Paint On It 03:38
I watch some squirrels in the yard They notice me right away They look suspicious all the time A squirrel's life seems okay Saw a fearless beetle cross the street Didn't give a damn about my feet Armor like a silver dollar But it don't stand a chance in the gutter Are you tired of your bed? Paint on it Or swimming in the red? Paint on it Tired of your hair The hair that you wear? Paint on it A classic work of art? Paint on it Crazy wheel shopping cart? Paint on it Don't you burn it down Don't you burn this town Paint it to the ground I used to catch frogs with my cousins Splash around in soda fountains That's not my life anymore But I'm grateful all the more So what's this song about? Images are loud Life is full of mystery Paint on our history On the bathroom stall? Paint on it Empty shops in dead malls - Paint on it If you want to paint your lips Shipyard paint the ships - Paint on it I like the look of neon. Paint on it Can you imagine the great beyond? Paint on it Don't you burn it down Don't you burn this town Paint it to the ground Oh what about the battlements? Paint on it Or the slum old apartments? Paint on it Dominion Energy conduit? Paint on it Civil war monument? Paint on it Stickers on the parking meters? - Paint on it Yeah we've been lied to by our leaders Paint on it Don't you burn it down Don't you burn this town Paint it to the Don't you burn it down Don't you burn this town Paint it to the ground

Boston 04:03
Boston streets at night In the pale moonlight Walk the streets in a hurry In a blurry hurry Like I'm running from something Boston in the day I like it okay Walking around in the light See some friends of mine Til they leave for The Peace Corps Boston Boston Oh this place is cold Oh there's so much snow Lost in Boston Oh this place is cold Oh there's so much snow Seashell filled with ash Dead trees in the trash Needle mess on the grass Ghosts of Christmas past Like bones or something Boston streets at night In the pale moonlight Will things be the same? Think how much could change In two years more in the Peace Corps Boston Boston Oh this place has change How it's stayed the same Lost in Boston Oh this place has change How it's stayed the same Boston Boston This place is cold There's so much snow

Do you still recall Being here five years ago The ecstasy of memory Suddenly remember something In January Someone's house party The ecstasy of memory Suddenly remember something How can this be real We were here five years ago The ecstasy of memory I can still remember somethings The muralist His girlfriend The calico in the snow on the patio The ecstasy of memory Like I'm waking up or something But what was it I dreamed again I always wake up right before the end? It must have been a memory One more forgotten memory

Boxing Ring 04:38
It's good to see people that love you You know that you'll always care But deep inside you feel like a different person When you're there Feels so good to be sentimental You know you love to share a beer But it's no fun selling yourself to someone Who's known you for seventeen years You didn't see a thing You're still in the boxing ring So keep your hands up You're gonna have to swing You didn't see a thing You're still in the boxing ring So hold your head high It's gonna sting Not all of your dead are really gone Grown apart or just moved on We've all got our conditions for trust So keep your friends close or they become dust But the best things in this life never get old Making love in the morning or coffee in the cold Money that you found laying around on the ground The way you just dream driving around with the windows down You didn't see a thing You're still in the boxing ring So keep your hands up You're gonna have to swing You didn't see a thing You're still in the boxing ring So hold your head high It's gonna sting

Job Fair 03:25
Do you want to waste some time with me? Do you want to stand in line with me? Come with me my friends Let's stock up on free pens And drawstring book bags Do you really think they'd hire me We all want to make a lot of money We all want to get rich quick I've been working so much Makes me sick! I am gonna grow my hair Show up in my underwear I don't really care About the job fair The job fair Lots of friends of mine they live this life Many different people nine to five And one guy says how great my career could be But he don't know the first thing about me About me! All the frat brothers are there Borrowing dad suits to wear Heads are shoved up you-know-where At the job far The job fair

Are you worried about the future Are you worried about the past? Like the eyes of the world Could see through you like glass Are you worryin about some secret You want so bad to tell But if they looked into your heart They'd understand it just as well If you're losing your way Lost in the mystery Still I have faith in Are you asking for forgiveness Are you yearning for relief? Can an umbrella Keep you dry from the sea? There will always be evil You will always break your bones But the future is unwritten And you're never alone If you're losing your way Lost in the mystery Still I have faith in The right side of history If you're losing your way Just like me Still I have faith in My fellow humans

Still Blue 02:23
Why am I still blue around you? Why am I still blue around you? Yo-yo on a string Up and down is everything Why am I still blue? I didn't want to go but I had to I didn't want to go but I had to Slip your Honda keys In your purse and then I leave I didn't want to go The last time that I visited your place Burgundy striped gold drapes on your window Just some little change I'd normally not notice And by the end you'd have not pointed it out Why am I still blue around you? Why am I still blue around you? I can't see you yet I sure hope you understand Why am I still blue? Why am I still blue around you? Why am I still blue around you? Yo-yo on a string Up and down is everything Why am I still blue? Why am I still blue?

Are we still drinking? We’re starting the show Are we getting paid? Is anybody gonna show? No Did you remember To lock the van? That thing’s leaking out oil Just because it can It’s a reminder With so much force It’s the afterglow It’s the delusion horse It’s like a magnet Closing all the doors I can’t get away from The delusion horse What’s the playbook say? What’s a metaphor for? Can I lose every battle But still win the war? Were we faking to fake this out And are we writing to right our wrongs? Were we shouting at some bad call On the television all along?

SO drunk in the big city You know, the big city Where everything is oh-so-pretty (time?) So drunk in the big city You know, the big city Where everything is oh-so-pretty The monk The monk feels pity Feels pity Feels pity For the traffic and the taxis And the homeless soldier laughing Everything in life is eye for eye Now some of you don’t know You’re only satisfied with the tiny city Pocket city Mini city One-horse city Oh not I I’m gonna get by I like to make a scene when I go outside (out of time) Competition conversation All across this great big nation! Everything in life is eye for eye For eye for eye for eye

Mulberry 04:05
Days I get hung up Chasing the elusive rabbit Following its trail Or fighting just to break a habit But trying ain’t enough I kept mouthing off again Couldn’t stop once i began A means to an end What a state I’m in In a hurry I’m seeing blurry eyed Winter mix and snow flurry Shake my fist at heaven But heaven ain’t to blame Not for how I treated you How we bear our shame Wear it like a badge of honor So I start to dig And hope some seed will germinate I don’t want a cure Just to shed a little weight The self fulfilling prophecy I want sense as not to chase it Self fulfilling prophecy Or at least the strength to face it A mural comes to mind The Ecstasy of St. Theresa Heaven touches earth In pleasure so divine If gravity let go of me There is no smile there is no frown If gravity let go of me There is no up or down
