Intro 00:05
I've got a crown - *chokes*
2.
I've been granted A temporary reprieve From the land of the dead baby And I ain't weary Although I'm coming apart, apart at the seams Lie in the meadow Drive into the sea I want to see how far you'll go with me beside you Although I'm coming apart, apart at the seams I've got a crown of sorrow and a dark red '92 & I hope you don't mind the trouble I cause, 'cause I cause it all for you Oh, I'd Start a fire in the theatre, baby Steal a car just to drive you crazy You don't know how much you mean to me & I've been walking into everything I see Telling everybody how sharp I am and why don't you try me? You know I'm coming apart, apart at the seams But I don't see the problem With this life we lead Coughing up blood at the Bar Bodega Oh, I wouldn't worry But then again, you're not a lot like me I've got a crown of sorrow and a dark red '92 & I know you don't mind the trouble I cause, 'cause I cause it all for you Oh, I'd Start a fire in the theatre, baby Steal a car just to drive you crazy You don't know how much you mean to me Defibrillate my heart Resuscitate my brain Excavate my soul Trunicate my nasal cavity I've been granted A temporary reprieve From the land of the dead baby And I ain't weary Although I'm coming apart, apart at the seams I've got a crown of sorrow and a dark red '92 & I hope you don't mind the trouble I cause, 'cause I cause it all for you Oh, I'd Start a fire in the theatre, baby Steal a car just to drive you crazy You don't know how much you mean to me Defibrillate my heart Resuscitate my brain Excavate my soul Trunicate my nasal cavity ooo-ooo-ooo do do do dodododo do *curtains*

I don't know how to let you down Even though I do so every day I don't know how to let you down Even though you do your best to say Honey, I won't let you down 'Cause I won't be around to stay We all have times when we should fade But we keep on trying We all have fears that we won't make it through & what if those fears come true? If I done wrong Throw me a bone If you were mine It won't be for long Tear the tracks off my tires baby, 'cause everything you love is gone & I don't know how to let you down Even though I do so every day I don't know how to let you down Even though you do your best to say Honey, I won't let you down 'Cause I won't be around to stay If you don't say Then I guess neither will I We can bury it on down by the sea Oh, but I, you know I can't promise you That I won't dig it on up and dance all around 'Till I turn to steam If I done wrong Throw me a bone If you were mine It won't be for long Take your chances at the lighthouse baby, 'cause everything you love is gone & I don't know how to let you down Even though I do so every day I don't know how to let you down Even though you do your best to say Honey, I won't let you down 'Cause I won't be around to stay & if you need to find a mirror to look through That wont tell you the truth You'll find it in the waves 'Cause when you sink down you sink down & when you get low you get low & when you see me there you can Take me home Take me home Take me home Throw me a bone Everything I love is gone

No Harm 04:57
For his 26th birthday you gave him a pair of beat up shoes & told him to run away until the soles wore through He honoured your word, and he left you with a song Of the tempest, the vipers and the moon It was 26 days until your man ran out of time All the clothes, they melted off his hide You pulled him from the brink, and you offered up a song Of the tempest, the vipers and the moon And he Ain't gonna do you no harm But you Don't wanna have his kind of fun Have his kind of fun 26 miles from here, you met a spectre on the grass Laying on his shadow in song He said leave the things that you don't say, and the chances you don't take For the tempest, the vipers and the moon And he Ain't gonna do you no harm But you Don't wanna have his kind of fun Have his kind of fun Neither of you ever learned to cry No-one taught you how

Rum, Pt. 2 03:35
I found five dollars on the ground I'll put it in the tank and maybe we can get the needle past the warning meter I know it's not that profound To drive until thick white smoke starts to billow from the radiator 'Till it's all you can see Oh, and I don't know Just how long it'll be 'Till those big old eyes start focusing on me But I guess I'll wait that long & all the birds upon my crown Have flown away and now I'm getting worried wondering what it is they've flown away from It's not emotionally sound To walk until you think that you've forgotten 'bout the woman that you've walked away from And never to turn 'round Oh, and I don't know Just how long it'll be 'Till those big old shoes start walking over here But I guess I'll wait that long & maybe I make it harder for myself You know I, I like it that way & all the pines, they hear every word you say & they think about you all the time Squeeze my hand 'till the knuckles all go white Oh, and I don't know Just how long it'll be 'Till that big old heart of yours can get back in one piece But you know I'll wait that long
