Lyrics




Tell us all a story about how it used to be
Make it up and write it down
Just like history
About goldilocks and the three bears
Nature in the cross hairs
And how we all ascended from the deep green sea
When it's not too hot, not too cold
Not too meek, not too bold
When it's just right and you add sunlight
Then we're home
Finally home
Home in the land of the homeless
Finally home,
Oh, what are we going to do
I never did a thing to you
Time peaceful as a hurricane eye
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
A history of whispers
A shadow of a horse
Faces painted black in sorrow and remorse
White cloud, black crow
Crucifix and arrow
The oldest silence speak the loudest
Under the deep green sea
When speech becomes a crime
Silence leads the spirit
Over the bridge of time
Over the bridge of time
I'm walking with my family
And the road begins to climb
And it's, oh lord how we going to pray
With crazy angel voices all night
'Til it's a new day
Peaceful as a hurricane
Peaceful as a hurricane
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
Peaceful as a hurricane
Peaceful as a hurricane
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
You want to be a leader?
You want to change the game?
Turn your back on money
Walk away from fame
You want to be a missionary?
Got that missionary zeal?
Let a stranger change your life
How is that make you feel?
You want to be a writer
But you don't know how or when
Find a quiet place
Use a humble pen
You want to talk-talk-talk about it
All night squawk about
The ocean and the atmosphere
Well, I've been away for a long time
And it looks like a mess around here
I'll be away for a long time
So here's how the story goes
There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She was baking a cinnamon pie
She fell asleep in a washing machine
Woke up in a hurricane eye
