Venture 02:34
lyrics
Going round gliding on a moonless night with a deep mist settling in In a warm little compact car, outside it's cold, cold again People walking around, glowing in their shoes, they have lost it in the wind Walking on the freeway now her pulse and brain will swim A boy walks out to my car and stands like a stone in the dim street light My hair's on end as I feel him watching me slip by in the night On the rising grassy banks like statues never seen The lovers whisper, they're only skulls with flesh hanging on By 7-Elevens the vultures stand like dust swept into time A blur that clings so passively but is there in your mind Let it catch your breath, it'll turn your lungs cold as you cradle yourself Don't let it catch you a step too far, you're on the better side of hell.

Coast 03:05
lyrics
Spend the night by the fire See the spirits have come Out to show us old friends Driving out to the coast, Through the desert we'll go We'd have it no other way He had a thing for this car, Going round for the day If you're going my way We didn't care for the time, We didn't care for a thing, We didn't want it to end This goddamn town I'm bleeding You're wrapped in my bloodstream The ghosts in these walls As I put on my shoes I hear laughing today And you're going my way Hey we're back on the road In a beat up old car And we're going so far And we're here by the fire, Seeing as you're here to stay As you're going my way.

Casual and Proper 03:54
lyrics
If you love yourself Go out, tell the world Everyone's bleeding now Hide it, you'll fall somehow I'm on a bus to the city I had to leave somehow I've got the world to consider Ignore it, I'll fall somehow I've got a friend in town, she's gonna show me around This godforsaken city Show me the shows and stores and all the worn out floors and Everything's so pretty All these things we consider It's all a game that's played Acting so casual and proper Don't let em know you well It's won and lost in bars and schools and taxis It could be your one phone call We talk about old friends and places But now, somehow, we'll fall I've got a friend in town, she's gonna show me around This godforsaken city Show me the shows and stores and all the worn out floors and Everything's so pretty I've got a friend in town, she's gonna show me around This godforsaken city

Soldier 02:23
lyrics
Pull your weight You leave today Your dog, he knows This life, you're gone Talk to Mom, excuses Tell her you'll be back In the field Their blood is real Their clothes are torn Their hopes are gone You saw it for yourself Chief says you've done well Thoughts of home Your loves are gone Your blood is theirs It's in your mind Talk to Mom, excuses Tell her you've been fine Tell her of your courage Justify his crime

To the Moon 05:32
lyrics
Driving through the country Blue and blue it's Sunday To the evening that awaits You're a radiant wave For a distant moon beach Slow and drifting in your way And yeah, I'm lonely And yeah, you want me But it's too long and we can't wait It's not as if I'm alive to be your weakness I've got a few things to do and then I'm leaving And I can't be caught in your way So Angela flies away to see the moon Oh, I miss you Driving through the showers Going home, it's Monday Don't regret a single thing Torn and broke and reeling I'm alive and breathing Slow and drifting in my way And yeah, I'm lonely And yeah, you want me But it's too long and we can't wait It's not as if I'm alive to be your witness I've got a few things to do and then I'm leaving And I won't be caught in your wake So Angela flies away to see the moon Oh, I miss you

Sovereign 03:46
lyrics
Traveling aimlessly Chopin is washing the sheets Violins and palmistry Fireworks and mysteries Current is dragging me down Sliding feet in asphalt town Heads that are blistering Fingers that fade in my dreams Accident afternoon sleep Massenet hiding in trees Going out into fall Sovereign of them all
7.
Numb 03:57
lyrics
Softest sleep the sweetness in your veins Cold and numb we'll dream of Exit K Sand that shakes you shoes and falls away Half-lit dream this cactus in the twilight We can see the mountains from this street And an airplane came and crashed a block away In Bellingham the roads are filled with laughter That I can't hear anymore But I don't feel the slightest bit of pain I don't feel the slightest bit of pain Wouldn't say I couldn't sink much lower Couldn't know I'd ever sink this low Frozen cold the night is going nowhere And I can't sleep at all But I don't feel the slightest bit of pain I don't feel the slightest bit of pain
8.
Amphetamine 03:31
lyrics
It's not the way you talk to me It's not the words you say to me Your blood is lost, amphetamine It's not the way you look at me It's not the way you think of me It's not the things you do to me But up like a rag doll, down down down Up like a rag doll, down down down Your face is on the bathroom sink Your arms are broke like figurines The doctor's trying to intervene Up like a rag doll, down down down Up like a rag doll, down down down
9.
Fringed With Icicles 01:58
lyrics
I'm blind I'm deaf Behind My shadow is my death We tried To find Our place The siege has ended Before Sunrise My mind The static in my head No one To see My mind The static in my head We tried To bear Disgrace Time has spoken Rewind Again Before Spring again and Falling To dust I've Waited Long enough

A Night in November 02:32
lyrics
A night in November The doors are all closed The peaks and the valleys have gone The windows are shaking A furious fight Too early and yet it's too late I've got your number Deep in my head And the way you had written it there The years have no mercy, we all fade to black And all that I touch turns to ash The names of the dreamers I write on my hands Emotions that I've put to rest The things that we've gone for Will come and will pass In torment, revolution, and death I've got your number Deep in my head And the way you had written it there I'm rain-soaked on Jersey I'm out of my head My memory's all that I have You know I'll remember The things that you say You look like a girl I used to know As if we have mended, we'll hide our regret There's nothing to do now but laugh There's nothing to do now but laugh

Tumbling Leaves 04:33
lyrics
United nations and wars and sensational things Business and pleasure and weekends we're chasing our ends We take our chances with fights and romances and dreams Progress intentions we're saving our pensions and friends He thinks there's gotta be something much better than this Goes to the store then he walks by the ocean's abyss Old and depleted they're wishing it's time to be dead She wants to be rich and famous she's hanging her head Hey we're all tumbling leaves Hey blowing into the street He's got some problems he's drinking his booze and his pills His girlfriend's a lunatic painting and playing her shows She steps out side smokes a cigarette pukes on the steps The harbor is noisy with restaurants and tourists and ships Floods and starvation the footnotes of current events God is in agony pacing and watching the mess I've left my boots on the balcony ruined again We win the lottery drugs and pretension commence Hey we're all tumbling leaves Hey blowing into the street Hey we're all tumbling leaves Hey blowing into the street
