Kid Room 02:22
when I was a kid lived in a room couldn't fit into now that I'm home living like a grown man in two rooms you are one kid room you were wide awake in the daytime you were wide awake in the nighttime

take back the land and the sea it's just a matter of time I don't mind what you do to me out of control on the tv show forget this and forgive me build a farmhouse on the hill and wait wherever we go we're together and now that we're here the weather is better we were out on the open plain the windblown wheat and grain the light down to the dust bowl settling Grapes of Wrath and you are the coming rain we need and all the decades gone you are the lonely one like birds of a feather the weather is better everyone dance with you everyone dance with me I'm an old soul lost in the 21st century pushing up trees by my count I've got a lot of ups and downs and shout abouts you were on my mind a lot and now forever the weather is better

big bear you've got your paws on the keyboard take us to the Blue Ridge Mountaintops hemlock trees around us your world is electrical national park national park we were concrete builders and destroyers big bears and eagles lived before us strobe light moonlight gonna catch us up at night with the wild wild animals summer trip my feet if I can meet you over by that mountain with the scenic view been too long since I have seen you now my eyes are on the wonderful national park
4.
Slow Motion 04:54
sunlight screaming through the greenhouse wall growing tall the family trees of no one hardly believe all the words you've written say them to me twice and I'll forget them ..the world in 80 days of summer passports of paper mache and water mostly I miss the way you were mostly I miss the way you were best times we had every day wasn't so bad it was almost the way to go it was almost it was almost in slow motion Paradise Lost on a generation of Hemingway quotes on the bathroom wall you were always like a crowded room your heart weighed down and your lungs are balloons fighting the hand of an analog clock time will betray your every thought beaches were made to bandage me up with oceans of sand and a cold pop top
5.
Standing O 03:08
we were dead playing with my heart playing with my head all the money was spent standing oh is what we get hearts break over lunch take em to the garage throw em in the trunk we can see you next week i can see the details of your mouth closing down fixing me up shutting me down make me smile striking me out everyone take apart my heavy heart fix it up drive it off a cliff you told me that we would see the sun you told me that we would have some fun can't believe you're on a string pulling back letting go i'm going home call a taxi take the back seat heads gonna roll you never know i'm headed for the shore can't sink or float wrap me up it's time to go and i'll see the sun from the balcony we're throwing things super polite telephone rings looking for pills looking for dreams over the hills and into the stream i'll drop a hat you drop a glove the closer we get the colder is love i'm making sure the sun'll come up.

when the war is over / I won't know where to go I'm a lover without love / I'm a gun without a gun
