The problems of the world can still be felt in paradise The pine boughs still feel heavy with snow Even though it’s summertime The branches hangin’ down like eyelids under coins The needles ain’t fit to stabbin’ When they can’t see the point An eagle is flyin’ round like nothin’s goin’ on But the crows are cryin’ loud ‘Cause I bet they feel it strong No one is wholly free, even flyin’ on the breeze Pushed and pulled around Like the branches in the trees It’s a wonder they fly at all, or that the trees are still standing tall Just to touch the sky Must be worth the fall The only thing to do is to reach up at the skies The problems of the world Can still be felt in paradise The problems of the world The problems of the world

Baby, won’t you maybe say please that you’ll be my baby won’t you, honey dear Darling can’t you see I’m falling Can’t you hear me calling Calling out for you? ‘Cause all I wanna do Is sing my songs for you Honey, though it may sound funny We don’t need no money For what I wanna do ‘Cause all I wanna do Is sing my songs for you Baby won’t you maybe say please that you’ll be my baby won’t you, honey dear Darling can’t you see I’m falling Can’t you hear me calling Calling out for you? ‘Cause all I wanna do Is sing my songs for you ‘Cause all I wanna do Is sing my songs for you

The clouds are quiet As the shooting stars, The cars on 30 pass by And as I wonder Where you are I don’t dare to wonder why There ain’t no home on the range The deer are runnin round with mange Ain’t it strange If you ever feel Stuck in place You outta watch some water flow In the mirror you see a changing face Someone you’re not sure you know There ain’t no home on the range People runnin round insane Ain’t it strange The purple night and the glittering stars the twinkling headlights on the passing cars the broken mirror in the flowing stream make it all feel like a dream There ain’t no home on the range The stars are fallin’ down like rain Ain’t it strange

Pulled Apart 04:58
Have you ever wanted to be pulled apart and put back together? Have them take away your aches and pains Heal your heart and brains Make you light as a feather With all that you’ve learned, would you like a new start Or do you feel like you’ve been ripped apart while drifting out to sea slowly by a bunch of sharks dragged down in the dark torn into by their teeth But somehow you’re still alive, in parts But you can’t be pulled apart And be put back together You’re not a machine You’re a goddamned human being Imperfectly whole Do you feel like you’ve been picked apart By everyone you know? Pieces of you paralyzed? Compartmentalized? As if you’re a piece of code A story that’s been told, as if you didn’t have a heart But you can’t be pulled apart And be put back together You’re not a machine You’re a goddamned human being Imperfectly whole

If I knew then What I now know I’d never go Down to the world below If I saw an old man With pain on his face His knees embraced I’d never submit to this place But since I’m here now It’s perfectly clear now that I’ll stay
