I'm Cured

A ballerina on a fire escape
So gracefully enters the pearly gates
You are a lucky one
Untied to these earthly bonds
The orchestral pit under the heavy lights
Where the oboes sit an apple lands tonight
You are a lucky one
Untied to these earthly bonds
On a serving tray flavored with crème de menthe
You eat a bad sorbet, you don't have time to sit
You are a lucky one
Untied to these earthly bonds
But when my morning comes
I'll gather all my hopes
When I see a couple kiss
I pray to God they choke
And in a diver's bell
Noting the lowest things
Above the storm played hell
And the boat had to leave
You are a lucky one
Untied to these earthly bonds
And I'll float away

Everyday I sit a wait
Oh my life is fine
You might die tonight
A bomb on a train
A snake in wait
Oh my life is fine
You don't get lucky twice
Oh my life is fine
You don't get lucky twice
A crowded stage
In a dress of white
Oh my life is fine
You are here tonight
You can't wait
To be by my side
Oh my life is fine
But tears are in your eyes
Oh my life is fine
But tears are in your eyes
Waiting there
In the dressing room
Oh my life is fine
You are here tonight
A patient ear
A patient eye
Oh my life is fine
We might get lucky twice
Oh my life is fine
We might get lucky twice

I Missed It
04:48
|

Asleep in the daylight
Awake in the moonlight
Cursed by a half light
And left alone
A town full of galleries
Passionless since the time
I reached out for a sure thing
And left alone
Carry this message in your heart
It'll listen now
Ooh, I missed it
You'll be rocking your baby
And when he leaves
You'll missing your baby
And you'll be alone
The tree is shady
It's a blanket in the making
The static from the carpet
Will shock my hands
Carry this message in your heart
It'll listen now
Ooh, I missed it

Florida St. Serenade
07:54
|

Deep in darkest memory
Outside the gates of heaven
Grew a tree so sugary
Our stomachs could not stand
The ground below was holocaust
The air above was thin
Out in some weird wandering
Across the tracks we went
Oh what a night to be alive
I will become the waves that you float upon
I will become the waves that you float upon
Will you become the air that I pull in deep when I sing?
Will you become the air that I pull in deep?
Oh what a night to be alive
Deep in recessed territory
Far from gated splendor
Open up your window
Open up to let
A breeze from drifting sparrow
As new as any scent
Braced by crackling energy
Hoping to forget
Oh what a night to be alive

The Pearl

I bought a ticket on an ocean liner
It's from the water that I'm writing you
I stopped drinking just to keep my head cool
I'm writing wishing you could do that too
If everything in the world is sorrow
What is this feeling that runs me through?
A feeling that if I met my maker
I'll walk right up in my brand new shoes
I bought a ticket from a travel agent
He had many things to say
Did you know that a single finger
Can kill a mile of coral reef?
He had a laugh that turned me white as a pearl now
He had a laugh and it scrubbed me clean
I'm not convince that he wasn't and angel
In cheap slacks confronting me
If everything in the world is sorrow
What is this feeling that runs me through?
A feeling that if I met my maker
I'll walk right up in my brand new shoes
If nothing turn out like we planned it
At least this side of the fence is clean
At least I left a security deposit
It keeps come back around you see?
Everything in the world's not sorrow
There's a feeling that runs me through
A feeling that if I met my maker
I'll walk right up in my brand new shoes

Stay here now and forever
Count a decide of passing years
There's nothing here to hold on to
A series of hurdles, unending fears
Break through the clouds and there is light
If you can catch the wind and fly into the sky
Feel free to spread your wings and leave the yard
I know if you could run that you would travel far
There you are, fast asleep
Go wake yourself, get on you feet

Black out the shades of the window and hide
Burn all the cash in your mattress, it'll be alright
When you bury your guns in the snow
You bury your luck in the snow
Don't believe in favors that are free
Don't believe in kindness you can't see
Pull out the phone from the wall
Knock out the lights in the hall
When you bury your guns in the snow
You bury your luck in the snow
Don't believe in favors that are free
Don't believe in kindness you can't see
Bury your dust in the snow
