Feel the waves gonna come crashing, may tip your boat. She don't listen to the ocean, she just hugs that shore, scared of broken bones and how they might find her. I don't know why they're feeding the fire. I don't know what I'm feeling or why but I know, As sure as boots on the floor, I aint marching for no war. She don't listen any more To the people on the street She just hunkers down in instinct Stop pickin' at that old dead skin. It's my fortress, thats why I guard it. Oh see them ghosts on T.V , Slitting their own throats, with nothing coming out, but confetti and bank notes. I don't know what we're fighting for, I don't know what we're fighting for but I know, any night you want, I'll meet you on that shore.. With my bones and my cup. She don't listen any more To the people on the street She just hunkers down in instinct See them broken eyes, trying to cry out of the river, and enough aboout being oh so old. She don't listen any more To the people on the street She just hunkers down in instinct. Oh instinct, I don't feel. I don't feel like much, but I feel like drinking. I feel I'm gonna break you down, and I feel I'm gonna break you down.

A Time With 02:55
Don't turn your back on the street You'll never feel the tide Hoping the greater good will win Selling bullets to all sides That ain't right, still Feelin broken down and Any night I'll meet you on the coast You think of singin they'll slit your throat We can kill each other Every night on the Tv or the phone I'll just keep calling you out You'll just keep falling on your gun Just trying to hang that ol' simple rope I know you wanna tie me up Just because she says she loves you It don't mean she don't feel for me Feelin broken down and Any night I'll meet you on the coast You think of singin they'll slit your throat We can kill each other Every night on the Tv or the phone I'll just keep calling you out You'll just keep falling on your gun

well they say one day many ghosts will meet a paradise of strangers with one design of teeth but if you ever need help on the battlefield I'll be one of the clowns with flowers and a shield.... that's made of thoughts and unknowns but no crucifix or garden gnomes although I do believe the desert's more than sand well they say one day many ghosts will meet a paradise of strangers with one design of teeth but if you ever need help on the battlefield I'll be one of the clowns with flowers and a shield.... that's made of thoughts and unknowns but no crucifix or garden gnomes although I do believe the desert's more than sand hearts hung from the ceiling will never grow old, yet the ways that they are bought and sold will surely one day choke on their own dust

Our Lovers 04:24
Tuck your tired faith in the ocean, I don't want to fear it no more For we like our lovers, with just a little blood Life's a fraying tire swing rope, what do you want me to say That there's a plan, and that I know your pain...? ....when you know that I don't One by one we are marchin all over, tired streets again For once we should try listening to what the others are saying Tuck your tired face in the ocean I don't want to see you no more For we like our lovers with just a little blood A little blood will never take us home... ....you better hope that it won't One by one we are marchin all over, tired streets again For once we should try listening to what the others are saying When your colors turn all black and green, I'll curl up in a ball, anymore and I'll shoot myself

oh look what we have found here nothing but free land just a few million reds we can teach those savages we can cut off all their lovers hands but she don't remember, a word that I said she just pulls the rope, cross, tight 'round my neck oh New Amsterdamn, so you're feeling a little broke you want a free ride perhaps just a little taste but I deal in children, weapons, oil and waste she don't remember, a word that I said she just pulls the rope, cross, tight 'round my neck I'm comin back smoke, then I'm comin for you.
