Stay Warm (Do the Trick)

My heart, it ain't running right Won't you give it a kick Will you be my handyman? Will you do the trick? I count the days as they pass me by My tock is a nervous tick Won't you free my hands of time? Will you do the trick? All my marbles gone down the drain You could say I'm a lunatic Won't you set my mind at ease? Won’t you do the trick? I burnt the candle on every side Long since running out of wick Will you be my flame tonight? Will you do the trick? I’ve been split down the middle Call a doctor in quick I'm in need of a better half Will you do the trick? I just can't find my way all alone Man, this fog is so thick Won't you shine your light for me? Will you do the trick? I've thrown everything at the wall But nothing will stick Won't you hang around awhile? Won't you do the trick? I could build you a home on high I could lay each and every brick Will you be there by my side? Will you do the trick?

Margarida has a strange appeal Sways between suitors on a broken heel Of course, her desires they always mistook She'd rather have been scarred than be scarred with love In conversation she'd often contend Costumes build customs that involve dead ends She found her courage in a change of scene This Sunday social would be short, it's queen All her best years spent distracted By these tired reenactments With the right step She will try her chances Somewhere else There he is, a step outside her view Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue Night upon night, a faithful light at shore If he'd only convince his legs across the floor Please, don't watch me dancing Oh no, don't watch me dancing Something changes when she glances Enough to teach you what romance is With the right step They could try their chances Somewhere else Please, don't watch me dancing Don't watch me dancing

You were right, babe None of this means anything There’s so much more for us to be than seen Somehow, all of the sudden, I find myself struggling Two lives are too much and not enough I concede this childish need for attention It’s the desperate act of a disappearing man You'd better catch him while you can What a mess Past and present stitched together, perilously tethered I ain’t fooling anyone (least of all, me) I'm calling in sick forever And I’m calling bullshit on everyone This is a test and I’m failing it You were right, babe I love how you know me I know how you love me And I know how you long for this song to end

Loving you is easy I can do it in my sleep I dream of you so often It's like you never leave But you're gone below the border With the nightmare in-between I'm sending the coyote To bring you back to me Where there's a fancy hotel waiting In south San Gabriel Where the movie madams sunbathe The playboys parasail And I know you think I'm crazy But most people they can't tell So I'll meet you there tomorrow If I can have you to myself Inside the time I tried to occupy or waste Since you've been away It's hard, our plans are stalled on calling cards I can't see your poker face While your voice is sounding so brave Our Lady Guadalupe In plaster on the wall Joseph Smith saw Jesus in America Well I don't know much about it It doesn't matter much at all Just keep your head down, lady As you travel through the dark And if I should seem distracted By the color of the sky As a copper wire sunset plays a lullaby It's just to know that they've stolen Another day from you and I It gets me feeling low down When the moon is full and high They bait the route To take the place that's safe That you might wait a day A lonesome broken dawn That finally comes Just as I was losing faith You keep every promise you make Loving you is easy I can do it in my sleep I dream of you so often It's like you never leave But you're down below the border With a nightmare in-between So I'm sending the coyote To bring you back to me Yes, I'm sending the coyote To bring you back to me

Crazy people know The special place to go When the pressure is on Neurons realign Till the feeling is fine Or the trouble is gone They're in the business Of inventing saviors There's always trouble So tell yourself again That help is on the way And safety abounds That safety abounds When you need some Kind of guarantee That you're protected You start to trust The things that deeper comfort brings Before you've checked it You might be waiting For a long time There's always trouble So tell yourself again That help is on the way And safety abounds That safety abounds

If you have just one Let me be that love If you have lots of others Please let me be Please let me be one Let me be one If you like undressing Please let me find out If you like large intestines Please let me find Please please please let me find out Let me find out And if you're gone for weeks on end In crazy situations and don't know why you drive Through cars in dirty foreign towns Please let me find out If you shield your eyes From glory every time And drag your mouth to smile If sickness is your cover I'll try not to look down I'll try not to look down For if you're sick of cradling And dragging around my injuries You can just say "fuck right off" It's better than not knowing Or if you're just as scared as me If that's what it's about Please let me find out Let me find out

I was supposed to do great things I know the road was long But I wasn't raised to shoot for fame I had the safety on I cut my ties, I sold my rings I wanted none of this If you start from scratch you have to sing Just for the fun of it I’ll be alright if I could just see you Come up for air, come up for air A miracle mile, where does it lead to? Come up for air, come up for air I feel the air upon my face Forget the mess I'm in Hold me again, don't count mistakes I lost track of them I was in the mud, I was in the dirt Went underground and I found what I was worth All alone and I know I can't stay But we're walking up and down the streets to stay awake Come up for air, come up for air, come up Get outside, get all over the world You learn to love what you get in return It may be permanent, it may be peace of mind But you have to slow down and breathe one breath at a time Come up for air, come up for air, come up I’d be alright if I could just see you A miracle mile Where does it lead to?

Let me be your everlasting light The sun when there is none I'm a shepherd for you And I will guide you through Let me be your everlasting light I'll hold and never scold In me you can confide When no one's by your side Let me be your everlasting light Oh baby, can't you see It's shining just for you Loneliness is over Dark days are through They’re through Let me be your everlasting light A train going away from pain Love is the coal That makes this train roll Let me be your everlasting light

I'm waiting to know you, far away Send up a balloon, says "write to me soon" I'm waiting to know you, far away Set up at the pier, wait till you get here And when I'm about to give up hope But nope, with my telescope I'm standing guard the Navy yard To see, could there one for me be Baby, oh no Where did you go? I'm waiting to know you, far away Flashlight the cave, listen shortwave I'm waiting to know you, far away Dredge up the lake, all the trees shake I'm waiting to know you, far away Send up a balloon, says "write to me soon" I'm waiting to know you, far away Flashlight the cave, listen shortwave

I'm a traitor to your flesh in a stone You're gonna read about the way, the way a man can go I'm a good man (are you a good man?) Does a good man take you home? With a rejoicing mouth I sing for you and pause And I know you don't know what I'm capable of But in time you'll taste all the salt in my lungs ‘Cos I see things I actually don't see I knew it wasn't actually you a few feet from my reach I looked into your eyes and I began to lose my teeth And felt that you were dreaming the same thing And I know you don't know what I'm capable of But if you give me just one more minute, I'm sure That you would be shaking right down to your soul And I'd hope that the fear of the Lord brings me home I'm a man in a body of water so tall Could swallow your hopes and forget where he's going But I carved a map in the back of my arm So don't worry, I'm comin' home I said, don't worry, I'm comin' home
