My Hovercraft is Full of Eels

What Now? 03:55
What do we do now that the hero has left? What more is there to say? All these words just waste my breath, They all sound wrong anyway. Where do we go now that heaven is gone? What else is there to see? Other places seem so wrong, None of them look right to me. What will we say, where will we go, What will we see? What do we think, think we can do What can we be? What happens when you hit eternity’s end? What more is there to know? All the time searching we spent And I just want to go home. All the time searching we spent All the words that waste my breath All the plans that fill our heads And we do it all again What have we become now that the enemy’s dead? What else is there to be? With no plans to fill our heads, What do you do when you’re free?

When I wake up alone and decide that it’s time for a change When the familiar turns out to be strange Just when I decide to try something new Then I fall into pieces of you When neither obstacles nor opportunities raise their heads When both friends and foes have all fled At that point I’m certain I know what to do But I fall into pieces of you When the house and yard all lay in ruin And it’s unclear what I’m being or doing I step back to see it all from another point of view When I fall into pieces of you When uncertain the life I’m living is mine When uncomfortable starts to feel fine I pull up the courage to insist that it’s through And I fall into pieces of you When the voices I hear are speaking in tongues After pleading my case the jury comes back hung Everything I said I believed to be true Yet I fall into pieces of you

Used To 04:15
I used to feel breakfast was too early But I got used to it I used to feel a week was too long But I got used to it I used to feel my shoes were too heavy But I got used to them I used to think the sky was so big But I got used to it. I used to think the moon was so bright But I got used to it I used to think the air smelled so good But I got used to it But I never thought I’d get used to you I used to find your eyes so enticing But now I’m used to you I used to find your smile so alluring But now I’m used to you I used to find your laugh so enthralling But now I’m used to you But I never thought You’d get used to me, too.

If Only 04:40
I wish I was sick So people would be nice to me And bring me gifts And be my friend So I'd heal I’d grow strong again I’d cook for you And keep you well = I wish I were trapped So somebody would rescue me And take me home And be my friend So I could feel free Not be afraid again To protect you And keep you safe = I wish I was hurt So some one would take care of me And stay by my side And be my friend And I would mend Become whole again To look after you And keep you from harm = I wish I was sad So somebody would comfort me And tell me jokes And be my friend So I’d cheer up No need to cry again I’d laugh with you And make you smile = If you’d be my friend I could be there for you

I can taste you in my breakfast the extra sweetener serves to remind me that you can't ever Leave me, leave me, always grieve me Promise me you'll stay here, stay here in the air Around me I can smell you in my car the burning oil which fills the air and assures me that you won't ever Leave me, leave me, don't deceive me Promise me you'll stay here, stay here in the air Around me, around me I can feel you in my shoe the stone which rubs my ankle raw just proves to me that you won't ever Leave me, leave me, please believe me From this day on my breakfast won't ever Be the same

Well, I'm rollin' and tumblin', cried the whole night long Well, I'm rollin' and tumblin', cried the whole night long When I woke up this mornin', everything I had was gone If the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck If the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck I'd dive to the bottom, and I'd never come up Well, I could a had a religion on any Sunday Well, I could a had a religion on any Sunday But whiskey and women wouldn't let me have my way

I Am 04:09
When your bills are late I am When your plane's delayed I am When your keys are misplaced I am When the number's been erased I am When the ocean hits the shore I am When the mountains kiss the clouds I am When the sun meets the horizon I am When the sky touches the stars I am When breath fills your lungs I am When speech has left your tongue I am When your cup overflows I am When joy fills your soul I am

The rain couldn't wash away my sins and neither could the sun They'll follow me throughout the day to be seen by everyone And remain to fill my heart when all else is gone And so I'll wear them until the earth ends The wind couldn't dry up my tears and neither could the night Like a crown upon my head I show them in plain sight So people can admire them until the final light And so I'll wear them until the earth ends The fog couldn't hide my pain and neither could the dawn All who cross my path can recognize it's familiar song It advises me on my way until my card is drawn And so I'll wear it until the earth ends The snow couldn't erase my fears and neither could the sky They'll always be on display to every passerby They'll stay here to comfort me long past the day I die And so I'll wear them until the earth ends

Fading Away 06:06
I once was like you Waiting on a moment Vision stretching so far In a life out of focus Waiting patiently for the sunrise Hoping the darkness would be Fading away We once shared a dream Shoved in our back pocket Running through the fields Feet so cut and swollen We could never reach the horizon Worried that the sunset would bring Fading away The fields that we’ve sown The truths that we’ve known The friends that we’ve let down All of the bushes we beat around Fading away The obstacles we create The internal debate The past that we try to hide As well as the future we left behind We couldn’t see between the stars Knowing the moonlight would mean Fading away All the lies we told The sand we tried to hold The world that we pushed against And also our greatest defense Fading away The battles we rush toward The memories we horde The enemies we cling to Even these words that I sing to you Even the darkness and silence Are fading away
