1492
1492
I’m a Russian Jew American
Impersonating African Jamaican
What I wanna be’s an Indian
I’m gonna be a cowboy in the end I guess
I guess I bought a gun cuz it impresses
All the little girls I see
And then they all wanna sleep with me
Oh, where do we disappear?
Into the silence that surrounds us
and then drowns us in the end
Where all these people who impersonate our friends
Say, “Come again, come again, come again…”
Into the dark Italian underground of disco lights and disco sound
And skinny girls who drink champagne
And take me on their knees again
Then pull me up and out the door
Past railway cars and tranny whores
And morning spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels
Oh, where do we disappear?
Into the silence that surrounds us
and then drowns us in the end
Where they try to push you out to keep you in
And say, “Come again, come again, come again…”
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In 1493, came home across the deep blue sea
In 1494, he did it with the girl next door
In 1495, he barely made it out alive
In 1964, these sailors left me at the door
In 1970, some people got their hands on me
Now I’m the king of everything
And I’m the king of nothing
Now I’m the king of everything
I am the king of nothing
Oh, where do we disappear?
Into the silence that surrounds us
And then drowns us in the end
Where all these people who impersonate our friends
Say, “Come again, come again. come again…”
Oh, where do we disappear?
Into the silence that surrounds us
And then drowns us in the end
Where they try to get you out to get you in
And all these people who impersonate our friends
Say, “Come again, come again, come again…”

Come Around
Come Around
Have you seen the little pieces of the people we have been?
Little pieces blowing gently on the wind
They have flown down California
They have landed in L.A.
Little pieces slowly settling on the waves
I’m one of a million pieces fallen on the ground
It’s one of the reasons when we say goodbye
We’ll still come around yeah we will come around
I have waited for tomorrow from December till today
And I have started loving sorrow along the way
And I am calling from some city
And I won’t be there too long
But I could wait and I could waste away
But what comes back is I hear you say were gone
When all of the times that I go spinning up and down
When all of the things have died between us
Well, we’ll still come around yeah We will come around
After I’ve been missing for a while
And you hear that summer song
Haven’t all the fading lines lingered on?
What I know is she’s going
And you know it, it’s alright
So you put yourself between you and your pride
If you wait for what’s coming
And you listen to her lies,
Then she’ll say the things you need to hear
And the only one who’ll disappear is you
And one of the million lies she said
Is all of the things you love are dead
But I’ve seen what she thinks is love
And it leaves me laughing so we’ll still come around
Yeah we will come around
When you’re gone
we will, we will, we will
we will come around
When you’re gone we’ll still come around
When you’re gone we will come around

On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago
On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago
A picture of Amsterdam
Bare trees under glass
Framed in the afternoon light
Of a winter long past
When I was a raiser
To Dublin I’d roam
She was a bareback rider
Some miles from home
Come back to me
She’s a carnival driver
Hung in the sky
Cutting through time like a memory
Strung on a wire
The color of anything
Fades in the air
But she is the film of a book of the story
Of the smell of her hair
Come back to me
When every thing’s over
And every thing’s clear
When everyone’s older
And no one is here
I try to remember
A girl on a wire
Tumbling and diving above Stephen’s Green
Like a kite on the air
Come back to me

Le Ballet D’or
Le Ballet D’or
Wasted time running scared
When all a love needs is to be believed in
All those Springs come and gone
Past like trains and boxcars leaving
But I would be lying
If I didn’t tell you the truth
They will leave you
They will leave you
So come now
Let’s go dance to siren’s song
Come now
Leave your damage behind and gone
Some are lost to you
Wasted time running scared
All that I need is to believe in something like a Summer
And I know you need somebody just like I do
And all these foxes go down in their barrows to hide
They will leave you
They will leave you behind
So come now
Let’s go dance to the siren’s song
Come now
Leave your damage behind and gone
Just come now
Let’s go to the dance floor
Come now
Lose your mind at Le Ballet d’Or
Some are lost
Some are leaving
Some are lost
Some are leaving
But I’m not going at all
I’m not going anywhere at all
Some are lost to you
We’ve wasted time running scared
Now Autumn’s fire is ashes on the breeze
And it spins away like dust on pearls
As winter comes to usher in the evening
But all of these drummers go stand
on their hillsides alone
They will leave you
They will leave you alone
So come now
Let’s go dance to siren’s song
Come now
Leave your damage behind and gone
So come now
Let’s go down to the dance floor
Come now
Lose your mind at Le Ballet d’Or
Just come now
Let’s get out while the getting’s good
Come now
There’s no one left in the neighborhood

