And so it’s time for for a new Adam and Eve
New versions of the same things to believe
we’ve been diagnosed, next she’ll shake us off like fleas, then start it all again
with new songs and strange new holidays
new words, new games, new plays
Brand new life will find treasure in the caves then start it all again
We’ll do this again
Yeah we’ve done that before
Promise you new life will wash up on the shore then soon there will be new systems in place
new worlds and bodies to invade
Then just when they think they’ve got it made she’ll send out the waves again
and start all over again
start all over again
Start all over again
start all over again
Can we clean it up maybe just for the little while that we have
Can clean it up maybe just for the little while that we have
Can we clean it up maybe just for the little while that we have
Can we clean it up maybe just for the little while that we have
It’s the song you sing when your heart is tattered
It’s the song you sing when your home is scattered
It’s the song you sing when your world is shattered
That song
That’s all
That matters
Sing a song
You can sing
when nothing else matters
But the song that you’re singing
When the ashes are scattered

Dumb hot terry and heavy metal Stacy used to
Make out in the break room of the auto parts store mmmmmmmmm
While I waited there across the street at that
Taco Bell on Tampa Ave ooooooooooo
Waiting for her to come and tell me
All about what happened in there
Which things I wanted I believed she new
Intention And intuition
The mention Of superstition
She liked to get lost in the dark
Said Falling down was her favorite part
She was less of a friend, more of an assistant
When she went a bit delinquent after
Randy crashed into his tour bus on that airplane
We got dressed up and put our faces on
Held hands at his seance booooooooooo
She said randy baby come and tell me
All about what we’d do tell me
That you think I would’ve been just perfect for you
She liked a spiritual transmission
They require double vision
And she liked to get lost in the dark
Said falling down was her favorite part
She said randy baby come and tell me
All about what we’d do tell me
That you think I would’ve been just perfect for you
She liked a spiritual transmission
They require double vision
And she liked to get lost in the dark
Said falling down was her favorite part
Said falling down was her favorite part
Said falling down was her favorite part

Is anyone just the one
Is anything just the thing in the empty spaces
There’s not much of a difference between
Wing or tail
Crime or jail
The only places I know what to do
Without you
I’m no good in the daytime
I fall into the night
Where we all get to pretend that we’re anyone and the everything is gonna be alright
Is anyone anyone’s
Does everything mean anything in the darkest places
There’s not much of a difference between
Hand or head
Floor of bed
The only places I know what to do
without you
I’m no good in the daytime
I fall into the night
Where we all get to pretend that we’re anyone and that everything is gonna be alright

The condition of a heart keeps turning
The deer come around
You’ve got to hunt them down
You got to let a wolf in your heart
He’ll keep the deer out of the valley
Let a Wolf in your heart he will kill the coyote
And turn back the clock
On the old tic tock
Bring you back to the start
The only tricky part
Is you gotta let a Wolf
In your heart
Oh deer spend hours
Drinking you dry, they’ll even eat the flowers
No, you got to let a Wolf in your heart
He will beat back the herd
Let a Wolf in your heart
He will bring back the songbird
And they’ll spread the seeds throughout the weeds
Bring you back to the start
The only tricky part
Is you gotta let a Wolf in your heart

The Dark-Eyed Juncoes know
The Northern Cardinal’s working ground control
The Deer Mice
Dear Mourning Doves
The snow is falling from above
Go on ahead
Feed the birds
Life is sweeter
Life is sweeter
The sun comes up on Chickadee Town
Seeds there upon the snowy ground
Days are short
Night’s are long
Especially when a venomous Shrew comes along
The snow is falling
Go feed the birds
Life is sweeter
Life is sweeter
Just beneath
Just beneath
Just beneath
The Bird-feeder
Just beneath the Bird-feeder
Just beneath the Bird-feeder
Just beneath the Bird-feeder

It Won't Be Me

I broke the windshield
I passed out on your lawn
I made it back before the dawn
Safely underground
Where the sun can’t hurt me now
Don’t think I’ll wake up
Until you’re gone
Safely underground
At least it won’t be me that hurts you now
No I’m safely underground
I drank from every glass
I burned you out
And we’d burn it down without a doubt
But I’m safely underground
At least it wound Be me that hurts you now
No I’m safely underground
See where a little bit of fun gets me
See where a little bit of fun gets me
Another evening
Some other time
Maybe I’ll wake up and you’ll be mine
But I’m safely underground
At least it won’t be me that hurts you now
No I’m safely underground

You’ll sing along in supermarket aisles
Some Christmas songs can’t help but make you smile
But once in a while they’ll break your heart
Toss some chocolate stars in your shopping cart
Settle in there’s a marathon on tonight
Tuck into your favorite chair and hug your pillow tight
It’s a Wonderful Life
George Bailey I’ll love you till the day I die
Go on ahead just cry and cry
No one should be alone on Christmas
You’ll put on a sweater and a smile
Shed a tear for every single mile
That you are from the ones that you love
Go on and wipe those tears with your winter glove
Settle in there’s a marathon on channel 3
Get into your slippers then turn on the tree
It’s a Wonderful Life
George Bailey I’ll love you till the day I die
Go on ahead just cry and cry
No one should be alone on Christmas

Rosie’s eyes
You be careful they will hypnotize you
You may tell zero lies to them
Or something bad could happen to you
Sorry
I’m all ears
I can hear when the babies cry for sweets
And then make them fall asleep
On clouds made of frosting
Mmmmmmmmmm
Sabrina knows
Just how everybody goes
Your cares and your woes
She can smell ‘em on you when you walk into the room
Ay Dios mío, Linda
She’s the only one of us that Rosie let’s frost a cake
A red with with a fair hand and everything we bake
Gets sprinkled with glitter
And rainbows
And gold stars too
All for you
Laura Laura Laura
She’s got the touch
Feels too much
Knows when everything is gonna be alright
And she looks so pretty on her broom
Flying off into the night
Over the Overlook
Yeah
Over the Overlook
Over the Overlook Bakery Tonight

Time traveling sharks
Swimming across the seas of time
Traveling sharks
They can't remember who they were
No they can't remember if they were devoted fans
No they can't remember if they had wedding plans
Time travel is hard on a heart
You need the heart of a shark
To swim the seas of time
Time traveling sharks
Time travel is hard on a heart
You need the heart of a shark
Time travel is hard on a heart
You need the heart of a shark
To swim the seas of time
And remembering is the hardest part
Yes, remembering is the hardest part
In swimming the seas of time

You wear your dress whites
I'll wear that blue dress
It never feels too late
to get in a mess with you
On the corner of borrowed time
and something new
What else have we got to do?
You'll have to lean in close
‘cause I don't see so good
And when you say my name
Say it like you want me please
speak up and say it clear
then wrap your arms around me dear
the whole night through
What else have we got to do?
what else have we got to do?
It never feels too late to get in a mess with you
