The Messenger

The birds
were picking at the bones
of a whale
who swallowed me whole
I saw them swirling in the clouds,
but the sky's just a cage,
and they don't know
I crawled out
from the belly of a mammal
who was swimming
in the depths of his home - I
stumbled out and saw a thousand bodies
and a couple dozen people saying,
"where'd the water go?"
I don't know
Am I the message, or am I the messenger?
I've been delivered
Can I deliver? (now)
Just then,
I thought I saw the ocean
It was floatin'
into outer space
They sent me up,
up in a rocket
on a suicide mission to make it rain
Am I the message, or am I the messenger?
I've been delivered
Can I deliver? (now)

TV's Free

TV's free and I need bail
TV's free and I'm for sale
So if and when you write again,
just send that check out in the mail.
So when you come to see me again
on the other side of the glass,
what could it hurt to pretend
that I am free and on TV?

There are animals in the clouds.
They are eating each other.
There are animals in the clouds.
They are riding each other.
And the horse that you rode in on is raining on my parade
(2x)
There are animals in the clouds.
They're riding each other.
There are animals in the clouds.
We could spot them together,
but the horse that you rode in on is raining on my parade
and the horse that you rode in on is raining on my parade

how could you not know it's true
now and then will come unglued
tomorrow's on a hinge
close the door all over again
the past dies each hour
the future makes it so
both want to be the present
and both have to let it go
how could you not know I do
I'd leap from stars to earth for you
like ashes out of space
raining down all over the place.

boy, you'll never be a man
because you
never made a plan
to pack your bags and leave
boy, you'll never be a man
houses crumble on the sand
put your hand to the plow and work
but there's gonna come a day
you'll look back on this and say
were glad to have the chance
to make your life better than before
better than before

eyelids
make the world like a secret to me
static
fills my ears with a harmony
you've made your home
in the comfort of a radio
I've made my own
in a melody

Makes Us Stronger

we can stand on broken legs
we can even lead
we want more than what we have
we'll take what we need
we'll be stronger
we no longer hurt

Quarter Century Man

you won't rise above it
unless you sink the ship
the answer's dancing on your tongue
but just won't leave the tip
you won't write the ending
by the time it comes
you will just be figuring that
it's already done
quarter century man,
is there anything that you can do?

the cops said no one else had made it
I guessed that I could trust their words
but I could swear that I saw someone through the smoke
I guess my calls rang louder than hers
but now I hear her crying
and see her being strong
and she's taking my hand
she's taking me along with her
"you and I
we could be parasites
the thing that's inside of us (now)
is what's really alive"
she glowed like
a thousand bursting fireflies
made it all
feel like magic
bending and weeping over skies
we could be heaven,
giving the whole world life
I'm like an untrained medic
suturing my own wounds
don't you go sleep on me, baby
those pills will wear off in an hour or two
you and I
we could be parasites
the thing that's inside of us (now)
is what's really alive
