BLOOD MONEY RUN AND THE SUN IS COMING UP
RADIO TOWERS IN THE SKY AND THE LIGHTNING HUNTS
AND THE AIR IN HERE IS HOT AS HELL
I GO TO SLEEP MAD AND IM MAD WHEN I WAKE UP
CAUSE WHAT I HAD IS GONE AND WHAT I HAVE JUST NOT ENOUGH
GOTDAMN I CANT TELL
LETS TALK
TALK SOMETIME
TELL ME BOUT YOUR WORLD
AND ILL TELL U ABOUT MINE
THERES A TRAIN THAT COMES FOR ALL OF US
DONT PLAY DUMB
U KNOW IT COMES
YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ME WELL
BUT NOT WELL ENOUGH
CAUSE I DEFINE A DREAM AS A THING YOU MUST GIVE UP
LEAVE ME ALONE
THE MORE U RUB THE STONE ON THE BLADE
THE DEEPER IT CUTS
AND IVE ALREADY SOLD EVERYTHING BUT THE THINGS I CAN NOT TOUCH
SOMEWHERE THE RING OF A PHONE
LETS TALK
TALK SOMETIME
TELL ME BOUT YOUR WORLD
AND ILL TELL U ABOUT MINE
THERES A TRAIN THAT COMES FOR ALL OF US
DONT PLAY DUMB
U KNOW IT COMES

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN’T BURY YOUR DEAD RIGHT
TIL THERE’S ROCKS ON YOUR SPADE THROWING SPARKS
IT WON’T DUE TO HAVE FOOD AFTER MIDNIGHT
THE WOLVES WILL TEAR THE BODY APART
STILL YOU CAN’T BE A DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS
OR A TOURIST IN THE WATER WITH THE SHARKS
GO HEAD UP WITH FEAR GET YOUR HEAD RIGHT
AND LET THE MONSTERS COME OUT FROM THE DARK
LET THEM UNDERSTAND THAT IN DAYLIGHT
THERE’S A WAY FOR THEM TO PLAY A PART
POSSUM HANGING BY HIS TAIL IN THE MOON RAYS
GATHERING INFO AND MAKING CHECK MARKS
SO HE CAN BE AHEAD WHEN THE CALLS MADE
AND SEEM TO MAGICALLY HAVE KNOWN FROM THE START
WHY DO PIGEONS RETURN TO THEIR HOME BASE
IS IT THE CAGE WITH IT’S ELEGANCE AND ARC?
GO HEAD UP WITH FEAR GET YOUR HEAD RIGHT
AND LET THE MONSTERS COME OUT FROM THE DARK
LET THEM UNDERSTAND THAT IN DAYLIGHT
THERES A WAY FOR THEM TO PLAY A PART
YOU COME TO IT FLYING IN SIDEWAYS
THEY JUST CAN’T PIN YOU DOWN IN COURT
BUT WHEN ECHOS REPORT DOWN THE HALLWAYS
THE HOUSE WILL HAVE BEEN MADE TO TAKE A SHORT
MAKING MOVES BEHIND A SUITCASE
A SALESMAN CAN NOT LISTEN TO HIS HEART
GO HEAD UP WITH FEAR GET YOUR HEAD RIGHT
AND LET THE MONSTERS COME OUT FROM THE DARK
LET THEM UNDERSTAND THAT IN DAYLIGHT
THERES A WAY FOR THEM TO PLAY A PART

