mr craven, he's fixing clocks
working down at his johnson st shop
i don't know what time he leaves
heading out to where his daughter lives
but it's a
good time to be a horologist
slow down the passing of the days a bit
life in a town with sleepy eyes
means never needing to say goodbye
it's midday and mr craven goes for lunch
mindful of the economy, it isn't much
some of the children think he's cuckoo up top
it's a good time to be cleaning a clock

get that goat

my name is billy, i got blood all through my hair
and my explanation is that i'm a him and not a her
as lucifer's my shepherd i'll have footing without fail
four stomachs for my breakfast, i was born under a tail
and lord only knows what the hell you're on about
if there's one thing you really oughta know, you ain't gonna get that goat
the king of the hill with the oblong eyes, there ain't gonna be no sacrifice
'cuz one of the things you really oughta know
you ain't gonna get that goat
you ain't gonna get that goat
so if you go up the mountain thinkin' rules are set in stone
don't mistake me for your sheep, i'll kick your ass on home
there's a hole up in a hillside where angels fear to tread
i stick my horned face in, and there i lay my head
and lord only knows what the hell you're on about

no shame

i've no shame, here beside you, safe and sound in the dark
and you're so quiet in this embrace, i haven't heard you say my name
you wear a homemade heart stuck to your sleeve
and when i wake up with you i forget to leave
there's light outside the window, and now noise outside the door
so you pull your smiling armor on like so many times before
no shame, here beside you, safe and sound in the dark
and we've been here so long in this embrace i wonder
have you really seen my face
no shame, to walk behind you, steering you into the dark
and you've been waiting so long to put me in my place
we may never be the same
half the truth is what you're hearing
i'll be there til the very end
i know you want to leave but i will keep on coming around
you've heard it before, you'll hear it again my friend
ive got no shame.
and the pavements crack under your heel
you might fall in so you spin your wheels
you're looking for the corner where i'm a blind date
somewhere between hope and hell's gate
you feel like you're going around the bend
so you let me push your pedals again
with no shame, i will guide you into the deep and the dark
and we've been here so long in this embrace
we may never be the same

the right kind of light
04:45
|
|||
|
if i could just have 15 minutes of your precious time, i would feel famous
show me that you've heard a single word i've ever uttered
i won't feel so wasted
we'll do a little dance, sing a little song
and we'll be walking red carpets till the break of the dawn is gone
because you see now you're never the only one to fall out of the sky
but now you're ready to shine in your own kind of light
you can be just about anything tonight
we could be just about anyone
in the right kind of light
when the flashing in the pan is over, they'll be long gone
we'll tell the grandkids about it
we'll do a little dance, and sing a little song
on the living room rug, cmon and sleep it off on the bottom bunk with me

three minute holiday
03:26
|
|||
|
work is pilin' up behind me, chores are more than a few
gonna put my feet up by the fireplace
seems like the better thing to do
taking a three minute holiday before we get up and go again
it's just three minutes that we surely must deserve
before we turn to dirt
time to empty out my mind, nothing here worth leaving behind
gonna make a little room for a daydream with you there
come a long won't you honey for awhile
a little holiday where i'll have the time to kiss a wide eyed girl
get a little closer now
you lay it all bare in your perfect design
and while the wind is howling outside we are here

mountain woman
03:37
|
|||
|
woman you know what i need but you give me zero
freezin' me out, minus ninety degrees
woman, the coals in your oven they are burnin' low
you know where the wood is, but you don't wanna go there
on a sheet of ice, on a polar morning, on the northern side
of the mountain woman
i stumble around in your white noise, blind and deaf, barely alive
im feeling, i might be frostbitten
the wolves are onto me now

i feel
03:14
|
|||
|
i'm so miserable without you near to me, it's almost like you're still here
with me
nostalgia, it ain't what it used to be
one tequila, two tequila. three tequila, hello floor
i used to be so indecisive but now i'm not sure
and if i agreed with you, we'd both be wrong
we dig our heels into middle ground til we get 'er done, get along, bang a gong, get it on
oo, i feel love
i can't get enough of this minimalistic life, you see
i'm hitting on the snooze button just to keep the dream alive for me
when in doubt we mumble for a little while
it may be in fashion, but it's not my style
so hum along
oo i feel love
