When I was Young / When I was Young / You were the Only One When I was Young / When I was Young / You were the Only One Drive Drive Drive Drive Keep low my Head / With a pocket full of Meds / I was the Lonely One But I wasn’t Dumb / I’m never Dumb / I told my Stories to a Girl And she said: Everything about it makes you come alive, John, I really love the part where you said you thought you’d died. I was in the corner, I was making my mind up. I never want to see you when you get that high. I never want to see you when you get that high. Blood on my Feet / Been walking for Weeks / I am the Favorite Son Eyes nice and Bright / We’re feeling alright / We are the Fortunate Ones And she said: Everything about it makes you come alive, John, I really love the part where you said you thought you’d died. I was in the corner, I was making my mind up. I never want to see you when you get that high. I never want to see you when you get that high. When I was Young / When I was Young / You were the Only One When I was Young / When I was Young / You were the Only One When I was Young / When I was Young / You were the Only One I wasn’t Dumb / I’m never Dumb / You are the Only One

Evelyn 02:31
So, then I was born On the corner Fire hydrants And homeless doctors Came up with Sam Outside Houston We made love In her father’s basement I call you name: Evelyn. Over and over again. Museum receptions Always tell ‘em How you found me On the Navajo reservation I was strung out Lying facedown Thought you were a wolf Who come out to nurse me I call you name: Evelyn. Over and over again. I call you name: Evelyn. Over and over again. Snow on your face Like cheap grace Let me make You a bet I’ll be gone In a month Over and over again. Evelyn. Over and over again.

Like a Curse 03:47
Oh, we get up most days now You can find us at the crack of noon I try to keep it light, windows bright Oh, no, she don’t make it easy I get so damned depressed, oh, She made me take her to the psychic’s house She tries to say goodbye, there’s no reply Oh, no, you don’t make it easy You hover around her body like a curse And you reached down at her ankle from out of the hearse And she ask you when you coming home when you coming home when you coming home out of the earth. I try to understand it Soooo, I took her to the Ivy League They told me, “Sorry, son, but you know that you can’t take her in here.” Oh, I’ve been trying so hard now. Don’t you know you take me to my knees She told me, “Sorry, son, but you know that you can’t do that in here.” You hover around her body like a curse And you reached down at her ankle from out of the hearse And she ask you when you coming home when you coming home when you coming home out of the earth. You hover around her body like a curse And you reached down at her ankle from out of the hearse And she ask you when you coming home when you coming home when you coming home out of the earth. Out of the earth. Out of the earth.

Once, I was a mainsail Filled up with a strong gale Arms and legs all akimbo And you were the only thing that I would tie myself to. She came out of her halfshell A Botticellian nightmare Her toes, an archipelago Spread out across the sea separating you from me. Oh oh oh Our bodies grow Oh oh oh Our spirits slow Oh oh oh All parents know it’s true The waves, well, they make her wakefull The wind, well, it makes her rageful She crooooowwwws that I am not able And she is the only thing of which I’m ever afraid Oh oh oh Our bodies grow Oh oh oh Our spirits slow Oh oh oh All parents know it’s true Yes, they Do! Think I need some time to atone Sail the open sea without home The mist and the foam A life overthrown She says that we all die alone and she don’t see what the fuss is ONCE, I WAS A MAINSAIL ONCE, I WAS A MAINSAIL ONCE, I WAS A MAINSAIL

I have heard they’re killing old people by the shore. It can’t be true. But to be sure, Grandma, I’ll take you, and bring you to my home. I won’t be sleeping on the sofa when the call comes through. When you need me there I’m gonna know just what to you. You can feel it in the water, you taste it in the water more and more And I was swimming in the ocean while a time bomb ticking Tore the covers off the city and the coast started slipping I felt it in my fingers, I feel it now that all of this will end. I have heard they’re killing old people by the shore. It can’t be true. But to be sure, Grandma, I’ll take you, and bring you to my home.

Even if our bodies are broken (oh oh oh) And even if our parents are just tokens (oh oh oh) Don’t act like you don’t hear the explosions (oh oh oh) Baby, drive me back to New Canaan (oh oh oh) Bye bye bye bye I thought that they all owed us a reason (oh oh oh) I know now that we’re not owed a reason (oh oh oh) I don’t think we can live off emotion (oh oh oh) I wish that we could change with the seasons (oh oh oh) Bye bye bye bye I don’t think he ever knew Last night I had a dream. Think I was thinking about you. Everynight I have this dream. Think I’m thinking about you. Bye bye bye bye I don’t think he ever knew

Ocean 03:23
Recall: That all through that year, we drank lukewarm beer. I didn’t like it but it worked My red face would smirk. Our bodies would jerk. I turned our rhythm into code. My songs were all odes in Phrygian mode. And how did you reciprocate. At first you’d be late. Then you’d dissipate. And I was left with lukewarm beer. They say that you were my first addiction. I helped you break into the natatorium. I can remember the smell of chlorine. And how I never felt so good and clean. Oh, oh oh oh oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (I did it, everything you asked for. I did it, everything you asked for) I never saw you look so good. Your hair was like money. And Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh (I did it, everything you asked for. I did it, everything you asked for) I never thought I’d write these word. Not for all the money in the world. I know I know I know I know I know. When you’re young. It’s so hard. Recall: The turns that I took to find the big book and all the coffee that I’ve drunk. The deepest of funks. Low, mean and sunk. My only rhythm is my cough. They say that you were my first addiction. I helped you break into the natatorium. I can remember the smell of chlorine. And how I never felt so good and clean. Oh, oh oh oh oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (I did it, everything you asked for. I did it, everything you asked for) I never saw you look so good. Your hair was like money. And Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh (I did it, everything you asked for. I did it, everything you asked for) I never thought I’d write these word. Not for all the money in the world. I know I know I know I know I know. When you’re young. It’s so hard. Recall: That all through that year, we drank lukewarm beer. I didn’t like it but it worked My red face would smirk. Our bodies would jerk. I turned our rhythm into code.
