Intro

Verse

It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live

and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now

You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?

I lay right down

Chorus

All your sad and lost apostles

hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

now I'm not one to sit and spin

because living well's the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

Verse

Don't turn your talking points on me.

History will set me free

The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!

So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it

You weakened shill.

Chorus

All your sad and lost apostles

hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

now I'm not one to sit and spin

because living well is the best revenge

and baby, I am calling you on that

Verse

You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again

Camera three... GO NOW!

Chorus

All your sad and lost apostles

hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

now I'm not one to sit and spin

because living well is the best revenge

and baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on that

End on B

LETTER NEVER SENT

Tuned guitar down 1/2 step

Intro

After the beginning part there are these series of chords :

And then the chorus:

Heaven's yours Heavens yours Heavens yours...etc

There there is this part:

When I'm moving too fast Where's my new address?

Lyrics:

It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me

And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind

Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live

The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home

This letter never sent

And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?

The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in

If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark

And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost

And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Staring Down The Barrel of The Middl Distance

Verse

E D2 x However many times necessary

Pre-chorus chords

A5 G5 x How ever many times necessary

Chorus chords

x2

(All these patterns just happen many times over)

Now the hope for the future took a pounding in the parking lot

And the answer for today is all I got

When your name is called the lights went down

The time is the essence excuse me

And I'm blinking at the vanishing point of what I thought

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I greet despair to a standard prayer

If you call for the future I don't care

And I turn you round to face me here

There's a compass raised with a familiar tone

With a voice that needles me to the bone

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Whose position shifts cause its been effect

If you can't hit play cause the button sticks

Ignorance is bliss, I can't say

There's a compass raised with familiar tone

With a voice that needles you to the bone

You're left with chaos, static and delay

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

DISTURBANCE AT THE HERON HOUSE (Version 1)

(Solo taken from Wayne Ellis' version)

Dsus2

"The followers of chaos out of control

They're numbering the monkeys

The monkeys and the monkeys,"

The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to Party Central

"Meeting of the green and simple,"

Try to tell us something we don't know

"They're meeting at the monument,"

The call came in the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

"They've gathered up the cages the cages and courageous,"

The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to Party Central

"Meeting of the green and simple,"

Try to tell us something we don't know

"Disturbance at the Heron House"

A stampede at the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

The gathering of grunts and greens

Cogs and grunts and hirelings

A meeting of a mean idea to hold

"When feeding time has come and gone

They'll lose the heart and head for home

Try to tell us something we don't know"

Everyone allowed, Everyone allowed

Mr. Richards, your position is a messenger pigeon,

left behind you when the camp moved on.

You thought that you had listened but the words had never crystallized,

into a truth that you might own, hey hey

Chorus

Mr Richards your decision, pay attention pay attention

Verse

Mr. Richards your forgiven for a narrow lack of vision,

but the firesare still raging on...

The public's got opinions and these consequences border on the compound that

razed where zealots sang, hey, hey

Chorus

Mr. Richards, your decision, pay attention, pay attention

Bridge

So listen, your intention, sign the paper, stamp the ribbon,

You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget.

You can thump your chest and rattle, stand in front of your piano but,

We know, what's going on, Yes, we know what's going on,

We're the children of the choir hey,

And we know what's going on.

Verse

Mr. Richards your conviction, had us cheering in the kitchen,

now the jury's eating pigeon pie,

So tell me how is prison, have they taught you how to listen?,

We've begun to bridge the schism, pay attention pay attention,

Chorus

Mr. Richards your decision, pay attention, pay attention.

In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he

strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the

next chord.

If the storm doesn't kill me

the government will

I've gotta get that out of my head

It's a new day today and the coffee is strong

Fill11

I finally got some rest

So a man's put to task and challenges

I was taught to hold my head high

Collect what is mine,

Make the best of what today has

* * Fill2

Houston is filled with promise

Laredo's a beautiful place

* * Fill2

and Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

And so there are claims forgiven

And so there are things that are gone

Houston is filled with promise

Laredo is a beautiful place

and Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

And some things, they fall to the wayside

Their memory is yet to be stilled

Belief has not failed me

And so I am put to the test

New Test Leper

I can't say that I love Jesus

that would be a hollow claim.

