American Legion Hall

and they're swarming into the harbor with decorations of stars and stale flags rotting on the pole
as you wander through the cathedral halls with broken window panes and cheap looking picture frames
the medals on their caps with their cuts and their gowns
trip the alarm and the siren's on at the Legion Hall
and they're crowding into the parlor with recollections of posthumous ribbons and golden pins but they tied you into 4 long years for reasons you can't explain oh no you can't explain
the medals on their caps with their cuts and their gowns pictures that hang on the crooked walls of the Legion Hall
curses that were handed down paternal voices
now they're dancing on the tavern halls splattered across the walls all across the walls
with medals on your cap with your cuts and your gowns pulling the ranks from the haunted vaults of the Legion Hall

Counter Posturing

catching it on the evening post
the cabinet's had a fallout
has a spy of ours been compromised and left to dangle
angles from the inside
time to hold on
living on a swing
the lifeboats are sinking ships
captain's posturing
tapping along the copper string the alternate deals a fallout
has one of ours become covert consequence
angles from the inside
time to hold on
living on a swing
lifeboats are sinking ships
captain's posturing
loosen the grip on the indian burn
you should have glossed the uranium
has a spy of ours been compromised and left to dangle
angles from the inside
time to hold on
living on a swing
the lifeboats are sinking ships
captain's posturing

Media Lions

put up the tape close down the street
you came to town with a list of people you had to meet
they put out the sparkle in your eye
I'll bet that you didn't get to say all your goodbyes
mix it up for the mass
revving it up for the foreign trades
they'll toss you out to the media
captain lies on the radio
the cameras fly into position
decoding all the transmissions
feast your eyes on the intimate scene
there's clothes on the floor and the bathroom door is wide open
mix it up for the mass
revving it up for the foreign trades
they'll toss you out to the media
clearing the light from along the beam
giving a statement that it's not all as it seems
put up the tape close down the street
but we've got credentials and right there's the shot we need
they'll build you up and proclaim you're breathing new life in that stale old scene
then they'll toss you out to the media

Our Own Mistakes To Make
04:04

they can't see the blending that began
and wouldn't believe the trouble we get in
the not so subtle attraction and the multiple reactions
it gets so close right before it comes apart
thanks but we'll find our own mistakes to make
I've come to side up with you against all advice
I think we can find our own mistakes to make
I can't imagine ever losing you
but sometimes I'm already leaving you
the not so soothing reactions and the multiple distractions
it gets so tight right before it comes apart
and thanks but we'll find our own mistakes to make
I've come to side up with you against all advice
I think we can find our own mistakes to make
chase it in to you chase it in to you chase it in to you chase it in to you

Waiting Wolves

some will say keep that stuff deep inside of you
look in her eyes and then let it go
but who's the one that's been whispering? wrinkling all of your Sunday clothes
into the arms of the waiting wolves
I know this might not be what's best for me
walking away would be easier
but I can see them gathering and I don't think I can let you run
into the arms of the waiting wolves
into the arms of the waiting wolves
come with me when the sky underneath the trees when the sky is full of stars
through the fence down the trail and into the woods
we start into our rituals
dancing under the big white moon
I know then that I'm losing you
into the arms of the waiting wolves
some will say keep that stuff deep inside of you
look in her eyes and then let it go look in her eyes and then let it go
