1) The Dam at Otter Creek
When all that's left to do
Is reflect on what's been done
This is where sadness breathes
The sadness of everyone
Just like when the guys built the
Dam at Otter Creek and all the
Water backed up
Deep enough to dive
We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked by love
Deep enough to dive
Deep enough to dive
Be here now
We took him three and three
In a stretcher made from trees
That had passed in the storm
Leave the hearse behind
To leave the curse behind
Be here now
-----------------------------------------
2) Selling the Drama
And to love a god
And to fear a flame
And to burn a crowd that has a name
And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known, just scream it from the wall
(Chorus)
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that matters eardream
And to Christ a cross
And to me a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here
(Chorus)
And to love a god
And to fear a flame
And to burn a crowd that has a name
(Chorus)
---------------------------------------------
3) I Alone
It's easier not to be wise
And measure those things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
You'll need them, your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
To leave you there, by yourself
Chained to fate
(Chorus)
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this!
It's easier not to be great
And measure those things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
And leave you there by yourself chained to fate
(Chorus)
Oh, now we took it back too far
Only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn
All come runnin' back to you, all these rhythms that you hide
Only love can save us now, all those riddles that you burn
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Chorus)
---------------------------------------------
4) Iris
I liked the way my hand looked
On your head...
In the presence of my knuckles...
But the beauty of this vision alone
Just like yesterday's sunset
Has been perverted by the sentimental
And mistaken for love
(Chorus)
The felix of your truth will always break it
And the iris of your eye will always shake it
And the armies, the armies I have created
Will always hate it
Will always bait you on
I liked the way my hand looked on your head
In the presence of my struggle
But the beauty of this vision alone
I can't shake from my tree just yet
It keeps invading all my private moments
Listen to me now
(Chorus)
-----------------------------------------
5) Lightning Crashes
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens here eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door
Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was lies
Belongs now to the baby down the hall
(Chorus)
Oh, now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue clored iris, presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide, hide
(Chorus)
---------------------------------------
6) Top
This is not helping me at all
What you are doing here
In the name of God and love
It's the distribution of fear
Pyarmids, healing wires, analysts with fame
I haven't got your degree
And I forget your name
(Chorus)
Pick me up and put me on the ground
Set me up and spin me all around
No, you are not the one I wish to see
This is not he lying me at all
Where did we get this plan?
That you could give to me
What I might already have
Pyramids, healing wires, a musician's fame
I've volunteered you my eyes
In place of facing me
(Chorus)
Oh, Hitler, in a robe of truth
My emptiness has built your altar
And I've worshipped myself in you forever
Until now!
------------------------------------
7) All Over You
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused
For being strange
Our love is no other
Than me alone
For me all day
Our love is like water angels
Pinned down and abused
All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold the sea
The sun, the fields, the tide
Pay me now, lay me down
-----------------------------------------
8) Shit Towne
The Weavers live up the street from me
The crackheads, they live down the street from me
The tall grass makes it hard to see
Beyond my property
Hey man, this is criminal
This hard line symmetry of people and pets
We don't bother anyone
We keep to ourselves
The mailman visits each of us in turn
We don't bother anyone
We keep to ourselves
The mailman visits each of us in time
Gotta live, gotta live, gotta live
In Shit Towne
Gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in our town
----------------------------------------------------
9) T.B.D.
In the moment I was losing my head
Readin' too much and losin' my head
And I was
Reachin' forward, I was already there
Readin' too much and losin' my head
This information caused a cut in the line
Now I'm remembering God and readin'
Too much it's so nice
The point is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now
In the morning there are things to bread
Words to be said and food to be fed but I won't be there
I'll be clutchin' on a
Megaphone pointed at my head
Would you be there
Would you kindly read this word for word so loud and clear
I can't remember it all
It needs to be clear, I tell you
If the feeling drops out of your voice
Would you kindly pick it up
This is how I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book
We're talin' anchors, talkin' ships
We're talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need
You should be workin' now, not only askin' how
And the whereabouts of where you'll be
I don't suspect you will be thinking
When the brain is dead and the mind has taken over
This is a kill
This is not a game
Where have you been
Are you with us?
Can you hear us?
Got the megaphone pointed at you
----------------------------------------
10) Stage
I wanna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
Don't wanna die
I wanna bring my Captain Hook into the light
People I've seen my day
Ranting and raving this beauty away
We are by and large the same
But words are too feeble, they cannot contain
He was a "rock and roll messiah"
She was known for her child care
The truth is gonna give up the world
If you can give up the stage
If I can give up the stage
If we can give up the stage
Come to this, I can't come to you
Don't do this, wake me up tonight
Come to this, I won't come to you
Don't do this, wake me up tonight
Tonight, tonight, come on motherfucker
Yeah, he was a "rock and roll messiah"
How could you stand too late
Beside her
Messiah...
Beside her?
Oh, woogee boogee
Gimme the stage (2x)
Beside Her (3x)
---------------------------------------
11) Waitress
Come on baby leave some change behind
She was a bitch, but I don't care
She brought our food out on time
And wore a funky berrette in her hair
Come on baby leave some change behind
She was a bitch but good enough
To leave some change, everybody's good enough for some change
The girl's got family
She needs cash to buy aspirin for her pain
Everybody's good enough for some change
We all get the flu, we all get AIDS
We've got to stick together
After all, everybody's good enough for some change
Some fucking change!
---------------------------------------
12) Pillar of Davidson
Warm bodies I sense
Are not machines that can only make money
Past, perfect tense
Words for a feeling and all I've discovered
I'll be along soon
With medicine supposed to, designed to
Make you high
I'll be along soon
With words for a feeling and all I've discovered
Old, bad eyes (3x)
On loneliness comes
Go see the foreman, go see the profiteer
On loneliness drives
We're takin' our time movin' shit for
This holy slime
Old, bad eyes (2x)
Old, bad eyes, almighty fear
The shepherd won't leave me alone
He's in my face and I
The shephered of my days
And I want you here by my heart
And my head, I can't start till I'm dead
--------------------------------------
13) White, Discussion
I talk of freedom
You talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
You'd much rather brag
And as the decibels of this disenchanting
Discourse continue to dampen the day
The coin flips again, again and again
And agains as our sanity walks away
All the discussion
Though politcally correct
Is dead beyond destruction
Though it leaves me quite erect
And as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
And the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
And we'll cry about
But this will be what we said
This will be what we said
Look where all this talking got us, baby