He did make some observations

and I'm quoting them today.

"Judge not lest ye be judged."

what a beautiful refrain.

The studio audience disagrees.

Have his lambs all gone astray?

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

"You are lost and disillusioned!"

what an awful thing to say.

I know this show doesn't matter.

It means nothing to me.

I thought I might help them understand

but what an ugly thing to see.

"I am not an animal"

subtitled under the screen.

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

:

When I tried to tell my story

They cut me off to take a break.

I sat silent 5 commercials

I had nothing left to say

The talk show host was index-carded

All organized and blank

The other guests were scared and hardened

What a sad parade.

What a sad parade

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Let's put our heads together

Man-Sized Wreath

Intro and Break

Riff1

Turning on the TV and what do I see?

A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wow!

I’d have thought by now we would be ready to proceed

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart

And a man-sized wreath – ow!

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air

Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh

Give me some

Wave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air

A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – ow!

Nature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?

Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts

A headlights and a deer – ow!

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air

Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh

Give me some

Riff1

Well I’m not deceived by pomp and odious conceit

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart

And a man-sized wreath-ow!

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air

Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh

Look at what I’ve found

Everybody look around

Everybody looking like they just don’t care

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air

Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh

Give me some

Give me some

Give me some

So. Central Rain

Intro

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 there 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 built 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.

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 dimmed.

Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Verse

On the Fly

You said that loving me was falling off a log

You always had a way with words

I"m in a barrel over Niagra Falls

I wonder if I am defaced

If I asked of you just one wish

Would you turn on me and take the fifth

Your off again on some epic celebration

Shooting barrels full of fish

You found another hole to waltz into

You found another car to crash

I figured if out that if you served me up

Another of this shall pass

Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside

We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly

Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside

We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly

And I just happened by

I stood there naked by the trains again

Frozen stock still in the yard

A Heron waiting for the fish to jump

I never let down my guard

I"ve been exclusive when it comes to you

I don"t receive at all

I wished I felt the same when you called me late

I almost wished you didn"t call

God knows what I"m looking for

And God knows what I am

Cause Even Jesus had his reservations

I won"t be doubting you again

I won"t be doubting you again

Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside

We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly

Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside

We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly

And I just happened by

I"m living my life, I"m here on the fly

And I just happened by

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.

Called the fool and the company,

On his own where he'd rather be.

Where he ought to be, he sees what you can't see, can't you see that?

Maybe he's caught in the legend

maybe he's caught in the mood.

Maybe these maps and legends

Have been misunderstood.

Down the way the road's divided,

Paint me the places you have seen.

Those who know what I don't know

refer to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend

maybe he's caught in the mood.

Maybe these maps and legends

Have been misunderstood.

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. (4 times)

The map that you painted didn't seem real.

He just sings whatever he's seen

Point to the legend, point to the east,

Point to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend,

maybe he's caught in the mood.

Maybe these maps and legends

Have been misunderstood, been misunderstood. (Maps and legends)

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 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"

Way to seal the hated heat.

Way to put myself to sleep.

Way to shield the hated heat.

Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.

"Horse To Water"

I could have kept my head down

I might have kept my mouth shut

I should have held my own,

You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

SAME PROGRESSION AGAIN:

You're only as big as your battles.

Rattle my cage with your shadow.

I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,

Don't you know that what comes around goes around?

I'm not that easy,

I am not your horse to water.

I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

VERSE PROGRESSION AGAIN:

Don't darken my doorstep again,

You're mixing up living in chin-chin,

You're mixing up lose with win-win,

You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

You stumble on glass top table,

TV's chewing shock-gone cable

Pump me up a beanstalk fable

And I'll call this entertainment

'cause Humpty's falling down.

Chorus

I'm not that easy,

I am not your horse to water.

