Everything that Beverly does she does it in the summer She listens to her records in the queue Everything she does is leathery doves And seeing it through She will see it through for you Everything that beverly does she does it in the rain And she don't listen to nobody like you Everything she does is leathery doves And I love you's Got so many arms to hold me Could it really be Could it be love Everything that everybody knows has always been true Except for that little bit about you But Beverly does as Beverly says And I think that's cool She will make a fool of you and you

Keep U Mine 02:51
Heart like a drum full of sapphires of shadowy blue It grins like an ace in the hole as it beats for you I hear your big red boots as you move As you crash up the stairs You move like a devil, a conjurer, a billionaire I've got to keep u mine Open my big black door and step into the light Your fiery frame like a twisted star in the night

Oh you dog, you can bray, you can howl The misty moon's coming up Siren songs are fleeting Teeth grow dull Answers ask the questions you already know I think you already know, man When the lie takes form A fine rift in your mind now, honey You'll be reborn Everything that's happened already happened to you Careful creeping around eyes so hollow They want you to beg They want you to swallow Siren songs of beauty, keeping time So fine and tasting of sweet wine I think you already know, man When the lie takes form You can swim in the tides now, honey You'll be reborn

My name is water and I can't keep to myself I just can't keep to myself not anymore And my faith is watery so slipping down a shelf It is based upon a cloud as it is pure A man about the empire is busy stepping out He is mystified He is dreaming of the sea Curious and wonder-faced at what has come about He is drenched He has just met me I see you And I am everybody I know you As a blizzard knows the breeze In the face of brotherhood I spit and kiss alike Finding face in places I have always been And anyway I know I should steal everything I like But your heart is the worst I've ever seen I see you And I am everybody I know you As a river knows the stream My name is nothing and I can't keep to myself I just can't keep to myself I'm at the door My faith is watery so slipping down a shelf It is based upon a cloud as it is pure

Truly Yours 04:46
They call her Mr. Midnight. I'm looking for her blue eyes. Behold something so lovely. To love that thing is easy, But to hold it is a trick. Sometimes I feel I got nothing left, I drink in the street and break my glass. To hold her hand, I'd walk on it. To hold her hand, I'd walk a mile of broken glass. To hold her hand.. Because she rocks my soul. She set my soul on fire. My world's ready to burn, It's like a funeral pyre. She see's through me. It's a blessed thing. She reads my mind, And makes me sing. I saw her float In the sweet moonshine. Oh so fine. So fine. And bells will ring Somewhere in your mind. To be truly yours, This is truly yours... God threw away The worst designs. He gathered up time And made you fine. God threw away The worst designs. He took his time And made you fine. Fine.

Caroline 02:56
Caroline, the world was not made for you Now all of the girls and the boys they feel like saving you Caroline, your tears are the saddest thing Now when will we get to see you smile? You want to get away I don't blame you now You said you're getting out But I'll see you tomorrow, anyway Caroline, now where do you think you'll go You wait around for someone to tell you, you'll never know Caroline, you'll die of a broken heart Now when will we get to see you smile?

Nothing 03:34
When I was an angry man I swam in angry seas When I was in anger she'd still follow me But now I'm in the kitchen And I'm smiling at the street Hoping some of that angry dust will swallow me That begging life appeals to me Them quarters on the trees Digging from the bathroom sink will always be... Diming at the drugstore the day of halloween Grinding on the beach wood floor You know it just brings me down I wanna tell ya Nothing in this world can stop me from thinking about ya When I was an angry man I swam in angry sea

Sailor 05:17
I'll rent myself a car And smash it into a wall. Cuz baby, I don't care. I don't care at all. I know I wanna be a sailor, But the sea makes me so sick, So i'll sit drunk in a ditch And feel like it. Well it's funny how they say it's funny how When it wasn't really funny at all. The cap of your pen's all gnarled. And your face against the wall. The rain's comin' down now. And my daddy said it might stay long, 'Cuz when the sky's all red at dawn, They say sailor take warn. Well it's funny how they say it's funny how, When it wasn't really funny at all. The cap of your pen's all gnarled. And your face against the wall. Gogs barkin' stranger, So it opens my weepin' eyes. I see the ships take sail To that red sunrise. Well they say the sun doesn't go up. It's just the system breakin' down. So i put myself in the water, And breath it down. Well I'm just trying to get home. Some way.

Place 03:15
When I awoke I found a different place And when I walked the mirror I saw a different face When were you gonna tell me When were you gonna let me know? When I awoke I found myself in a different place And when I awoke I fell in two When I saw your eyes I found my home again And when the feeling came I thought I had found my friend When did you decide you're gonna tell me When did you decide that I was wrong?
10.
All the stars in my silver hands you can have 'em You can have anything you want All the wind in my big white sails is like magic I just can't stand to see you go You stick around a while You might see Oh Olivia Oh yeah I'll meet you way up there tonight if you can handle it I'm just trying to get you high All that dirt in my red right hand now You can ask for it I just can't stand to see you go Oh Olivia Oh yeah
11.
Icicles 03:34
So you wanna get your car and drive Watching all the icicles fly You do all you can to get us very far away You and I could sit here getting high Might be a great idea Get your car and drive Watching all the icicles fly by You do all you can to get us oh so far away
12.
You waited around forever Just to love him for a day You spent your time together But he pushed your love away He threw your love away You think him a fool for leaving He said he couldn't stay You will find another lover Keep your love safe To keep your precious love safe But you don't understand He's not your man anymore Love dies young, as it goes When love dies young, it dies cold Love dies young, yes it does Love dies
13.
Dead Yet 02:36
You don't come around here anymore Your memory is starting to leave me When you walk out that door Your feet hit a watery shore You don't come around here anymore Your memory is starting to leave me When you walk out that door You're never gonna come here no more But I ain't dead yet Girl, I'm just tired Of you leaving
