The Order

Pick up the phone and call
Settle, you don't know it's her fault
But in your eyes, it's a game
Out to the curb, don't stall
Gather your things now, it's a draw
But in your eyes, it's a gain
But it's time to wake up
And go back to California from whence you came..
(refrain)
Now, you know what the order is
So take it to the back of the line
You know what the order is
"The first shall be last"
(repeat refrain)
I know that it's tough
To see the order through
I wonder if it stops
When we finally make our lives
Movin' forward in time...
Put down the phone, it's so small
You brought this upon yourself - it's your fault
But in your eyes, I'm to blame.

Follow the K-Line Down
03:38
|

|
Dusty rails down a wild, ragamuffin street
Stitchin' tails of where two lost counties meet
I'll stay ahead of the badges and their fleet
Through the valley you'll go
Down you go for hours, without shade
And on the ground below, keep an eye out for that train
(Chorus)
And follow the K-line down
You know you can't be found
We'll meet at midnight
At Ellie's Starlight
Now, just follow the K-line down
Led 'em out west aways to throw 'em off our tracks
Tie your eyes to the horizon, the loot to your back
The worst is over, now we're just killing time...
On you go, past mountains without name
Mind your dial, keep your pace
Don't you dare be late
(Chorus 2)
Follow the K-line down
You know I will come 'round
It's nearly midnight
I can see the bar light now
As I follow the K-line down...

Spent the day
Inside, the rain
Fell like tears down the door
Waste the night
'Til one last flight for L.A. in the morning
We take our showers, pack our things...
Aboard the plane
The cabin panes
Will protect us from falling
But when we land
Will we stand and know how to find them
If we move at all, if we don't resolve...
You look to me
Our perception is clean
Hand you the keys
I know that life is hard
But can we make it?
Can we make it? oh
Can we just say
What a perfect day
It's been since we were young
Despite the flaws
And the dismal calls that we're fading from
We take our pills
Take our seats
Observe the order
From enlist to war-worn
I had never really fallen
And, yes, life is hard
But can we make it?
Can we make it? oh..
Ever since I lost you
You did not know who to choose
Ever since I lost you..
Ever since I lost you
You did not know who to choose
Ever since I lost you..
Ever since I waited
For change, it has not payed in
Ever since I waited..
Ever since you changed
I've looked just to waylay..
And I know life is hard
But can we make it?
Will we ever know?
We take our seats
Take our leave...

West Egg

|

|
There's a light across the bay in godless East Egg
Through the golden embers - A yellow haze...
And the time has come for the lost to finally swim across
I beckon for an answer, gapping every cost
(refrain 1)
A drink to green
A drink to green
I know you'll someday feel what I mean
A perfect rose
A perfect rose
Gorgeous shirts, all in a row..
For you alone.
And I found you again, so don't say it was far from you most days
Have I been believing in an emerald, fake..?
(interlude)
You see these hands? They are locked in endless debate
Pronouncing every hour 'til your warm embrace
(refrain 2)
A toast to blue
A toast to blue
Sadness lingers on, a friend too true
A diamond face
A diamond face
Your voice reminiscent of loose change
