Hunger No More
03:58

big gray cloud with quiet feet
by the port or in the weeds
ate pretty good when you could get it
no one's to forget
and in a cardboard box by the empty lot cars pass you by
they pass you by
sunbeams moving in the grass
underneath the overpass
gangly merchandise set loose
when you were of no more use
find a pack of friends steal the housecats' cans keep warm at night
warm at night
green eyes in the dark
sleeping on the stones
watching from the park
never had a home
old friends come to meet you at the mausoleum door
walk between the vaults
hunger no more
little shadow on the floor
you don't come around no more
never asked for very much
never trust a stranger's touch
under flowers deep catch a little sleep hide from the light
from the light
green eyes in the dark
sleeping on the stones
watching from the park
never had a home
old friends come to meet you at the mausoleum door
walk between the vaults
hunger no more
hunger no more

Passing Through

i'm not going out to vote on tuesday
nobody should be the president
i will cast my ballot wrapped around a brick
unless one of em wants to pay my rent
you won't see me round at no more meetings
i don't want to hear another speech
the only thing left for me to organize
is the path from the bottle to my teeth
they told me at school i would make friends
they told me that college would be fun
you can take that paper you can light it up
i think that my learning days are done
i don't wanna go to work anymore
not cut out to be a working man
gonna take my paycheck to the liquor store
and i won't ever go to work again
when you find me don't call the mortician
just pick me up and roll me out of bed
you can leave my body on an empty grave
cause i don't wanna pay rent when i'm dead.
i don't live here anymore but i have nowhere else to go
maybe i'll get sober just to have something to do
don't wait around for me after the show
i'm just passing through
i've got nothing left to say and i have nowhere else to go
find me on the highway wearing out my shoes
don't wait around for me after the show
i'm just passing through
i'm just passing through
i'm just passing through

Condemned!
04:04
|

and the trees claw at the house like they're pulling it apart
and i'm staring at my hands again
and i got some pills from somewhere
trying to make it through the summer
this place ought be condemned
i woke up early
took a fistful of advil missed my train
clocked in on time
forced my eyes to focus
forced my spine to straighten
limped home in the dark
raised a glass to my prime
someone come and scrape me off the floor
i don't think this is enough anymore
and the trees claw at the house like they're pulling it apart
and i'm staring at my hands again
and i got some pills from somewhere
trying to make it through the summer
this place ought be condemned
this place ought be condemned
i sleep through earthquakes
lie awake in the night with the screams
i can't get warm
don't ask me for nothin
don't look in my direction
close the door to the cold
turn my back to the storm
someone come and scrape me off the floor
i don't think this is enough anymore
and the trees claw at the house like they're pulling it apart
and i'm staring at my hands again
and i got some pills from somewhere
trying to make it through the summer
this place ought be condemned
this place ought be condemned
everybody wants their personal curse
all things considered i've been worse
everybody gets their personal curse
all things considered i've been worse
i don't want trouble
head hidden skin peeling eyes wide open
caught in the surge
leave me where you find me
leave me where you find me
i will bite the preacher's hand
and i will slither out of church
someone come and scrape me off the floor
i don't think this is enough anymore
and the trees claw at the house like they're pulling it apart
and i'm staring at my hands again
and i got some pills from somewhere
trying to make it through the summer
this place ought be condemned
this place ought be condemned

The Space You Leave
04:08
|

another thing to leave in the deep snow at the break of dawn
another thing to see by the side of the road long gone
and you have to look
and you have to watch
and the things you do on rooftops don't matter very much
i will walk in the space you leave
and you will leave
you will leave and you will leave
and i will walk in the space you leave
and you will leave
you will leave and you will leave
another place to hide till the storm passes and the sun's exposed
another battered old black suitcase full of somebody's clothes
there's no way to live here
without a matchbook to count down
we'll still come around when you want us around
and i will walk in the space you leave
and you will leave
you will leave and you will leave
and i will walk in the space you leave
and you will leave
you will leave and you will leave
i remember when the houses crumbled into mud
i remember the hot wind out of the east
i remember you before your haircut
remember wanting you to smile at least
i remember when the houses crumbled into mud
i remember the hot wind out of the east
i remember you before your haircut
remember wanting you to smile at least
and i know you've got places to be
till i see you again think well of me
and i will walk in the space you leave
and you will leave
you will leave and you will leave
and i will walk in the space you leave
and you will leave
you will leave and you will leave
