Perfect Circle
media type="custom" key="24387364"

Put your hair back, we get to leave Eleven gallows on your sleeve Shallow figure, winner's paid Eleven shadows way out of place

Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

Pull your dress on and stay real close Who might leave you where I left off A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends Drink another, coin a phrase

Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room

Try to win and suit your needs Speak out sometimes but try to win

Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

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"

I saw a tree house 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"

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.

He piloted 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. Field to weed is lookin' 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"

Cuyahoga

Let's put our heads together and start a new country up Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This is where we walked, this is where we swam Take a picture here, take a souvenir

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed

This is where we walked, this is where we swam Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga Cuyahoga, gone

Let's put our heads together, start a new country up, Underneath the river bed we burned the river down This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang, Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga Cuyahoga, gone

Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith Bury, burn the waste behind you

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it We are not your allies, we can not defend

Gardening at Night

media type="youtube" key="bDy2KFE2kzI" height="315" width="420"

I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change. Though all 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 penitence. 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 change. The charge is changing every month. They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows. We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow. I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though all 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. They should know they've been there twice. The call was two and fifty one. They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though all the feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real. We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows. We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow. Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night

End of the World as We Know it media type="youtube" key="_eyFiClAzq8" height="315" width="420" 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, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength, The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped. Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and 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 towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down. Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier. Renegade 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 time I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) and I feel fine. (I feel fine)

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

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev. Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

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

Stand in the place that you live. - Stand, Green

Follow me, don't follow me. - Orange Crush, Green

It's a beautiful light. - Hairshirt, Green

Hairshirt

I am not the type of dog That could keep you waiting For no good reason Run a carbon-black test on my jaw And you will find it's all been said before I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest It's easier and better To just beat it from the chest Of desire

I could walk into this room And the waves of conversation are enough To knock you down in the undertow So alone, so alone in my life Feed me banks of light And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung It's a beautiful life And I can hang my hairshirt Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest

Or bury it at sea All my life I've searched for this Here I am, here I am in your life It's a beautiful life My life It's a beautiful life Your life

You are the Everything media type="youtube" key="YvImD7oUoi0" height="315" width="420" Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing I'm very scared for this world I'm very scared for me Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene You're in the back seat laying down The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end But slowly drifts into sleep The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone you are the everything I think about this world a lot and I cry And I've seen the films and the eyes But I'm in this kitchen Everything is beautiful And she is so beautiful She is so young and old I look at her and I see the beauty Of the light of music The voices talking somewhere in the house Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep With your teeth in your mouth You are here with me You are here with me You have been here and you are everything Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing I'm very scared for this world I'm very scared for me Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene You're in the back seat laying down The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end But slowly drifts into sleep The greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone you are the everything For you alone you are the everything

I took a picture that I'll have to send People here are friendly and content People here are colorful and bright The flowers often bloom at night

Amanita is the name The flowers cover everything The flowers cover everything

There's something here I find hard to ignore There's something that I've never seen before Amanita is the name they cover over everything

The flowers cover everything They cover over everything (Amanita is the name) The flowers cover everything

Don't look into the sun Don't look into the sun

There's something that I've never seen before <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: DroidSansRegular,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">The flowers often bloom at night <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: DroidSansRegular,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Amanita is the name they cover over everything

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand Of the power, the only vote that matters

Silence means security, silence means approval Watchin' Zenith on the TV, tiger run around the tree Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again like Martin Luthers in The mythology begins the begin

Answer me a question, I can't itemize I can't think clearly, look to me for reason It's not there, I can't even rhyme, begin the begin

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Example, the finest example is you

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again
