hero 04:01
The night lets her hair down around you She waits hopes you'll turn off the news But you're too busy And she's too distant And no one's chasing the signs Who's going to follow me if I'm not following you? Fossils are never found in the wrong place No rain this year She's this new kind of hero When the sea rises high to trees on fire And all our homes disappear And there's nowhere to run anymore She can't give you anymore She's this new kind of hero She's this new kind of hero She's this new kind of hero

Back up the train to see her again Sit by the window and watch my bed If you think you can do it all, you can't Just another useless eater Playing games just to mirror the death List out the things I can't change I haven't seen enough I haven't heard enough I haven't seen the camps To rest or to play? Look for the children in your head Safe on our iron mountain Every morning a white shirt I'll walk never walk as far as he did I'll never starve like he did And he'll never be saved The genes of an optimist And I'll never be saved The genes of an optimist Starting a fire to run for your life To eighteen years in the mailroom With a pension from the United States And he'll never be saved Without genes of an optimist And you'll never be saved The genes of an optimist I'll never be saved

lucile 03:44
Sometimes I howl I wake to tell of a temporary numb That still grabs me by the throat I knew a fisherman we met on Lucile It was blue and green and I screamed I won’t remember him in the morning Take me home Why won’t he let me go? He can’t tell, he never knows It’s all my fault you see, he’s never going to learn from me My body is mine whether or not you see it, my body is mine He wrote me to say it only took him eight years to catch the train And he bought the last ticket From the space between my muscle and my bone A real let down after living on a loan And my mother still doesn’t know Why I won’t remember him in the morning Take me home Why won’t he let me go? He can’t tell, he never knows It’s all my fault you see, he’s never going to learn from me My body is mine whether or not you see it, my body is mine Oh Lucile, Lucile Oh Lucile, Lucile

What if the way I stay is always changing? What if the way I stay is always changing? What if the way I stay is always changing? It’s in our blood to know fear, maybe that’s why we find (What if the way I stay is always changing?) Pleasure between here and there (What if the way I stay is always changing?) Every time they sigh, a little golden dream (What if the way I stay is always changing?) What if the way I stay is always changing? Wish I could rehearse all I have to learn (What if the way I stay is always changing?) Can’t take that from you, Will you have me? (What if the way I stay is always changing?) Now, or never? (What if the way I stay is always changing?) Can’t count the dreams safely Can’t count the dreams safely Can’t count the dreams Can’t count the dreams
