Welcome to the end
Of the International Believer's Trust
Today on the agenda
We have several bullet points to discuss
And everyone here's registered to
Get through the apocalypse alive
So if we just get it over with
We'll all be outta here by five
Early in the morning
Before the last sunrise
And up until the current
Crisis of faith turned the zeitgeist on its side
We've managed to keep the price
Of salvation locked at an all-time high
We've covered a lot of ground since those
Early days of revolution
Now everyone sitting around the table
Let me thank you for your generous contribution
Early in the morning
Before a blood-red sun
Don't the moon behind the clouds
Look like the guts of a thumbed-out mosquito?
Don't the crickets chirping loud
Sound like the white noise of our restless libido?
The Anti-Christ is growing old
Waiting for us to give him the go-ahead
Could somebody please wipe up his drool and just
Administer the man his meds
Early in the morning
Before the sunrise red?
Early in the morning
Early in the morning
Early in the morning
Early in the morning
Early in the morning

And now I’m waking up
And now I’m getting dressed
And now I’m eating food
And now taking meds
And now I’m looking for car keys
And I’m still looking for those keys
And now I’m driving on a highway
And now I’m listening to a song
And now I’m waving to a person
And now I am driving home
And now I’m pulling up
And now I’m eating food
And now I’m getting changed
And now I’m in the mood
And now I’m looking for a cell phone
And I’m still looking for that key
And now I’m sleeping on a sofa
And now I’m slipping into dreams
And now I’m dreaming of a highway
And now I’m drifting in between
And now I’m visiting all the places in my life
And now I’m shaking hands with all the people I have known
And now I’m telling them that I am going
And now I'm going
And now I’m gone
And now I’m waking up
And now I’m dreaming of a highway
And now I’m waking up
And now I’m dreaming of a highway
And now I’m waking up
And now I’m driving on a highway
And now I’m waking up
And now I’m dreaming of a highway
And now I'm...

I Can't Complain
03:00
|

My hometown died
Still I'm up with the sun
Early in the morning is when I get my thinking done
I've got a wood stove
I've got a well
I've got a thirteen year old soup can on the shelf
And I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
This cracked up pavement
Use to be route nine
These crumbling bricks use to house a good friend of mine
We had a market
We had a square
We had a town hall with a lot of nice people working there
And I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
My hometown died
Still I'm up with the sun
Early in the morning is when I get my thinking done
Burned all the oil
Bugs ate the corn
Bled on the soil and put mercury in the storm
And I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain

Smile and Nod
03:02
|

It's been a while
Tap that dial
Nod and smile
It'll be ok
The lights seem odd
Might be God
Smile and nod
And slowly back away
I'm going home now
Plug myself in
So I won't be angry in the morning
Electronic tether
Makes me feel better
Make me feel better
Come and go
A dashboard glow
A TV show
Came and went
Nod to the right
Don't smile too tight
Little red light
Down to one percent
I'm going home now
Plug myself in
So I won't be angry in the morning
Electronic tether
Make me feel better
Makes me feel better
I'm going home now
Plug myself in
So I won't be angry in the morning
Electronic tether
Make me feel better
Makes me feel better
Makes me feel better
I'm going home now
I'm going home now
Makes me feel better
Make me feel better

Air Guitar
03:41
|

I confess
I've stood
At the mirror before
Quite impressed
Looking good
Playing air guitar
A fantasy
Easy to understand
Where I don't need no bank loan
Don't need no business plan
I confess
I've stood
At the mirror before
Quite impressed
Looking good
Mr. Video Star
I believe
I can hit a hundred thousand views
Don't need no necktie
Don't need no shine on my shoes
I quit my day job
I snubbed my friends
I hit rock bottom
I start again
I confess
I've stood
At the mirror before
Quite impressed
Looking good
In love with
My diamond jaw
A sight to see
An icon I presume
True inspiration
To all eyes in the room
I quit my day job
I snubbed my friends
I hit rock bottom
I start again
I quit my day job
I snubbed my friends
I hit rock bottom
I start again
I quit my day job
I snubbed my friends
I hit rock bottom
I start again
I start again
I quit my day job
I snubbed my friends
I hit rock bottom
I start again
I start again

My Square
02:22
|

I’ve been trying to find
A hole for my square
Got a job in a mine
Couldn’t fit it in there
...were too many sides
And not enough air
Now I breathe through a hose
And I’m losing my hair
I’ve been trying to find
A hole for my square
Didn’t know you were blind
Did you know I was there?
...were too many eyes
And not enough chairs
Now I breathe through a hose
And I’m losing my hair
I’ve been trying to find
A hole for my square
I drink Italian wine
I drink Australian beer
With too much ice
And not enough air
And I breath through a hose
And I’m losing my hair

Done With Words
03:35

This feeling rides a minor key
Unlock me
A hole above, wind at the lips
And hearts trip
The tongue, the teeth made many shapes
But vibrations strange were all I heard
The passage hums and the walls they shake
I'm done with, done with words
Sometimes I hear about things unsaid
They just come into my head
The sound of strings down corridor
Pulls a light through the crack in the floor
“Beyond the final door is all you know”
Is a thought I got from a little bird
So I’ll sing a tune and make it up as I go
I'm done with, done with words
This feeling rides a minor key
Unlock me
A hole above, wind at the lips
And hearts trip
Sometimes I hear about things unsaid
They just come into my head
The sound of strings down corridor
Pulls a light through the crack in the floor
This feeling rides a minor key
Unlock me
A hole above, wind at the lips
And hearts trip
Sometimes I hear about things unsaid
They just come into my head
The sound of strings down corridor
Pulls a light through the crack in the floor

Down Here on Earth
05:40
|
|||
You can pray
And you can meditate
You've got your whole entire life to wait
For what you're waiting for
Call it light
Call it love, call it hate
I bet you'll find it through the door
Whatever you're waiting for
Still it hurts
And you still have to clean the dirt
Still it might get better
Still it might get worse
Down here on earth
Where we're still working out the curse
And it might get better
And it might get worse
You can try
To build an endless bridge
Make an endless pilgrimage
Hearts are never full
Call your life
A holy syllable
A mystic interval
Hearts are never full
Still it hurts
And you still have to clean the dirt
Still it might get better
Still it might get worse
Down here on earth
Where we're still working out the curse
And it might get better
And it might get worse
There's a knocking on your wall
Coming through
Either a stranger or a friend
Same as you
Still it hurts
And you still have to clean the dirt
Still it might get better
And it might get worse
Down here on earth
Where we're still working out the curse
And it might get better
And it might get worse
There's a knocking on your wall
Coming through
Either a stranger or a friend
Same as you
