1. '84 SHEEPDOG

They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain, they fixed it...before you knew the difference.

And if the Good Lord's good sheep do their jobs,
you would never see they were wolves underneath.
But Good Lord have you ever seen so many teeth marks?
That's right, those containers of light come with a kiss.
But they got quite a bite.

They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain when you were young.
Fixed your brain, they fixed it...before you knew the difference.
(Ohhhhh)
They fixed your brain, they fixed it...before you knew the difference.

Come on!

We got our sidewalks.
We got all of our safely lit streets.
We got all of our light tested beliefs.
But when I find love so bright in the alleyway,
they throw her overboard, I watch her get lost in the wake.

They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain, they fixed it...before you knew the difference.
(WOAH!!)
They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain when you were young.
They fixed your brain, they fixed it...before you knew it.
OH!

2. ERRAND RUM

No, I won't play that song,
to hear you singing it back.
It is all wrong.
If I ever told the truth,
he was never dead, at least not to you.
But you still sing, you still do.

We are so young.
We are so young now.
Hold your head up for the world to spin around.

Old friend we used to talk.
What we used to say, I can't recall.
Was I really listening?
Or was I just waiting for my turn to talk?
I got everything to say too.

We are so young.
We are so young now.
Hold your head up, baby soon I'll be around.

Round and round we go we go.
Round and round we go we go,
and round and round we go we go.
(I know you hate the sound but baby I can't stop 'em)
Round and round we go.

We are so young.
We are so young now.
Hold your head up for the world to spin around.

We are so young.
We are so young now.
Hold your hands out for what we can't pull down.


3. INTO THE SEA

And it's alright, it's alright
And it's alright, it's alright
Everybody is a failure in this light
And it's okay, it's okay
And it's okay, it's okay
Underneath it nobody's back is straight

And I tried to stop it when
I saw your posture start to bend
But honey it was not mine to lift

Go throw yourself into the sea
Go throw yourself into
Throw yourself into the sea

And it's alright, it's alright
And it's alright
I can't make it right
Somebody put a bad lens in your eye
And you try to shed your skin
When you saw yourself in it so thin
But you only shed your blood
When you climb out, you can't climb back in

Go throw yourself into the sea
Go you throw yourself into the sea
Though we don't need a mountain moved
We just want to move ourselves
Take us somewhere, take us somewhere
Anywhere else

Go throw yourself into the sea
Go throw yourself into the sea

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright

Go throw yourself into the sea
Go throw yourself into the sea
Though we don't ever see you move,
slowly the wind turns you to sand
in the hands of children on the shore


4. MADE TOO PRETTY

We bear your name,
and you let us say
you are something that you're not.
As if you were made after we saw our own faces,
and knew we were gods enough.

I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare we cannot break.
We know nothing changes too slowly.
Someday we might come down,
but who's to really say?

And if we are the body,
how'd the pretty men get so ugly?
How'd he get all these spaces between each limb?
And if there is one thing bigger than my head,
that's the distance I've been mislead.

'Cause I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare and we can't break.
We know nothing changes too slowly.
And someday I might come down,
oh, I don't wanna come down.
I think we became too pretty.

We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves don't see we're in need.
We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves don't see we're in need.

I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare and we can't break.
I think we were made too pretty.
Yeah, so much we don't see it yet.
We don't see it.

We know nothing changes too slowly.


5. LADY BLUE

I can explain why I cannot give my heart back.
I left it with my Lady Blue.
What was her name?
She flew in, I caught her.
I was a fool to let her go.

She goes, she goes with her hollow bones, she goes.
Every year she's back for the season.
I have to keep my windows closed.
I couldn't shake what my mother warned me of.
Try to keep me safe between the pews.
I stepped away, saw that Love was outside.
She wore a name, just a different one.

They all say,
'I'm sorry boy, you shouldn't fly with her kind.
They found a way out of God's love.'

She goes, she goes with her hollow bones.
Keeping it pretty is getting pretty old.
Keeping it pretty is getting pretty old.
It's getting pretty old.

Round and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she wont stay dead.
Stay down.

There's an awful lot of holes I gotta dig,
when I know you're gonna climb back up again.
Stay dead. Stay down.

Stay dead. Stay down.
Stay across the sea, but I know where you'll be.
When I look around and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she won't stay dead.
Stay down.

