Don't Move

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

(Roll)

Holiday for two
Beautiful furniture
Powdered gun drifting up inside
Cretaceous man become just what I am
Now don't move, don't move

Ooooh, don't move
Ooooh, don't move

Composed of solid song, we get along
Distance crunching honchos with echo units
Sue me if you want, there's nothing left
Now don't move, don't move

Ooooh, don't move
Ooooh, don't move

Now I mix it up with water like a sacrifice to slaughter
Take off your helmet, lay down your cable
Pick it up, earthshaker, Poseidon, heart-breaker
Don't move, don't move

Ooooh, don't move
Ooooh, don't move

No neo-Henrik Ibsen with a prehistoric Gibson
Could begin to do what I have almost done
Now look into the sunset before the final credit
Don't move, don't move

The miracles come falling, the miracles come crawling (Ooooh...)
I'm scared of something nasty, that no one can explain (Don't move)
Forget the memories dear, that I was ever here (Ooooh...)
Don't move, don't move

Ooooh, don't move
Ooooh, don't move

Ooooh, don't move

 

Traitor

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

I never understand why you put up your hand
And volunteered to play the company man
You wanna come back, you wanna have a crack
But the train is gone, it's never coming back

You should have realized by the ominous sky
Destiny was dealing you a joker, old guy
Next time don't come, don't presume you were something
You should've known better back where you came from

Every little trend that comes around the bend
Carries you aloft and you're getting soft
Struggles and sports under halogen quartz
One eye on the meter, one eye in the mirror
Its all getting dearer, it's all getting clearer
Come in peace with a sheep to fleece
Lamb noisette says she won't forget
But she'll never remember if she is dismembered [laughter]

Traitor
Traitor
Never understand
Traitor

Feel so good

You should have realized by the ominous sky
Destiny was dealing you a joker, old guy
Next time don't come, don't presume you were something
You should've known better back where you came from

Traitor
Traitor
Never understand
Traitor
Never understand

You should have realized by the ominous sky
Destiny was dealing you a joker, old guy
Next time don't come, don't presume you were something

Feel so good
Traitor
Never understand
Traitor
Traitor

Traitor
Traitor
Feel so young
I feel so young
I feel so good
I feel like spring has sprung
Traitor

Traitor
I feel so young

 

She Comes In Singing

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

(She comes in singing)
(She comes in singing)
(She comes in singing)
(She comes in singing)

You've got a lot of nerve
Gonna get what you deserve
You got around the curve

You got a face like Raphael
You got a heart like a blue whale
And your heart is not for sale

You got a mind like magazine
You got a taste like Florentine
And a lot that's in between

(She comes in singing)
(She comes in singing)

 

All See It Now

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

You shouldn't have to feel so frightened
And you just wanna feel enlightened baby, in front of you
Oh my what love can do

You shouldn't have to hide in darkness
It's not such a good likeness baby, less of you
Oh yeah what love can do

And we all see it now
And we all see it now
And we all see it now

You talk a lot about a purpose
You walk around just like circus baby, is it true?
That's what love did to you

You've got a friend who's very famous
I know you'd never ever shame us baby, but look at you
That's what fame can do

And we all see it now
And we all see it now
And we all see it now

You took a lot of people with you
And now you expect them to forgive you baby, you're not through
That's what it means to you

And then you lie down on the sofa
You know you shouldn't really bother baby, I'm here too
That's what it does to you

And we all see it now
And we all see it now
And we all see it now

And we all see it now

 

Trying To Get In

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

Voices shift throughout song: Left [L], Center [C], Right [R], and all around [All]

[R] Curled in the warm winter sun
All alone number one
Gentle caramel melting dream
Things meant for something else
What else did you give to me?
What else did you give to me?

[L] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in
[R] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in
[L] The mirror denies it, I can't wake up this morning

[R] Curled in the cool summer moon  [C] Jungle meets the sorry ocean
[C] Loses himself in the chances that fortune has given him
[R] Seven hemisphere moon
[L] Loses himself in the chances that fortune has given him

[R] Someone outside, they're trying to get in
[L] Mirror denies it, I can't wake up this morning

[C & L - overlapping in a round]
Oh Mr. Silver please come in
We've been sitting here waiting for you
Such a long, long time

[R] None may dare to watch your grandeur, none may walk
[L] Moses by the seaside in 1974, listens to the music of the skyscraper carnivores

[All] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in

[L] Mirror denies it, I can't wake up this morning

[R] Moses by the seaside in 1974, he's listening to the music of the skyscraper carnivores
[L] Somewhere in this wilderness you wander like a river
Crossing the wheat fields and crying to the sorry ocean
You're crying to the sorry ocean

[R] Wrapped in the arms of the night

[R] Somewhere in this wilderness you wander like a river
Crossing the wheat fields and crying to the sorry ocean

[All] There's someone outside

[All] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in

 

Florian Trout

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

Florian Trout was a distant boy, he lived in a very strange town
Where was he, you may well ask, when the widow's house burnt down
I've seen his face in windows, his voice upon the wind
I felt his hand on my shoulder
I felt like I had sinned

