Come on down, let the words come washing over
Come on down, speak like easy breeze
All fall down, we�ll all fall down together
All fall down, so why fill pockets up with posies
Come on down, dance in rings around the rings around the
Come on down, all fall down together
All fall down

I�m not chasing butterflies I�m working on my wings
I�ll paint them in the colors that I hope I�ll want to see
Fingers on the wings just to see the way they soar
All I learn is after they�re not soaring anymore

Chasing down the angels to learn the way to dance
Saw them spinning on a pin and knew I knew at last
Laid it on the table said "now that's the way to move."
They told me thanks and shook my hand and swore they never knew

Sun climbs high and sight comes down
And swarming now upon the ground
We turn our crooked lines upon the soil
Shoes are sinking in the shit
The waiting is the worst of it
And somehow somewhere sometime there�ll be enough
Marked like lines on tired signs
Your wires wind your mind to time
And no one knows exactly which to cut
Just got to dance in the setting sun
Breathing in the breeze and the songs unsung
And I�ll try to keep my head above the noise
Up above the noise

And horns will blow and songs will sing
And everywhere and everything
Will come fade like mountains sinking with the time
The times I�ve taken that road I�ve tasted where
the wasted wasted time all goes
And it�s a hell of a drive but it�s a hell of a time
And when you get there then you�ll know it was worth the ride
And so you shake your bones like the storming seas
And wrap your arms around the breeze
And the ticking in your earholes fades to blur
Fades to blur

Captain

I�m just arriving
I�m not the steady shipmaster�s son
I don�t know hunger
I don�t know how to carve the seas
I�m tired of waiting
I cannot sleep here on the sand
My mind is restless
And my body�s yours to command

Here�s my last dollar
It�s fair enough to take me sailing away
I will not fail you
I will not end up at the rails
My hands are calloused
My days were filled with love and war
My fight�s been fruitless
And my steps are heavy on the shore

Written to my captain
Tossed into the water everyday
Waves and winds are pulling him closer
And if he�d find me
We could terrorize the seas

My time is motion
But I�m learning stillness from the seas
My blood is thickness
My heart is yearning to be free
I won�t unravel
I don�t need to be anchored to the land
And I�ve been training
I spin and spin but still I stand

Clio

It�s another day
Don�t you feel like I feel?

This is still the world
But don�t you see what I see?

Another day on the crooked line

It�s a moving world
So don�t be taking your time now

Take a walk around
Singing �Oh la la la�

Another day on the crooked line

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot

This is still the world

Send Another Round
