Dream Cycle 03:28 video
lyrics
buy track
In sleep you’re always beautiful A pillow full Of flying dreams And revised futures glittering And in the twilight I can see Your hair is flowing and You’re all-knowing And I I can see you sleeping sweetly hidden Your eyes fluttering beneath their lids and I know The dawn will come to send you low Well you get up And then you walk the straight line And you get up And then you lock the door behind And you get up And then you wake to find That you get up To get up one more time I come home we’re trading stories And replacing Things that happened With things we wish That would have happened Instead what we know that happened And I Will clear the dishes Snuff the candles Dim tomorrow Let go the handles And fall asleep Hours before you do Well you get up And then you walk the straight line And you get up And then you lock the door behind And you get up And then you wake to find That you get up To get up one more time

Skin (A Map of the World) 05:02

When you were young You had powerful friends And your lovers They were dashing men From the ends of the earth Their souvenirs Their bargains Their balladeers Well there’s a map of the world Yeah there’s a map of the world Well there’s a map of the world Yeah there’s a map of the world When you were young You were bathed in light Days at the races And racing nights The finest things The finest years As you bargain with the balladeer Yeah there’s a map There’s a map of the world Yeah there’s a map There’s a map of the world Felt this way since seventeen With you on the mezzanine Now there’s a map of the world Etched in your skin It’s where you’re going Where you’ve been Well there’s a map of the world etched in your skin where you’re going where you’ve been It’s a map of the world and it’s at war Where we’re all going and been before Well as a girl, you were anyone’s muse That poem lies, but the heart is truth As they cover you up The crow cries out The poem lies Within, without Well there’s a map of the world Yeah there’s a map of the world Well there’s a map of the world Yeah there’s a map of the world

Life Drawing 05:06
lyrics

Sun dress She throws down a cigarette Venus Art school statuette Sunlight Leather, paint and charcoal At twenty-five an hour and Zero pressure on her soul Unknow her Your arrangement of shadows and light Not a muse of your meticulous line Only a shape in the sunlight Cuts, she got the scars, boys. Burns, she got the scars, girls. Sunlight Broken skylight glass Who bets you’ve got a future Maybe you should ask the past Plastic Westclox A pose for the sweep hand Frozen yoga for Two dozen of the damned Unknow her Your arrangement of shadows and light Not a muse of your meticulous line Only a shape in the sunlight Eyes up She slips on a tattered robe She lights up She sends off a secret code There is no now There’s only where and then from every angle In charcoal, brush and pen Oh, unknow her An arrangement of shadows and light Not a muse of your ridiculous lie Only a shape in the sunlight Cuts, she got the scars, boys. Burns, yeah, Oh, she got the scars, girls. (She knows the school boys Just off the farm It takes experience to not do ‘em Too much harm)

Remember when we walked the rope Without a net And when we spoke You were radiant What have you done It occurs to me When you’re six miles high What will be will be Oooh On the plane back home When you’re dreaming in the aisle seat On the plane back home Well Say you got your money Your Mercedes Benz Say it all made some kind Of crazy sense Say it like you mean it Before you go to bed Say it like a prayer The one you never said What have you done Was it to me Now LAX and ORD Sheets of rain Curtain cloud Wheels up Can’t turn back now We were so proud And we got so loud So good at pretending Did we really do Much of anything Leave me behind Leave this circus show Be skilled forgetting Be Pinocchio And by cruising Altitude You’ve done What you got to do Oooh On the plane back home When you’re dreaming in the aisle seat On the plane back home We were so, so young Flew near the sun So good at pretending Did we really do Much of anything Say you got your money your Mercedes bends Say it all made some kind Of crazy sense Say it like you mean it Before you go to sleep Say it like a prayer Promise you never keep On the plane back home When you’re dreaming from the aisle seat On the plane back home Yeah you’re dreaming in the aisle seat On the plane back home

Hero of the Avenue 03:50
lyrics

Well we sit in the street And remember how it was Oh how we’d blown our plans How we’d be lucky in love Well let’s agree to disagree Between me and you How you gonna be The hero of the avenue Hanging from the rafters A hundred years war And the same wrinkled faces She’s seen before And down the crumbling stairs she goes Somebody recognize Nobody’s getting any younger In this old man’s enterprise Shovel the rubble in Two by two How you gonna be The hero of the avenue Up in her bedroom the usual glow She’s arguing her case across the time zones When everybody disagrees Between me and you How you gonna be The hero of the avenue A hall of marble statues A hundred years more Yeah it's the same wrinkled faces We’ve seen before And down the crumbling stairs she goes Somebody recognize Nobody’s getting any younger In this old man’s enterprise Shovel the rubble in Two by two That’s how you gonna be The hero of the avenue

