If you don't go outside You will never be surprised Within your double life Double life, double life I'll see you in my double life You can travel wide Walk with wide eyes You can satisfy! You can satisfy! But no one is satisfied With half a double life Double life, double life I'll see you in my double life

It's been so long Since I had the right dream Since I cut the right scene When I think of you I hear someone scream Somewhere across the street I don't have to look both ways When I cross your street I don't have to look both ways When I cross your street When I cross your street When I cross your street When I cross your street

In the pouring rain I looked away In the pouring rain I look away It's as clear as it was on the day You skinned your knee twice in the same place Under the bars at Tompkin's Sq. Park It's clear now, nothing has changed In the pouring rain I guessed wrong... In the pouring rain I guessed wrong It's as easy as walking away Out of the race and into the rain Into the pouring rain into the pouring rain

You don't need to make everything right You don't need to make every wrong right I love the one who laughs at our trying So I get on my knees and laugh without lying You don't need to make everything right In the not-quite is where I abide Everyone will use you as suits their own needs Self-centered synthesis, I see it's alright Political mind-virus, I think it's alright Unblinking, depthless cyclopean eye

Oh no, oh no Chords of the lord, play for me Chords of the lord, play for me Oh no, oh no I saw you across the street I couldn't tell if you saw me Oh no, oh no The rain came down and washed the street Water of swords, fall on me Oh no, oh no Footprints in the snow going around the tree Whose are these? Who could it be? Oh no, oh no I walked around once, and when I looked down There were your footprints on the ground I know, I know I know you're right there, but you move too fast You're always in first and I'm always in last Oh no, oh no What do I do? I just want to meet you I'm walking in circles 'till I go blue Hello, hello Pity is the name, but silence is the last name It's all in the family Oh no, oh no I brought you my love, but it wasn't enough You said "come back later with a pint of blood" Oh no, oh no I can't do that now, not even for fun Chords of the lord share with no one Oh no, oh no I've been used up and I'm fucking up Songs of war score my dreams Oh no, oh no Help me now, I don't know what I need Chords of the lord, play for me Chords of the lord, play for me Chords of the lord, play for me

Always certain trades must be made Always, always Always certain trades must be made Always, Always The obsequious paige-boy must be hung by his feet If the municipal lord doesn't find you in bed with your lover The painter will never see a thing's simple color Those who dream must awake with insects in their ears Always certain trades must be made Always, always Always certain trades must be made Always, Always The drug-sniffing dog won't stop for the flower Always, always A credulous mind is that of the ad copywriter Always, always Always this with that, keeping obscure balance Alone, always alone Through the moment, the certainty Of the absurdity embedded in glory And the moment of cruelty That's part of any good story Always certain trades must be made Always, always Always certain trades must be made Always, Always

I'd never put you out I'd never put you out I'd never let you down I'd never put you out I'd never let you down I'd never let you down I'd never play it cool Standing there like a fool When you're standing in doubt I'd never put you out I'd never put you out I'd never put you out You know you can sleep on the couch I'd never turn you down I'd never turn you down I'd never stand around Playing the spiteful clown You're gonna know what I'm about Yeah, I'ma go hard for you now

Wash the dreams away Wash the dreams away When you wake up in a memory that's stuck Just wash the dreams away Right before the dawn I just keep getting it wrong I wanted to dream of a new sounding scene But instead, it's the same old song "Time will make it change" Finer minds than mine say But it's been a decade if it's been a day So turn on the water if you need grace And wash the dreams away Wash the dreams away Wash the dreams away When the feeling you face Is that you're in the wrong place And all that you crave is a familiar face Just wash the dreams away Just wash the dreams away

There must be some problem here I know it's not okay There must be some problem here 'Cause that's who we've always been There must be some problem here Otherwise how would you recognize me? Taking the same train, expecting to get somewhere new Isn't that the definition of insanity? Please would you stop talking now Your voice is a brick wall in front of me One often can't do the right thing I know that's not okay It looked so good to me The empty places beside the train tracks The rusting discarded machinery And the dry grass growing up From the cracks in the concrete I want to be quiet now I want to be okay being near you I don't wanna forget anything But when I remember, I can't hear you It looked so good to me It looked so good to me I know there's some problem here But when you find it don't tell me

Floating down the river at night No human hands can touch me The water the same shade as the sky The darkest color I've ever seen Floating down the river at night No human hands can touch me The water the same shade as the sky That's how I know you love me We make a sacrifice to you So that you will love me We spill the blood of our sons for you So that you will love me I'm walking on Troy avenue The hard winter sun above me I'ma lay down on the bench in the park And wait for him to cut me Walking across St. John's Place Where the working men wait and stare There's a sweet sound coming out of the church But I'd never know how to act in there I run my hand along the fence And I recognize its function Your landlord turns backwards To hide their erection They want to trade you religion For the house you're living in They say "The party's up on the second floor" You're never ever gonna make it there These new buildings are made out of paper and tape And there's a trap door at the top of the stairs Floating down the river at night No human hands can touch me The water the same shade as the sky The darkest color I've ever seen Well, you've gone away again And we just don't know how to act The streets all look new again So we've been lurking around at night We've been murking that photograph Yeah, we've been living a petty life We've been waiting and waiting and waiting for you 110 long years it's been And now you've come back to us Will you turn into a boy again?? Floating down the river at night No human hands can touch me The water the same shade as the sky The darkest color I've ever seen Floating down the river at night No human hands can touch me The water the same shade as the sky That's how I know you love me We make a sacrifice to you So that you will love me We spill the blood of our sons for you So you'll LOVE LOVE LOVE

We applaud at the right time And then we go home and die There's something about the night That makes the dead come alive We're out here cropping the cream Off of the urban elite We feel so lucky to eat The crumbs that fall at their feet We applaud at the right time When everything is divine We need distortion to play We need distortion to play We need distortion to play We need distortion to play We need distortion to play

Rain pour down, pour down ! Rain pour down on me ! When I stand under that cloud The color of your eyes Starts fading from my mind And I can't be bothered now!
