Feathers

Come to the door

If I had my way I'd

Run to the door

If I had my I'd

Tie our hair in knots together

It feels like we've been lost forever

Blown around like feathers

I tie our hair in knots forever

It feels like we belong together

Blown around like feathers

Hey now

Stand up

We go where we want to go

The shortest way to china

A big bang

A little too late

A leap of faith

Is prelude to a fall

You went over the wall

You went over

The shortest way to china

Is through you

All the kings men

Couldn't put you together again

You went over the wall

You went over

The shortest way to china

Is through you

Ice Station

White light

I tip toe through the taiga

Snow blind

There's no escaping

This ice station

Odessa

There is a house I know down south

With a red door and steps down to the shore

On the beach of the black sea

There's a one who waits for me

With love, Odessa

Out east among the beasts

Dead meat and a red red feast

Underneath the black canopy

There's a one who waits for me

With love, Odessa

A place to rest out west

Build a nest with the one I left

Underneath the green trees

There's a one who waits for me

With love, Odessa

No warmth in the frozen north

No horse to ride anymore

Underneath the black leaves

There's a one who waits for me

With love, Odessa

Step toe heel toe

Into the white

Step toe heel toe

Into the light

I walk all day

I walk all night

And I walk through the pain and into the white

I walk all day

I walk all night

And I walk through the pain and into the light

Evil love

The road home

Isn't home

And we know

When you go

That we'll both

Be alone

And we know

When you go

That we'll both

Be broke

The sky breaks into stars

The stars breaking apart

And they shatter in shards

They can't tear us apart

And we know

That the road

Home isn't home

The sky breaks into stars

The stars breaking apart

And they shatter in shards

They can't tear us apart

Walls

Whatever way I looked

I saw a wall rising up

Whatever road I took

I saw a wall rising up

Go go when I can fly

Home home when I can I go

Evil Dove

You spread your wings

You're hovering

You spread your wings

Over me

You're an evil dove

Death from above

You're an evil love

You give evil hugs

You're an evil drug

You're evil fun

You're an evil one

You're my destruction

Crack goes the Lake

Pathway

Crack goes lake

Hunger pangs

Bloody fangs

Crack goes the lake

Hiding place

Hunger pangs

Pitter patter

Pitter patter

Their yellow gaze

Their silver shape

Their hunger pangs

Their blood red fangs

Their white ways

Their black days

Their hunger pangs

Their blood red fangs

Crack goes the lake

Hunger pangs

A Kind of Solution

The hoods of your eyes

They were a kind of solution

The crooks in your spine

They were kind of confusion

The hooks in your hide

They were kind of illusion

The end of the night

It was a kind of conclusion

I leave the house I flee the town

There is a reason why I keep matches around

As I ride over the fields of ash

I call your name in hopes you'll call mine back

I wonder as I wander how much further til I find her

I nearly drowned in the water when I crossed the river

I'm soaking wet as I schlepped through the steps

From Odessa to China and back again

As I ride over the fields of grass I call your name

And I hear you call mine back

Standby

Wandering I

Double you

No I won't standby

While you burn motherfucker

No I won't standby

While you turn on each other

Wandering eye

Wandering I

Am a lullaby

Wandering I

Am lost in time

Wandering eye

Try and find

A place for the night

Til the dawns early light
