Citizen

I’m making time to be a citizen
I’m making time to be me
I’m gonna do the things life has asked
Won’t you be a citizen, please?
I’m making time to be a citizen
I’m making time to be me
I’m gonna do the things life has asked
Won’t you be a citizen, please?

Vanities

I’ve been feeling rather pushed
To come undone
To testify, ambush
Loving words is a disease
To make nations quake
Babies’ rattles shake
As United Nations
Blast Station to Station
Looking for the one to make it work
They’ve already found it
Afraid to lose, they’ve drowned and
Tried to open doors already shut
Lucy Fletcher, you’re so cool
But vanity has left the pool
Mother left her pearls behind
Father’s taken cover
And you, I’ve heard, have taken a lover
As United Nations
Blast Station to Station
Looking for the one to make it work
They’ve already found it
Afraid to lose, they’ve drowned and
Tried to open doors already shut
Lucy Fletcher, you’re so cool
But vanity has left the pool
Mother left her pearls behind
Father’s taken cover
And you, I’ve heard, have taken a lover
As United Nations
Blast Station to Station
Looking for the one to make it work
They’ve already found it
Afraid to lose, they’ve drowned and
Tried to open doors already shut

Howl

Government status
Hangs over you
Like a permanent fixture
Of digesting food
Indelible to
Your country, your crew
Is a nation’s idea
Gone all askew
Roll the camera
To calm your nerves
Think of the esteem
Looking back on your oeuvre
The king won’t die
He’ll never die
Until the howling wolf
Looks up at the sky and howls
Another holiday sunset
Me and my baby are free
Another afternoon daydream
On a train without luxury
The dream is over
The dream is over
The dream is over
The dream is over

Restless

Throw me down a staircase
Spin me round a playground
Again and again
Again and again
Restless encounters
And holiday greetings
Again and again
Again and again
Can you square with the silence?
Can you square with the throne?
Can you imagine a future without
Intelligence, fully grown?
Can you prove capability?
Won’t the prophetess come?
Can you get through life
Without a profit incentive?
What if love was an antidote
To the world all around
What if gestures
Were the true currency?
Abandon the day
Throw it down and shatter it
Again and again
Again and again
Can you square with the silence?
Can you square with the throne?
Can you imagine a future without
Intelligence, fully grown?
Can you prove capability?
Won’t the prophetess come?
Can you get through life
Without a profit incentive?
Can you square with the silence?
Can you square with the throne?
Can you imagine a future without
Intelligence, fully grown?
Can you prove capability?
Won’t the prophetess come?
Can you get through life
Without a profit incentive?
Can you square with the silence?
Can you square with the throne?
Can you imagine a future without
Intelligence, fully grown?
Can you prove capability?
Won’t the prophetess come?
Can you get through life
Without a profit incentive?

Love

I don’t want to be a part
Of the rest of the world
I just wanna be a part of you
A living, breathing
Desperately fleeting
Natural part of you
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
I wanna be an extension
Of you and nothing else
I don’t wanna be a person
I don’t wanna walk around
A loving, dreaming
Never careening
Natural part of you
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
And the love comes back to stay
And the love comes back for a day
And the love comes back to live a life
That’s four chords, day and night
That’s right, that’s right, that’s right
And the love comes back to stay
And the love comes back for a day
And the love comes back to live a life
That’s four chords, day and night
That’s right, that’s right, that’s right
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
And the love comes back to stay
And the love comes back for a day
And the love comes back to live a life
That’s four chords, day and night
That’s right, that’s right, that’s right
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin
This is what it feels like
On the best days
Nothing else around us
But the dust from our skin

Utopians

The radical chic
Is a bountiful sight
When the arbiter cometh
Depressed but delighting
In moderation
But that train has left the station
While burning the flag
At the flag-burning party
Remembering how
The old anthem was started
You found their wondrous regime
To be terribly, lavishly mean
These are not problems
Of last century
These are the things of today
But the soul will live on
As the priest rips a bong
And the singer realizes he’s
Had it all wrong, all wrong
These are not problems
Of last century
These are the things of today
But the soul will live on
As the priest rips a bong
And the singer realizes he’s
Had it all wrong, all wrong
