Like Drops of Mercury (Slipping Over a Fork) 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Let's spend hours stare at storms in the wood grain The smile, the thrill, the killer changed lanes The jungle gym hit the car deep in his blindspot Las olas, las tormentas this our last shot Put on some formless music for the age to come Immaculate, immaculate, the stars blocked the sun It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down She's so High I am out with lanterns, seeking myself The pennies, your eyelids, no sense of wealth She had questions, and this felt wrong This heaven, this hurting, she bled out this song Sun circles the earth like a grieving mother The critics, the critics, they will find another It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down She's so High

Beaks Bloody 02:33

Hey there birdy, birdy, I got myself a little bit of a bone to pick with you Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me Your feathers look so weird, and that beak looks a little funny to me Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me I don't know how and don't know why, but no one here really likes my kind Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me Hospitality is not the bending of the knee Hospitality is not the bending of the knee Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me Push me down down Get back up up Can't you change anything Can't you change anything Listen birdy, birdy, you know you better fly right Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me Mama bird has flown the roost, it's time for you to meet your truth Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me I don't know what I've been told, but bloody beaks are all that's sold Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me If it were up to me, we'd all be seen. If it were up to me, we'd all be seen Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me Push me down down Get back up up Can't you change anything Can't you change anything I balled my fist, I threw the punch The bully thought he'd get my lunch The tears that flowed, surprised our eyes This bully reduced, to just some guy The mother, the father The sister, the brother The taxi driver down the street who just lost his lover The policeman, my sensei, the guy I met last Wednesday We give it to each other We give it to each other If you get pushed down I'll pick you up Did that change anything Did that mean anything If they push you down I'll help you up No, I'm not your enemy, not your enemy

Here she comes Five and a half Miles high There she is, coming down the staircase There she is, coming down the staircase I can't be Who she needs And she's here with him There she is, coming down the staircase There she is, coming down the staircase In Kathmandu And base camp, too She was on her own There she is, coming down the staircase There she is, coming down the staircase She asked Derek what's wrong with you He said I don't know, baby It turned out that he was Into Pierre who hailed from Amsterdam She was crying, and I just held her hand There she is, coming down the staircase There she is, coming down the staircase Here she comes Ten and a half Minutes late There she is, coming down the staircase There she is, coming down the staircase Can't believe What I see She's here with me There she is, coming down the staircase There she is, coming down the staircase

Gift of Guilt That Just Keeps on Giving 02:20
lyrics

I didn't mean to do nothing wrong by surviving the plane crash There were things that I failed to do, my tray table upright We dive, we dip The pilot let it slip we are bracing for impact The attendants are pouring the last of the red The attendants are now pouring the last of the red I got to wake up this morning Surprise! It's the gift of guilt Oh you shouldn't have Look at another new day dawning Surprise! It's the gift of guilt Oh you shouldn't have Surprise! It's the gift of guilt Oh you shouldn't have This plane is going down The rescue team digged through the debris yeah, there ain't no survivors There are things that I do regret, as climbed through the window We dive, we dip The pilot let it slip we are bracing for impact This cabin pressure's dropping way too fast This cabin pressure's dropping way too fast I got to wake up this morning Surprise! It's the gift of guilt Oh you shouldn't have Look at another new day dawning Surprise! It's the gift of guilt Oh you shouldn't have Surprise! It's the gift of guilt Oh you shouldn't have This plane is going down

Since I was 17 The source of my anxiety Was you, before I knew you Feel out of place Like a club kid televangelist What am I doing here Peace is joy at rest And joy is peace stood up Let's tune in, the last music on Earth We are infinite Beings going through, a finite A finite experience Hush, hush, hush, baby This is an old hurt for a new fear Hush, hush, hush, baby You belong here Right here Here with me If I fall, I fall The one I become afterall Will catch me, set me down here It's all about going home At least I hope that's so I hope so, in the end Oh this Harvest Moon Watch her eyes in bloom Everything's brighter, with you here Come a little closer now Wanna see you dance, in this streetlight Come dance with me Hush, hush, hush, baby This is an old hurt for a new fear Hush, hush, hush, baby You belong here Right here Here with me Please please baby, don't shake no more

