The Mountain Goats; Hebrews 11:40 Build fires to keep the beacon flashing Where the earth lies flat Blood calls to blood as the hours draw down Invent my own family if it comes to that Hold them close, hold them near Tell them no one's ever going to hurt them here
Steal the treasure and try to leave town Fight my way back down Don't want to hurt anyone Probably gonna have to before it's all done
Transition period between Akhi's death and the present.
Hybrid; Choke Sink Into the storm again Cold and disconnected We've opened every door Burn The city is too bright I'll stay here with my secrets Until it fades to dust
Prayer is samba & surdu her lips are red, they know what to do
Prophet waves his flag, he's so devout there's a waterfall of sewage from his mouth
The children of the dying earth our possessions & our money have no worth
Beirut; Transatlantique No, I couldn't tell you how the house burned down Last night while we were running around Midnight surrounds you, the moonlight makes you proud Last night, oh, we were running around
Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all
All along I was your home All along I was your home
Alex/Cat
Beirut; Elephant Gun If I was young, I'd flee this town I'd bury my dreams underground As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
Far from home, elephant gun Let's take them down one by one We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around
Mumford & Sons; Dust Bowl Dance Well you are my accuser, now look in my face Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace So one man has and another has not How can you love what it is you have got When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
There will come a time I will look in your eye You will pray to the God that you always denied
Alex's general view of the world.
Neko Case; This Tornado Loves You my love, i am the speed of sound i left them motherless, fatherless their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths but it's never enough
i want you...
carved your name across three counties ground it in with bloody hides their broken necks will line the ditch till you stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop this madness
i want you...
i have waited with a glacier's patience smashed every transformer with every trailer till nothing was standing sixty-five miles wide still, you are nowhere still, you are nowhere nowhere in sight

Build fires to keep the beacon flashing
Where the earth lies flat
Blood calls to blood as the hours draw down
Invent my own family if it comes to that
Hold them close, hold them near
Tell them no one's ever going to hurt them here
Steal the treasure and try to leave town
Fight my way back down
Don't want to hurt anyone
Probably gonna have to before it's all done
Transition period between Akhi's death and the present.
Hybrid; Choke
Sink
Into the storm again
Cold and disconnected
We've opened every door
Burn
The city is too bright
I'll stay here with my secrets
Until it fades to dust
Apostle of Hustle; Energy of Death
In the rhythm of this song
we drink we fuck & we fight we bring it on
Prayer is samba & surdu
her lips are red, they know what to do
Prophet waves his flag, he's so devout
there's a waterfall of sewage from his mouth
The children of the dying earth
our possessions & our money have no worth
Beirut; Transatlantique
No, I couldn't tell you how the house burned down

Midnight surrounds you, the moonlight makes you proud
Last night, oh, we were running around
Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all
Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all
All along I was your home
All along I was your home
