Don’t Know (in a song)
I don’t know in a song what it feels like to be I
I don’t know in a song what it feels like to be I
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know

Death has a girlfriend
Well there’s a guy called death, cause he walks around, wearin’ a cape and a frown
Well not really a frown, but anyway, they call him Death
Death has a girlfriend
Well I’ve never really met him or anything, but I’ve seen him around for quite some time.
I’ve only really talked about him with my friends. We’d say, “There goes death,” as he walked by.
But then the newspaper ran a story, all about Death. They quoted his mother saying, “Death is a good boy.”

Damascus
These are confusing times
The men who stand before you
having killed and resisted
in order to stand for causes
they never dreamed would mean a thing to you
And their enemies
sit across the table
drinking wine
and breaking bread
And they look into their eyes
and sign the death release
asking moderates to throw their bodies on the fire
and others to hunt them down
On this land stands a man overlooking
Damascus
and Galilee
feeling shy, feeling powerless to leave
Cultural Dinosaur
The pride of your people is

Well, I’ve got a problem
somethin’ that I’ve got
I’ve been pretending to be something that I’m not
An astronaut
King of the road
There’s so much astroturf, this field just can’t be sown
Baby soldier
tell us how you fight
All your battles
seein’ in the night
An astronaut
King of the road
Let’s get some paper
and let this thing unfold
But don’t get a crewcut
cut off all your hair
I just don’t think you want to
Find your new look
It’s already there
Just keep on doin’ what you want to
Well, I’ve been thinkin’ about
Aristocrats of love
Sons and daughters of the eighties
Aristocrats of love
Show us what you’re worth
Huddled masses
are your masters
precision is your drug
Get a crewcut
cut off all your hair
I just don’t think that you want to
Get a new job; I don’t really care
Just keep on doin’ what you want to
Don’t get a crewcut
cut off all your hair
I just don’t think that you want to
Find your new look; it’s already there
Just keep on doing what you want to

Come Home
[When I come home cold and tired
warm my bones beside the fire
See the light that’s in your eyes
Never to grow old]
When I come home to your touch
The slights don’t mean so much
The deceit and all the lies
It all just passes by
And when the time has come to die
There’s no need for you to cry
Just reach out and hold my hand
I can feel you understand
When I come home to your smile
take a walk for miles
The hope that’s in your touch
Means so much
When I come home to your smile
take a walk for miles
The hope that’s in your hand
I feel you understand
Capital
When it’s stupid to be feeling so tall
Take your family by facility
Close the doors
always close them
Close the doors
always close them
As a witness to another day
Tell me ’bout some other loneliness
Every corner needs an answer they say
Buy me, buy me some capital
Buy me today
Cause at home
children always gather
The sun it always rises and fall
Behind the back road to nowhere
the sun it always rises and fall
Lay low
wait for tomorrow
Center is question
and nonsense to gain
Stay slow
wait for tomorrow
At home
children always gather
The sun it always rises and fall
Behind the back road to nowhere
the sun it always rises and fall
Lay low
wait for tomorrow
Center is question
and nonsense to blame
Stay slow
Add up your capital

Can’t Feel
I can’t feel
your breathe on my face
I can’t see
the ocean or the waves
Where have they gone?
Where has it gone?
I can’t feel
the air or the spray
I can’t see
The harbor or the bay
Where have they gone?
Where it belongs
I rose this morning
All through today
Looking for your shadow
Looking for the way
Where has it gone?
The air has withdrawn
Look at my compass
Look at my mate
Is this an accident?
Is this a mistake?
Where
Where are we now?
Hold on the wheel
Shade my eyes
Is that land before us?
Should this be a surprise?
Where are we now?
Is this the way to the now?
Boat
I duplicate
I duplicate your thought
and I know
I know
and I know
No words can say
When I row my boat back home
When I row my boat back home
To you
To you
To you
When I walk away from you
When I walk away from you
I say thank you
please come again
I say thank you
No words can say
When I drive my car back home
When I drive my car back home
To you
And you smile
No words can say
When I walk away from you
When I walk away from you
I say thank you
I appreciate
I say thank you
Please come again
When I walk away from you
When I walk away from you
Biggest Fear
My baby’s got the biggest fear
Fears her master when he’s nowhere near
My baby’s got the biggest fear
Fears her master when he’s nowhere near
Ah when, when will he pass away?
My baby’s like a junkyard dog
She’s tied to a chain that’s tied to a log
Oh when, when will it pass away
My baby’s like a brand new car
You can see her shinin’ from a near and afar
My baby’s like a brand new car
You can see her shinin’ from a near and afar
Oh when, when will she drive away?
My baby’s got the biggest fear
Fears her master when he’s nowhere near
My baby’s got the biggest fear
Fears her master when he’s nowhere near
Ah when, when will he pass away?
Ah when, when will he pass away?
Ah when, when will he pass away?
I wait for you
by the banks of the shore
I wait for you
forever more
There is no tomorrow
There is no today
Nothing that can happen
can make my feelings sway

American Peace
First time I heard your voice
That’s when I knew I had no choice
Da da da da da
da da da
So this is American peace
sword in hand, afraid to sneeze
Hope it lasts more than a week
probably won’t
Got your letter yesterday
Miss you more than words can say
Though there’s nothing I can do
Take me from here to you
So this is American peace
sword in hand, I’m on my knees
Hope it lasts more than a week
probably won’t
Almost Rome
Well, there he stood

I can’t fake it no more
I can’t take it no more
All people are afraid
Steam rolls over my face
Don’t you ever wonder why?
