Calling Out To You

CALLING OUT TO YOU
There was a panic in the streets today
The rain was a dark sheet of grey
It washed the garbage down the drain
Through the tubes and out to sea
It floated peacefully
And washed back with the waves
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
You gotta have someone to lean upon
And have someone to lean on you
There isn't so much mystery
Life is so much misery
With bits of ecstasy
And scattered sympathy
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
You gotta have someone
You gotta have someone
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you

Glass And Mirror Strays

GLASS & MIRROR STRAYS
This could be the golden age
Or maybe just a gilded cage
Riding slow, riding high
Saw my reflection in the sky
Oh my - the sky - oh my
Bridges span the river slow
Lights are calling row by row
Echos off the skyscraper
Walking through the city dirt
Cars roll - lights flow - cars roll
Here it comes oh the sun is rising
It'll walk you home, walk you home
We're reflections of the glass and mirror, strays
Just another perfect day
Buildings cut the golden rays
Looking up they reach so high
Saw my reflection floating by
Oh my - so high - oh my
Here it comes oh the sun is rising
It'll walk you home, walk you home
We're reflections of the glass and mirror, strays
**stop**
Reflections of you - reflections of me
Reflections of you - reflections of me
Reflections of you - reflections of me
Reflections of you - reflections of me

Infinite (Us)

INFINITE (US)
In the airport halls
On the endless walks
Looks like we're going somewhere
But I don't want to talk
About it all
It's infinite
Infinite (us)
Floating overhead
At thirty thousand feet
Drifting aimlessly
To whatever we may meet
We're unstoppable
And infinite
Infinite (us)
I have no hope at all
When I look down
Every-thing's decaying
Or they're pulling it all down
We're unstoppable
And infinite
Infinite (us)
Infinite (us)
Infinite (us)...

Easy

EASY
When you find you're in too deep
You can't wake up and you just can't sleep
And the trains are all off line
Under pounded city streets
Through the heavy leaded heat
Always moving on some line
Everyone's completely
Racing 'round come meet me
Hey yeah
Hey, it don't come easy
Hey yeah
Hey, it don't come easy
Well the wages have their sin
And the city has its' din
And it always has a cost
Sometimes the cost is just too much
But it never is enough
Falling through a crack
Everyone's completely
Racing 'round come meet me
Hey yeah
Hey, it don't come easy
Hey yeah
Hey, it don't come easy
Hey yeah
Hey, it don't come easy
Hey yeah
Hey...

Water

WATER
You were just walking
No one was near you
But someone was watching
Someone got near you
Oh, they found you in the light of day, all gone
Ah....
Oh, you flew away but you had some help
Ah....
Don't go to water
No one can help you
'Till after it's over
They will then lift you
Oh, the city sometimes eats its' young, alright?
Ah....
Oh, you flew away but you had some help
Ah....
Down by the water
Edge of the city
Someone was watching
Someone was ready
Oh, they found you in the light of day, all gone

The Long Way Home

THE LONG WAY HOME
Remember how we used to think we owned the streets
Everything was ours we were so complete
The sun would rise and set
On our heads and hearts and our bedded sheets
We smoked until we went to sleep
I heard the neighbors wake
So let's go back home
Slow in return
Take the long way home
Well let's go back home
Slow in return
Take the long way home
In a yellow cab with windows down and rain coming in
We kissed and then we kissed again
Then you slept on my arm
Hours after we had shut the last bar down
We found ourselves on a rooftop looking down
Waiting for the sun
So let's go back home
Slow in return
Take the long way home
Well let's go back home
Slow in return
Take the long way home
So let's go back home
Slow in return
Take the long way home
Well let's go back home
Slow in return
Take the long way home

So Far Away

SO FAR AWAY
I see you in the atmosphere, on high
Heading for the stratosphere
Information's flying by, but I
Can't compute or fathom why
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away.....
We are dreams we are pink machines, it's true
Fragile frames that break and sing in blue
Living in out hemispheres, we are
Silver hearts on search so far so near
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away....
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away....

Slow Clouds

SLOW CLOUDS
Remember how things would happen, we didn't try
Sitting in an island basement, sky high
And we never had the cough but we had the medicine
Rolling to the Devil's Tower, we were in
Starting up high
Clouds roll slowly by
Clouds roll slowly by
Someone's always getting arrested or falling down
Something's always getting busted hitting the ground
Starting up high
Clouds roll slowly by
Clouds roll slowly by
Clouds roll slowly by
Clouds roll slowly by
Clouds roll slowly by
Clouds roll slowly by
Oh...

From A Northern Shore

FROM A NORTHERN SHORE
From a northern shoreline
I feel the light retreating
Impossible believing
That every-thing's so fleeting
Ah
Ah
From a northern shoreline
The signal is deceiving
Everyone is leaving
It's possible we're dreaming
Ah
Ah
(From a northern shoreline)

Farewell Old Love
04:04
|

FAREWELL OLD LOVE
I'll miss you in the month of may
When you shake your cold skies off
I'll miss the way you lift me up
And how you never stop
I'll miss the empty streets at night
When I'm walking home alone
I'll miss the food you fed to me
And how you turned me on
Farewell old love
Farewell old love
I'll miss your chaos endlessly
I'll miss those siren songs
I'll miss the music falling out
Of windows and of doors
But I will not miss your concrete soul
It's cracked and filled with hate
I could never melt your cold cold heart
So I leave you to your fate
Farewell old love
Farewell old love
I know I'll see you someday again Dm/G
I know I'll see you someday until then
I'd wish upon a northern star
But I cannot find it here
The light pollutes the evening sky
But I know the way from here
Farewell old love
Farewell old love
Farewell old love
Farewell old love

