Is there a better life in Tennessee? Is there a better piece of peace for me? Do all the country singers strum through amps with tubes? Does the lap steel sound out rounder than the moon? I want a better life in Tennessee 'Cause I've been there. I was under the impression that regression was inevitable Your heart starts beating then learns how to be venerable And then the clock starts turning your words start burning so hot that it feels cold And then like before you were born no more beats It stops when you're old. But I'm on top of the world here - No more regret and there's no fear - I just wish I could see the stage, 'cause I am underage, I wonder if they will even Let me play?

I could be A landshark, Swimmin' in India!!! I could be A SeaHorse, Swimmin' in the ocean - You could be A landmark - Screwdriver? Fencepost? You could be A light house - Bike pump: (Haste, Post) What do you say to being needles in hay? cz I can't make my own choice, can't hear my own voice, and I'm a shark among boys. I could be Norwegian, Dragon and a cupcake! I could eat More tea leaves Fortunes make a big break.... All I know is that I need to find solace soon Or I'm going to have to leave this room I was breathing on nothing, nothing but air It was esoteric if anyone cared Is the moon even lit tonight? I don't see anything bright.... BUT I could be A landshark As easy as I could breathe. Watch me walk On land with Fins and shark teeth .

When you look at me, Do you think "free"? Do you think everything is gonna come out right for me? No, you're a lonely man, But you have family plans, whenever I come 'round, you make excuses, say you can't. But fuck the system tho, Forget the status quo. listen to Walk the Moon and feel like yourself when you're home You don't have to be hip, Just feel your fingertips - As long as you are trying, Why would you ever give a shit? But it's hard to be calm When you're carrying a bomb, When it goes off it's not only gonna kill you Tell me I can do this on my own. When you think happiness do you think crystal bliss? Do you think ignorance and hangin' out and eating chips? No, you think music, man! You think it's all too grand - you could just fall down when you sing about Uzbekistan. But what is balance dude? It just confuses you - friends, enemies, family, music, love and solitude. While I'm in total bliss! Even APOCALYPSE news couldn't shake me up - Why don't you just live up to this? But I'm going to be calm, While I'm eating off this bomb, It won't go off, I'm leaving it right here. You tell me I can do this on my own. You tell me I can do this all alone - but I can't do this on my own. I can't do this all alone. I don't know much about electrons - I don't know much about running in circles and circles and getting out - and getting out. So I can't do this on my own. I can't do this all alone.

My friends are a crack pipe dragging its feet. When it burns up, I'll feel the heat. and I don't know what to do I'm stuck in this room and I'm pacing, I'm pacing, I'm pacing, three steps at a time. What do you think would happen here if nothing changed? So I will try to get older and figure this out, and everything changes, will change, will change, will change. So with hands stuck to the wall, I push - and it falls. But what do I see but another stone wall? And what do I hear but a breath from my lungs? And what can I utter but a stuttering call, reaffirming I need your help to get through this all - reaffirming I needed your help all along. These aren't friends, they're a snake bite. and I am not scared. Don't give me the answer, Just give me some air.

Automatic rush, fall to the ground, This is not a drill. Grab me by the hand, drag me up to town, shove me down a hill. We were in a public park well after dark Lookin' scared. It was just a joke back then, But now it's what I am. So take me shooting tonight, it will be a good way to hide Cuz no one will look for me at the shooting range Think of what you think, crawl in the dust, Ashes of a cow. Spotted, layered floor, saw us, cut us down. What do we do now? I spent the night in Тунгуска, Looking at a picture of you from when you were different, I'm glad you're what you are now, If I had dropped in then this would all be stagnant, I'll drop a spoon on a hard wood floor, It will wake everyone in the house up - that's why I'm in Тунгуска! I said до свидания друзья! So watch as the meteorite falls down, It will fall near me, it will fall near the ground Last night, when we walked home, I was worried that the cops had followed - You stayed near me in New Mexico when all I felt was hollow. I remember easier times than these, Sitting in my basement playing with me, but it's alright for it to be hard sometimes, That's how we grow.

Monterrey, 1995 I would give anything to climb a mountain today. But I'm here, and I'm here with you, and you're beautiful, and come to think of it, I wouldn't give you away In Taluca My father said the air was so thin he couldn't sleep - and the heat nearly drove him insane. Stopped by the cops Just ten miles from the border. Put a twenty behind your license, in ten seconds you're free to go Now it's the fourth of July. And when the fireworks blast off tonight I will kiss you Until that moment I am waiting alone With all the stars in the sky and explosions in the night I think we'll be fine When the American flag waves, the colors will make us brave, it will be alright. Mexico Just a few hundred miles South - gives me chills, fear and a good kind of thrill. When my passport comes, I can go anywhere that I want to, Drive South in New Mexico, or to Canada from Ohio and do you know that about me? It's always, "Anywhere but here." But then anywhere turns to shit, and all I'm left with is nowhere. And from the smoke in your car after you promised me that you'd quit, I can promise you that I never really cared at all about it. i never cared But now it's the fourth of July, and when the fireworks blast off tonight I will kiss you Until that moment I am waiting alone Please god, I hope I don't have to go through this alone With all the stars in the sky and explosions in the night, I think we'll be fine When the American flag waves, i don't care, I was already brave, It will be alright.

You talked last night after nearly a year of holding everything in. The words poured out like Niagara Falls. So I closed my eyes and I held my breath and I made the decision that by the time I released it, I'd know what I wanted, And I'd start getting there. So on the way to Canada, I started to care. On the way to New Mexico, I will hold my hand over your mouth so no fingernails and no cigarettes can get in - they're the only sign of your nerves, and you made it past eighteen, I want to help you past twenty three. I can't express how much you helped me. You talked last night, and it made me love you more than I thought I could.
