MY YOUNGER BROTHER CRASHED YOUR FATHER'S OLDSMOBILE
HE SAID THIS IS NOT A TEST
HE GOT OUT AND SAID I KINDA LIKED THE WAY THAT FEELS
THIS IS NOT A TEST
AND I SAW YOU ON THE DOCKS
YOU WERE WEARING A RED BANDANNA
AND YOU SHOWED ME PICTURES OF THE MOON
AFTER YESTERDAY'S CRASH
NO ONE FEELS LIKE BREAKFAST
AFTER YESTERDAY'S CRASH
NO ONE FEELS LIKE MUCH
AFTER YESTERDAY'S CRASH .....
MY LITTLE SISTER SAW THE TWISTED CHARRED REMAINS
SAIL THAT SHIT AWAY
SHE'D ALWAYS HAD A PECULIAR INTEREST IN TRAINS
SAIL THAT SHIT AWAY
MAMA TOOK THE LAST TRAIN TO CHICAGO
STAY WITH ME TONIGHT
SHE MET A MAN WHO'D BEEN TO SEE
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BALL MADE OF JUST BARBED WIRE
STAY WITH ME TONIGHT

WHAT DO YOU
RECOGNIZE
IN THESE HUNDRED THOUSAND LIES
WITH YOUR MODERN EYES
FOR PERFECTION
I HAVE TRADED
RECOGNITION
I HAVE WAITED FOR
FOR EVERLASTING FAME
WILL EVER BE DENIED
RECOGNITION
OF MY HAND IF NOT MY LIFE
YOU SAY, FOR ALL YOU’VE GOT
YOU SAVED FOR ALL YOU GOT
YOU SAVOR ALL YOU’VE GOT
ALL YOU FORGOT
ALL YOU FORGOT
ALL YOU FORGOT

Go to sleep, you're here
Let your childhood sorrows disappear
Go to sleep, it's late
Watch your childhood wounds disintegrate

In a million shades of skin
Michaela sees me (ba da ba ba)
Backing up we may begin

A continent's span, a welcoming hand, a face
Em C Am Bb- F Gsus G
A decade or more from here to your shore to fall into your embrace
And Michaela sees me (ba da ba ba)
In a million shades of skin
Michaela sees me (ba da ba ba)
Backing up we may begin
Michaela sees me (ba da ba ba)
ba da ba ba...

PEOPLE WERE KIND THEN THEY’RE ANIMALS NOW
DON’T GO TO TOWN THEY GOT TROUBLES IN TOWN
A GOOD EDUCATION IS THE PATH TO SUCCESS
THE NEW GENERATION IS A SEXIFIED MESS
WHATEVER JENNY SAYS, GOES
AND NO ONE WILL BE THE WISER
WHATEVER JENNY SAYS, GOES
AND NO ONE WILL BE THE WISER
WHATEVER JENNY SAYS, GOES
AND NO ONE WILL BE THE, NO ONE WILL BE THE, NO ONE WILL BE THE
(REPEAT)
JENNY SAYS, JENNY SAYS, JENNY SAYS, JENNY EH-OH
JENNY SAYS, JENNY SAYS, JENNY SAYS, EH OH
(REPEAT)
GENESIS GENESIS GENESIS JENNY EH-OH
GENESIS, GENESIS UH UH UH OH
(REPEAT)
I GET HARD MY KNEES GO WEAK
DISCARD IDEOLOGICAL CRITIQUE
JAW SLACK DOWN ON MY KNEES
PREPARE FOR WISDOM I RECEIVE

Equanimity

EQUANIMITY
G
it's a pleasant confusion with no resolution in sight
all your temperature readings have been slightly misleading despite all this breathing and this velvety night
C
though you've tried to make a bed for me
i've been thrown off my legs by your bounding sea
G
but you bring me home in your
equanimity
G
Gentle now, patience now, gentle now, patience now
Am Bm C D
don't ask how ... or why ... or who ... are you
G
patience now, gentle now, patience now, oh and how
Am Bm C D C/E D/F#
could we find ... some other.. way .. to ... do ... you
I can taste your reaction, but I'm getting no traction this time
i could blame the ship sinking on my damn overthinking or the same thing that's kinking up my body and mind
there's a sweeping feeling deep in me
sees me lose my towering solidity
but you bring me home in your ... equanimity
Gentle now, patience now, gentle now, patience now
don't ask how .. or why ... or who ... are you
patience now, gentle now, patience now, oh and how
could we find some other way to ... do ... you

All Your Wendys
03:49

WHEN WE LAST HAD LEFT OFF
HAD YOU LIT OFF FOR THE WEST
DREAMING OF UNCONQUERED NATIONS
WITH A WILTING MEMORY
AND A WILLING GIRL
WE MIGHT CALL WENDY
WE PICK UP OUR HISTORY
ILLITERATE, BORN OF FRUSTRATION
TIME REGAINED, HOW TIME FLIES
DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT YOUR ALIBI
DELIVER ME BEFORE I DIE
TO THE DAUGHTERS OF UNCONQUERED NATIONS
NOW TURNPIKES TURN TO NIGHTMARES
AND ALL ROADS LEAD TO HOMES
WENDYS BECOME WOMEN WHERE YOU ROAM
AND ALL THE WORLD'S YOUR HOLSTER
KEEP YOUR WEAPON COOL
WENDYS HALF-FORGOTTEN WILL KNOW YOU
NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY
HYMNALS OPEN! PAGE FIFTEEN.
SING TO ME THAT THINGS ARE WHAT THEY SEEM.
TURNPIKES WAKE YOU FROM YOUR DREAMS
GARDENS LIE UNDER YOUR ROADWAYS
THOUGH YOU'LL NEVER SHED A TEAR
FOR THIS OPPOSITE OF A FRONTIER
SET ASIDE THAT WHICH APPEARS IN YOUR DUST-COVERED TROPHIES OF GLORY DAYS
(THE SAME HAND HOLDS YOU AS THE HAND THAT LETS YOU GO)

I Remember Travis

I remember Travis
We were brothers savage
Eloquent and avid
Jeu de mots sublime
In our desert palace
Wardrobes halfway ravaged
Geniuses of damage
Lighting touched by crime
I remember Travis
Where you walk
You’ll find forests
Where you sit
You’ll find shade
Where you’ve been
I can’t get there
So hold on to what we’ve made
Schoolhouses crumble
Pumpkins rot
Oceans roar
History rumbles
What you’ve got
You’ve gotta get some more
You’ve gotta get some more
I remember Travis
We were brothers savage
Eloquent and avid
Jeu de mots sublime
In our desert palace
Wardrobes halfway ravaged
Geniuses of damage
Lighting touched by grime
I remember Travis
Love is right
By your side
In your body
In the ground
And you’re always
Growing older
We have systems
We have sound
Postmarked Australia
L.A.’s waiting
L.A.’s gone
Love will never fail ya
Just remember
What we’ve done
What we’ve done
I remember Travis
We were brothers savage
Eloquent and avid
Jeu de mots sublime
In our desert palace
Wardrobes halfway ravaged
Geniuses of damage
Lighting touched by time
