A paper leopard spots his hiding place But we’re too loud to live inside his space Deep purple roses masquerade as thorns To cloak their pricks Warm summer breeze calls out his name ‘cause he’s to blame Gymnastic kites engage the pale-blue sky With tales of gold Explorers blaze a new frontier Bright painted lamps Illuminate his form, unrecognized The captain cocks his head to hear That which he holds dear And all the while He was just slightly out of view Give us a smile His bloodshot eyes are trained on you Hypnotic trampolines will launch us Into oceans green and blue The hardest part for some, he knew The heart is part of something new The hardest part for some, he knew The heart is part of something new

Tico Says 03:06
What is a man if he can’t reconcile his tears? Bury the past, still we dig up what we need I know a man who made it through the other side A punk is still a punk, A sole survivor still the captain of his vessel Walk through the valley, but remember where you’ve been Carry the weight of every drunken warrior I know a man who puts it all down on the floor All sweat and gasoline, All flailing arms, machine gun shots and broken cymbals Don’t let your heart grow cold Don’t you regret the days The ghosts of who we were haunt no one, but us That’s what Tico says

Cliff 02:06
This is where she slipped, he said, hand to heart Colorado Rocky Mountain trail Lovers’ hike, but a cruel x marked the spot This is where his story starts to fall apart Don’t turn around The clouds of love are nebulous Don’t turn around There’s danger, then there’s dangerous Don’t turn around There’s closure when you hit the ground Don’t turn around, Don’t turn around, Don’t… Wicked ruse repeated several times before One and only witness to a crushing end Follow the money back to where he dreamt the plan Follow her heart to the place where it all began

Disappeared 02:48
When you hear about What you’ve heard about before But it’s you they’re looking for Could you turn around? Could you vanish into space? It’s your face, that you see plastered everywhere I’m not dumb And I know cars don’t just disappear Girls don’t disappear When you think about All the ways that we can leave It’s easy to believe There’s a separate place Where we get to say goodbye I won’t lie, it’s a joke I think I’ve told before We can laugh While you drive your car into the sea They say you’re coming home But you and I both know the truth You’re never coming back again No Shiny girls can’t hide They can only slide into something weird But you never tried You only disappeared

Betty 03:40
Phoenix, nineteen-sixty-three Betty starts her day These little things that are not her own Make her thoughts drift away And the promise of a new year, blown The youngest could not understand This feeling of malaise And so it seemed a twist of fate A stocking on the chaise And then Arizona State… Hard forty-nine A breeze won’t blow And the sun don’t shine Don’t be afraid All God’s debts will be repaid And so it was after nineteen years Redemption came her way And then thirty more just to resonate Call it forty-nine to a day And then farewell to Arizona State Time doesn’t care If the leaves turn brown And the vultures stare What could it mean? Will the years forgive a forgotten scheme? Hard forty-nine A breeze won’t blow And the sun don’t shine Don’t be afraid All God’s debts will be repaid All God’s debts have been repaid

The sun’s gonna rise in the morning First you crawl, until you can run Nothing can hold back the wind in your sails The race of your life has begun It’s the first day And the last time You will ever say “yesterday’s dead” This is the dawn of the seed of redemption, my friend But tomorrow will own you again Look at the flowers, they don’t care what you own Look at the birds, now you won’t feel alone Look at the stars shining bright in your sky It’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie… ‘cause it’s the first day And the last time You can ever say “yesterday’s dead” It’s the dawn of the seed of redemption, my friend Now tomorrow will own you again Tomorrow will own you again

Sillyhead 02:14
I first found out when I was living in the womb I heard the voices, heard the ticking bomb Felt the boom As I got older I was dying to fit in That was the plan – I was killing it Went through the motions but I couldn’t understand Drawing dead when you’re playing with a busted hand If no-limit is the way we’re gonna roll Pay the toll, ‘cause I’m all-in Now I’m old, got them eating out my hand Dropping bits of gold, oversold Playing in a band It’s a circus, but the monkeys wanna fly Who knows why? It’s because of my sillyhead I first found out when I was living in the womb I heard the voices, heard the ticking bomb Felt the boom As I got older I was dying to fit in That was the plan – I was killing it Now I’m old, and I’m running with the bulls Left the past like a bag of bones, fed it to the wolves Final table but I leave it all behind, missed the blind All because of my sillyhead

Kill The Day 02:16
Well the rain soaks the ground leaving pools of remorse Kill the day, kill the day And it’s only your own shoes left drenched-through, of course Kill the day, kill the day So you came with a plan But it all went to shit Now you can’t understand Why the pose doesn’t fit So you turned twenty four, let me show you the door Your tomorrow’s now yesterday’s news When the sun hits your back and the sweat starts to flow Kill the day, kill the day Will you puff out your chest for the truths you don’t know? Kill the day, kill the day Dreams never die, but they’ll stick in your throat You can choke all the same What remains are the scraps of another man’s meal When the rain soaks the ground leaving pools of regret Kill the day, kill the day And the lessons to learn you’re still doomed to forget Kill the day, kill the day So you came with a plan But it all went to shit Now you can’t understand Why these shoes never fit Now you sleep in a home made of cardboard and bones Can’t believe I still hear you say Kill the day
