don’t burn your old photographs
they’re not effigies
leave them as a keepsake
as a mistake from days gone by
you know their only reason’s
not just to keep track
of the passing of the seasons
or to remind you
that one day you’ll die
but don’t go off the rails
don’t follow paper trails
on paper ridges
don’t burn your old photographs
they’re not effigies
leave them as a keepsake (leave them as a mistake)
as a mistake from days gone by
don’t burn your old photographs (don't burn your old photographs)
don’t burn your old photographs (don't burn your old photographs)
don’t burn your old photographs (don't burn your old photographs)
don’t burn your old photographs (don't burn your old photographs)

when you dash your foot who’s your angel?
bound hands of soot that dream to pull
and say hey, when the sun shines
I’ll be back for summertime
give you the keys, rule from your mind
paid with spoken tokens,
the bonus helps you unwind
and retire to your rosy shrine
I’ll be back for summertime
call roll when the stream dries
I’ll be back for summertime
when you dash your foot who’s your angel?
bound hands of soot that dream to pull
and say hey, when the sun shines
I’ll be back for summertime
I'll be back for summertime
I'll be back for summertime
I'll be back for summertime

stationary weathervane
preaching of the blackest cloud
look at all this rain
and you're dreaming of the desert now
shadows all around my head
no, I can't stay here, no way
shadows all around my head
no, I can't stay here, no way
heavy drought and patient seeds
waiting for the melting down
take a peek at what you've treed
before it plummets to the ground
circles all around my head
no, I can't sleep here, no way
circles all around my head
no, I can't sleep here, no way
living in the constant stream
carried through a rusted sieve
hymnals of the scattered team
there where the simple live
strangers all around my head
no, I can't die here, no way
strangers all around my head
no, I can't die here, no way
circles all around my head
no, I can't sleep here, no way
shadows all around my head
no, I can't stay here, no way

merry-go-round, round and round
I get so high but you bring me down, down, down
but you make me smile for a little while
until the end of the sugar high
though you pull me up and down
I hold on tight on the merry-go-round
until it’s time, until it‘s time to get off the ride
you’re so sweet you make me sick
like cotton candy, just as sweet, sick, sick
but you make me smile for a little while
until the end of the sugar high
though you pull me up and down
I hold on tight on the merry-go-round
until it’s time, until it‘s time to get off the ride, ride, ride
merry-go-round, round and round
I get so high but you bring me down, down, down
but you make me smile for a little while
until the end of the sugar high
though you pull me up and down
I hold on tight on the merry-go-round
until it’s time, until it‘s time, until it's time, until it's time
though you pull me up and down
I hold on tight on the merry-go-round
until it’s time, until it's time

you can scratch at the door and ask if I'm home
if you can't ever reach me on your telephone
as we tear at the life and we rip at the chance
the stack of the numbers that help us to dance
to the weak winded piper
and the nail sharp singer
scrawling their notes in the sand
hypnotizing us

wave that comes to get you
take you to the isle
shed your weary skin behind
in a splayed uneven pile
praise the dry vacation of your heart
power separating
scared to wander from the hub
humming out the tones you hear
from the windows of the pub
it's the neon sign that loves to light the dark
wander off and sell me
to the judgement seat
they're fast at making lists and charts
and their records are complete
thumb at me, voice for someone else
far past caring for yourself
sunbeam loving stringbait
splashing in the shallow end
swinging wild at open mouths
but your shield is pretend
the one behind is happy bound and tied
and the one ahead is laughing cause you tried
and your finest friend is telling you you died
sipping your smokes and wearing your other hide

thieves of the dark berries
early rising sons of papermakers
ink wasters
spitting through their feedbag talking to me
broken of the bit, hear us as we quit
longing for a wave of chance to take us where we sit
focused on the ground, head in the sound
waiting for a sailing ship to bring me back a pound
if you write them every day they'll send you away
write them every month but be careful what you say

build your house on a little stone
dry as dust at the tearless home
stand up straight and bat the ball
eat the flesh and drink the gall
one sacrifice won't pay the rent
I wonder where salvation went
he's eating with an unwashed crowd
tearing moneychangers down
I am here for I am here
and only God I'll fear
follow they that do deny
you expect at least a lie
a lie a lie

onto the patio, two flights down
dancing on a fire escape
proclaiming the great handout
swinging sides, quickest feet,
laughing hands, jolly face
a drop in her bucket,
a passing doubt
and hear on faintly down the street
and fainter as you go
picture the colors and motions
as they stretch and bow
wander like a wheel on a crooked floor
and nest in the lowlands
where they crawl for the door