Take your time, make your way
Watch your step, watch your step

Searched for him in nightmares
I've been led through the dark
Postcards from a paradise with shadows and with sharks
In the furtive gestures, in the lightning's flash
Over static airways, detour around the crash

Take your time, make your way
Watch your step, watch your step

How deep is the deepest ocean
How high is the sky
You have love and sweet devotion
I wonder why can't I

Florian Trout was a brilliant mind, gruesome in precision
Analytic like a knife, sharp like an incision
Blue and purple in the night, he goes about his business
Seldom even looking out into the silver distance

Take your time, make your way
Watch your step, watch your step

Florian Trout was a distant boy, and he lived in a very strange town
Where was he, you may well ask, when the widow's house burnt down
I wonder how he feels right now when evening shades are falling
Lonely in his capsule with all of heaven calling

How deep is the deepest ocean
How high is the sky
You have love and sweet devotion
I wonder why can't I
Why can't I?

(Take your time, make your way
Take your time, watch your step)
[Repeated softly four times]

Who Is The One?

[Spoken as if through a telephone]
  "...obliviously walked off all dreamy-eyed
  Inconveniencing the rest of the group when they turned up late
  Or, whatever, when everyone else was waiting to leave
  And they were off like - looking around like 'Wow'
  And that's what got everybody angry."

Who's the one with the millionaire smoulder?
Who's the one with the atomic gun?
Who's the one with the vulture's shoulder?
Now tell me who is the one?

Who's the one with the diplomat fetish?
Who's the one with the burnt out sun?
Who's the one with the doomsday message?
Now tell me who is the one?

Who's the one with the multiple endings?
Who's the one when the race has begun?
Who's the one when the patent is pending?
Now tell me who is the one?

Who's the one with the modified cortex?
Who's the one with the forbidden fun?
Who's the one with the whispering Semtex?
Now tell me who is the one?

Now tell me who is the one?
You tell me who is the one?
Tell me who is the one?

Who's the one with the millionaire smoulder?
Who's the one with the atomic gun?
You tell me who is the one?

Who's the one with the pain in his face?
Tell me who is the one?

Who is the one?

 

Get Over It

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

(Where can I get over it?)
(Where can I get over it?)

Walking down the street, I'm walking down the street
People drift by and they dance a certain beat
I'm walking towards you with a flower in my hand
One of these days you're gonna understand

The lives fall away but the road goes on
I lose myself inside a song
Sing about the things that you've never had
It's funny how I'm happy when you're sad

Where can I get over it?
Where can I get over it?
Where can I get over it?
Where can I get over it?
Where?

 

Take Your Place

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

These are the marks you made
You never meant to fade
They come in to take your place
And these are the stories I heard
Come back, a sad farewell
They come in to take your place

But all of the treasure you saved
And none of the lives you lost
Will come in to take your place
And free are the days in May
But not one single moment
Will come in to take your place

(Will come in to take your place)
Will come in to take your place

(They come in to take your place)
They come in to take your place
(They come in to take your place)

(You never been to faith)
(You never been to...)
(You never)

 

Towards Sleep

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

Trust her distant island cluster
Protecting her from intrusive themes
I know I really shouldn't trust her
She's looked at all my dreams

Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep

One of the sisters is a flight assistant
One of them is a plane
One of them is a typhoon
Never going back again

One of their mothers was a mother lode
One of them was a mermaid
One of them was a long gone woman
Do you think that's funny?

(Now) She's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
Before she goes to sleep
Dream about guitar

She's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Gotta get in deep

She's hiding out in the distance
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling instance
Gotta get in deep

Now she's hiding out in the distance
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling instance
Gotta get in deep

 

The Moon And The Sea

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

The boat goes out, surrender yours
It could be any day
The fishermen shout, approaching storm
It's just like yesterday
Sometimes I can't tell what I'm doin' here
Am I supposed to be a clown or a buccaneer
From the vaguest clue to the faintest idea
A Roman holiday

Surrender smiles, epiphany
It's almost every day
And the sea's in my bed
And the moon's in my head

We live in a house upon the hill
Its just a mile away
We look out to sea, dawn's early light
It chased the night away
Sometimes I can't tell if I'm you or me
Alone in this room with the moon and the sea
Listen to the space where she used to be
Another life away

Surrender smiles, epiphany
It's almost every day
And the sea's in my bed
And the moon's in my head

Surrender smiles, epiphany
It's almost every day

 

Stop

[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

[Spoken] Ok, stop it, stop...

How long?
Long enough to know I don't know any more
How deep?
Deep inside a surging red rider
How far?
Far enough to see your shadow
How soon?
Soon this will all be gone, all be gone

And why can't you stop it?
Now why can't you just stop?

How near?
Nearly midnight in 1999's last party
How strange?
Stranger than fiction to the ear
How much?
Much more than I had ever hoped
How close?
Close enough to know that we were gone, we were gone

And why can't you stop it?
And why can't you just stop?

How... [Laughter]
[Spoken] Fine, stop, stop...

How long?
How deep?
How far?
How soon?

Wake up slowly
I've been sleeping four hundred years
All my memories
All my feelings
All disappeared

Lead me gently
Hear me faintly
Then discard
Then discard
Discard
