I'm not in love with the modern world
I'm not in love with the modern world It was a torch driving the savages back to the trees Modern world has more ways And I don't mention it since it's changed While the people go out and the people come home again It's gotta last to build up your eyes And a lifetime of red skies And from my bed the sound of your haunted hissing in my bed Modern world don't ask why Cause modern world will build things high Now they house canyons filled with life Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you You just bring me down |

You said you hate the sound
Of the buses on the ground You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town Said pretend it's whales Keeping their voices down Such were the grounds for divorce I know On the radio And the bouncing body drone Found eighteen reasons I can't pick up on the phone Said look at the clouds It's a show all on its own Such were the grounds for divorce I know But the darling is dead We hit her on the head It looked like a wedding cake But the darling is dead We hit her on the head It looked like a newlywed But I look at the lovers And they way they stand And the way they move and the way move their hands And I look at their babies And their tiny little hands And the way they get loved and the way they get loved Oh look at the lovers And they way they stand And the way they move and the way move and the way move their hands Said you hate the sound Of the buses on the ground Said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town Said pretend it's whales Keeping their voices down Such were the grounds for divorce I know Looked like a newlywed On the radio And the bouncing body drone Found eighteen reasons I can't pick up on the phone Said look at the clouds It's a show all on its own Such were the grounds, such were the grounds for divorce I know |

At the party we got chained at the wrists
Outside there's girls saying It's not gonna be just only a kiss Everyone's disguised just a little bit I had a bad bad time tonight I had a bad bad time tonight Bad things happen in the night Where we built another world Styles surround you here comes the night time Where we built another world Evening time I made a loud sound and shake some teeth Saw the lights pale across the street It's not gonna be just only a kiss Everyone's disguised just a little bit I had a bad bad time tonight I had a bad bad time tonight Bad things happen in the night Where we built another world Styles surround you here comes the night time Where we built another world Evening time Where we built another world Hang ghosts from the trees and that's what I saw Where we built another world Hang ghosts from the trees and that's what I saw Where we built another world Where we built another world Where we built another world Here comes the night time |

The parapet's fallen out Oh, behold! When it reaches the ground Oh, behold Oh, behold When We can sing To cracks in the crossbeams We can sing Very very quietly We can sing We can sing for each other Until then don't tear your hair out I won't tear it out if you don't When I die I'm leaving you my feet When you die You can stand up for me Make a lie and all they can do is put me in your hair I'll be happy there Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh, behold When my parapet has fallen out Oh, behold Lift it up off the ground Oh, behold then Oh, behold then We can sing then Oh, behold then |

When you're on your own
Spread out on the map Dead The highway's endless drone Something familiar And how we love the seasons that hide in our stomachs That howl and howl and howl as if Dropped from the great height And I thought the hours that lie in the kitchen They drag him, drag him, drag into black night Dropped from the great height It was strange Constant blue And the same ghost every night I go walking Just to find My own breath my own breath through the path I go walking Just to find My own breath my own breath through the path Dropped from the great height It was strange Constant blue And the same ghost every night It was strange Constant blue And the same ghost every night I go walking Just to find My own breath, my own breath through the path I go walking We are raised up very high We are raised up very high My own breath |

Static gauge with the rush and the lights And on this concourse you look very fine But this place here is no friend of mine And what you know can only mean one thing And what you know can only mean one thing Rooted to the place that you sprang from And this dirt was a building before Tore it down before they opened the door Don't shout, don't holler, don't you cry What's past we'll just leave it behind and I rode horse-shaped fire draggin' stereo wire and we rode chemicals until the breaking of dawn and I rose over a town, raised up by the sound of its drum and I rose out on the porches, again making horses lay down and this place here is no friend of mine what's past, we'll just leave it behind and what you know can only mean one thing and what you know could only mean one thing rooted to the place that you sprang from |
