The World Is Everything Tour, brochure CD 2007

The World Is Everything

The world is everything
The world is everything
And I move close
But you move closer
And out of the spring
And into the summer
And out of the dark
Into the blessing of others
The table of goods
The bright bolt of lightning
And she loves him there once
But she's still not through fighting

And you can't swallow it
But you can't spit it out
It's there in her hair
It's coming out of her eyes
To taste her is bitter
But the world is alive
And the world is everything
The world is everything
The world is everything

The World Is Everything

Bonus track on the The World Is Everything 2007 tourbook sampler.

Sleepwalkers

Your poetry describing me
It doesn't come close
You work the handle
You smear and turn
But you come no closer to meaning

It's your vanity
That's obvious
It embarasses
Those that adore you
But who's gonna talk
Oh how it'll hurt
You were always unstable
But you've gotten worse

You looked into mirrors
Where death was at work
Of that you were certain
But it was all surface
And surface is numb

Something to wake us
From cultural slumbers
You fucking sleepwalkers
Go on and sleep

Go on and sleep

This is tomorrow

Sleepwalkers

Bonus track on the The World Is Everything 2007 tourbook sampler and re-issued on Sleepwalkers.

Atom and Cell

Her skin was darker than ashes
And she had something to say
Bout being naked to the elements
At the end of yet another day
And the rain on her back that continued to fall
From the bruise of her lips
Swollen, fragile, and small

And the bills that you paid with were worth nothing at all
A lost foreign currency
Multi-coloured, barely reputable
Like the grasses that blew in the warm summer breeze
Well she offered you this to do as you pleased

And where is the poetry?
Didn’t she promise us poetry?

The redwoods, the deserts, the tropical ease
The swamps and the prairie dogs, the Joshua trees
The long straight highways from dirt road to tar
Hitching your wheels to truck, bus, or car

And the lives that you hold in the palm of your hand
You toss them aside small and damn near unbreakable
You drank all the water and you pissed yourself dry
Then you fell to your knees and proceeded to cry

And who could feel sorry for a drunkard like this
In a democracy of dunces with a parasites kiss?

And where are the stars?
Didn’t she promise us stars?

Nothing will ever be as it was
The price has been paid with a thousand loose shoes
Pictures are pasted on shop windows and walls
Like a poor mans Boltanski
Lost one and all.

Sell, sell
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell,
Sell,
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell,
Sell,
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell

Atom and Cell

Nine Horses track

Get The Hell Out (Burnt Friedman Remix)

Get the hell out
Honey, it's your birthday

Check the phonebook
Find a close relation

Pack a suitcase
Get ye to the station

Get the hell out
Honey, it's your birthday

Find a motel
Book yourself a long stay

Find a safehouse,
Far from this location

Take some good advice
Get ye to the station

When he finds out
You know you've got it coming

If you survive this,
Girl, you're really something

Get the hell out

Caroline
You're breaking my heart
But I'll remain
Unchanged

Caroline, Caroline
You're breaking my heart
But I'll remain
Unchanged

Get the hell out
Get the hell out

Caroline
You're breaking my heart
But I'll remain
Unchanged

And yours, yours was the saddest face
I would never, you know, I would never

Caroline, Caroline
I would never

Get the hell out

Get The Hell Out (Burnt Friedman Remix)

Track from the Money For All EP

Exit/Delete

Feels like an ending
She's winding her way towards a conclusion
That never comes
Caroline feels uncomfortably numb

She's in deep
Surrendering to the promise of sleep
Almost done
Caroline plays an audience of one

And it isn't polite
She won't even try
A problem to no one
A problem to none

How can it be as quiet as this
This close to the edge?
Caroline says she's nobody's friend

How can you breathe
Embarrassed to be this far left of alone?
Caroline knows there's nobody home

It's ending
Winding it's way to a conclusion
Nearly done
Caroline knows there's nothing to come

When in doubt
She wanted it get it all down in writing
Didn't count
Better if someone else works it out

The files are deleted
No resisting at all
Already defeated
