Oh, kiss the mountain air we breathe
Good-bye it's time to fly.
Sparrow climb, the air is thinner,
Open wings cast this valley in the shade.

Fires dance the shadows
Winds whisper the trees
Mother talkin' the water's
Spirit moves, it moves through all things.

Oh, kiss the mountain air we breathe
Good-bye it's time to fly.
Sparrow climb, the air is thinner,
Open wings cast this valley in the shade.

Fires dance the shadows
Winds whisper the trees
Mother talkin' the water's
Spirit moves, it moves through all things.

Bear gone fishin', mermaids missin'
Got to get to the bottom of this
Kissin' the wound from the captain's harpoon
Unexpected moment of bliss
Loss is closer, tip of exposure
It's sunny at the edge of the sea
Baby knows what she really wants
She get the most of make believe

Spy vs. Spy, baby's a freak show
Line forms just to the right of your keyhole

Follow and cruisin', ain't it amusin'
Hair hardly moves in the breeze
Baby gets restless, breaks out of fortress
Soon there'll be somethin' to see
Forces close her, glimpse of exposure
It's sunny at the edge of the sea
Baby knows what she really wants
She makes the most of make believe

LyricsSpy vs. Spy, baby's a freak show
Lines form just to the right of your keyhole
Eyes from the paintings seem to follow
Mirrors cap both ends of your telescope.

Ah, shucks
Sweet
Petite

Spy vs. Spy

Spy vs. Spy, baby's a freak show
Lines form just to the right of your keyhole
Eyes from the paintings seem to follow
Mirrors cap both ends of your telescope.

you can hear, hear it comin'
like a train out of control
it surely leaves you wonderin'
exactly where your ticket goes
scream at the conductor
he's been deaf for 20 years
hear the other people laughin'
as it grinds to where it began

go to grab your nerve
you find that it's been missin'
see you've lost your faith
in everyone you know
well i surely hope
that you dont plan on winnin'
there's no payin more attention
won't until you care
you are seconds from the impact
and were movin way too slow

you say time will surely mold you
Lyricsinto somethin' you dont like
now your runnin' like a rabbit
stick your finger in the dyke
look around your room
you find the bed is peelin'
your effective skin is fallin' off your bones
well i must admit i know just how your feelin'

we must grab eachothers collar
must rise out of the water
to know as well as i do and
it's no fun to die alone

after all that i've been through
your the only one that matters
(climb to safety)
you never left me in the dark
here on my own
(climb to safety)
i can hear the water risin'
let me be your ladder
(climb to saftey)
i promise you'll be dry
and never be alone

tell me love has always scared you
like the things under your bed
baby we can walk on water
like some junkies swore they did
you call me on the phone
you say that it is crucial
stick your fingers in your ears till they explode
mind his business and roll along as usual

we must grab eachothers collar
rise out of the water
to know as well as i do and
it's no fun to die alone

after all that i've been through
your the only one that matters
(climb to safety)
you never left me in the dark
here on my own
(climb to safety)
i can hear the water risin'
let me be your ladder
(climb to saftey)
i promise you'll be dry
and never be alone

after all that i've been through
your the only one that matters
(climb to safety)
you never left me in the dark
here on my own
(climb to safety)
i can hear the water risin'
let me be your ladder
(climb to saftey)
i promise you'll be dry
and never be alone

yeah yeah climb to saftey
whoa whoa climb to saftey (safety)
yeah yeah climb to saftey

Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there
Once I almost saw him make his move
Brave Indian who never changes his mood
In a painting on the wall right there

Oh, how long 'til the morning wakes
Oh, how long 'til the medicine takes

Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below
Just a bein' without a care
Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food
Maybe open up a window for air

Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake
Oh, now, now, now I feel the medicine take

Just like home
Where the stray dogs go through it all
Still right here, still just here,
Brave little friend

LyricsWell, we got a party goin' on many spirits strong
Ain't preacher just a happy to meet ya
Half a bottle 'neath the bed keep our spirits fed
My hat's off to you, to you and you

And now our brave friends, too, dancing circles through the room
And a broom and a radio and a twistin out a dos-e-do
Brand new day, the whole world's goin'
Whole room's goin' so

Just now, don't hesitate (hesitate)
Oh, taste the morning break (morning break)
Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb)
On, now, now, now just like home (just like home)

Oh, just like, just like home
Where the stray dogs go
Oh, oh, rest my bones
Like a fresh skipped stone to it all

Still right here, still just here,
Still just here, brave, brave friend

My name is The Waker
and I'm bringing you the morning sun
I've pushed the old man up forever
still I feel I've just begun...
I've just begun....

My name is Treetop
and I'm higher then you'll ever be
I'm married to my roots here
still I feel like I am free...
Feelin I'm free...

My name is Blue sky
and I'm bluer then all of you
I've watched you run around forever
always searching for something new...

There's nothing new...
Feeling I'm free...
I've just begun...
I'm always young...
Love's always new...

