1.About As Helpful As You Can Be Without Being Any Help At All
Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Everyday counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
I was thrown in the boat
Cast out to sea
Friendly with waves
There were sharks below
Hungry for me
So I dangled my leg
I lit up like a match
Because i bled gasoline
Made a torch of myself
Until the moon was mine
Stars made of me
How I lit up that sky
Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Everyday counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
2.How Darwinian
In the cars
In the beds where they sleep
In the alleyways behind the fast food chains where they eat
People don't know what they want
They just know they really want it
I should know better by now
There's only so much to go around
Through a lens
Like a dog at your feet
I will see the world the way that it seems easy to see
See i don't know what i want
I just know i really want it
I should know better by now
There's only so much to go around
3.Post - War Blues
Let's start a war for the kids
A purpose for which to unite
Make them some words they can mince
What they don't know
They won't mind
Find them a foe for the fight
And stories to tell as they age
Then maybe time will decide
Which ones keep and which ones fade
There's the deepest sleep in my blood
From which I am slowly coming to
And every morning i wait for the news
Oh, this is,
This is post war blues
Make me a means to an end
Make me an ending in sight
Make me insightful again
What I can't see
I can't fight
Make me a fire to burn
Burn all the letter I wrote
Write me a list of concerns
If we are at peace
If we are at peace
I wanna know
There's the deepest sleep in my blood
From which I am slowly coming to
And every morning I wait for the news
Oh, this is
This is post war blues
Oh, this is
This is post war blues
4.If I Am Dead
Those dying breeds
Gather beneath
Old fallen trees
Bits of leaves
And if only we'd know,
may see that tomorrow
Oh, carry me
Four hands, eight feet
Through crowded streets
Ticker tape on me
And if only I'd know,
may see that tomorrow
Burn my remains
My stuff, the same
Bury my name
It's yours now anyway
And if only I'd know,
may see that tomorrow
5.Daffodil
Through the night I will drive toward the city
Carry on to the edge of the morn
Should the daylight forgive awful things that I did
You might let me do more
Oh daffodil my petunia
Oh daffodil my rose
Find my tulip in the darkness
And let yours be my home
Let yours be my home
6.Starts With Them, Ends With Us
Don't speak
Don't speak until you've caught your breathe
Don't sleep
Don't sleep unless you're safe in bed
Just pray in the night they take someone instead
The hills are alive with the sounds of your head
Please dear
Please dear be sure of us and ours
Don't fear
Don't fear the worst in case it comes
Just pray in the night that they don't take your love
The hills are alive with the sounds of their guns
You're getting use to 'em
What happens next
What happens next
East to west
Lunatics
And it started slow
Ends in a rush
Starts with them
And ends with us
Just pray in the night these walls are enough
The hills are alive and the rivers show blood
The cancer is wide and it's taken my trust
Do what we will and we will what we must
7.Oh Fortune
Oh fortune
Bring fortune to spare.
Time's passing,
And we're worsing for wear
Aching for breathable air
Oh my god it's killing me.
Oh chances,
Oh forces, of luck.
Fields arid, windows boarded.
Enough.
Lord, let those skies open up.
Powers that be, forsaken me.
Oh choices,
Bring voices, Resound.
Please be merry, when I am buried,
In the ground.
Nice to have the kids around.
Oh my god, it's killing me.
8.Leaves, Trees, Forest
And my heart is a ghost
And he drinks and he smokes
And he keeps me awake
All through the night my heart shakes
So I live alone
Drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive
I know there is hope but I can't look for it
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
Oh, out in the woods
Out in the field as the hard rains fall
Rust in the wheels of my ten speed
And I ride in the rain
The rain and the wind and it keeps my sane
My head is a god and i can't speak for it
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
That's the trouble with everything
Everything always does that
That's the thing about everything
Everything always does that
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
9.Rows Of Houses
Packing Father
Tin can shooter
Makes us ready
He lies in waiting
And I hope we find him
Before they find him
Oooooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh,
Oooooooh,
So I tell stories
Make my friends tick
They like me for it
So bring on the papers
'Cause we're ready for 'em
What makes us ready？
Oooooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh,
Oooooooh,
The sight of Brower
The taste of something
The thought of houses,
Rows of houses
The sight of Brower
The taste of something,
The thought of houses,
Rows of houses
Rows of houses
Rows...
10.Regarding Death And Dying
Oh when death does walk you home
They will take your bones
And rest them peacefully
And if this is all too much
You know death, and such
What's the rush
I bought a house upon that hill
Went and made it filled
With things
And every year when Autumn stirs
The birds use their wings
Where do they go
People want to know
Some say Heaven
Some say Mexico
11.Jeopardy
Where did I go？

What is this sorrow？

Where did I go？
What am I doing？
What time is it？
Have I always been filled with questions？
Where's the show tonight？
And who's on？
Did i see them play in Houston？
What year was that？
What day is it？
Why do I lean on good intentions？
What are intentions？
Where did I go？

What is this sorrow？

Where did I go？

What's left to burn？
What's worth burning？
What's flammable？
What happens when all flags burn together？
Is that unity？
Is that unity？
Is it meaningful to be angry？
Who's angry？
Are you angry？
Why do I get the feeling you might be angry？
What is anger？
Where did I go？
Where did I go？
What is this sorrow？
What is this sorrow？
Where did I go？
Where did I go？
What is this sorrow？
