When your love light’s burning real low Don’t let it, don’t let it go When your love light’s burning real low Don’t let it, don’t let it go Out Out Your heart is a little machine Do you even know when I mean? Your heart is a little machine Do you even know when I mean? Do you doubt? Do you doubt? That the world needs all of our love The world...needs all of our love She whispers into your ear Do you wanna, do you wanna hear? She whispers into your ear Do you wanna, do you wanna hear? Come to me Come to me Every feeling passing through Listen and you’ll know what to do Every feeling passing through Listen and you’ll know what to do Up against these dark and wild things These dark and wild things ‘Cause the world needs all of our love The world...needs all of our love

Oh my sweet sweet little thing Wired up cacophony All the things you mean to me The boredom and the ecstasy Oh, you never disagree The things you do make me believe Chorus Georgette You make me lonely, Georgette I’m never lonely, Georgette You make me lonely, Georgette The universe tucked in your curves The monstrous parts I should have learned You mimic like the singsong bird Cascading in your perfect thirds I had my chance but I didn’t swerve So now I get what I deserve Chorus The power in your molecules The way that we become our tools Breaking all the silly rules Making us into your fools You sparkle like a little jewel The yes yes yes that you unspool Chorus Bridge Never lonely when you’re here Never lonely when you’re here Always lonely when you’re here Always lonely when you’re here The boredom and the ecstasy Chorus Bridge

How the room feels once she leaves All alone on New Year’s Eve Absence turns into a thing Like breathing in, like robins’ wings The ground will break, the frost will heave Can I remember what I grieve? It’s said with each memory We change the contours of the dream Chorus I wish I could remember my future Then I could forget my past Then I wouldn’t have to lose her Every time that I look back The saddest rooms, the muffled sounds The wind blows in and the phones go down A silver-tongued, impassioned vow No match against the canyon howl Oh, is this what it’s like to drown? An hour from the nearest town Years ago but I’m back there now Memories turn me inside out Chorus

Something about your eyes Takes me back to Missouri skies I can try to explain Why I haven’t returned your calls It’s not that I’m busy Something about your eyes Takes me back to Missouri skies

I been all around the world And I keep coming back to you I lost myself in verse My eyes reflected many moons I’ve fallen short Of all the hopes placed in me By prophets and prospectors Who said who I was supposed to be Yeah, I’ve been a coward I have indulged all my demons Aguardiente with the gods Mezcal with the heathens I’ve been on the mountain I’ve been torn down and cheated Still I relied on you I wouldn’t trade away this freedom A blade of light cuts through And my dark hands tremble As I dance with the Goat Man Drink wine from his thimble In the valley outside Vegas Heaven and earth trade places I traded my good fortune For beauty and transcendence I burned up all my things In a blaze, an incandescence Stone on the heart My friends and their professions Oh, I make a living Making these confessions I paint in the mud Right before a storm Weave cosmos from the chaos On a path that’s barely worn

The Mother Tongue Ferocious love Embroidered dream Unstitched mythology The ugliness Has no witness Agitated pulse Beauty cold and false Chorus There’s a space inside of me That swallows up everything Blackhole of the soul Where everything’s unraveling You have it, too Pale flower, pale moon Our lives just an interlude Between two solitudes The body accepts What the mind rejects The great undoing Poor dove cooing Chorus Love and noise Erase, destroy Heart archival Night survival The breathing stones The wolf resewn Dark form moving The surface of your dream

Dans mon rêve je marche a toi Tu tiens la lune entre toi et moi Tu dis que je ne suis pas prêt à voir Alors tu tiens juste un miroir Mais le miroir est vide Je me sens si évide Si c'était ton rêve, que ferais-tu Enterre ces souvenirs dans les trous Chorus Dans mon rêve Tu tiens la lune Comme un arbre, mon cœur se ramifié A la foudre, il est sacrifié Le ciel est arbitraire et cruel Le mouvement de nuage est inhabituel Chorus

Hummingbird and the Smoking Mirror Went down to Fellini’s to grab a beer Ask me about anything, except my career Oh, I know all about you and the cosmic balance Trust me, I bear you no ill will, not a mote of malice What we need is a plan -- I’ll be your ears and eyes If we don’t outsmart them, then we will be out-prophesied Hummingbird and the Smoking Mirror Tossed all night, turning over their fears Both of them dreamt of a face scarred by tears Clawing up on the world’s back they heard a spirit weeping Recklessly exposed, there will be no peaceful keeping The world known -- it’s about to get topsy turvy The victor, he who questions the least and shows no mercy Word passed from one strange language into another then another The night sky with its mask of stars providing just a bit of cover What are their intentions, these intruders with their shiny skin Can’t help but look at their chests and see a potential offering When war is your desert, when war is your task And everything’s determined by the questions you can’t ask The soothsayer came to read the signs, and that’s your destiny But she didn’t know about the white gods and all the things she’d never seen Hummingbird and the Smoking Mirror Were here and then they disappeared Was it something said, what did they overhear? Did they abandon us in our hour of need Are we to bow to our fate? Either way we’re bound to bleed Here on this island, where we first saw the eagle perch On a cactus, snake in mouth, the end of our unending search Hummingbird and the Smoking Mirror, had their chance but now it’s gone On the cusp of a new age but darkness seeps into this dawn Temple on fire, the sky, the northern lights Where do we belong, in their new world of our lives

Blood races to the heart Fold your limbs here in the dark You think that this is real Just ‘cause that’s the way it feels Chorus You say you love me But you don’t even know me You say you need me But you don’t need anyone A sadness so precise You had to name it twice Loneliness and despair Coming up for air Chorus It’s not your fault When your palms get hot It’s reptilian One in 7.8 billion Chorus The static hiss A palimpsestic kiss Leftover from the birth Of our little universe Chorus

Waking up with a charley horse Waking up in a state of divorce Soaking my hands in a tub of ice Feeling my heart squeezed in a vise Chorus Still hope is better than despair Curdled milk in my coffee cup Not going out but I dressed up This kitchen folds in on itself Does this blood belong to someone else? Chorus In a hypothetical state of mind I left that part of me behind But the hungry ghosts they’re coming fast They’re rummaging through all my trash If I could dream back all I’ve lost I’d sleep all day while my heart defrosts A shoot of green out on the lawn That’s all I dream since she’s been gone Chorus

Chorus I didn’t want to be right But I had to be wrong To get along All I am, my ruminations Random quantum fluctuations The soft light bending through the glass Questions I’ve been afraid to ask Chorus Lucid dreaming, epiphytic love The throbbing past, or none of the above In this brimming world, of which we’re barely conscious To what exactly did I make a promise? What if God has no intentions? We’re simply scraps, tossed off inventions How to find meaning in the world’s wheel In the space between what is and the ideal These little thoughts I classify them Maybe it’s best to not dignify them Ones and zeroes, the mundane, the celestial The decay of everything we built here Makes us feel something, makes us feel special
