- 06 I Have Friends in Holy Spaces
You remind me of a former love that I once knew
And you carry a little piece with you
We were holding hands walking through the middle of the street
It's fine with me, I'm just taking in the scenery
[Chorus: 2x]
You remind me of a few of my famous friends
Well, that all depends what you qualify as friends
- Behind The Sea
A daydream spills from my corked head
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left to nod over sleeping waves
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candled swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds
The men all played along to marching drums
- But Its Better If You Do
Now I'm of consenting age
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen
May even ask my name
As she sheds her skin on stage
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's PA.
And the strip joint veteran sits two away
- Camisado
The I.V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events
This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
It's not so pleasant
And it's not so conventional
- Death Of A Bachelor
Do I look lonely?
I see the shadows on my face
People have told me, I dont look the same
Maybe I lost weight, I’m playing hooky,
With the best of the best
Put my heart on my chest
So that you can see it too
- Folkin Around
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Where summer’s lasted longer than
Longer than we do
Where nothing really mattered
Except for me to be with you
But in time we all forgot
And we all grew
- From A Mountain In The Middle Of The Cabins
Lying there...
with a halo in her hair
She cried
There are feathers everywhere
But it's fine
You do this all the time
Crying now
- I Constantly Thank God For Esteban
Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction,
Forgive our sins
Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons
Because I am a new wave gospel sharp,
And you'll be thy witness
So gentlemen, if you are going to preach,
For God sakes preach with conviction!

- I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Oh, well imagine as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding, what a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"Yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."
I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

- Mad As Rabbits
Come save me from walking off a windowsill
Or i’ll sleep in the rain.
Don’t you remember when I was a bird
And you were a map?
Now he drags down miles in America
Briefcase in hand.
The stove is creeping up his spine again,
Can’t get enough trash.
- Middle of summer
When the Moon fell in love with the Sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
When the Sun found the Moon
She was drinking tea out in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer
- Nearly witches
Nearly Witches
Here I am, composing of burlesque,
Out of where they rest their necks,
Sunken in the splintered cradles
And ramshackle ants,
They ask for it, as a boy,
- Nine In The Afternoon
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah, we're feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
- Northern Downpour
If all our life is but a dream
Fantastic posing greed
Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea
For diamonds do appear to be
Just like broken glass to me
And then she said she can't believe
Genius only comes along
- Pas de Cheval
Oh
Little did she know
Couldn’t let me go
Already a part of her
So often do I meet
People in between
That just can’t get a hold of it
- Round here
Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
- She Had The World
She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me
Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
Cause she couldn't ever have me
She said she won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
- She's A Handsome Woman
Go on
Innocence
Sunk the glow and drowned in covers
Send for all your absent lovers things
Sheepish Wolves
Looking lived in eating buttons
- Teen Hearts Beating Faster
Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as you're fingers touch your skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
- That Green Gentelman
Things are shaping up to be pretty odd
Little deaths in musical beds
So it seems I'm someone I've never met
You will only hear these elegant crimes
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes
They spill unfound from a pretty mouth

- The Piano Knows Something I Do
I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair
It grows like fancy flowers but it grows nowhere
My hair, my hair
If I could build my house just like the Trojan horse
I'd put a statue of myself upon the shelf
Of course, of course, of course
- the piano knows something i dont know
I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair
It grows like fancy flowers but it grows nowhere
My hair, my hair
If I could build my house just like the Trojan horse
I'd put a statue of myself upon the shelf
Of course, of course, of course
- Theres A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey You Just Havent Thought Of It Yet
Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

- We're So Starving
Oh how it’s been so long
We’re so sorry we’ve been gone
We were busy writing songs for
You

We’re so sorry we’ve been gone
We were busy writing songs for…

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
