Bright Eyes

Learning on the fly
How to gather and analyze
Nothing is living if nothing dies
What an exception to make
Roundly rejecting our faith
When singularity...

There's someone looking out for you*
At least that's what I would assume
Always sleeping in a different bed
Never had a lot of refuge
Never saw a reas...

Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above our deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Now in thy dark streets shining
The e...

and you're constantly surrounded by that swirling stream of what is and what was.
Well, we've all made our predictions but the truth still isn't out.

I picked you out

Of a crowd and talked to you
Said I liked your shoes

You said thanks can I follow you?
So it's up the stairs

And out of view
No pr...

I met you through a common friend
In the attic of my parents house
And though I didn't know it then
I soon was finding out
You are the roots that slee...

Here is a scale
Weigh it out and you'll find  easily

More than sufficient doubt
That these colors  you see

Were picked in advance

By some careful h...

The fragile keep secrets  gathered in pockets
And they will sell them for nothing a cheap watch
Or locket that kind of gold washes off
The sad at like...

Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
And making him take me back down to the water
That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
...

At the center of the world
There is a statue of a girl
She is standing near a well
With a bucket bare and dry
I went and looked her in the eyes
And sh...

Sunrise  Sunset
Sunrise  sunset
Swiftly go the days
Sunrise  sunset
You wake up  then you undress
It always is the same
A sunrise and a sunset
You are...

At the wave of your hand?
If it's night you demand
Well, in the dark we are just air
So the house might dissolve
But once we are gone, who is gonna ca...

(No, it's 7 pm, so it's five hours before 1998)
 Contrast and compare between the busy ones
 And the ones that don't care
 Until there is no one that ...

Now that it's june, we'll sleep out in the garden
And if it rains, we'll just sink in to the mud
Where it is quiet and much cooler than the house is
A...

The language in the dimmer rooms seems to represent its light source well
With the movement of the music and the madness that is pulling me into this

Let's sail away past the noise of the bay
Let's sail away past the birth and death of the day
Let's sail away to where the blues and greens swirl into...

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
Yours is the fi...

 We must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read
 Into the face of every cri...

If you hate the taste of wine
 Why do you drink it 'till you're blind?
 And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares
 How come you say it like...

Helping the kids out of their coats
 But wait the babies haven't been born~~
 Packing the bags and setting up
 Planting lilacs and buttercups
 But in ...

Grey like new day leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio
We walk the forty blocks to the middle
Of the place we hear...

I know that it is freezing, but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some...

Well I'm changing all my strings
I'm gonna write another traveling song
About all the billion highways and the cities at the break of dawn
Well I gues...

The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming

Well I left my baby for a dream as lovely 
For a love that's only in books I read.
I just left my whole life in a taxi cab.
Cause it's just a memory, ...

I heard you fell into a rabbit hole
Covered yourself up in snow
Baby, tell me where'd you go
For days and days
Did they make you stay up all night?

 Urgent like the first day of May
 False and inflatable feeling
 Tugs at my senses, big as the Macy's Parade
 Such is th...

I like your questioning eyebrows
You've made it pretty clear what you like
It's only fair to tell you now
