I’ll draw the music And you can sing the ones 1+1+1+1 The world looks so strange From way up here I can see through All my heroes Transparent minds What does it mean Charlatans They were just like me Do you listen to what you like? Or do you like what you listen to? Don’t tell me the truth Is the best that you can do There’s a crack in the record Where the times collide A crack in the rock Where I can hide Let me sit just a little bit Closer to you I’ll recite the bad reviews You want to know All of my tricks? I’ll confess my hidden fifths No, don’t leave yet Just six more words I renounce my former works Do you listen to what you like? Or do you like what you listen to? Don’t tell me the truth Is the best that you can do There’s a crack in the record Where the times collide A crack in the rock Where I can hide

Don’t take the walk Unwind the clock The broken street The yard of weeds The gate unlatched The deal at last Don’t take the walk The crouching stairs The dancing air The peeling hall A stormland fall An open door The last before The stormland fall Unring the bell Unring the bell We slept we woke And it was gold This little room I’ll keep it whole Unring the bell Unring the bell Unring the bell We slept we woke And it was gold This little room I’ll keep it whole Unring the bell Unbreak the glass Rewrite the past The lie untold The fire cold The truth unswayed By fiction played Unbreak the glass Make straight the hill Expose the film A little spill Upon the floor Is heading for That eastern shore Make straight the hill Unring the bell Unring the bell We slept we woke And it was gold This little room I’ll keep it whole Unring the bell Unring the bell Unring the bell We slept we woke And it was gold This little room I’ll keep it whole Unring the bell Unring the bell Unring the bell We slept we woke And it was gold This little room I’ll keep it whole Unring the bell

Ride 03:12
I am the tattooed lady The queen of half dark things The impossible on Main Street The bird held by a string I’m beauty in the backroom See the half-growns blush I am carny from carny I am dust from dust I can speak the language That the locals understand And I can speak the language That the locals can’t Come take a ride Come see the show You’ll need it sooner Than you want to know The sun goes down And the lights come on And you’ll be happy For a little while Ride, ride ride ride ride Ride, ride ride ride ride I’m the sleeper on the bed of nails Cinderblock on chest I’m the girl behind the curtain Lifting up my dress I’m the one who stays up late In the living lot I’m the one who finds the mothers When the little girls get lost When you’re turning in the breeze I hold your life in my hands Because you always pass inspection If you pay the county man Come take a ride Come see the show You’ll need it sooner Than you want to know The sun goes down And the lights come on And you’ll be happy for a little while Ride, ride ride ride ride Ride, ride ride ride ride

If the butcher bird is calling And the sycamores are bare Then the waiting season’s over And the flying time is near We will step into the darkness Where the stationmaster waits And we’ll listen for the singing Of the bullet on it’s way I just want a cool had to hold me While I burn, while I burn I just want a still voice to tell me Tell me when the night is gone We’ll be walking in the borrowed clothes Of someone else’s son While the branches pluck our ankles Like they’re daring us to run And the banner of our daydreams Will be fame among the brave As we listen for the singing Of the bullet on its way I just want a cool had to hold me While I burn, while I burn I just want a still voice to tell me Tell me when the night is gone We’ll cross the frozen river When the light is on the hill And any man who’d stop us Is a man that should be killed We’ll be calling from our castle Tell us, now who is the slave? And we’ll listen for the singing Of the bullet on it’s way I just want a cool had to hold me While I burn, while I burn I just want a still voice to tell me Tell me when the night is gone

Close your eyes Excise your hand from mine Replace the screaming joint With one that doesn’t cry Keep on cutting Till everything is new Now tell me quick Are you still you Love is made of blood and bone It bleeds it breaks it can’t stay whole And love is brave and so controlled To measure o¬ut the final dose If it shatters Will the pieces kill If it doesn’t The memory surely will I’ll give you back The ring shaped like a tear And we’ll remember How to say goodbye Love is quick but ending’s slow The bleeding edge of life exposed A painting in mercurochrome The lines are messy when it goes (I held a jewel and went to sleep) Love remembers all of those So many children in one grown And love will keep you tied to home When you would fly yes love’s the stone Love is hunger twice transposed Unrecognized when you go home Love is grisly love is gross See Tarrare eat Berlioz Love is made of blood and bone It bleeds it breaks it can’t stay whole And love is brave and so controlled To measure out the final dose

