Who will settle down, Mister visionary Living his life as a French Missionary Fleeing with his dreams Can you hear the screams I want to be a 100,000 paragraphs to read I want to dye these pages with my acts courageous make them last forever bind and cover it in leather Land is far away I can see I can see I can see the coast line fade away Who will settle down, Mister visionary Living his life as a French Missionary Fleeing with his dreams Can you hear the screams I want to be a 100,000 paragraphs to read I want to dye these pages with my acts courageous make them last forever bind and cover it in leather Land is far away I can see I can see I can see the coast line fade away Until I get on land I will write with both hands The story of the places and all of the faces every wrinkle every dimple and that one hair that was out of place

Rain drops fool roses and buildings with ditches time and time again all the time Filled with 12 reasons all the time and raindrops mean flowers on the vines Why do you dig when do we die all the reference is yours and mine so when we fly away like a gull out at sea x2 as we fly away when we fly we float along we're singing we're singing fun loving songs all alone Women are witches with pointed brail noses takin' our money for their looks My man is so scary when he drinks overtime I'll wait till the moring stay alive at that time I'll walk to the corner shop then I run and you can't see that... Raindrops bring roses roses bring thorns you can be painful all the time Wait a minute I can't see what your writing on the page wait a minute I can't see further down the line ohhh Rains drops bring flowers my hands are shakey triming the roses off the vine I stand digging ditches to bury the roses pedal by pedal through the night Wait a minute I can't see what your writing on the page wait a minute I can't see further down the line when we fly we float along we’re singing, we’re singing such fun loving songs all alone

The Mirage, Boiling Water Many poets, and authors Three Ships Mound builders Left their beginnings so let's start digging Left their beginnings so let's start digging Left their beginnings so let's start digging and we start with the beginning As we are building (a life in this funny place, exterminate the moundbuilders) this is good living until we are giving (a treaty makes us move to MATCH-E-BE-NASH-E-WISH) Chicago threatened to open the land How it grew, so fast, so white Kicked out these people Left their beginnings so let's start digging Left their beginnings so let's start digging Start from the Beginning as we start building (a life in this funny place exterminate the tent builders) This is good living now that we have given (a treaty makes them move to MATCH-E-BE-NASH-E-WISH)

Sent from a far away place, like the Hauge Send it back now with ample postage to send it right back to 5517 Hear me shouting from a real high place, heeeeeeey! I can see for miles and miles all the buildings look so small look so far Away…. Like sitting on the Eagles Nest on top of the mouton Send it back now with ample postage to send it right back to 1917 Hear me shouting in my sleep we were just dreaming dreaming of demons dreaming of you

Your state is a village Your state is a village There's a stone in the center of our town That tells of people who are lost This is the River This is the River Just a stones throw away from this town Just a stones throw away from this town My new state is the Highway on overdrive (overdrive) overdrive Faster, faster, faster on the Interstate (interstate) interstate That once was a river Your state is a village Your state is a village There's a place I loved to go when I was young Now it's lots of people's homes This is the development This is the development Just a stones throw away from this town Just a stones throw away from this town Here's the places we loved to go when we were young There's the places we loved to go when we were young Here's the places we loved to go when we were young There's the places we loved to go when we were young Young and Dumb My new state is the Highway on overdrive (overdrive) overdrive Faster, faster, faster on the Interstate (interstate) interstate My new state is getting outta here (outta here) outta here As fast as we can On this river This is the Development

Take you time, Screaming Jenny Went running for some aid when the fire had laid its weary hands down on your dress Storage sheds along the tracks where we laid our heads in rest winter wind creeping in snuck through the cracks, fire starts to warm our cold tired feet we keep them close to the heat of the fire Take you time, Screaming Jenny Went running for some aid when the fire had laid its weary hands down on your dress She didn’t notice, her flaming clothes fire had burnt through heavy wool and then began to scorch the meaning of her soul Leaping in terror, threw soup from her cup into the flames, it did not douse Licking flames Flee the shack, along the tracks Screeming, looking at any one for help Screaming, as the flames begin to engulf her body flames begin to engulf her body Take you time, Screaming Jenny Went running for some aid when the fire had laid its weary hands down on your dress She didn’t notice, her flaming clothes fire had burnt through heavy wool and then began to scorch the meaning of her soul Stammering fast, stumbled onto the tracks the train headed round the bend it had only began to slow when it released her soul
