You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you’re on the street You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking. ---

So thank you for writing the best songs. Thank you for righting a few wrongs. You’re a savage gift on a wayward bus, But you stepped down and you sang to us. And get you down to the harbor now. Most of the sour grapes are gone from the bough. Ghosts of Johanna will visit you there. And the winds of the old days will blow through your hair. ---

Oh look outside the window, there’s a woman being grabbed They’ve dragged her to the bushes and now she’s being stabbed Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain But Monopoly is so much fun, I’d hate to blow the game And I’m sure it wouldn’t interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends ---

I gotta see my girl, I gotta see her eyes The barometer is falling, only she can make it rise There’s nothing on the trees, there’s nothing for me here I gotta find salvation and some thermal underwear It’s cold and it’s getting colder They’re evacuating Satan who’s waiting for hell to freeze over Oh it’s cold, like an endless winter The stars are all gone and even the sun is cold The moons on the run and even the sun is cold ---

I see the winter, she’s crawling up the lawn I feel her breathing beneath my palms She tears the trees down while curses roll from her tongue Got eyes like anvils and storms for lungs Hiding in our house, sunburn in his mouth, Summer’s in our basement now Light beneath the door, light beneath the door, Just enough to keep us warm Don’t you let it out, don’t you let it out, Just make sure he’s always around ---

When I woke there I was by the winter tree Nothing changed but a thought in the air Seasons turn, take their days And in time, I’ll take mine I’ll go back there Have you ever seen a better day Though we follow many different ways Though your mind may hold the winter time Spring is never very far behind In the summer under open skies We’ll see the sunshine, shine on Take it easy live today today We’ll see the sunshine, shine on ---

Sister, I lost you, When you were still a child, But I need you now, And I need our former life. I’m afraid to wake, I’m afraid to love. But just because I’m weak, You can steal my dreams. You can reach inside my head, And you can put your song there instead. Please, come to me. Please, stay with me. Please, Sing, Cry, Cry. [Sing to me, raven](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8sLcvWG1M4), I miss her so much. Sing to me, Lily, I miss you so much. ---
