Now that the world isn't over And we can keep getting older And getting stronger opinions about things I think I already told ya I’m keeping you for the fight Since you got fewer opinions about things We keep it all on fire We throw our thoughts all in Burns from the top to the bottom now And then we do it again We’re building art outta nothing Forming a chorus line We’re painting faces with big globes for eyes Baby we can make all this happen We could keep each other awake And I could keep on loving you more and more each day We keep it all on fire We throw our thoughts all in Burns from the top to the bottom now And then we do it again Aaaahhhhh We keep it all on fire We throw our thoughts all in Burns from the top to the bottom now And then we do it again We keep it all on fire We throw our thoughts all in Burns from the top to the bottom now And then we do it again Come on lets do it again and again and again and again and again

What We Do 05:00
We got campfire songs in mason jars Love lost ones tattooed on our arms Vitamin D and elbow grease on tap That what we got to bring Yeah that’s what we got to bring And we climb the tress to see the stars Cuz the city can’t keep them from being ours Gotta get a gulp of the light before we sleep Cuz that’s what we have to do Yeah that’s what we have to do Yeah we do we do we do Yeah we do we do we do We got broken hearts up to our knees Shame and guilt stuck in our teeth And the fear of people dying knockin at our door But that’s what we leave behind Yeah that’s what we leave behind Yeah we do we do we do Yeah we do we do we do Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum ba-ooh ba-ooh Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum ba-ooh ba-ooh Ba-ooh ba-ooh ba-ooh ba-ooh Ba-ooh ba-ooh ba-ooh We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows. We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows. We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows We put our troubles on the moth’s wings.

Hooks 04:31
Trust me on this one That hook of yours in my heart’s still there no doubt It’s hanging on and I’m bleeding out Sometimes it trickles out when I’m in Portland Sometimes I leave drops on the chests of other men But each time I cross that long bridge it comes gushing It’s been a year of tedious silence It’s been a long and thoughtful year since your last blow That left this ringing in my ears don’t you know Trust me on this one That hook of mine in your heart’s still got it’s place And I’m comin to pull it out with some grace So many lives have died inside you Sometimes I mistake you for a grave But in moments as quiet as a hammock There’s still that last one of you that I crave There’s still that last one of you that I crave

Shake 04:35
A man of solid oak and his fine new bride Found themselves a farm by the river side. Everything has changed yeah it’s all come undone All they have now are their hand and the light from the sun. The wind it came for days and days And the earth did try to shake away our kind. But they held on tight and a few survived And they light their fires on the cold, cold, cold, cold night. But the earth is still tryin to shake em down Honey you go build a bonfire and I’ll can the farm We could live this way for a long long long long time Or till the earth stops tryin to shake us down Then a man that came from oil and with no knowledge Of how to grow the things that we need to live Crept up the river bank from the other side Stole everything they've grown by the dim moonlight. When morning came the bride she wept The man faced the empty farm and spit on theft. He said boy you better run cause the earth decides And people made of greed no they don’t survive. Cause the earth is gonna shake the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down. Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down. What are you gonna do when the truth time comes And you can not hide all the things that you have done. What are you gonna say when they ask you why you chose to live this way in your short short time Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down. Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down. What are you gonna do when the truth time comes And you can not hide all the things that you have done. What are you gonna say when they ask you why you chose to live this way in your short short time Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down. Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down. Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake The earth is gonna shake you down.

Toll Free 04:50
I sure love my friends, I’m happiest with them. Smile lines in fashion, tears to ashes. Front porch laughin music happens. Cause freedom, freedom takes no toll So go on, sing it till we’re old. We’ll keep playin songs As long as you will sing along Get in our green bus lets go play some show---s. Give us walls with love and call it home. Cause freedom, freedom takes no toll So go on, sing it till we’re old. freedom, freedom takes no toll So go on, sing it till we’re old. Let’s go to the mountains We’ll leave at the break of dawn Once we’ve left all our burdens, And all the bull ****’s gone Gone gone gone gone gone gone…?

