What's the matter with the shape I'm in?
With the places I've been
All along
I'm saying let the games begin
It's a game that no one wins
After all
I'm just happy to play a part
Everyone needs a fresh start
Along the way
Who says you can't stumble around?
And fumble through
Another day
What's it say when you feel no pain?
And you're floatin' along
A forgiving stream
It must have been a stupid dream
For things to seem
So lovely
What's the matter with the place I'm going?
The horn I'm blowin'
Is out of tune
It's hard to say what that feeling is
When you can't look away
Fear and wonder

Getting clouded on a sunny day
We pulled our heads out of the shadows
Peerin' through the widow sills
We can see the signs of Spring
Peerin' back at us over the hills
Tears are fallin' - and I'm fallin'
Fallin' from grace
Need something to filll the empty space
Now I'm runnin'
Runnin' out of time
Last thing I want is to be left behind
Being lazy on a winter day
Took the recycling to the sidewalk
My mind's on fire but my body tired
Tired to sleep but I'm too wired
Tears are fallin' - and I'm fallin'
Fallin' in love
Now I'm spinnin' - never winning
Spinning out of control
Now I'm runnin' from something
Runnin' out of time
I hope they use my organs
For scientific purposes

Over Land and Under Sea

I've been trying to find you
Over land and under sea
I've been shining a beacon
On the coast of the ocean
I've kept the lanterns burning
Hoping you will see
I sent out search parties
But the one who's lost is me
CHORUS:
Give me a signal
Pick up the line / Drop me a line
Send me a postcard
Give me a sign
Give me a signal
Shoot up a flare
I will find you
I'll see you there
I've been trying to reach you
In every way I know
Smoke signals, telegraph,
And yellin' through a cone
So if you find yourself
Trying to reach me
Just drop me a line
I'll be certain to reply
CHORUS
I've been trying to summon you
All the ways I know how
I believe we'll be in touch
If the universe allows
So I'm sleepin' light
Dreaming we'll unite
One of these days or nights
Over land and under sea
CHORUS

Nature and Shit

The wind is blowing through the trees
Knocking deadwood down into the scree
Decomposing leisurely
Slowly making it's way to the sea
Water takes any shape it needs
Washing through the trees and debris
Seeping through the undergrowth
As it slowly makes it's way to the river
Slow erosion shapes the scape
The melt will come and fill the lakes
Recreating the mountain side
It will take as long as it takes