72nd St. Horses

72nd Street Horses
Running horses seven second street
Off the subway up onto the street
Down the line toward the park
Past the place where John's bright spark went out
I thought it was a dream
Hey yeah
I thought it was a dream
Walking sidewalks waiting for the heat
My heads in clouds I'm following my feet
Down the line toward the park
Past the place where John's bright spark went out
I thought it was a dream
Hey yeah
I thought it was a dream
I thought it was a dream

Second Skin
03:27
|

Second Skin
Like flame I can't resist
You're mouth's the sweetest kiss
We're always in retreat
But I am yours and you belong to me
Beyond the mystery
I'm haunted by your touch
I never had enough
And you gave away too much
I woke the sun and you would put it back to sleep
You'd close your eyes anywhere next to me
I am you and you are me endlessly
Cause you're my second skin
You're my second skin
The picture is complete
But unpainted things remain
We always said goodbye
You were walking in as I walked out
But that is history
I shouldn't think so much
Unfinished symphonies
Sometimes you just need luck
I woke the sun and you would put it back to sleep
You'd close your eyes anywhere next to me
I am you and you are me endlessly
Cause you're my second skin
You're my second skin
You're my second skin

We Walked On
03:06
|
|||
We Walked On
What's become of us
Are we so far away
From everything around
Everything is day to day
X-ray eyes
Electric ears
Plastic dreams
And rubber years
Today -- today
We walked on. On and on.
We walked on. On and on.
What happened to our love
Did it all go away
Lost along the trail
Lost on the gone highway
From here we are
To infinity
Caught in fires
Or slow decay
Today -- today
--Chorus--
In your eyes I fell into it well
I fell...
Oh....

Here We Are
03:34
|

Here We Are
Here we are
Here we are what's wrong with that?
From baby fresh to bone decay
Ink still wet to blown away
Here we are
Here we are what's wrong with that?
Living in the sun's long rays
From morning break to end of day
But not the end of days
Here we are
Here we are just for a flash
Don't lead us down the garden path
Don't threaten us with random wrath
Here we are
Here we are just for a flash
Why'd you have us on the run
The mouse brigade has elephant guns
Fighting for their one.

My Bird
02:05
|

My Bird
Thought I'd be walking
Roads all alone
I can be by myself
Then you were waiting
Right where you stood
You could be by yourself
Angels flying
I wish I believed
Deities up in trees
Sing songs of warning
And songs of joy
That's when I found my bird
Fleeting and fated
Time has a way
Steady and temporary
So I'd rather be lucky
Or walk all alone
I can be by myself
Angels flying
I wish I believed
Deities up in trees
Sing songs of warning
And songs of joy
That's when I found my bird
That's when I found my bird

In The Wind

|

In The Wind
Think about life
Days go on and on
Some friends fade away
Some are reborn
The flowers wither and die
But then return
We are clouds and rain
We are in the wind
All along the days
In continuum
Sometimes it feels so fleeting
Sometimes it's just too long
We are in the wind
We are in the wind
We are in the wind
Been tossed around
And on the run
Drank from the cup
And had some fun
From coast to coast
And sea to sea
Been lost before
Then found the way
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh.....

You Moved Me
03:05
|

YOU MOVED ME
Sometimes you gotta dig a hole and climb right in
Other times you're Armstrong on the moon
The heavens never tell you what it is you're missing
You gotta lose it all and then begin
And you
You moved me
You moved me
With your world
Yeah you
You moved me
You moved me
In your world
So I don't want to waste another precious moment
I don't want to watch the color run away
I don't want to muse on how things should be different
I just want to sing it all away
Oh
Oh

Canadian Heart

CANADIAN HEART
i drove across canada
through regina and moose jaw
from vancouver to winnipeg
that's a place that i could live
but kept on driving instead
i have been thinking
of your old times
the photos in my mind
of you standing on the hill
oh canada
played a show in halifax
my guitar was a battle axe
swung it all around my head
woke up in some hotel bed
hung over and happy to be alive
watched the salmon swimming up the stream
returning to their only dream
oh i love you all just the same
i've got that blood running in my veins
and living in my heart

You're Not Alone
02:39
|

You're Not Alone
In the quiet places
Behind the smile traces
Beyond the windows of your soul
You alone
How do you handle
The flicker of the candle
You could drown it out indeed
Or feed the flame
How they all do laugh
In the neon bath
In the back rooms of their hearts
I will join them there
In the smoky air
In the comfort of the dark
There's a world outside
Its mouth is open wide
It'll have you just for lunch
Think I'll stay here
When you were young
There were ideas you had
Dreams were dancing in your head
Everything could be so fine
Never running out of time
Now that time is gone
Perched at bars in places
Filled with broken faces
Living for the next round
You're not alone

Horses Running Over The Hills
There's always some lamenting
It's like a runaway car
"Remember how it's different,
oh, how'd we ever come so far?"
Desperately trying to recapture
A past that never was there
Feels like we're watching wild horses
Running away over hills
Horses running over the hills
Horses running over the hills
Oh...
Oh...
If you ever get to doubting
Let the legend do the work
Get them to the saddles
Give them all the spurs
Desperately trying to imagine
A past that never was there
Feels like we're watching wild horses
Running away over hills
Horses running over the hills
Horses running over the hills
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
