Connector
03:11
|
|||
The echoes of the greats
Are ringing in my head
Rusted pipes and fallow fields
Buckled roads ahead
When it floods they will come
I am a connector
If we build it
They will flood
When it floods
They will come
Our work here is never done
Chicago to Calumet
We connect it
I am a connector
What is never finished will never be done
Right now

Absolute Zero
02:08
|
|||
Outside the lander
I’m all alone now
I’m on the big rock
It’s getting cold
Absolute, absolute zero
I’m all alone
This isn’t forever
It’s not long enough
I want to bring you back
It’s getting colder, and it’s getting tough
I’m not speaking in code
I know what I mean
Mach 31, mach 13
Absolute, absolute zero
I’m all alone
That’s where I’ll end up
I want to bring you back
It’s getting colder and it’s getting tough

Chapter Verse Overture
04:53
|
|||
I read the chapters
I read the verse
I was sold the dream
And I earned the curse
We conduct ourselves with grace, with dignity
We conduct ourselves with grace
And we move with alacrity
I was sold the dream
I earned the curse
There is nothing better
There is nothing worse
These cold hands of technology
I’m begging asking you please
Just a shred of humanity
Just a touch of sympathy
The cold hands of humanity
I’m begging…

South Branch
03:20
|

You turned back
You turned around
You changed your mind
All the time
You turned back
You changed your mind
I’ve seen it happen
All the time
You took the South Branch
You changed your mind
You turned back
You’re not coming back
Guilt, sadness, anger, shame
I’ve been through it all
I came out the same
You turned back
You changed your mind
Your turned around
All the time
You took the South Branch
You changed your mind
You turned back
To the past
It’s unreal or so it seems
It’s unreal is it all a dream?
Guilt, sadness, anger, shame

The Grid
05:05
|
|||
The line of the climb
Dissembled and rembled
Tear the whole County down
The sun never sets on this vision of mine
Archer
Elston
Clybourn
Lincoln
I was always there
You were always here
I am always here
I am always here
The line of the climb
Dissembled and rembled
Bring the whole country down
The sun never sets on this vision of mine
Archer
Ogden
Milwaukee
Clark Street
The line of the climb
Dissembled and rembled
Bring the whole world down
The sun never sets on this vision of mine
Get on The Grid

Gold Standard
03:15
|

Bretton Woods ain’t shit to me
Dylan stole my hits from me
Bretton Woods ain’t shit to me
Gold Standard can piss up a tree
Bretton Woods meant so much to me
When Dylan sings he speaks to me
It’s a Gold Standard
I’ll take census in 10 years time
I’ll tell you what’s mine what’s mine what’s mine
Big Boys said “start your own band”
Nina said goddamn goddamn
Gold Standard
Not all random
Heads up, Heads up
Across the transom
Big Boys said “start your own band”
Nina said goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn goddamn
Valens and Holly
Gone too quick
Heads up heads they stole my hits
Start again start again
For the Gold

When I Hit The Ground
03:28
|
|||
Weighed down by hopes, surrounded by ghosts
My Mother and my Dad, I had all of that
When the lights go down, and the sunset hits the ground
When I hit the ground, when we all fall down
When the lights go down and the sirens sound
When I hit the ground, we all fall down
We all fall down, when I hit the ground
In four more hours until we’ll hit the ground
I got a red card in this game
I got a yellow card in this life
From corroded ideals and rusted minds
I woke up stolen, I woke up broke
On the dark side of the room
Look for me I’ll see you soon
From the greats and ghosts
Nothing left to hope
Nothing to be found
Thirty thousand feet until I’ll hit the ground

Elysian Fields
04:07
|
|||
Remember when we first met
When it all changed
Sunny and sublime
When it all changed
Ho-Whoah
One more step
One more stride
In the end
I know I tried
By the highway and the tollway
Halfway to Eden
Charmed and connected
We wouldn’t be going back
Hey 4X
Oh-oh-whoah
Wouldn’t be going back
What is never finished will never be done

Sweetest Bells
03:09
|

The sweetest bells
Of my life
I swear I’ve heard them
Once or twice
I’ve got to choose
It’s not me anymore
I’ve got nothing to lose
It’s what I have become
I lied to myself
For almost half my life
I had cancer almost
Bite my tongue twice
So believe me
Believe me
What I say is true
It’s not me anymore
Reinvented and stunned
Am I too smart
To be that numb
Why does it smart
To feel that numb
I don’t know, maybe
I died twice
Almost
Takes your breath away
Almost, almost already
The sweetest bells
Of my life
I swear I’ve heard them
Once or twice

Dry Spell
04:06
|
|||
It just pours out of me, after a year
It’s like a bright shining light, it grows and then it goes
It pours out of me
Our work here is never done
We all try to do our part
We all have to do our part
To fill the hole that’s left
From Wilmette to Calumet
You made it turn
For generations we’ve never learned
You’re so dry
It just pours out of me all the time now
Like a bright light that grows and goes
It pours out of me
My work here is finally done
Our work here is finally done
To fill the hole that’s left
From Dekalb to Calumet
You made it turn
For generations we’ve never learned
You’re so dry
What is never finished will never be done
