Squeezebox 04:01
Now the ground's been torn to bits from How the plows ran over it Here's our first attempt, my friends My imitation Waits locked in Set the tracks on fire Keep the cold train running on time Organ man plays the Hammond dance Barking out obscene commands He's been known to spin a yarn So keep the sheep locked in the barn He said he left part of himself Onboard the Squeezebox when he Took off for town Said He’d piloted the vessel for the better part of two decades Set the tracks on fire Keep the cold train running on time

I've been haunted by your ghost Less and less Now I'm worried when you go I'll forget I need the haunting Won't you float on in You remind me of the ghost I've been The line from The control room To the sidewalk And the streetlamp Feel the static All around us In the fog

Turnaround 01:49
How the hell are we still here? He can't see and I can't steer I can tell we're losing grip Everything has slowly slipped He kept on saying "You keep me sane" He would exclaim I'd dulled the pain Never finished his prescriptions Two weeks in the blister pack Feeding fire with addiction I can't see him coming back Bys on top stamps Not long off camp Catching hands or Getting banned for Breaking glass doors On the dance floor Chat Conversation End Type a message...

They learn every word we teach We can all have beautiful things Everything within their reach We can all have beautiful things Frail shale on our jagged beach We can all have beautiful things Practice till they ask you preach We can all have beautiful things The harbour's eyes are blue and green We can all have beautiful things Despite the horrors that she's seem We can all have beautiful things With the happiness you bring We can all have beautiful things While the brass crotales sing We can all have beautiful things When the fanfare horns all ring We can all have beautiful things Memories to which we cling We can all have beautiful things We can all have beautiful things
