Worthwhile
I let the sunrise drip in through my blinds
And onto my arms, and into my eyes
And if I lie back, checkout, take a ride
Then I know I’m going somewhere worthwhile

Stomp Thy Foot Twice, You Poor Poor
Ethernet Cord You
I can see it how
Blowing around the now
Feel it on your—
Your lifelessness is fitted
Nicely around my neck
Through the mountaintops
On your big bright watch
Gaze around then stop
Valleys have come and gone
Ethernet Cords they run
I’ll tie it around your—
Your lifelessness is fitted
Gently around my neck
I’ve seen it come and go
Lost on Venus though
Evil pianos sing—
Your lifelessness is fitted
Nicely around my neck
Your lifelessness is fitted
Gently around my neck

Lineworker
I’ve got 20 odd dollars in my pocket
Eyes on the floor, nose by my wallet
I’ve got 20 odd dollars in my pocket
Eyes on the floor, nose by my wallet
Oh night and day
Keeps a working rate
Oh who they are—
They must not reach for the stars
I’ve got 20 odd dollars in my pocket
Eye on the floor, nose by my wallet
I’ve got 20 odd dollars in my pocket
Eyes on the floor, nose by my jacket pocket
Oh night and day
Keeps a working rate
Oh who they are—
They must not reach for the stars

Falling Down
Mister Mister wanted some fun
He tried to tear out the senator’s tongue
Senator laughed as he grabbed his hand
On he slipped a wedding band
We’re all just falling Down
Light shine bright, police at dawn
They tried to mow down the Kingpin’s Lawn
The Kingpin screamed “what’s first is last!”
Police they cried! The Stockmarket crashed
We’re all just falling down
Falling Down
Run like a rabbit
Fly Like an Eagle
I was a broke man
Till I found my wallet
The killer awoke with a start and that’s when I left
Walking on water foot by foot
Kindergarten kills and good whales spill into the ocean depths
That’s where I found my dress
Mister Mister wanted some fun
He tried to tear out the senator’s tongue
The Senator laughed as he grabbed his hand
And on he slipped a wedding band
We’re all just falling down

Neapolitan Sunset
Do you know which way the wind blows?
It blows across my face
Do you know which way the rain falls?
It falls down on my head
Of my Neapolitan Sunset
Am I losing my mind?
Do you know which way the grass the grows?
It grows below my feet
Do you know which way the birds fly?
They fly east of the clouds
Of the Neapolitan Sunset
Am I losing my mind?
Oh Lord—
Do I fight this war?
Will I know
Who I’m fighting for?
Do you know which way the street lies?
It lies past my hands
Do you know which way these signs point?
They point past my face
Of my Neapolitan Sunset
Am I losing my mind?
Can you hear me now?

Do I Belong
I heard a pretty whisper
In in my ear
I heard God calling
It brought to tears
Hey, you in that plastic chair
Do I Belong
Here
I see people walking
Like ants in the wind
I bought my happiness
Instead of some friends
Hey, you in that plastic chair
Do I Belong
Here
Do I Belong
Here

The Ballad of Paper Jack
I’m going home
I’m going home
Don’t like this place so much you know
I’m going home
There isn’t a day gone by
Where I don’t think about you slightly
There isn’t a moment pass
Where I can’t feel your touch lightly
I’m going home
I’m going home
Don’t like this place so much you know
I’m going home
Solve my problems with barbed wire
Teeth first I found truth in the fire
Take me back before the sun goes down
I don’t got much left here in my bones
I’m going home
There isn’t a bird’s song
I can remember since I left you
There isn’t a sound I’ve heard
Like the silence standing next to you
I’m going home
I’m going home
I don’t like this place so much you know
I’m going home
(Take me back, Paper Jack)
