Big Big Love
03:00
|

|
boisterous builders with some big ideas and big old nerves
teenage girls just laughing and misusing big old words
neighbors with big hearts bigger than back in nyc
and i'm just out here looking for something bigger than me
you run away just to escape and then you miss your home
you're running just to get away from feeling all alone
you got something inside you that's just too hard to express
a hundred and fifty pounds of blood and brains and emptiness
i need you to rescue me i'm lost at sea in my big big love
i got a whole ship to steer i need you here in my big big love
i'm running to find my place there ain't no space in my big big love
i'm ready to start again please let me into your big big love
i'm running out of patience running with this big old team
i'm gonna run on out of town 'fore i run out of steam
she met a man and ran away and left me on a limb
i'm gonna run away too and i'll run faster than him
i'm running by that inlet and i'm running to the sea
i'm running to that road that runs to where i'm supposed to be
the road ran up my debts but then that road made me a man
the road gave me the treasure that i now hold in my hand
but i need you to rescue me i'm lost at sea in my big big love
i got a whole ship to steer i need you here in my big big love
i'm losing my goddamn mind i'm left behind in my big big love
and everything that i do is for the good of some big big love
i'm running to find my place there ain't no space in my big big love
if you're ready to start again please let me into your big big love

Sweaty Poetry

had to sit down had to get down all my thoughts before they get up and skip town
there they go whenever i look down so i got to get up and put my foot down
there's a process gotta do time before you get to get up into the sunshine
i'm an imprint on a bloodline running back into the beginning of time
had to sit down had to get down all my thoughts before they get up and skip town
there they go whenever i look down so i got to get up and put my foot down
had to sit down had to write this though i get so hell bent to fight it
there it goes whenever i don't write right into oblivion out of sight
my palms are getting sweaty 'cause you seem like you're ready to go
and i try to keep mind steady i'm wondering if you already know
when i'm not dozing on the ground you can bet i'll always be found
trying to do too much trying to do too much
and then there's a voice inside my brain each day it's always saying
you're trying to do too much trying to do too much
and every time it says that i want to scream i already know
but everybody's moving and i want to be ready to go

Bodies on the Rhythm

my body's on the rhythm
my rhythm's on the one
you don't have to look too far just to see what you have done
my body's on the rhythm
my rhythm's on the two
but i'll always be off that beat when i'm on the beat with you
when i want somebody want somebody want somebody to love
i find i got to take my time before the going gets too tough
but when i want somebody want somebody want somebody to see
don't care how long is your hair just as long as you're next to me
and your body's on the rhythm
your rhythm's on the three
but you'll always be off that beat when you're on the beat with me
when i want somebody want somebody want somebody to love
i find i got to change my mind before the going gets too tough
but when i want somebody want somebody want somebody to see
don't care how rough is your ware just as long as you're rough with me
and now where's that body where's that body where's that somebody now?
to come around knock my door down and set fire to my house
your body's on the rhythm
your rhythm's on the four
but i'll get you right off that beat soon as you walk right through my door

About the World

oh babe oh babe
don't you want to see this boy smile?
won't you come and ease out my pain?
no babe no babe
you don't want to be by my side
perhaps i'll never see you again
sometimes it feels the world forgot me
and that ain't ever gonna stop me
but i need you to come unlock me
lock away your man instead
and forget about the world with me
i'm so sad so sad
i could settle down on this knife
i could put an end to my world
no babe no babe
i won't burn a hole in my life
just because you won't be my girl
but sometimes it feels the world forgot me
and that ain't ever gonna stop me
but i need you to come unlock me
lock away your man instead
and forget about the world with me
i wish i could tie right up all i thought 'bout all the things that you said
and throw them out into the sea
i'd toss out all the things that i carry and all this stuff that i own
it wouldn't matter a lot to me

Kensington Cowboy

the pace was moving slow and i raced away because there wasn't no more space to grow
but now i want to go home
i lost a lot got a lot of pain to drone and found myself a brand new plane to roam
but now i want to go home
and it's hard to feel full-grown when you're in the sweet sticks and no one picks the bone
yeah it's hard to feel full-grown when you're in the sweet sticks and everyone stays home
i'm just a cowboy looking for a gold mine
haven't found an alloy using up my lifelines
'cause it's too easy to just sit in the cut and remain
my friends said hold off stay and keep your head clear
you gotta be crazy if you're going back there
but i'd be crazy to just stay sane
you're so eager but so burned out then you know exactly what i'm talking about i say oh
you just want to be free
you come for knowledge love and wealth and you find you're just a shadow of your former self oh no
you just wanted to be free
and i find myself worry-prone and i always find that i'm a brand new man alone
but i fancy myself a pot of gold and i fancy i'll find me a brand new hand to hold
i'm just a cowboy looking for a gold mine
floating like a bath toy wasting all my damned time
'cause it's so easy to just just sit in the cut and resign
don't call it lazy just can't keep my head clear
i gotta be crazy thinking you're coming back here
but won't you please just won't you please give me a sign
i take no mercy always staying in fear
i gotta stay thirsty if i want to live here
i swear i'm gonna get that pot of gold
everything is in but i'm living like an outlaw
i would've backed out had i known what i was in for
but now i'm on the brink of so much more

Heaven's Phone
03:43
|

i've always been all by myself i never got to be half of two
i never had nobody else but i always knew i had you
there's a grave condition and i wish it wouldn't take everyone i see
and now this thing has taken you and god i hope that it won't take me
but why do i always have to be so alone?
why do i always have to be so alone?
the silence grows so loud inside when i remember i can't call you
my ears are ringing and i wish my phone would get to ringing too
so why am i always getting a dial tone?
why am i always getting a dial tone?
you need to come on down to the front desk
and pick up heaven's phone
and that's growing up that's life
so go on find some girl to love and then make that girl your wife
but why do they always got the hearts made of stone?
why do they always got the hears made of stone?
you need to come on down to the front desk
and pick up heaven's phone
i wanna call to tell you 'bout my day i wanna call you when i'm bored
i wanna call to say how strange it is that i can't call you anymore
oh why do i always have to be so alone?
why do i always have to be so alone?
you need to come on down to the front desk
and pick up heaven's phone
