Desert

I've been walking for miles through the dry, desert heat, and I've got nothing to eat. And no one to meet, no soles beneath. And I can't see how far I still have to go. And the walking is slow, and our spirits are low.
If I die here, then no one will know (no, no one will know). And no one will care after I go in the ice, cold snow. If I die here...
I've been walking for miles through the dry, desert heat. I've got no one to meet. The sand burns my feet, but I can't take a seat.
And when I'm done exploring it all, you won't even call, because you've seen it too.

Avalanche

Caught the sun walking through a pumpkin patch. My eyes turned to slush, big avalanche. Like a petal on a mountain won't expect a bee, I'm just a bird in a nest in a tree in the ground in the forest on the land on the sea-flooded planet, spiral armed galaxy. It feels like it's all falling down on me.
And we will fall through our lives like the snow in Nepal. And we will fall when the heart says, "Good luck with it all." Maybe we can beat the life into him. On and on, on and on, forever and ever, and ever, and ever, and never with a second chance: avalanche!

Get Away From Me
02:27
|

I will be OK. The poison's wearing off, and the pain has gone away. You loosened up the grip on my neck, and let me go. I've been walking to and fro. I've been wondering about the girl who took it all and let it go.
Vampire bats fly above us. Get away from me. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Get away from me. Lights out in the cold city. Get away from me. Wolves howl at the babysitter. Get away from me. Frankenstein's monster is on the prowl . She's gonna knock off your crown. I never really had feelings for you.

Be honest, you broke a promise. You trampled on something that was totally harmless, and now (on the quiet remains) you're fanning the flames in my eyelids.
Nothing is sure-fire.
Be honest, you're burning my forest. You stepped into my space and spoiled my harvest. And now (on the shitty remains) you're staking your claims in my garden.

Half Happy, Half Sad
02:08

I've never been more happy and more sad at the same time. No, that's a lame rhyme, and it's not true. Things are just nicer when I'm with you. Now I feel like I'm caught in a loop. And it's no good. When will I see you? Can we build a cloud and then ride it away?
I never thought that I would get away, but we made it, and we're here today. I never thought that heaven would feel this way, like a lazy river, you can float all day. And when I love you, it's like a ladder: all the limits seem to run away.

Whiskey tango foxtrot. I guess you got what you want, but had you chewed on my heart I would have let you eat it all, and together we could fall. And I don't know what the hell you're talking about. And I don't know what the hell you're asking for.
Whiskey tango foxtrot. I wish you had fucked my heart. When you had the pick of the lot, I guess you chose just what you got.

I don't think I'm coming back this time. My train has arrived at the end of its line. And I send my best to the choir, because I'm stepping into the fire. I don't think I'm coming back this time. My train has arrived at the end of its line.
One and one, and one and one, and one and one, is one. We counted up all the stars, and moons, and all the suns. We added up all the different songs that you had sung. We tallied all your character, but still was not enough

Maybe I hate you. Maybe I'll love you tomorrow. Maybe I miss you. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow. Rain or shine, or any other time, darling. I'll come around, if I'm in town, darling.
Maybe you meant it, and I just resented the taste of the truth. Maybe you ought to remind me of you. From time to time, I forget where I came from. Where I went to is no where special, now my going's over-due.
