home, everybody wants to go home
even when they're old
even when they're small

Starfire
We'll call it Starfire, who will know?
I want a station of my own
I have the tools
I have my rules

I'll load the back and you can drive
Broken bodies all the time
Let's take a ride
Starfire tonight
Ten thousand miles away
away

La la la la la la la la...

-

No Need
I don't need the lot
I don't need a lot of things
I don't need the past
I don't need a lot of things

I don't need your smile
I don't need a lot of things
I don't need my eyes
I don't need a lot of things

-

Weight of Water
take a cupful from your hand
wait for forty days
make a river through the sand
til you're called by a secret name
and the weight of the water has brought me back to this
just leave me to the river
let it cleanse my face
i have no power to ward it
like the baptism of the earth
and the weight of the water has brought me back to this
and the step where you stood
as i bleed from the wound
how i cower to that weight
still i'll make this water home

-

Immune
Tell me is the time as slow
only when your eyes are closed?
Do we stand to waste some more?
am I still immune?
am I naked too?

Does it taste like home
only when your eyes are closed?
Have you been away too long?
am I still immune?
am I naked too?
am I naked too?

Tell me is the time as slow
only when your eyes are closed?
Is the point to stay too long?
am I still immune?
am I naked too?
am I naked too?
feels like being used

-

Rope
you're gonna need more

don't ask me to kick any chairs out from under you

-

Two-Step
And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand

It's not that hard
It is not that hard

That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call

Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white

That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call

And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand

-

Violence
lent you my favorite dictionary
came back with ripped out pages
stopped by so uninvited
wasted good silverware on you

you can't trust violence

-

Blue Christmas
by Hayes / Johnson

-

Over the Ocean
I'm over the ocean
over the hills, over the dell
over the fireline
over the sand, over the plan
over the empire
and if I belong, then I'll be longer than expected
and if I'm wrong, the mighty and strong will be rejected

-

Hey Chicago
hey chicago
hey chicago
hey chicago: i'm leaving.
hey -- that's what you get for stealing.

-

Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc will never save you now
But then Joan of Arc never promised much

She never knew your name, love
She never knew your name, oh
Such a precious hand
Such a guilty hand, oh

Joan of Arc will never save you now
But then Joan of Arc never promised much
Joan of Arc will never save you now
But then Joan of Arc never promised much

Ooh...

-

Soon
soon it will be over
i laughed under my breath over your shoulder
there's a message out tonight
nobody's looking at the sky
soon it will be over
i laughed under my breath over your shoulder
you think that i don't know your name
and now your face is all in flames
you think that i don't know your name
and now i'll stand there all amazed

-

I Remember
i remember every number
i remember graduation
i remember painted faces
no they couldn't believe it was you
i knew

-

Lazy
it's not enough
there's not enough for two
Sarah you're lazy

she says it's not enough for two
Sarah you're lazy

-

Will the Night
will the night last forever?
stay by my side
'cause tonight, together
would be divine
but once it's gone
your face to hide
against the sun
the moon
am I on the other side
so blind
so long
goodbye
goodnight
