Have you waited for the bus this early?
I've been here since 6:15
Wonder if it's worth the worrying
And it's not too comforting
I held on as we all crossed Irving
And headed down Lincoln Way
It was another morning
And a start to another day
If it starts again
I'll never know what to do
Going past the Panhandle
I had a wonderful view
If it starts again
I'll never know what to do
We'll inch our way the whole day
Going up the avenue

Hides Away
01:41
|
|

There's a pillbox on the hill
It's a shooting star
In the river near the mud
Is where you left your car
It's the truth that hides away
In the quiet house
For each rule there's another day to tame
The shiest little mouse
There's a shadow out to kill
It's the empty jar
In the home you heard a thud
It came from not too far
It's the truth that hides away
In the darkened house
For each rule there's another day to walk
The longest seeming mile

When You Look At Me
03:58
|
|

Don't be so sad
When you look at me
Don't stare too long it's rude
When you look at me
You'll blow a lion's tooth
When you look at me
Don't let the past intrude
When you look at me
Don't be so sad
When you look at me
I'll pass the torch right on to you
When you look at me
See the stale room
Hear the door slam
When you look at me
In the back room
Feel my cold hands
When you look at me
Holy moly you're so fine
You're always blowing up my mind
Everybody's singing it again
Brother, sister, morning mister
Everybody's singing it again

Big Man
01:57
|
|
||
Big man on your own you try to
Pick up all the stones that you had left behind
Passed by another rock that waits for you
Old enough to hold your own now
But I've seen you pluck the strings of a dandelion
Each flower's a little piece that falls from you

If I Could Pass the Time
02:49
|
|
||
If I could pass the time
I would do it with you
If I could read in City Lights
I would do it too
When you walk the streets at night
I will be there with you
When you cross the borderline
I will cross it too
When you pull the fence from under
I will crawl for you
When you dig the trenches of war
I will dig it too
When you're fast asleep
I will be there with you
The gun blasts and airplanes strikes
Will be there too

Three Hills
05:03

Three hills away
I'll wait for you
Each moment passing slower
It's all I could do
Three hills away
You're never on time
Each second is an hour
When I caught
The sight of your style
You opened up the door for me
When I thought
That you would be a while
You opened up the door for me
If there's a way
For you to view
That the taste has gotten sour
There's nothing much to do
Three hills away
It's become my fate
To want something in the moment
But I have to wait and wait
When I thought that you would be a while
You opened up the door for me
You have to know I'm ready
And in a sense unsteady
You know I can't get anywhere without you

Looking for Manuel
02:48
|
|
||
The king is in the castle
While the servants scrub the floor
They say it's such a hassle
And it's such a useless chore
Manny's in the back house
And he never seems to leave
He's putting on his mom's blouse
And he's playing make-believe
I remember the starlit nights
I remember the endless fights
What I remember the most
Is how he used to brag and boast
Looking for Manuel
Where could he be?
Looking for Manuel
I hear he's looking for me
You said you're looking for Manuel

Why Hose It
04:33
|
|
||
Open your package
Or unravel your mail
Crumple all the paper
That's lining my table
If it seems too much
I won't cause a fuss
You tried growing a cabbage
Out on the fire escape
I watch all the aphids
Eat it like steak
If it seems too much
I'll try not to fuss
Why even hose it down
The thought seems to haunt your dreams
Why even call the cops anymore
When the love is not as it seems

Sing A Tune
02:22
|
|
||
Sing a tune before my bed
Hope you don't misunderstand my cause
When I insist that the curtains draw
It's all better darling, don't you fuss
Soon your dreams will fill your head
You spent the daylight
Waiting for this time
You practice every moment for the climb
Don't expect the morning to be kind