Lady you're a lure, dancing on the bar.
Oh-ho, you know you are.
You call em' to the door, hook em' in the jaw.
Just for tonight, right?

But maybe when you're bored with the easy caught,
and when I can't afford another empty touch,
maybe then we'll board our ships with a couple crashing hearts.

Round and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she stay dead.
Stay down.
Round and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she won't get out of my head.
Stay in the ground.
She won't get out of my head.
Stay in the ground.
She won't stay dead. She won't stay down.
She won't stay dead. She won't stay down.
She won't stay dead. (She goes.)
She won't stay down. (She goes.)
She won't stay.


6. PETTY

Is this it at the top?
I didn't know there was not a ceiling
Or that the air up here was so thin
I just want my wanting to stop
I know you warned us of drought
We didn't believe it
Now we can't keep water from freezing

You are just in time to move aside
No one ever comes here stays for long
You're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride
Overgrown

There's a kid on the cover
And I know that he doesn't believe
In the misery that he sings
Yeah it's just what he thinks he needs

If all the world's a stage then it's not mine
'Cause no one ever stays on you for long
You're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride
It keeps growing

And you are just in time to move aside
No one ever comes here stays for long
You're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride

If all the world's a stage then it's not mine
'Cause no one ever stays on you for long
Yeah you're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride
Overgrown


7. DAUGHTER

It's a shame what I thought of her
when I saw her that way.
It didn't change what you thought of her.
She's been your daughter since she was made.

Since I was made, I've been leaving.
I'd say I'd change but I wouldn't believe it.
It's 'cause my legs, they don't forget.
When they find a way out, they'll always take it.

Oooh we don't
Nooh we don't
we don't know how we got here,
the way is overgrown.
Oooh we don't
Nooh we don't
we don't know how we became this.

She has a name but I don't have to know
'cause all I'm after is all she has to show.
We cannot save, we can't even slow
our loss of innocence every new child has to grow.

Oooh we don't
Nooh we don't
we don't know how we got here,
the way is overgrown.
Oooh we don't
Nooh we don't
we don't know how we became this.


8. PIRATE BLUES

Before you, your Mom and your Dad used to
smoke in the Texas sun.
They were young once too.
And your Mom, she found Jesus
while your old man stepped out
and drew up his veins.

It's quiet in the house of the old.
You can hear through grinding teeth,
clocks taking their toll.
'Cause time has a mind of its own
like our sun spinning around
it won't slow for you now.

Oh, I wanna catch in a song
notes I don't hear yet,
but I will when I am gone.

I've been pouring my heart up,
up through the floor boards
but you don't live here no more.

Oh, you wanna catch in a lens
color your green eyes don't see just yet.

The horsemen, they all blow out their torches.
I can see you still shining now.
You sleep in a bed for a giant
while you wait for your love to come home
but you don't know she's not coming back.

Oh, I wanna find out I'm wrong
and every road leads us home.
Oh, but I'll never know
'cause I keep my eyes closed
and only go where I've been before.

Oh, say you don't know if you don't.


9. CAPO

Evil
Evil wears a suit on the screen
With a hotline
You call to buy your blessing
In the holy name
Came a prophet
Putting his hands in the pockets
Of all the thoughtless and naive

I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing, nothing to lose
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say

I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing, nothing new
I've got nothing to say to you
At my throat i fork in two
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing too (you)

I watched my rotating feet
Hover above brownish red streets
The love I carried made me
So unique
There's something moving in my chest
It was dirty once
But at its best
The love that kept us young
Oh, it's old under our sun


10. GATES

I've been looking for a new course
A different way to say your name, to hear your voice
I've gotta find new chords
Well how my new body, it shines
Somehow your blood makes you blind
To our divine, I am all yours

We will wear compassion
We will wear it
And the gates of Hell
Won't stand against it

We will wear compassion
We will wear it
And the gates of Hell
They won't stand, they won't stand against it.

We will wear compassion
We will wear it
And the gates of Hell (and the gates of Hell, they won't stand against it!)
They won't stand against it.

We will wear compassion
We will wear it (we will wear it)
And the gates of Hell (and the gates of Hell, they won't stand against it!)
They won't stand, they won't stand against it
