Well why are you always moving so fast
Through every day
Why let anything pass
Anyway
One drunken morning I took a walk
Through the crowded streets
And traded in all of my time for
goodness and beauty
Well, the day was ending so I took a walk
Wheelin` through town, past the trash and the rubble
Put my faith in the poison, tighten the grip
I`ll ride slower than ever, finally free
Well, the empire of night
Has left everyone
And I was there for its arrival
And now it`s gone
Well the world is no more than a beach
Made for two faithful kids
Lying perfectly still
With a burning sky above
Well the sun came out so I let it in
Ran from morning to morning, who knows how much time I’ve spent?

We`ll fall together
Or we`ll fall apart
Yeah, I`m just a motion
Getting lost in the dark
Just like a drifter
Without a home when morning comes
Without a song to face the night
I`m losing all my best colors
Oh, could you see me through
God is saying this to you, and it`s all too true, yeah you know
Could you see me through?
I am saying this to you and it`s all too real yeah you know
With eyes like mirrors
Laying cards in mid december
Saying names just to be faithful
Yeah, we`re doing what we can
But I`m just an echo
Moving through an empty land
Carry the hollow sound of dying
Carry the hollow

They offer us daylight, the sleeping parade
And leave us when day comes, let us be by ourselves
Come out of your apartment, and see where we`ll go
With the whole city swaying, the earth has grown whole
Waking up to see the face of dawn
Waking up to see that night has gone home
Well, everybody knows we`re the same
The light that has come home, hangs over your head
And your doorstep is welcome to anyone less
We`ll sleep with salvation, and drink with the dead
And in time all our senses will go back where they where
Waking up to be the light of morning
Waking up to see the light of love

Hidden in the blood is the gift he left us a long time ago
Coming down from the mountain he was screaming with joy “there`s a will after all”
This is the way it is, now is our time, you`ve got a fire burning in your eyes
And the light from the sky, has got us moving all night
to the rhythm of a hungry heart
Fall into your seasick eyes
Yeah, I hope we`ve been blessed by the sun
Rolling through the thunderous city of night, yeah you were shaking like a leaf, but we were feeling alright
Yeah, we`ve seen the eyes of ancient ones, naked and blue, we`re just bodies singing as we sway
Every day as we both grow older, time turns our blood to dust
Working on a hunger, yeah working on a thirst, could have the world if we wanted to

Sweetness Come Home

Dreamt away a day half spent
On being loud in bars and watching lights as they go out
Never seen the sea of fire, but I’ll be glad to go
Riding through the emptiness, I`ll follow you down
Sweetness come home
Falling light, crucified
Stuck inside a dream
Time has made us who we are
I don’t want you disappearing
And I might play the fool sometimes
And it might be that I am
But there’s a power in resistance
Yeah, we`ll see it through this time

Just Like Pieces

Drag me out of my poverty, strip me of my skin
Caught a fever that I’m still dragging on today
Just like pieces just like Christ
I’m still rolling trough the times
Stepped outside into the world just to get away from the trip inside my head
Wasn’t born to die like this
Wasn’t born to die right here
Out on a Sunday performing rites
Trying to shield the evil from these eyes
I’m just a bug head halfway insane
Have felt the lord pink beam run through my veins

The Light

Fell into a river and out of my bed last night
Not much of a swimmer, and so I drowned in all it`s might
shot through every ocean, thrown across the sky
eyes impaled by devotion and filling up with light
It`s going to take some time
to get back to where we were
When I was a painter, with my canvas all empty and clean
and a flower on the top of my head
yeah, I`d paint the world every day
I was the creator
exercising my right to be
by filling time and space

Well carry me home
no more kings and no more masters
You’re such a gift to every season
You cry out, amongst the gold
“hunger will always find you”
Born into stone, you were too
I`ve come to find peace in nothing
Well, why would I speak in this voice
If it didn’t have the strength?
Every little thing that moves
Well I know why you crawl around
Every little thing that speaks
Well I know why you say your words so softly
Drown yourself in incense, drown yourself in wine
But the light comes from you and I

Stars were hanging from a heavy sky
The lord has come home
The moon was crying out tonight
“the lord has come home”
If what I see is that which is real, then I have come home
