Tulsa Telephone Book lyrics

Have you read any good telephone books lately?
if you ain't then let me recommend one
i've already read that tulsa telephone book thirteen times
if you don't know any last names it ain't much fun
readin' that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
i gotta find her and tell her, i don't want our love to end

Wash lyrics

Light shines through darker days
eyes close and lose their way
slip away the night
while the whole town's asleep
caught between the space
where you wanted to be
death acts and life reacts
spent time turning looking back
clues along the track
leave the following kind
the ground that seems to be new
winding up the same every time

Glimpse lyrics

You're looking in the mirror on your wall

Low Expectations lyrics

When it's getting way too late
there's nothing on the slate
you've got to take another break
step out of the room
into the street lit by the moon

walk down to the tombs
open the windows
no one said that that time would come
to finish what's begun
things get done when they get done
there's no use in worry
for a heart that's in a hurry
hang the jury inside out to dry

Point Vicente lyrics

She swings on the front porch
and sweeps her days into an empty sky
of a dream drowned in the rain
out where the land is as flat as the sea
there's a train pulling out west
and a box of money stashed under the bed

up through the pines
and down into the city of light
where the world spins on a string
the weave of lovers weave meet their fate

Removed lyrics

Follow the current through the city that lies in ruins
bottle is washed up but the message is missing
heroes and ghosts, graveyards and buildings
pay the price of admission

haunted for years in a hallway of mirrors
till i step through the window
over the river, coat of feathers sweeping out of view
weigh the difference, the scales are turned
let conscience be so judged

Sanchez lyrics

Going on their lands for sale to stake my claim
burn my name in the soil
out past the borders beyond the hill
through seasons of nothing
safe for the self-destructive world
memories get altered
no point of reference to hold
and it feels like someone is watching
asi tear into the skin of innoncence
and decadence for awhile
so we settled in and half the veins where blood runs pure

Slag lyrics

Put the pedal to the metal

Spokes lyrics

Started talking
to a couple of wedded strangers
sitting down on motorcycles
who passed on the highway

stepped into
the service station
took a piss, got water
bought fuel to ride

blood is flowing
and mountains are blurring
there is something stirring
way down inside

barely know
my homebase home
seems i'm rarely there
for any share of time

the neighborhood's the same

Windjammer lyrics

The windjammer is speeding up

Mind The Gap lyrics

(Field recording from prague subway station)
