We are--fur and teeth and complication
Hear us--skin and bone our medication
One word--see a brow that sweats and furrows
Take me to a room where the lines run straight
Take me to a room where the lines run straight
How are we to know when the work is done?
How are we to know when the work is done?
Golden--like our fathers always taught us
Tragic--mirror pure, all flash and surface
One thought--see a brow that sweats and furrows
Take me to a room where the lines run straight
Take me to a room where the lines run straight
How are we to know when the work is done?
How are we to know when the work is done?
Will I have a place in your bright new world?
Will I have a place in your bright new world?
How are we to know when the work is done?
How are we to know when the work is done?
The axe is coming
The axe is coming
The axe is coming
The axe is coming

Neither here nor under there
A bolt, a breeze, a cunning stare
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
Palomino
(bound and gagged)
Destroy the words that make the thing
Tear the wings, and blunt the sting
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
Palomino
A color, a beast, a ruin still standing
A color, a beast, a ruin still standing
A color, a beast, a ruin still standing
A color, a beast, a ruin still standing
(bound and gagged)
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves
The Devil laughed and gave you hooves

I saw a face in bending light
Whispered its name into the night
I saw a billion stars collide
These transverse vectors as their guide
I held the darkness in my hand
My lifetime for a grain of sand
Bright words they flew into the sun
All of their plots and plans undone
They raise us up, they raise us up, they raise us up
--they guide us down
Will you turn away? Will you turn away?
(Turn, turn, turn, turn)
We wake the cold, kinetic beat--we wake the sound
Will you turn away? Will you turn away?
(Turn, turn, turn, turn)
They raise us up, they raise us up, they raise us up
--they guide us down

The ocean came today
Sneaking past my room
Like the one that got away
The moon is fallen down
Broken into bits, the remnants of a ghosted town
The dog's in the yard with the manta rays
Yellow light, red light, gone for days
The dog's in the yard with the manta rays
Yellow light, red light, gone for days
Rifle's rusted shut
Threw it on the reef that was once my father's truck
Diamond sun, blue wave
Bleached bones fill this underwater cave
The dog's in the yard with the manta rays
Yellow light, red light, gone for days
The dog's in the yard with the manta rays
Yellow light, red light, gone for days
Yellow light, red light
Yellow light, red light
Yellow light, red light
Yellow light, red light
Gone

Dye my beard a fearsome, glowing blue
(Like the jackals do--Like the jackals do)
Raise your bows and loose, our aim is true
Hyaaa! Now wake us
Hyaaa! Then shake us
Hyaaa! Now wake us
Bend bend bend bend bend
Pointed greetings sent
Raise a glass to those who spend the night
(Like the jackals might--Like the jackals might)
Greasing wheels and fletching for the fight
Hyaaa! Now wake us
Hyaaa! Then shake us
Hyaaa! Now wake us
Bend bend bend bend bend
Pointed greetings sent
Hyaaa! Now wake us
Hyaaa! Then shake us
Hyaaa! Now wake us
