Not Gonna Wait Around 03:50
lyrics
I said I’m not gonna wait around I’m said I’m not gonna wait Not gonna wait around Not gonna wait Won’t throw my weight around I’ll run away Since I’ve flown around And swam these oceans of time Had to change, and I’m better off now I just needed some time to run and hide Instead of the complicated things I won’t stay around, I’ll run away Won’t throw my weight around Won’t throw my weight Won’t throw my weight around I’ll run away Since I’ve flown around And swam these oceans of time I’ve changed, I’m better off now I just need some time to run and hide

Monoplane 03:44
lyrics
As I lay me down It’s the same old sound Just the hum of a monoplane Covered rust with touch up paint As we ride on through the clouds Ten thousand feet above the ground The parasol flying all the way Through the deltas As we set on out With the rain, a pattered sound In the distance, a lightning bug Strikes the engine, now we’re fucked Cause we’re caught in a nor’easter storm with the winds not calming down I was taught to pull the cord now it's time to jump As we drift right on down It’s the same old sound The gentle hum of a new day now it's time to fly again.

Ride Again 03:57
lyrics
the sun is rising out across the eastern shore out of hiding sailed 15 men with swords galore marathoning these men fought in the rings of fire a funeral pyre ride, ride again ride, my friends the moon is shining ocean silent, yet danger waits the boat is shaking an ambush of exploding chains the waves instill a calm after the storm but the damage has been done ride, ride again ride, my friends a forewarming: when outside bring your knife it's alarming to cross the seas at night

Lilacs 03:46
lyrics
I just want to try to clarify If all this silent love can bring you down The sun is on the rise From the east the frost subsides Forty fallen lilacs on the ground I don’t write things down All alone in sound The songs of the great outside Gotta run, follow them down A seaweed fight Want a salted saturday Walk and fall together right downtown Want to laugh with your red flowers darling Oh? Have we fallen yet? A sullen moment Won’t bring you down I don’t want the current style Autumn won’t bring me down The songs of the great outside Gotta run, follow them down I just want to drive Read the fallen sidewalk Gonna ride the sun right around

Spin Me Round 03:24
lyrics
Holy motors keep on turning I pray my feet will touch the ground On a drive it seems discerning To spin me round Spin me round All my life I wanted to travel Just lay my feet right in the sand Don’t hit the rocks that are protruding Out on the land, on the land Just one more travel From in the air, to the ground Just one more passage to spin me round All the songs that have some meaning Are all the lights up in the sky The starry night is unobscured Except one cloud Just one more travel From in the air, to the ground One more passage to spin me round You spin me round You spin me round You spin me round

Baguette 03:23
lyrics
In a sense, the falling rain Can give some heart to the pain Staring outside through the window pane Fog rolled in from from outer space It’s easier inside when I’m sinking deep The mud is thinner in our place In a sense, the falling rain Can give some heart to the pain When it’s nice and dry outside I can see clear, but too clear. Leaving my love down at Folsom street Weaving through trails in the dark Devious plans that may never complete Thunder rips the night apart the windows cracked, the sun is fried The rain retracts, the rubber dries The sunny haze, a welcome sight Retrace the fears of the summer nights In a sense, the falling rain Can give some heart to the pain When it’s nice and dry outside I can see clear, but too clear.

Slice of Pie 03:32
lyrics
The phones in the town went dead Familiar feelings now out of sight Lightning struck at ten All it left was down power lines Now they’re gone, dead Heading right for the light But with this song, instead We’ll all remember that one night Crawling up the stairs With the ceiling now out of sight Reached for a loaf of bread, But all that’s left was a slice of pie Near infrared, but overhead Was a lamp, but it wasn’t bright Now they’re gone, dead Heading right for the light But with this song, instead We’ll all remember that one night

On the Freeway 03:00
lyrics
Heading out Heading out, on the freeway The freeway y'all Breaking out From a 10 year drought To the freeway To the free way out I saw it all but right now, I'm not afraid now I'm not afraid now Caught by the law I'm not afraid now Breaking out From a 10 year drought And I'm a free man On the freeway, y'all It’s just hay and cows So let’s say ciao To the freeway To the free way out I saw it all but right now, I'm not afraid now I'm not afraid now Caught by the law I'm not afraid now

Simple People 04:36
lyrics
How do you feel when the darkness hits the light? Like a dog up in heaven A strange sensation entails the other side Of the debate when its mangled Polly pockets she stops and twists the knife After dinner is finished It’s a nuisance when foaming at the mouth Bring me broken water And my phone charger it doesn’t matter at all Simple people, just having fun Simple people, dancing on their own Simple people, for the world to see Simple people, just like you and me Everlasting Princeton, the full ride Poison ivy and thunder It’s a laughing matter for her mind She’s in a movie, it all matters Simple people, just having fun Simple people, dancing on their own Simple people, for the world to see Simple people, just like you and me She went down the other gone style Just riding around the restaurant It’s a lonely but funny lifestyle Reads her Tree Persimmon And some Vogue mag As she falls in bed

Forgotten Place 03:37
lyrics
Sailing away to a far, far forgotten place where I'll leave my baggage behind Washing away in the seas I see another way to feel happiness deep inside Need another way with insanity chasing want to save my place in line but it's time to go bye bye We want it all, but we collide we try to talk, it's sometimes implied but we want a fairytale, but that's not real life So goodbye Running away, to an oceanbound paradise but I see plastic in the light What can I say? We're just creatures of habit, yes I don't feel happiness when seeing trash Yeah I lost my face But I keep saving myself want to get to places on time But my ship has gone awry We want it all, but we collide we try to talk, it's sometimes implied but we want a fairytale, but that's not real life So goodbye

Last Batch of Changes 03:42
lyrics
Some of us go to soon, some way too long Everyone’s singing that same old song We all live, then end up in the ground Everyone from A to Z in a song The last batch of changes That follow me around They’re in my thoughts and above ground Everywhere I turn Everyone's concerned They aint got time for you You don’t have to know You don’t have to go Just live and sing with love The last batch of changes That follow me around They’re in my thoughts and above ground We all last through the past time Sketched on the record, like a vinyl How to get from A to Z? Spin the wheel, throw the die Or just pray The last batch of changes That follow me around They’re in my thoughts and above ground

Into the Flames (Acoustic) 02:51
lyrics
Does a comet act like that coaxial cable? Both bring a signal, from places antenatal Did Heaviside solve the golden riddle? So as the meteor burst, the waves convert, I scribble My head spins around I’m in the corner sitting down A constant fight with these voices Lift me high into the flames Where my soul can speak again In the moment, spatial learning seems nocturnal But the gravity of their sermons burn eternal In passing time, the colors fly As the comet returns to form, exothermal The world spins around Beyond the solar seems profound We battle all these voices Lift us high into the flames Where our souls can speak again Lift us high into the flames (gently floating down) Where our souls can speak again (softly floating now)
