Let me out Don't tell me everything Start it out Like any other day Must have gave the wrong impression Don't you understand where I belong? I'm not the one Stand again They say nothing comes for free And that's the truth I've been living in a fantasy Slip and slide ahead trip heaven Self-denial is such a wonderful and powerful thing But I'm not the one The morning dove sings with two broken wings Carry me home, I'm not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights Carry me home, don't let me fade away Stop the press the kids light is growing dim It took a month long slide, then the world came caving in When you self-destruct you wind up looking for a glimmer of hope But the writing's on the wall I'm not the one The morning dove sings with two broken wings Carry me home, I'm not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights Carry me home, don't let me fade (away) Just how thick is your skin? Just how sharp are your teeth? Oh, you've got a lot to learn Is there somewhere else that I can win Is there something else to start over again From the summit's edge to the cutting room floor I will be afraid no more The morning dove sings with two broken wings Carry me home, I'm not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights Carry me home, don't let me fade Carry me home, carry me

Celluloid soldiers, come in from the rain Murder my smile, but please leave me my pain All those good people, they don't even try Stealing the truth while they pay for your lie I'm about to lose the things I never saw before You wanted me to know the ups and downs Away we go to get another hit, the it The blood that she's about to spit You go your way and I guess I'll go mine We'll both arrive at the very same time Please give me your tired, give me your poor Please lift up your lamp, walk through this door Kick down the doors that you don't understand Please don't lose sight of this generous plan Blinded by prisms, we wind up in court I'm folding chairs while you sold yourself short She's about to redefine the way Reminded me to say the other way was right She's in a place to pray for me And now she got to flash the funky light You've got your way and it seems I've got mine Both gonna die at the very same time Marry me, mama That's someone to carry me home Stick with me, girlfriend I don't want to be here alone Marry me, mama That's someone to carry me home Stick with me, girlfriend I don't want to be here alone

Just feel them multiply* Like hungry flies in the sweet summer night In the woods they were waiting, in a word they arrived One doubt from your red mouth, and armies align And once you say it you can't take it back It was a beautiful home we had, built with our own two hands, And the amber years we got left, gone in a single breath They put their eyes to their rifles There was a quick fist of light And we were bricks in a pile Cause once you say it you can't take it back Oh once you say it you can't take it back Feel them multiply Like a hundred eyes aiming at the words in your breath And then the flies break the flesh and go into your chest

Lend me your walking stick And I lean on it And I walk on out through the snow bound yard Past the neighbours on the lawn Drinking last year out I leave this town, cut the year off clear Cauterized by leaving Sick and tired of living last year Roll out the tarmac and baptize the air craft Escaping loss and push me off The cold can bleach us out And freeze our doubt And all that you knew becomes muffled and mute But I'm done with it All this standing stiff When I move my mouth only snow comes out Euthanized by whiteness But I'll arise despite this last year So roll out the tarmac and baptize the aircraft Escaping loss and push me off Should old acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind Should acquaintance be forgot And auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne X2

You'll be a bright light coming out of the dark All the doctors blinking hard You'll be lightning coming out of the storm It's a message, it's a miracle You'll do all right You've got your mother's eyes You've got your daddy's head Everything you need For this hard ride They'll be strapping you on All the ups and downs and you can't get off Yes, trouble we're handing off And you've got to do better than us It'll be all right You've got lots of time Got your daddy's love Everything you want I can feel you and what you're gonna be You'll be stronger, you'll be smarter than me Oh baby, I'll say it again You're the most incredible thing Sorry, this is it It's cold and hard and badly lit And there's no backing out of it So forget where you've been It'll never be that good again And we must only look ahead Soon you're 33 And everything you tried to be Is pulled apart by fear and greed Let young hands build you up And carve your face in honest rock With sunlight on your noble jaw May young hands build you up I'm happy that you've come along I'm happy that you've come, I'm happy that you've come Oh baby, I'll say it again I'll say it again, I'll say it You're the most incredible thing

All this hunger and such uncomfortable thirst Son be suffering its the song of your birth Sonny's singing now gets me thinking how Everybody's dream is True Everybody leaving While their mom is setting guilt trips See all the young hearts leaping (Singing I I I I don't wanna go back to that) Singing I I I I don't wanna go back... All this hunger is always following us Out where we survive Under poisonous skies And dreaming But nobody's sleeping Two cold hearts speeding See all the gold teeth gleaming See all the young healthy free men Just move into nothing. Put my body on A wagon And carry me off to the ocean Let me float on To the eastern sun Out where tomorrow has just begun Well I used to be wild Back in my time Now i just fight to sleep at night Surrender me up to the animals Let in me in the light that I can trust Let me in the light that I can trust Let me in the light that I come from