I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

It's not that easy

You threw the thread and throttle let us raise another bottle

Raise another bottle, raise another bottle

Because death is pretty final, I'm collecting vinyl

I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

THESE DAYS

Now I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales

If I can, and I can

March into the ocean, march into the sea

I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down,

yanked it up, slapped it on my head

All the people gather

Fly to carry each his burden

We are young despite the years we are concern

We are hope despite the times

All of the sudden, these days

Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever....

I wish to meet each one of you

And you, me, you, if I can and I can

We have many things in common, name three (three, three, three)

I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,

yanked it up, slapped it on my head

All the people gather

Fly to carry each his burden

We are young despite the years we are concern

We are hope despite the times

All of the sudden, these days

Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.

Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales

If I can and I can

All the people gather

Fly to carry each his burden

We are young despite the years we are concern

We are hope despite the times

FEELING GRAVITY'S PULL

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around

Peel back the mountains peel back the sky

Stomp gravity into the floor

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

Let me show you what I can do with it

Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed

When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it said

"You can't do this", I said "I can too"

Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed

When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

holding my head straight (looking down).

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around

Shift the swaying river's shift

Oceans fall and mountains drift

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

Let me show you what I can do with it

Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed

When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

holding my head straight (looking down).

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

Reason had harnessed the tame

Holding the sky in their arms

Gravity pulls me down

Intro

The battle's been lost, the war is not won

An addled republic, a bitter refund

The business first flat earthers licking their wounds

The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins

Providence blinked, facing the sun

Where are we left to carry on

Until the day is done

Until the day is done

As we've written our stories to entertain

These notions of glory and bull market gain

The teleprompt flutters, the power surge brings

An easy speed message falls into routine

Providence blinked, facing the sun

Where are we left to carry on

Until the day is done

Until the day is done

A voice whispers "Son,

The blessed vision comes."

What have I done

What have I done

So hold tight your babies and your guns

Forgive us our trespasses, father and son

Providence blinked, facing the sun

Where are we left to carry on

Until the day is done

Until the day is done

Until the day is done

(Verse chords)

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet

No time to argue with belief

I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping

Faster than me

What put me here?

Nothing to hold on to

Nowhere to brake

(Chorus Chords)

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?

Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?

No time to question the choices I make

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler)

(Verse chords)

The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs

I threw the window open in challenge and despair

I don't know what I needed

I needed time

I needed to escape

I saw the future turn

Upside-down and hesitate.

(Chorus Chords)

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?

Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?

No time to question the choices I make

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I've got to follow another direction

Accelerate.

(Verse chords)

The vista I see now is changing

Uncertainty is suffocating

Our hope has never felt so great and

Lit up down

A pounding pulse

To make it go

Make it slow down,

(Chorus Chords)

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?

Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?

No time to question the choices I make

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I've got to follow another direction.

(Verse chords)

The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode

Accelerate to make it slow

Make it go

Accelerate to make it slow

Make it go

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I'm incomplete

I'm incomplete

I'm incomplete.

AUCTIONEER (ANOTHER ENGINE) (Version 2)

(During the intro and breakdown, Peter sticks to this. During the verse,

however,

he adlibs a bit and instead of hitting the second "7" of the riff, he will

substitute

by hitting the high E string or some other random note.)

Lis-ten, lis-ten to the auc-tion-eer. A-no-ther en-gine, a-no-ther en-gine.

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town

Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime

Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

What is at the other end, I don't know another friend

Another wife, another morning spent

Listen, listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained

Some things are givens, and others get away

This time its for myself you call it what you may

Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more

Listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine

Listen to the bargain holler

Listen to the barter holler

Listen to the auctioneer

Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime

Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

What is at the other end, an I don't know another friend

Another wife, another morning spent

Listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine

Another engine, another engine

Do I stand the bargain holler?

Listen to the barter holler

Lyrics:

I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty

Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again

Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback

Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,

The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,

The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings?

Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?

Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season

Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?

