Oh the tide rushed up the shore washed away all the things we did before oh the tide rushed up the shore footprints from where we walked before oh mother take me home i'm in a place i've never been before oh mother take me home i'm in a place i've never been before and it's a long long way to the curry fair where i've been workin' 9-5 operating rides watching kids come in and get drunk off the wine that their father made passed down by mouth from a former day and the taste is a thought in the child's head planted there by a man that's long since dead you don't know me, nor i you faded with time and so will you drink in your cup, the only think oh, that survived all this death and the birth and the fall and the spring everything Oh the tide rushed up the shore washed away all the things we did before oh the tide rushed up the shore footprints from where we walked before oh mother take me home i'm in a place i've never been before oh mother take me home i'm in a place i've never been before it's a long long way from Dahlenburg and i've been working 9-9 in the gravel mine all the roads were said to be gold but i sold my name for a smile pull the grape from the vine and ferment a while and the taste is a thought in the child's head planted there by a man that's long since dead you don't know me, nor i you faded with time and so will you, it's true drink in your cup, the only think oh, that survived all this death and the birth and the fall and the spring everything everything everything

The Arrival 04:04
I think we reached it Can't believe it We found the best thing ever I think we reached it Hiked a hill a hill so high, the sun lit up our hands Lift up our hands To the whisperer said she Two pairs of hands is all we've got to lift each other up My baby, she's so good to me I pick her up just like a flower And lately it gets me in the knees She knocks me out She's super-powered I think we reached it Can't believe it We found the best thing ever I think we reached it Hiked a hill a hill so high, the sun lit up our hands Lift up our hands To the whisperer said she Two pairs of hands is all we've got to lift each other up

The Orchard 04:30
All the leaves are singing now With last years shells upon the ground These trees can be a lovely place I know The clouds peek through treetops and say Can't have the sun without the rains With so much love a little pain It's not much of a price to pay

Seemed like just a week ago We were driving up from New Mexico We hadn't met for four years I was eighteen with so much left to know If you could just hold on for me I'll hold hand If you could hold on for me Hold your hand If you could hold on for me It's late in the day the piper has played All of the songs that we requested of him I beg him to stay play just one more But he packs up his pipe and walks out the door Hope that the last thing you heard wasn't us crying Lie down now, you tried enough Falling apart bones and the skin So caught up don't know where it all went

Babies grow up and grow old and fly away Lost in the atmosphere Floating up, floating up to nowhere That's why we kind of act delusional Looking up for something On my knees and nothing evers come And then I'm lying at night when a phone rings in my head It's says Don't waste no time Thinking about dying You just float up when it's time You float up when it's time I'll try not to cry Lost in the atmostphere Floating up I see the end it's near I look down and it's so beautiful I can see my children, all the things they're building It'll all be gone one day, but that's OK Don't waste no time Thinking about dying You just float up when it's time You float up when it's time I'll try not to cry

The Fears 04:00
I wake up with anxiety pop some pills and turn on the tv Some faces talking to me Surrounded from all sides the chatter's high So I hop in the car for my daily trip It's the risky bit, but I just deal with it And traffic's bad - 2 dead on the road Where did they go, where did they go Now tension's high and the budget's low last one in is the first one out the do(or) Now he's laid off, but what did he do? They sent him home and they won't tell you, Uh huh. It's a messy game of politics filled with slick and dirty tricks See the messy game of politics yes my friend you'll play a bit I got the fears so many fears... Time to make dinner, what do I eat? It looks like food and it tastes so sweet You gotta keep up with your heath these days There's a 1000 ways and you're gonna pay It's getting hard for me to breathe Who else is having thoughts like these? And who do you trust these days They're profit taking - you're the one that pays

Short Days 03:56
Hold me hold me in your arms The smell of home I forgot But I can see it I'm laying on the floor A lazy Sunday I'd trade for a year right now One more breath one less that I'll take As I get older it seems I understand less Things used make sense Rain used to dance in my hand But I can see it I'm laying on the floor A lazy Sunday I'd trade for a year right now So kids you listen when they say It's a short day It's a short day You should listen when they say It's a short day It's a short day

Some years ago They wrote down words in an ancient tome Now they don't make sense to me Do the words make sense to you Praise to his name But a name needs a face so we can conversate But he hasn't come to our town And it's left us all feeling down I think what we need is a holy ghost world tour Lights music and much more We'll give those sceptics 'what for' It's a show that'll teach you the secrets Song and dance and his clever rhymes It's all revealed with his mighty theatrics About damn time Well I'd like to see And pump my fist when he drops the beat Word up God That was profound They'll take proceeds End world hunger and start world peace Yeah I know it Yeah He'll do it I think what we need is a holy ghost world tour Lights music and much more We'll give those sceptics 'what for' It's a show that'll teach you the secrets Song and dance and his clever rhymes It's all revealed with his mighty theatrics About damn time It's about time It's long overdue Coming to you Holy Ghost World Tour!

Looking back would I change things Functions and logic just aren't that exciting Your advice I sought Gut my bubble burst and now i've dropped 105 chances to make your own life wiil you? There's a horse in the field right there He can't buck his rider up in the air See the ox in the field with the plow He will pull till he falls in the ground Oh this life it's not what i thought it'd be But it still amazes me It's confused surreal and serene here Bring the bacon home and fry it up (mmmm mmmm) If i had a better view, sunny days and a nice pair of shoes To shuffle along, shuffle board and a big house And a nice big death bed. Here we go! Lay an egg for the farmer man in a cage on a farm you'll stay Would a pig ever leave it's sty? Lots of food and the mess it's made, it's made, it's made, it's made I made this mess Now clean it up, time to clean it up now...

I waste my time Thinking of better ways To spend my time Monday through friday I waste my time Thinking of better ways To spend my life Monday through friday All I need is a way to take it back Stick it out and follow through It's been said to you Your family's important too Now hit those books and do The rote and mind-numbing Focus on this one thing You'll be a cog within A clockwork contraption Spit out as they please Replacements come easily Spit out as they please Replacements come easily
