Sometimes II
03:18

You have been dreaming
of your own demise
sleeping in a tent out by the old train station
in the morning you walk over to the REI bathrooms
to wash your face
you try to steal some gloves
but they catch you again
When you walk toward town
everything looks the same
you have lost all connection to this place
Sometimes thats the way things go
Sometimes thats the way things go
Sometimes thats the way things go
In the evening the sky turns orange
then purple, then grey
On go the streetlights
turning each building a different color
Later that night
you try to sneak into one of those fancy hotel on the square
but the doorman throws you out
Sometimes things go this way
sometimes things go this way
sometimes things go this way

Rainbow Tattoo Cult

Every time the sun comes up
you get these flashbacks
and all the flashbacks
are about that summer
You took a job working at the Santa Fe Opera
Tonight you are testing your luck
at the casino after work
you drank just a little too much
or just enough
when the sun came up
you knew how the day was going to go
probably not well
You had a little x on your forehead
you may have joined a cult
you have all these new contacts in your phone
someone named Rainbow
someone named Cheyanne
and your tongue was stained blue
your tongue was stained blue
your eyes were still bloodshot
and you are not wearing any shoes
and you have a tattoo of a rainbow
on your ankle
At work the next day
everyone is invisible to you
and you still aren't wearing any shoes
and your tongue is stained blue
there is a voice that tells you what to do
Five years on you still got that rainbow tattoo
you still got that rainbow tattoo
you still got that rainbow tattoo

We snuck into the church
right before it was to close
we hid out underneath one of the pews
when they locked up
we had our run of the place
we drank all the communion wine
and you passed out with a rosary around your neck
and your arm across your chest
I said a prayer for you
and I went to sleep too
oh yeah I went to sleep too
We woke up early Sunday morning
the priest was tapping on your leg
we got kicked out and walked down toward the square
I was still so hungover from that wine
that I couldn't see five feet in front of me
we sat down on a bench
and watched the morning come in
and watched the birds fly off south
oh you said a prayer for them
and I said a prayer for them too

Washout
02:28
|

And then the rains came
over the mountain
you tried to hold your breath in
just for a moment
Here on this street you know the way
you are trying to drive
drive somewhere
somewhere out of here
And then the rain it keeps coming
it washes out the road
it washes out the highway
and the way out over the mountains
you are just trying to find somewhere
you are just trying
you are just trying to find somewhere
to go
Oh it was a washout
It was a washout
It was a washout everywhere
It was a washout everywhere
You are still trying to pack your bags
you are still trying to keep the water out
It was a washout
It was a washout
everywhere

No More Windows
02:15
|
|||
You keep trying to outrun police cars
but they are too fast
you turn the corner
and see those lights again
and duck into an alleyway
Into the store from the back door
and try to hide in the beer closet
but of course they find you
In the drream you were five years old again
in the dream everything is different
Oh you stare at the walls
There are no more windows
there are no more walls
The lights go out again
you stare at your feet
and then fall asleep and dream
No more windows
No more windows

Crisis of Faith
01:22
|

I'm trying
I'm having a crisis of faith
right now
You look up at the church
in the last bit of daylight
the streetlights come on
the moon keeps rising
in the sky
You see something
or maybe you see
you see nothing
I see nothing
I see nothing too
I'm having a crisis of faith
the sky gets real dark
you have nowhere to go
and I don't have anywhere to go either

The Morning, Faintly
01:52
|
|||
Oh you are just trying
to put your head on someone's shoulder
and fall asleep for a little while
fall asleep because you haven't slept for so long
You walk by a church and then another church
all the buildings look the same
all the buildings look the same
oh you see the morning
faintly out in the ether
you see the morning
faintly
oh you, you are not going to sleep
you are not catching any sleep
If you had your way things would be different
you buy one of those sandwiches they sell at that store
you are not getting any sleep
and there are some colors in the corner of your eye
