Village girls beyond the shrouds
There'll be a break beyond the clouds
& a lovely light will filter through
We'll finally live how we've always wanted to
But…
Everybody's lost their minds
the Reeperbahn's done been gentrified
Aquatic creatures congregating at the edge of town
But Judgement's coming from in inside out
13 sisters all the same age
"You know, you deserve a little bigger stage,"
But I shoulda left before the 14th came
The excitement she inspired was more like pain…
Thrust onto the cusp of the abyss
Even horizon at the edge of her hips
Why return where you won't be missed?
But the hook was lodged too deep to resist
My gilded prospects are clearing out
The water's not recognizing sacred ground
Provocation of the heavens gonna bring down the rain
Reengineered to never recognize disdain
Come on down…
"Plug your finger in this hole till I'm back,"
The dykes'll hold they've only started to crack—
Banking on the fear of being left alone
The power keeps transferring down below
Come on down
Hoi polloi
Red light eyes
Soi Cowboi
Come on down
Ahoy ahoi
The heavens cry
for Soi Cowboi

Trubaird! You sail the Seven Seas
Lifted by an ocean breeze
They know what you're looking for, there's keys under the ground
Buried with a big black “X” and palm trees all around
Trubaird! The heart calls from afar
Your cutty is a model in a jar
You produce a ghastly roar that swells up from the floor
A twitching smile and crooked spine your tattered flag does soar
[Trubaird you're in danger
There's steam upon the bow
Now Trubaird you're of mountain
With fire in the clouds -
With fire in the clouds]
Trubaird the rope's around your neck
With tears on her cheek a personal shipwreck
All your maps have lied to you your cannons are all gone
A steady whirl has cracked your skin and peeled apart the dawn.

Don't Let It

Don't let it in
Don't let it on
Don't let it out
I'm getting ready, holding steady
gonna push on through no matter what you do
Don't let it show
Don't let it go
Don't let it out
I see it coming but i'm not running
gonna push on through no matter what you do

Wear It Thin

Lead dents in the signs
There's ruts in the lines
Holes in my story
Cuts in your lies
Holes in the holes
through the slits of your eyes
Why don't you wanna love me
Gone & tossed us aside
Holes in my pockets
Worn out shoes
Leaks in the walls
Bills that are due
Two punctured tires
Theories ensue
Don't nobody care
When you're riddled through & through & through
Push your dreams away
Sell 'em for a song
Don't go chasing what's already gone
Now there's cracks in the light
All direction lost
Nothing but nothing is getting across
There's a rift in the night
Above an absence of ground
Theories accrue
& rumors they get around

Stand Up

Stand up & be my all
stand up & be it all
you loose it all, when you chose it all
Get out & be my guest
we loose it all when we choose it all
We'll still be here after they close
Open up don't be afraid
I know a way if you really can't stay
To get lost in whirl
I know the way if you really can't stay
We'll still be here after they close
Let's get rich to fill this void
I'll get rich so be my girl
we had it all, behind a wall
Let go, but stay real close
we had it all now we're ready for the fall
We'll still be here after they close
Stand up, get lost, stand up, let go
(Johanne, Breeden)

Power pushes the turbine
Looks like I'm back on line
I'm not going anywhere without my horse - If I can fit through this war
Steel misery
Bloody stitching coming off my bones - My saddle holds only stones
New frontier forming in me
[No more sitting in the sun - On the range - life sustained
No more sitting in the sun - On the range - life sustained
Mined ores pump through my veins]
Power pushes the turbine
Looks like I'm back on line
I'm not going anywhere...
Smoke rings halt the progress
Guy lines pull and digest
I've lost touch with anything too close—They've only captured a ghost
Climb a mountain, from the gap there
Bluff looks at a town bare
Highway signs cover up old scenes—Fuel lining a stream
[Concrete sticking to my feet - banner day, time is frayed
Congregation flooding out—they all got needs, electric schemes
No more sitting in the sun—on the range, clouds are stained
Oh lord, it's happening again]
Get shot at the last stand
Get taught by a mad man
Power pushes the turbine
Looks like I'm back on line
I'm not going anywhere without my horse—If I can fit through this war
That's where you'll find me
(Coberly, Breeden)

Watch your hands around that crazy carpenter
Close your eyes around that one-eyed welder
Looks like I’m in love again
Mix your pain with distain as you sit inside your den
Have a glass of cement as your room begins to spin
Looks like I’m in love again
Crush your bones in the door as the air is growing thin
Keep your nose in the rose while the bees produce their sin
Looks like I'm in love
Watch your hands around that crazy carpenter
Close your eyes around that one-eyed welder

Everything was better before
With a little more suffering & a lot less show
Extra-judicial, fill in the interstitial
& no one's getting out of war
Leave me aloof
but don't leave me
with these mindless fools
Little earthling go away
Come back another day
We'll put you in the oven
& eat your skin
The castic sure thing
As all the experts say
Fulflilling our predictions
Living in sin
Little birdy go your way
We've filled the river up with clay
to gather up light
to entertain our honored friend
Raze the sky out from the rust
Smash the rock right into dust
Obscuring the horizon
to preserve the splintered wind
Ghost rider
beyond the pale
tooth & nail
(Breeden, Coberly)
