Selfish 02:56
Look at the blue sky And say “how blue the sky is” Choose that every day Weekends off again The first time in six years In a different world Melancholy Is better than the void Almost all the time It’s not selfish to be a person It’s not selfish to be in love You may choose a life of mystery But you’ll never have the snake without the dove It’s not selfless to be soft It’s not selfless to be weak You may choose a life of charity And still find dust wherein you seek A sickly sweetness Dictating my tastebuds Before I close your mouth To kiss it and be Aware, alive, and Awake to love, paying some Attention while I Can; while we sit here, Looking at the ceiling and Neither smiling nor Frowning nor thinking, Pondering only the lack Of thoughts consistent, Crushing us Chloroform coming It’s not selfish to be a person It’s not selfish to be in love You may choose a life of mystery But you’ll never have the snake without the dove It’s not selfless to be soft It’s not selfless to be weak You may choose a life of charity And still find dust wherein you seek

Concrete 02:53
A prisoner is free if enlightened But a prophet can’t be involved at all For it’s better to sit and do nothing Than to crush the dove as it falls You want me to call you my brother But I’ve always seen us as enemies The only thing more suspicious than artists Is a man who takes on friendship for free Concrete inspires the mind And mountains only paralyze But when we’ve finished breathing life The seascapes will dissolve ‘Cause it’s bad for the eyes to look at the sun And it’s cowardice to run But to run toward the truth next to you Is probably noble and possibly cool And you try and you try To survive, stay alive, But you’re empty, Defeated, Depleted, And scathed And you try and you try To survive, stay alive, But you’re empty, Defeated, Depleted, And scathed Concrete inspires the mind And mountains only paralyze But when we’ve finished breathing life The seascapes will dissolve ‘Cause it’s bad for the eyes to look at the sun And it’s cowardice to run But to run toward the truth next to you Is probably noble and possibly cool

Way 03:28
I made a movie Pointed the camera at the water and rolled Speed sound It was only About the way The light reflects off the water today Speed sound And the way And the way And the way it goes Now we can grow Now we can grow And the way And the way And the way it goes Now we can grow Now we can I took A picture Pointed the lens at the sun and clicked Reload It was only About the way The sun shakes my hand and invites me to Meet it man to man And the way And the way And the way it goes Now we can grow 
Now we can grow And the way And the way And the way it goes Now we can grow Now we can

Undone 09:49
Madness feels left out Since being throttled by two Well-known Austrians Pure enemies, not friends Disastrous beyond repair Soldiers whittle in snow And wait for the drums To run, run, run, run, let them go 
Lovers on the run Lovers on the run Far as they can go They’re coming undone Lovers on the run Lovers on the run They can only go so far Paranoia feels left back In a century not my own Under threat of nuclear war Exchanged for numbness and boredom Come on, honey These aren’t our people It’s just not our scene As far as these things go They’re just so last century Lovers on the run Lovers on the run Far as they can go They’re coming undone Lovers on the run Lovers on the run They can only go so far Rambling, rambling, partly expressing, Collaging the world around Is a better way to talk than in faultless platitudes Oh my, oh my, the engaged can’t summarize Why the ikon on the wall Makes them shake, makes them fall As parents try to stall Lovers on the run Lovers on the run Far as they can go They’re coming undone Lovers on the run Lovers on the run They can only go so far Lovers on the run Lovers on the run Far as they can go They’re coming undone Lovers on the run Lovers on the run They can only go so far

Amsterdam 04:01
I’m in no condition To make plans and provisions To look at life From the balcony I can only measure The guilt and the pleasure The silences Gifted each day When I’m focused on the light Not from stars but truth And you’re here beside me And I’m next to you In a punk-rock move On a postwar day Training from Amsterdam to The Hague I’ll try I hate when grown men dress like you I love when grown men cry Look at life from the balcony And never question why In a devious move On a postwar day Training from Amsterdam to The Hague I’ll try When the marriage is spent And taxes are paid And the king in his high court Depreciates And the power’s gone out The savages roam And the medical bill Means early hospice at home I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try

Maria 03:38
Madhouse Shakes her to the core Another dead Suffragette Damned to dance No more Whining Harpies stab the night Another dead Cigarette Fighting The good fight You can Throw it all around This story’s not yours to tell Calling for advanced arrangements I see All the mystery Curiosity’s mine for the taking It’s worth another citation Maria I’ve got an idea Maria I think it’s sound Maria I’ve got an idea Maria I think it’s sound You can Throw it all around This story’s not yours to tell Calling for advanced arrangements I see All the mystery Curiosity’s mine for the taking It’s worth another citation

Highways 03:25
Hide in the back seat Dance in the front until Beggars come begging And pissing punks egging you on Highway at night I’ll need to get Moving along to Catch a twelve thirty flight It feels so good It feels so fine To be down for the count And totally alive And not just wrong But wholly incorrect And turning away With nothing left Espionage We’re getting away With something much better Than the hit parade It feels so good It feels so fine To be down for the count And totally alive And not just wrong But wholly incorrect And turning away With nothing left It feels so good It feels so fine To be down for the count And totally alive And not just wrong But wholly incorrect And turning away With nothing left

Invisible 02:44
Wind is gonna take me And I am gonna fly A painting between the wars Of shock and desperate cries Rabble rousing, taking Keys as they appear to you In your linty pocket Listen and I’ll hear you, too I cannot trust you I cannot bear To kindle friendship With despair I cannot see straight And can’t deny Invisible Oh, I’ve got magic eyes Pillowed by the gusts of wind Carrying me through air I drift through pre-war pictures Tearing out my hair Trust-embedded coding Fathers down to sons Some ambitious yearnings Can’t be all for fun I cannot trust you I cannot bear To kindle friendship With despair I cannot see straight And can’t deny Invisible Oh, I’ve got magic eyes I cannot trust you I cannot bear To kindle friendship With despair I cannot see straight And can’t deny Invisible Oh, I’ve got magic eyes
