One More With Feeling
I'm losing steam
I'm losing me
I'm losing patients
With this dream
I'm not what I said I'd be by now
I'm not what I said I'd be by now
And I'm losing steam
Running up hill
Weighing my means
Trying to kill
All my indifference
Clouding my mind
'Casue I'm tired of telling you
That I'm doing fine
Can we get one more with feeling
Can we get one more again
Stand on your marks boy
Stand on your marks boy
Smile real big
Are you having fun?
How couldn't you be?
You're the one their
Here to see
Can we get one more with feeling?
Can we get one more again?

Blue Cutlass
Electric language
A Cold War cupid
Deception has many hands
To rock you back to sleep
Daydream's promise
In your blue Cutlass
The Butterfly sticker in the window
A bold winner's plan
Pull me in and make me warmer
Pick me up and start again
Place my hand gently at
The nape of your neck
How's anyone supposed to live
How's anyone supposed to live
How's anyone supposed to live like that
A siren's shade
Yellow remembers
Deliberating on the lawn
As you made love to the room
Some of them get busy
Some of them make gloom
Some of them know many nights
On the dark side of the moon
How's anyone supposed to live
How's anyone supposed to live
How's anyone supposed to live like that

Hummingbird
I saw your smile break
like an ocean wave on a Summer day
I saw the pain
Rush up beside your eyes
Stretched out at the back of
The commissary's tile floor
Lonely then
All the more lonesome still
Now here you are
Grown into the girl
You thought you would be
Stunned
Looking for words
Forgetting that we
Knew each other when
We both knew the right thing to say
I saw the front page of the paper say you had gone away
A lone mistake
Where could you've gone to?
Your passport's on your dresser drawer
Collected with everything you own
A life's work in boxes
Evidence to a world
Lit
Up by the thought
Of who you would be
If only you were
The past
Ever in dark
It buzzes away
A hummingbird's wings
Wishing I knew the right thing
To say

Mudslides and Heartquakes
Holding the light that you left as you pushed out from the inside
Quiet demise, sweet as a lie, we know why he cried
Living in the shadow of all the many guilty eyes who
Question the life we know is right cause he loved you
Stranger inside until you had died and then we all knew
Secrets of love gone to heaven above
I know I knew
I wouldn't like the way you'd part your hair you an angel
Put down my glass and leave all my bad manners at your table
Heartache arrives and some how I survive all the mourning
Purpose! I rise to conjure up your memory
The mudslides and heartquakes they shake me
They shake shake shake

It Doesn't Get Better
I don't wanna brag
I cried for a hundred years
Showed up to your house
Marveled when you were not there
Thought it was a dream
Woke up in a nightmare
Torn out at the seams
How could you just disappear?
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
'Cause I wasn't through with loving you
i used to feel good
Now I don't feel anything
All my thoughts are ghosts
I see you in everything
Torture is the day
Trying hard to stay awake
Sadness has become
The one thing I don't have to fake
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
'Cause I wasn't through with loving you
It doesn't get better than this
It doesn't get better
It doesn't get better than this
it doesn't get better

Dust To Dust
When I got the phone call I was standing by the window that you hated
Hoping this was just another joke
Last time we spoke we made some plans
Like shaking hands
And I told you I was proud
And I hoped you'd find
All you needed to smile
I can't think of Baltimore the same way that I used to since you did it
Adam says it rains there all the time
I'm not surprised I miss you too
We all do
And we all wish that we knew
What we needed to
Come back
If there is a heaven, I hope that when I get there you'll be waiting
Singing songs and making Jesus laugh
And if there's no place I can go
I'll try to know
The words to every song you ever wrote
And I'll sing them all
And try to save the world

I work down at the Market Basket
The one by Route 11 Chevrolet
And I’ll be here bagging your groceries
Instead of walking ‘cross a graduation stage
Never looked me in the eye when I was socking the shelves
But now I’m essential personnel
Got a girlfriend who’s a nurse down in the city
Working hard right on the front lines
When you found out her family’s from Oaxaca
Turned out you then you weren’t no friend of mine
And she’s got family in an ICE detention cell
But she’s been deemed essential personnel
I got a brother doing time in the state penn
Possession with intent to sell
They busted his dumb ass with a duffle bag of grass
And they threw him right in a prison cell
Now he’s got a cellmate who’s not doing so well
But they’re not essential personnel
My daddy drives a truck for Tyson Chicken
All along the Eastern Seaboard
They never called him a hero
When he came back from the Vietnam War
They spit in his face and they damned him to Hell
But now he’s essential personnel
Well they can’t get the Congress in session
They’ve deemed it unsafe to meet
Seems that it’s not on the agenda
To help folks like us get back on their feet
But kindness is a line that they’d never stoop so low to sell
Seems to me their not essential personnel
