The ball is dancing to the jazz
While everyone is getting strange
The sun is giving up the fight
Suddenly the colors change
Brush your hand along the wall
The hallway light is hard to find
The clock is lurching like a drunk
Free dimensions of the mind
Sanding off the rust
Love in wanderlust
Whatever happened to the hour?
I woke up in a stranger's bed
In a room without a soul
The architect has lost her head
Turn the corner, watch it shrink
This house is shifting all the time
I think I'll lay down on the floor
And contemplate the hill to climb
Sanding off the rust
Love in wanderlust
Someone must have turned the dial
I heard a distant voice in pain
I threw a log into the fire
I need it warmer than the rain
I heard the news today oh boy
Ten thousand people maybe more
A quiet storm to break the day
While I'm still rooted to the floor
Sanding off the rust
Love in wanderlust

Watertight

I hadn't turned around since the wind died
Stay the course til yer tired of the old tide
I could never decide how to slide along
Until I heard you singing out a song
Look at you you're skating up the avenue
Cutting out all the words that you never knew
I was struck by the sight of the downside
When I heard you slipping outta time
Speaking of the brightest light
I don't mind the sight alright
Yer watertight, don't be polite
I don't mind the sight alright
Stretching out in the light of the afterglow
Take a minute to slow down yer vertigo
You were tied up, exposed to a warm breeze
Suddenly yer rattling the trees
I found your note on the back of the envelope
I taught myself all the knots on a length of rope
You could never disguise how you energize
Once you wrapped up the bow on yer surprise
Speaking of the brightest light
I don't mind the sight alright
Yer watertight, don't be polite
I don't mind the sight alright
Gazing over the sprawl at the sunrise
There's a look in your eyes meant to advertise
That there's plenty of time to take a slow dive
Spin the patterns that make you feel alive
Speaking of the brightest light
I don't mind the sight alright
Yer watertight, don't be polite
I don't mind the sight alright

You Are Not Alone

You're an orange on an apple tree
There's no time to hang around
You let go to catch another breeze
You don't have to touch the ground
You are not alone
It's well known that your cover's blown
Time to go outside
And sit beside the rising tide
In the circuit of your symphony
The electrons are so slow
You plug yourself into the life support
And de-tune your radio
You are not alone
It's well known that your cover's blown
Time to go outside
And sit beside the rising tide
You are not alone
It's well known that your cover's blown
Time to go outside
And sit beside the rising tide

Lioness on the Moon

I'll pull the blindfold down
I see the crown around
The frame of your face at night
Despite the sight of your spotlight
Lioness on the moon
Why'd we warm up the atmosphere
Just to ride a weather balloon?
You're arcing into the sky
You disappear all the daily grind
With every little death you survive
It's just a matter of time
Floating in the sunshine
Turning off for a day
I hear the laughter of the wolves
The fox is getting away
I wouldn't wanna disguise
The sound you make when you spit fire
A love that I recognize
It's just a matter of time
Floating in the sunshine
I'll put the blindfold on
As you trace the ink outline
The path describes a shape I've seen
Not quite asleep but in-between

Watch the water dripping from the branches
All the ice is melting, why are we still standing on it?
Pull a seat up, occupy my ego
Don't forget to turn the light off when you're leaving
Paint an image with yer narrative mind
You were kind of lost in the softer focus
Knuckle down and don't look backwards tonight
You're a lightning bolt in the forest
Kick the door in
Let the smoke out
Of my ego
'Til the blackout
Listen closer
To the runaway
She's got something to say
Rolling over, dig a hole for yourself
Breathing easy just for a minute longer
Stop a moment, the momentum
I can see you glance over your shoulder
Kick the door in
Let the smoke out
Of my ego
'Til the blackout
Listen closer
To the runaway
She's got something to say
I believe you, I've seen it happen before
It's an uphill fight to get a word in edgewise
It's a struggle to move the needle
But it's better than sitting on the sidelines
Kick the door in
Let the smoke out
Of my ego
'Til the blackout
Listen closer
To the runaway
She's got something to say

I've been scanning the sky
Looking for a flash, a signal, a light
All this dust in my eyes
The crater's nearby, a meteorite
It's getting harder to breathe,
Harder than I want, want it to be
I hope this is a dream
Your crocodile smile, show me your teeth
If anyone can hear me I could use a ride
Space Station Inspector
Slash trash collector
All I see is in monochrome
I know the shape of your face
An old print of your voice on vintage cassette
Press the panel in place
Write myself a note so I won't forget
When I turn on your eyes
I swear I see a spark, a quick sign of life
But your battery died
The atmosphere is cold, it cuts like a knife
If anyone can hear me I could use a ride
Space Station Inspector
Slash trash collector
All I see is in monochrome
Job description
Temp position
All I need is a ride back home
I didn't sign up for this
