Run Down the Day
05:02
|
|||
|
not for a minute not for a single moment no
we don't hang on we don't belong to what became of once ago
we look ahead we are ahead we know what's going to come up ahead
if there's time between time I know it will pass
before too long I'll be up and gone and getting on with the everlast
we've got it all, and this place is ours I know it is
running
until the day is done
got swallowed by the sun
don't hold on
it's alright to let it slide
we will never die
oh and we did wait to come of age to come into this
we're doing more than what came before more than what we already did
but i never worry, we never age, we just start up again
so at the end a repetend let's keep it simple and get on with
some things are greater and some lesser that's just it
the circuit; we run it down we're runners
we are without concern
the charge to return
it will come
expecting of a taste
on the next day
it will come

Coyote Song
03:47
|
|||
|
across the empty desert plains
the prairie wolf is crowned a lonesome king
and the lazy days roll off your tongue
you sleep so short
but you lie so lie so long
singing your coyote song
oh, secrets bared! you grin so wide
i’m not gonna let you come inside
cunning clever animal
i can tell you’ve come to do me wrong
singing your coyote song
you creep for company
oh! your majesty
you fool around with everyone
you fool around oh how you fool me
you creep for company
oh! your majesty
you get a hold of everyone
you get a hold oh how you hold me
you creep for company
oh! your majesty
you fool around with everyone
you fool!
i’m not afraid of what you got
i’m not afraid of what you got undone
singing your coyote song

Ethel
04:00
|
|||
|
ethel can you hold
we're almost through another year
then we will ring around
and sit with you for seven days
just a little more
the taste will be bitter 'til we reach our mark
we will reach for gold
we always do what we've been told
when you call me to your end
i will put my things beside your bed
and where the others will not bend
i would be the one to stand instead
ethel don't get down
we're almost through another year
we will all be fine
we come together when we're called
the men to bear your weight
are lining up from tall to short
and the tree left in your name
with a pot of soil from each of us

Hey Exponent
02:44
|
|||
|
hey exponent
what are you multiplying
today?
to increase the weight
upon our hearts
but we're all left in the dark
hey exponent
what are you calculating
today?
to occupy some future space
we aren't as light we aren't as quick
oh, you amplify
to be recognized
with intensity and time
i'm retired, i'm retired, i'm tired.
hey exponent
what are you accelerating
today?
to increase the age
of our hearts
to put us down to sleep

Verb Noun
05:02
|
|||
|
i am compelled to make
i am compelled to make good
and this part of that whole
i can see where it goes
but not why it is
just verb noun you'll agree
but i don't want to do just anything
is it any less than
if i make it with force
than if i was forced to make it
just verb noun you'll agree
but i don't want to do just anything
i am charged to make
i am charged to make good
i don't want to leave
these things in a heap
and to curb and to bend
while others pretend
and i sleep instead
in my head

Nomenclature
03:50
|
|||
|
in the beginning
i came in to being
as a single expression
pushed out from her organs
i don't know what i shall be called
how will i ever find my home?
after a while
we gathered the others
and formed a new language
pushed out from our organs
i want to know what i shall be called
i need a name to have for my own
our appetite for ambition
into delightful divisions
fractions of fractions of fractions
and each has their places
i got words in my body
i got words in my body
terms to partition everything
nomenclature

Flooded
03:57
|
|||
|
the sharpest alarm
i rise with the sun
and rays like a blade
i'm awake
and all are about
with leashes and leads
and purposeful strides
the bright light putting tears in my eyes
i'm up
too much to take in
flooded
but i won't sink
we drift into dance
i pass you by chance
it's almost too much
my long-lost half i'm quite overcome
i mapped out our lives
in thin little lines
mine goes on for days
stay with me here in this place

Tired Enough to Dive
04:27
|
|||
|
with every advance of the second hand
i'm dying, i'm dying i'm wasting away
i stay at home because i don't work
i'm dying, i'm dying i'm going to waste
i can't build me up
i can't build me up to bridge the growing gap
i can't run away
i'm not tired enough to dive
and i won't try
i'm glad to be alive
and each time i reach for a second chance
i'm slipping, i'm slipping i'm wasting away
if i don't move and i keep still
i'm dying, i'm dying i'm going to waste

I Am the Conductor
02:52
|
|||
|
into the pass
at the speed of sound
i will carry the light
i will consign
what will we pass
end to end to end
like when we hold hands
when we hold hands
medium
relay
medium
i was a vessel
on the troubled sea
and i did carry thee
i did transfer thee
like a song
that rides on the cardinal winds
like when we hold hands
when we hold hands
i am the conductor
i am the conductor
i am the conductor
i am the conductor

Flintlock Fire
03:00
|
|||
|
all the houses in the capital
lay black as coal against the sky
the people from our lonesome street
have been gone for quite some time
though the sun has gone down for the night
the air is glowing like a stove
we've all got nothing else to do
we'll build a fire to keep us warm
oh,
burn, burn
burn away this empty town
burn burn burn
burn us to the ground
grab the flintlock from the cellar box
get the boys to find some wood
there's logs a plenty up the boulevard
where the residences stood
though the sun has gone down for the night
the air is glowing like a stove
we've all got nothing else to do
we'll build a fire to keep us warm

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens
supported by 5 fans who also own “Verb Noun”
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track.