A smile from the surface of a photograph Spectator at a lost parade Frozen, it’s like a sesquicentennial Fresh as a lemonade Wave as you glide by A sash and a paper cup Wave as you glide by Look down like things are looking up 17 and 33 Seems a good bet to me 17 and 33 stack em up we’ll spin and see Its spins, it spins around Its spins, it spins around A smile from the surface of a swimming pool Spectator at a lost parade Achievements and a bonus And a 401(k) Wave as you glide by A sash and a paper cup Wave as you glide by Look down like things are looking up Seems a good bet to me Seems a good bet to me Seems a good bet to me Stack em up we’ll spin and see It spins, its spins around It spins, its spins around It spins, its spins, it spins

Before the Amber Hour 05:21

In the ink Before the night dies Before the amber hour She’ll rise Foxglove, Maybe nightshade Drawbridges hum, Under her wheels. That man, With his eyes closed That man, No more Oh way oh way ah ho Oh way oh An egg and toast Off the interstate Sixteen-fifty Keep the change Behind the wheel Behind the wheel She starts to think All the things We’ll never see again All the things He’ll never see again All the things We’ll never feel again All the things He’ll never feel That man With his eyes closed That man No more In the ink After the amber hour After Venus sleeps She’ll rise She’ll rise

Jenny takes that dreaded bus downtown (Just a little hungover) Oh, just thirty six minutes to work (Three stops to go) Used to say that a guy with a wandering eye was par (Hey baby) When your paycheck’s signed by jerks (Can you work late) But her city It’s a scroll And she watches it unroll Shes young and then she’s old She’s reflected in the window Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado She contemplates she just might miss her stop (Who’ll pay the con ed?) As the coffee shops roll by (Flat white decaf) Escape into the mirrored canyons (Gotta find new roommate) May not win, thinks she oughtta try, to Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado These clocks they move so fast Except on the days they don’t So much to unload Where there a will there’s a won’t But her city It’s a scroll And she watches it unroll Between timid and too bold She’s reflected in the window Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado tornado Jenny takes an uber home (She’s got five stars) Neon flashes through drops of rain (Instagram it) Tho my heart is sinking like a stone (She won’t pick up) Tomorrow she’ll try again, to Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado (gonna blow you around) Unwind a tornado (sucks the life right out) Unwind a tornado tornado Jenny takes that dreaded bus downtown Oh, just thirty six minutes to work Used to say that a guy with a wandering eye was par When your paycheck’s signed by jerks Unwind a tornado Unwind a tornado tornado

One day you wake up Or you don’t You’re by yourself or You’ve left someone alone Wrecked by life itself I reckon you been lower than hell In the honey Ain’t it funny Freshly minted You think you know Think that love is somehow Predisposed Wrecked down for the bell I reckon you’ve been lower than hell In the honey And now you’re running Oh you can rock n roll But you can never go home Yeah you rock control But you can never go home May gain years and pounds and property But there’s no money back guarantee You’re young and dumb And there she blows Imagine swimming in Your troves of gold Wrecked – and low you sell I reckon you’ve been lower than hell In the honey You’re still running Oh you can rock n roll But you can never go home Yeah you and rock and troll But you can never go home May gain years and pounds and property But there’s no money back guarantee Woah. Woah. One day you wake up or you don’t You’re by yourself or You’ve left someone alone Wrecked by life itself I reckon you been lower than hell In the honey Ain’t it all kinda funny Oh you can rock and roll But you can never go home Yeah you can rock and troll But you can never go home You know the roads You can never go home While you know the roads You can never go home Woah. Woah.

Sidereal 05:27 video
lyrics

We're made of stars Cool night will soon soothe These suffering days Waves beckon with their deafening breakers And I reckon I share their chemistry Beat up, beat down, beat up Get home and take your remedy Beat up, beat down, beat up Go home and take your remedy It’s taking the sameness another way There’s twice as many living now As the day I was born It makes the world just half as big and probably twice as worn. Beat up, beat down, beat up Get home and take your remedy Beat up, beat down, beat up Go home and take your remedy It’s taking the sameness another way

Sky Harbor 03:58 video
lyrics

Electric copper calls, it crawls the buzzing hives Bleat, siren, pinhole lights, within: a million lives A million stories and not one of them is mine And not one of them is mine Fading, fading A gleaming pinpoint writes new clouds across the sky Within it, ten score histories from hello to goodbye Below are clusters that are loneliness defense We want to be together, and then we build a fence I saw an island from a window of a plane I saw the places where they shelter from the rain Where they shelter from the rain Fading, fading
