Man with No Plan
I’m crawling through your tear ducts
Now I’m laying on your floor
I’ve lost my reputation
I think I left it near the door
Well I recognize what you see in me
And I know you’ve got a really good ear
So I’m sending you these echoes
They’ll be coming to you loud and clear
The drunks are in the chambers
Suckin' on the laws
It’s like a psychotropic nightmare
They’re trying to kill us all
Well I listened hard to what you said to me
And I think I know exactly where you stand
So let me gather up my papers
And fire up the van
Well I’m just a man
I’m just a man
I’m just a man with no plan
I’m chasing down your rainbows
Flagging down your stars
You’re my unicorn savior
At the Ballerina Bar
Well I can’t recall what I dreamt last night
But I know that it was all about you
And now that I’ve awakened
Please tell me what to do
Well I’m just a man
I’m just a man
I’m just a man with no plan
I’m writing down your secrets
Breathing in your rhymes
I’m stealing from your paintbrush
All the colors of your mind
I’m trying to find some kind of highway sign
Just to tell me which way to go
Maybe I am too late
Maybe I’m too slow
Well I’m just a man
I’m just a man
I’m just a man with no plan

Suburban Alien
He came from Omaha
Hopped on a train you know something broke his fall
Silence in the wind meant that he could begin again
He pulled out a radio
Turned on the news and switched to baseball
Spring is when you win
Fall is when you give in
'cause yesterday is all but gone
And I know that it won’t be long
And I’ll be back to sing you sweet
Suburban alien songs
They passed the bottle around
Scattered their ashes upon this sacred moving ground
Texas is all right
I don’t wanna fight no more
All these friends that I know
They’ve got other lives
Now they’re trying to lay low
Maybe wounds will mend
And we can all pretend to be
So happy that we somehow belong
And we can live with whatever is wrong
And keep on singing these sweet
Suburban alien songs
I’ve got to get back on that train
'cause the Platte River’s calling my name
I’ve got to get back to my old life
I’ve got a house and a sleeping wife
Who’s dreaming I’m singing these sweet
Suburban alien songs
He made it back to Omaha
Came in on the same train after great pause
Silence in the wind meant that he could begin again

Dead Hotel
Is this fiction? It’s hard to tell
If it’s me who’s checking into this Dead Hotel
I’m trying to move across these Great Plains
It’s true I’ve got a little bit of weird in my veins
There’s barely a soul out on these roads
Skeleton truckers and empty loads
Somewhere out there I hear a voice
It’s the end of the world it’s the DJ’s choice
I’m making a run in my car
Guess I’m never gonna be a star
Play me a song that’ll take me home
So I can lay with you before it all falls through
Jesus saves but now he mainly spends
Most of his time wondering
What the hell went wrong down below
Better call Buddha he might know
Highway billboards they’re all the same
He’s selling you a steak for some bloody fame
The pendulum moves look how it swings
We’ve got to get rid of this unfit king
I’m making a run in my car
Guess I’m never gonna be a star
Play me a song that’ll take me home
So I can lay with you before it all falls through
Now I’m rolling over these mountains tall
Driving past burned out strip malls
Nations come and nations go
But nothing can kill the radio
You know you can’t kill the radio
I’m making a run in my car
Guess I’m never gonna be a star
Play me a song that’ll take me home
So I can lay with you before it all falls through
Love and Lies
I see you blew your cover
You’ve got a tell tale heart that bleeds
You’re singing in a strange key
You’re really not so special
Turns out the truth gets in the way
I saw him on the street today
Oooo I have to ask you why
Why you dream in color and live in black and white
Oooo it’s time to change your mind
All the clouds are high above us
Rivers flow below
We’re only love and lies
And nobody knows
What to say
It’s gonna be ok
You could not see the trouble
Until it crawled into your head
It could’ve used the door instead
Now you are seeing double
Just try and guess which one is real
They’ve got you in the middle
Oooo it makes you want to cry
When the fish are jumpin’ and the bees are buzzin’ by
Oooo we should’ve been spies
All the clouds are high above us
Rivers flow below
We’re only love and lies
And nobody knows
What to say
It’s gonna be ok
Let’s write this song together
Cause never sometimes means the end
When your bones are gettin brittle
These times of deep confessions
Sessions that catch you like the wind
Blowin’ you home again
Oooo I have to ask you why
Why my dreams are pumpin’ and these sleeps are so divine
Oooo we’re runnin’ out of time
All the clouds are high above us
Rivers flow below
We’re only love and lies
And nobody knows
What to say
It’s gonna be ok
I Am Not There
This may be a lie or one way to try
To hide what I’m feeling or seek what is right
Each time I turn I can see in your eyes
That I am not there but you know I’m still by your side
If I could bend time you know what I’d do
I’d jump on a wave and ride it all the way to you
Just to lay in the tall grass your head on my heart
Forget all these troubles that keep on tearin’ us apart
Oh let them go and feel the winds begin to blow
Blow us all home
I feel like I’m all alone on this train
The stars they’re all tellin’ me that I’m just another name
Rollin’ through towns that no longer sing
Hear my song and watch me spread my wings
I think that I’m right when I know I should be wrong
To change this old world in the course of this song
All I’ve got is this melody
And a choir full of angels is backing up me
Oh let them know and feel the winds begin to blow
Blow us all home
There is no way for me to tell you I’m here
I know you can feel that I’m gettin’ real near
The place where we were the place where we’ll be
And all of these things can be cast into the sea
Oh let them go and feel the winds begin to blow
Blow us all home
