Comet Ride
Comet doesn’t know when you get your feelings hurt
He’s busy sending love as he rides across the night
Comet can’t tell if you will harm your eyes
Watchin’ him fly free like a banner of light
They say he dealt with the devil
And I don’t think that’s true
The Heart of the Comet
Doesn’t burn for you
His mind isn’t lost
It’s on the cosmic train
Interplanetary… doesn’t mean insane
When Comet took off, he’d never land again
Never head back home, never phone a friend.
Tails of flame made of ten thousand stars
Roar like a rocket fueled without an end
They say he dealt with the devil
And I don’t think that’s true
The Heart of the Comet
Doesn’t burn for you
His mind isn’t lost
It’s on the cosmic train
Interplanetary… doesn’t mean insane
Careful when you say where he comes from
A spell of livin’ hums around his door
You can leap your fence if you build it low
Oceans move in glaciers don’t ya know?
They say he dealt with the devil
And I don’t think that’s true
The Heart of the Comet
Doesn’t burn for you
His mind isn’t lost
It’s on the cosmic train
Interplanetary… doesn’t mean insane
His mind isn’t lost
It’s on the cosmic train
Interplanetary… doesn’t mean insane
Goin’ On 2002
When we were young it was easy
Everybody came around
Joyful, nothin’ could faze me
Every day was found
It’s funny how we lull into
what we think will never end
Little fears we never knew
Are outside floatin’ in
You can say that it’s too late!
Look at all we need to do!
I say let me elevate
Goin’ on 2002
Maybe regrets are the same thing
As choices we had to make
Maybe when we stop and we still sing…
Roll it for another take!
I used to lay awake at night
Thinkin’ bout where we would go
Now I see the same light
I feel it comin’ in close
You can say that it’s too late!
Think of all we need to do
I say let me elevate
Goin’ on 2002!
I say let me elevate!
Look at all we need to do!
You can say that it’s too late
Goin’ on 2002
Funny how we lull into
what we think will never end
Little fears we never knew
Are outside floatin’ in
Miracle
It’s a miracle when you know what you want to do
It could hit you nearly any day
Startin’ out young, you might get the real voodoo
Or you might melt into midlife decay
I was wastin’ time on what had gone by
Thinkin’ that could change what happens here
I looked up, and there was only one guy
Who knew what in the world there is to fear
In Carolina, the best month is October
You can still swim, and you can be barefoot all night
It didn’t even matter that I was three weeks sober
Stayin’ up pickin’ n’ grinnin’ and we were all right
What could be any better than a group song,
Time wrapped so tight around our tongue?
The only life we have- it has to be long
enough to make sure nothing’s left unsung
In Carolina, the best month is October
You can still swim, and you can be barefoot all night
It didn’t even matter that I was three weeks sober
Stayin’ up pickin’ n’ grinnin’ and we were all right
Stayin’ up pickin’ n’ grinnin’ and we were all right
A Crime
Hey now! You keep sayin’
that it’s gonna happen one of these days
If I didn’t know just a little bit better
I would think you were quellin’ my fate
Hey now! Remember
when all we needed was the time?
Now that we are going
well, every moment is a crime
And I tried to compromise
I gave a bunch of lies
You wore your disguise
yeah, ya did
Now that we found out
where the sound bounces from the crowd
Well there ain’t no place to flout
we gotta go do it
gotta get to it
gotta go
we gotta go do it
gotta get to it
gotta go
Hey now! You keep sayin’
that it’s gonna happen one of these days
If I didn’t know just a little bit better
I would think you were quellin’ my fate
Hey now! Remember
when all we needed was the time?
Now that we are going
well, every moment is a crime
And I tried to compromise
I gave a bunch of lies
You wore your disguise
yeah, ya did
Now that we found out
where the sound bounces from the crowd
Well there ain’t no place to flout
we gotta go do it
gotta get to it
gotta go
we gotta go do it
gotta get to it
gotta go
Hey now! Remember
when all we needed was the time?
Now that we are going
well, every moment is a crime
Unbroken
I can’t listen, I go up in flame
Mountain tops glistenin’ every day just the same
No one’s makin’ me, and that’s why I still go
The only thing breakin’ here is actin’ like we know
Why you… are givin’ me all this rope
It’s true… heaven’s just a little dope
Why… should it be hard to see?
Try… do it for the hominy
Shovel is a good heart, diggin’ me out again
Trouble is a big part, somebody bring a friend!
It’s wide open-
Unbroken-
Nothin’ but a mornin’… wind
You can hop a tall horse, I can ride a billy goat
Sugar on the short lip, baby, I’ll swim the moat
Too damn early to keep bein’ up this late
I only get squirrelly if you tell me after eight
Why you… are givin’ me all this rope
It’s true… heaven’s just a little dope
Why… should it be hard to see?
Try… do it for the hominy
Shovel is a good heart, diggin’ me out again
Trouble is a big part, somebody bring a friend!
It’s wide open-
Unbroken-
Nothin’ but a mornin’… wind
Shovel is a good heart, diggin’ me out again
Trouble is a big part, somebody bring a friend!
It’s wide open-
Unbroken-
Nothin’ but a mornin’… wind
It’s wide open-
Unbroken-
Nothin’ but a mornin’… wind
It’s wide open-
Unbroken-
Nothin’ but a mornin’… wind.
Seein’ Myself
Wakin’ up early, so I can go slow
I feel free when there’s nowhere to go
The morning is risin’, what more could I know?
Heaven is… something new … to make
Thinkin’ bout bourbon, thinkin’ bout wine
The question at hand is no question of mine
A really long run for a really long time
Help me find… a little room to wake…
‘Cuz I’ve got a story and I don’t even know
who in the world’s gonna hear it
My old dreams will continue to flow
’til everything feels like a spirit
I’m too lit up to lay down
wearin’ a song like a crown
I’ll be seein’ myself… right about now
Nighttime works on me like a charm
Sometimes I walk it around on my arm
Something in me like a little alarm
goes off… and I do… what I can
So many things just get thrown away
Could be better to simply not say
Then again … we have to pound on the clay
so it warms… and gets soft… in your hand
I’ve got a story and I don’t even know
who in the world’s gonna hear it
My old dreams will continue to flow
’til everything feels like a spirit
too lit up to lay down
wearin’ a song like a crown
I’ll be seein’ myself… right about now
I’ve got a story and I don’t even know
who in the world’s gonna hear it
My old dreams will continue to flow
’til everything feels like a spirit
too lit up to lay down
wearin’ a song like a crown
I’ll be seein’ myself… right about now
too lit up to lay down
wearin’ a song like a crown
I’ll be seein’ myself around … right about now
