I. Child of Man
03:43
|

Playing on the playground between naps
Your cubby partner's over there
An older boy just pulled her hair
Without a thought you take him to the grass
You bloody adolescent fists
When mom found out she sure was pissed
They took you out of school for a week
Your knuckles had begun to swell
You made your bruises show-n-tell
(Chorus.)
Child of man
See how much you've grown
See just where you stand
Child of man
Sound of mind
See how strong you are
See how you shape the land
Child of man
High school sophomore year you call your dad
Your crying in the driver's seat you didn't see him in the street
The damage to the car is pretty bad
But you didn't hit that little boy
The telephone pole you destroyed
Dad picks you up and drops you in his truck
The silent somber driving home
Dad lets you know you're not alone
(Chorus.)
Child of man
See how much you've grown
See just where you stand
Child of man
Sound of mind
See how strong you are
See how you shape the land
Child of man
His mother has your hand tight in her grasp
She's dressed in an informal gown
A flock of small hair starts to crown
The nurse beside you sets you to the task
To cut the chord that binds him still
From all the noises you distill
The child of man who babbles in your breast
His warm and most distinctive cry
Those eager cerulean eyes
(Chorus.)
Child of man
You'll see how much you grow
You'll know just where you stand
Child of man
Sound of mind
You'll see how strong you are
And you will shape the land
Child of man

What is it you're looking for my blue-eyed-one
With your hand open flat shielding your face from the sun
There's nothing through that glass for you to see
The sky's opened vasty and the clouds have long left
The air is blowing lowly and your pale form's bereft
There's no one in the car but you and me
(Chorus.)
The desert sun was setting and I couldn't read the time
Sweet Lorraline,
You called me from the catacombs to clear my cluttered mine
Sweet love of mine
I reached into the glovebox for a roadmap of some kind
Keeper of time
And slowly took my journey to the sea
Sweet Lorraline
I dream of you nightly but you sweep me aside
With your menacing gaze, your unshakable pride
And your hair reflecting light just like the sea
My shirt is hung loosely all the buttons are slack
You've turned toward the window all I see is your back
I know that you're the only one for me
(Chorus.)
The desert sun was setting and I couldn't read the time
Sweet Lorraline,
You called me from the catacombs to clear my cluttered mine
Sweet love of mine
I reached into the glovebox for a roadmap of some kind
Keeper of time
And slowly took my journey to the sea
Sweet Lorraline
Although when we get there, you might not understand
That I've driven here for you through this damnable land
A memory you have surely proved to be

I. Holiday
02:15
|

Shopping for sweaters
Cold in December
Christmas doesn't come here
But I'll stay out in the cold
So long as you're near
Scarfing down cookies
Scarf wallet housekeys
Checking my coat at the door
But I'll be tardy to work
If it means seeing you more
(Chorus.)
And the shopkeepers open their doors
And the lights line the houses on streets
But I care more for the snow
As it falls in sheets
Skating on iced ponds
Carolers and old songs
Watching stuff on TV
But I'll watch reindeer play games
If you'll watch them with me
Lacing my boots up
Put on your ear muffs
Kissing your frost bitten nose
We'll wrestle out in the snow
Then take off soaking clothes
(Chrous.)
And the shopkeepers open their doors
And the lights line the houses on streets
But I care more for the snow
As it falls in sheets

II. Breakfast Headaches
03:03
|

Debra can you tell me something
A question I can't solve myself
I've waited for our happy ending
I don't think being patient helps
I'm sick and tired of raging daydreams
And fantasies at night
But that's alright
Yeah that's alright
Debra I wake in the morning
And roll over upon my bed
My lazy ardor aches with yearning
And strangulations in my head
I'm sick and tired of breakfast headaches
This love I fear is trite
But that's alright
Yeah that's alright
(Chorus.)
Hey-ey
Debra Can you sneak away from him again
Hey-ey
Debra don't you do this shit to me again
Hey-ey
Your lies have grown complacent and your manner cold
Hey-ey
Debra, this shit is getting old
Debra do this one thing for me
A show of longing and good faith
Just meet me in the cemetary
Our resolution cannot wait
I'm sick and tired of accusations
I don't want us to fight
But that's alright
Yeah that's alright
(Chrous)
Hey-ey
Debra can you sneak away from him again
Hey-ey
Debra don't you do this shit to me again
Hey-ey
Your lies have grown complacent and your manner cold
Hey-ey
Debra, this shit is getting old
Debra I can see your phone screen
Why do you still do this to me
Every single night you steal my heart
Then calmly rip it apart
Feelings changing with everyday
Yet you still won't send me away
Debra I am begging you
To make this god damn choice
(Chorus)
Hey-ey
Debra can you sneak away from him again
Hey-ey
Debra don't you do this shit to me again
Hey-ey
Your lies have grown complacent and your manner cold
Hey-ey
Dera, this shit is getting old

II. Frozen Ground
03:47
|
|||
In sweet september
We caught the leaves in our hands
We wandered through the fields
And there we had our dance
Do you remember
The smell of fire and freshly falling snow
We stood and watched the smokestacks
No one but for you and me would know
(Chorus.)
Pick me off the frozen ground
Lover will you hold me down
Our secret winter
We let the snowflakes melt on our tongues
We kissed inside an igloo
Lovers on their first and only run
January's embers
Walkin’ by myself through frozen fields
Where does the time go
Love is never ended only sealed
(Chorus).
Pick me off the frozen ground
Lover will you hold me down
(Bridge)
Pack your bags this once my dear
Let's get the fuck away from here
Just for the day
Pack your bags this once my dear
Let's get the fuck away from here
Just for the day
Pack your bags this once my dear
Let's get the fuck away from here's
Just for the day
Pack your bags this once my dear
Let's get the fuck away from here
Just for the day
Pack your bags this once my dear
Let's get the fuck away from here
Just for the day
(Chorus)
Pick me off the frozen ground
Lover will you hold me down
Just for the day.

