Lyrics written by Jonah Michea Judy:
With confidence I asked you to slow down
Centripetal force, the pollen between us
How many leagues am I to sing to you for?
But you fold yourself into my songs now
dust descending through my light
Assuredly you press the gas pedal down
In your Jetta with the narrowing ceiling
Was the city good to you?
As you rock each other and I sing to you
With confidence I asked you to slow down
How many leagues am I to sing to you for?
Have patience, I don’t have patience
But we drive and the ceiling comes down and I’m Alice on my hands and knees
We drive and I’m afraid it’s narrowing

Fade Into You
05:09
|

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then its smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Written by Elliott Smith
Someone's always coming around here
Trailing some new kill
Says "I've seen your picture on a
Hundred-dollar bill"
What's a game of chance to you,
To him is one Of real skill
So glad to meet you, Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's
Money to be made
Go on, lose the gamble that's the
History of the trade
Did you add up all the cards left to play
To zero
And sign up with evil, Angeles?
Don't start me trying now
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
'Cause I'm all over it, Angeles
I can make you satisfied in
Everything you do
All your secret wishes could right
Now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms
Around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet'cha, Angeles

Sentinel
02:58
|
|||
|
You were standing in my room all night
the broken crayons on the floor made it look like you had a fight
The sentinel of the hardwood, pulling the covers over my head
empty bottles at your prescription to clear me up you said
Soft footsteps
Hard kicks leaving boot prints
On the sidewalk I am the prince
You try to look tough but you're alright
Wearing the black shades against the rough night
Security for the night shift I forgot who's in my bed
Anticipate, I walk and wait for the shit that's about to get said
Soft footsteps
Hard kicks leaving boot prints
On the sidewalk I am the prince

Things Behind The Sun
03:51
|
|||
|
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say.
Look around you find the ground
Is not so far from where you are
But not too wise
For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired
From out of their eyes
Never surprise.
Take your time and you'll be fine
And say a prayer for people there
Who live on the floor
And if you see what's meant to be
Don't name the day or try to say
It happened before.
Don't be shy you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be.

Famous Blue Raincoat
04:58

It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train, and
You came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Sincerely, L Cohen

In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You will never leave Harlan alive
Oh, my granddad's dad walked down
Katahrins Mountain
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth
Of this holler
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
Till a man from the Northeast arrived
Waving hundred dollar bills he said I'll pay ya for your minerals
But he never left Harlan alive
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west
Of Pineville
To a farm where big Richland River winds
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive
But the times got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive
He went and dug for Harlan coal
And sent the money back to granny
But he never left Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You will never leave Harlan alive

Lyrics
Could you come over?
Could you come over?
I'm feeling blue
What will you do?
If you could come over
You could come over
I'm feeling bad
I'm feeling sad
Then I see the rose
I see the glory in your eyes
And winter comes and then it snows
I see the glory in your eyes
I'm feeling lost
I see the rose
I see the glory in your eyes
And winter comes and then it snows
I see the glory in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Do you remember?
Late in September
The banshee cry
When someone dies
Sleeping in silence
While I am dreaming
It's all in my mind
The beauty I find
Lost I see the rose
I see the glory in your eyes
And winter comes and then it snows
I see the glory in your eyes
I'm feeling lost
I see the rose
I see the glory in your eyes
And winter comes and then it snows
I see the glory in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

So Called Local
02:29
|
|||
|
So you're no more than a local
So called less than a foreign face
Soon that screen is sewn below your eyes
Only above the rake
I can't see
Lifetime thief of what walks away
I force in you the gift to walk away
Smoke of touch and stone
So you're no more than a local
So called less than a foreign face

Confess, Father
04:55
|
|||
|
I'll sing until the rain breaks
My orbit here is mine and
You could have taken one test to save time
But whose mind is mine?
Where are you father?
Father whose story is kept so long
And who is there to find you once she's gone?
I've been working on a theory
I can't prove it yet
Where are you? I've begun to worry
Where are you father? Where are you?
The only dad he's ever known
I've taught him everything he knows, remember.
But who is there to find you when the dust falls down?
You travel on your own
You travel for your own
But I am not here
Confess to me father, has she twisted your arm?
Or do you share one mind, and you couldn't escape her charms?

