1.Intro

There are children whirling laughing
They don't know they should be scared
Give me that hope
give me time to love

high above the glowing city
Planes make circles humming madly
Please keep me safe
Give me time to love

All I can do
all I can say
I'll keep you safely in my arms
and close your ears to not hear harm
I'll sing to you


2.Honey

Spin your body around
Now your feet are gonna hit the ground
I am going sleepless in your out of lullaby
Honey honey honey you're the death of me
Won't stop holding my hands
Baby baby baby you'll never let me
You've got a dark heart

You've got a cold kiss
You want my love my love
My love
(You want my love)
Everybody's breakin' and everytime you start shakin'
Don't come calling my name
Everybody's bawlin' every time you come-a-calling
I want you to know
Honey honey you are the first one
Darling darling around my door
Honey honey you'll never let me
You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss
You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss
You want my love my love
My love
(You want my love)
Always turning back to you
You never let me down
Loving your illusions
Staring at a crooked crown

You always let me down

You always let me down

You always let me down

You want my love my love
my love
(You want my love)
Honey honey honey you're the death of me
Honey honey honey will you ever see


3.Medicine Man

Medicine man dancing across the country
Medicine man dancing across the sky
Medicine man now my feet are dragging
Medicine man can you hear my cry
I don't want to be
The one the one the one that you forget
I don't I don't I don't just want to be your regret
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Medicine man I lay my head in your hands
Medicine man you will clear my mind
Medicine man can you heal my body
Medicine man can you hear my cry
I don't want to be
The one the one the one that you forget
I don't I don't I don't just want to be your regret
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to break the bottle I'm living in
Do any thing to take away the memory of him
Can't you see that I have no way out
Don't leave me now

Medicine man clear my mind
Medicine man oooh
Medicine man hear my cry
Medicine man oooh
Medicine man you are here in my mind
Medicine man oooh
Medicine man hear my cry
Medicine man ooooh
Medicine man medicine man
Medicine man ooooh


4.The Boys Are Too Refined

The boys who kiss and bite
They are the brilliant ones who speak
and write with silver luck
They sing in clever tongues
Oh how my knees go weak to be the one
she kicks and bucks
Always quick to follow
The boys are too refined
Won't matter tomorrow
Oh to be in his mind
And if the timing is right
to sneak off into the night
I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill
And if I'm given the chance
to be a doll in his hands
I will be sure we shake the mountains while we dance

To daddy singing sweet
a lullaby to all his credit speak
his golden light
to the edge with a car
he sent it off a cliff just for the spark
to hell with why
Always quick to follow
The boys are too refined
Won't matter tomorrow
Oh to be in his mind
And if the timing is right
to sneak off into the night
I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill
And if I'm given the chance
to be a doll in his hands
I will be sure we shake the mountains while we dance

And if the timing is right
to sneak off into the night
I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill
And if I'm given the chance
to be a doll in his hands
I will be sure we shake the mountains while we dance
And if the timing is right
to sneak off into the night
I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill
And if I'm given the chance
to be a doll in his hands
I will be sure we shake the mountains while we dance


5.Hurricane

Send out the morning birds to sing of the damage
Now that the calm's returned
I know I can't manage
You're standing in my doorway
though he's asleep in my bed
The steady murmur
always in my head
You're the finest thing that I've done

the hurricane I'll never outrun

I could wait around for the dust to still

but I don't believe that it ever will

And since the roof fell in
I'll lean on what matters
Caught in the slightest wind
everything else unravels
You're standing in my doorway seven cities ago
The days are racing
but you come back too slow
You're the finest thing that I've done

the hurricane I'll never outrun

I could wait around for the dust to still

but I don't believe that it ever will

You're the finest thing that I've done

the hurricane I'll never outrun

I could wait around for the dust to still

but I don't believe that it ever will

but I don't believe that it ever will


6.As You Cry

I'm a half-hearted fool
With a heart that's broke in two
A quarter & a kiss is all
it should be worth to you

I must be the last of my kind
Cause' ya tried for me to spot out the signs
The love has disappeared and
Darling ya shouldn't even try

After every fight we always wonder what
we're fighting for
Beat me up and mark me ya ya stole me
but I am not yours
As you cry I wanna lie
Say I love ya so
darlin' even though I dont
There's no easy way
to ease the pain
Roses and the tulips and
We need a way
they have there days
So its time to say goodnight and goodbye

Your so bright that ya shine right through
All the problems that I alwlay try to lay on you
Won't ya drink me off darlin'
Won't ya put some air in this room

I can't believe a what I can
I hold inside of my hand
Well end up partying and
might decide to mess up the plan
I'd be a lying if I told ya that we would work you

After every fight we always wonder what
we're fighting for
Beat me up and mark me ya ya stole me
but I am not yours
As you cry I wanna lie
Say I love ya so
darlin' even though I dont
There's no easy way
to ease the pain
Roses and the tulips and
We need a way
they have there days
So its time to say goodnight and goodbye

Nobodys singing about you any more
You thought you heard it well you musta' heard wrong
Its my business and that's alright
Don't you see that
As you cry I wanna lie
Say I love ya so
darlin' even though I dont
There's no easy way
to ease the pain
Roses and the tulips and
We need a way
they have there days
So its time to say goodnight and goodbye
Goodbye


7.Six (Interlude)


8.Molasses

You are made of sugar
milk and molasses
So little darlin
you attract all the bees
You are the gazer
you are the attraction
It takes a little vanity to know what it means
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doin' just fine
Say there's something better
But today there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight tonight you're giving up

