Ghosts

There are ghosts in the hallways
There are ghosts in my mind
All I want is to leave the past behind me
But my past is with me all the time
Yes, my past is with me all the time
Now my car is pointed eastward
And my heart is on the line
Now I have to leave the past behind me
But my past is with me all the time
Yes, my past is with me all the time
Yes, you all are with me all the time.

All will be well
And all will be well
And all manner of thing will be well, will be well
When I wake up on the mountain I will hear you call my name
And all 1950s horror cannot possibly explain
That I am a man of unclean lips
and with these eyes I've done evil
I am evil, I'm primeval
But you welcome me the same, singing
All will be well
And all will be well
And all manner of thing will be well, will be well
When I wake up there in anchorage and look around the space
It is cold, and it is lonely, and I want to hide my face
But I look up there to heaven and I say, I know you're up there
I am down here, I am living, and I'll never be the same, singing
All will be well
And all will be well
And all manner of thing will be well, will be well

No Haters

Not saying that's a rainbow, but it's mighty long
Not saying it's the best, but it's a real good song
Not saying he'll be winning, but he's a real good shot
Not saying what I am, but I know what I'm not
And do unto others
what they wouldn't do for you
Throw yourself in front of the triceratops if he's in the way
And when the Mongols come on unicorns, please lead them astray
And when a horde of Swedish supermodels moves in down the street
Dude, grab your bros and have a meet and greet
And do unto others
what they wouldn't do for you
Let the very last train go to someone else
Let the doctor see someone who is in worse health
Let them take the car, although you had a date
Let your enemies be the ones who hate
And do unto others
what they wouldn't do for you
If your rainbow goes double and your boy's a champ
Turn the song up loud so dudes and Swedes can dance
Let the Mongols pasture their steeds out in the yard
Find a leafy jungle for our dinosaur
oh yeah? oh yeah?
No haters.

Driving past 10 gas stations
all more expensive than I want to pay today
and they say the Middle East will quit before the end of the world
What if they mean today?
I'm never gonna make it to your house on time
Because I know that I will have to stop
But you say, that's okay, no hurry, hey, hey,
it's not the end of the world
This is a reason I like you
For our compatible, fantastical eschatological views
And I will get there, when I get there
with you

Denver Mint
04:12
|

Sometimes I am terrified by the amount of things I love
Not the least of which is because all these things will pass away
and then I will be hiding in the dark
I know nothing gold can stay, but here's to trying to explain
that to a heart that thinks it's Midas, or at least the Denver Mint
and I am hiding in the dark
Cause you are the light
And you set me right
Because I love these girls and guys, my heart is trying to disguise
itself as something boring, unpalatable to all disasters
I am hiding in the dark
I can make a fake disaster, nothing problem, even faster
than the time it takes for all the truth to make it to my heart
and I am hiding in the dark
Cause you are the light
And you set me right
Darkness isn't harsh
It's just reality, it's absence of delight
Darkness creeps in from the corners
telling me that nothing is alright
You beat back the demons
take the trash out
tell me you will win this fight
You, you've already been here,
and you've already won
Cause you are the light
And you set me right

Reverence Static
03:00
|

I can't hear your voice
That is my own fault
I have kept things between us
Things I say I want
Things I say I don't
I have kept this between us, this
This reverence static
This reverence static
Oh God, it is just reverence static
and I want it gone
on the better days than this
I wanna be your man
Doing the best I can
But I can't seem to be it
I am up and down
I am all around
And I can't seem to beat it, this
This reverence static
This reverence static
Oh God, it is just reverence static
and I want it gone
on the better days than this

New Life

Young man, anxious, stubborn as nails
Running my mouth with the tall, tall tales
Five years later with my edges worn down
Walking away from this lovely town
Come on and walk in the light with me
How do you say goodbye
to five years of your life?
I would like to recognize
contributions of all size.
All those who walked in the light with me
Come on and walk in the light with me
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen.
