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
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
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
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