Crisper 02:40
I wish I was 7 years old, I wish you were too. Then we wouldn’t be so grown-up-y we’d have better things to do Better things to do. Now I think about the taxes and how much money I spend Put the money in the crisper and make the bills real thin Make the bills real thin. And drain the worth right out a them Drain the worth right out a them Drain the worth right out a them I can feel it on my shoulders it Piles up over time I Got another bag to carry this time Honey it’s not mine Honey it’s not mine Just drain the weight right out a them Drain the weight right out a them Drain the weight right out a them All the dollars in the big books All the dollars in the big books All the dollars in the big books Count em up, mark em down And drain, the worth right out a them Drain the worth right out a them Drain the worth right out a them

Awhile 03:39
I could baby I think that I could, I could like, this lovin for awhile. Cause I forgot what it felt like to feel like this and I could feel, feel like this awhile. I know you as well as I can know you now without knowin, knowin you awhile. And I can tell, this, baby this one’s gonna be good Stop thinking bout the end when it’s just beginning Hold my hand to make your head stop spinning We’re spinning. I could baby I think that I could, I could like, this lovin for awhile. Cause I forgot what it felt like to feel like this and I could feel, feel like this awhile. And I can tell, this, baby this one’s gonna be good Stop thinking bout the end when it’s just beginning Hold my hand to make your head stop spinning Hold my hand, We’re spinning.

We bring summer to the ground We hold up our palms to the yellow-eyed sun And we holler it down And leave a trail of broken things Like bottle-necked dolls oh their chests rise and fall To the beating of their wings We made up our minds to believe in the sable-tongued night And full of our crimes they get into our mouth and our eyes We go down down down down down… We go down down down down down… We are heavy handed now We go And tell your love to hide it well Our bad bones are cradled by guns that shoot stars from their angry old shells And run… till August isn’t here With wicked red heat flowing hard in the streets. And we won’t come down my dear We made up our minds to believe in the sable-tongued night And full of our crimes they get into our mouth and our eyes And Hades below In our boat of stolen coins we go Southbound and dirty with the rocks and the birds all around We go down And we’ll pretend it isn’t true The night doesn’t keep us from running our mouths And that’s just what we’ll do And all our shoes are in a line Like train cars they tap out the words in our hearts As we run far out of time We go down down down down down We go down down down down down… We are heavy-handed now We are heavy-handed now We go

And they've come to battle And they've come to win Woohoooooo Whoohooooo Whoohoooo discipline Whoohooooo don’t let them win Don’t you be lazy Don’t you be lazy Don’t you be lazy Don’t you be lazy The deamons have come The deamons have come The battle to win To break us in Woohoooooo Whoohooooo Whoohoooo discipline Whoohooooo don’t let them win Don’t you be lazy Don’t you be lazy Don’t you be lazy Don’t you be lazy Aaahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhh discipline Ahhhhhhhhhhh don’t let them win

Annabell, how come your’e so free. How do you walk out of a fire with a scrape on your knee? Annabell, do ya think you can teach, teach that to me. Can you be my bigger man, for me? When I can’t be, when I can’t be. Ooo ooo ooo Annabell, how come you’re so free. You walk out of a fire with a scrape on your knee? Annabell, do ya think you can teach, teach that to me. (To me to me to me.) Anna bell the better part of me. I can hear you speakin so logically (You know the truth when, nothing else does) Annabell it seems Everytime it’s hard out here The scarcer you’ll be (You’ll be you’ll be, you’ll be).

You kept it all in line While I took the time To myself Selfish Self But I’m back now (I’m back now) Back now I’m back now (I’m back now) For Good I left twice. never again, never again You kept it all in line While I gave the time To someone else Someone else. But I’m back now (I’m back now) Back now I’m back now (I’m back now) For good
