CAVE

Let the sun recover
Let the night take over
Let my hands discover you
everytime i go there
I face the truth that lies here
this crooked cross i bear

It's the last thing i wanted
it's the last thing i wanted
Chorus
I know you won't give it away
I hope you cave
I really want, i want you to stay
I hope you cave
I hope you cave

Maybe i've been dreaming
Alone and heavy breathing
It's just my imagination again
Everytime i visit
it's as if i lived it
if only for a minute

t's the last thing i wanted
it's the last thing i wanted
Chorus
I know you won't give it away
I hope you cave
I really want, i want you to stay
I hope you cave
I hope you cave

(bridge)
i hope you come
come over here
and get it done

repeat ch
t's the last thing i wanted
it's the last thing i wanted
Chorus
I know you won't give it away
I hope you cave
I really want, i want you to stay
I hope you cave
I hope you cave


TRAMPOLINE

stop in the middle of the street
then turn around and try to stop me
let's take turns crashing

don't believe a word i say
my loyalty divides today
I speak infractions

oh i'm a trampoline
i'm a helicopter
oh it's not up to me
i'm a downpour
i'm a downpour

I learned to live here years ago
underwater and overgrown
just don't come in here

oh i'm a trampoline
i'm a helicopter
oh it's not up to me
i'm a downpour
i'm a downpour

(bridge)
it rained alot when i was small
it just gets in you, that's all

oh i'm a trampoline
i'm a helicopter
oh it's not up to me
i'm a downpour
i'm a downpour


THE UNIVERSE

every song i wrote
every word i spoke
every diamond i admired
each fat city i aspired
every song i wrote

I got a dream
I gotta live it
plain old truth
i wanna give it
sparks fly
now i'm on fire
don't ask why
just be quiet and listen
the universe is spinning records
the universe is spinning records

everytime i cry
waterfalls for eyes
all the pain i'm in
it's just another place i've been
everytime i cry


I got a dream
I gotta live it
plain old truth
i wanna give it
sparks fly
now i'm on fire
don't ask why
just be quiet and listen
the universe is spinning records
the universe is spinning records

sounds like rain
as it comes
do do do do...
yeah it's a big hurricane
as it comes
do do do do.....it comes...do do do...


I got a dream
I gotta live it
plain old truth
i wanna give it
sparks fly
now i'm on fire
don't ask why
just be quiet and listen
the universe is spinning records
the universe is spinning records


DRAWING HORSES

in the steam of my shower
in the dirt where i flower
in the dust i don't clean
in abstraction of my dreams

chorus-
i'm drawing horses again
i'm drawing horses again
all over all over
everything

In tea leaves i am reading
in the blood that i'm bleeding
in the lines that i cut
in the tracks of this rut

chorus-
i'm drawing horses again
i'm drawing horses again
all over all over
everything

(bridge)
on your skin
i am tracing
another truth
i am facing

All over all over
all over all over
I'm drawing horses again
I'm drawing horses again....

STARTING OVER

January's come and gone
one more year and ten more songs
you saw it coming all along
Your girlfriends horny when you're not home
you need space more time alone
she vibrates on your cell phone

chorus-
she got older
but no one told her it would feel like this
like your starting over
like your starting over
like your starting over
at the end

she makes everything from scratch
pours it slow and drinks it fast
you've got questions that you don't ask
Your girlfriends horny when you're not home
you need space more time alone
she vibrates on your cell phone

chorus-
she got older
but no one told her it would feel like this
like your starting over
like your starting over
like your starting over
at the end

(bridge)
she resolves to never make
resolutions that she can't fake

chorus-
she got older
but no one told her it would feel like this
like your starting over
like your starting over
like your starting over
at the end


LONELINESS STINGS

in a field of shetland ponies
where the ghosts gather in herds
behind the barn they've all been buried
the caretaker is still forlorn

we must follow him home
roll him in wool
spread the feed
in a tractor pull
for there's no one to care for
the mare's and their king
if you must know
loneliness stings

he sleeps up in the hay loft
builds a bed out of the bales
it's just like living in a train car
poisoned on the rails

we must find him a woman
a mother i guess
some sweet little diamond
in a calico dress
for there's no one to take care of
the mare's and their king
if you must know
loneliness stings

(bridge)
no slumber will come
this heartache is cumbersome
it's the one thing i can't outrun

we must cut down the clover
and set up the stones
chisel their names
and a robert frost poem
cause there's no one who remembers
the mares and their king
if you must know
loneliness stings
if you must know


SHOOTING STARS FROM THE HIP

i've lived a scandalous life
one sweet and treacherous flight
but nothings gonna change tonight
nothing will change
tonight

You'll run when i come close
now you know what no one else knows
but nothings gonna change tonight
nothing will change
tonight tonight

Trace my scars with your fingertips
they're like shooting stars from my hips
they're like shooting stars from my hips

I took advantage
I took a billion things for granted
but nothings gonna change tonight
nothing will change
tonight tonight

Trace my scars with your fingertips
they're like shooting stars from my hips
they're like shooting stars from my hips

nothings gonna change tonight
nothing will change
nothings gonna change tonight
nothing will change
tonight tonight tonight...


QUICKSAND

you're all i ever wanted
a dream that teased me so
you calmed my crazy horses
you sang your jethro tull

and i took you back to amherst
and i showed you where i swam
i thought i saw a ghost of one little tin soldier
in the white birch behind the dam
in the white birch behind the dam

drawn like breath to the banks of the river
to reflect what i hardly remember
no trespassing
but i've been building on quicksand
i've been building on quicksand
all my life

my past it's just like a haunting
a figure in the dark
boys in the attic
knocking at my heart

and i'll take nothing for granted
now i know the way that it works
everything eventually will be taken
but your silence will be heard

drawn like breath to the banks of the river
to reflect what i hardly remember
no trespassing
but i've been building on quicksand
i've been building on quicksand
all my life


ANSWERS

far and above the hardest thing
is just to expect the suffering
there's no map that you get
no answers that stick
there's no big flashing sign
no race that you finish

but there is love
but there is love
It's the only reason i bother
to get up in the morning and shower
to get out of my house and wander
the streets with a thousand strangers
If you've got questions
love's got answers
love's got answers

up and beyond the mystery
a truth just like rain
that you can't see
there's no corner you round
no rules you can count on
there's no age you become
no door that you open

but there is love
but there is love
It's the only reason i bother
to get up in the morning and shower
to get out of my house and wander
the streets with a thousand strangers
If you've got questions
love's got answers
love's got answers
answers

there's no lesson you learn
no test you can take
there's no code that you'll crack
no lock you can break

It's the only reason i bother
to get up in the morning and shower
to get out of my house and wander
the streets with a thousand dangers
If you've got questions
love's got answers
love's got answers
answers answers...
