Days of Disaster
03:09

Spent all day getting hungry
Now I'm reaching towards the city
I just need somebody to get behind
Strung out and stiff hearted
Nobody in this town gets me
This place is going out of style
So tonight I'm gonna get wild
These are the days of disaster
Hardly get to recognize them
Before they've passed ya
How'd we even get so far?
I hardly got to know you brother
Maybe we're born from the opposite sides
Makes you ache at the comedy of relation
Somewhere on the eve of disaster
I'm the orphan on the last evening train
(You gotta get off sometime baby)

Going Gray

Old dirty river’s going gray
(from factory runoff)
All of the trees have burned today
(energy is gone)
Lady’s on fire now
Look at her smokin
It’s time you kept a check on the rise
of your humming shorelines
so easily slips away
Think about the ones in the widening gape
I’m troubled by what I can’t change
Slowly slipping under
The waves of a garbage harbor
The volcanic crash
I’m caught in the path
How can I get back?
4 million dying all alone
(ten this week by the gun)
not enough beds, no one to hold
(lady’s on after dark)
Melting ice-caps, lost falcons
Struck with envy, my poison pen
Things in the distance
Are coming fast
So forgive me
I’m going gray

Nasty!

The girl was half my age
We were do or die and counting down the days
To our son
To our first born one
I took a walk around
And I patiently awaited the moment when you called me out
Odd like the sound of a tin foil bomb
I’d like to say you’re wrong but I don’t have time
What’s the meaning of my life?
Oh come on baby just try and shut your eyes
Every day is wronger
Just flip the book the earth is dying it’s grave
I took a walk around
Saw Betty and her baby Daisy foaming at the mouth
They’d like to founder anybody’s fault
But they didn’t find nothing
Didn’t and they won’t
What’s the meaning of my life?
Oh baby I just don’t know
I took a shot for all the dumbed down lies
This world is so mysteriously tied
To things beyond you and I
I bought the box because history’s just some dying thing
I bought the box because passion is so nasty today
I need you to be nasty to me!

The Comfort Station

Kathy is it true
Under your glasses
Is there a hole that’s filled
An identikit
So fine thinking of you
On the veranda
I gave you a parting gift
It’s the knife I named “Alaska”
Oh well!
Muted memories talking
Kathy kneels at the zero crossings
Goes dark with me
To buy the morning bird
And think of songs of my destruction
