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

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
