It Work

I've been waiting trust me when I say it's been a long time coming
And I would not be lying if I said I could wait a little more
But please listen I urge you just hear me out this time
And tell me, what is the very, very last thing about me that is on your mind?
CHORUS:
We will make it work
We will make it work
We will make it work
I will see, you will see (that)
We will make it work
We will make it work
We will make it work
oooohhh
One day you will get tired of the way your life has been
You will examine your connections and ask yourself which ones must change
Some of them, you will cut; some of them, you will repair
But there is one that will stand above them all, and when you know this, I will be there
CHORUS
In the nottoodistant future, you will understand it all
You will hear the words I've said tonight and be sure I made the call
And I will gasp and scream as if I were the least bit surprised
But you and I both know it is not luck that aids the wise
CHORUS

Deserve You More

Have you ever met a man with seven honorary degrees?
They're all MFAs but for the sentimental phD,
and every institution on the list is from the Ivy League.
(The only reason Princeton ain't down is 'cause they're payin' me.)
Just stop lookin' for whatever you're lookin' for.
Nobody you meet is gonna ever deserve you more.
I don't know the details of your little quiz,
but I know that every answer's the same and I know what it is.
Don't try to tell me 'bout the difference 'tween Mrs. and Ms.,
'cause you may not be mine yet, but I guarantee that you ain't his.
Better you just stop lookin' and erase the scores.
Nobody you meet is gonna ever deserve you more.
I have never been surer in all my life,
but does it matter to you if the feelin' doesn't do you right?
I'm not sure how to prove these things to you,
'cause I could talk all night, but who exactly am I talkin' to?
Neither of us know what it is we're lookin' for,
but nobody you meet is gonna ever deserve you more.

Laughs

Sometimes the earth moves underneath the wheels of a train
Freight rolls in place while the weight of the world spins aimlessly below
Careening through the space like an exercise wheel without a cage
With the right set of digits
and the wrong set of rules
you could even get a full time position as guard of the jewels
Sometimes a list of facts can read exactly like a list of lies
Working in the service of a story that the author won't deny
And you will shovel but this coal comes from an endless supply
With the right set of thoughts
and the wrong set of truths
we present a package deal that you simply can't afford to choose
Sometimes a small child will attempt to control an older man
He will kick and he will scream but the child will always gain the upper hand
Sometimes it's a game and at others it's the "last and final" stand
With the right set of words that all mean the same thing
With the wrong set of bells 'cause they're just too dull to ring
And with each and every set comes a different song to sing
So you've got a steady gig but sometimes you can't compete
Because half the country's got the same thing

Set in Stone

you are set in stone but it's not my stone to set
your eyes deceive you
I just can't believe it's true that you would try to organize this coup
but what can I do?
you're the first in line but it's not my line to let in
my eyes deceive me
you're the true believer
you yes, you cannot be shaken loose
ooh it isn't up to you
you are set in stone but it's not my stone to set
words are channeled through you
I could never keep each phrase you said
what are your regrets?
ooh I could make a guess
you're the first in line but it's not my line to let in
words pass beneath me
you could hardly teach me what to say
I'll say "yes" anyway ooh or could be "no" today
yes, you are set in stone but it's not my stone to set
your eyes deceive you
I just can't believe it's true

Green lines with gaps glowing spelling out the brand
In/formation would someone ever need to know?
The factory message must die.
It cycles through the time the time the other time
Entirely it blinks to say it's not alive
The factory message must die.
When I was young when I was young I stared and stared
Now I stare too despite the fact that I know better
The factory message must die.

The Big Interruption
04:14
|
|

|
I fell out of the box suspended by the balloon
As I twisted and turned, air rustled my clothes
I moved and I asked, "Is this all there is?"
I fell and I screamed and it was all there was
CHORUS:
It's something, it's always something
Just one thing to interfere with my plans
I can't tell when it'll happen
When something will interrupt me
I always make a schedule and it always falls apart
I can't say when it'll happen
But I know that it will happen
I swathed myself in a noise and someone knocked at the door
He busted open the lock and he let himself in
He said he ruled the world and didn't care for my thoughts
And then he found the noise and he made it stop
CHORUS

In the Stream
05:30

Just yesterday I lay down in the stream
I noticed that I influenced the flow
What once went past diverted into me
A path ahead was now a link between
And then you came embedded in the liquid
Slowing down, speeding up, then almost standing still
Saw you hesitating as it opened up to me
Talked you into staying course and felt it finally
Nothing is the same
Interrupt is all we do
Space is not the same
Interrupt is all we do
Tomorrow you will lie down in the stream
You'll notice that you influence the flow
And I will come careening down the river
And you will see the intrigue that I mean
Nothing is the same
Interrupt is all we do
Nothing is the same
Interrupt is all we do
And someday we will never need the stream to lie in

Counting Out

One, two, three: did I make the wrong decision?
One, two, three: did I pick the wrong time?
One, two, three: wait for one to go and two to go.
Left is three. Does that make it a crime?
"Fear, you know, is not just a feeling anymore. It's a town, it's a company that runs its own country; it's your life."

just reedemed a download code i had from the vinyl i bought i don't even know how many years ago, and that i found at the bottom of the drawer of my desk while i was cleaning - and everytime i hear the first seconds of Death with dignity, something happens. this album is special, a space for personal recollection working both when you are good and when you aren't, capable of giving a gentle push towards reconnection with the world outside with a renewed, crystalline gaze
