Where'd you go after the run-through?
Where'd you find yourself?
Where'd you find to let yourself go?
Yesterday I heard it blow
I heard the door slammed opened
And I knew, now, you had it all to lose ...
Pam, all these colored balloons
are right here in your hand
and all the world is new
rising to your command
chase it into the blue
Days you lost, days you wanted,
let them grieve into the snow
All this gold, all these rainbows
Ah just turn around
Take a look at what you've found
Pam, all these colored balloons
are right here in your hand
and all the world is new
rising to your command
take it into the blue
Pam, who paints the colored balloons
find it in your hand
take all the smiles for your
gleam them over the land
make the dream come true
We love you when and we love you now
we love you straight and we love you around
we love you up and we love you down
we love you, we love you

That Dress

Take off that dress, let the wind brush through
Let the seams free to follow their dreams,
me and you.
Lay your carpets by,
Share my pillow.
Rising where we fly
over the hills,
beyond the borders of sin,
naked as the day we begin.
Beyond beyond beyond beyond
the borders of sin, naked
Empty that dress, once and for all
weave senseless, finding the wind
Given unreason of mysterious skin.
Mine can change your mind.
Share my pillow.
Fly your carpet high
over the hills
beyond the borders of sin,
naked as the day we begin.
What's coming is once in a lifetime
and better than we could ever guess.
Time and time again.
The secret that's shared with molasses and God
and champagne is the carriage of bliss.
And we could never, never yearn for more.

Keep the moon over your left shoulder
Tread this line so thin
Never war, never win
Keep the moon over your left shoulder
Walk the day I wait
Before that garden gate
Tread this line so thin
You are my destiny
Keep the moon over your left shoulder
You are my destiny
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-
Let's ride oh mean device
to paradise
Love needs sacrifice of
love.
You are my destiny.
You are my destiny.

She rises easy
She falls hard
She's never completely pleased
with the deal of the cards
There is the cut of his shirt
He has a scar above his knee
She can accept these imperfections
but she can never not see.
The sun glides away
A bright and twilight rose.
Numbers never do say
What the willow knows.
She will follow the sun,
a bright and twilight rose.
Counting on love to come
watching when it goes.
She rises easy,
She falls low
she hides behind a screen
and x-rays his soul.
And when he finally asks her,
what do you need?
She ticks off the facts
and swallows her greed.
The sun glides away
A bright and twilight rose.
Numbers never do say
What the willow knows.
She will follow the sun,
a bright and twilight rose.
Counting on love to come
watching when it goes.

Hobbes Town

Slaps like books
firecrackers
echo down
Set to howl
scared bejesus
we're breaking it down
break it down
Braids of lives
broken backers
open gown
She got big, just
a child like his mother
we're breaking it down
break it down
Get nasty solitaire, yo
pop the trunk, Ess, pop the trunk
go, show 'em how we do
Hobbes' lives
Hobbes' town
we're breaking it down
break it down
Bullet black
three square miles of rage
hear that sound
Glass breaks
warm blood drying on the page
we're breaking it down
break it down

The Chains

Cries upon the devil, cry from me
Cries upon the angel, cry from me
Blood spread on the water, Lord
trials make my hand
Child of moon feathered night
Raise up starlight oh
raise up starlight
Walk in chains of life
The chains of life so bright
cooing like a dove
Spark up starlight split the night
all below, all above,
there is love.
Each love binds you suffering
to the name of God.
In this soil is the blood of my ancestors
in this arm is the art of my ancestors
in the eyes of children
in the blind of the sky
in the craving of my heart,
in the craving of my heart.
Walk in chains of life
The chains of life so bright
cooing like a dove
Spark up starlight split the night
all below, all above,
there is love.

Sunset Street

Sunset Street is not L.A.
And my own grave is miles away
Blanket dark is the night
with spoon-spilled starlight
Toll bells, tolls of the bells
are falling into the ocean
like a fishy wishing well
Should be "sunrise"
This is not L.A.
The beach is such the tourist dream
at the end of the day.
Truth disguised as lies revealed
by strap lines and sunburn
in painful peals
Toll bells, tolls of the bells
are thrown to the ocean
like a fishy wishing well.
