Lyrics

1. IRON CLAD LOU

Now he's alive, while he sees he knows he don't need a word from this fucking tease, he just needs some space and a lot of trees, a place to sleep, place to breathe.

Cruising out of third and strapped to the mountain side, reaching for the sun, it tells him something's right.
Come into my mind where I can't feel you.
The cat is in my head and I'm fucking wide awake.

Image in the sky tells me I'm not alive, smashing suns and you smashing out his brains, come into my mind where I can't feel you.
The cat is in my head and I'm fucking wide awake.

I win, I win, I win.
It sure gets lonely at the top, sure feels weird, you're falling out.
It sure gets lonely at the top.
I win, I win.



2. PINCH AND ROLL

So you think I've come alive, got my head out on the outside.
Yeah, I've worn you like a brick, yeah, now I'm sick.
I move in time, I hear your face, it's all over the place.
And everything I sing and do, fuck you.

I hear you've got a brand new beau, I hear he's lovely, white as snow.
He moves in time, he moves real nice, I swear to God that's my advice, it really makes the world unstick, yeah.
Mama taught me how to dance and pray, and I said okay.
Then, you made me feel like I was dead, maybe it's just in my head.

If I could live I'd be the one, I would live and toll on, yeah I would never kiss your ass, I don't know where it's at.
The complete derelicts in my life, I'm being really nice.
I've gone blind, I'm loosing teeth, I can't believe I'm a dirty old man who pissed on himself punching at a clock, screaming at the world I've healed.
Yeah I've healed.
Yeah I've healed.
Yeah, healed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.



3. Shovel

I failed in life, I failed in love.
I fail to see the humor in any of this, yeah, maybe more than you can know, an afterthought, I'm gonna go.

I failed in life, I failed in love, I fail to see, watch me any good at this.
Yeah, but I do shit, and I'm in charge, and you look upset I'm living large.
Yeah, I know that you stand by him, so roam, feel this one's supposed to persuade, that's my own.
I love you like no other, yeah, in time I'll use some space to wrap myself in my love and feel my face.

And cry, yeah, yeah, God help me cry.
Yeah, it comes on like a dream scene to which I haven't seen, and there you are, fuck yeah, yeah, yeah, there you are.

A little too simple, she is, I dance alone.
Feel this one's supposed to persuade, that's my own.
I love you like no other, yeah, in time I'll use some space to wrap myself in my love and feel my face.



4. PEWTER

Let's see how my day goes.
Let's see how my day goes.

She walks across on moonbeams.
She walks across on moonbeams.
Let's see how my day goes.
Let's see how my day...

You trust your heart to know what's real, but I've already spoken the words, mine.
The sun, the moons, and the plans we make, not to be, not take, for taking, it's all mine.

She walks across on moonbeams.
She walks across on moonbeams.

You trust your heart to know what's real, but I've already spoken the words, mine.
The sun, the moons, the plans we make, it's all been for the taking, it's all mine.



5. SCRAPER

I want to get stronger, yes I'm a gentle man, down waves and tiny arms, and a tiny voice that never said things quite right.
And here's a funny place to be now, things always come my way.
The sky is not so green as it seems, as it seems.

Two made a life of background noise, your voice just killing time, and this one fails to tell it all.
My life, it's slowed down to a crawl.

My love songs suck, yours make me cry, the world beneath you wonders why your wings never touch the ground, no matter how softly they seem.


My love songs suck, yours make me cry, the world beneath you wonders why.
I know I did, I know I do.
Can't you say I miss you too?
Just shut your eyes, love me too.
Shut your eyes, love me too.
Shut your eyes, love me too.
Shut your eyes, love me too.



6. FIREHEAD

She comes down with her hair on fire while I sleep, and I feel wider than, higher than you know.

She walks down with her wings on fire, if I could stand her I would lower down my buckets of love and rain, that feel me up with your simple touch, the words my Mom, I missed you so much, I espy everything you do.

Feel me up with your simple touch, the words my Mom, I missed you so much, I espy everything you do.
Mom I'm just a boy.
Mom I'm just a boy.
Mom I'm just a boy.
Mom I'm just a boy.
Mom I'm just a boy.
Mom I'm just a boy.
Mom I'm just a boy.



7. SUNDRESS

Flowers flying everywhere, dragon spruce is screaming in your hair.

You showed me you sundress last Sunday, it's yellow, red, black and white and gray.
You showed me your sundress last Sunday, no I don't like it, I don't like what you said.

If I was flying everywhere away from you, I don't think you could understand what I'm going through.

You showed me your sundress last Sunday, it's yellow, red, black and white and gray.
Yeah, you showed me your sundress last Sunday, no I don't like it, I don't like what you said.

In your arms you bring me down, no words in my head that can be found.
Yeah, she's all I want.
There are no arms to bring me down, no words in my head that can be found.
Yeah, she's all I want.
There are no arms to bring me down, no words in my head that can be found.
(That's it.)



8. DOUBLE DIP

Breathe through the top straw, and I'll hold you between breaths.
Lean into my lungs, and cry when it hurts too much.

Water's high, the water's high...
I know, my love.
The water's high, the water's high...
I know, my love.

Breathe through the top straw, and I'll hold you between breaths.
And lean into my lungs, and cry when it hurts too much.

The water's high, the water's high...
I know my love.
The water's high, the water's high...
I know my love.

Stand, deliver all, yeah and all the love you give while I stand on your blue shoulders.
And scream into my lungs, yeah but first, but first know what you've done, what you've done, what you've done.



9. WINDER

It's a lonely, twisted world spinning sickly on it's side.
I'm fried, and I can't sleep.
No, I haven't enjoyed the ride.

I'm just a white guy from the future, I'm completely out of touch.
I know that you're tired, but I never loved so much.



10. DIFFUSE

She lays her dead head back on my wet head, sleeping through the sound, I'll wake her when we're through.
The sun brown girl can see the way my heart is in it now, she rides a simple wave.

Over and over and over again the water leans towards me, it cleans my hands and head.
So please don't fill the hours of empty words and thoughts that fail to tell me what I've seen.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait on you.
So please don't bring my gun inside, heart is in it now, she rides a simple wave.
