Im falling into the habit again. of dying at least three times each day. and Im doing it better than you ever could. Im making it look much easier too.
the city waits. . you, youre starting to dissappear. to turn into something else. something I dont want to be. and I. I used to believe in this. I tore myself apart for it.
everyday the people in your head. keep turning into things I dont think I can be. don't you know. if you don't swim you'll go to the bottom of the ocean.
wake up wake up there something running inside again. morning's here and the clouds are just everywhere. and all the thing's you've been dreaming. well they're not even yours to keep.
Did ya read about the flood?. Happened long time ago,. In Tupelo, Mississippi.. There were thousands o' lives,. Destroyed.. . It rained, it rained,. Both night and day..

Looka yonder, looka yonder. Looka yonder, a big black cloud come. . Yonder on the horizon. Yonder on the horizon. Stopped at the mighty river. Sucked the damn thing dry.
Truck love! Right here!. Truck love! Right now!. Bewitched by pure power. That's truck love!. In the gully of your choice. Truck love!. Jam-up on a leaping tree. Head on! Head first!.
In the name of pain. (In the name of pain and suffering). In the name of pain. (In the name of pain and suffering). . There comes a train. (There comes a train).
Well my friends are gone and my hair is gray. I ache in the places I used to play. And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on. I'm paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song.
Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream. A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans, oh yeah. Mr. Sandman he could recite today's lesson in his sleep.
(Cave / Coulais). . Across the oceans across the seas,. Over forests of blackened trees.. Through valleys so still we dare not breathe,. To be by your side..
We were called to the forest and we went down. A wind blew warm and eloquent. We were searching for the secrets of the universe. And we rounded up demons and forced them to tell us, what it all meant?.
I know you've heard it all before. I'm sorry for this three year war. For the setting up of camps and wire and trenches. . I'm sorry for the other night.
The wintergreen, the juniper, the cornflower and the chicory. All the words you said to me still vibrating in the air. The elm, the ash and the linden tree, the dark and deep, enchanted sea.
There is a town where I was born. Far, far away, across the sea. And in that town, oh, where I was born. I would dream, that one day I would leave and cross the sea.
Hey there sugar where ya gunna go?. I'm going downtown Daddy-O. What ya gunna do when you get there, girl?. I'm gunna get messed up in a God-Shaped Hole.
Just like a bird that sings up the sun. In a dawn so very dark. Such is my faith for you. Such is my faith. . All the world's darkness. Can't swallow up a single spark.
Oh yeah, yeah. Yes well, well, well. I took a walk down to the port. Where strangers meet and do consort. . All blinkered with desire. And a winter fog moved thickly on.
Down in the willow garden, me and my love did meet. And as we sat courting, my love fell off to sleep. I had a bottle of burgundy wine, my love, she did not know.
