BLUEPRINTS

in the back
of my brain
there's a filebox
where I kept the master plans
and blueprint pages

like a stingy
man keeps quarters
stacked discreetly
counted neatly

I can't
keep them
from you
anymore
you'll have
to see them
they're for you
they're all yours

It's in fact
quite impressive
reading different books
in different corners of the room

like two napping
cats agendas
unobtrusive
and elusive

I can't
keep it
from you anymore
you'll have
to see it
it's the truth
it's all yours

in the deluxe
package plan
you get all the little pieces
the good, the bad, the crazy

there's no trade up
there's no rebate,
zero APR
for one full year...but

I can't
keep me
from you
anymore
you read the fine print
had the test drive
I'm yours

KID HEROES

scared stiff
with no security blanket
we are strange kids
and not so case specific

push to shove we are
formidable opponents
bored stiff kid heroes
who will lead the future

you know
the truth as well as i do
sometimes i get that feeling
don't you

what can we do
without a cape and superpowers?
and in the shoes of
the powerful could we do better?
nothing to lose
this is our chance to blow them all away
they say: who are you?
"The kid heroes, we're here to save the day."

strings of
stupid songs all in 4:4 time
juggernauts
in the next created sequel

hopes of
pension plans and health insurance
amazing brains in prison camps, all that
and home in time for tea

you know
the truth as well as i do
sometimes i get that feeling
don't you
what can we do

without a cape and superpowers?
and in the shoes of
the powerful could we do better?
nothing to lose
this is our chance to blow them all away
they say: who are you?
"Next in line, we're here to save the day."

bridge:
sometimes i get the feeling
that we all could just be dreaming
and then tomorrow wake to know
where it had all gone wrong

you know
the truth as well as i do
sometimes i get that feeling
don't you

you know
the truth as well as i do
sometimes i get that feeling
don't you

what can we do
without a cape and superpowers?
and in the shoes of
the powerful could we do better?
nothing to lose
this is our chance to blow them all away
they say: who are you?
"Next in line, we're here to save the day."

LINE OF SIGHT

we ride in vain
in love with our own trickery
we ride inside the belly of our pride

tie up your head, tie up your feet
attempt to swim from destiny
tie up your memory, your history and time

under our beds
we hide our fears we hide our dreams
inside our heads are cities that we long to see

the clock bears down, the boss clamps down
you push and press yourself inside
machines that tick and tock and leave your core behind

sorely missed
are certain things we leave behind
like truth
that hurts us when come to find
our line of sight
interrupted by our lying minds

our cars break down, our bones break down
subject to what defies control
we break and find infant and elder are both weak

put on your hat, put on your shoes
but you be careful what you need
put your good sense in your valise, your free to go

chorus

bridge:
you can't wait----to take it all over----and over again
give it back----it's breaking all over----and over again chorus

Paper

sleep with my fears
every moon in the year.
stand in the water,
undertow take take me down,
past my own hourglass.
time is out of the question.
question. you may stay
or you may pass... you may pass.

candid pictures, tape recordings
artist's canvas, room and boarding
there we are for just a second
stop. and i am gone
unwinding memphis coming down
two would visit, one left town
and I am naked on the ground
without language spinning me around

aaah so sad the tales we tell so well
of this and that, of dreams and spells
dreams and spells
girls and boys and those who die
that's everyone that's you and I
send send sending you the world on paper

paper money, paper promise, paper letters, paper time

selling fortunes, selling safety
peddling patience, decorations
or a pair of wings
revealing weakness, coming 'round
you would take it one step down
and I am naked on the ground
without music spinning me around

aaah so desperate our travels
we walk so far and talk so little
little girls and little boys
and those who die that's ...everyone
that's you and i
send send sending
paper now, pa-paper now

paper money paper promise, paper letters, paper time

TRAGIC

so long that I can't mistake
the up that we have to break
we're falling quickly

my fears have come true and still
my head says 'no' but I will
let you trick me

(it's) the way that you advertized
so cleverly in disguise
my heart feels sickly

IT'S TRAGIC TO HAVE THIS
LACK OF HALF AN ANSWER
IT'S LETHAL TO NEED YOU
SO COMPLETELY, PLEASE PLEASE

so long that I can't undo
the circles I run with you
no I'm not able

to play the cards in my hand
your game is fair then it bends
you turn the tables

It's cold under ice so thin
tread lightly..I still fall in
Your heart's not stable

IT'S TRAGIC TO HAVE THIS
LACK OF HALF AN ANSWER
IT'S LETHAL TO NEED YOU
SO COMPLETELY, PLEASE PLEASE
