Brothers on a Hotel Bed

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting
because I'm not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise
the youthful boy below,
Who turned your way and saw something he was not looking for:
both a beginning and and an end
But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident

On the back of a motor bike with your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed, we couldn't break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside.
And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn
for the sea like navy men
Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed

Little Fury Bugs

You'll discover that casual friends kept notes in their pockets to remember your name.
And all these places we went to see sights just gave them excuses to get into the game.
There's a look in the faces tonight that's untrustable as the hope that you'll never return in a while.
But you're always on time, so...
Sleeping soundly... the back of the car felt more like a home than i would ever have thought.
And through the evening the engine kept on until we hit chicago and decided to stop.
There's a look in the faces tonight that's untrustable as the hope that you'll never return in a while.
But you're always on time so...

Parents

When I was a little boy
they would say to me:
"Don't go in the world and play
it's bad company."
All they had was child and faith
Let him grow and let him wait,
Just to find what it was to be free
But now I'm over twenty one,
Growing up I've had my fun
And I know it's got to be
Baby lying in a womb
Are you free or in a tomb?
Let me in,
I feel I want to cry.
Oh, the road is there,
Oh, that road is there!
Come on back, back..
"Wash your hands and up to bed.
Mind your manners or you're dead.
Mind the cars cus you've got school on Monday."
Put my trust in God.
Who is he? I know not what.
Something mommy said to me one Sunday.
Maybe love is life but life is not
It's something I need plenty of.
Oh! I wish never lived a day.
Now there's no one near me now,
to tell me what to do and how
Take me back and sing my cares away!
Oh, the road is there
Oh, that road is there
Come on back, back!
"Wash your hands and up to bed.
Mind your manners or you're dead.
Mind the cars cus you've got school on Monday."
Black is black and white is white
Which to choose and which is right
.. guide me to a place where I can stay.
Wrap me up and keep me warm
Hide myself far from the storm
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.
Only now I realise how my parents had to try.
Love you all, and keep you all my life.
Oh, that road is there
Oh, the road is there!
Come on back, back...

the Seven Sisters

I want to see your goodness around me
but it's got the properties of water - transparent as glass
Your goodness is coiled like a fist,
holed up in the back of the attic
and crouched like a cat
You said i look like a stone sinking
but i am a constellation cut out in the sky
and if i have stopped burning,
would you know in your lifetime?
Is your goodness around me?
Has it got the properties of water?
Is it going fast?
Your goodness is coiled like a fist,
disguised in this incredible racket
and crouched like a cat
You said i looked just like a stone sinking,
but i am a constellation cut out in the sky
and if i have stopped burning,
will you know in your lifetime?
I am a constellation.
I'll guide you through the night.
And if i have stopped burning,
would you know in your lifetime?
And should i feel cold and far?
And should i feel weightless?
Do you ever hear what the stars are saying to you?
Is your goodness somewhere between the sinking and the orbiting?
[guitar solo]
And should i feel cold and far?
And should i feel weightless?
I imagine safety in the stars
because you make so many wishes.
Do you ever hear what the stars are saying to you? (to you)
I want to see your goodness around me. [3x]
