We are Pleased to Announce... "How to make women beautiful" is now on available! This may please the many hundreds of our listeners who have requested that such songs be issued. Additional subjects will be announced later in the record. (Which should only be listened to in the order listed...) So what's new under the Indiana sun?
"The willows by the stream all say come and dream. We'll sing a river lullaby." Pound for pound is how we break it down. Walk the line between shade and light. Think about the time that it takes to find a face that everyone can face. That's how to make women beautiful. So don't ever ask what she's hiding behind. Pop's not around. (Into my scene, into my sight.)

Surely you saw this coming from a mile away. It's gonna be hard not to pass it along. It's a fine way to live, correct me if I'm wrong. Tell it how it is, tell it how it was. Tell me where it's going but don't stop there. I gotta know everything to be prepared. Once I had it all I just wanted more. More of what I know, I don't know. Let's go to the store. Gonna look around, gonna get ideas, gonna find another way to make this clear. Gonna jump ship.

On The Ridge

Out here on the ridge, how does it all begin? Hard work turns into play and it's still a little bit wild. In the evening it leans against the sky, yawns and rubs it's back. And sleeps. How many years? It doesn't care. Like men who understand animals seem to understand one another better too. They're all there waiting for you out here on the ridge.

All the trouble's after me. Contingent only on the endless need. I'm in a brand new seat on the archetype. But I'm in an induced sleep and I cannot drive. All the trouble's after me. Contingent only on the endless need that's not greed. Endlessly necessity. All the trouble. High-level, highlight, high-priest, high-rise. High-tech, high-five, high-fidelity, high-tide. High-tension, high-pressure, high-power, high-pitched. I'll be on the list. I will exist. But I'm far beyond this. Not myself, not by myself. Tell me you insist and I will resist. For I am not a part of this.

Another busy morning has become the afternoon. Across the dome the golden sun is always on the move. And the day goes by. It flashes by. Another busy afternoon. What do I need to do? Fill the car with gasoline or salten up the stew. What does a doctor do when the day is through? What do doctors do when a day is new? What does a writer do when the day is through? What do writers do? Loosen up the pace. (Who's settin' up the pace?)

Dirty Air Chamber

Wind flies the sky and survives. Open windows and sigh. Let the fresh air come inside there. Where's the comfort come from when you need a little? In through the window. Where's the comfort gonna go when you've collected enough? Close the window. Bad air out. Good air in.

John Malkovich was not worth being. Sarah Marshall was not worth forgetting. Some kid named Hope is not worth raising. But the grace is worth saving everytime. Turns out. Miss Daisy was not worth driving. Heather Crazy was not worth chasing. Little Nemo was not worth finding. But the grace is worth saving everytime. For this we should be grateful. There comes a time in every man's life. When he must simply sigh and smile for the day is good.
(Thank you)

It takes about a minute to get there and back again, so why bother. To bring a book or magazine to read or get yourself prepared.
The only thing you're gonna miss is having our whole life in front of you.

She has money and she's beautiful. She has morals in the age of plenty. The girl with the solid gold kiss. She gave away her fortune when he kissed her generous mouth. How long will she be the stranger in this town. The girl with the solid gold kiss.

Put Penny on the scene so that she knows what we mean. So that she knows. Let's put Penny on the scene so that she knows what we need. So that she knows. I'll pass it to you now everything you've waited for. It's been a long day. Sighs the sullen sky's setting sun. And how does this region's royalty still stumble upon your name?

Let's keep the moisture in the mix. Let's leave the reefer out of this. Connect the leader to the ship. Keep on receiving every gift. Time to see you when the river dries. I'll conceal you if you wanna hide. Then reveal you in a minute's time. It's not an accident, it's not a game. Why doesn't everybody feel the same? Let's keep the choices on the list. And all the voices I insist. The one condition that persists. By my admission is the fix. I can deindividualize. (Chorus) I will deliver you by the river. In depth and sprawling. Sneaking and crawling. I would consider. Any offer that comes your way. I've got some important things to say. If only there was a different way.

Come in now. Here me out. I don't want you to be in debt. The beat now is very loud. We don't want you to dream in bed. Dine in now or carry out.
We want you to be well fed. Be well fed. Beyond welfare. Forget not you're mechanical in bed. Commit now to chemicals instead. What's it to George Washington Carver... Or Henry V... Or Peter Sarsgaard?

I stepped into this world right alongside and unlucky girl. Who led me through the days on a path that went both ways. Tell me what comes after. That would be faster. At one point I looked back and behind us everything was black. I shouted out to her - Are we blessed or are we cursed? When she turned back to me, ahead I could no longer see. Don't know if we're above or under. I will forget this place. It's gonna get away. I will forget this taste. It's gonna go away.
