Major Arcana 02:59
The storm is raging but I’m caught in this cage I ain’t ready for this hand to be played Everyone’s looking For someone else to blame Your house of cards ain’t no place for a home This lonesome living wearing you to the bone When the dealer cheats you Gonna have to fold There’s only so much a person can take So much water ‘til the levee breaks The sirens in the street howl Make no mistake The faded paper that you love like a son Won’t help you when your judgement day comes The nail in your coffin Left you undone Oh say can you see I’m out of order baby By the dawn’s early light Please don’t try me The coins are stuck And the ticket man’s coming Run fast boy, run

Help Me 03:42
I’ve been waiting for you, you never come round’ Told me keep this quiet, they’re listening in Try to bring it back, but we’ve let go Can’t always buy back, what we have sold Help me I’ve been slowly drowning Help me This house is burning down here The beauty that surrounds us never lasts We children try to run free, but we’re trapped Oh we got our hands tied, wait in line There’s a comfort in this silence that I like Help me I’ve been slowly drowning Help me This house is burning down here Going way down Lower than I’ve been Please phone me in Please phone me in Going way down Closer than I’ve been Please phone me in Please phone me in ‘Cause I can’t keep standing I can’t keep standing Help me I've been slowly drowning

Smoke Show 03:51
Slow and steady Moving towards me Hands are shaking I’ll do better next time Here before me Smoke show talking Won’t be waiting For you to come round’ Smoke show Smoke show Don’t hold on To something, something Born to be gone Ain’t no pageant Raised on visions Feed you dreamin’ You’re standing alone Oh by careful Hands reach for you The eyes in the forest Think you’ll fall for anyone Smoke show Smoke show Don’t hold on To something, something Born to be gone Smoke show Smoke show Don’t hold on To something, something Born to be gone And oh I’ll try….

And I can’t keep holding on I can’t keep holding on She’ll slip through your hands And she’s gone Queen Trigger’s on the run Reel me in I can’t keep standing Reel me in I can’t keep standing Reel me in I can’t keep standing Reel me in I can’t keep standing With a hook in her mouth And a trail of blood Like a red ball of yarn When will you learn? To let go of the bait that burns My deep river nocturne Reel me in I can’t keep standing Reel me in I can’t keep standing Reel me in I can’t keep standing Reel me in I can’t keep standing And I can’t keep holding on I can’t keep holding on She’ll slip through your hands And she’s gone Queen Trigger’s always on the run

In the land of milk and honey You can’t always get what you want You better keep on running In the face of this smoking gun Rich man tried to bury us But the poor man’s made of seeds Try to sell the sweat from our palms Try to buy the big sky we breathe In the land of milk and honey You can’t always get what you want You better keep on running In the face of this smoking gun Don’t trick these tired bones I’m a cold sweat living machine Wolf’s hiding in the heather now Oh he’s the worst kind of thief In the land of milk and honey You can’t always get what you want You better keep on running In the face of this smoking gun Everyone’s looking for someone else to blame It’s a shame baby shame baby it’s a shame I’m ashamed baby shamed baby I’m ashamed In the land of milk and honey You can’t always get what you want You better keep on running In the face of this smoking gun Neighbors whispering at my sill, oh no The tides are shaking born to kill ya This old house is not my home Runaway honey don’t open your door There’s a wolf in the heather honey There’s a wolf in the heather honey And he’s coming, he’s coming for you There’s a wolf in the heather honey Run run run they’re pulling me under Run run run they’re pulling me under Run run run they’re pulling me under

Ain't A King 04:43
Whoever built this country built it far too wide Now we can’t say what side we’re on tonight Black market salesman talks us to the ground Listen to me honey cause there ain’t no way out Listen to me honey cause there ain’t no way out now What kind of man, kind of man, have you become? Shame on you, shame on you, leaving us undone You ain’t a king, ain’t a king so why are you ruling? Reticent and worried, I wish you were fooling The weight we carry has us on our knees That private jet for more than we made this week Gas pump fuels a car but burns down a man Hide out, keep quiet, won’t know we’re heaven bent Hide out, keep quiet, won’t know we’re heaven bent What kind of man, kind of man, have you become? Shame on you, shame on you, leaving us undone You ain’t a king, ain’t a king so why are you ruling? Reticent and worried, I wish you were fooling I won’t be moved by you I’ll bare my teeth While you price and cheat I won’t be moved by you Feed the revolution so it grows up tall A wall of people is better than a wall Streets they may be narrow but they’re full And we ain’t going back now hush be still What kind of man, kind of man, have you become? Shame on you, shame on you, leaving us undone You ain’t a king, ain’t a king so why are you ruling? Reticent and worried, I wish you were fooling

Thread the projector Watch it spin You’ll never know The state I’m in I ain’t proud Can’t get out now Open my mouth But it don’t make a sound What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? Send up a flare It’s too dark to see The hole in the sky Where the sun used to be Lay me down gently These days can’t rise Voice on the airwaves Wears a guilty disguise What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? Whoever told you, You wouldn’t regret Has never had A hole in their head So wake your sleeping dogs Don’t let them lie This ain’t the time to sigh Do you copy? What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? What’s it like to be on the other side of nothing? Dream machine That endless whirring Make me believe There’s something better Thread the projector watch it spin