I asked a question
give me an answer
You'll say the word
and I will disappear
You're running fast
but you can run faster
Your wheels to the dirt
gonna make it clear
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doin' just fine
Say there's something better
But today there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight you know you'll never find it
Say there's something better
But today there is a cold moon rising
You wanted something better
But tonight tonight you're giving darkness
And you can't hear me
I will try to draw you near me
But in the morning you will wake up alone
When your body breaks
Even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake
You'll sing a song of your heart's complaints
Sing it loud
Sing it clear
Oh sing so I can hear you
Then sing it soft in my ear
Take it up
Or take out
put me down
In the grand
I'll go anywhere with you
Say there's something better
You don't see it
you won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it but you won't get it
La da da la da da

La da da la da da
Say there's something better
But today there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight you know you'll never find it
La da da la da da

La da da la da da
Say there's something better
You don't see it
you won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it but you won't get it


9.That's Okay

You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad
If somebody loved you
they'd tell you by now
We all turn away when you're down

You want to go back to where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter
See your mother's face
Your childhood home is just down to white bones
And you'll never find your way back

And when you're gone
will they say your name
And when you're gone
will they love you the same
If not that's okay

If not that's okay

You are broken and callow
Cautious and safe
You are a boundless and beauty
With fright in your face
Until someone loves you
I'll keep you safe
But like them
I will give you away

And when you're gone
will they say your name
And when you're gone
will they love you the same
If not that's okay

And when you're gone
will they say your name
And when you're gone
will they love you the same
Oh when you're gone
we won't say your word
But you know that's okay

Don't you know that's okay


10.Not Your Concern

Shackles and chains get in the way
and I'm lost in the garderner's gate
Where everything grows
but no one should go where I've gone
I won't come back
How can you dream in the doorway
without ever going in
How can you dream in the doorway
without making excuses (and drawing conclusions)
you're at it again
I am not your concern the world will still turn
When I'm not around
Rely on me and you'll fall
backs up to the wall
Someone let me out

It's all sinkin' in
I'd probably just swim if I could but I can't so
I'm just hangin' on and on
Just let me go you know it won't be long
before the lights are out
How can you dream in the doorway
without ever going in
How can you dream in the doorway
With no intention of consoling you
i was controlling you
I'm letting go of you
I am not your concern the world will still turn
When I'm not around
Rely on me and you'll fall
backs up to the wall
Someone let me out

With no intention of consoling you
i was controlling you
I'm letting go of you
With no intention of consoling you
i was controlling you
I'm letting go of you
I am not your concern the world will still turn
When I'm not around
Rely on me and you'll fall
backs up to the wall
Someone let me out
I am not your concern the world will still turn
When I'm not around
Rely on me and you'll fall
backs up to the wall
Someone let me out
I I I am not your concern the world will still turn
When I'm not around


11.Love You Much Better

Why do you sing to everybody but me
Why do I let it go on
You've got such a music box song in my head all day long
You fell for a girl with wild eyes
dressed in satin and lace
She's just an empty diamond mine with moan across her face
I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
And you know someday I'm going to make you mine
Lala lalalala La lala la
Lala lalalala La lala la
You are the daydream in my eyes
there whenever I wake up
But the colors never crystallize
and I never get enough

And while you kiss everybody but me
I just sit back and watch
Oh but one day soon I'm gonna grab you by the collar
and kiss you all I want

I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
Oh y'know some day I'm gonna make you mine
I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
Oh y'know some day I'm gonna make you mine
Lala lalalala La lala la
Lala lalalala La lala la

I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
Oh y'know some day I'm gonna make you mine
I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
Oh y'know some day I'm gonna make you mine
I can love you I can love you
I can love you all right
I can love you much better
And you know some day I'm gonna make you mine


12.Hospital Bed Crawl

In the backseat of a car
in the corner of a room
In the shadows where I hide from you

Do the hospital bed crawl
do the terminal yell
And the violently alone I feel
Well hey
you're the only thing I wouldn't change
In this place
it's strange to say
You're the only angel I ever gave away

In an alleyway way downtown
there's a lurker making rounds
Keeping track and keeping tabs on you

And he likes the taste of blood
and he loves the way you love
And that's just what he wants from you
Well hey
you're the only thing I wouldn't change
In this place
it's strange to say
You're the only angel I ever gave away
I don't want your shining eyes
Darling don' you be polite
I'm just like all the other boys
I won't take a no
I'm soaking in your cinnamon
I've taken more than I can give
Without you I'm alone
so I'll never let you go!
Well hey
you're the only thing I wouldn't change
In this place
it's strange to say
You're the only angel I ever gave away


13.Break The Sky

Weight of days lost holding you down
You'll look for me, but I won't be found
The bluebirds flutter in my chest
Oh they want to sing
You'll have to break me open to hear anything
Before the world dies at my door
I'll break the sky
for you and I are going nowhere
Kiss goodbye
a dozen times before we get there
Why do I need anyone else
when I can break the sky myself

Won't be haunted by dreams I've deferred
Won't set my heart frozen in amber
The love you always seem to find is syrupy sweet
One taste and you've made up your mind
Too ripe to eat
Before the world dies at my door
I'll break the sky
for you and I are going nowhere
Kiss goodbye
a dozen times before we get there
Why do I need anyone else
when I can break the sky myself

Fear will hold you back
If you believe in that
Fear will hold you back
If you believe in that
Fear will hold you back
If you believe in that
Fear will hold you back
If you believe in that
I'll break the sky
for you and I are going nowhere
Kiss goodbye
a dozen times before we get there
Why do I need anyone else
Why do I need anyone
I'll break the sky
for you and I are going nowhere
Kiss goodbye
a dozen times before we get there
Why do I need anyone else
when I can break the sky myself