[No lyrics]

So long, baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man


Don't ever tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Now, all my friends and relatives, they've been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around, don't come around no more


Ever since the day you left this Earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job
Yeah, ever since the day you left this Earth
Can't keep a job, can't keep a job
A lot of people down at the agency been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around, don't come around no more


So long, baby since you've been gone
LyricsI'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
So long, baby since you've been gone
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man


Don't ever tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man
You never meant to shoot him down
Now, all my friends and relatives, they've been tellin' me
Don't come around, don't come around, don't come around no more


I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man
I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man

Feeling alone but we are here
Paying the toll for our little world
Days like these seem to take some time
When they're over, you will find

Wait for you, see you through
It's what we've known all this time
We're taking you to break their rules
It's what we've done all the while

Put you in this place to change your mind
Take away things that were your life
After they've made their example of you
Their fun is over and you are through

Wait for you, see you through
It's what we've known all this time
We're taking you to break their rules
It's what we've done all the while

Feeling alone but we are here
Paying the toll for our little world
Days like these seem to take some time
When they're over, you will be fine

Well, One-Arm Steve, yeah he threw me out the door
Said come back sometime when your picture's on the wall
Hey now, you got to get on out, got no time to field your problems
God damn, the repo man, been knocking on the door
Said sonny won't you walk this line, and put your hands up on the car
Well, he may not be a talker, but he always knows what's going on


So Sister Ann, she sat my ass up on the table
Said sit still son, 'cause this won't hurt a bit
Hey, now she's got a wonder drug for this deaf, dumb, and blind man
Took me to the hospital, some nurse rolled up my sleeve
Hey Annie, break my walking stick, and work a miracle on me
She may not be the doctor, but she always knows what's going on


Well Say Hey Willy Mays, what's in your suitcase full of wonders
Big city doctor fix me up and make me right
He said poppin' the devil's pills, will take you straight to hell, boy
God damn, the reaper man, he just walked through the door
He said sonny won't you step outside and we can settle on your soul
Willie Mays is not a toker, but he always knows what's going on


Yeah, he may not be a toker, but he always knows what's going on

The Cadillacs roll, Katie step to the side
Tellin' jokes with strangers
A kind glance at a lonely passer-by
Jingle bells, electric lights
Oh, they rattle 'gainst the shopping cart
Even on the fourth of July

Christmas Katie calls people names
They're Dancers, and Blitzens, and angels on high

Chilly bones laughin' after the night
Oh, the hungries come and go
As he blows with his eyes froze tight
Slidell boy, big city nights
Oh, he tips his hat for dinner
An old stray beggin' for a bite

Oh, Christmas Katie, babe, blow your horn
Play something happy, leave the sad one's alone
Crackin' a smile as small as wishes
Make us some merry, make it last for a while
Lyrics
Hey, puttin' out the dog, put the wheels on tight
Oh, play another sweet song
Never wanna see Katie cry
Jingle bells, electric lights
They rattle 'gainst the shopping cart
Even on the fourth of July

Oh, Christmas Katie, baby blow that horn
Play something happy, leave the sad ones alone
Slidell smiles as small as wishin'
Make us some merry, make it last for a while
Oh, make it last all night!

Black heart sun rides the sky
Now your eyes are running dry
Oh, like the space around me
I take my spot in time

Who knows who is both your best friend and brother
When everyone's deserted you
Who'd shoot first and ask questions later
If anybody's messed with you
Pretty soon we'll all be tumblin' like a barrel
Thrown from the top of the waterfall, well
I'm drowning in piranhas in the river
Man, what a drag, man

Black heart sun rides the sky
Now your wells are runnin' dry
Like the space around me
I take my spot in time

Who knows who is both your best friend and brother
When everyone's deserted you
LyricsWho'd shoot first and ask questions later
If anybody's messed with you
Pretty soon we'll all be tumblin' like a barrel
Thrown from the top of the waterfall, well
I'm drowning in piranhas in the river
Man, what a drag!
Man, what a drag!
Man, what a drag!

I was talkin' to my teacher
Said I didn't have a clue
I think my principles are reachin'
An all time low
I saw my lady in the streetlight
She was walkin' with her man
They were headed for the fire
That was burnin' in the sand
I think my principles are reachin'
An all time low
I think my principles are reachin'
An all time, all time low
All time low
All time low
All time low
All time low

We're rolling the windows for this ride
And there's not much time to take things slow
We will turn our heads into the sunrise
As the storms rage in the west
And we're going down to see my lady luck

Now I'm not really interested in telling you my mind
Just let me drag another before you go, I'm a broken wire
Now nobody knows where to find us cause it ain't nobody's loss

And I can't decide if this place is make-believe
And worked all my life to turn sleet to snow
We will turn our heads into the sunset
As the storms rage in the east
And we're going down to see my lady luck

Now I'm not really interested in telling you my mind
Just let me drag another before you go, I'm a broken wire
Now nobody knows where to find us cause it ain't nobody's loss

Well, it's nobody's loss
Nobody's loss
Nobody's loss
Nobody's loss
