1.	Asteroid 03:08 video	lyrics	buy track
Asteroid They used to have L’air du Temps They used to have home décor They used to have wasn’t that a time They used to have what’s it all for They used up all the bon temps rouler Counting on the infinite jest Went from spray to that ban roll-on But that mess was already a mess Did they listen No they didn’t Now they don’t Cuz they can’t Did they try Who’s to say Didn’t look it Blown away Were they smart We’ll never know What's that sound There they go Just another dumb asteroid They used to work with back and hands Rockin like they stevedores They used to make the cutest plans But now they ain’t cute no more Did they listen No they didn’t Now they don’t Cuz they can’t Did they try Who’s to say Didn’t look it Blown away Were they smart We’ll never know What's that sound There they go Just another dumb asteroid They used to suck the air like gods Groovin on the passing strange They used to have the sweetest dreams About buffaloes home on the range So hey Mary So hey Joe Where you going With that globe in your hands
2.	Fancy 03:19 video	lyrics	buy track
Fancy I’m standing on a mountain With my tongue out to taste I’m lying in bed Cuz I got time to waste In clean sheets And bon-bons We don’t want good We don’t want very good We’re getting antsy We want it fine We want it very fine Cuz we’re fancy I’m riding in a black car With my green eyes on you Lets play I’m the caviar And you’re a porcelain spoon Bring your brass knucks And the golden rule We don’t want good We don’t want very good We’re getting antsy We want it fine We want it very fine Yea we’re fancy The world is our oyster So make it Rockefeller Have you seen my etchings This one’s called Bella In my dreams Only in my dreams We don’t want good We don’t want very good We’re getting antsy We want it fine We want it very fine Yea we like it fancy This is the part where I insert the names of luxury goods and the good things in life and the fabulous places and the third or fifth wife and our deep deep devotion to our pleasure.
3.	Wet Month 03:25 video	lyrics	buy track
Wet Month It’s been a wet month On 5th Avenue We carry on We’ve so much to do Bag in hand Hand in bag Bag in hand We carry on I’ve been a wet bird On your windowsill On the 66th floor Of your treadmill Dress for work Work for dress Dress for work We carry on We felt the night fall On our wet face We crawl and stumble Looking for your place Both in love Love in both Both in love We carry on It’s been a lonely month On 5th Avenue Love is gone It has so much to do Without you You without Without you You without Carry on Carry on You were my I don’t know You were my so and so You were every hand or hand me down hand I every wanted to hold
4.	Twin Texting Trails 02:42 video	lyrics	buy track
Twin Texting Trails I’m over Taiwan Are you over Texas Twin texting trails In the sky You took me on When I bailed out of Memphis Hands holding tight Just in time Tears tear from our eyes And our fingers Whip like sails Twin texting trails Over time Over time Out of time
5.	Myelin Thief 03:52 video	lyrics	buy track
Myelin Thief I’m there when you strike a match And broadcast your beliefs There as you fan the flames All Indians and chiefs I’m under your carpet I’m underneath your skin I rock you like a rocket So bring your nerves – bring ‘em in I’m there on your second watch Alone in your grief There as you’re venerated In your laurel wreath I hop as you murmurate And laugh till you leak As you’re ever so humble While giving us a peek I’m under your carpet I’m underneath your skin I rock you like a rocket So bring your nerves – bring ‘em in I’m pulsing you never know I got no beliefs But they grow and re-grow Like a thief in the sheets I’m under your carpet I’m underneath your skin I rock you like a rocket Bring your nerves – bring ‘em in – bring ‘em in I’m there as you contemplate Alone in the dark All sullen and embittered Or lit up like a spark I bubble as you penetrate When you’re high as a kite When your brain comes unbuttoned As you’re burning bright I’m the pulsing you never know I got no beliefs But they grow and re-grow Like a thief in the sheets Like a myelin thief
6.	Hovering 04:38 video	lyrics	buy track
Hovering I make my way Thru table and chairs Thru all the wavy collision of our fears Like pirates waiting in the fog Just hovering Just hovering Up above our head I fake my way All tangled and tortured Thru all the messed up there that is here Like winners losing at the bell Just hovering Just hovering Up above our head I take it all in – so surprising I take it all in So surprising To be standing here at all Like dreamers dreaming in the raw Just hovering Up above our head Just hovering Up above our head
7.	See You In A Day 03:20 video	lyrics	buy track
See You In A Day I’ve seen the sky Go outta the sky I’ve seen the sun in the city Sit down and cry I’ve seen the bijoux Sparkle on you Even as clouds form and gather On your face When I’m really on my way When I’m really on my way When I’m finally on my way I can see you in a day I’ve seen the snow fall On your hair I’ve seen the hat it fell out of Resting on the chair When I’m really on my way When I’m really on my way When I’m finally on my way I can see you in a day
8.	Paper Trails 03:14 video	lyrics	buy track
Paper Trails What are you after What will you do when you find it In the eye of an eagle and blue sky behind Keeping my faith and keeping it blind The paper trails The ties that bind Where is the Law and where does it end When do we watch and when do we stir That’s when we pray For winds to blow and sun to shine Under empty sails which never unwind Once I was thunder and rained like never before I rained enough to crawl your spine Keeping the faith and keeping it blind Paper trails and ties that bind Where is our soul the best we can do Bodies and souls it’s what we do The ties can bleed the paper burns
9.	Stunted Broom 02:44 video	lyrics	buy track
Stunted Broom Counting down the endless minutes Pushing down the friendless faces Getting thru this one traffic stop With less than 10 seconds to get out With your lives Cut the legs off my family Cut the head of my kin Shred us down like confetti Throw us out your worldless window Showing us the door Do I die in your dreams What did I do What did I do A broom swept me away Or was it you Was it you The exits are crowded But so is the way in We’re on the road to nowhere Like original sin Pinned on a seven year old Do I die in your dreams What did I do What did I do A broom swept me away Or was it you Was it you
10.	Beat By God 06:35 video	lyrics	buy track
Beat By God You put a spell on me When we were young You showed me how to see And you’re not done You showed me pictures You showed me frames You pointed at stars And called them by name You put a spell on me When we were young We knew no fear Our hearts were strong We had devils ears We could do no wrong We swam for miles We walked for miles Then we rested and sang In this Hawkins style That’s when you put a spell on me That’s when we were young All the songs we sung All the strings we strung All the bells we rung And the beat by god And the beat by god And the beat by god The beat goes on Are you blurry now I can’t really tell As you mop my brow With your spell With your spell With your spell You put a spell on me When we were young All the songs we sung All the strings we strung All the bells we rung And the beat by god And the beat by god And the beat by god The beat goes on The beat goes on
