I felt fine.
Have you felt fine?

Have you ever felt fine?
Have you ever felt anything but hunger at all?

The Driver's Will

I'm a spoke, turning on the wheel
I just go with the driver's will
Do my job, that old routine
Who needs to stand when you got a place to lean?
I'm a spoke, turning on the wheel
I just go with the driver's will

Nothing At All
01:19
|

|
I'd like to think about nothing at all.
Sit back and think about nothing at all.
So why can't I think about nothing at all?
Who's got time to waste?
The river don't think about nothing at all.
A mountain it thinks about nothing at all.
The sunrise don't think about nothing at all.
Who's got time to waste?

Who's That Yelling?

Who's that yelling?
What's wrong the man?
New port bells ring, sounding off to plan
Aged fat jelly, painted with a tan
What's that smelling up the garbage can?
Human shelling
Bomb me with demands
Who's that yelling?
What's up the man?
Sycophant he says this is the plan
Eating jelly, painted verbal tan
Something smells, he left it in the pan
Who's that yelling?
What's up the man?
New port bells ring, sounding off to plan
Aged fat jelly, painted with a tan
What's that smelling up the garbage can?
Human shelling
Bomb me with demands
Who's that yelling?
What's up the man?
Sycophant he says this is the plan
Eating jelly, painted verbal tan
Something smells, he left it in the pan
Who's that yelling?
What's wrong with the man?
Who's that yelling?
What's wrong with him?

Words

"Shapes" is a hopeful word, unless they're out there moving in the dark in a wave with intent unknown. Makes you shiver in the tone when you're swimming all alone.
The words that you say can mean so many things in the heart of the one you're speaking to.
"Breaks" has a damning sound you can hear the noise it makes; see it crashing to the ground in a wave. But there's another side too - when the fever ends that put the fear in you.
The words that you say can mean so many things in the heart of the one you're speaking to.

Ghost Radio

I was tuning in to Ghost Radio out on the moonlit wind, with Arpeggio.
In the pregnant pause of the minor 10th, I was listening close. Leaning into it.
In the driver's seat for a midnight mile, I wondered what it was that halfway made you smile.
Keep my eyes on the road. It's what I know. After all it's just Ghost Radio.
Eagle on my wall. Falcon on my chest. I made it known for you. You'll always be the best.
Feather's from the moon make it down by day. I catch them each by one, and then we'll set the day.
I'm a Desert, I know. It's not like I mean to. I just start stretching out. I end up lonely too.
What else could we try?
Where else could we go?
I'm tuning up the dial to Ghost Radio.
I start remembering.
I never really know who I'm gonna hear on Ghost Radio.
I close my eyes tonight. It's all I've ever known.
Ringing in my ear is Arpeggio.
In the driver's seat for a midnight mile, I wondered what it was that halfway made you smile.
I keep my eyes on the road. It's all in what I know. After all it's just Ghost Radio.
