In the Fall
  
Up on a hilltop where the land is wet 
There is a man with a heart in his hand 
 
He says: 
"The garden of eden 
Will keep me well 
And if you said 
You know 
 
In the fall  
In the fall" 
  
There is a hill top where the land runs free 
Says "come around and sit next to me 
In my garden of Eden 
What the loin stole 
No matter what you find  
You still wanted more 
More more 
  
In the fall  
In the fall" 
  
Up on a hill top will I illustrate  
How you've been, known 
  
In the Fall  
In the Fall 
 
 
Fell on the Floor
 
Look at him with his sordid eyes 
He gives away what you can't disguise 
He's born of thoughts that you failed to mention 
He came to this place with an earnest intention 
  
Give away all the info too late 
Smokey's got so much to say 
In the place of fake charity 
A Limited Solidarity 
  
Here comes the pirate 
With a dress on  
And a Glasgow kiss 
 
Here comes the Pirate 
With a dress on 
And a Glasgow kiss 
  
In his world he's pensive but he pockets 
All his thoughts so that no one can cop them 
He speaks two languages but only one word 
Seems to matter in his 'one-tree' world  
  
Give too much cause he feels like he needs it 
But there are rules but he fails to heed it 
He dictates in awe with a dubious sanity 
He keeps in mind that he knows what's best for humanity 
  
At the end of a rope and he can't beg for it 
No miracles big enough to get him through it 
In the place of charity  
Limited solidarity 
  
Here comes the pirate 
with a dress on  
And a Glasgow kiss 
 
Try to pretend as you start to begin  
You know everything don't you 
watch the loose ends 
You know everything don't you everything don't you 
  
Try to pretend as you start to begin 
try to disguise all the things that you send 
Everything don't you 
you know everything don't you 
 
Try to pretend that the law won't come 
Law comes around and says hands to the wall 
Hands to the Wall 
Hands to the Wall 
 
Fell on the floor  
with his open eyes 
Fell on the floor 
as he tries to disguise 
  
Fell on the floor  
as he tries to pretend 
As he tries to beg for it 
Try to pretend you know everything don't you  
you know everything don't  
everything don't you 
 
 
Laughing Streetcar 
  
Holy man with a gun in his hand 
Says he's gotta do it cause the gov't can't 
Holy war on a foreign land 
Ain't no amount of words that can make amends 
With a broken home and broken heart 
Putting pipes in his veins just to stay alive 
When the dust settles I will get rid of 
The 5150s keeping me locked up 
He sings dadadada 
In a window somewhere you hear the sound 
Of a street car named HaHa 
  
He's holding time shoved up his behind 
He's slanging minutes into nickels and dimes 
Poets and folk singers 
They made a legend out of him with their songs and words 
He grew a great beard says he's gotta steer 
On the road to nowhere 
Come along 
  
With a broken nose and a broken heart  
Putting pipes in his veins just to stay alive 
  
He sings 
dadadada 
In a window somewhere you hear the sound 
Of a street car named HaHa 
  
Doing nothing without saying a word about the cause and effect 
Of historic affairs about original sin and the way I've been 
About the way I sing 
  
Like dadadada 
 
 
World At Rest 
  
Listen boy what you gotta prove to the world?  
Keep your cool,  
when they're gonna take down the walls 
a fig leaf on a eunuch  
and a pocket full of chocolate 
an object at rest is in the wrong pocket 
you try your best but the world won't wait 
You try your best just to do what he said 
To do it, to do it, to do it 
to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it. 
  
You try your best and the world keeps falling in  
Try your best and the wall keeps falling in 
  
Listen boy keep the tally clear  
when you speak about the war of the words 
of the wall of the wounded  
nothing that you hear,  
half of what you see.  
drop a dime,  
catching time  
a medic and a fee 
keep it in the frame, keep it in a frame 
Bad news good and the good news mends 
Keep him in the frame, keep him in the frame 
A word is to pretend. 
I WANTED TO PRETEND!! 
  
You try your best and the wall keeps falling in 
Tried your best and the worlds just keep falling in…on you 
  
Listen boy what you gotta prove to the world at rest 
Shooting metaphors through a pistol made of words  
he says like Verlaine and Rimbaud, he'll shoot you in the 
heart, then he says oh no! 
c'mon gimme the gun, gimme the gun, gimme the gun, gimme the 
pun 
  
You try your best and the wall keeps falling in… 
Tried your best but the world keeps falling in 
 
 
All The Difference 
 
Sitting on a fence he said, 
"I don't know which way to go 
But by the grace of God 
I will get there somehow 
But nobody knows,  
Nobody knows, nobody knows 
why I do what I do" 
  
Sitting on the fence he said,  
"I am so uncertain, well, 
By the grace of God 
I hope nobody can tell 
Nobody knows 
How cold It grows 
Nobody knows 
Why I do what I do 
Why I do what I do 
  
Why I did what I did