You Can’t Count On Me
You Can’t Count On Me
Anything’s hard to change
But hey I got you down on your knees again
You watch the sky
It’s a pale parade of passing clouds
That cover the bed upon which we laid in the dark
And the memories that I made of a laughing girl
But you’re just my toy and I can’t stop playing with you baby
If you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There’s just one thing you need to know
And that’s that you can’t count on me
I’m coming along real good
But I still can’t do most of the things I should
I watch the sky coming down to bury me…
And I can’t stop this crawling out of my skin
I know that you see yourself flying in out of the sky
Coming down to carry me but I won’t come out
So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There’s one thing you need to know
And that’s that you can’t count on me
I watch all of the same parades
As they pass on the days that you wish you’d stayed
But all this pain gets me high
And I get off and you know why
So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There’s just one thing you’ll need to know
And that’s that you can’t count on me
You Can’t Count On Me
Anything’s hard to change
But hey I got you down on your knees again

Anyone But You
Anyone But You
I’m always thinking
Of someone new
I’m never sitting
Ok with you
There’s always something else on my mind
There’s always something I can’t find
You think about anything you can
I think about you
I’ll think about anything it’s true
I’m almost perfect
Some of the time
I’m also sinking
Some of the time
I’m almost ready
Yeah, it’s almost true
For almost anyone but you
You think about anything you can
I think about you
I’ll think about everything it’s true
I’m always sinking
Beneath the sand
You’re holding nothing in your hand
You think about anything you can
I think about you
But I’ll think about anything it’s true
Anyone But You

When I Dream Of Michelangelo
When I Dream Of Michelangelo
Well you know I don’t like you but you wanna be my friend
Well, there are bodies on the ceiling and they’re fluttering their wings
It’s ok I’m angry
But you’ll never understand
When you dream of Michelangelo
They hang above your hands
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again
And I can’t why you’d want to talk to me
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
I want a white bread life
Just something ignorant and plain,
But from the walls of Michelangelo I’m dangling again
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again
Saturn on a line
A sun afire on strings and wires
To spin above my head and make it right
But any time you like
You can catch a sight of angel eyes all emptiness and infinite
And I dream of Michelangelo when I’m lying in my bed
I see god upon the ceiling I see angels overhead
And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again

On Almost Any Sunday Morning
On Almost Any Sunday Morning
Take a message to your head
Just stay beside her in the bed
You were so stupid
To believe in things you couldn’t see
Then make them all you want
If you haven’t got the reasons
Just make up any reasons
Then pick them ’til they’re torn
Take it all away
You took your coat today
But they all go back in the morning
Make a time to find your way
I got a little further today
Wash your eyes clear of anything
Make them empty circles
Dress yourself in black of gray
I’m hungry like a wild waif or only child
This lithium is heroin to me
It makes it all withdraw
All the anger and loss
But it all keeps coming back in the morning
You keep yourself too clean
You dig yourself a dream
That we won’t be coming home alone
Not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Not this time

Washington Square
Washington Square
I sold my piano
It couldn’t come with me
I locked up my bedroom
and I walked out into the air
When nothing I needed
is left there behind me
I walk out through the shadows
Of Washington Square
I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley
and I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine
I love like a fountain
and it left me with nothing
just the memories of walking through Washington Square
Now I live in the shadows
where light is electric
and time is a number
that rests on a wall
And nobody knows me
my friends and my family
are as far from this city
as Washington Square
So cover this warm night
in a blanket of starlight
Then I’ll follow this freeway
out into the air
In case you should wonder
and wanted to find me
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
Washington Square
Washington Square
