Hooray For Shipwreck

All the sailors sailing
on the seas as dark as sin
and their shipwrecked lives
and their shipwrecked lives
And all the mermaids moving
on the bottom of the ocean floor
and their shipwrecked lives
and their shipwrecked lives
And all the dinosaurs dreaming
all those moments of their ancient past
and their shipwrecked lives
and their shipwrecked lives
We tried to set things right
but the pieces, oh the pieces
we had no strength to fight
And all those children sleeping
in those houses all painted red
and their shipwrecked lives
and their shipwrecked lives
And all the old men dancing
all their heartbeats fading fast
and their shipwrecked lives
and their shipwrecked lives
We tried to set things right
but the pieces, oh the pieces
we had no strength to fight

Your panic driven heartbeat
is a thief in bad clothes
while foghorns blow
knuckle white winners throw
all blankets to the floor
Inside the tables growing cold
the plates as bare and dry as bone
and outside the kitchen
our ears cupped to listen
Who stole that battered dress you wore
they did but they won't dance anymore
and through the door down the hallway
we heard the record start to play
Oh, oh, oh, oh

This house, house, this cursed house
was so dark, dark, it scared us out
now we sleep in the trees of our neigbor's yard
In its heart, heart, its frozen heart
where we slept, slept, like abandonded cars
were our dreams and our empty pockets
and the clothes that we wore
Now we wake up
to the ghosts of the families
who once lived there
but don't live there anymore
And they take us
and make us
wear their shoes, climb their stairs
Look in their mirrors
and see all their fears
and realize them as our own
In its heart, heart, its frozen heart
where we slept, slept, like abandonded cars
were our dreams and our empty pockets
and the clothes that we wore
In this house, house, this cursed house
was so dark, dark, it scared us out
now we sleep in the trees of our neigbor's yard

As Dry As Bone

Fields they have not grown
Plowed, planted and sown
Rain it hasn't come
The grounds as dry as bone

The farmer looked up from his work
to find that the world had stopped
the makers of his wrist watch had done it again
He pulled on his coat
the weather was so cold
his face was now worn and old
his eyes looked to the road
and he was gone
The sound made his eardrums ring
when he heard the voices sing
they sang in a chorus line
they listened and smiled all night
