Look under your feet




 

“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.”






“Look underfoot. You are always nearer to the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Don't despise your own place and hour. Every place is the center of the world.”





 

“A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”

John Burroughs

The Space Between



You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love







The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain






But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing





We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain






Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...








Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down







The Space Between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into...
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain





Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need here






The Space Between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between...

Hollow Mountain






Do it, do it, do it,
Do it, do operator
Come up, come up, come up so hard
Do it, do it, do it,
Do it, do operator
So what, so what, so what, so what, so what?
Do it, do it, do it,
Do it, do operator
So what, so what, so what, so what, so what?






It’s impossible and, over mountain Doka
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
There is nothing else that in pieces to pieces are straight
When I forget about it
I can’t face the pieces on fire
You stood straight, cause don’t you know
That I’ve been picking up, to someone
Help, I’m falling down!






It’s impossible, when the night inverts us
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what I am?
It’s destructible, but I know that someday,
when I’m gone, I’m going, I’m going oh-oh-oh
I can’t face the pieces on fire,
You stood strangers don’t you know?
That I’ve been picking up from somebody’s left
Help, I’m falling down!






Do it, do it, do it,
Do it, do oṗerator
Come on, come on, come on so hard
Do it, do it, do it,
Do it, do operator
Come on, come on, come on so hard

Arcadia





What's the point of waiting for life to come
I could go further and no one's surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart








What's the point of waiting for life to come
I could go further and no one's surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart






Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart

Morning





Go where you want
when you know you can change your direction.
'Cause it always arrives
but it starts with another intention.






You could drive for a while,
but you'll never understand what has happened
to the places you left
when you weren't paying any attention.






Your eyes go wide in this night
you were heading to.
And the morning surrounding you witht his gloom.
The trails in the back as a nightly track.
Your eyes see the better day







You could drive for a while,

The trails in the back as a nightly track.

The Boatman






Well it was yoyo, I suppose,
I play like fashion comes and goes.
I can't set my mind on you.
Yes I lied about those lovers,
that they were just some kind of cover
for the nights we used to share.
I've seen this water a lot before,
still I cross it once more.







I shook the hand of the boatman
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt by now








I shook the hand of the boatman
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt by now








There are taking bets,
living all around our bed,
for I can't see my thoughts on you.
And I reduced them to a scratch.
You know, just some pre-fucked-up match
for the nights we used to share.
But I don't believe I care.








I shook the hand of the boatman
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt by now







I shook the hand of the boatman
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt by now






I shook the hand of the boatman
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

Strangers In The Wind






These hands
Like strangers in the wind
These eyes
Float in the breeze
These hands
Like strangers in the wind
This voice
Calling to me
These hands
Like strangers in the wind
These eyes
Float in the breeze






Run to the lights of the city
These moments pass and we'll be there
(And she looks good)
Run to the lights of the city
(And she looks good)
This dance will last us forever
Forever






(You could stay for what you came here for
A daze is what you're falling for
You could stay for what you came here for
A daze is what you're falling for
You could stay for what you came here for
A daze is what you're falling for
You could stay for what you came here for
A daze is what you're falling for)







Run to the lights of the city
These moments pass and we'll be there
(And she looks good)
Run to the lights of the city
(And she looks good)
This dance will last us forever
Forever






This dance will last us forever
This dance will last us forever

Compulsion






Charms in limited supply
And refusing to stretch
That indefinable nothing
Somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen





Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front of another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly







Got to move on sometime

Charms in limited supply
Under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing
Somehow motivates you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen






Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front of another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly





Got to move on sometime

Cosmic Country Noir






Look in the mirror that's held out
See the spot that concerns us all
The universal place
Common ground, common space





Have to go through so much violence
To get to that forsaken place
Via this paradox
That space can be attained





Gone the torments, uncertainties
Place where we finally
Agree
