I woke with the dawn that July And too my coffee on the widow's walk The whispers as clear as the sky The twisted moors, the dead whalers' haunt Oh my Memories of unremembered past Dawn watches callus rust harpoons Whale spray an endless diamond blast My stomach drops from sight with the loons All roads the same All roads the same Tell me where where where Do all those roads lead? All roads the same Old as the sea Whiskey as hard as kerosene I ache for the chase and sacrifice I am a vase of ambergris I am the hair and the lice Oh my god Hear now the smallness of man! Hear now the greatness of beast! Even as tall as I can stand I am a speck on the sea All roads the same All roads the same Tell me where where where Do all those roads lead? All roads the same Old as the sea Once I held that spear And looked into that eye It brought me down to size Now I sit right here The ocean out of sight Are dreams ever alive? All roads the same All roads the same Tell me where where where Do all those roads lead? All roads the same Old as the sea

I was born for neon I was born for T. J. Eckelburg eyes Stadium lies I live in the back page In the background Backed by nuclear nights No stars in sight Don't expect me to change I wanna feel everything Godsave the bluebloods Godsave eternal American fight Billboards are right Godsave the white noise Godsave our boys You know I feed on serial dreams now honey Don't expect me to change I wanna feel everything I counted up explosions It took up all my time I was getting bored I was getting bored You catch a fire You catch a fire You catch a fire And don't you ever let it out It's best to believe Don't expect me to change I wanna feel everything American mythmakers American mythmakers Build your brand until it hurts I wanna be a mythmaker I wanna be a mythmaker I wanna spread across the earth I I I I

Every morning You know I carry All of the memories I try to forget A kind of mourning All of the lost paths When I chose a right instead of the left But in the morning when you touch my face I know I'm alive Always uneasy and half awake But here I know I'm alive I know I'm alive I know I'm alive I know it's stupid You can't escape Let's paint again what we can't erase Head for the mountains To where it all began Climb to the sky and stitch our own flag And in the morning when you touch my face I know I'm alive Always uneasy and half awake But here I know I'm alive I know I'm alive I know I'm alive

If I fall for you Will I fall flat to? When I'm on my knees Will you hear my please? I'm going off, I'm going off, I'm going off I'm a firework, I'm a firework, I'm a firework I know I know it's true I know I know it's true If I fall from grace Will I lose your faith? When I'm down and out Will you ease my doubt? I'm going off, I'm going off, I'm going off I'm a firework, I'm a firework, I'm a firework I know I know it's true I know I know it's true Tell me you love me Tell me you love me Tell me you love me again Because I know I know it's true I know I know it's true

I'm so wired From acting on this green screen I'm so tired Of floating in your slipstream Don't give up the fight...don't give up the fight It's coming from below My face is magnificent It's coming from below My friends are made of glass I'm so wired My mind is full of meteors I'm so tired Of acting on my bad ideas Don't give up the fight...don't give up the fight It's coming from below My face is magnificent It's coming from below My friends are made of glass (David Foster Wallace sample) It's coming from below My face is magnificent It's coming from below My friends are made of glass I'm so acquired I covet everything I see I'm so inspired But movement's the last thing I need

Still I Wait 03:01
Lord give me a sense of place Don't hold back, back on me Lord give me a glimpse of grace Don't hold back, back on me Still I wait For you to come back here And pick me up Pick me up and set me free Lord give me an ounce of faith Don't hold back, back on me Lord give me a taste of rage Eternal rage floating free Still I wait For you to come back here And pick me up Pick me up and set me free I heard love was only a game Then why's it hurt so bad? Tell me why Still I know they're right It's a shame Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Still I wait For you to come back here And pick me up Pick me up and set me free

I catch the train The Amtrak's nearly empty Winter rain I pull my coat close to me Watch the passing gray The tired lapse of day 33rd Street It is a swirl of bodies I push toward the east Wonder if he's behind you Then I'm at your door A champagne bottle Soon uncorked We are a breath A spark of life In a city of lights Let's run tonight Let's run tonight Let's run tonight You say his name A flash of black and scarlet Silent flames We are awash in violet Overexposed film Unsaid words Withdrawn limbs You touch my cheek A spark so hot it stings me Before I speak Your legs are wrapped around me A roaring in my ears The sudden drop Of years and years We are a breath A spark of life In a city of lights Let's run tonight Let's run tonight Let's run tonight The sky is a fluting virgin Your thighs are the moon emerging Earth is awake With quaking voyeur's glee The darkness is only passing The darkness is only passing The earth will turn Its face back toward the light The light Let's run tonight Let's run tonight Let's run tonight

Tuesday I will fit Into the dollhouse in the yard There's no trace of American space Just peeling olive particle board I know it's wrong I know it's wrong I know it's wrong But it's hard to break the mold Find me in the walk-in closet Unglue my face from the floor Remind me that there's still an ocean And shape my softness into strong oars I know it's wrong I know it's wrong I know it's wrong But it's hard to break the mold Lead me through the yellow noise Don't stop 'til there's sand Hear me when I lift my voice See me when I stand I know it's wrong I know it's wrong I know it's wrong But it's hard to break the mold
