Reckoning
Harborcoat
They crowded up to Lenin
with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got.
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT"
They shifted the statues
for harboring ghosts.
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes.
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out.
She gathered the corners and called it her gown.
She said:
Please find my harborcoat,
can't go outside without it.
Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it.
They crowded up to Lenin
with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got.
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT," R-E-A-C-T
Please find my harborcoat,
can't go outside without it.
Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it.
They shifted the statues
for harboring ghosts.
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes.
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out.
She gathered the corners and called it her gown.
She said:
Please find my harborcoat,
can't go outside without it.
Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it.
This mellow, sweet,
short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat.
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun the battle.
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color.
Autumn waited hold it to you in the colored come another.
Seven Chinese brothers
swallowing the ocean.
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain.
She'll return, she will return.
This mellow, sweet,
short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat.
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun the battle.
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color.
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come another.
Seven Chinese brothers
swallowing the ocean.
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain.
She'll return, she will return. (she'll return, she'll return)
This mellow, sweet,
short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat.
Take in one symphony now, I guess we lost that battle.
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color.
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come another.
Seven Chinese brothers
swallowing the ocean.
Seven thousand years the Communi did reign.
She will return, she'll return. She will return.
Did you never call? I
waited for your call.
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I'm sorry.
Eastern to Mountain, third
party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit.
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed.
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Did you never call? I
waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry.
It's what I want, hurry and
buy all has been tried.
Follow reason and buy, cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong.
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong.
He's got a pretty
persuasion. She's got pretty persuasion.
God damn your confusion. She's got pretty persuasion.
It's what I want, hurry and
buy all has been tried.
Follow reasoning and I put that in this heat it's all wrong.
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong all wrong.
He's got a pretty
persuasion. She's got pretty persuasion.
God damn your confusion. He's got pretty persuasion.
In the light I saw quite a
scene there.
It's what I want, hurry and buy, all has been tried, follow reason and buy.
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong.
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong.
He's got a pretty
persuasion. She's got pretty persuasion.
God damn your confusion. He's got pretty persuasion.
Ask the girl of the hour by
the water tower's watch
If your friends took a fall, are your obligated to follow?
Time after, time after
time.
When the bull's on his
hooves, when you gather friends by the tower.
If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour?
Time after, time after
time.
Time after, time after time.
If you're tired and you're
tried you can find me in my room.
You can stay if you want and the third time you can't lose.
Time after, time after
time.
Time after, time after.
Ask the girl of the hour,
by the water tower's watch
We can fight if you want but who will turn out the lights?
Time after, time after
time.
Time after, time after time.
Time after, time after
time.
Time after, time after.
It's been pretty simple so
far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind.
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live.
The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home.
This letter never sent.
And it's so far, it's so
dark, I'm so lost.
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live.
(Another story, another
story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?
The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in.
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark.
And it's so far, it's so
dark, I'm so lost.
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far.
Heaven's yours, heaven's
yours, heaven's yours where I live.
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's
yours, heaven's yours where I live.
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
From the inside room when
the front room greeting
Becomes your special book, it was simple then.
When the party lulls, if we fall by the side.
Will you be remembered?
Will she be remembered?
Alone in a crowd, a bartered lantern borrowed.
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?
I fell by you bed once, I
didn't want to tell you.
I should keep myself in between the pages
Of the green light room if we fall by the side.
Will you be remembered?
Will she be remembered?
Alone in a crowd, a bartered lantern borrowed.
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?
From the inside room when
the front room greeting
Becomes your special book, it was simple then.
When the party lulls, if we fall by the side.
I still like you, can you remember?
Alone in a crowd, a
bartered lantern borrowed.
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?
Alone in a crowd, a
bartered lantern borrowed.
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?
Looking at your watch a
third time waiting in the station for a bus.
Going to place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough.
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know.
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go.
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself.
I know if might sound strange but I believe you'll be coming back before too
long.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year.
At night I drink myself to
sleep and pretend I don't care that you're not here with me.
Cause it's so much easier to handle all my problems if I'm too far out to sea.
But something better happen soon or it's gonna be too late to bring you back.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year.
It's not as though I really
need you.
If you were here I'd only bleed you.
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and that's not how it
ought to be.
I know it might sound strange but I believe you'll be coming back before too
long.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville.
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year.
I can't see myself at
thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty.
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelry, again.
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback.
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in a tree beer tar-black brer sap.
The biggest wagon is the
empty wagon is the noisiest.
The consul, a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost.
Who will tend the farm
museums?
Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season.
Diane is on the beach, don you realize the life she's led?
The biggest wagon is the
empty wagon is the noisiest.
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost.
The biggest wagon is the
empty wagon is the noisiest.
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer.
Lighted in the amber yard,
a green shellback, green shellback.
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in a tree tar-black brer sap.
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game.
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer grab your fiddle.
The biggest wagon is the
empty wagon is the noisiest.
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost.
The biggest wagon is the
empty wagon is the noisiest.
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost.
Lost.
