Radio Free Europe

Decide yourself if radio's gonna stay.
Reason: it could polish up the grey.
Put that, put that, put that in your wall
That this isn't country at all

Radio station, decide yourself
 
Keep me out of country in the wood
Deal of (mumble, mumble) absurd.
Don't ask, don't ask, don't ask how you fuck
That they're pushing forest too far.

Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling out in a transit, calling out in a transit
Radio Free Europe, radio.
 
Decide defying media too fast
Instead of puting carbon up the wall
Push that, push that, push that up your wall
That this isn't nothing at all
 
Radio station, decide yourself
Calling out in a transit, calling out in a transit
Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Europe

Decide yourself, (calling all of the) calling all of those...
 
Keep me out of country in the wood
Reason it could follow up absurd.

Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling out in a transit, calling out in a transit
Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Europe

Calling out in a transit, calling out in a transit
Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Europe

Gardening At Night

I see your money on the floor.   I felt the pocket change through a hole.
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere it must be time for penitences.  Gardening at night is never where.
Gardening at night.  Gardening at night.  Gardening at night.
 
The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a church.
Georgia's changing every road.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

Ya' recollect the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
Better not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
I see your money on the floor.   I felt the pocket change through a hole.
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be too real.
Gardening at night.  Gardening at night.  Gardening at night 
 
Your sister said that you're too young.
She should know she's been there twice.
The call was two in fifty one.
They said it couldn't be arranged.
 
Ya' recollect the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
Better not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere it must be time for penitences.  Gardening at night is never where.
Gardening at night.  Gardening at night.  Gardening at night.

Talk About The Passion

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
 
Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion
 
Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Combien, combien, combien de temps?
 
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Combien, combien, combien de temps?

Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion

So, Central Rain

Did you never call?  I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river is a girl without a dream
 
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
 
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man wrote his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine
 
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Did you never call?  I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation's still
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Ohhh...
Ohhh...

(Don't Go Back To) Rockville

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
 
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
 
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
 
It's not as though I really need you
If you were here I'd only leave you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
(x2) 

Can't Get There From Here

When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Keep the clay that holds those teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go (by john)
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
He's mighty glad to visit home
 
(I've been there I know the way) 
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)

When your hands are feeling empty
Stick heads jumpin off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Run away, sing my song

(I've been there I know the way) 
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here, here, here, here (I've been there I know the way)

Hands down, Calechee bound
Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
 
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door

(I've been there I know the way) 
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)
I Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way)

(Uh, hum.  Thank 'ya Rick)

Driver 8

The walls are built up, stone by stone,
the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long"
 
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
(But it's still a ways away)

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing
 
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
(But it's still a ways away)
"But we're still a ways away" (But it's still a ways away)

Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.
 
Pilot did this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Fields of wheat is looking thin
 
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
(But it's still a ways away)
"But it's still a ways away" (But it's still a ways away)

Romance

Nations call
Par-parallels
Neighbors call
All in all in all in all in all

That's worth saving up for
Put our heads down on the chest
Mustn't even race for rest
Easy come, easy go

Easy come
Easy go
Easy come
Easy go

Stares conceal
Par-parallels
Neigh-neighbors call
All in all in all in all in all

That's worth saving up for
Put our heads down on the chest
Mustn't even race for rest
Easy come, easy go

Easy come
Easy go
Easy come
Easy go

Chance is yours
And call the shot
Even in a parking lot
With one romance
One romance

Easy come
Easy go
Easy come
Easy go

Neighbors call
Par-parallel
Late at night nations fall
All in all in all in all in all

That's worth saving up for
Put our heads down on the chest
Mustn't even race for rest
Easy come, easy go

Easy come
Easy go
Easy come
Easy go

(What?)

Fall On Me

There's a problem: feathers, iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
 
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
 
There's the progress we have found       (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem         (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight               (keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all                    (the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
 
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
 
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it home
 
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky

Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
(x2)

Fall on me, Don't fall....

The One I Love

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
 
Fire
Fire

 This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire   (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire   (she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love
 
Fire   (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire   (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire   (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire   (she's comin' down on her own)

Finest Worksong

The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
Your finest hour
Your finest hour
 
Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not beg to rhyme
Your finest hour
Your finest hour
 
Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused been confused
Your finest hour
Your finest hour
(x2)

Your finest hour
Your finest hour

It's The End Of The World As We Know It

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.  Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.  Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no.  Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height.  Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site.  Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck.  Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop.  Look at that low plane!  Fine then.  Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do.  Save yourself, serve yourself.  World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed.  Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right.  You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour.  Don't get caught in foreign tower.  Slash and burn,
return, listen to yourself churn.  Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting.  Every motive escalate.  Automotive incinerate.  Light a candle,
light a motive.  Step down, step down.  Watch a heel crush, crush.  Uh oh,
this means no fear - cavalier.  Renegade and steer clear!  A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies.  Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. 
(Time I had some time alone)
(x2)

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.  Mount St. Edelite.
Leonard Bernstein.  Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!  You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right?  Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...
(Time I had some time alone)
