I can't break these plans They fall around like ash Flower petal dance...a trance You can feel the blast It rolls over the land Nuclear answers in...the wind By first light, our hands are held tight It's alright You touch your hair the sun won't meet you there But I might The trees are white Less capable of flight in hindsight You touch your hair the sun won't meet you there But I might I can't break these plans Expanding like a smile Barefoot, scared, and mild...a child You won't see the sand It keeps turning into glass This will come to pass...a flash (So come on help me split the atom) By first light, our hands are held tight It's alright You touch your hair, the sun won't meet you there, But I might The trees are white Less capable of flight in hindsight You touch your hair, the sun won't meet you there, But I might The Sunshine Tells No Stories Walking Through The Tall Grass Lonely The sunshine don't but it's alright The trees are nice but they're not mine, it's alright The sunshine, left-right, on time. The trees are white but it's alright, yea...it's alright The Sunshine Tells No Stories Walking Through The Tall Grass Lonely

Maroon Man 02:50
there's a nice new maroon house down my street with a garden in the back that makes it seem off beat and clean from the urban path with its nice new windows and its fresh cut grass and the man who lives there reflects the color with his pale blue eyes and his red sweater you can see him stuck sinking in his maroon hammock with his paint stained plants looking oh so tragic we're so sick we wanna go home we don't believe in miracles there's a mailbox waiting to be built there's a birdhouse waiting to be filled there's a newspaper waiting to be red there's a seismograph stuck in his head yea we're so sick we wanna go home we don't believe in miracles Love Love Love lost from the middle or doomed from the start?

Pirate Ship 03:40
I'm not one for faking smiles Kick the grains in sandy piles (honestly it's backwards) I've got no love for dirty beaches Dusty skies with cloudy features This is not a pirate ship It's safe to say it's sinkin' quick Watching the waves go by Covered in Nature's light You're too good for You're too good for me Flipping through the radio dials Oil spills and murder trials (I swear someday I'll have one) Crooked storefronts colored teal Mid-day traffic turning wheels I SAID, "This is not a pirate ship, it's safe to say we're sinkin' kinda quick" that's okay... Watching the waves go by Colored in Nature's light You're too good for You're too good for me Watching the waves go by Colored in Nature's light You're too good for You're too good for Watching the waves go by (I try to say hi...but its not like you're alive) Covered in Nature's light You're too good for You're too good for anyone but me

You said to me that the skies were blue Why would you wanna be so cruel cause when I crossed the desert The rain was pouring on my sweater You took me and warmed me up Poured some home brewed tea in a cup I told you mine and you showed me yours All over the kitchen and bathroom floors This is not The way it coulda coulda shoulda woulda been but it you thought it was love It was not Because it's blind like a bird in a cage when you cover it up Sand on my shades from the sick hot wind That knocked me down and made me spin There’s a lizard blizzard hiding out for me There’s a zigzag smile on this snow white sea This book of changes from ancient times Left me nothing but with broken lines This road is nowhere these plants are sharp They cut me deep and break my heart This is not The way it coulda coulda shoulda woulda been but you thought it was love It was not Because it’s blind like a bird in a cage when you cover it up No one ever want's the desert I have found Never move a hand to keep you around Keep quiet like a bird under cactus dirt When the sun goes down...never make a sound This is not The way it coulda coulda shoulda woulda been but you thought it was love It was not Because it's blind like a bird in a cage when you cover it up You Thought It Was...

it was all a dream and it came to me in daytime shifts and rays of golden-green like a story told in a hallway where the days collect like leaves dream of find someone to love part the frozen sea where the winters air was gravity it held you close to me the sky was turning black but light was shining back in colors we can't see snow falls we're not going home the time was gold around your arm it clicks its song your payload was received by painted ghosts who haunt this home i try i try i try to bridge the gap between the wind and hot cement it bends beneath me the pressure breaks the yellow masks release the storm was over the girls the ghosts are fake the freight trains run on time suicide notes and i could sing them the moon the waster breathing colors on my mind this paper ball game has no rhythm I can’t bite the boat There’s something wrong with me Pass me the remote the TV silk screen and Channel surfing at the beach The counter culture chords Hung-up in the backyards and Trees are fast asleep Beneath the plasma machine It holds the beat, on a string Unwind through the fire of a dream The old recycled moon Keeps traveling westward so Shave the Styrofoam From off the autumn leaves A tree stuck in a hole Got a soul to keep Trapped in the drain/vains? of its roots The phosphorescent rain Flooded up valleys and Streets are painted gold By weeping time machines Reposed and resold Beneath the thought regime Vanishing ink coats my page Your blue lipstick bruise Caught the breath leaving my Lungs are fit to use A pink lobotomy Eyes are on the loose Someone new to meet Holding your hand at the beach And no red dotted shell Fell in the cave of your teeth
