Oh, how it's been so long,
We're so sorry we've been gone,
We were busy writing songs for you.
Oh, how it's been so long,
We're so sorry we've been gone,
We were busy writing songs for...
You don't have to worry
'Cause we're still the same
(We're still the same)
Band.
You don't have to worry,
You don't have to worry,
You don't.
You don't have to worry,
You don't have to worry,
You don't.
Oh, how it's been so long,
We're so sorry we've been gone,
We were busy writing songs for you |

Back to the streets where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Well, now we're feeling so good
Pickin' up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can
Into a place, where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place, hey
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean
Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began
Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Innocence.
Sunk the glow and drowned in covers,
send for all your absent lovers things.
Sheepish Wolves.
Looking lived in eating buttons,
Wink, just don't put your teeth on me.
Accidents.
Let the evening in the backdoor,
filled the room ceiling to the floor.
Beat backbones.
Grazed the poem and made it strange,
I wasn't born to be a skeleton.
Go on,
grab your hat and fetch a camera.
Go on, film the world before it happens.
Jealous orchard.
The sky is falling off the ceiling
while I'm tucking fibs into a cookie jar.
Bombed reverie.
It's useless searching in the cupboards
when everything you have is on your back. |

Clouds are marching along
Singing a song just like the do
If the clouds were singing a song
I'd sing along, wouldn't you too?
If you just knew what they could do
Oh, If you just knew what would they do
And if the birds are just hollow words
Flying along singing a song
What would they do if they just knew what they could do
Oh if they just knew
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
No it never gave a damn about me
I know it's mad but if I go to hell will you come with me or just leave?
I know it's mad but if the world were ending would you kiss me or just leave me?
Just leave me
Clouds are singing a song
marching along just like the do
If the clouds were playing a song
I'd play along wouldn't you too?
If you just knew what they could do
Oh, If you just knew what would they do
And if words are just hollow birds
Flying along singing a song
What would they do if they just knew what we could do
Oh if they just knew
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
No it never gave a damn about me
I know it's mad but if I go to hell will you come with me or just leave?
I know it's mad but if the world were ending would you kiss me or just leave me?
Just leave me
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
I know its sad that I never gave a damn about the weather
and it never gave a damn about me
No it never gave a damn about me |

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I'm someone I've never met.
You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes.
They spill unfound from a pretty mouth.
everybody gets there and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I'm the only one to blame.
Things have changed for me, and that's okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say.
I want to go where everyone goes,
I want to know what everyone knows
I want to go where everyone feels the same
I never said I'd leave the city,
I never said I'd leave this town.
A falling out we won't tiptoe about. |

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea out in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer
When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his light
In the middle of summer
In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer
All was golden when the day met the night
So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time
I give you this smile?"
So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise
Not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."
He was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around
Then he fell in love
In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night |

Our daydream spills from my gold head
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left a nod over sleeping waves
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candle swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds
The men all played along to marching drums
And boy did they have fun behind the sea
They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks
And we're all too small to talk to god
Yes, we're all too smart to talk to god"
Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
To us from the dock.
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk.
Scarecrow now it's time to hatch
Sprouting suns and ageless daughters.
Those watermelon smiles just can't ripen underwater
Just can't ripen underwater
The men all played along to marching drums
And boy did they have fun behind the sea
They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks
And we're all too small to talk to god
Yeah, we're all too smart to talk to god
Oh, we're all too smart to talk to god" |

Come save me from walking off a windowsill
or I'll sleep in the rain.
Don't you remember when I was a bird
and you were a map?
Now he drags down miles in America
briefcase in hand.
The stove is creeping up his spine again,
can't get enough trash.
He took the days for pageant
Became as mad as rabbits
With bushels of bad habits
Who could ask for anymore?
Yea who could have more.
His arms were the branches of a Christmas tree
preached the devil in the belfry.
He checked in
to learn his clothes had been thieved at the train station.
Rope hung his other branch
and at the end was a dog called bambi
Who was chewing on his parliaments
when he tried to save the calendar business.
The poor son of a humble chimney sweep
fell to a cheap crowd
So stay asleep and put on that cursive type
you know we live in a toy.
Paul Cates bought himself a trumpet from the salvation army
But there ain't no sunshine in his song
We must reinvent love. |
