we're all born under the sun crawling, walking, learning to run we'll all grow, under the sun it's in our hearts, our minds, our homes hand in hand grains of sand we'll take our stand we're all alone and drunk wander the world surrounded by junk we crawl, we walk, we run raise our hands to the heavens in praise of the sun we'll take our stand

albatross 04:02
hey, little sister what have they done with you? left you out in the rain oxidizing, so lonely trying to cover up the pain I could not leave you in this place the words I wanted, I could not find them, I could not learn to say I reached out my hands for you, I watched you fall into space I reached out to save you, I watched you fall into space I could not leave you here campaigning for rust rubbing your dry hands together and marveling at the dust theses coca cola cans hang 'round my neck like some lost albatross their liquid weight reminds me it's time to start counting the cost I could not leave you here without liquor and without beer to try to find your way down so I left without a sound

fishlicker 07:15
falling asleep in your shaking arms promise to protect me, keep me safe from harm this train will rock our hearts to sleep swallow us in safety, keep us from our grief day to night, night to day the sun will rise no matter what we say we seem so unaware it's all true, all blue under the water the fish swim upstream, never to return but I know this train will carry me home Look up at the sky, see the clouds fall I listened for your song, listened for your call under the water
4.
the feeling was here, the feeling is gone it ebbs and it flows the spirit was here, the spirit is gone it rises and falls all I want is no surprises at all the ceiling was here, the ceiling is gone who's floor am I lying on? it's taken all of my life to write the words to this useless love song put me back where I was found put me back in the ground
5.
you can't tell me it doesn't matter now it will all find it's place somehow you can't tell me we don't matter now we'll all find our place somehow don't tear down the walls of your life just yet it's so hard to remember easy to forget you can manufacture reason manufacture regret label this as treason but we're not done yet don't tear down the walls of your life just yet
