Love of Ages
02:34

Anne was an aspiring actress working in a cafe called Muy Aquario
She got a face tattoo of her social done down in the spokes of the barrio And by the time she turned 20, she'd been hired to ghostwrite the autobiography of frozen rain
She went through so many insomniac poet boyfriends, and all of them surrendered to themselves just the same
So she said, "Love isn't fun, and love isn't free, no one in the universe will ever love me"
Pain of ages
I can hear you
All wrapped in your linens
Yeah, I know
Pain of ages
So now she's sleeping in a hut in the country working in a city built from steel guitar pride
And see her smoking a cigar on the old back porch, and all smiling and triple-fried
She gives way to no lovers, no, it isn't for her, and she will never feel sorry for herself anymore
She just watches Evil Dead 2 on DVD and builds small clay models of the earth's inner core
She's into igneous rocks, she likes 70s socks
Her friends all took care of her when she got chicken pox
Love of ages
I can hear you
All crushed in your pillows
Yeah, I know
Love of ages
Love of ages
Oh god
Well I said that I'm doing the best that I can
I can hear you
All wrapped in your linens
Yeah, I know
Love of ages
Love of ages
I can hear you...

The Loop
03:17
|
|||
Running around without a lord or savior
Preaching pills and modified behavior
There's a light or an answer somewhere slow
I slip through the snow
Towards a fire I thought I'd forgotten
The fire died and now I feel rotten
Every piece to this puzzle is a dupe
I'm sick of working for dirt so you can take it
Playing a flirt so I can make it
Baring my soul so you can get the truth
That was the loop
There's a rap at the window
There's a rail on the stairs
I wonder what I'd do without it
Would I fall? Oh no, I doubt it
God was such a simple man
He knew that life was all too precious
But even he could not protect us from ourselves
Is it all a dream?
This life that we perceive
Is it all a dream
For this American life
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
I'm a queen of sorts in my dominion
In a court of law my home's my kingdom
But my search for God has destroyed that home
I will go it alone
I will dance on golden paved highways
For a chance that this day will be my day
And when that day comes I will bear its fruits
I'm sick of working for dirt so you can take it
Playing a flirt so I can make it
Baring my soul so you can get the truth
That was the loop
God had such a simple plan
Wasted our time searching for meaning
But all this time the meaning's help our fellow man
It's laid out in the sand
This life of guns and cans
Is it all a sham?
(Hallelujah, hallelujah)
I'm sick of working for dirt so you can take it
Playing a flirt so I can make it
Baring my soul so you can get the truth
That was the loop

Whittler and the King
04:10
|

Awaken from your slumber
You don't feel anything
You think you're fine, but soon you'll find
The whittler and the king
Spin sordid tales of heartache
On spinwheels made from skin
The skin is mine, and soon I'll find
The whittler is within
And all the west was won, in the sun
But all the rest is none, it's no fun
You think that you're a whittler,
But really you're a king
As you divide, and pay no mind
You don't learn anything
You'll wish that you're a wise man
As wise as wise can be
But man takes you for granted
In this crumbling monarchy
Make a run for it
Make a run for it
Make a run for the cunning, the fun of it
Make a run for it
What will you think when the ice pick smashes the ice rink
Why not me?
Come out and face the sun
Come out and face the big one
Come out, the mouth to gun
Come out and chew the big gum
Come out and beat the drum
Beat on the drum the hardest
Come out and play the song
Come and avenge the artist
Come and avenge the artist
Come and avenge the artist
Come and avenge the artist
Come and avenge the artist
