Natural Mystery

Slow down
Broken record
I’m at the party
But I’m hardly an expert
Just pour yourself a drink
And let me tell you about the shape I’m in
No doubt
It’s connected
We’ll trace the source until the line is perfected
Let’s have another drink and let these cigarettes get lost in our lips
Well that’s just how it begins, I guess we’ll see how it ends
In this natural mystery
Why don’t we follow it down
To the place where you sang to me
You sang to me
Keep singing to me
No doubt
It’s electric
Just keep it moving
Til the system rejects it
I know it’s hard to walk that line
But in time
All these things that you feel will be slowly revealed
In this natural mystery
Why don’t we follow it down
To the place where you sang to me
You sang to me
Keep singing to me
It’s a natural mystery
Why don’t we follow it down
It’s a natural mystery
Why don’t we follow it down
It’s so natural
Why don’t we follow it follow it
It’s a natural mystery
Why don’t we follow it down

Just Enough

Watching the sparks splinter the sky
I’m dressed like a flag on the Fourth of July
I’ve been holding my breath every night
Now I’m light in the head for the very first time
And it’s Just Enough
Just Enough
Just Enough
I hope you’re out there somewhere
Cleaning it up cutting your hair
Last time you called me you were blacking out and missing stairs
Baby you should be scared
It’s Just Enough
Just Enough
Just Enough
I’ll leave you alone, it’s clear I’m no good to ya anymore
Don’t even know what I came for
I’m starting to feel like the worst person here
Leaving the bar, counting the cars Thinking of you
Wondering out loud to myself what would you do
Make it feel new
Baby that’s just enough for you

Hanging On

Out here, there’s no sign of relief from all this
Oh the time we had
Was just some time we had
That note that you left on the door is still floating around the house
I tried but it’s hard to ignore and I can’t seem to figure it out
Hanging on,
still hanging on
I’m just hanging on
To my pitiful protest
I’m so
Lost in my fiction
That night that you said you’d forget, we’re still talking about today
Something that you thought I had said, but it’s not even something I’d say
Who cares if you heard it at all, your mind’s made up either way
hanging on
You’re just hanging on
And I’m still hanging on
To my pitiful protest
I’m so
Lost in your fiction
My pitiful protest
I’m so
My pitiful protest
I’m so
My pitiful protest
I’m so lost in my fiction

Ravenous

Keep it up
not having fun anymore
You won’t last half as long here as before
go away
on separate days still alone
you’re only as far as my fingers to my phone
run away
I heard you say but I don’t listen anymore
Won’t listen anymore
please come back
I think I’m having a heart attack
I’ll just say I’m sorry and we’ll make this hard
want it done
this bum or the other one
you say that's not how it works here anyway
you can’t come
Well I’m about to come undone
you say this will work itself out any day
say you’re wrong
Well it takes long before we listen
Why don’t you listen?
Say you’re right
Well here’s the light at the end of the tunnel
are we going forward? are we getting off?
are we going forward? are we getting off?

Hail Mary
03:04

In the summer she woke
With pain in her eyes
Not the listless gaze I’d seen before but some sinister ties
Well my mind drew a blank
Just white all around
Mary was wandering ‘round in some familiar gown
It’s not the mountain we seek but she’ll reach for that peak and I’ll yell across the land with all this fire I keep
Hail Mary. Look at ya now.
She was staring me down
With that ominous look
As if to say she’d found the words but forgot what it took
It was raining outside
So I reached for the sun
And with a steady hand, I felt the heat as she opened her lungs
Hail Mary. Look at ya now. The night is here to take you.
Hail Mary.
We’re singing Ooo la la la Baby
Won’t you lay on down
Oo la la la Baby
Bring the curtain down
Bring it down
She rose from her sleep
To thunderous applause
It was still raining in Jersey when I got in my car