Alice
03:08
|
|||
|
It's dreamy weather we're on
You wave your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
With a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw...
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond they spell Alice
I'll disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's the wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby, all that I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic arithmetock
I turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat
How did the razor find my throat
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
But I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice of Alice
There's only Alice

The Way It Will Be
03:55
|
|||
|
I lost you awhile ago
But still I don't know why
I can't say your name
Without a crow flying by
Gotta watch my back now
That you turned me around
Got me walking backwards
Into my hometown
Throw me a rope
On the rolling tide
What did you want me to be?
You said it's him or me
The way you made it
That's the way it will be
It was seven years on the burning shore
With gatling guns and paint
Working the lowlands door-to-door
Like a Latter Day Saint
Then you turn me out
At the top of the stairs
You took all the glory
That you just couldn't share
I've never been so disabused
Never been so mad
I've never been served anything
That tasted so bad
You might need a friend
Any day now, any day
Oh my brother, be careful
You are drifting away
Throw me a rope
On the rolling tide
What did you want me to be?
You said it's him or me
The way you made it
That's the way it will be
The way you made it
That's the way it will be

Always Remorse
02:57
|
|||
|
Behind the lips I have tried to come back to you
behind the lips I have tried to think a way back to you
cast iron and the rusty sugar shaker
unrefined salt, reigning motion
always remorse
behind the walls fiber is thin/spider thin
walk on talls away from the spores of my cotton children
melted grease over the rust of the cast iron
I'm a sore step/and a limited rage of motion
always remorse
I'm in a play and I can cast myself as I fucking want to
not your clay/and I am cast as I bake and rest
always remorse

Song Of Sand
03:27
|
|||
|
If sand waves were sound waves
What song would be in the air now
What stinging tune
Could split this endless noon
And make the sky swell with rain
If war were a game that a man or a child
Could think of winning
What kind of rule
Can overthrow a fool
And leave the land with no stain.

Losing My Religion
04:22
|
|||
|
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger
Than you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry
Why try?
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
Dream

West Window
02:56

|
All I am out the window to the west
And of your love
You can't miss her when she calls, calls
Why when I meet you, I'm always on the catch?
Bottles in front, changing your sound
All I am out the window to the west
Best bottles in town rusting under oath
All I am -makes you far
And of your love
You can't miss her when she calls, calls

Under Ice
01:58
|

|
It's wonderful
Everywhere, so white
The river has frozen over
Not a soul on the ice
Only me skating fast
I'm speeding past trees
Leaving little lines in the ice
Cotting out, little lines in the ice
Splitting, splitting sound
Silver heels spitting, spitting snow
There's something moving under
Under the ice moving
Under ice through water
Trying to
It's me
Get out of the cold water
It's me
Something
It's me
Someone, help them

Richest Red
03:45
|

|
If I can let go I'm going to get well and let you out
Open my heart, the ink in and the needles out
All my time here I've been fighting so hard
The Creeping Blush of a closed hand
The rushing creek of the silent man
If I can see you coming there's time for you to miss me well
the richest red that the rivers can
It starts out young as the shade of a wish
your pale companion, sickness to walk with
you have my friend growing, I can see her on your side
if I can get well I'm going to cut you up and let you out
The Creeping Blush of a closed hand
The rushing creek of the silent man
If I can see you coming there's time for you to miss me well
the richest red that the rivers can
If I can let go I'm going to get well and let you out
Open my heart, the ink in and the needles out
All my time here I've been fighting so hard
The Creeping Blush of a closed hand
The rushing creek of the silent man
If I can see you coming there's time for you to miss me well
the richest red that the rivers can
