i think i'll build a rocket
cuz why not robots are knockin
why waste time to be?
try to take the night and squeeze
i could have loved it
while lakes in foreign lands can have it
why waste time to be?
try to take the night and squeeze

look at that frown baby i could get away
but i'll never own it and i'll never show it
livin downtown baby we could get away if i got the wallet and no rain is falling
a week a day and i can get away
and i never know what you're gonna say
but i like to think you're gonna stay
and we could wait we're never gonna change
and i never know what you're gonna say
but i like to feel another day
nothing good happening
nothing in the way
you gotta hold it think nothing of it
what could be strange bout laughing in the rain and a lot of honey? and we'll have it someday

the belle of the ball waltzes into my eyes
(I) stare
picture page four
the gatefolds the heather
silence is pure yeah my silence is pure
can't take the blame so i'm changing my face to save you
darkness awaits girl don't be afraid
shift to your feet and crawl into me
branches keep wrapping the black stone is casting
dark life force that fasting and fastening
6 AM is calling you
pack up your dreams and your failures will rule
make tracks if you just can't go back
we cross the path the long walk back
through fire and rain the torn out page remains
lyrics and melody by Darcy McMann

big dumb sky and big dumb i join the great bright night
under shark-smelling markets and wider streets than where i'm from
i feel competition flies
completely alive completely beside completely alive
no you know you and they'll never ever know
take a bite of the stone
convocations could be wrong
it's a hard bargain middle
nothing's coming where i'm from
i feel competition flies
completely alive completely beside completely alive

i watch watchers at night
standing in the line
novices in a dream we piss in the sky
i like sucking on limes
never right on time
always early if the world meets me right on time
take five
girl don't count me outside
babe don't count me out why
couldn't we not not try
summers coming up
no i can't be that guy
some are born to rich lives
some are born to coal mines
some are coming up

i'm blown away
here in the cold
you're on the plane
you know i'd like to leave the past behind
here you are within a whisper
will we always be together my love?
here you are within a whisper

thai sauce ripping out my stomach lining
whining fellows in the basement night
tired of waiting for the start to find me
so i'll stick myself in the city blinding
while those people like to yell outside me
i can't hear themselves if i keep trying
block my ears up with a hand and a diary
lost the rode i had a long time ago
lips i could wrap in an evening
file me thin
in my bedroom singing
i got a lotta love i gotta gotta give
what's lost now won't be this morning
beside my head
i know you're still breathing
i got a lotta love i gotta gotta give

she's got eyes and sexy sighs and slender thighs and elvis cries
my baby
no control over the hole i stole the whole and called it mine
in my mind
no surprises and the prize is rising every other day
i'm sideways
i could beat it on the street and hit the meter makes some heat
i could die
and you could take it honey
you got all my money
you could take it keep me naked keep me shaking honey
we gonna keep it heavy
and we got so many
i forgot that i dont got that and i want so many

c-c-c-c-can i follow you and fellow now?
follow me into the dark
you know i got a spike in my room baby
t-t-t-take a cab in the ring
and never going now
summertime's going away now
and everything i know is going round
who we all hope i hope maybe
i know it may say

be the line that stands behind a proud and ugly logo
skin the line that sits between your job and pretty no-shows
don't crush a buttercup if you're not having a day
the ball is the rough babe but i don't wanna play
summer's comin up i'm stuck stokin a love
i wanna hecka reckanize oh my lord
wash the walls that keep you jilted
find the pork -fat paycheque
cut the creek and saw the sky and stay away from deadheads

the conversation never ended up that way
where there's smoke there's hydrogen cyanide anyway
we all walk down where the lights drown and lie awake
the schedule's set and all the boys are running away
the tire's flat and gas'll cost you everything
and sweet loud sounds circling around the underpass
oh meet me there tomorrow
cuz this is the first day i can't walk away

nothing is missed takin the piss

i could be pissed if it feels right
nothing is missed takin the piss
if it feels right

oh won't you be like my pet archie living free

and my thoughts won't be too far

if i'm leaving on a wave
if i'm steering on a steel boat now
poor poor wheels of yesterday
and i need it don't delay
takin off
tonight to ride on
tonight the coffin lid is hid away
could the coffee keep awake
those who need it for a meal though, how?
if my lips are on a wave
would i have nothing to say
la la la la long way
green light
i realize
we'll collide longing
to the path i'm on it
now they play

i've been lost between houses for so long
where they speak no words of insight
take me out in the morning
complications getting harder
if only the rent was never overdue
maybe we wouldn't have to argue
i've been honest without you for so long
meet me later on the riser
call me up with a story
that i know i can desire
if only the rent was never overdue
maybe we wouldn't have to argue

what's pickin you up
and keepin you there?
what's fillin your head and givin you the blank stare?
i got a new toy
got a new joy
got my musical suitcase
take it all over the place
i know you wanna start a conversation
but i'm not here i'm in another place
oh my private radio
y'know i love you
i got the dial to the right in the middle of the night
y'know i never wanna go to sleep
know no matter where we go
y'know i love you
i watch the traffic slide by me
in the world outside me
no i never ever wanna take it off

i know where the hours go: tomorrow
the true creator could remark more but he's made up his mind
light throws it's sharpened sticks upon you
no morose dead eye could keep the wreck upon you
if you're not with the times
and i've been nobody so long
i won't cut tomorrow
woke up with papers in my eye

great morning truck
time to corroborate
what it's like to skip away
those eyes masquerade
great gives a fuck
bounce on another day
those eyes can masquerade
arise around a last chance skipping in your new pants: first day
sick of all your questions skipping all the sections: second day
now i wanna leave it never could believe it
great morning truck

calamity is more than lies
to hang your feeling on a song
can't you feel it in your thighs?
that warm dark feeling comin up
do not be alarmed too long
or hang your feelings on a song
knock me up she said it's fine
to make life happen on a dime
dare the dudes down in the ice rink
the upstairs basement stays so clean
an island waits when winter's laughing
to walk a meal off in a thong
do not be alarmed too long
or hang your feelings on a song
knock me up she said it's fine
to make life happen on a dime

never rakin up the past and celebrating every craze
hey i elect love to keep us us livin while we're dying
skeletons and several sagging ladies on the #8
hey i know enough to stay out of the graveyard
who keeps on talkin bout dead relatives?
and you done a whole lotta talkin
at home i'm finding sickles
gaping nothing but afraid
ways around to get us over when we're lying
distract your mind and keep your time and never let it get away
hey that's love
ways to keep us from the grave
