Atlassian Breaks

You beg for mercy or you
Grant the mercy, either one
Any other action
Just hasn't been broke down enough
So you think it over or you
Roll it over endlessly
Wear down the edges so they
Spin inside more comfortably
La dee da
And those heavy shoulders is the
Worst place for this to sit
Standing in for Atlas as he
Finishes his cigarette
It's a million light-years long and
Zeus couldn't give a shit
What's that bloated ivory moon
Up there whining about tonight
The tide reacts like rolling
Lovers shedding covers side-by-side
The sun is unimpressed and says
"Imagine that's you and I"
"Well all those buildings they would fall
like sea stacks in hurriances
"The human race embraced for the very last time
In their mortal frames
"Bodies heavenly and man
Looking strikingly the same"

Hands So Sleight

Even before you know it we'll be singing along with you
We've got stars in our eyes and we sure love to be read to
You know I read somewhere they do the same things we do
Like want to get high
Mt. St. Helens, she woke up and swallowed the West Coast
And she shed her lumber and poured down Sierra's Throat
And she won't give it back until something upsets her
And then where will we go?
I've got a good vessel, I think I'll just sail West of here
And if the world's flat I'll write or buy you a souvenir
They have the best truck stops just outside the atmosphere
You get to barter for price
And I heard Atlantis he just lost his confidence
No social insecurity but unusual circumstance
He wanted to stay up but his villagers outvoted him
They were ready to go
And we've got our hopes so high
We've got our hands so sleight
We've got our lips wrapped tight
Around whatever we want

Westport Hymn
03:26
|

You're in between
Precipice of dreams
The ocean yawns
Shoreline surely dissolved
Not sure what you say
On Neptune's widow's walk
A gaping maw?
The conclusion of it all?
Or the perfect start?

Men of the Cloth
05:25

there's no need to be scared
there's nothing we can do
the sky has been falling
or dropping the last year or two
there's snow in the desert
high tide at my back door
the men of the cloth
agree
rapture's imminent
so sell your belongings
wash feet
and stay glued to your set
the program will be
broadcast everywhere in morse code
we're bathing in radio waves and clicking
from an unknown source
the revolution will be televised and reach
every single home
the men of the cloth
agree
rapture's imminenet
we've got one seal left
unbroken
and this last one's a bitch
prodigal son
you look just like your old man
and your first born
left in the river
until he learns how to swim
you gotta learn how to swim
the men of the cloth
agree
rapture's imminent
and you sure look
like you like
the sound
of that
