Across the palm of an October A hurricane behind the wheel I drove a nail into a coffin You wouldn’t let me shut the seal A miracle or just a sunrise? How is the glass always half full? I’ll take the code and recompile Trying to learn to bend the rules But all the birds have left the station And all the leaves begin to turn We cried shoulder touching shoulder In the palm of October In the palm of October I treat my wounds with tea and honey You sing the songs to help me mend If we could sleep we’d be The Beatles I guess it’s better than being dead In the palm of October

Where did it go? If you wanna stay together I can bury the crow If you’re gonna be someone You gotta be just like me What is it for? The show will run forever If you’re hoping for more But if you’re gonna be someone You gotta be just like me I can feel you From a distance Pain is urging around and From a distance Expectation Disappointment Fade to simple life and From a distance What do we do? Abandoning L.A. To find a fountain of youth If you’re gonna say something You gotta say it just like me How can it be? We bled in the computer For a decade or three If you’re gonna do something You gotta do it just like me I can feel you From a distance Pain is urging around and From a distance Expectation Disappointment Face a simple life and From a distance (Out of our minds) I can feel you (Out of our minds) From a distance (It’s such a crime) Pain is urging around and (Out of our minds) From a distance (Out of our minds) Your expectation (Across the lines) Your disappointment (It’s such a crime) You face a simple life and (Out of our minds) You’re from a distance (It’s such a crime) Your expectation (Across the lines) Your disappointment (Out of our minds) You face a simple life and (Out of our minds) It’s from a distance

It’s so quiet Tonight Embrace me In the moonlight And I will meet you in the woods I will meet you in the woods Alone again It’s still quiet Inside Don’t let the sunshine Give its light I fly, float on down to you And I will meet you in the woods I will meet you in the woods

Nice to meet you Make the hands move on the clock Let me show you You know exactly who you are Forbidden messages I ripped the pages from the book Hidden gun Made you look You steal a moment and Slip into the other room Let me know you We pretend but don’t presume From a distance Operating in the dark ESP Trailer park Medicated Took a walk along the swamp Let me show you Do exactly what you want Separated A perfect heart facsimile Pull the pin Set me free Rear view mirror Codependent potpurri Let me know you We can agree to disagree Take a picture Cue the villain leit motif Just a quick one Make-believe

Meine jacke (meine jacke) Ist von Nippon (ist von Nippon) Meine jacke (meine jacke) Ist von Nippon (ist von Nippon)

I’m spacing out I’m blown apart The fog of war Has cleared the house And all the little seeds come pouring out I’m holding a lantern To light up the walls inside my mind And solving the riddles Rotting upon the gilded vines Committee of vultures Perched on tower of polygons They tell me the future Apologies to the carrion So when you ask If there’s something wrong You know the words You know the songs There’s no tomorrow There’s no appeal What can I say? How can I feel? In and out Logged on again Some feckless whore Under my skin To separate the evil from within I’m spacing out I’m blown apart The fog of war Has cleared the house And all the little seeds come pouring out Memory quicksand Reluctant to find some solid ground An echo of silence Giving my brain the runaround Approaching the canyon To bury the bones of afterthought And quiet the demons Haunting the hotel parking lot So when you ask If there’s something wrong You know the words You know the songs There’s no tomorrow There’s no appeal What can I say? How can I feel?
