You are a cloud And, yes - I am a sheep You are a cloud And I am a sheep Today I am an olive tree You told me I smelled of olives I swear you still smell of the sea How to prevent from lying? I don't know What wind will come? Let it come what may What wind will come? Let it come what may I have no idea what I'm doing today The dogs were barking like I was possessed How to prevent from a violent death? I don't know How to prevent from our violent deaths? I don't know Why are you playing me said the guitar Instead of playing the mountain Why are you playing me said the guitar Instead of playing the mountain Which one am I? I am in some new confusion But we have stopped from lying We have prevented a violent death - so far The sun is green and shining The sun is green and shining I hope we Can be together Forever In the details

Thank you for your line and color Thank you for your little brother Money hungry Thank you for line and color Money hungry Money hungry He was never really waking LSD and dandruff flaking LSD and He was never really waking LSD and LSD and Always singing sadder mantras Always singing sadder mantras Sing electric Struggling to sing electric Sadder mantras Sadder mantras Looking out for number one I'm Looking out for number one I'm Looking out for Readying myself for battle Looking out for Looking out for I went down through our shirts and ties We found god with chain pulls and desire Coffee clouds and tablas round your neck Eight speakers spin and choke the house Standing in the doorway Kenny wants to tell me That he knows that Light is God With a thin layer of white cotton covering his mouth and eyes Choking on the mothballs at your feet Give me strength and rugburns I can't hide Coffee clouds and tablas round your neck Eight speakers spin and choke the house Standing in the doorway Kenny wants to tell me That he knows that Light is God With a thin layer of white cotton covering his mouth and eyes Standing in the doorway Kenny wants to tell me that he knows that light is god. Cover him in day-glo. He is disappearing right before my very eyes. Dancing on the A-train, man is keeling over. Lo! The strangled youth. Dancing at the dream house, trying not to see you. You asked, "What's a drone?" Cover him in day-glo. He is disappearing right before my very eyes.

He was clear for many years Doubts came - a purple cloud around his ears Dreams of you, his only love Walking in lupin, unafraid, ungloved Each step in the world is too much If you'd let me, I'd just leave (Fear of flight) Find a place to do nothing (Plane crash blues) But you can't do nothing (Fear of flight) But you can't do nothing This - the waterfall Ithaca, New York - a sandy haze Cloud of unknowing, will you carry me? Regardless of where I am? Regardless of who I am? In the city at night, you make love Tenderly (Fear of flight) You know this is the end (Plane crash blues) You know that it all ends (Fear of flight) You know this is the end (Plane crash blues) You know that it all ends I met a wild loneliness A pale young man running stooped Fell into my arms Burned into a black shard Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart Fell apart

Staircase 05:46
Did we die in agony with Jesus as our lord? Satan with his horned head dies laughing by the sword Did we die in ecstasy with Jesus by our side? Satan with his spreading wings was bankrupt when he died Falling down the staircase in the house that I grew up in Falling down the staircase in the house that we foreclosed on Did your mother spit and curse when you were delivered? Putting dollars in the booth money in the booth at the North Beach peep show Falling down the staircase in the house that I grew up in Put the money in the bag or I'll blow your fucking brains out Falling down the staircase in the house that I grew up in Soon enough the earth will swallow up the basement rec room Did we die in ecstasy with Jesus by our side? Satan with his spreading wings was bankrupt when he died Did we die in agony with Jesus as our lord? Satan with his horned head dies laughing by the sword Falling down the staircase in the house that I grew up in Dying in the living room inside the house I'll die in Biting off the filters of your cigarettes from Turkey Putting dollars in the booth at the North Beach peep show Falling down the staircase in the house that I grew up in Put the money in the bag or I'll blow your fucking brains out Falling down the staircase in the house that I grew up in Soon enough the earth will swallow up the basement rec room When we lived on Warren Street With fire in our blood Whiskey straight and Slayer tapes Horses slept in the living room When we lived on Franklin Ave With our hair growing long Arguments and fitful sleep Water poured out from the walls When we lived on Nostrand Ave With pinecones in our teeth Throwing dice on the roof Honeycomb tastes so sweet In the morning heat

City Mind 06:07
Separated by a plane flight We are accurate, makes it all right Dream of our home in the country You draw maps in the city You paint the colors all night I sit up and think at the table Trees I hope grow in the dark I sit up and think at the table I'm so far from finding my country Steak and chicken, starlight no gravy First rule of men and toads Do not over-extend yourself You paint the colors all night I sit up and think at the table Trees I hope grow in the dark I sit up and think at the table You said I was odd - how about it? It is spring. Come and see me. The taste of blood in my mouth. Erase my mistakes or I'll drown. Or I'll drown. Separated by a plane flight We are accurate, makes it all right Dream of our home in the country You draw maps in the city

about

One day in February, we went to Greenpoint and spent the day in the studio. All of the instrument tracks are taken live, together, with no overdubs. Vocals are generally whole takes, sometimes with Asa and Ben singing in the room together. This is our band at a moment.
