Wheels
03:03

The wheels of human history all run at a loss
They took me to the neighbor boy to contract chicken pox
I could ride my bike away, fast as able legs
I would send you something from every stop I made
Then how would you remember me from far away at last?
When all you know is what I've shown through postcards from the past
Gentry raise the rigamarole to presidents-elect
We sort the mail for pocket change as we've been taught to expect
We are like the old couples who never rent-to-own
Distrusting of establishments from ages long ago
Oh, you know I worry. It's pointless but it's true
If it gets a little blurry, know, I'll always stick to you

The Body Betrays

The body betrays
The body betrays
Make all your plans anyways, but
the body betrays
Neath a banner of night
is our faith robbed by sight
Still, you tell me you see things the same
as the body betrays
It's coming on fall
you're behind the ball
"Couldn't you tell it was coming?" they say
as the body betrays
The body betrays
The body betrays
Make all your plans anyways, but
the body betrays
In the midst of the flood
it's all mortar and mud
There's no talk of the old-time displays
where the body betrays
Let the anthem be sung
You know what you've done
like you did in those varsity days
where the body betrays
The body betrays
The body betrays
Make all your plans anyways, but
the body betrays
Only say what you mean
as you would in a dream
and your dreams'll respond through the haze
that the body betrays

Hazel

If we have a boy, let's call him Hazel
let his hair grow long
let his naked skin catch on brambles
Wild knows right from wrong
And if there is a girl to greet us,
we must see that she grows strong
Set another place at the table,
life goes on and on
Pass the peas and jump the hedges
like we used to do
Sound the vowels out around the edges
all is old is new
She's covetous of nothing less than
everything we bring and know
So let's call the girl 'Hereunder Liza'
and, baby, here we go
Underneath the orange tree down by the blustery bay
That's where I wanna be till the tide takes me away
