the riealela diane

Ive been knockin on that door in my sleep

Fighting the replace glow

Knockin on that door in my sleep

Fighting the replace glow

To keep me away

To keep me away from home

Papa, get the rie from its place above the French doors

Theyre comin from the woods!

Oh! Theyre comin from the woods!

And Mama youre running tooOh! My mama, youre running too

Brother, Im so sorry that you watched the paintings burn

Ive been holding onto the gold

When letting go would free my hand

And Ive been tying your tongue in a knot

Oh! Ive been tying your tongue in a knot

To wrap this deathTo wrap this death in a sheet

Papa, get the rie from its place above the French doors

Theyre comin from the woods!

Oh! Theyre comin from the woods!

And mama youre running too

Oh! My mama, youre running too

Brother, Im so sorry that you watched the paintings burn

I cant hide the dirty paths down that carpet anymore

There were too many heavy boots

There were too many heavy boots

There were too many big black boots

And there were too many little brown shoes

Marching through

So Im counting it to the sky

Oh! Im counting it to the sky

And moving back to face the lack of home

this is the lieamy macdonald

Oh the wind whistles down the cold dark street tonight

And the people they were dancing to the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair

While the shocked too many sit way over thereAnd the songs get louder each one better than before

And you singing the song thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight

So youre heading down the road in your taxi for 4And youre waiting outside jimmys front door

But nobodys in and nobodys home till 4

So youre sitting there with nothing to do

Talking about Robert Ragger and his 1 leg crew

And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?


And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the sizeOh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?



Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight



Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

solitary gunrogue wave

Will I follow you down the line?

Will I follow you down the line?

Stepped off the train and looked for Fruitvale signs

The January air it whips across my spine

Weve been suffering the six days since he died

I saw a picture of his mother as she cried

Go to where the people go

Well dig some piece of mindAnd it burns, hot, real

To feel this feel

Theyre setting clothes to ame, an imaginary sun

Theyll lay their boot heel down for a solitary gun

The hand that punches its own face, it begs for more again

Shot echoed lonely from a solitary gun

Shops are looted and the windows are broken ice

She said Its emotional but its not nice

Will you be the bed for me when they set the world on re

Just to see it burn

In a consolation urn

And my stomach turns to steel

Theyre setting clothes to ame, an imaginary sunTheyll lay their boot heel down for a solitary gun

This moment doesnt happen every night


This brothers sisters mothers business is all gone

Stepped on her neck when we used to just sing songs

Were setting clothes to ame, an imaginary sunTheyll lay their boot heel down for a solitary gun

This moment doesnt happen every night

quarry hymnland of talk

Leaving on the hottest day

To sink this quarry under

With the motor on the private ringLie and quell your kingdom

Wrote it on the stolen heart

I couldnt keep the words in you

You had to learn about the hardest things

A softer side Ill leave you

And on days like these

I could take apart my windowSo let down, I was so let down

How deep is this hole I feel Im in?

Seen the lights out

Dont go out with them

In the least of the louder

Eyes was on the roadAnd the deep and the sweet heart

I couldnt keep the word in you

You can drive in and drive back

Pull the past behind you

You wanna leave, I got it bad

You can drive in and drive back

How deep is this hole I feel Im in?Seen the lights out


Lately well look to call

And be on our way

Maybe we can draw this out

Over dark disarray

How deep is this hole I feel Im in?

Seen the lights out

i am not a robotmarina and the diamonds

Youve been acting awful tough lately

Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately

But inside, youre just a little baby

Its okay to say youve got a weak spot

You dont always have to be on topBetter to be hated than love, love, loved for what youre not

Youre vulnerable, youre vulnerable

You are not a robot

Youre loveable, so loveable

But youre just troubled

Guess what? Im not a robot, a robotGuess what? Im not a robot, a robot

Youve been hanging with the unloved kids

Who you never really liked and you never trusted

But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins

Never committing to anything

You dont pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings

Dont be so pathetic, just open up and sing

Im vulnerable, Im vulnerable

I am not a robot

Youre loveable, so loveable

But youre just troubled

Guess what? Im not a robot, a robot

Guess what? Im not a robot, a robotCan you teach me how to feel real?

Can you turn my power on?

