01. Cold Call

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Pray to a higher power
Enemy's gonna do the same
You make energy matter
The universe doesn't know your name

Cold call, cold call
Enemy gonna do the same
Cold call, cold call
The universe never heard of us

Light those candles
Cut off their hands if they don't know how
Site that stanza
Get it all in before the music stops

Cold call, cold call
Enemy gonna do the same
Cold call, cold call
The universe never heard of us

I guess I'm fine but my neighbors could be better
I drank that wine and I got my reference letter
Who will they come for?
I wanna see you there!

Cold call, cold call
Enemy gonna do the same
Cold call, cold call
The universe never heard of us

02. Guards

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
We're kids on the corner, we're sure as hell
That daddy's got a gun that he cannot draw
We hear you're carrying yours as well
We're calling, we're calling, we're calling
We're calling you

Christians and cutters we all confess
On twenty-one channels, each day one less
You can't keep shooting the camera test
We're calling, we're calling, we're calling,
We're calling

Some guards call it the forward slash
Others can't talk with a knife in their back
We're call call calling
We're call call calling
We're calling

Got a king but he's sailling his robe
A kid kissed him and he turned to a toad
The queen screamed but it came out a croak
And if you listen you can still hear them singing

Your dog's on the phone, are you out or in?
Another day dead is a week for him
You can't keep huffing the oxygen
We're calling, we're calling, we're calling,
We're calling

Some guards call it the forward slash
Others can't talk with a knife in their back
We're call call calling
We're call call calling
We're calling you

03. Indian Curse

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Uncovered for a little while
You told me, don't stop
Uncovered for a little while
With no one there to terrify

We'll start in Canada
We have a chance there
Move forward in reverse
Oh come on indian curse
We'll end with Mexico
Over our shoulders
Oh come on indian curse

We'll pass through Panama
That's what it's there for
Oh engine running worse
Oh come on indian curse
We exit Ecuador
Along the shoulder
Oh come on indian curse

Gonna wait this out
Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out on the plains
Changes
No more changes
No more changes after now

Uncovered for a little while
You told me, don't stop
Uncovered for a little while
With no one there to terrify

04. Enemy Prayer

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore, Gavin Harrison
Instrumental

05. Wind Won't Howl

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
This quality won't come again
Completely overwhelmed with nothing
Compare the quiet to the pain
Just tell them everything is perfect

Well the camera get what the camera take
And it's all gone, all gone
And the wind won't howl if the window break
And we're all gone
Well the indian want what the camera take
But it's all gone
And the guard go home when the jailhouse break
Cause they're all gone

This quality won't come again
Completely overwhelmed with nothing
Compare the quiet to the pain
Just tell them everything is perfect

We were already down before
We were already down on the floor

06. Big Chief II

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Dead man dog at the graveyard fence
He wanna go where his master went
Cop shoot man 'cause the knife got bent
And the landlord suin' for the backward rent

Man bite dog 'cause the master dead
And the dog just glad that someone got fed
Man shoot wife 'cause the knife got bent
And the wife take offense to the message that sent

Chief leave nothin' before he drop
Hock his rhymes at the pawn-it shop
Mail his feather to an astronaut
Spent all the cash on a corner plot

Spaceman glad at the deal he got
He second line in space a lot
Them cowboys love them indian mask
And they write it off on the turbotax

We got no money 'cause we just got paid
We smoke in packs on the esplanade
We trawl for oil where they stumped the oak
And we can't go home 'cause the river broke

We got no money 'cause we just got paid
We smoke in packs on the esplanade
We trawl for oil where they stumped the oak
And we can't go home 'cause the river broke

07. For Nothing

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Don't feel like the sun's coming up
Don't feel like it's gonna get better

I can't keep promises
I forget beeing seventeen
Hard times comes to your troubled son
Hope is the last thing that he needs
Hope is a candle that feeds
Off the air till it leaves almost nothing

Gotta stay
Gonna stay
Gonna stay
Can't stay

Hope only got us so far
And the saddest thing
As the wind blows your hair
Are the seeds of our nothing

08. Invisible Men

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Give us a name
So we know where we're starting from
Focus the wave
Between the cars
Under the sun

Floodlights on the rail yard hold you, hold you
Headlights on the highway pull you, pull you
But no one turns them off
No one turns them off like you do

Under cover of night
We go up the river side
Show us your hands
As we come again
The invisible man

Starlight on the railway
Holds you, holds you like
Headlights on the highway pull you, pull you
But no one turns them off
No one turns them off like you do

If all we have is time to cover for
You've got secrets keep your secrets don't we all
I'm trying to shake these pictures but I'm losing
Over bridges under tunnels keep it moving

Careless causes heaven's gonna
Burn a hole beside my bed
Time moves slow so tap the tempo
Frozen on the string you broke
Houseless haunted voices gonna
Shake the cup beside my bed
Sound move slow so tap the tempo
Stretched out on the string you broke

If all we have is time to cover for
You've got secrets keep your secrets don't we all

Under cover of night
We go up the river side
Show us your hands
As we come again
The invisible man