I really, really thought we were past this Are you home Do you really think this effort needs a special plan Are you home I really was hoping that I wouldn't fit the bill Are you home Something yet to see You've seen as much from me I'm falling outta the tree Sometimes, sometimes Can't Use Me if I'm useless Can't Use Me if I'm useless Honestly, this whole things feels so tragic Are you home Stay at home, and don't you deal with the traffic Are you home I learned, I left, I lied until I fit the bill Are you home Something yet to see You've seen as much from me I'm falling outta the tree Sometimes, sometimes Can't Use Me if I'm useless Can't Use Me if I'm useless All these people can't use you if you're useless So let's be useless People can't use you if you're useless So let's be useless

The drugs fell out Fell out of my pocket As I did a somersault Across your floor And I fell in love In love with the actress Playing the role of my wife Oh, the part she was born to play Do you think - we'll realize Leapt through hoops - and eulogized Just break me, please break me Love gets tangled - marginalized Late nights are - circumscribed Just break me, please brake me Come over tonight And break me like a promise you'll never keep Well, the drugs wore off Wore off at the interview And I would not confirm My own birthday We fell in love In love in Barbados And she did not want to leave And I knew we couldn't stay Do you think - we'll realize Leapt through hoops - and eulogized Just break me, please break me Love gets tangled - marginalized Late nights are - circumscribed Just break me, please brake me Come over tonight And break me like a promise you'll never keep Sleeping too close to a box fan I realized I like it better when rules don't apply And everyday with you is like just walking on the moon How come no one told me how cool the keytar looked The drugs fell out Fell out of my pocket As I did a somersault Across your floor And I fell in love In love with the actress Playing the role of my wife Oh, the part she was born to play Do you think - we'll realize Leapt through hoops - and eulogized Just break me, please break me Love gets tangled - marginalized Late nights are - circumscribed Just break me, please brake me Come over tonight And break me like a promise you'll never keep

What if We Lost the Moon? 05:35
lyrics

Well I don't think We could ask directions here And I'll be the first to admit that I don't know where we are Mission control Asked us for a status report At least two hours ago, who knows it might be more We found ourselves in love in outer space Days and nights were fine once we finally shed our gravity What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere First time, airlock The sun just hits so nice Get out of your space suit and let's find ourselves a drink She left a note In my helmet on the hatch I open my Valentine, she's counting Saturn's rings Dust off the stardust from the mantle We can spend the day exploring Uranus What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere Lunar Explorer, This is mission control All systems are go. It's been quite the patrol The coms are all working. So's the vocal enhancer And we've called 16 times, so um-Why won't you answer Life support - Check. Looks like you're thriving But look guys - You gotta know the time's arriving To pack up your moon rocks. Get out of this place You gotta leave soon or you'll be trapped up in space What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere Yes, we're lost And we'll probably die up here Plenty doing the same thing back home, without the view Houston is pissed We're mixing Tangaritas I carved our names into the cargo bay door I'll hang the space suits on the clothes line You look so beautiful by the light of Uranus What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere Joke's over people. Come on time to go I know you're okay, but your air's running low Now that medical sensors are all activated It looks like your heart rates are quite elevated Water's level's good, but it won't last forever But you know that. That's why you're showering together If you turn around now, you don't have to be hurried But It's time to come home guys. Your spouses are worried What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere What if we don't say nothing Float around up in this atmosphere

How to Abandon Ship 02:57
lyrics

O Captain, my Captain The rum is getting low The rats are running rampant Having fun down below No land off the bow To the port or to the stern Batten down the hatches As we head into this storm Brave Captain, The vessel O she heaves so bad Twill take a miracle For us to make land O Captain, my Captain The hour gets so late Change our course now And save this sailor's fate O Captain! my Captain! rise up to hear the bells O Captain, my Captain Our ship ain't so great The sails are torn and tattered The deck ripped but hey The leaks hold for now A Nor'easter heads our way Forty days no land in sight The provisions spoil away Brave Captain, The vessel O she heaves so bad Twill take a miracle For us to make land O Captain, my Captain The hour gets so late Change our course now And save this sailor's fate O Captain! my Captain! rise up to hear the bells O Captain, my Captain Our ship ain't so great The sails are torn and tattered The deck ripped but hey The leaks hold for now A Nor'easter heads our way Forty days no land in sight The provisions spoil away Brave Captain, The vessel O she heaves so bad Fear another blow Will let sink us in the deepest of ends Keel cracked, anchor lost Gale has torn her apart, I bet we never see our port O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowd For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turn Here Captain! Dear father This arm beneath your head
