Morning Song 03:45
When you open your eyes in the morning The sky will fall out of the sky The ripening mind of a black tree Will be growing in a garden of light When darkness drops out of the nighttime Suns will leak from your eyes Rivers of blind stars and lightning Will begin to unfold and to rise Water falls softly and narrows The space between you and the world Your hand reaches out and just touches The holes in the robes of the storm

If I was a cemetery Would you haunt me all night long Desecrated dark and scary Would you sing my twilight song If I was an empty schoolyard Would you play your favorite games Teeter-totter cops and robbers Who called who the meanest names If a Martian in his spacesuit Had forgotten how to roam Would you sell him your last biscuit With instructions to get home If I was an apple growing In an orchard in the sun Would you pluck me every morning And devour me on the run

Destroy 04:04
Sledgehammer to every dam The water will overflow And drown the sorrows of empire Wiping the blood clean off the land Putting out fires and evil fathers Bulldozer to every road The forests will overflow May the laughter of many children Trace hidden highways that come and go Through avenues of opening flowers Dynamite to the old masters We love you but today you must go We seem to have grown tired Of standing up here on the shoulders of giants The ground view will suit us much better Loves songs to the destroyer Our human desires will overflow Remember that one act of kindness Is all that we need to kill the war We have been waging on one another

The Optimist 04:01
I don’t know how to cry I don’t know how to be sad I have never been called A melancholy guy I wear my head in my hat I wear my feet in my shoes Oh when I roll out of bed I don’t feel one bit confused And I go for a spin Out in the morning sun And I sing and shout To everyone That I’m happyyyyyyyyyyyyy! When I walk the city streets I give everyone a smile Might even do a little dance Every once in a while And if a pretty lady lifts Her head and looks nonplussed I will wink at her and say “Hey honey, don’t be a sourpuss Come along for a spin Out in the morning sun Let us sing and shout To everyone That we’re happyyyyyyyyyy” Everybody has to die Every life comes to an end You can’t do anything about it There are rules you cannot bend But if the optimist in me Can offer some advice It’s that living life unhappily Is just like dying twice So come along for a spin Out in the morning sun Take Grim Death by the hand And tell him To be happyyyyyyyyyy!

A Sweet End 04:50
Goodbye to all my friends Rivers and oceans and motorways All will be gone by the end of this song Goodbye my human hands Knocking down everything you have built From towers to tunnels and treaties of peace It’s the end of the world the sweet end Of all of the things that we have loved Farewell my rambling feet Roads of ambition took you so far Glory will perish along with the rest So long my searching heart Seat of love, loving pump, animal Flimsy flame in this brief whirlwind of life It's the end of the world the sweet end Of all of the things that we have loved No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no no
