Right Angle

Can’t wake up
At the right angle
Deep down
Deep down
Deep down
Now I know what’s waiting
And now the fires are raging
Let us talk
Find the right angle
Keep a, keep a, secret
Without changing the phrasing
Without making arrangements
Let us all
Try to untangle
A reason, reason, reason
For all the lies in the basement
And all the hours wasted
Now we know what’s waiting
And now the fire’s raging
Point your rifles at
The all knowing eye
Hold true and mean it
Fill your pockets up
And now you’re running wild
All through the evening

Up the Rafters
02:55
|

|
Well the ashes fall
From the auburn sky
Forming walls of coal
In the countryside
And you leave your hole
And you wonder why
When the wind it blows
It shakes the rafters
Rafters, rafters…
Either way you go
They’ll be watching you
Through a telephone
In the radio
Down a rabbit hole
When you’re all alone
When you cut through the cord
Stopped listening to me
In the night I would say
You’re an animal
Now I’m lost in a maze
and the fire came
Down the halls, through the door
And up the rafters
Either way you go
They’ll be watching you
Through a telephone
In the radio
Down the rabbit hole
When you’re all alone
In the radio, in the radio…
The sky hovers over the road
A bright supernova above burns out

In a balcony overlooking San Francisco Bay
Felt the roar of an F18 making rounds across the state
Looking over my shoulder for a rising tidal wave
Saw the glow of forest fire on a hill by the Golden Gate
Up in the clouds a trail of smoke from a rocket
Breaking apart just like the foam from a wave
Moonlight falling on my bed as the same scenes resurrect inside my head
In the night
Had a dream I was older
And the oceans washed away
All that’s left was a submarine from a military base
I remember I saw you, hypnotized and half awake
Then you pulled me in closer
And you showed me what remained…
Old little pictures in the fold of your wallet
Fading away just like the scroll on a grave
Moonlight falling on my bed as the same scenes resurrect inside my head
In the long night, night, night

Tremors (Etna)
04:20

Sun peaked out at the end of day
Glowing orange though a cloud of haze
Evening falls, fire in the sky
Parking lot on the interstate
Now we go in the wrong direction
Up the mountain with your blessing we will go
Ground it shakes when it’s unexpected
Stuck in place while the town is crumbling below
Spirits down in the month of May
Vandals tore up the government
Helicopters littering the sky
Everyone looking for an alibi
Now you call when I wasn’t expecting
All this talk and speculation
Leave it alone
Always safe and unaffected
Still you talk to a ghost from centuries ago
You ain’t as interesting
Darling as you once were
Trailed by a specter
Lost in the ether
You’re out in the open
Blistering cold wind
Waiting for the rapture
Some shining hereafter
Counting up
All the cars on the road
As the rain starts to fall
And it blankets the road
Counting up
All the cars on the road
As the rain starts to fall
Till it blots out the sun
Counting up
All the cars on the road
As the rain starts to fall
till it blinds everyone

Diver in the Reef
04:35
|
|||
|
Head lurches, the car reverses
Sinking into the bay
Old radio skips and searches
‘til the circuitry breaks
They will be on the way
They won’t find anything
Down into the deep blue ocean
Lost in inner space
Tank purges and engine surges
As the air escapes
They keep searching the docks till morning
While the tide pulls away
Sunlight is on the way
It shines on everything
But no trace of a car or person
So the memory fades
Falling
Falling
Falling
Under it all
And now you’re calling out to me
While I was diving in the reef
I hear you calling out to me
And now I’m rising from beneath

Graduate
Consummate
Fold the sheets
Hang the wreath
All we are
Raindrops in an alleyway
Dried up on a sunny day
Half the day
Idling
Fast asleep
Lost in dreams
All we are
Blue birds on a palisade
Mesmerized by everything
Now, fallen leaves
Sinking underneath
Icarus falls
In the sea
While we drift to sleep
So much for the trick of space and time
Morning comes and everyone is blind
And there’s no wall to bang on
‘Cus the old world’s just bedrock
We’re trying to cross an ocean
But flailing in place
Life underwater
Life underwater
And now we’re calling up
Seeing light above
Turning inside out
Life underwater
Life underwater
And no one’s finding us
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Circle
03:23

Guess we’re running in a circle
Till our feet are blue and purple
Guess we’re running in a circle
Gravity it’s universal
What’s even happening?
Nobody’s asking nobody cares
Why no reaction?
As half of Alaska falls in the sea
Who are the valkyries?
Aligned along the balcony
Looking down upon the circle
Knowing pain is universal
Can you not see we’re all insane?
Little rocks circling the drain
And when we get through
It cycles round again
Now always
But now I’m waking
Now I’m waking
Now I’m awake
Out in the pasture
Withering apple falls from the tree
In the compactor
All was recycled into the sea
We are a parody
The last to come
The first to leave
And we’re running in a circle
Till our feet are blue and purple
Can you not see we’re all insane?
Little rocks circling the drain
And when we get through
It cycles round again
Now always
But now I’m waking
Now I’m waking
Now I’m awake

Mary Anne
Is there something you could do?
To make us talk in a room
When I walked down Hyperion Avenue
I heard a call
In the tree there were rustling leaves and then…
A mourning dove
Mary Anne
Was that you flickering in the sky?
Your voice trails off in the night
When you left there was something missing on the calendar
Day was breaking but we were beaten down
And no one sang
Two thousand years
Old voices echoing
On the holy days
Oh lord
Take me away
Off to a safe place

No reaction
Total absence
When I walk in
You’re wandering
Alone in the dark and silence
You know you can let some light in?
Passing traffic
Distant motion
You’re dropped in an open casket
It pulls you in like a magnet
Now you’re asking
Fading old friend
Why the stalling?
Where’ve you been?
You know that I must be honest
And not give an empty promise
Run away from all this
Sun’s gonna rise
Over the lake, the colors will change in autumn
Run away from all this
Take what you like
Somewhere the days are long and the trees are sprawling
Run away from all this
Sun’s gonna rise
Always you wait too long and the rain is falling
