LYRICS

ALL OTHERS STEP ASIDE

Scouring that beat,

With a profile so neat,

Your worth can’t be denied.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

Dot every T,

It looks great to me,

All others step aside.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

Talking much faster,

Averting disaster,

Your calmness will be spied.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

When does the last train come?

Maybe that’s too soon.

Tension-filled eve,

And it’s time to leave,

She makes it hard to choose.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

Weakness confessed,

As I touch her breast,

She shares her own issues.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

There’s nought to defend,

As we reach the end,

So glad we shared that news.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

Tiresome breadth,

We’ve beat it to death,

It’s very well-trod ground.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

We’re back again,

And no surprise when,

There’s new thoughts to be found.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

Revisit things,

And when it brings,

Up nothing too profound.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

When does the last train come?

Maybe that’s too soon.

With you each night,

And we never fight,

We like the same things too.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

Things have gone south,

And I kiss your mouth,

Resolve me into a dew.

You’ll know, you’ll know, you’ll know.

LONELIEST SOUL

It all started on a sunny day

Down oil the farm down by the bay

And ended on the pavement in the snow

What passed in between

Has often been seen

But never by those who outta know

The uncle declared that she would be

A big shot someday

The notion was seconded by her Dad

The uncle was so sure

Her skin was soft and pure

And she turned out to be the best he’d ever had

Yes it’s true

What they never say

That he who laughs last is the loneliest soul

Yes it’s true

What they never say

That he who laughs last is the loneliest soul

The last few years have not been a friend

To the man in the horn rimmed glasses

His body has not responded as expected

But he knows he holds the key

To that which will be

And before too long the one will be selected

She’d been up and down and left and right

Before she was introduced

To the man who would drastically change her life

The exchange was cursory

They slipped into the nursery

Since then she has felt both sides of the knife

Yes it’s true

What they never say

That he who laughs last is the loneliest soul

Yes it’s true

What they never say

That he who laughs last is the loneliest soul

ST. STEPHEN’S COUCH

Staying longer then I really should,

On St. Stephen’s couch again.

When her dark eyes stare long into mine,

I wonder why she does that.

I wonder what she thinks about me,

But I don’t want to lose her just the same.

She makes me feel alive,

Vulnerable but alive.

But it comes as no surprise,

She’s heard this song before.

There’s no way for her to realize,

That behind these sad, sad eyes,

There’s lots of joy just waiting to be tapped,

By a little smile just like hers.

I wonder what she thinks about me,

But I don’t want to lose her just the same.

She makes me feel alive,

Vulnerable but alive.

But she’s already alive,

So what’s there for me to do?

SMOKE AND MUSIC

Omni looked at me as I

Stared back and him and I

Know just what he’d tell me if he could

He’d say you just go home and I say

Yeah I know

You see he’s afraid I’ll be there for good

He’d say

Go and find some smoke and music

Smile in the dark all day

Go and find some smoke and music

There’s nothing for you if you stay

Omni you are green you haven’t

Seen the things I’ve seen

It’s harder than you think outside that door

He’d say, Man you’ve got some nerve

And blessings you don’t deserve

Imagine never knowing anymore

He’d say

Go and find some smoke and music

Smile in the dark all day

Go and find some smoke and music

There’s nothing for you if you stay

MANU

Manu what’d you do?

You know we hardly got to know ya

Side step finger roll

You’re not always in control ya

’03, ’05, ’07, ’14

Manu splits the two

And hits a game winner on your head

Gold metal ‘round his neck

And his number gets raised o’erhead

Leave me the last slice

Wacking back KG to the parquet

Manu what’d you do?

You know we hardly got to know ya

Side step finger roll

You’re not always in control ya

’03, ’05, ’07, ’14

Manu splits the two

And hits a game winner on your head

Gold metal ‘round his neck

And his number gets raised o’erhead

Leave me the last slice

Wacking back KG to the parquet

Manu oh no

LAMELY WISHING

Breakfast after a long night
Laughing about nonsense
We only had a few more days
If only I had known that
When does your alarm go off?
It’s ok I’ll make it
See you love I hear no more
If only I could go back

Lamely wish that you were coming home
Lamely wish that you were coming
Lamely wish that you were coming home
Lamely wish that you were coming

Want me to carry your chair?
The cooler is heavy
Our happen run was ending soon
If only I had known that
We’re here after a long pause
This time it’s much different
Watch the dreadful hearts shatter
If only I could go back

Lamely wish that you were coming home
Lamely wish that you were coming
Lamely wish that you were coming home
Lamely wish that you were coming

EARLY/NO GOOD

Oh it’s so early.

It’s so goddamn early.

Oh it’s so early.

It’s so goddamn early.

I got no good on my mind.

You’re no good.

I got no good on my mind.

You’re no good.

Oh it’s so early.

It’s so goddamn early.

Oh it’s so early.

It’s so goddamn early.

CALL IT

Well I just don’t hang out as well as I used to

I get bored with myself while others get bored with me

I’m skinny as a rail

My jokes have gotten stale

And I think it might be time for me to call it

It was a night it late America

In the black interegnum

Salt of the earth saddled ups to grab a seat

“People ‘round here I’ve got more guns

Than those whole damn place combined”

We cowered in our unarmed disloyalty

The alls I know is strong with this one

No disturbance is coming any time soon

Yeah the that’s what they say runs deep with this guy

He’s just saying you know he’s just saying hey you know he’s just saying

Well I just don’t hang out as well as I used to

I get bored with myself while others get bored with me

I’m skinny as a rail

My jokes have gotten stale

And I think it might be time for me to call it

The alls I know is strong with this one

No disturbance is coming any time soon

Yeah the that’s what they say runs deep with this guy

He’s just saying you know he’s just saying hey you know he’s just saying

My girlfriend falls asleep when I tell stories

And that is no word a lie

And this is me telling you a true story

But my question for you

My question for you

Is are you still awake?

Well I just don’t hang out as well as I used to

I get bored with myself while others get bored with me

I’m skinny as a rail

My jokes have gotten stale

And I think it might be time for me to call it

COW

You spilled the milk and then you blamed it on the cow

You tripped and fell and then you blamed it on the ground

You told me how to live my life the whole way down

Tell it to the pavement on your face

ART DECO

The clock says I’m early,

Art Deco is watching my smoke.

Who can see where I am now?

Dust off the mental cobwebs,

And answer as best as I can.

Who can see where I am now?

Cry in the night but I’ll be around,

To take much more than you’ll give.

Was once described like a tree,

You can tell when someone’s rooted in the ground.

Who can see where I am now?

Now I find that I watch myself,

With morbid curiosity.

Who can see where I am now?

Cry in the night but I’ll be around,

To take much more than you’ll give.
