Water 02:38
I want to be another man Beat time with a softer hand Stop staring at my eyes in yours If one and one ain't two then what the two is for Oh it strikes me unafraid How fast colors fade In the water I want to pound the pavement With a voice wide open Quit seeing my portrait at the end of the line That line portrays your face, not mine Oh the waves my mind invades And I know I am made Of water I want to be another man

Barefoot 03:34
Call me back later sometime Very likely I'll change my mind And follow you down the avenue White lights rubbin' off on you I just want to feel something A mouth telling me stories close Another heart and mine blushing Leaving on their toes More than a silhouette when I look back All my sons moved to the city Ghosts decorate the room when I sit here And the shadows of the night Fill the air with dynamite I just want to build something That knows no border When you're sure there's a spring You don't fear the winter Or a silhouette when you look back I go barefoot I go barefoot I just want to feel something A mouth telling me stories close Another heart and mine blushing Leaving on their toes

The rose leaves in the fence Their shadows grow, shrink, then grow again The sun warms the whole room Don't get out of here your eyes seem to tell And I feel the weight of time like when the last man fell I don't know nobody with your eyes Oh release me like a child Imagination is stuck somewhere sometimes And the animals run Grumbling is on the rise Sounding like just one man Glued embarrassed flies follow the plan Happiness never stays Never gets there, always on the way In the bright places of the dark Oh release me like a child Imagination is stuck somewhere sometimes And the animals run The world sounds out of tune In the music I still hear it out of tune We could drown in there My hands travel your hands And this is how I learn to dance Only that is real

Us Five 03:03
Off we go To the open road Us five in the car You know a place We'll all be safe With the smell of cigar Emotions charge Emotions go With your head on the barge To keep us afloat At every turn My thighs burn On the melting seat Your shoulders high From left to right Dancing on the beat Emotions charge Emotions go With your head on the barge To keep us afloat Wait down the stairs after my nightmares Feverish shows To decompose A soul exposed To the shapes of a nose Off we go To the open road Us five in the car You know a place We'll all be safe With the smell of cigar

Colorblind 04:03
You and me could really exist Once rescued from the abyss Your footstep's a clear sign There's no-one else breathing behind Part of the healing We're part of the healing Colorblind We lose all the time If your voice is not on mine You and me might really need a kiss Once fished out from this mist Though your position's hard to define We're the only ones left behind Part of the healing We're part of the healing Colorblind We lose all the time If your grief dyes mine We're a part of the healing The sun runs to hide Hear it boiling in One day will provide The heat on my skin We lose all the time If your arm's not in mine

Swing me your fist in the face Bang your head against the wall Hurt at your least painful pace The sky parks somewhere when you crawl And the neighbors can go to hell With their ocean of whispers Days will be days Tomorrow later But I can help you now throw up your pills You hardly hear the sirens And the trips they remind you of As your lips tightens So does your theory of love The magic ride will wait Your hand on someone else's Uneasy Life ever noisy But I can help you now throw up your pills Please have another sip of water Run some on your temples Watch the world scrolling longer Round the bend this day resembles There would be hundreds of colorful lands And you wouldn't see any of it ? Your dark will be dark I'll always be a part But I can help you now throw up your pills
