I'm The Same 05:53
catch a ride on time, killing all the false gods in my life could you write my strife, on a book on a desk under papers and a pack of cigarettes I’m the same in my mind, in my mind I’m the same, i’m feeling’ fine, feeling' fine singing oh I’m alright, I’m alright I'm alright and my eyes, they were open and my face, it was strange; and the day that I wake up there won’t be any lies, no more lies and so in the sun, I feel my life coming on. it’s coming on I’m the same in my mind, in my mind I’m the same, I’m feelin’ fine, feelin’ fine singing oh I’m alright, I’m alright I’m alright, I’m alright

I can love you better I can love you when you're mine all mine I’ll build a house so fine and in this house we will sing and in this house we will fight and in this house we will love hear the floors creak at night and in our room I will swoon to you in the light of the moon you will see me come to you taken by taken by your beauty I will come to you

Folly 03:19
the tips of the palm trees like the fingers of the vultures moon among the clouds is the eye of the grackle the water in the sea holds the ashes your bones gave wind blows my salty hair it’s the same wind on which the pelicans soar back and forth, back and forth the tips of the palm trees like the fingers of the vultures moon among the clouds is the eye of the grackle
