about

This song came from a jam that we happened to record. The beginning was something else we were playing and then Joel just went somewhere and we all followed him. We listened to that tape over and over again..

I'm very happy with this one.

Dirt and Water
by Jared Lucas Nathanson

She's got a thing about Dirt and Water,
Silent objects moving by downtown.

She's got it in her from her Mother,
the objects move but say "don't reply",

Sleep..... That's where I live
Sleep..... That's where I live

She's tempted to leave all her family,
And she don't know if she could live with the pain.

But if I showed up on that Friday,
Will I act as if, and then recoil?

She..... knows how I'll go,
Sleep..... it changes me though,
Sleep..... we're dangerously tired,
She..... but I can't live with the lies..

Start it UP,
Start it up the morning came,
the lives of all achievements,
they're passing through my brain
and now I see it ending,
It's driving me in matrix time....
the poor and the wild,
the prominence of tile,
and I can see much farther than she needs..

The pain of the decision,
has brokered me this moment of peace
I can see the policy change,
ah ah and ruin me.

It's sweet when I'm tired,
when we, we are tired,
I know a half love's the same,
black eyed, stubborn and vain

Hey, this couch is so cool
Hey, why must I do
all of it
all of it,
all of this?

The pain in all the rooms,
the car, complaining on the route,
The lying just, to ruin the view,
and never think of the path...

This path of soul, no no,
the lies have changed,
but all completely,
they act just the same

All the riches underground,
all completely dirt and water.
dirt and water
dirt and water
dirt and water

Sleep..... That's where I live
