Lyrics:
Anyone - This won’t feel the same way / this won’t feel the same to anyone / a rocket on a running line / howling in the night / calling on the other side/ all the American might / I’m pushing you the same way / I’m pushing you the same as anyone
If Only - If there were a safe place to walk around here I’d roam / if there were such a thing as a honeymoon I’d go / I get knocked down sometimes I rise / if there were answers once they’ve been hidden forever, untold / if the lost rewards can be bought once more I’m sold / I get knocked down sometimes I rise / I search for safety, safety flies / I will write you a hundred letters of all I’ve dreamed since we were young / I will stand up and guard your honor, bye and bye Lord, bye and bye / it’s hard / it’s hard enough
Helicopter - Oh please not another planted reaction, my kingdom for a thought of your own / you know you should’ve stopped but you ended up crashing, the only way that you’ve ever known / don’t try to hide, don’t try to hide, you always been too easy to find / always revving up and never go any faster / say you’ll do what I want, but not as your told / maybe all I need is a helicopter to get on top of the cloud you’re on / one of these times your private disasters, won’t be the life of the show / all the big shots you go tumbling after, are waving their goodbyes from the road
Madison - Precious danger, oh the hours, come and save me now / before I find out the things you don’t say aloud about every precious thing you hover around / and maybe it’s just part of the bargain / and we’re all just playing a part / Dolley honey save the picture, they’re coming at dark / oh, the fire over Montpellier, seems the whole world’s burning now / and old Tecumseh, he’s burning up the mountain side / don’t worry Doll, it’s nothing but a change of mind
Devil’s Crutch - Oh no it’s not out of control? well you should hear yourself sleeping / ifs and buts are the devils crutch and all your other hocus bullshit / I don’t know about me, but I’m damn sure you wouldn’t take it / yeah I don’t know about me, I’ve just got a flair for the ordinary / this fear that’s running through my veins and brain, it seems to hear me coming / Your heroes and ghosts they’re most if not all dead they’re failing / it’s the same as the last one love, you can leave all but the anchor / You feel the cold weight in your head and then your bested by the anger / oh no it’s not out of control? well you should hear yourself sleeping
Taquito - Let’s take this off the hook and off line, we’ll sink our teeth in / watch the whole thing, watch it begin, again and again and again and again / and it all adds up to a fire I can’t start / a little fucked up but no more than we already are / every little piece just repeats that we’re falling apart / till you end up in a sterile white room all alone or a dirty corner of the bar / in the right shade don’t I look bright/I could slip, slip and still win / bribe the host man just to get in, stand stiff, stiff with a grin as it spins
Dealing in Integers - You smoldering idiot, first-class Canadian, eyes shine like the dirt / your oldest competitor is dealing in integers and you’ve barely buttoned your shirt / you’re a rich one maybe Jane I don’t want you to know that / I could strike that bruise from your name but I know you don’t want that / your holdings in Zanzibar aren’t worth what they’re printed on, tattered, tired and burned / they tattled and tied you on a slow moving sleeper car, dismissed you with all the right words
Singalong - There’s a pretty song on the radio playing, and we all sing along / we’re not alone / it can rise up and wreck us but it never would have let us grow old / it’s a cold world, I’m coming, I’m coming in / this could all be wrong and not even worth saving / save the songs, they carry on / they’re not alone / someday we all will sing along, then all of this is worth it
Fields - These fields are calling my name, they’re calling out / must be 25 years or more / I never told the story and I ain’t gonna start now / an inch for every mile I’ve made, from this toddlin’ town / it’s kept me 25 years or more / I never told the story and I ain’t gonna start now / this is a call for all men to open their eyes or stand aside before my sons start wondering why / an eye for an eye, but why does it got to be mine?
May Tomorrow Be Better - Don’t let your mother fall down / I know where I was when you couldn’t walk alone / I was on your line / now I won’t be running here no more / your everything worked out fine / you made it through the middle now I feel the wake you left behind / but you’re just fine / now I won’t be running here no more / may tomorrow be better / may the words you find fit her / may the good life be truer than bad dreams / may the barrel rise slowly should you be the debtor / should you be late, may time wait as you please
