Everything settles a bit
It shifts, just so, urgency lets go
And we drift afloat
And we drift unknown
Some forces cannot be stopped
It pulls, just so, powerful the throe
And I'm out alone
And I’m out unknown
Ooo…
Your tidal magnetic tow
Way out, just so, almighty here I go
And we move along
And we move unknown
Nothing else that is around
Moves me, like you, universe I do
And I’m made alive
And I’m made unknown
Ooo…

Keep
04:45

Keep spaces, not houses not homes
It passes you by before you can know
And though you can’t remember it now
You sure were in the thick of it then
Keep going, where we were going
It’s the same old place lonely as before
And though you can’t remember it now
You sure were in the thick of it then
You sure were in the thick of it then
How will we paint these nights
When the dust falls
And you can finally see
A thing or two around here
Naked in the light of the sun
Every motion of perfection undone
Hold me closer, hold me closer, hold me closer
Hold me closer, hold me closer,
Hold me closer

Heiress
04:31
|
|||
|
Don’t need my own clothes, just your
T-shirt one day old
Always hovering
At your beckon
Nothing will make you, fearless
Walking in the night
Alone my darling
Do it again
Your nest is hard to maneuver
In the darkness and then
You attract strangeness and now
I am the heiress
Swimming long stretches
Between familiar faces
Awash floating, looking for kin
Your nest is hard to maneuver
In the darkness and then
You attract strangeness and now
I am the heiress

Whole Lot
05:58
|

|
Dodging with our feet
Garbage and vomit on the train
Sneaking under streets
City morning
Even this is good
Even this is good with you
Don’t you know that
This is all there is
The whole lot of it
Don’t you know it
When you’re gone no knot in my hair
You’re not there
The little things become so big
Return to me
Even this is good
Even this is good with you
Don’t you know that
This is all there is
The whole lot of it
Don’t you know it
Oh don’t you know it baby, yeah
Don’t you know it
Pilfering away
Takin’ the old route back on
Home
Disoriented and time travelin’
Alone
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
Stretched out over bone
Takin’ the only shape we
Know
Disoriented and time travelin’
Alone
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it
One thing or the other
The whole lot of it

Nothing Lasts Forever

I want those good times back
Give me the good times back
Just bring those good times back
I want those good times back
When someone had my back
Bring me the good times back
Bring me the good times back
I want those good times back
Lovers, their hearts always wander
And friendships, oh they will fade
Nothing lasts forever
Baby, it’s ok
Oh baby it’s ok
I want those good times back
Give me the good times back
Just bring those good times back
I want those good times back
When someone had my back
Bring me the good times back
Bring me the good times back
I want those good times back
Drop the ball, let it roll
Right or wrong, shot in the dark
There’s no final answer
Baby it’s ok
Oh baby it’s ok
I want those good times back
Give me the good times back
Just bring those good times back
I want those good times back
When someone had my back
Bring me the good times back
Bring me the good times back
I want those good times back

Treasure
03:52
|
|||
|
When you leave things all dangling
You dip your toe in but don’t let it take hold
You’ll be haunted by
The current and the tide
And the ocean it will just remain blue
With or without you with or without you
This is yours alone
To treasure forever
When you leave things all dangling
You dip your toe in but don’t let it take hold
You’ll be haunted by
The absence and the time
And the ocean it will just remain blue
That you never knew that you never knew
This is yours alone
To treasure forever
To treasure forever
To treasure forever

The Way

Coats of white to cover your days
Marred into strange hues on the
Walls all around you
And the painter replies
This is the way
This is the way
This is the
This is the way
This is the way
This is the
This is the way
In the city of men’s gazes
We get up go outside, say
This is the best that I can do today
And the city replies
Outta my way
Outta my way
Outta my
Outta my way
Outta my way
Outta my
Outta my way
Coats of white to cover your days
Marred into strange hues on the
Walls all around you
And the painter replies
This is the way
This is the way
This is the
This is the way
This is the way
This is the
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the
This is the way
This is the way
This is the
This is the way

Fortuneless Fortune
05:20

Retro dreams bring me down
Remind me of those times
That have led up to now
That have led up to now
Making it all from scratch
Using what's on hand
Pulling up your socks tall
Against the cold
Patching the holes in skirts
Wearing scraps for shirts
Dusty feet in our bed
This will be the key
To a fortuneless fortune, you’ll see
To a fortuneless fortune, you'll see
Retro dreams bring me down
Remind me of those times
That have lead up to now
That have led up to now
Living in our new place
Starting fresh with space
Eating holes in my skirts
Closet moths converse
Clapping them from the dark
Cupboards too, they flew
Dusty powdered death
This will be the key
To a fortuneless fortune, you’ll see
To a fortuneless fortune, you'll see
