Angel, glowing in a second-hand suit and tie
Halo, deadbeat poet trying to find a rhyme
I know you fill your diary
left and right with your history
All you drink is sweet wine
every Saturday night
You make living
almost seem divine
Genius, you and everybody that you’re running with
C’mon witness, a modern day saint or Billy the Kid
Naked as on the day
You were born to die in vain
Always ready for a fight
Or the occasional Buddhist rite
You make living
almost seem divine
Well, I can tell you won’t be long for this
You keep on searching for eternal bliss
in every funeral home
where the buffalo roam
Every barroom floor
is an eternal door
to what you looking for
What you looking for
What are you looking for?
You make living
almost seem divine
Every day the carnival ride
Every night the final time
It seems exhausting baby
When do you sleep?

(I Just Want) To Be Free
03:23
|

The deafening life of the city
You’re trying to drown it out
Numbing yourself to the weary
to suffocate the shouts
Of "I — I just want to be free"
Yeah, I, I just want to be
Are you really lonely
if all your thoughts are shared
listening to the moaning of the city
echo in despair?

Live TV
02:59
|

It was 2011 the last time
I turned on the TV
We were having the time of our lives
I was waiting for the ball to drop
It was 11:00 when I realized
that I did not belong there,
watching reruns of your favorite shows
I already knew the plot
I became all my bad advice
That was no kind of life
It was the right time to get out
You know that I ain't even sad
It was precisely 11:59
when I came to the storefront
A glimmer of hope in the eyes
of a city on live TV
And I could see it from where I stood
The future looked good
It was the right time to get out
(You know what?)
It was the right time to get out
You know that I ain't even sad

Children of the Divine
03:58
|

You’re so 20th century
like something that used to mean a lot to me
I may never change the world you see,
but I can lift us out of mediocrity
There’s nothing worth taking seriously
The best things they make the fun out of me
Children of the divine
Seeking out the sublime
We’ll believe it
We’ll believe it till the clocks wind down
Chase a dream that you will most defend
and when you see a wall you must kick it in
We can be the new pioneers
who risk the days ahead on the new frontier
But nothing’s worth taking your sanity
The best things they make you play so free
Children of the divine
Seeking out the sublime
We’ll believe it
We’ll believe it when till the clocks wind down

Show Me What You Got
02:48
|

A sucker punch to the head
You’re disoriented now
And despair is the wave
In which the spirit will drown
If you burn it all down
Let the flame testify
Will you kid yourself
When the embers won’t suffice?
And the anger in your soul
I’m not saying let it go
Show me what you got
It’s time to get back
To the thing you once had
You better love one another
Before it gets bad
A sucker punch to the head
May disorient you now
At least you know where you stand
When you hit the ground
And the anger in your soul
I’m not saying let it go
But you must reason with yourself
Cos there is always someone else
And another point of view

Last of the Evergreens
02:10
|
|||
There's a saying I once heard
about moments like this…
Photographs replaced the paintings
and all our memories
And the New York writers grieve
They all seem to concede
We're the last of the evergreens
We shut down all the billboards
advertising love and truth
while they drained the concealer
from the fountains of our youth
And a retrospective film
warned us of our present ills
We're the last of the evergreens
They can burn down all the trees
We'll continue planting seeds
We're the last of the evergreens
We're the last of the evergreens
