Traveling 02:50
And we're going out tonight And we're going home tonight And we know we're mortal Blowing out the twilight with my fingers Blowing in the daylight with my face Your face

Old Nevada 02:21
I took the first flight out of desperate notions From a lonely valley, in the dead of winter I don't need to be home, got a sofa to sleep on I don't need your fragrance, got a dream to sleep to And it's snowing on a Friday and I don't know what I'm doing I'll be fine Disappearing like the old Nevada With her seedy waitress, and a dream of jackpot And a new shrimp cocktail I went to Massachusetts to be far far away, I'm dreaming I'll drown, I'll drown, I'm dreaming It's snowing on a Friday and I don't know what I'm doing I'll be fine.

There've been times I've died There've been times you've lied It's not uncommon to lose yourself if you only try It's not uncommon to lose yourself There've been times I've died There've been times you've lied And at times I've lied At times I've seen you try But I'll move on

Gone 02:29
Where have you gone tonight? Where have you gone this evening? I knew you. Where will you go tonight? Where have you gone this evening? I knew you.

Down to the ocean with a bottle in my hand Gonna drown myself inside of you And if you love me too, dear, you'll be waiting there I'll get drunker off a face like yours The pills she's swallowed are in her belly And there's nothing I can do Only that kind of sweetness could drive me here Ornaments of evening time But now it's just the sunset and my mind. We'd walk ourselves away down the shores and to the piers We'd suffocate the bay. I'd have gotten drunker off a face like yours You'd have drowned me here
6.
Disproportionate and feeling heavy It's not the last time I'll be drawing empty I felt that you would be everybody. We went to drive in your brother's army But we went down with our hands a-wavin' We found our way to ambivalent beauty We will go down with our hands a-wavin' The sun a sphere in it's enormous mystery Laugh and watch as it rises in misery Sing and watch as it falls in misery And when we die we'll be drawing empty

Reverence 02:50
8.
Going with the wind Going with the rain Bleeding on your hand Places never been Now the day grows old And my feet grow tired Pleasure can be shared And you say you're not scared And we ride through this life As the rain falls below Now it's time to sleep You say you will keep And the moon, it burns Tomorrow's so far away You say you will keep But tomorrow's so far away

Move 06:34
I lie to myself Way you breathe Way you think Way you move
