The Depression Suite

Under the pillow

I bury my head and try and shut Chicago out

As it turns out, there's a whole other world of sounds

Of perfect fifths, low skids, and Arctic howls

All saying, are you going through something?

Are you going through something?

Under the pillow, a little room to breathe

The early morning light's a pale cranberry

I hear the Aah-aah-aah, not now-wow-wow

Of a siren far away and closing steadily

Saying, are you going through something?

Are you going through something?

Cause I.. I..

I am too

Under the pillow

I can hear you whispering, are you going through something?

Well honey, are you going through something?

Are you going through something?

Then I.. I..

I am too

NewOrleansWorld

Gimme gimme gimme gimme-gimme

Gimme an opportunity, gimme-gimme

Put me put me put me put me-put me

In the saddle, I'll ride you'll see

There's new work in the Day Room I can't

lounge online, don't you laugh

I'd sell a giraffe and I'd give you half

Just to occupy my mind

I'll be driven, my eyes always moving

I'll be riveted to the task, yeah

No smiling, that's important

I will make my face a mask

And I'm thinking, just in passing

What if this song does nothing

What if this song does nothing

Working in the new NewOrleansWorld

I'm emptying slots, working like a ghost

I move through huge rooms with no windows

And no Gulf of Mexico

Gimme gimme gimme gimme-gimme

Gimme an opportunity, gimme-gimme

Put me put me put me put me-put me

In the saddle please

I'll be driven, my eyes always moving

I'll be riveted to the task, yeah

No smiling, that's so important

I will make my face a mask

And I'm thinking, just in passing

What if this song does nothing

What if this song does nothing

What if this song does nothing

What if this song does nothing

Don't You Wanna See How It Ends?

Bring on the requisite strangeness

It always has to get a little weird, little weird

Yeah you just bring on the requisite strangeness

Bring it on, then disappear, disappear

Go to be a man of the boom

To Florida without the ocean

But, don't you wanna see how it ends?

When the door's just starting to open?

When Athabasca depends?

Don't you wanna see how it ends?

I can hear you

But I can't stay here

You left me lost in the Barrens

You left me born on the stairs

It's minus eleven

Inside of my kettle

I didn't come to get lost in the Barrens

I didn't come to settle

To be a man on the moon

To get my little slice of heaven

Yeah, don't you wanna see how it ends?

When the door's just starting to open?

And Athabasca depends?

Don't you wanna see how it ends?

Don't you wanna see how it ends?

The door's just starting to open

Athabasca depends

Don't you wanna see how it ends?

Yeah, don't you wanna see how it ends?

I'm holding the door to the Barrens

So now Athabasca depends

Don't you wanna see how it ends?
