Trimming the fat Changing your shoes Color your hair Playing to lose Open the hatch And see what’s inside Riches and dollars and diamonds and rubies All in your mind Wipe up that blood Show me a smile Take off your clothes Stay for a while The others in line Have nothing on you The patience, the honor, the leftover dinner The things that we do Don’t stop moving now You’ve got me on the right wavelength So take it slow Don’t undo me now You’ve got me in the palm, to stay I’ll change my ways for you

Wet Leaves 03:32
Run, run, run, run, run on broken glass I hold on, this, too, shall pass Do you shy from the light to find the shade? Do you go home that way? The leaves were hung to dry today My open arms were lead astray The leaves were hung to dry today Search and you may find some peace of mind You grow strong, in your own time Do you have what it takes to be a human? Do you have what it takes to be a human? The leaves were hung to dry today My open arms were lead astray The leaves were hung to dry today The leaves were hung to dry today My open arms were lead astray My hair is falling out in droves I think I meant it but I don’t know Let’s take a bath to wash it off I made a soup of leaves and broth This home is sacred, stay the night

Lucky Dog 03:32
You are a lucky dog And it’s your lucky day Now you’re one with the fog Made a home out of clay I drink to love and the moments that never last Watched from above by our futures and our past You are a lucky dog And it’s your lucky day Saw a face I could keep In a crowd on a train Nameless and homeless Our mouths can light up a room Pass me the matches, I’m ready and willing to bloom I find it rather strange I haven’t met your wife Did no one ever teach you it’s not nice to lick the knife? I heard that you are serving the foods that I don’t eat I’ll watch your celebration from the street The neighbors are concerned that something isn’t right Did no one ever teach us it’s not nice to lick the knife? The beautiful gazebo is swallowed up in vines We’re asking for forgiveness all the time Kneeling in the open air Cave in, my hesitation Kneeling in the open air Cave in, my hesitation Kneeling in the open air Cave in, my hesitation

Echo Mano 03:28
You are my best disguise I want to bring you flowers and dress you up I’m stronger than an ant tonight The moon is like a white balloon Echo Echo L-I-V-E Mano Mano R-E-A-D Echo Echo L-I-V-E Mano Mano R-E-A-D The birthmarks on your chest are changing colors That’s how I know you’re real Your teardrops are perfume to me We rearrange we reappear Fold into my slumber Steady beating You’ve got it all Printed on an orchid Left in water Left to dry

När himlen lyser rosa har skorna tagits av Kinderna är varma men asfalten är sval Du sa att jag var vacker och jag vet att det var sant För lögnerna är ingenting för oss Jag har ett öknamn som gör kroppen stel Jag har ett smeknamn som är mjukt och lent Av alla mina minnen vill jag alltid se på dig För du har varit solen och månen Allting är som vanligt Allting är som vanligt Allting är som vanligt Allting är som vanligt Det snöar tyst i mörkret, håll om mig så det känns Tunga stenar sjunker, de som väger allra mest Det brinner bortom bergen, en brand som aldrig släcks Vi ska aldrig längta till varandra Allting är som vanligt Allting är som vanligt Allting är som vanligt Allting är som vanligt

Amore 04:24
Lean in closer now, baby Rather heavy as I brush you off my feet Now I’m missing you Seen this many times before I could swear I heard you laughing As you melted into liquid on the floor I cook, while you sleep A meal for one or two Slide into my motion, moving faster, fall behind Lay your hands on me, I won’t mind Crush the grapes and pour me over At the motel where the bedrooms are passé A sting does us good The burn will go away When you dance I like to watch you ‘Cause you move like no one else I’ve ever seen Your turns, turn me on I’m mumbling in my dreams Slide into my motion, moving faster, fall behind Lay your hands on me, I won’t mind Slide into my motion, moving faster, fall behind Lay your hands on me, I won’t mind
7.
Juvenile 02:52
Send me a letter from your bed at summer camp Shaving your legs, it will never come again Innocence is all gone Picked them all but left one Gather your things, do it fast The money didn’t last Run for the hills, there are eyes in the moss Snake in a bucket, clothes in the wash Saddle up and exhale Heavy as a new day Butter or sin, trade it in I love to see you spin Hand-me-down shoes and a tear in your shirt Head full of cotton, mouth full of dirt Sleep makes you nervous Stories you heard of Others are in, why not you? The old, the now, the new Childhood, believe me The rest is up to you They’ll all be waiting when you come Sign here, you need to You never had a choice The same together and alone

I was a lonely child 
Licking my wounds under the pale moon You were a hungry fool
 Trading your money for pebbles and breadcrumbs Then when the thunder came from down under, We yelled out your name Sure you miss me so Homesick lover Homesick lover Better not to know
 Skipping along, slipping on stones 
It’s all too bright for me
 The smell on my fingers it brings me right back And then I grew unsure the gold in me was real at all The heavy-handed seemed to point a different way An echo, a shout, fell out of my mouth and into your ear No one quite like you Homesick lover

Atmosphere 04:04
Walk in silence Don't walk away in silence See the danger, always danger Endless talking, life rebuilding Walk in silence Don't turn away in silence Your confusion, my illusion Worn like a mask of self-hate Confronts and then dies Don't walk away People like you find it easy Naked to see, walking on air Hunting by the rivers, through the streets Every corner abandoned too soon Set down with due care Don't walk away in silence Don't walk away in silence
