I've compiled the lyrics for the tracks from the upcoming RABBITS ON THE RUN just for the sake of convenience.
1. Carousel
For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
Love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Never too late to change the pace
While the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
Love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the hour casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice on the thunder
Is the hour casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the hour casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice on the thunder
Is the hour casting spells that we're under?
Under
Oo
And all I hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
Love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
It's in the the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
A carousel, my friend
And time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run
2. I Don't Want To Be A Bride
I like your company, got a fresh philosophy
Never knew such a gentleman
You could take me on a cheap vacation
I don't want to have expectations
'Cause you could be the end of me
I don't need a house on a hill, a swing on a tree
A grandfather clock, porcelain for tea
A garden with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side
But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl and spend this life with you
But I don't wanna wear white
You know it's too late for that
Can't we keep the ever after, love?
Could it be?
Don't need no golden ring
It'd be no match for the love you bring
From London to Tennessee
And we could catch a train to another life
On a whim under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?
Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm in arm where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side
But I don't want to be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl and spend this life with you
But I don't wanna wear white
Oh, you know it's too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh, could it be?
Just you and me
Ah, ah
We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies
We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies
We will (live like kings under lavender skies, skies)
Built a poem we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
(We will live like kings under lavender skies, skies)
Just you and me
We will
3. London
Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
But time betrays me
And I get older one more year
Walk London's windy streets
Go anywhere but home
'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
That only cobble stones hold
Only the cobble stones know
And I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
You've got a knife-throwing kind of love
But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that
Wish we could get the time back
Because I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
Wait for it
Wait for it
Now I'm staring at the sun
As if there's a riddle I'm not in on
'Cause the wolves howl to the Moon
And she never answers back
No, she never answers back
And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never -- never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come, oh
Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
4. Fair-Weather Friends
Say you see through the folly
But you do it for the fame
And I'm fighting a jet stream
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
And you're in L.A., not Chicago
Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone
I found your letter on a full moon Sunday night
Some other girl in your spell casting plans for her life
Pour the vodka and it dulls sharp fights
Breathe the words, of diamonds on rings
And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Then magical thinking gets us by
Oo
Sing for the after show, those candy colored lips
Your age is showing and you gotta work harder for it
It's always easier with freshmen
I'm not as clever, it should bring you to life
And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Then magical thinking gets us by
My fairweather friend
My fairweather friend
Live for the folly
But you did it for the fame
Now you're fragile as porcelain
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
And did I ever leave Chicago?
I got your message, glad you're doing well
And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If we didn't really mean it
Then magical thinking gets us by
Gets us by
Gets us by
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
My fair-weather friend
5. Hear The Bells
...When no one ever comes
Kneel and pray to a grave stone
But the grave stone never tells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
December, crossing (through?) Chinatown
As the wind starts to cut through
Always, always on the look out
But the poison's running through you
My stomach aches, trying to concentrate
Up the stairs another floor
Now I'm asking a witch doctor
But the witch doctor won't tell
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells (Mmmmm)
Hear the bells
Fighting along the sea
Stars are watching me
Current takes me out
What will be, will be...
6. Dear California
As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know ya
Tell me will you miss me when I'm gone?
Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?
This alchemy is making me suspicious
Oo, as if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get, don't you know?
Yes, my grand friend checks it
Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?
Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
It's just me and my pup in the open road
But your face is like a paper cut to the heart
Slip away while you sleep
It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
Just go, I'll go, don't cry
Don't go, don't go, you still cry
I don't cry
Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?
Ever changing as the sea
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
7.Tall Tales for Spring
God rest his head Sunday afternoon
And the wicked in me is surely the wicked in you
We pray to a ghost that we never met
Time turns for a cure, from the scientists for
Madness, madness of the heart
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
And Hawking will tell us no tall tales this spring
When mine's all the chaos that started everything
And maybe it's faith, when the sadness takes hold
Still stars through a window, will they ever know this
Madness, madness of the heart
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
There's a madness, a madness of the heart
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
Stare a sleepy smile into a sunbeam
Is this nothing more than a daydream?
Color stained glass cathedral
Confess a past that will let you go
God rest his head Sunday afternoon
And the wicked in me is surely coming through
And pray to a ghost that I've never met
Don't kill for someway out of this mess
It's the heart
It's the heart
And there's madness, a madness in the stars
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
8. Get Good
Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on the gloom that rope around you?
And you will be the colors, when I saw you
Catching velvet on the moonlight,
Or you lost your constellation eyes?
Well, you could give it time
And I wish I could be there
Wish I could make it right
And don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
We'll figure it out and get good again
Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na
A stone wall running there's a breeze
A golden dust, a dandelion sea, a bout of sorcery
I know it's been so long, since fall is so serene
I know it's been so long
And don't you worry, you'll soon be off limits
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I promise you this
We'll figure it out and get good again
Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na
You said you don't know why you don't feel free
No, it's not true, but I know what you think
I want to thank you for being so good to me
I just wanted you to know
Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on the gloom that rope around you?
And we'll look out for each other and I'll look out for you
And we'll look out for each other
And don't you worry, you'll soon be off limits
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
We'll figure it out, yeah, we'll get good again
Well I'll figure it out and then we'll get good again
Well I'll figure it out and get good again
Na na na na na, Na na na na na
In a dream, a dandelion fields in a dream,
A dandelion fields in a dream
9. The Marching Line
Boots on concrete...
…. clouds, like cathedrals
The night hits the sea
And I walk to the highline
Ships gonna take me at midnight
The storm's sounding (heading?) out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Take back your vest
Don't know what love is like
A bullet in the chest
And I never say it
Never known a day without
The quiet regret
And so I walk to the high line
Ships gonna take me at midnight
Storm's sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
And leave it all behind
And join the marching line
And there's no captain, no calls
What's your name?
An army of one...
10. In The End
And in the end
Begin again
It's the way of all things
Your body's like
A wishing well
A million diamonds
Bones to dust
Bursting into a million diamonds
Carry on
In the end
It's the way of all things
And it will be beautiful