II. Drift Away
01:59

Walk on pass the brook
Bring the firewood
You will find me there
You will find me there
Walk on by the shed
Where the tools are kept
You will find me there
You will find me there
Tiptoe through the park
Just before it's dark
You will find me there
You will find me there
(Chorus.)
Stay the night
Talk a while
Drift away
Alabaster smile
Hold me for a while
I will keep you near
I will keep you near
When your windows rock
When the wind is rough
I will keep you near
I will keep you near
(Chorus.)
Stay the night
Talk a while
Drift away
(Bridge.)
Wear your wandering heart on my sweater sleeve
Take my aching hands and cross this bridge with me
Say you'll play your part and I will never leave
Don my winter coat or you'll freeze
(Chorus.)
Stay the night
Talk a while
Drift away

II. Robin Hood
03:51
|
|||
A yeoman's bow
Broken on the curve
Lay down upon
The castle Kerklee floor
And John could hear
From far beyond those walls
His brother's fear
And quiet anguished callscx
(Chorus pt i.)
Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest
Laughing back and forth at what the other'n had to say
Reminiscing this'n that'n havin' such a good time
Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day
And so he said
I know it to be true
He's nearly dead
My Robin won't pull through
He stood up swift
From underneath the tree
And ran forthwith
To the barred gates of Kerklee
(Chorus pt ii.)
Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest
Jumpin fences dodgin trees and tryna get away
Contemplating nothing but escapin barely making it
Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day
Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day
He hollered loud
The wooden gates stood latched
He drew his sword
And started to the task
To break the doors
They shrapneled with his swing
His voice grew hoarse
With Robin fold your wings
(Chorus pt iii.)
Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest
Laughing back and forth at what the other'n had to say
Reminiscing this and that'n having such a good time
Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day
Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day
Ooh de lally Ooh de lally Golly what a day

Darlin Don't listen
To the talk of the town
When they say they've caught me
Sleeping around
I don't care for Sadie
And I've never touched Jill
I don't even look up
When they slide me the bill
Those bartending women
Aren't really my type
What I needs a lady
Who's good in a fight
(Chrous.)
Boxing match woman
You sleep like a log
You kiss like a lady
And you fight like a dog
So baby, don't worry
I ain't quit you yet
You got the best right hook
From here to Tibet
And if'n I left you
This'd surely be true
You'd knock me clean out of
These old leather shoes
You'd break me to pieces
You'd tear me apart
You't take from this old flesh
The weight of your heart.
(Chorus.)
Boxing match woman
You sleep like a log
You kiss like a lady
And you fight like a dog
So next time they tell you
That I've been a cheat
Just give them a stern look
And knock out their teeth

Love,
Please take my hand
And take my coat
From off the stand
Love, love
Love,
And wrap up tight
It gets real cold
This time of night
Love,
(Chorus.)
You know from the start that I've been yours, my Ulalume.
I'd give you the stars you're more than worth them, Ulalume.
Love,
come hither quick
And I will do
Your favorite trick
Love, loved
Love,
We'll disappear
Have not a worry
Have not a fear
Love,
(Chorus.)
You know from the start that I've been yours, my Ulalume.
I'd give you the stars you're more than worth them, Ulalume.
Come,
My meadowlark
Just be my torchlight
Through all this dark
Love, love
Now,
And when we're old
Just use my warmth
To fight the cold
Love,
(Chorus.)
You know from the start that I've been yours, my Ulalume.
I'd give you the stars you're more than worth them, Ulalume.
Love,
Please take my hand
And take my coat
From off the stand.

It's trying as hell just to sleep
The air in this cabin's too cold
I'm freezing to death in my seat
And you've bundled up in my coat
I'm reaching for you in the dark
Your cheeks are pressed flat to the glass
You wake up and turn just an inch
The sight of your face makes me laugh
(Chorus.)
Watching you fall on your knees
Lean on my arm, darling please
We're lying awake on the train
You're quieter now than you've been
I like your right here next to me
The touch of your warmth on my skin
(Chorus.)
Knowing damn well you would leave
Waste my time love if you please

III. Ratatatat
01:13

Tristram was a vagabond who wore a funny hat
His only friend was misery and a mangy alley cat
I saw him at the drug store and that was all of that
The vagrant could be dead now
A ratatatat
Isaeult was a girl who manufactured yoga mats
She lived in new york city in a dirty crowded flat
She put her hair in all her work a strand for every mnat
The last I hear she's barren
A ratatatat
My roommate's name is Anselm and he owns a baseball bat
He practiced with it everyday swatting at the gnats
That swarmed around our kitchen and the garbage in the back
I stabbed him with a screw driver
A ratatatat

The Master Builder
01:37

Once in a quiet town down by the sea
There lived a young carpenter
Henrik was he
He dreamed of a paradise down by the sea
And eden of solitude
Down by the sea
Chorus:
Dream little architect
Dream of the sea
Dream of your paradise
Dream
Down in the naval town there was a girl
Hair just like firelight
Eyes on the world
She dreams of a paradise down by the sea
An eden of solitude
Down by the sea
Chorus:
Dream little architect
Dream of the sea
Dream of you paradise
Dream
Once that they left that town down by the sea
The pair came together they
Loved blissfully
They dreamed of their paradise down by the sea
An eden of solitude
Down by the sea
Chorus:
Dream little architects
Dream of the sea
Dream of you paradise
Dream
