1.My Heroes Have Always Been Crazy
Lyricist:Jon Barthmus, Charlie Cottone, Christopher Doyle, Mike
Fleming, Patrick Marsceill
When Sunday sets in the city
Like a thief without a sound
It's just the night, night, night
Night, night that's calming down
When Sunday sets in the city
There's something in the air
If i get lost, lost, lost lost lost
You'll find me there
My heroes have always been crazy
They've murdered, stabbed, or drowned
Is this the road, road, road, road, road
I'm traveling down?
The trains I've been conducting
Derail as they depart
It's not even my, my, my, my, my
It's not even my fault
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When summer sets in the city
We'll throw down all our cards, oh
You lose the light, light, light, light, light
With no regard
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
2.A Florida Grove
So, Dianne, you've paid your debt
To society, I guess
New Jersey's got no place for me
With all the other fishes in the deep blue sea
Grab your plants and violin
Leave the rest in Hoboken
'Cause once we hit the Sunshine State
Our next destination is the Pearly Gates
We'll wake on a peninsula where we can see
From sea to shining sea
A Florida grove, a Florida grove
Down, down the map we dove
Welcome to the life of ease
Lying underneath orange trees
No one that we know is there
Just me, you and Andy Warhol's hair
It's like a color film we're in
You've always been my heroine
The coast is clear and calm
Stand against the backdrop of the sea and palms
The moon divides the tides
As we lose track of our hands
Beneath the sinking sand
A Florida grove, a Florida grove
Down, down the map we go
I've never heard of a hurricane
And you know I don't know
Nothing 'bout a tidal wave
When the winter comes again
We'll be warm until the end
3.Cinematic
Here come the headlights
And here comes the moonlight
Here comes the afternoon
The shutter closes and opens
And closes with the night
Days that end so suddenly now
We know that things come down
Every time we look around
Say something cinematic
Or become a tragic figure
Who never, never, never says
Nothing to remember
We're counting the frames now
We're numbering the days now
Days, they end so suddenly now
We know that things come down
Every time we look around
Say something cinematic
Or become a tragic figure
Who never, never, neve, says
Nothing to remember
The ether is trembling
It trembles, it trembles
For what is impending
Days, they end so suddenly now
We know that things come down
Every time we look around
4.Always In Trouble
Fractured all the bones of your cities and your homes
Now we're moving on
You know we can't stay somewhere we'll be washed away
So we're moving on
Always in trouble now
Always in trouble now
Always in trouble
Always in trouble
Did you hear we built a farm where there used to be a mall?
Now we're moving on
Pavement starts to crack every time you turn your back
Now we're moving on
Always in trouble now
Always in trouble now
Always in trouble
Always in trouble
Did you hear we built a farm where there used to be a mall?
Now we're moving on
Always in trouble now
Always in trouble now
Always in trouble
Always in trouble
5.Great American Novelist
By the end of the day I'll have nothing to say
Rustling like leaves on the old highway
You looked like the sun so I had to look away
I'll move in pages again, symphonies to amend
Traded in my dialogues for paper and pen
Living in crisp manuscripts till the end
You drove me to this, the great American novelist
Fictionally you fly Pan American lines
Seat belt signs are blinking now in perfect time
Your oxygen mask swaying from side to side
You drove me to this, the great American novelist
And I'm writing it all down so it won't follow me around anymore
I'm falling off the map and never coming back again
But this is my novel
