Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus
While you were under, we couldn't contain ourselves
Had a nice breakfast and left you for dead
Though you're still breathing, you never will tell about
What you had seen with this technology

The firefighters had wire cutters
Cause they're axes had been confiscated
The paramedics had Lara bars
Since they have so much nutritional content
And there they came to rescue me
The burning tower has a fluidity
It forms a spiral up to the stratosphere
You found a rope, you hang on tight
You go retrieve those little hatchets
So they can finally rescue me
Chop down all those cellar doors
That my uncle built himself

Quite Honestly

The sun's going down, the sky is a grapefruit wallpaper
I'm feelin' alright. Or maybe I'm feeling suicidal
Or maybe it's both, mixed together like census data
There's something wrong but I quite honestly don't know what the problem is
There's gas in the car, the job is all done and the check's in the mail
The radio's on but I hate this Thursday 1 to 3 show
It's 20 degrees, cold enough for me to be happy
But something's wrong and I quite honestly don't know what the problem is
I've explained too many times that I can't explain
And you oughta know by now
The sun's going down, but I guess it always has to happen
I'm feelin' alright. Or maybe I'm feeling suicidal
But either way I'll just end up waking up tomorrow
There's something wrong but I quite honestly don't know what the problem is

There's a mansion down in the ranch
that can't always be seen from the road
But right around Christmas time,
it shines a pale blue light
And the Rio Grande shines
all the way to Mexico
Until the sun comes up
and the river starts to flow
The waters lie in silence
And the pink moon flies in
The fires slowly dying
Smoking in a spin
The folks in the mansion,
they say their goodnights
They lay down into bed
And they turn off the lights
But the glow seeps through
and it travels through the air
Flies in a dream
Spreading anywhere
And rewarding those that see it
As the water levels rise
While the two meet at midnight
With interlocking eyes
As the sky meets the water,
at a point still undisclosed
And the two become one
And give each other shade
from the fire-breathing sun
that's turned the moon against them
Its light has been withheld
The stars have all turned red
So in a dark forest,
drenched in soft blue light,
the sky and water wait
to wander in the night

Belfast Green
02:04
|
|||
|
If her tongue was made of ivory
Then her eyes were pickles
a briny sheen of Belfast Green
reflected in the oblong clouds in her judgment
It came from the factory where they labored in love
And put salt in the status of every man's affliction
What produce may come from its internal creation?
Untouched by human tongues
And the vinegar-y seed of its fulfillment

Freezing To Death
03:49
|
|||
|
Freezing to death is quite a way to go
They say it's just like falling asleep
I haven't slept in years, though I've had many dreams
It might be nice
Only one way to know
Terrible people want to make everyone afraid
And I'm afraid they might succeed
But everyone has something that they can hold on to
Only seasonally
And you should never let it go
Frozen in time but literally encased
Living half-asleep
You're half the way there now and you're on your way
I'll be here
Cause I could stand to take my turn

The Emerald Sparrow
05:17
|

|
You might have seen him in your dreams
There might be a thread to pull
if you're wondering what it means
Those verdant plumes and eyes like storms
Spiritual wealth in observation of heaven-bound passeridae
you won't catch the Emerald Sparrow
Perched atop the ruins of machines,
his talons tap the rhythms to a hymn
And brings the sun in shades of white and green
shaded by the cool movement of his wings
Faith and perfect health in preserving the trees' streaming electricity,
lighting up the Emerald Sparrow
Sapphires and moonlit rays reflect
every feathered rain that falls to Earth
Fertilize the wooden casks of wine
and keep you feeling like you're living in a dream
Faith and perfect health in preserving the trees' streaming electricity,
lighting up those little engines
that power aviation with their famous
spiritual wealth in observation of heaven-bound passeridae,
you won't catch the Emerald Sparrow

I Saw the Future
04:33
|
|||
|
There's something in your house
You don't know what it is
Don't know where it came from
But it's chewing on your shoes
And it's tying up loose ends
It's doing everything
that you never could
Yes, it's scratching at the wood
It's nailing up a cross
Doing what you planned
you'd be doing in the end
Time is the essence
Get out while you can
Keep your mind in focus
Tell me what you're drinking
Eyes on the future,
I saw the future
I saw the future and it isn't so good
