Airplane Man

Airplane man
Airplane man
You were born in the worst of God's despair
And you didn't know what you'd become
Airplane man
Searching man
Searching man
With all the knowledge you would ever need
You could change the world, rewrite it possibly
Searching man
Writing man
Writing man
You know us better than we knew ourselves
Or maybe you just opened our eyes
Writing man
Crying man
Crying man
Was the weight of the world getting too much?
Did you buckle from the strength of the blindness?
Crying man

Before the Bomb Drops
03:00
|
|||
If the world's gone crazy, I've lost my mind too
Through all the horror and death, all I think about is you
And I could get through the blast and the radiation as well
If I could taste your lips before we're all sent to hell
(Chorus)
I need to love you 'fore the bomb drops
Need to love you 'fore the end
Need to love you 'fore the bomb drops
Wanna hold your hand as you cry to me
About that great white light
Well, love you know it scares me
Time is running out
We're so close to the edge
There's nothing left to think about
And I hope when it drops, the mushroom's not too bright
I wanna keep my eyes open when I'm holding you tight
Chorus
And if you didn't love me
In 2008
Well, that would be just fine
But the DEFCON is rising
Babe we just don't have the time
Chorus

In the Meadow
01:39
|
|||
All the flowers are beautiful in the meadow
All the flowers are beautiful in the spring
All the flowers are beautiful in the meadow
And the spring
All the bodies are beautiful in the cemetery
All the bodies are beautiful in the fall
All the bodies are beautiful
In the fall
All the flowers are dying in the winter
All the flowers are dying now
All the flowers are beautiful
In the meadow

Happiness
01:23
|
|||
I'm giving up, this shit consumes me
I've given every thought and all my time
I hope you choke on the next thing you encounter
Then I hope you fucking die
(Chorus)
I gave everything for you and you treat me like the plague
Is there anything I can do right?
It made me sad it broke my heart
Now I hope you make him miserable as I was
He deserves it, you do too
In fact, you're quite deserving of each other
Chorus
And who do you think you are?
And who do you think I am?
And what do you think this is?
Chorus

Man of Constant Sorrow
03:23
|
|||
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to California
The place where I was born and raised
Through this open world I'm bound to ramble
Through ice and snow, sleet and rain
I'm bound to ride that morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
Your mother says that I'm a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there is one promise to you:
I'll see you on God's golden shore
I'm going back to California
The place where I started from
If I had known how bad you'd treat me
I swear I never would have come

July Sun
02:27
|
|||
I want to drown in an ocean of you
Get my feet more than wet to beat the heat
All wet, and it rolls off my skin
And you glimmer in the July sun
Surround me
Encase me
I miss the feel of that fire in you
That gripped me and kept me warm
These days, it burns my hands
And it's hot, like the July sun
Scorch me
Then sooth me
Your sweat
Your skin on mine
Your soft lips on my neck
Like the July sun

The Queen of Green Eyes
04:30
|
|||
The queen of green eyes
Peers over me
She watches me sleep
Her gaze is like ice
It melts on my skin
Absorbs to my brain
She's there when I close my eyes
She's there when I drift off to dreams
The queen of green eyes
She won't hold my hand
And she won't touch my lips
She wants to tell me
She loves me to death
But I don't think she will
I'm gone, I'm out of her head
He's there, he's filling her up
The queen of green eyes
Has burned up my soul
And broken my worth
She's moved me to cry
She's pushed me to smile
And I'd make her scream
I dream of joining with her
I dream of getting her done
The queen of green eyes
Is elusive

The Moon
02:42
|
|||
The moon's back in the sky again
I said the moon's in the sky again
And it pushes my fears
As the sun disappears from my life
I wish I had forgotten its face
But it glares down at me all night long
And it calls out my name
And it uses its fame to get me
And it slowly fills up my house
And it's sending me shivers both inside and out
But I can't escape
As the drape of its light fills my room
I'll be gone soon

Empty Gestures
03:41
|
|||
If I get this wrong again,
Will you pray for me again?
I know that it's an empty gesture
But when you've lost it all
And there's nowhere else to go
Well, God seems just okay to me
No, I don't believe exactly
But I know despair too well
Consider my conversion selfish and sad
She left me for a man
A chiseled jaw, a swimmer's body
And I don't think I can compete
Cause he holds her close and tight
Brings her safety through the night
And I'm scared and skittish about everything
But I hope she's happy now
But I know for sure she's not
And I think that's what gets me most of all
So I'll take God if he's all you've got
In the back room, left in stock
Though he'll make things worse 'fore he cleans things up
But if he were any good, he would have stopped it long ago
But I guess true lust is beyond his jurisdiction
But I need something anyway
Cause I have nothing left
So please, love me
If I get this wrong again,
Will you pray for me again?
I know that it's an empty gesture
