Living Sideways For all the things you fucking do Acting like you never knew You're see-through, when held up to the light A rich kid and his silver spoon Barking out a tired old tune Confident that his life will turn out right How do you live, how do you live sideways? How do you live, how do you live sideways? Why do you think, why do you think sideways? Why do you think, why do you think sideways? When you fall asleep at night Bathed in your self-righteous light Does a tickle of doubt ever nag at you? Or do you dip your privileged head Secure there in your downy bed Dreaming dreams of joyous might makes right? How do you live, how do you live sideways? How do you live, how do you live sideways? Why do you think, why do you think sideways? Why do you think, why do you think sideways?

Ghost Bikes Ride Yes, I'm a faggot but doesn't define me Yes, I make music, some people like it Yes, I've been in love--over and over and over again No, I'm not finished, not by fucking half We might not make it x2 Yes, the world is shitty but at least I'm trying Yes, sometimes it seems so very hopeless Yes, I'll be there whenever you need me No, I'm not finished, not by fucking half We might not make it x4 Ghost bikes on every corner! x4 We might not make it x2 We might not make it home

Claudius the God The frowning fates will make us pay We stutterers and frauds who say That men become Gods by mere acclaim The Heaven and Earth are all the same You say we're witless and weak and just in the way But the meek will make of your a bones--a temple On this blessed day Grandfather gray forgive my cheek And gift me now the words I seek To budge such minds now cast in stone To warm the hands of those that fight alone You say we're witless and weak and just in the way But the meek will make of your bones--a temple On this blessed day

Don't Even 01:45
Don't Even Don't even say--that you like it that way Don't even talk--if you can't walk the walk I'm shutting you out--every word you say I'm shutting it down--not gonna play today Disconnect--you can tempt me all you want Disconnect--and I'm just not gonna fake it Just not gonna fake it Just not gonna fake it Just not gonna fake Don't even think--or do you even think? You're the pause between--a nod and a wink I'm shutting you out--every word you say I'm shutting it down--not gonna play today Disconnect--you can tempt me all you want Disconnect--and I'm just not gonna fake it Just not gonna fake it Just not gonna fake it Just not gonna fake it--right?

Song For R. Buckminster Fuller Don't fight forces--you've gotta use them Man made God in his own image true While punishing the world as egotists do Tiring work--greedy work Don't fight forces--you've gotta use them Dymaxion mind 'neath the polar stars Upends the equation, sees things as they are Tiring work Endless work Don't fight forces--you've gotta use them God is verb--not a noun

Reverse Bear Trap I can see you with your hands out A ship abandoned to the coming storm Black blood is leaking cells are speaking As they plummet to the hungry waves I can see you falling backwards Frozen fleeing through the wasted years Into nothing, such precious nothing This pool of painless is bereft of tears Can you see me, lighting fires now A tiny signal on the distant shore? It's threshold burning, the world is turning To drown itself in the nameless dark I can see you falling backwards Frozen fleeing through the wasted years Into nothing, such precious nothing This pool of painless is bereft of tears Rain down sound

Oh Well 01:48
Oh Well One of billions Spawning towards the sky More each moment Nowhere left to hide Oh well Face the human tide Arms open wide Face the human tide No one left alive Mindless masses A tidal wave of flesh Hate your species A weight around your neck Oh well Face the human tide Arms open wide Face the human tide No one left alive

(I Don't Wanna Die in) Carbondale Beer in hand I walk the streets Down beneath the trees Could I call this place my home? Something's telling me Something's telling me.... I don't wanna die in Carbondale I don't wanna die in Carbondale I don't wanna die in Carbondale Buried beneath the Lost Cross Big city life can twist your head Make it heard to breathe But no matter just how bad it gets Something's telling me Something's telling me... I don't wanna die in Carbondale I don't wanna die in Carbondale I don't wanna die in Carbondale Buried beneath the Lost Cross

Hey There, Ivan! Well, the cowboy, he rides hard Through a wasteland, and he loves it But as the cancer eats his lungs Through the restless in his soul He thinks... Hey there, Ivan You'd better come back to stay 'Cause when I look into your eyes It seems like yesterday Well, the cowboy is not real He's an archetype that should be put to sleep But as the cancer eats his lungs He fingers his three-piece suit And says... Hey there, Ivan You'd better come back to stay 'Cause when I look into your eyes It seems like yesterday

Run Faster 02:20
Run Faster There's a chill in the air And the crowds they seethe With their vacant stare But there's strength in the work It's a job you'll never shirk Always at the end of your rope Always at the end of your rope But you don't care You don't care There's a way to begin When your grip is slack And the tires spin But there's strength in the work It's a job you'll never shirk Always at the end of your rope Always at the end of your rope But you don't care You don't care Summer days are gone But there's still time left

Two Black Dogs I'm writing this letter-- This missive, unfettered By conscience, or purpose Those things men hold worthless We fight the dying of the light Fight The dimming of our sight Two black dogs with eyes bright Move silent through deep night They'll run hard 'til day breaks Then sleep hard as the world wakes They fight the dying of the light Fight The dimming of their sight

Make You Scared Keep You Scared I’ve got a TV It doesn’t trust me It makes my head hurt But that’s alright We watch you while you’re sleeping I see the world spin Out of my control It makes my mouth dry But that’s all right First they make you scared Then they keep you scared I’ll keep my mouth shut But that’s all right We watch you while you’re sleeping Keep your head down I hear The Big One’s coming Keep your head down I hear The Big One’s coming
