Chester Street

One drink tonight
A cocktail between your legs, honey
Gonna burn my soul
Crack Pot
That pipe head's burning it down, getting on my last good vein
Gonna burn thy soul
Chester Street is gonna burn tonight
One trip tonight
A cap well-prepared to find all the thoughts that you're having
Gonna feel that sight
Left Half
That side's been snoring aloud, gonna bring that back to life
Gonna heal that site
Chester Street is gonna burn tonight

Closer to Water
03:57

Closer to water
But further from home
White skin you're making me cross
With your pig-headed love
And your nicotine boss
Too sick for the movies
But too sweet for the show
White skin, tell me what do you know?
Closer to water
But further from home
White skin you're making me cross
Four pictures of Ludwig
Engraved and embossed
The canvas is tattered
But you still know it's there
Right now tell me, why should I care
Closer to water
But further from home

Amassed Complications
02:34

"Walk a little closer," she said
Underneath her breath
"Everything will be okay
Everything, " she said
But I don't think she can take that chance
There's been a lot of complications
Have been amassed through this romance
And I don't think we can take that chance
"Always keep your chin up," she said
Then slapped it to the left
"Everything is for the best"
Then slapped it to the left
But I don't think she can take that chance
There's been a lot of complications
Have been amassed through this romance
And I don't think we can take that chance
No I don't think she can take that chance
There's been a lot of complications
Have been amassed through this romance
And I don't think we can take that chance

Clock All Day

Alone on a winter's night
Will you take me home?
Cause I'm done. Yeah, I'm out of here
I want to be alone
What I want to know is why
You would leave me here all night
So I took a break, and I stepped outside
Looking at the moon. But it's leaving me
With everything I know
I'll be in darkness soon
What I really need is a guiding light
To lead me through my days
But it isn't there, and I'm on my own
Stumbling through the haze
Open up your eyes
We're staring at the clock all day
Waiting for anything we can think of
To come and take us away
Now it's us on a summer's day
Nothing's changed at all
Looking through the smoke and the dusty road
Waiting for the fall

Lie Awake
05:17
|
|||
And I know
With your head upon my chest
There is nothing more
Nothing more a man could ask for
Nothing more
And I know
And I know
I've been searching for a while
Time to grow
Find someone to make me smile
Someone I know I can count on
And on
On and on
Lie awake in my bed

Blue Tomorrow
03:19
|
|||
Looking though some old boxes
I came across my first birthday
The whiskey current is smashing me
Against rocky shores and I can't breathe
Found the present and opened it up
An inverted bull's eye, just my luck
I don't mind the dust it brings
I just need some oxygen to breathe
Toward blue tomorrow in my arms
Just follow me it's not too far
And I've got you in my heart
Toward blue tomorrow in my arms
Filling out some damn survey
I think they stole my tape collection
I saw a girl drive a car inside
The lobby of a hotel on the Lower East Side
Counting people and counting lofts
Now I'm fairly certain I was ripped off
She only wants to be understood
It never turns out easy as it should

The Astronaut Song
02:50
|

I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I saw it all on an snl rerun
It's kind of sad that I missed out on all the fun
I had some questions, like how was his libido?
And did you do it when the gravity was zero?
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
You told me that he's not your type of guy
But how do I know that's not just another lie?
If you could lie when you were living on a spaceship
Then heaven knows what else could come across your lips
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
Nah, Nah, Space Boy
Nah, Nah, Space Boy
Nah, Nah, Space Boy
There's nothing to discuss
I think it's all been covered
And while it lasted it was fun to be your lover
I hope you're glad
You joined the thousand mile high club
And maybe one day I will see you in the pub
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut
I had a dream you were living with an astronaut

Shatter Today
02:59
|
|||
Overgrown
And the tide rushes in
Overgrown
And the tide rushes in
It's all I've known
It's your description of sin
It's hard to stop now
That's just the way that it's been
All I wanted was you
Every night just you
Further gone
Further carried away
Further gone now
And it's leaving to stay
Life is all
That's left to shatter today
I'm prepared now
But let's not get carried away
All I wanted was you
Every night just you
I'm alone with my murderer, everything is easier
Alone with my murderer, motives are clear
I'm alone with my murder, never have been lonelier
Alone with my murderer. Alone.

Cactus

Four years
I wanna go
Out with you
It's so cold
Gowanus Canal
In concrete boots
You've been warned
This is what you get
When you mess with us
You fucked up
Spout shit
Violate our trust
Bad news
Just heard
Worn out used up two-thirds
One flock
The rest are just
Dying birds
The cactus tree
The cactus me
It pricks my hand and wants to bleed
A short trip
Van Brunt's okay
To the water front
Some blown glass
Some carved wood
Gonna have some fun
A small shop
Petit caf
And a drink with you
A quick game
Afternoon delight
And a smoke with you
Bad news
Just heard
Worn out used up two-thirds
One flock
The rest are just
Dying birds
The cactus tree
The cactus me
It pricks my hand and wants to bleed
The cactus tree

Traveling
04:46

Casting away nearly daily I thought about why
Brief conversations and glances and all just to try
And you want the door to let you in
Over the last time I saw you she couldn't begin
Traveling
Naked with Emily
Traveling
She knows the enemy
Traveling
Can lead to such awkwardness
Traveling
But we can get over this
Leaving the place that we came from and leaving it dry
Over and under and breaking a way to the sky
And you want the door to let you in
Over the last time I saw you she couldn't begin
Traveling
Naked with Emily
Traveling
She knows the enemy
Traveling
Can lead to such awkwardness
Traveling
But we can get over this
You lost the way to find the door
Traveling
Naked with Emily
Traveling
She knows the enemy
Traveling
Can lead to such awkwardness
Traveling
But we can get over this

Big Yellow
03:58
|
|||
We were drinking Taster's Choice
Fast approaching early death
You looked up, put down your mug
Have we died yet?
I must apologize
I must apologize
I must apoloize
For the stain on Big Yellow
We closed our eyes
To feel the moment
You said you were tired
I was spent
I must apologize
I must apologize
I must apoloize
For the stain on Big Yellow
We have discoloration
We walked in took off our coats
Soaked to the bone
Looked around your apartment
I think we're alone
I must apologize
I must apologize
I must apoloize
For the stain on Big Yellow
I must apologize
I must apologize
I must apoloize
For the stain on Big Yellow
