1. Matmos

Filtered feelings gathering
Like the holes in a chair
Can touch the air with your fingers
Change the atmospheres here

Beneath all my memories
And take away from me the past
And take constucted slowly mortal
Is thinking laughing at toughts
I know your thoughts

Something clicked in my mind
Incredibly clear
With all the times you've arrived
When we were already here
You're pulling me to the ground
Please help me be there
There ain't no need to decide

So keep your feelings atomized
As gathered ashes on a wing
Don't let me hear insaturation
With Only echoes withering

Remember all the days
Of raising up own high
To steal the sun
Following the dream
So far away
Better than a whole
Another day

For another time
Is mine

Something clicked in my mind
Incredibly clear
With all the times you've arrived
When we were already here
You're pulling me to the ground
You'd rather be found
I need to know that you care

For the love that I found, I found
For the love that I found, I found...

The end of night has come

2. The Wheel

Well there ain’t no fame and fortune
There’s only destiny
Upon the wheel
The wheel of compromise
Driving at the wheel
There is a prisoner
Upon a road of aimlessness
Or travelling without arrival
Well the wheel is spinning
Around round round round
Yeah the wheel is spinning
Around round round round
Well the wheel is spinning
Locked up your spirit in a cage
To watch it run around in circles
Here upon the wheel
Where are we riding it to?
Well the wheel is spinning
Around round round round
Around round round round
Well the wheel is spinning
Around round round round
Around round round round
Well the wheel is spinning
Around round round round
Around round round round
Well the wheel is spinning
Around round round round
Around round round round
Well the wheel is spinning
The wheel is spinning
Yeah the wheel is spinning
The wheel is spinning
It just keeps on spinning
The wheel is spinning
The wheel is spinning

3. Extra Vehicular

Bitter blue and alone
Lost again and again
And I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know where I've been
But I will turn
Turn out the sun
To a spacesuit you're born
Soft skin keeping you dry
So vulnerable and alone
Without a tear in your eye
I will turn
Turn out the sun for you
Turn out the sun
And take whatever my come
I'd turn out the sun for you
{If you had been} today
Well what do you say?
And when the time is at hand
To walk the void EVA
Don't break the back of a travelling man
With just the stars to guide your way
We shall see
If you'll turn out the sun for me
Would you turn out the sun
And say son of a gun?
Would you turn out the sun for me?
Well what do you say?

4. Where The River Goes

A blackbird came at the crack of day
From the other side of the window I heard it say
It's time to go
Don't be filled with the fear you saw
Waiting on the other side of the black door
It's time to go
And don't you know that I
I go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
And I
I go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
And the song I sang well the message fell on deaf ears
Too deaf and tired to hear
A simple blackbird melody
The sweetly singing of the sun
Right at the centre of a man is a spinning black hole
Now it's time to follow and I
I go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
And I
Well I go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
I go
I go
I go
I
Go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
I
Go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
I
I go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go
I
I go where the river goes
Where the river goes I go

5. Paris In The Spring

Come let the spires all sing
Go reach for the star
And see what you find
My bold and ambitious young fool
The dawn of the trouble you'll bring
{I knew at the} scene yesterday
Found your corner of the sky
Run free alive
God bless the US of A
Well that's what they all seem to say
When victory has long gone
The lie is still waiting
The ribbons and trophies {and}
lazy days under the sun
The dreams that have yet to become
And all of those songs you've not yet sung
So come
Walk with me down streets of rain
Long gone
The tears of a child that weeps
So lets dry those cheeks
As cold as the world is outside
But wait and hide
It's only goodbye till I see you again
So close your eyes
My only one
Well everything has come undone
Well there's bandits diving out of the sun
Vow
Lift up your head and be proud
Once when the spring came anew
Forgive us our sons
For leaving you here in the wake of Hiroshima's blues
Embracing now lost are our two
For we are the ghosts of the dead
All the lost souls who never returned the call
Waits at the foot of the steps
Well some kind of Mercedes-Benz
To carry us down to where the river ends
So come
And run with me down streets of rain
Long gone
The tears of a child that weeps
And tales to sleep
As cold as the world inside
But wait and hide
It's only goodbye till I see you again
Till I see you again
So lift up your head and be proud

6. Between Today & Yesterday

It's just a few miles till oblivion now
There was a bad connection from the start
I need to crash the barricades
Wood and paper that you made
To feed the flames that roar within my heart
Between today and yesterday it's all right
I know there's time enough to dream
I get the same recurring thoughts in the night
I never know quite what they mean
So never try to turn your head
Avoid the bitterness
You learn to lead your laughing {unintelligible}
I never had the urge to guess
The space between my birth and death
Another candle snuffed out in the night
It's better to leave your frustrations
Than ride the train as far as it goes
It's better unspoken
The spoiled and broken
Something that fate only knows
And it goes on
Well maybe I was foolish
To go and let you in
And I ain't disappointed
To feel my memories scattered by the wind
And maybe I was stupid
To try and get away
But it's just another daydream
That's caught between today and yesterday
That's caught between today and yesterday
That's caught between today and yesterday
Well we're caught between today and yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

7. Echo Street

[Instrumental]

8. Mary Rose

In each moment that we've saved
And each treasure we've mislaid
On each tooth and every nail
Let misfortune rip the sail
And bad luck we engineer
And each diamond in a tear
Won't somebody show the way
Out of this fortress where we play
Well Mary Rose do you want a ride
Over the {freaks} of the ocean tide
With no particular place to be
We just need to be free
Not living in a dream
So let's catch the wind by its tail
Come on catch the wind by its tail
With hands full of empty air
'Cause nothing was ever there
No sooner had the light been shone
Than was the light already gone
So Mary Rose take a ride with me
Over the edge of the waiting sea
With no particular place to go
Not Mary Rose
Instead living in a dream
So let's catch the wind by its tail
Come on catch the wind by its tail
Mary Rose with me storm clouds and rain blows
Running away over waves that are boundless
catch the wind in your sail
Come on catch the wind in your sail
And what sorrow that it seems
Lies at the heart of sweetest dreams
