(chorus) Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light) I'm very scared for this world I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light) Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene You're in the back seat laying down (say, say, the light) The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light) All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end But slowly drifts into sleep The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone you are the everything I think about this world a lot and I cry (say, say, the light) And I've seen the films and the eyes But I'm in this kitchen (say, say, the light) Everything is beautiful And she is so beautiful (say, say, the light) She is so young and old I look at her and I see the beauty (say, say, the light) Of the light of music The voices talking somewhere in the house Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep With your teeth in your mouth You are here with me You are here with me You have been here and you are everything (repeat chorus) For you alone you are the everything

05 \| World Leader Pretend
I sit at my table and wage war on myself It seems like it's all it's all for nothing I know the barricades, and I know the mortar in the wall breaks I recognize the weapons, I used them well This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses I proclaim that claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognize the weapons I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself (chorus) It's amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down Reach out for me and hold me tight.

You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar. I raised the wall And I'm the only one I will be the one to knock it down
06 \| The Wrong Child
I've watched the children come and go A late long march into spring I sit and watch those children Jump in the tall grass Leap the sprinkler Walk in the ground Bicycle clothespin spokes The sound the smell of swingset hands I will try to sing a happy song I'll try and make a happy game to play Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend Tell me what it's like to go outside I've never been Tell me what it's like to just go outside I've never been And I never will I'm not supposed to be like this I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay Hey those kids are looking at me I told my friend myself Those kids are looking at me They're laughing and they're running over here They're laughing and they're running over here What do I do? What can I do? What should I do? What do I say? What can I say? I said I'm not supposed to be like this Let's try to find a happy game to play Let's try to find a happy game to play I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay, okay

09 \| Hairshirt
I am not the type of dog That could keep you waiting For no good reason Run a carbon-black test on my jaw And you will find it's all been said before I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest It's easier and better To just beat it from the chest Of desire I could walk into this room And the waves of conversation are enough To knock you down in the undertow So alone, so alone in my life Feed me banks of light And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung It's a beautiful life And I can hang my hairshirt Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest Or bury it at sea All my life I've searched for this Here I am, here I am in your life It's a beautiful life My life It's a beautiful life Your life
10 \| I Remember California
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines The ocean's Trident submarines Lemons, limes and tangerines I remember this I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly was and almost rans I remember this History is made History is made to seem unfair I recall that you were there Golden smile and shining hair I recall it wasn't fair Recollect it wasn't fair Remembering it wasn't fair outside Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide A symbol wave I must confide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture I remember this defense Progress fails pacific sense All those sweet conspiracies I remember all these things I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly was and almost rans I remember this, this Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture At the end of the continent At the edge of the continent At the end of the continent At the edge of the continent

This world is big and so-awake I stayed up late to hear your voice This light is here to keep you warm This song is here to keep you strong I made a list of things to say But all I really want to say All I really want to say is Hold her and keep him strong While I'm away from here Hold her and keep her strong While I'm away from here Hold her and keep him strong While I'm away from here I've seen the world and so-awake And stay up late to hear me sing Just hold her I've seen the world and so-awake And stay up late to hear me sing Just hold him Hold her and keep her strong While I'm away from here Hold him and keep him strong While I'm away from here
