Horse To Water

I could have kept my head down
I might have kept my mouth shut
I should have held my own,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

You’re only as big as your battles.
Rattle my cage with your shadow.
I’m a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don’t you know that what comes around goes around?

I’m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

Don’t darken my doorstep again,
You’re mixing up living in chin-chin,
You’re mixing up lose with win-win,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

You stumble on glass top table,
TV’s chewing shock-gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I’ll call this entertainment
’cause Humpty’s falling down.

I’m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fuckin’ fried-up pub crawl
Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don’t you know that what comes around goes around?

I’m not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

It’s not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round
It’s going down, down, down
This runaround, round, round
Is bound to pound
The daylights out of you!

Sing For The Submarine

It feels in dreams
That everything is there for you
The city breathes and pulses
It’s for you electron blue

I knew that you could see right through it
So this is where I give in to the machine
Lift up your voice feel gravity’s pull
Drown out the siren’s ring (or silent dream)

Oh…

It’s all here where I keep it
It’s all in the submarine
It’s all a lot less frightening
than you would have had it be
But that’s the good news my darling
It is what it’s going to be
So sing, sing for the submarine

I tried to explain how it all begins
How its all destroyed and built again
I knew that you could not believe me
But now you’re here and it’s different
How the light shines in your eyes
In every second or situ
It’s then that I realised
That the world as we know it
The High speed train
We’ll pick it all up and start again

It’s all here where I keep it
It’s all in the submarine
It’s all a lot less frightening
than you would have had it be
But that’s the good news my darling
It is what it’s going to be
So sing, sing for the submarine

The city did not collapse in a shudder
The rain it never came
At least my confessions made you laugh
I know it’s a little crazed
But these dreams…
they seem so real to me

It’s all here where I keep it
It’s all in the submarine
It’s all a lot less frightening
than you would have had it be
But that’s the good news my darling
It is what it’s going to be
So sing, sing for the submarine

So this is where you trust me
And this where it begins
It’s all a lot less frightening
Your tear you let it in
Tyrel and his mechanical owl
A moth disguised as a leaf…
Don’t tell me what tomorrow brings
Climb into the hidden machine and
sing sing sing sing sing sing
sing sing for the submarine

Accelerate

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I’m not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I’ve got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler)

The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don’t know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitate.

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I’ve got to follow another direction
Accelerate.

The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down,
Go.

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I’ve got to follow another direction.

The city’s burning, it’s like it’s ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
I’m incomplete
I’m incomplete
I’m incomplete.

Houston

If the storm doesn’t kill me the government will
I’ve got to get that out of my head
It’s a new day today and the coffee is strong
I’ve finally got some rest

So a man’s put to task and challenges
I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has
Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased

And so there are claims forgiven
And so there are things that are gone

Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased

And some things, they fall to the wayside
Their memory is yet to be still
Belief has not filled me
And so I am put to the test

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart

Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh

Living Well Is The Best Revenge

Intro: B

Verse:

B
It’s only when your poison spins into the life you’d hoped to live
A
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now
B
You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer’s daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
A
I lay right down

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I’m not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well’s the best revenge
D A E
Baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
Don’t turn your talking points on me.

History will set me free
A
The future is ours and you don’t even rate a footnote now!
B
So who’s chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it
A
You weakened shill.

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I’m not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well is the best revenge
D A E
and baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don’t forget

You work it out, let’s hear that argument again
A
Camera three… GO NOW!

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
