Confluence
03:33

People just want compliments to outshine the bad weather outside
Bad weather in my mind, dark and cloudy days all the time
People just want confluence, two rivers joining side by side
I think about it all the time
Sight unseen
We're part of a very different dream
I came along it was sight unseen, we're the same from a very different dream
I'm everywhere that you have been, treading water in an ill-begotten stream
You can claim incompetence, Get your water from a deep hole in the ground
Go claim incompetence, Drink water from a dark hole in the ground
I was born in an elevator
Going down to see you later, yeah
Going down in an elevator
Reborn to see you later, yeah
People just want confluence, two rivers joining side by side

I Invoke Ragnarock

Her memory flows
Into the Rio Grand twisting running winding through the land - through the land
Bullets fly
They will pierce the sky, situation's getting out of hand - out of hand
Everything is paved in stone
And the world has come undone
So run - baby run
Distraught valium vixens vanish in the air
While handsome politicians learn not to care
Gouge the blame lick the brain
Make wishes on the hurricane
It's all the progress all the gain we can spare
We can spare
Her memory flows
And disappears back into the dark places it once began - it began
Place to hide
Now fill with light like a palm grabbing sifting sand - out of hand
Everything is paved in stone
And the world has come undone
So run - baby run
Distraught valium vixens vanish in the air
While handsome politicians learn not to care
Gouge the blame lick the brain
Make wishes on the hurricane
It's all the progress all the gain we can spare
We can spare

White Hospital Room
02:57

|
He's happy in his pot, his new sunny spot
She watched the nest explode into a million spiders
If that happened to me, I'd go somewhere for a week, somewhere oh so clean
Like a white hospital room
Where Randy's got rabies
Judy just went blind
Andy's in the alley
But we can't find Jim
Hope he finds us before they find him
Practised and predisposed
Candy coated Nyquil nose
Licked clean of the memories that bruise and scar and heal
Devil's eyes and trinket toys
Pretty girls and naughty boys
Forget about all the noise it's time to make a deal
'Cause Randy's got rabies
Judy just went blind
Andy's in the alley
But we can't find Jim
Hope he finds us before they find him
He's happy in his pot, his warm and sunny spot
She watched the nest explode into a million spiders
If that happened to me, I'd go somewhere for a week, somewhere oh so clean
Like a white hospital room
Where Randy's got rabies
Judy just went blind
Andy's in the alley
But we can't find Jim
Hope he finds us before they find him

Something Temporary
02:53
|

When I was three my dog was hit by a car
On the highway that ran next to our family farm
Gone to heaven, gone to live on a cloud
Gone to heaven, chase his tail round a cloud
When I was seven my friend fell in the lake
His lungs filled up with water and fish from the lake
Gone to heaven, gone to live on a cloud
Gone to heaven, skipping rocks on a cloud
When I was ten I dreamed that I was a bird
Til an arrow pierced my chest and brought me to earth
Gone to heaven, gone to live on a cloud
Gone to heaven, build a nest in a cloud
Up here we watch the planets spin round and round
Watch the planets spin round and round
Watch the planets spin round and round
Watch the planets spin round and round
Little people, little scurry around
Little people, little scurry around
Little people, little scurry around
Little people

Vertical Stranger
03:03
|

I wanna take a run outside this room
Right into a perfect stranger
The kind of man who sits outside the tomb
And laughs in the heart of danger
I wanna take a run outside this room
Right into a vertical stranger
The kind of man who sits outside the tomb
And laughs in the heart of danger
Went to the cinema downtown
You know the kind that shows the movies
Head planted firmly on the ground
Lights down and enjoy the movie
Went to the cinema downtown
You know the kind that shows the movies
Bomb’s planted in the lost and found
Head down and aware of my duty
Sitting in the corner of the room
Head down on the top of the table
Thinking about the position to assume
I’ll talk when I’m feeling able
Sitting in the corner of the room
Head down on the top of the table
So many bodies to exhume
I’ll talk when I’m feeling able

Heartstrings
04:41
|

|
The hungry cries are not disguised
Not here
Harder on the heartstrings
My dear
Alibis are bastardized by fear
Harder on the heartstrings
My dear
The babies cries aren't recognised
Not here
Harder on the heartstrings
My dear
Alibis are bastardized by fear
Harder on the heartstrings
My dear
