Stereostatic Funicular, The Locals

1. Running Toward the Sound

I pulled this day out of thin air, filled it up with light now I can take it anywhere, Oooh big hearted Oooh run toward the sound

Made today out of red clay Punch and pull it around now it looks just like yesterday Oooh storm's started Oooh run toward the sound, The sound ,running toward the sound Legs are shaking Clouds aren't breaking It's all coming down To the sound the sound running toward the sound

Dress today up we look just right Left it out in the sun and today got loose late last night Ooooh big hearted Ooo run toward the sound, the sound running toward the sound sirens screaming waves are breaking off the solid ground Of the sound the sound running toward

At least we got something to whip around the curve up ahead it's that deafening sound

Don't wanna set you right, I want a drag of that cigarette. Don't wanna see you around, I wanna live on your front porch steps. Don't wanna set you right, I want a drag of that cigarette. Don't wanna see you around, I wanna live on your front porch steps.

Don't wanna set you right, I want a drag of that cigarette. Don't wanna see you around, I wanna live on your front porch steps. Give in , yeah, give in yeah, give in.

2. 3 Inches From The Floor

A cold night in a dark city Is it all about the weather, enough about the weather You slip around and you step inside And she never even noticed She never even saw you

I try to let it go, cause its weighted, with things you think you know I ought to let it go Cause it's weighted with things you think you know

You're crushing down and you spit it out Is it ever where you left it? It's always where you left it

I try to let it go, cause its weighted, with things you think you know I ought to let it go Cause it's weighted with things you think you know

I'm gonna let you I'm gonna let you Break me down I'm gonna let you I'm gonna let you Break me down

I try to let it go, cause its weighted, with things you think you know I ought to let it go Cause it's weighted with things you think you know

3. Inventio

Inventio: ( a love triangle)

Ocean: "Hello moonlight? You're wrong, I'm right, and you can leave me where I stand. you're such a pretty thing, but you're no diamond ring and I know, they go hand in hand"

Moon: "Hello daydream, a whisper a scream and every one is untold tales of one wrestless night sneaking into the light and I know they all look the same" Say you got it right the first time and love is all we need Salt the sod I'm running, I'm sinking But you just don't believe me Starring at the sea"

Sun:"Hello deep end, you foam I bend and fill my head with such delight you're such a pretty thing, give me this passing dream (yes i know they go hand in hand)"

Say you got it right the first time and I've just got it wrong setting fires then lay down right on them you're tired, your tide i'm gone starring at the sea

Out, I'll wear you out. I'll wear you out I'll wear you out, I'll wear you out, I 'll wear you out

Say you got it right the first time and love is all we need Salt the sod

I'm running, I'm sinking But you just don't believe me Starring at the sea"

Say you got it right. Say you got it right. Say you got it right.

4. Commerce

Sold all the space in my head All the sounds I had left And I never got gone so long

Tracing back my steps muddy right then a left never cared about making sense

And I'll always shake it off (Ink to new skin) And I'll always shut it down (Ink to new skin)

Are you melting in the ice caps? Another citizen of "done but not complete" And you're sleeping in those white gloves Selling pieces of your bones off one by one

I want a reason now I wanna figure you out Keep on looking never take your eyes off Keep on looking never take your eyes off me

Tearing down the sheets window covering, all the motion of the river outside its the sound of cracking under your feet In a dead strong silent hall

And I'll always shake it off (Ink to new skin) And I'll always shut it down (Ink to new skin)

Are you melting in the ice caps? Another citizen of "done but not complete" And you're sleeping in those white gloves Selling pieces of your bones off one by one

In the middle of the street there's a sound that's pushing up from your feet and it's "good sad". In the middle of the night there's a highwqy runnign through your head, and you're sitting on your hands

5. Bellissimo

It's a just a little life, it doesnt look like much a little seed of thought you forgot, but never gave it up it's just a run away, it's everything you want pulled from the wreck again silent friend now back to what you want

and if you really want to go and if you really want to shine bellissimo, you've got my eye and if you're after all the oxygen that i've been saving for my heart bellisimo, that's just the start

the mona lisa cried they never tell you that you just erase the skin start again all pink and perfect i'm just a punk ass kid with a sharpened stick pulled from the wreck again silent friend now back to what you want

and if you really want to go and if you really want to shine bellisimo, you've got my mind and if you ever take the train i'm the one asleep inside bellissimo, i'm so tongue tied

Gone the fields of fences gone the wedding dresses gone the net you're gazing down into the backyard Gone the ashes hopeful gone i never told you all the hunched up shoulders crushing all air out (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
