Phantom Call
03:25
|
|||
|
Your mind is yelling a name your lips dare not speak
No reflection in your broken eyes, no tears to stain your cheek
The ghost that floats through you and I, a disappearing smile
A haunting touch, a phantom call, they last but a short while
This is the last song I'll write about you
The words just keep you alive
White as a sheet, can't fall asleep
You took me for a dive
A hand is gripping my heart as I try to fall asleep
I wake up with a start I know these feelings I can't keep
Motion pictures, unclear figures, behind my resting eyes
Fake or real, to close the seal, to cut off every tie

I was just a character in your personal narrative
To escape the photo and the frame is my imperative
Will I remember the taste of awkwardness and salty skin?
Memory is outpaced, reality is sinking in
And it is what I've grown to expect
Spending time trying to forget
And it is what I've grown to expect
Spending time trying to forget
We made the headlines of heartbreak in September
The worth unmatched with the cause, talk to the editor
Will I remember the feel, as my own personality peels?
We left our bodies, left the foray, no ones to blame
Separate, tried to escape
The doubled pain of several faces
To make the deadline remember the outline
Forget the time I was your kind, your kind, your kind
And it is what I've grown to expect
Spending time trying to forget
And it is what I've grown to expect
Spending time trying to forget

The Impressionist

Colors on the wall
Haystacks in the fall
Dancers in pastel
Paintings he won't sell
Sketches up the stairs
Of everyday affairs
Portraits on display
Fading shades of grey
Why won't they come off the shelves?
You keep them all for yourself
Why won't you come off the shelf?
Try and let go of your wealth
Well-read and well-versed
Coins spilling out of his purse
Clocks in every room
Servants sweep the broom
Golfing on his greens
Garden party scene
Canopy on every bed
Don't let it go to your head
Why won't they come off the shelves?
You keep them all for yourself
Why won't you come off the shelf?
Try and let go of your wealth

Run

Don't ask me where I'm goin'
Because I couldn't tell you
I've been running for days and
It's somethin' but it's not worth knowin'
If I don't have a clue
Well then it's better that way
It's nothing that I cannot handle
I've been around a block or two
You're lookin' pretty warm in flannel
I guess I'll leave it up to you
Don't ask me for a favor
Because I couldn't help
It's been a blur for days and
Debauchery I once had savored
Got to know it too well
It's blowing up in my face
It's nothing that I cannot handle
I've been around a block or two
You took the higher learning gamble
I got nothin' to prove to you

Foolin' on the human population
I know my mind's on the front line
But when I'm lovin' on the human population
Thank God my heart's playin' its part
One day, one day at a time
One day, one day at a time
Love is the birth of a nation
Born from the good womb of humankind
All these stories of creation
Came from the same flame of the most high
One song, one song at a time
One song, one song at a time
Fearing oh I'm sure gettin' better
With every morn a new fear is born
But when I'm trusting trusting trusting
Knowing that we're in it together
Free to face unknown, free to overcome
One day, one day at a time
One day, one day at a time

Somethin' Sweet

Windows open
Pull back the curtain
I been hurtin' for the light
Eyes been searchin'
and Birds been perchin'
and Everything feels alright
Those high ceilings
I get the feelin'
and Now I'm reelin'
For Somethin' Sweet
In a room full of lovely people
and Everyone has a seat
Windows open
Pull back the curtain
The wind is certain
To blow my hair
I been searchin'
Oh, I been searchin'
but there's treasure everywhere
Oh, there's treasure everywhere

And in your life
You never wanted to
Be somebody
That gets pushed around and abused
But now, five years later
You've managed to find yourself
Alone but still unbruised
Older Now, never did you once try and open your eyes
For once try and open your eyes
And now you've proved
That you're a self-made man
That no one else
Can learn or understand
But now, ten years later
You needed to find someone
To lean on and lend a hand
Older Now, never did you once try and open your eyes
For once try and open your eyes

As the summer fades away
You'll lead me to the garden
Passing the lovers
Swooning in the autumn
See yourself
Your image in the eyes of someone else
See yourself
Your fears as they appear to someone else
When the sun sets
On dark silhouettes
Collapse into dream
Collapse into dream
Collapse into dream
As summer fades away
Laugh at my reflection
Passed to a lover
Seeking your affection
See yourself
Your image in the eyes of someone else
See yourself
Your fears as they appear to someone else
When the sun sets
On dark silhouettes
Collapse into dream
Collapse into dream
Collapse into dream

Howl:
I am the tree.
No-one's still like me.
Silently pondering what my next move will be.
My brother the seed,
Encouragement he needs.
To reach up and grow up are his humble pleas.
Howl goes the wolf, howl goes the wolf
At the night sky, the night sky.
"Who?" says the owl, "Who?" says the owl
To the night sky, the night sky.
My mother the sun,
My bright and only one,
Kisses me with sunbeams before the day is done.
My father the rain
Washes down the plains.
Quench my thirst and help me drink away my pain.
Howl goes the wolf, howl goes the wolf
At the night sky, the night sky.
"Who?" says the owl, "Who?" says the owl
To the night sky, the night sky.
You know you cannot wipe away he sun.
Kiddiez:
Look at all the bodies burning
Singing about the waters churning
Making love and shouting verses
The cops are driving by in hearses
Look at all the kiddies learning how to breathe
Look at all the kiddies smoking in the street
Look at all the barons sweeping up the cash
Look at all the kaisers living in the past
Look at all the war and peace and
All the palms needing greasing
Look at the broken pieces
Swept under the empty leases
Look at all the kiddies learning how to breathe
Look at all the kiddies smoking in the street
Look at all the barons sweeping up the cash
Look at all the kaisers living in the past
Look at all the tellers telling
What to buy and what they're selling
Look at all the truckers moving
All the party people grooving