Rabbit oh Rabbit Come out of your head Come run through the garden That soon will be dead Come eat the flowers While they’re in full bloom Come sing at the sun And shout at the moon Yes, empires rise And empires fall And gods grow like rosebuds On golden boughs The tellers of truth Are burned in their beds Their killers exalted Until they confess But none of that matters You’re missing the show Put down your books It’s time to go Come out of the light And into the den Look at us, dick We are your friends Page turns Worlds burn Small things disappear Page turns Worlds burn Small things disappear The willows and hemlock Are losing their leaves He hasn’t been on The field path in weeks He’s looking for answers In Ibsen and Keats Like how come the smart ones Still do the wrong things? The hairs by his mouth Are turning to gray And Rabbit’s too old To start over again He knows about Strychnine And vitamin D And other sweet poisons Of flower show queens Rabbit speaks Finch They annoy him to death Calling hindgut digester And cecotrope breath The others can’t hear it And all they can say is Isn’t that pretty Oh what a nice day Page turns Worlds burn Small things disappear Page turns Worlds burn Small things disappear Happiness is a warm haunch Happiness is a warm haunch Happiness is a warm haunch Happiness is a warm haunch Page turns Worlds burn Small things disappear Page turns Worlds burn Small things disappear

My name is Asa I live under the sea Two hundred fathoms Between the light and me I was a hauler On the Jenny May Twenty thousand steel hooks Every given day Count the uncounted Brothers of the deep All land is one land Underneath the sea All bow before him The cold and sacred cod And pray to the main line Forty miles long We tried to sail through The barrel of a gun But the barrel broke us What a long way down Count the uncounted Brothers of the deep All land is one land Underneath the sea When waves rise like mountains And islands prowl the night What hope has man Where birds drown in flight Some of us are marked Bound for the deep Never fall in love with A man who loves the sea Count the uncounted Brothers of the deep All land is one land Underneath the sea

Tuva or Bust 02:28
Tell me where Did you come from And who Who made you Tell me what Are you into And will it Ruin you? Will it Ruin you? When we feel a wave we’ll roll it back until we find the land We’ll find the islands by their silence just like on your father’s maps Well I’ve got line for miles dear and you’ve got sea for days Although we spend more time in dreaming than we ever spend in waves Remember when You were new? I was once The new one too Remember when You were who’s who? Back when you still Had all your crew Don’t think too hard We’ll be there soon Don’t think too hard We’ll be there soon We’ll talk about the questions that have broken better minds The current’s hardly moving, you know we have the time Should we void the brilliant mind before it builds the bomb? Is this the man who destroyed worlds? This base and boyish one?

I know I tend to perseverate Fixate much, fixate, fixate? If it’s worth doing anything It’s worth doing obsessively Don’t be scared Pain will purify your tears Don’t make that face I’m a little hard to take Don’t run away! I wanna do somethin weird to ya I wanna do somethin weird to ya Let me do something weird to ya I wanna do something weird to ya I wanna do somethin weird to ya I wanna do somethin weird to ya Let me do something weird to ya I wanna do something weird to ya Just lay still It won’t hurt that much, it will The more you flinch It just gets me more intense Let’s get this done I wanna do somethin weird to ya I wanna do somethin weird to ya Let me do something weird to ya I wanna do something weird to ya I wanna do somethin weird to ya I wanna do somethin weird to ya Let me do something weird to ya I wanna do something weird to ya You’re my wife I love you My safety word is orange

It is so hot in the kilning month And the head of man is a hiding place It is so hot in the killing month The chief the chief is like the rain We are the little snails Who seek relief, who seek relief In the fronds of the banana tree We seek relief, we seek relief The chief is man’s banana leaf We seek relief, we seek relief The chief is man’s banana leaf We seek relief, we seek relief Everything is meant to die This is what I say my child Everything was made to die Hunger licks us up like flies We are the little snails Who seek relief, who seek relief In the fronds of the banana tree We seek relief, we seek relief The chief is man’s banana leaf We seek relief, we seek relief The chief is man’s banana leaf We seek relief, we seek relief
