Ziggurat 04:44
It starts with an echo A meditation in time Slowly it awakens Tolerate the shifting line While the wind is cool and the water is warm Sit here contemplating A pen in my hand Not in the streets protesting A slave to no-ones command. Readjust the measures, so no-one is alarmed Advancement for our pleasure, keeps us all calm Each breath a little shorter in the footsteps of change There’ll be no morning after, a long sequence of days With no idea from where it came If this were a fiction it’s here I’d tell The colour of their eyes, of their hair as well Still I drive to work, when I know there are trains, Do you feel the autumn heat? Do you feel that it’s strange? Pay an extra dollar, the echo will remain...

Tried to be kinder, kept my room intact Between desire and the hour that won’t come back And a stripped light sounds forever, in the slow eddies of time While the renovations stop in the weather, heart to heart in hand Come on by (if you get it together, if you get it together) Come on by (forget it forget i, forget it, forget it) Sleep behind the fences piles of aluminium, I watch the scene it plays out twice, alone and wasted in the sun And a small memory by chance, that you know won’t satisfy Til we hold the morning light in our hands let the love that loves to love Come on by (if you get it together, if you get it together) Come on by (forget it forget i, forget it, forget it)

I smiled dreams they run away away Hot air floats I’m in a steady state Laced my words with a new found tact We all felt quite the same way infact Put my 2 cents between (so I go down on one knee) I question the deliverance machine The players kneel they’re thankful for what they’ve got Don’t start me talking or I’ll never stop All the ways that you could do better And how you don’t want to upset her All this will pass Just as it should Though it’s not bad It won’t do much good So down with the system and all of that Spun myself into a web of caveats I get so lonely when I start to think She smiled at me I never took the hint Split my time between the hemispheres Both dirty, out of date and never here And I know exactly what not to say Don’t doubt it, I’m all about it babe I love to talk about the coming weather, And all the ways we could live better All this will pass Just as it should Though it’s not bad It won’t do much good

Saw it in the distance See it yourself Plain and simple There’s nothing else coming there’s no help So it comes, it’s so much easier now Now that you’ve seen it for yourself Now that you have no doubt And I want you to tell and I want you to say Can you measure the forgiveness and I don’t get my And I don’t think time will tell So comes again, are you sure? You have nothing else Wasn’t it hard, wasn’t it as simple, wasn’t there anybody else that could break the cycle And I don’t think time will tell

Supa Thang 02:00
Control rewind, body is a mess I’m attracted to all the emptiness Fragments set into a page, the brain wants to talk, the mind wants to stay So embrace, the collections the corrections the inner beauty of this new estate Ambition A softer touch Are you tired, are you tired enough Cold cold music, in the prime of your life You can get what you want but you just might need some advice Confined to stand on my feet They’ds say hello to the dog and not to me It’s a comedy, it’s a loving embrace It’s the things out on the street as the night starts to break It’s the cold cold music, in the prime of your life You can get what you want, but you just might need some advice, The carnival is over, all the people all the tears they run away You can get what you want but it just might all be a waste

New Way In 02:46
Oh new horizons hold me back til I am where I belong Tried working on weekdays, spare me the chance to learn how I’ve grown Every muscle was shaking, stripped down, there’s not way out it’s just a new way in Thoughts, these thoughts entwining, sometimes I feel the riches trickling down from above Hesitation, in time, borne out of all the things you thought you know, Every affirmation, blends in, I die on the love I can’t own Come in on a wednesday, she cries - there’s no way out so come on in Board up the house, we can begin, don’t mistake I wouldn’t win, Soft soft rain collapsing Loose change, in my hand Plastic coffee tokens and the time you owe Every muscle that I own Routine There’s no way out but we’ll try Find a way home

Emily calls me at night, tells me just as she should Take it from me porcelain doll, you’d better go get a look Good morning to ya The cities wave as they go You’ve got a new haircut and a few quick bucks that might get you along No hesitation could break the smile if you know then you know and you know you can Cut it out into the masses Into my bones Like the feeling that you’re not just alone Emily calls me at night, tells me I’m on my own I read lips for pleasure in a language that I do not know Take it from me porcelain doll a chance to find out again The curtain raiser to your life at home is hanging far away The same thoughts cannot be distinguished from the ache inside my bones Old man I just don’t know, if I could do it again Could do it again…

Lumber 04:59
When the places come and go as they please People talk and put themselves at ease Here no-one would know your name Looks so nervous as he turns away From this day let it pass Let it linger, it won’t last If I were me and you were you, I’d just let it all continue Because it takes much more than a passing whim To find somewhere to settle in You’ve got nothing to Change into You don’t want to stop so continue Change your taste while you still can Are you alone, what are you thinking? And it takes a moment to decide, if what you want is worth your while So you find someone to take control With your head dropped down you can let it roll If what you say three times is true Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the view There are no parked cars in the streets of your desire There are no parked cars in the streets of your desire If they’re here it must be worth their while And it takes a moment to decide
