Interstate 04:02
Mark one for the sickness Big ups, the disease From the surface to the lees To your knees, to your knees, to your knees Make arrest, then recede Till our curfew fills the need All the helping hands All the also-rans Well I am not your noble breed And I forgot your noble need In the farms, send out alarms In the fields, to the sun it yields In the night, climb back into the light And you are not the only one No you are not the only one Interstate What can wait Interstate When we've pulled it off The second the air is off

I became old in time I used to walk the pinon pine The curses, they would wait for me there A feather in your hat And not a thing to say about that I used to walk and no one would be there Always smoke in your eyes Always smoke in your eyes In the weekend All the girls they've been sleeping All the boys come home for repairs Bet you twenty-five years later When you're leaping Down the Sanctuary stairs Always smoke in your eyes Always smoke in your eyes

What will you forget? Your last castanet? I'm a sucker for that life Where will you remain? When they burn your dress in the rain? Good for you What will you recall? When they burn the leaves in the fall? Don't forget When you say you've known me awhile Maybe that's just a crisis of style Take down your disguise Shutter all the eaves from your eyes Heal those who'd be known Death and dream when we walk, walk alone, Listen here Dead kings in a dying year Little folk, catch a smoke, catch your fear When you say you've known me awhile Maybe that's just a crisis of style

I saw you: in the cold you were wed When you crossed over You saw me: I was young, bottom-fed Alone in the clover Red-winged blackbird Red as the dawn You will remind me What I'm working on You see me: got a ticket in my hand Black-bellied plover Wednesday night it was that Zeppelin cover band Custard Pie, then The Rover Red-winged blackbird Red from now on You will remember Where the lines have gone Red-winged blackbird Red as the dawn You will remind me What I'm working on But I can't see you I can't see you Oh what are you? I can't see you Oh what are you?

At Stake 02:34
Never awake I look to you, you're a constant Seldom at stake Here my hands, here my pockets But you can take You can stay out far too late You can heal, but not for long I'm a blackjack around these parts I'm a sandman You opened up your vacant heart I rent for damage What will you take? Wear your makeup way too fake You can promise, not for long Never awake For you, what a constant Always at stake My hands love my pockets What will you steal? Try to reveal but not for long Just be an artist all day long To feel To conceal Just be an artist all day long

Sugar Island 05:22
Gonna leave the city Sugar Island Baby You're an open book Why you still got took But you'd come To wait for the good What you should take back Oh, you never could Stumble back on the alarm clock Now you're fishing off a long dock You'd see all your friends And the best in them Wheels' hum Become all you know Let some go, take place When you gotta show Way on back, I'm getting old What you should've been told Sugar Island Baby When you're home, such a long day But I'll come back See you smile Age, days, for sure Be a little while Be a little while Sugar Island Baby Be a little while

We can live near the locust tree Cross the bridge, take in the greenery We can live near the gingkoes But that's not the place where an Advance girl can go Come on, put a whistle in my ear Let's loop around the Southern Tier Put some distance in our steps Will the sentries that guard New York ask us what we'll find out west? And you say… It's time I'm unbidden to your bricks and troubled nights My foes and oh my friends that gave such lovely light Saints of Waverly, I hope you'll understand Some boys get saved by music, some girls saved by the land Meet me up at SteepleTop Let's don't expect a bumper crop Inch by inch, row by row, O star to make this mountain garden grow Early in the evening when we'll walk the circled sands Know true that you're my woman, 'cause I'm sure I'm your man Saints of Waverly, I hope you'll understand Some boys get saved by music, some girls saved by the land