THEY SAY THAT THINGS JUST CAN NOT GROW
BENEATH THE WINTER SNOW
OR SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD
THEY SAY WE’RE VERY FAR
JUST LIKE A DISTANT STAR
YOU CAN NOT HOLD
TRANSPORT YOURSELF WHERE I GO
LIKE FROM FAR IN AWAY IN THE GREAT HUDSON COLD
THAT LANDSCAPE IS GRAY AND THEM BARGES MOVE SLOW
FROM THE LONG ISLAND SOUND THOUGH THE RIVER IS FROZE
AND THAT FOGHORN COMES DOWN ON THE WIND AND THE SNOW
LIKE THE SOUND OF THE SORROW FROM THE DEPTH OF MY SOUL
AND I MOVE ON IN SILENCE FROM THE CRY OF THE GULLS
WITH THE CHARGE AND THE MUSIC LIVE PROUD IN MY BONES
AND THE MEMORY OF THE WHALE AND THE VEIN AND THE HULL
AND NOTHING MORE SACRED THAN BEING ALONE
AND THAT’S THE PLACE WHERE I COME FROM
AND THE PLACE WHERE I’LL GO
THEY SAY THAT THINGS JUST CAN NOT GROW
BENEATH THE WINTER SNOW
OR SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD
THEY SAY WE’RE VERY FAR
JUST LIKE A DISTANT STAR
YOU CAN NOT HOLD
FOLLOW ME AND IMA TELL YOU HOW IT GOES
WAY OUT IN THE STICKS DOWN ON BONE PLAIN ROAD
JUMPING BMX BIKES AND WATCHING BOTTLES EXPLODE
WHEN WE’D FILL THEM WITH GAS, LIT THE RAG, THEN WE’D THROW
AND THE TAR PAPER HOME AND THE CADILLAC SOLD
TO SIT IN TALL GRASS WITH THE RATS GETTING OLD
AND WE’D SIT IN THE FRONT PRETEND TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD
AND THE GROWN FOLKS HAD FACTS THAT THEY COULDN’T DISCLOSE
ABOUT THE NATURE OF ACTS THAT YOU CAN NOT CONTROL
WE’D GO OUT IN THE BACK AND GET LOST IN THE GLOW
AND DARK WOULD COME DOWN AND MA’D CALL US HOME
AND THAT’S THE PLACE WHERE I COME FROM
AND THE PLACE THAT I KNOW
AND THAT’S THE PLACE WHERE I COME FROM
AND THE PLACE WHERE I’LL GO
AND THE PLACE WHERE I’LL GO

WILL YOU WALK ON WATER FOR FREE
FROM THE BATTLESHIP DECKS SO CLEAN
DOWN TO WHERE THE SEA IS DEEPER GREEN
THAN ENVY
WILL YOU STAND ALONE AND LEAD
AND CARRY THE TORCH OF A DREAM
THROUGH EVERY STITCH IN THE SEAM
FOR CENTURIES
WILL YOU COME BACK AROUND BY DEGREES
RIDE THE BIG WAVE OUTTA THE TREES
TO PUT THE WHAT BACK IN WHAT IT ALL MEANS
IT’S MESSY
I KNOW A BUM WITH A LONG BLACK TOOTH
HE PUTS THE RUM IN THE SOCK AND THE GUN BY THE STOOP
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE ON HIS BLOCK, NOT AT ALL
THE RATS ARE FAT AND THE GLASS IS BULLET PROOF
YOU CAN GET LOST OVER THERE
DISAPPEAR AND TURN UP SOMEWHERE IN 30 YEARS
WITH THE PIGEONS IN A COOP
THE LOSSES ARE PLENTY
THE STORY IS MANY
YOU’RE GONNA WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN IT ENDS
CAN YOU CONQUER THE SLOW MINDS OF OLD
EXHIBIT THE SICKNESS NOT THE COMMON COLD
AND MOVE WITH THE QUICKNESS WHEN IT’S TIME TO ROLL
WITH MACHETES
CAN YOU TOLERATE THE FOLD
CLIMB ALL THE WAY UP TO BEHOLD
IT’S JUST SOME STRAW IN AN OLD SCARE CROW
AND A COPPER PENNY
CAN YOU REACH AS HIGH AS HIGH AS YOU CAN GO
WITH EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT IN YOUR SOUL
JUST TO CRUMBLE DOWN INTO THE EARTH
LIKE CHARCOAL FROM A CHIMNEY
I KNOW A BUM WITH A LONG BLACK TOOTH
HE PUTS THE RUM IN THE SOCK AND THE GUN BY THE STOOP
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE ON HIS BLOCK, NOT AT ALL
THE RATS ARE FAT AND THE GLASS IS BULLET PROOF
YOU CAN GET LOST OVER THERE
DISAPPEAR AND TURN UP SOMEWHERE
IN 30 YEARS WITH THE PIGEONS IN A COOP
THE LOSSES ARE PLENTY
THE STORY IS MANY
YOU’RE GONNA WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN IT ENDS
