Danny was a drinking man
lived with a bottle in his hand
but at the end of the day he was my best friend
and so the story goes..
i moved away when i turned thirteen
took a train down to Tennessee
had some fun and wrote a song for him
and this is how it goes
oh Danny, the people in the city are
so cold to be it honestly gets the best of me
I met you back in '99
our teacher said you were out of line
but I didn't care you were just my kind
on summer nights behind your house
when you kissed me on the mouth
you said you were dead if your dad found out
well did you let him know?
oh Danny, the people in the city are
so cold to be it honestly gets the best of me
sometimes when it's quiet now
I can see the mushroom clouds
over your grey shed and your big red house
some things you win and some you lose
and everything comes back to you
oh Danny boy I heard the news
why did you have to go?
oh Danny, the people in the city are
so cold to be it honestly gets the best of me

True Friend

you don't ever want me to be
somebody that isn't me
you don't ever want me to say
things that i'd never say
i will stay with you while you sleep
and try to return all of the good things you do for me
you don't ever fight or complain
or yell when our plans rearrange
or care what the majorities say
then pretend to for social gain
i will stay with you while you cry
and we will conquer the world when you feel strong enough to try
i will stay with you when you're sick
cuz you're my friend babe thats pretty much the extent of it

I had dreams to share with you oh my
why did i think that i could try to disguise
my heart now is old and tired
I had plans for you to come and stay with me
but i was a fool cuz i was afraid
and i let it take me hold

Candy Cane

Candy Cane went a walkin' and she said,
oh surely I am not from the city
all the lights are blinding, street names confusing
and the sounds from all the people is giving me a headache
must be bad luck
Candy Cane went a walkin' and she said,
oh surely I am not from the Kazakhs
I tried on all the headgear, and sold meat at the markets
but it seems I'm not accepted to their survival
must be bad luck
Candy Cane went a walkin' and she said,
oh surely I am not from Navajo
I drank all their alcohol, to translate my motives
but it seems they weren't expecting my arrival
must be bad luck
Candy Cane went a walkin' and she said,
oh surely I am not from the city
all the lights are blinding, people confusing
and it seems as if I'm heading down my own spiral

Changes

on the side a fence divides
because the crime wasn't paid for

Walls Fall Down
03:34
|
|||
you felt sure as you board the flight
horizontally toward the light
when it finally faded out
you were headed towards a real life
where uncertainty is your friend
in your new found confidence
the only thing that stops you now
is the images in your head
but I’m so tired of having things to say
that never mattered anyway
but knowing that the walls fall down
I could never be the same now
a precious gem is a human life
to anybody who’s seen the light
but when the darkness creeps on back
it was like it was there the whole time
the transmission is coming clear
you’ve no idea what you’re doing here
baby you’d make sense of the signs
parallel from the other side
but I’m so tired of having things to say
that never mattered anyway
knowing that the walls fall down
I could never be the same now

Living in the Past
03:18
|
|||
don't you think that we're living a little bit in the past
when everything gets too fast we need our time to relax
and i have to scream to get you to hear me
but the sound will never last so i'll start living in the past
maybe we could all live in a perfect sphere in the past
pretend that no one gets sad or deals with being harassed
and we could pretend like it's so much better
but press your ear against the glass to hear the crying of the past
don't you think that we're living a little bit in the past
when everything gets too fast we need our time to relax
together we'll scream and no one will hear us
we'll pick a new place on the map and then start living in the past

can you hear me speak
can you hear me are you listening, can you even?
killed at ten by your brother ben
he was drunk with too much vodka at the river
can you hear me speak, is it a one way street
cuz i've seen your face in my dreams of the river
its like the days the phantom pain that haunts my brain is here to say
that its okay, still its a shame
it's not so clear what youre doing here
anna lee
can you hear me speak can you hear me are you listening to me?
i heard your call or was it there at all
still i visit the location of the dream
i was on the rocks when i saw your dress
and i'm starting now to wonder if it's true
when summer comes i'll find the time
to make the trip to siauliai
now autumns gone, its winter's time
i'll tell your friends of how you died
