Go out day
Spin down night
Moon is calling
Sun is falling
Go out day
Spin down life
One is calling
The other's just falling
We can walk over waterfalls
And we can run 'round the reservoir
As rain falls on our heads
Rain falls on houses long dead
Cover up with sand
Stay there as long as you can
Hold your breath
Wait for light
Waiting, wondering
If it's coming
We can walk over waterfalls
And we can run 'round the reservoir
As rain falls on our heads
Rain falls on houses long dead
Cover up with sand
Stay there as long as you can

Heart Full of Lead

This one's in retribution
for a soldier abandoned and misled
Started with this premonition
and ended with a heart full of lead
Too much of a rumination
running in circles in my head
Needs a better resolution
a thick scar for skin that shed
One can be a small ignition
for a fire begging to be fed
Little spark of a contribution
showing a heart that has bled
Heart full of lead
filling up on words we said
Making up this troubled sinking bed
Heart full of lead
Wishing it was red instead
Take away the pain of hearts of lead
Bluish gray
Bluish gray
This one's my restitution
soldier called up from the dead
Little loving revolution
showing a heart that has bled
Heart full of lead
Filling up on words we said
Making up this troubled sinking bed
Heart full of lead
Wishing it were red instead
Wash away mistakes of hearts of lead
Heart full of red
take away the words we said
Make it up this troubled sinking bed
Heart full of red
Take away the years of dread
Wash away mistakes of hearts of lead
Bluish gray
Bluish gray

The Shandy Song

Somebody make me a shandy
Somebody fix me a drink
Cuz I'm thirsty and so tired I can't think
Somebody make me a shandy
Some kind of liquid with beer
Cuz I don't get paid enough bank to be here
All my friends say modern living's got them undone
Lots of cheap beer, soda or juice you can use either one
Somebody make me a shandy
Any kind of liquid with beer
Cuz I don't know how I ever ended up here
Somebody make me a shandy
Somebody fill up my cup
Cuz I never thought I'd ever give up
All my friends say this kind of living's got them undone
Home's where your heart is, I can't seem to find either one

Joy

Listening to crickets in high humidity
I finally realize I'm not afraid at all
To grow old all alone cuz I've got something
There's one thing that cannot be taken away
Deep disturbing joy
Deep disturbing joy
Now I own all my troubles
My deep disturbing joy
Sadness, she holds on tight
I hold her in my arms and strangely
it's only then that it seems that this life's alright
Me and her, she and I, impenetrable
Deep disturbing joy
Deep disturbing joy
Now I own all my troubles
My deep disturbing joy
Walk by my side you can love without understanding
Just stay the course my true love, true love
Keeping the time just like crickets in the night
Just stay the course my true love, true love
