Older men
That's what you call the high kids from the city
UMN
Come to the country to teach you graffiti
Heaven sent
they'll pitch tents while you sit pretty
You can't wait to go
can't wait to expand
can't wait to get down to your first summer camp
of love!
Seventeen
a lot more mature than any boy your age
sweaty clean
Remember him fondly, remember him always
moving on
there's a lot more firsts coming up and calling
You won't have to leave
the fun that you'll have
the answers you'll find there in damp sleeping bags
You can't wait to go
can't wait to expand
can't wait to get down to your first summer camp
of love!

Story of the Other News

It's all a bunch of printed noise
A swarm of letters with the headlines taken out
That's the story of the other news
When you have such a lovely voice
No one cares about the sense you're making
That's the story of the other news
That's the story but it won't get through
That's the story of the other news
That's the story (don't break my heart)
That's the story of the other news

These Trails
03:45

You can't get out there too early
to see the scenery far and near
but all the scenery that I see
are footprints everywhere
These trails I'm walking on
do they stray or do they lead to you?
I don't know
I just keep on
these trails
I'm supposed to watch my step here
without ever asking why
but everywhere without a guard rail is called a death trap now
by folks who didn't die
These trails I'm walking on
do they stray or do they lead to you?
I don't know
I just keep on
these trails
Know I should look around and see what
is in the sky and get my mind blown
But my eyes are on the ground, you see I'm searching for a spot
to leave a foot print of my own
These trails I'm walking on
do they stray or do they lead to you?
I don't know
I just keep on
these trails

I said something worthwhile
Been saving it for days
it pulled the corners of your smile
and washed across your face
and I'm starting to realize
I could easily spend my whole life
only trying to light up your Pete Townsend eyes
You're prone to get distracted
and gaze into the abyss
so when you're bored it's never personal
but when you're not it always is
and I'm staring to realize
I could easily spend my whole life
always trying to light up your Pete Townsend eyes
(they flash at me like cameras
hope I didn't make a face just then)
(I try to turn my good side
going in your scrapbook again)

Four Winds
03:04

Everytime you fall
every time the rivers foam
The keys to your apartment can't unlock your childhood home
Walk out through the streets in the foggy night
Parent's got you covered
Friends won't let you fall apart
Give them all you got
you owe them all a brand new start
Four winds in your back
Four winds to carry you back home
Everywhere you turn
in every door a ghost appears
Save up all you want, that store has been closed for years
Walk out when it's dim, and you can't even see
You search with half your heart
in the other half you know that
The things you lose aren't always where you lost them at
Four winds in your back
Four winds to carry you back home