The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,

The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost

The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,

A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer

Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback

Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,

Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game

Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,

The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,

The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,

The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

Everybody here ... comes from somewhere

... That they would just as soon forget and disguise

Disguised is a Made up Feeling

No one saw your face, no one saw your fear

If that apparition, it just appeared

Took you up and away from this space

In sheer humiliation, of your teenage station

Nobody cares, no one remembers

And nobody cares

No one cares if your fantasies

Are dressed up in travesties

Enjoy yourself with no regrets, uh uh

If you call out safe, then I'll stop right away

If the premise explodes, and the rope starts to shake

For the detail's marked, but the story's the same

You don't have to explain, you don't have to explain

Humiliation ... of your teenage station

And you realize your fantasies

Are dressed up in travesties

Enjoy yourself with no regrets, uh uh

Everybody here ... comes from somewhere

... That they would just as soon forget ... a disguise

Disguised is a Made up Feeling

At the summer camp where you volunteered

No one saw your face, no one saw your fear

If that apparition, it just appeared

Took you up and away from this space

In sheer humiliation, of your teenage station

The celebration! Of the teenage station

Nobody cares, no one remembers

And nobody cares

Worst Joke Ever

Intro

You see there's this cat burglar who can't see in the dark.

He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar.

Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife, says:

'I don't know what I've done, but it doesn't feel right!' / |

Some things don't hold up over the course of a lifetime, __|

Oooohhhh...

When's the first time you heard that one, 1954?

Get to the punch line. fall to the floor.

Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup for __

The worst joke ever, I never /

I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story |__|

Don't bore me

Now I am floating,

I feel released.

The moorings have been dropped,

The weights unleashed. /|

Everything is crystalline, simple and free. / |

Oooohhhh... |

The crime of good men who can't wrestle with change, __|

Or are too afraid to face this life's misjudged unknowns

You're not hurting anybody else's chances,

But you're disfiguring your own.

__

Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup for | |

The worst joke ever, I never /

I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story /

Don't bore me, I NEVER |__|

__

Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup | |

Oooohhhh... /

You see there's this feeling that I've heard this one before /

HARBORCOAT (Version 1)

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shoes on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT"

/F#m G#m/ x 3 F#m7

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

Then we danced the dance till the menace got out

She gathered the corners and called it her gown

Please find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shoes on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT", R-E-A-C-T

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

Then we danced the dance till the menace got out

She gathered the corners and called it her gown

She said...

I'VE BEEN HIGH

Fade in on C

Verse

Have you seen? Have not will travel

Have I missed the big reveal?

Do my eyes, do my eyes seem empty?

I've forgotten how this feels

Chorus

I've been high, I've climbed so high

That light sometimes it washes over me

Have you been? Have done will travel

I fell down on my knees

Was I wrong? I don't know, don't answer.

I just needed to believe.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

So I dive into a pool so cool and deep

that if I sink I sink and when I swim I fly so high.

What I want, what I really want is

Just to live my life on high.

And I know, I know you want the same

I can see it in your eyes.

Repeat Chorus

Washes over me

Close my eyes

So I can see

Make my make believe believe in me.

(or instead of )

Who will stand alone?

. She carried ribbons, she wore them out

Courage built a bridge, . jealous tore it down

. At least it's something . you've left behind

. Like Kohoutek, . you were gone

We sat in the garden, we stood on the porch

I won't deny myself, . we never talked

She wore bangles, she wore bells

On her toes and she jumped like a fish

Like a flyin' friend, you were gone

Like Kohoutek, can't forget that

Fever built a bridge, reason tore it down

If I am one to follow... [solo guitar enters]

Maybe you're not the problem

scissors, paper, stone

If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk

She carried ribbons, she wore them out

Michael built a bridge...Michael tore it down

At least it's something you've left behind ek, you were gone

Michael built a bridge... Michael tore it down

If I stand and holler... will I stand alone?

WEST OF THE FIELDS

Long gone, intuition to assume are gone when we try.

Dream of a living jungle in my way back home when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.

Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. West of the fields.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try

Tell now what is dreaming

When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify

The animals, how strange. Try, try to stick it in.

The animals, how strange. Try, try to stick it in.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try

Tell now what is dreaming when we try.

Listen through your eyes when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.

Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. West of the fields.

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.
