I know I rode the atom bomb
even if it was a movie scene
I wrung my hands a bit too long
do they know what I mean
do they know what I mean
These paintings made from a tv show
and the canvas of a magazine
and a brush from where the money grows
do they know what I mean
do they know what I mean
Lets all get bored
and make some new sound
lets all get bored
and make some new sound
please, some new sound
please, some new sound
I bought myself a bouncing ball
Just to parse out the old routine
and to try and watch the letters fall
do they know what I mean
do they know what I mean
Check my hands, find I'm becoming tough
getting burned keeping the kitchen clean
disappointed in a friend I love
do they know what I mean
do they know what I mean
Lets all get bored
and make some new sound
lets all get bored
and make some new sound
please, some new sound
please, some new sound
please, some new sound
please, some new sound

You know you don't have to go
I wish I could stay
Why don't you just get a life?
Two roads in your way
Busting all my favorite toys
Two blocks from the bay
Why can't I just get a life?
Two rooks in my way
And if it's raining we can't take the bus
It's not like you to get bored of us
Counting the pizzas and how many times that Keith said
He's eaten the pieces of 31 kinds of cheeses
Making all my favorite noise
Making minimum wage
I live for the Reef at night
Cheap rent we don't pay
Ghost train downtown out of sight
Railroads float away
Whose band wears the hat tonight?
I wanna hear them play
I moved my feet and I lost the one
I'll rely on you to jump the gun
Counting the people
Faceless, fading, real
That's how we deal
No matter how many more games of chess we're still a mess

Why do I scrape away the holidays at the beginning of October?
I'll have to set my ladder back up in a couple of weeks
And paint it all over again
But I'd do that for you, when's the next time you're passing through?
I'll tell you my favorite restaurants if you let me in on all your jokes
That's the best one that I've heard this week
That's more people than I've seen this year
I'm the mayor of this town. At least that's what I tell everyone,
but I like you more
You should come out to the farm, ride any horse you'd like
Take the boat out on the water
I guess there are no lakes or ponds nearby, but you could watch it on the TV
or just marry my daughter, have any shelf in the fridge you'd like
I would do that for you, when's the next time you're passing through?

Why do I drink coffee
For some bright jubilation just before a dark depression
Am I sworn to bitter shrugs?
Top of the morning! Bottom of the mug
Every car in town's decals display some green position
Is it real or is it fiction
In combustion engine dreams?
We drove around Mt. Desert Island
From a distance we come to terms with
lightly treading on a moral grounding
We never really could please everybody, sure
We just wanted to be pure and have one foot in the door of common sense
before we come to the consensus that the world is burning
Born into a fortune of the white room with the hard floors
and the millions there before us
who were locked out of that door
It's the margin that they're marching for
Now we're paying taxes for a war that never settles
it's the hell of every battle
that my bloody dollar finds
You're worth no less, we still wish you all the best
From an angle, the ground doesn't shake
the windows never burst on someone's curly headed child I'll read about
but now the sun is going down, and my good side's coming out
I think I'll take the picture now before I lose the light
and later think about how someone's world is burning

I saw the ghost of Moses Asch
Holding a microphone and a wad of cash
Telling me he cut me a record deal
If I showed him the bus that would take him back
to 1973, beautiful New York City
to plant a silver maple tree
And I bet he would say his life is over
I saw Marian in the flesh
She's clear as sea, sky, stars, sun and cigarette
Telling me she'd throw me a dime if I help her
Climb the mountain of regret
That starts there at her feet
and looks over the Atlantic
But now her lungs are weak
And I bet she would say her work is over

Sick With Me

I don't want to get a job
I don't want to go out side
I'd rather stay right here and watch you cry
make you smile,
watch you cry, watch you cry
I don't like to see your friends
I can't stand to make 'em laugh
I'll just pour some coffee, you drink half
I'll drink the other half, the other half
Unhealthy it may be
won't you stay sick with me
Let's not go out tonight
they won't mind if we don't show
let's get on the roof and wait for it to snow
it never snows, it'll never snow, never snow
When you find what you're looking for
I hope that it's not very far
because I like things just the way they are
just they way they are, just the way they are
Selfish it may seem
Stay here with me in this dream
Unhealthy it may be
won't you stay sick with me

(Evil!)
Try to say what's on your mind
Even if you're broken-hearted
You can drink that bottle dry
But whose eyes are staring back at you?
I know I should have
(I want you)
Stayed away
(But still I go)
It gets so hard
(I want you)
To make it so, intelligent as you are
Try to say what's on your mind
Or go back from where you started
But you're childhood's far behind
And you're drinking the future you spit out tomorrow

Is it any inconvenience to you
to know all the things that you know in that way
when you're in a normal conversation do you
have any notion of what to say
I leave you on while I'm going to sleep,
I turn the videos on autoplay
there's something comforting about the fact
I won't remember the things that you say
But it's also lonely with no one here
and maybe sleep isn't worth any time
It's a little easier letting go
with someone talking over my mind
someone talking over my mind
And then you're there when I wake up, wake up
And then you're there when I wake up, wake up
And then you're there when I wake up, wake up
And then you're there when I wake up, wake up
And then you're there when I wake up, wake up
And then you're there when I wake up, wake up

Baby rides around the yard
She knows not to dance in the garage without her socks on
And lately, I want to leave but I can't travel very far
Now I know how Luna feels when I throw her in the car
When we're gone the music's on
So I see myself through old forgotten windows
Did I imagine your love to be soft as a pillow?
Lie down beside the one that holds my heart and anchors
Baby loves to hear my songs
Seven years under my feet and inside my arms
And lately, she likes to sing but she's still scared of the guitar
I don't know how Luna deals with every inanimate scar
When we're gone the music's on
So I see myself through old forgotten windows
Did I imagine your love to be soft as a pillow?
Lie down beside the one that holds my heart and anchors

Through the park, Janie goes walking
Just after dark, a streetlight apparition
She's in charge, she keeps her shadow at a distance
She hits her mark that she never dreamed of missing
She plays her part, always reminiscing
It's gone too far, now she's getting tired
I can't wait until it snows
How far am I prepared to go?

He arrives
late as always
He arrives
late as always
with windswept grin
keeps me where I've been
and a book of poems
keeps me from getting thin
They took the streets
early in the day
they took the streets
early in the day
they won some award
I don't know what for
They took my money
But I am not poor
He arrives
early as always
He arrives
early as always

Far away feeling that starts in your eyes
Missing my mark, tied to the arrow
So California's as small as we thought
We'll buy a van, still sleep in a meadow
Selling our records a dollar a pop
A friend on the coast, a pillow to drop
The smell of ocean in an old canoe
I spilled my coffee in a dirty room
Death is polishing a new-spit-tune
And the life of the party's out the door too soon
Holding my breath and forgetting the line
When you're not here, I'm playing those old songs
Breaking our backs just to make it on time
And if we get lost, we'll follow some dirt roads
Back to the first house before we had left, talking instead and imagining when
The smell of ocean in an old canoe
I spilled my coffee in a dirty room
Death is polishing a new-spit-tune
And the life of the party's out the door too soon

You fell asleep in the car
I put Tom Jobim on
Why can't I sing like her?
Oh god, I could have done better
Loon calls on Crystal Island
Meteors and lightening bugs
In memory I do pretend
To mix those together
We couldn't start a fire
Meals left more to desire
I sang your song for you
In the tent, we played out the weather
Wind-swept Lake Michigan
Twelve hours and back again
Another map to draw for me
At the end of the Summer
