"Quick"
On trail of deception you get around
On scent of deception you get around
You do Almighty
You got the money
Oh, you got a stepping stone
You get it quick
You’re having a bad time you get around

"Watch What They Say About You"
I have known the time for you in a suffered light
That you could fall for me
I won’t start for you, an innocent in time
Be here for sure for you away
Watch what they say about you
I won’t take the feels other bitches break
Thoughts hell and you had to go and tell you a soul
We are hanging here in rows
And rows and rows and rows and rows
Hallelujah

Who Are You, My Darling?

"Who Are You, My Darling?"
A crooked countess with certificate in her hand / You don't look too happy
She could take away all the oars / Why don't we pretend?
Please feel alive for me
Remember where we were
The fear, mention of living with you / Did the sights do the same things to you?
And you’re back instantly / No? Then it's just me
Auctioned, baby-split, exiled, and dethroned / Who are you, my darling?
Happy little skulls playing keep away/A far cry from what I've known
I’d rather opinion be wronger than cheated / I'd rather not stay any longer than needed
And I’m not leaving now / And I'm not needed now
So please just leave just get out
And let’s go on / And let's go home

“'Come home.'”
You found a grand solution
A grand solution to the home
You’ve taken frame of reference
And made your way and laughed and moaned
This is the revolution
This is the dreaming of the scorned
This is the revolution
This is disease that you have worn
You took the lie and rode it
You took the filth into the park
My door was always open
As long as I was in the dark
No hope

"Complications"
As far as you know
You stand there
Burdened
Your hands
You know
I wanted...
"I'm in demand
Sure, straight, and true
But I do this for you…"
With a look back in time
I see nothing but poorly dressed complications

"Fireman"
Caught you seated there
Conscience ceded there
The cops will see to that
Home is the very tome
You’ll burn in your home
“Are you happy?”
I found a fireman
In the countryside

Keep Them Off Me

"Keep Them Off Me"
It’s even worse than you have ever said
As oiled as the hinges in your head
“Boy!” in the room
Am I the only lunatic who can’t see the moon?
Keep them off me
This is some parade you have made
Every shill you’ve ever known in the shade
“Boy!” on the route
On the route

"A Kind And Gentle Men"
From the heart and from the farm
To the seas and to the arms
To the drink and to the teeth
To the snows and your bright beliefs
He was a kind and gentle man
As I am
For the milk and for the corn
For every day that you made warm
For every smile that you have saved
And for the sunshine on your grave
Close the door
Little ones will stay
Turn around
And you remain

Who Are You To Say?

"Who Are You To Say?"
They could have warned you about the gun at your head
About the size of the planets straight ahead
They could have told you about the things that you never could have seen
They could have told you how the river will become your mirror
With every sideways Fourth of July
Everyone erased, every sad advice
I was too clean I was too clean I was too clean
No one survives this side of the street
Who are you to say?
With every comment the writing’s on the floor
Tie it up to the furnace sewer creeping back on the floor
I was one too tall but one too torn
Keep me up keep me away keep me down on the floor
Talking to the bartender
Talking to the bones
When they come to carry me out
Mind the door

"Sidesteppers"
Sidestepper, the one that you performed
Sidestepper, the one that you became with
Reason, ah!
The reason!
Reason, ah!
The reasoning!
Sidestepper, the one that you’re responsible for