Well, let the drum beat drop

Guess what? Im not a robot

Guess what? Im not a robot

Guess what? Im not a robot, a robotGuess what? Im not a robot, a robot

upside downpaloma faith

Angels watching over me with smiles upon their face

Cause I have made it through this far in an unforgiving place

It feels sometimes this hills too steep for a girl like me to climb

But I must knock those thoughts right down Ill do it in my own time

I dont careIm half way there

On a road that leads me to straight to who knows where

I tell you what

What I have found

That Im no fool

Im just upside down

Aint got no cares

I aint got no rules

I think I like

Living upside down

Watchin people scurry by rushing to and fro

Oh this world is such a crazy place its all about the go go go

Sometimes life can taste so sweet when you slow it down

You start to see the world a little differently when you turn it upside down

I dont care

Im half way there

And Im just soaking up the magic in the air

I tell you what

What I have foundThat Im no fool

Im just upside down

Aint got no cares

I aint got no rules

I think I like

Living upside down

You gotta slow it down

But then you pick it up

Cmon and try a little topsy-turvy back-to-front the right way round

twothe antlers

In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up

When a doctor came to tell me, Enough is enough

But when I went to the hall (I could have sworn it was haunted)

And told me something that I didnt know that I wanted to hear:

That there was nothing that I could do to save you

The choirs gonna to sing, and this thing is going to kill you

Something in my throat made my next words shake a

And something in the wires made the lightbulbs break

There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling

It opened up the scars that had just nished healing

It tore apart the canyon running down your femur

(I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer)

And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room

But I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew

When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the painYou came to hating me again and just sang your refrain

[chorus]

Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy

Wearing silver rings with nobody clapping

When we moved here together we were so disappointed

Sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed

It killed me to see you getting always rejectedBut I didnt mind the things you threw, the phones I deected

I didnt mind you blaming me for your mistakes

I just held you in the door-frame through all of the earthquakes

But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night

And I would try to grab your ankles (what a pitiful sight)

But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you

From stomping out that door, coming back like you always do

Well no ones going to x it for us, no one canYou say that, No ones going to listen, and no one understands

So theres no open doors and theres no way to get through

Theres no other witnesses, just us two

Theres two people living in one small room

From your two half-families tearing at you

Two ways to tell the story (no one worries)

Two silver rings on our ngers in a hurry

Two people talking inside your brain

Two people believing that Im the one to blame

Two different voices coming out of your mouth

While Im too cold to care and too sick to shout

drop those legsthe recital

Drop those legs

Were stepping on crackin eggs

Were trading a short connection

Giving me

The signals are here for me

Were crossing an intersection

Lets not teaseCause accidents come in threes

I think you need big protection

Silence has a lot to say

Miles of windows every day

All around you

Drop those sleevesWere staying til winter leaves

I only need one reaction

Heads and hearts

One ends and another starts

Its easy, its satisfaction

Silence has a lot to sayMiles of windows every day

All around you

Drop those legs

Were stepping on crackin eggs

Were trading a short connection

Lets not teaseCause accidents come in threes

I think you need big protection

Why you bein a dickhead for?

Stop bein a dickhead


Youre just fuckin up situations

Why you bein a dickhead for?Stop bein a dickhead



Shiny oor, slippery feet

Lights are dim, my eyes cant meet

The reection that turns my images

Upside down so I cant see

Think you know everything

You really dont know nothing

I wish that you were more intelligent

So you could see that what youre doin

Is so shitty to me

Thirty ve people couldnt countOn two hands the amount of times

You made me stop, stop and think

Why are you bein such a dickhead for?

Stop bein a dickhead



Why you bein a dickhead for?Stop bein a dickhead



Stop, but dont show, just have a think before you

Will you, stop, now dont show, just have a think before you

Will you stop, no dont show, just have a think before you

Will you stop it, oh, will you just have a think before you

My brain and my bones, dont want to take this anymore

No, my brain and my bones, dont want to take this anymore

when they fght, they fghtgenerationals

When they ght, they ght

And when they come home at night they say,

i love you, baby.

Was it too much too soon,

Or too little too late?

He got the message she left on his car, in the rain.

And then the words they come to you,

driving away.

You just cant let it go.

And when they ght, they ght,

And when they come home at night they say,i love you, baby.

And when it all comes crashing down,

what can you do,

to nd what youre looking for?

And then the words will come to you,

driving through the rain.

But therell be no one there to say them to anyway.

the best treasure stays buriedzoey van goey

With that we got it

Were undefeated

Give me a long kiss

Like you mean it

A little bloodshedBut it was worth it

We made a promise

After this wed quit

Turn on the motor

Keep off the headlights

To the cabin

In the cover of night

Slow down

Wheels on the gravel

Use the key

Hidden in the panel

Wood stove

Like a warm heartWall shadows

This is the best part

Put it in the chest

Under the trapdoor

Unroll the carpet

Across the cold oor

Like we planned it

When the clock chimes

Turn around once

And tap three times

Remember itll all blow over

Well meet again when the temperature is lower

If we dont turn each other in dearWell be ne

Time to disappear

outro with bees (reprise)neko case

Hows hope feeling today

Tired and sick of this place

Red wine is fast

At the lip of your glass

Saying Im going to ruin

Everything

Everything

So its better my sweet

That we hover like beesCause theres no sure footing

No love, I believe
