Break-Ins

like the bolt through the door
slides open all easily
and the lights on the road
spread diamonds in front of me
the window in summertime
that we can leave up at night
so the sun through the shade
can light on the bed not made

Stubborn and Ready
01:59
|
|||
|
like children who sing to sleep the animals outside
reckless as fire they stay out all night
ignoring their mothers' cries
try to hold the notes of the old
although these be new times
stubborn and ready the shape that it takes
as it binds your legs to mine
i do not recognize

Dead Rabbits
02:42
|

left the ocean as it lie
for old blood in the mountains
and i bound my arms on my own
and found you kneeling at the fencepost
in the well-lit part of town
at one time was lined
o with bear traps and tiger stripes
and now the saints keep a watchful eye
and you sang
"there will come a day when the ground is more sturdy and
we won't need these clumsy limbs
to steady as our feet falter as they do"
but o my love hobbled and lame
dead rabbit on a cross
we can shed these names if only you want to
o my love hobbled and lame
dead rabbit on a cross
is it to be enough if you want to

Nevada

i want to whisper of the terror that has been
and all the wrong-doings to come
in the mouths of the youngest ones
pass on a long (with) which to sing
"i was born of a lion's jaw
no mother lays claim on me"
i will ravage i will envy and i will bite
i want to hold your head under water
until you know the size
of your burning lungs and my clumsy limbs
i held my breath on a rooftop in the west
looking out for the lights
i did stammer i did clatter and i did shy

House in Flames Part 2

when i finally saw the house up in flames
o i bent my knees and i turned my head and walked away
though nights i had dreamed of seeing black curls of smoke fill the sky
it turned to be too much too much of a sight
(pah)
now this wind brings ashes to my eyes
and i recognize all the birds, how they struggle in flight
and how they fold their wings about just so
to warm their young as the nightly wind starts to blow
and how those babes will never know such rest
once they've seen all the fires outside of the nest

Our Neighbor
02:35
|

|
we know not our neighbor
what he's doing tonight
we know not our neighbor
what he is doing that we can't get right
i know not the sound
the bell makes when you're not around
i only hear what you hear
only want to hear with you here
(woo)
we know not our neighbor
what he's doing tonight
we know not our neighbor
what he is doing that we can't get right
i know not the sound
the bell makes when you're not around
i only hear what you hear
only want to hear with you here

Bees
02:40
|
|||
|
i would gather the flowers
as you would harvest honey
in the backyard
in the summer's heat
you would anger the bees
who otherwise would sleep
and i heard swarming
on the floor in the kitchen
you would writhe all in pain
as i pulled the stingers
o-ho out with my teeth
and the blood and the poison
o-ho how they sheathed my tongue
and if ever a sweeter taste were tasted
as of yet it has not been sung
when i heard swarming

Ghost
03:41
|
|||
|
this is when the hammer hits the nail
this is when the train falls off its rails
and this is when i see the ghost
when your eyes are closed
the words he whispers in your ears
when your eyes are closed
words only he and i will hear
when your eyes are closed
and all the time that went
rolling hands in our laps
better could have been spent
chasing cars off their tracks
/and i can't love you i can't love you
no matter how long you'd stay
i can't love you i can't love you no
we share the same birthday/
