were like me It seemed at the time the number was low Then after some time it came To feel like we’re all the same Locking into one another's step Telling the world to go jump off a cliff Come on down to the courtyard You don’t know what you do to me Take my hand, let’s wander Out to find some meaning Mon cheri She wanted some remedy Some relief from Euripides All that time spent like a book on a shelf Let’s pretend, pretenders be Not one thing, but many things Marcher, sans fin... tonight Je vais là où le vent m'emmène Come on down to the courtyard You don’t know what you do to me Take my hand, let’s wander Out to find some meaning Allons-y Come on down to the courtyard You don’t know what you do to me Take my hand, let’s wander Out to find some meaning Le dérive Le dérive Le dérive Le dérive

Half A Mind 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Eleven to midnight, on the loose again Out of control, slouching towards Bethlehem How many more times will you run away Your motive is clear as your needles in the hay And your brother came out of the Treetops darling And your mother was waiting to throw him a line And he had Only half a mind Only half a mind Did Jesus walk the line? Now tell me All I’ve got is time You never wanted to return what’s only mine Said the judge and jury they were peeking from the blinds How can you lie while the cards come falling down You don't even listen to what’s going ‘round Out in the garden all the trees are buzzin And now I’ve Only half a mind I’ve only half a mind Jesus what a crime. You tell me They’re only friends of mine Nein! Nein!

Black Periscope Down 03:43
lyrics
buy track
One night under the waterfall You sent me into the light Rain o’er this world of extremities Wash all the fear from my eyes Alright, now that it’s said and done Who’ll make the first move and dive Down, down, then up like a periscope I’m searching for your higher ground I wanted to feel like a castaway left to the ocean But now that you came here on a gyre I have sent my emotions to you I wanted to feel like a castaway left to the ocean But now that you came here on a gyre I have sent my emotions to you Tonight under a moonlit sky And all the stars sparkler dim Your siren has given me second sight A reason to jump in again so, Black periscope down Black periscope down Black periscope down Black periscope down

Blast! 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Now the kids are grown Unaccompanied and stoned Missing all the signs She’s always out her mind And everyday seems just as dull as Dying on the vine One foot tripping up the other Two hands shaking like a drunkard Taking up all your semi-precious time Bottle rockets thrown Into our happy home Birds and feathers should never flock together Don’t declare it’s all for real You aren’t listening Bobby turned around and said You’ve been missing Jesus son it’s so much fun All the hours Buried in a booth in back A fifth of your Three Flowers I recommend, that you should go Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Changing both our minds One for my friend, Two for the road And three to forget all the details Missing all the signs

To Bed And Back 03:26
lyrics

Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down But I want it so bad This one time I just want to disappear But I want it so bad But blissed out fatalists reappear But I want it so bad It’s so great, but too late now they have come But I want it so bad And now the damage is done You met a man said he’d take your mind off it Told you stories only Rosie could tell Take off your glasses Look around Now you’re pushing up the daisies Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down Don’t rise, go back to bed, you’ll fall down

Beginning To Wonder 04:08
lyrics
buy track
You always walked alone You never felt at home Just outside of your own skin So you wondered Would I ever know a good thing If it ever appeared Sleep in your own disorder A haunted fall from grace Feel like an angel lost in the wind Once more take your time Tell me all that happened ‘Cause sooner than not this all goes away Sleep in your own disorder A haunted fall from grace Feel like an angel lost in the wind As a slaughter has its lamb So the computer will have its way And I’m beginning to wonder And now your tin soldiers have fallen down Looks like they really fell out of line So jump to the side, run for cover One, two, five, six, seven All good children go to hell Spitting out blood while you’re chewing up The back of a man as he falls to the ground Get out of the way, here’s the goon squad Partially naked, partially dead She’s sizing up switchblades for the back of his neck Without a sound he’s torn asunder
