LYRICS AND LINER NOTES:

1. Thief of Sky

Robbery is over
Counting what went wrong
I can see the shining path
Where your life has gone

It's not right
Kill the car headlight
Kill the car headlight

This body swathed in furs and jewels
Finally done it proud
Everything you never had
You had it for an hour

In ocelot you oscillate
Abandoned to your fate

We travel through their sleeping land
Fled from an end decreed
Thieving mostly out of love
Our complicated needs

We cannot heal the hurt we feel
Stealing stolen steel

A moment , like ancient days
and you a sacred spy
I never had considered that
you might die

Laugh, I could have cried
You, the thief of sky.

2. Planet

Do you ever eat too fast?
I do, love’s like that
In the city, summertime
your heart goes out naive and cool

Are you angry and afraid?
I can confess to that
Do you look at the mess we’ve made
hope to ever learn from it?

Don’t despair
people united under hope
helping hand, emotions mute
we’re washed in each-other’s blood.

It’s not wrong to pray for those things
that your brothers and sisters might need
but if they take too much you’re going to
have to fight, there’s no room for greed

Without money, you’ve got faith
think once and get it right
It’s OK, we’re all possessed
of ideas and dead mythology

Don’t despair
people united under hope
This stuff we spill
is just the living breath of earth
