This old garment
can't take new thread
Full of the old dust
and too long in the bed
Your line was good but
unraveled in my hand
This old garment
can't take new thread
Ooh
This old body
can't take new clothes
I'm tired of the bar scene
and tired of the shows
I wanna be buried
In the field, I'll grow
strong as a daisy
and sharp as a rose
Ooh
I'm settling down, I'm settling right
I'm giving a fuck, I'm giving a fight
This new garment
don't take old thread
And this new body
don't take an old bed
You tried to put me out but
I caught fire instead
'Cause this new garment
don't take old thread

Joy to the World

Joy to the world
for evil has changed her
Joy to the girls and the boys;
we all were once babies
Oooh
Joy to your face;
to your dark and your light skin
Joy to the place that is safe
and you can begin again
Oooh
Joy to the world
with a light that may blind us
crawling on our fours in the night
God, please change us
Oooh

Family

Dad, you were more than a guide
drivin' in and out of sight
You gave your time to me
to Mom & Joey
Mom, you seemed always so strong
When you weren't, you'd just play along
You threw your paint on the ground
Picked it up again somehow
Oh, oh
You can chose your friends
Family's there till the end, oh
And it won't last long
so spend your time before it's gone
Oh, my brother, hold me close
You know more than most others know
Now ya live right down the road
and I'm wonderin' how long has it been
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

Return Begin
03:22

Another day
I wake up
your mercy true
Another me
but always you
Return, return
Begin, begin
Every morn, every evening'
Repent, repent
Begin again
I won't repeat all of last year's sins
Say the moment, stitch the hour
onto my absent brow
Stay the quiet, whisper light
upon my windowsill
Thank you for your query,
I am weary at the floor
But I'd rather stay home and wait it out
for return return, begin begin

Put Right
04:11

Sometimes
on a Saturday
we'll take the green line
to the dancin' place
We forget we're dancers
Other times
we stick out our faces
With our shoulders
we break up the spaces
We forget we're vampires
Once our feet are put right
the rest of we will follow
Once our feet are put right
the rest of we will follow
Dear you
I wrote a goodbye
on a red ballon
neath a pink sky
We forget we're lovers
To be true
to set aside
the bloody daggers
that our pockets hide
We will remember we're lovers
Once our feet are put right
the rest of we will follow
Once our feet are put right
the rest of we will follow
Once my feet are put right
the rest of me will follow
