I need to understand, Where you come from, Where's your friend? Do you do the things you do, Just because you can? I really need to know, Which way the river flows. Is it upstream in my mind, Or down stream in my bed? I saved your life, you say. Well, I meant to do it anyway. You were probably too drunk to notice, And I'm too drunk to care. I think I just got stabbed, But I don't have time for that. I've got better things to do, Then bleed to my own death. I really need to find, The fear that's buzzing in my mind, And get myself a quiet place.

Trip of the wall I'm bound to fall The floor is cold You know I really don't mind Being afraid This day and age Cus' being brave Is such a waste of my time Oh… and if I get back home Oh… please be so kind Oh… I said I'll change before But this morning, oh I will. I do regret I did forget Your wedding date Well, I wish you good luck Cus' I realized We criticize And circumcise The need of being belonged Oh… and if I don't get home Oh… please know I tried Oh… I said I'll change before But this morning… oh, I will.

Please, don't hung up so fast, This calling card ain't gonna last. And lately I've been feeling blue, When I try to reach you through. Oh, I traveled a thousand miles, Still I can not tell you why – There are million things to do out there, But I just lay around and stare These broken bottles, These broken bottles, These broken bottles, On the floor. So darling, don't you cry, You know I'm not that modern guy. I bite and chew more then I could take, but still I end up working late. These broken bottles, These broken bottles, These broken bottles, On the floor. Honey, I can't set you free It really isn't up to me. You ain't gonna wait no more, Well I can't make it through that door. These broken bottles, These broken bottles, These broken bottles, On the floor.

Dream Beans 03:47
When the four winds blow down eureka springs, I'll be blowing empty leaves on maple streets. And when I'll ask myself how come you never run Myself would say: you know I'm not that one And it's more, more than I can take Inspiration never waits. When the Mississippi mud turns blue again, I'll be swimming naked with the river man. And when I finally realize what blue third means, I'll be home again, in search of lima beans. And it's more, more than I can take Inspiration never waits.

Modern Caves 04:36
It lost it's eyesight, It seems the right size, To skin him dead and His flesh would keep us warm. Why is the door shut? Why is there no light? Just give us something so we won't long for home. Let's grab that long pole And ram a big hole Into that brick wall, and the flies be buzzing out. Look at the sunrise, It's burning my eyes, We better stay in so we won't end up alone. It gotten so late, It must be our fate, We are nothing but lies like the waves upon the shore.

Kick the bucket, At my knees. Kick the bucket, At my knees. Oh lord Help me please Oh lord I need help, please I'm at ease. Send me down, To German-town. Sunflower river, Goes underground. Oh lord… Help me please Oh lord… I need help, please I'm at ease.

Mexico 02:44
Tell her to pack lot's of things, and Make sure we got gasoline, cuz' We're going to Mexico Though no-one seems to know - How to get to that hidden state And I can't think while drinking straight. Tell her to buy some shoes, and Get rid of those morning modes, cuz' No pit stops down the road, Don't care what her mother told - 'bout outcomes and dead-end fates, And I can't think while drinking straight Tell her I broke my leg, and Find another man instead, cuz' I'll never leave this room and I'll never fix that wound That came out of this empty crate And I can't drink while thinking straight. Tell her I loved her so, and Don't cry as I watch you go, cuz' No use of milking cowards, If the milk never sours – And the hour, is oh so late And I can't drink while thinking straight And I can't think while drinking can't drink while thinking can't think while drinking straight…

Next Incline 04:03
Here come the wake up noises Here comes a long gray veil Here comes the daily breakfast Of coffee cups and traffic jams Here comes a sunny morning Here comes safe hoariness Here comes a lonely winter Up the spine and through the brain Here comes the pain. Here comes a tall dark beggar Here comes the best of friends Here comes a sweet sweet promise turned out sour in the end Here comes the pain.

Pick up the phone, Pick up the phone, Is there something going on? Sun is down, Sun is down, And not a call returned. I hope you're not lying in a ditch by the road. Pick up the phone. Your mother's gone, Your mother's gone, She left me, all alone. I'm safe and sound Safe and sound, In this full-grown storm. The devils got you son, Stuck in a hole on the ground. Oh look what I've done. Pick up the phone, pick up the phone. Is there something going wrong? Where are you now? Where are you now? The devils got you son, Stuck in a hole on the ground. Oh look what I've done.

4th Wall 04:15
It's not quite the wall, And it's not quite the bed. But I'm stuck, child, and I don't know. Let it go, child, let it go. No longer sense the taste, The point, and all the rest But it's fine, child, it's comfortable. Let it go, child, but don't let go. Don't know why I'm so unstable, My legs are willing and able, But my soul just falls apart.

Mori's Song 03:59
You never wake up alone, Always hand out a smile, To those who ask, And just set the records straight. You never pick up the phone, Always turn up late And contemplate, About the Christ in every man, And then pretend, You never came, So they could say: It takes a special kind of friend to reach the end, But please understand, Don't grab my hand, And never trust the holy gracious medley band. You never stay in one place, Always up on your toes, All in good faith, But then everybody knows, You never meant to stay, And you're just the same. Said you'll change, But once again it is six-o-five Am, So storm the gate, And please refrain, From taking the girl of another man, Unless you can, Keep telling lies, And blame sweet Jane, or was it Bill, I was never good with names. But please understand, Don't grab my hand, And never trust the holy gracious medley band, Never trust the holy gracious medley…

Thus ends the show No flashing parties No fireworks Just me and you in a car That should have been sold That should have never been bought We are last in the line Of fallen men, who froze in time And it's not talent, it's just bad luck We rather drive, than admit we got stuck In a moment In our prime Like a child with old stale toys This is what we came to do Now enjoy Oh my worried Blues, Fuelled with guilt and unpaid dues Oh my selfish luck Take away this driver's block Oh my reckless car, Who am I talking to? Oh my reckless car, Just the radio… In a moment…
