when i was a child
i was the lonely one
thought i was the only--around
then i found out
i’m not the only one
still i’m the lonely one
still i’m the lonely one
cuz i come from the county
i went to the city
seeking refuge
waterfall, will i fall
balancing the weight of the world
waterfall, will i fall
balancing the weight of the world
now that I know
that I’m an echo, from a long time, from a long time ago.

the secret life of guns
i know what it's like to get my hands on one
or my hands ‘round your neck
when i'm alone in bed
is it wrong she said
to dream about you dead?
i’m starting a blog cuz i'm sick of tv
i'm sick of the hosts staring back at me
telling me who i should be
so i wait patiently
maybe someday they'll see
that they're not foolin’ me
people step aside,
and keep yourself alive til I’m done.
God is on our side
you know you’d better hide and run
(cuz i’ve got him in the sights of my gun)2x
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)2x double the lead
when every edit is a lie
it’s like a thought tucked inside a ghost
dont believe everything youre told
go ahead and act real bold
and when your heart is nice and cold
just smile and reload
people step aside,
and keep yourself alive til I’m done.
God is on our side
you know you’d better hide and run
(cuz i’ve got him in the sights of my gun)
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

a swarm of bees
a swarm of bees surrounds you
and confounds you with their subtleties
a butterfly
a butterfly i spy
trapped inside the CTA
and with your hands you helped it fly away
today you’re on a train
laughing at yourself you find
that mary you could be happy
you could be happy
i wanted you to know
i saw you were beautiful
by the muddy waters of lake michigan
dont take it so hard
it just might tear you apart
it’s the perfect day to get out of your own way
ice is melting now, i’m singing “here comes the sun”
today you’re on a train
laughing at yourself you find
that mary you could be happy
you could be happy
i want you to know
the forecast tomorrow
look to the sunshine
and forget about the rain
cuz you can be happy once again
you could be happy

i dreamed about dying again last night
i dreamed about dying again last night
if it makes you happy for a little while
i’ll show my teeth pearly white and smile

if you’ve ever really wandered
got lost down a dark road
you didn’t know which way to go
and seemed just impossible
to find your way back home
from the point of no return
know you’re not alone
take some comfort in the fact your going home
it does appear as if we’re just passing through my friend
another beam of light just might help you make it through the night
we’re just temporary diamonds on display
when you’re tired, really sinking low
wont you take my hand we’re friends dont you understand
and i swear it’s still possible
to find the strength you need in this life you lead
call me crazy,
but pull the car up off the baby and she’ll survive
it does appear as if we’re just passing through my friend
another beam of light just might help you make it through the night
we’re just temporary diamonds on display

Oakland, California

you learn to survive
Oscar Grant us a wish
cuz you’re the ghost of the american experience

to know you
to know you

you’re alone, you’re alone
and you swear you cant go on
who’s gonna take the time to save you?
so put the headphones on your head
and spend the summer in your sleepy bed
stuck inside these 4 walls
starring at the ceiling
dont give up child
cuz somebody loves you
do you hear me
do you hear me
cuz felsen’s gonna save you
do, do, do, do
when your father’s at his Tiki bar
steal the keys to your mother’s car
take it for a drive now
know that you’re alive now
turn the volume up
crank the bass
and put the smile back on your face
take it to the freeway
are you going my way?
dont give up child
cuz somebody’s near you
do you hear me
do you hear me
cuz felsen’s gonna save you

fresno like a grave
working like a slave’
a hundred and ten in the shade
feeling old before my time
like grapes for wine
forgotten on the vine
i know you’d help me
if you only could
but i’ve got problems
you cant solve them
baby, dont try to save me
dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
field or factory
land
of opportunity
ten years disappear
it used to be clear
where i’d go from here.
where i’d go from here
i know you’d help me
if you only could
but i’ve got problems
you cant solve them
baby, dont try to save me
but dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
days come
days go
seasons change
but everything stays the same
dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today

when are you going to Honolulu?
pilot of the skies
to a bluer island blow on a tail wind
though i've never been
in my mind i'm there again
Honolulu
surgical wires
while the doctor smiles, he reassures me
pray my soul to keep
while they wheel me down to sleep on a gurney
in my dreams i'd rather be
with a wave crashing over me
Honolulu
