from Other Streets (December 30th 2001) (2:16)
Old man Barry walks with a cane, drinking the water straight from the drain
Asks for directions for out of his brain, drops his scarf on the Arkansas plain
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Jim stopped by Mona’s where he once lived before
Grew his hair long, Mona said "I don’t know you no more"
Jim went to pieces right there at the door
Mona said "When you’re done, could you please clean your tears off my floor"
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
The camel to the horse asked where the water was
Said the horse to the camel "Why don't you tell me what that hump does?"
Choked the camel to the horse "Why?"
The horse said "Because,
I always wanted to see a camel choke on mud and sand and dust"
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Asks for directions for out of his brain, drops his scarf on the Arkansas plain
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Jim stopped by Mona’s where he once lived before
Grew his hair long, Mona said "I don’t know you no more"
Jim went to pieces right there at the door
Mona said "When you’re done, could you please clean your tears off my floor"
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see
The camel to the horse asked where the water was
Said the horse to the camel "Why don't you tell me what that hump does?"
Choked the camel to the horse "Why?"
The horse said "Because,
I always wanted to see a camel choke on mud and sand and dust"
Asking for the answer, looking for the key
Don’t matter any, you still just see what you want to see

from Already Fading On Some Horizon (February 5th 2003) (4:14)
Old Man Barry walks with a cane drinkin the water straight from the drain
Asks for directions for out of his brain, drops his scarf on the Arkansas plain
Askin for the answer, lookin for the key
Don't matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Jim stopped by Mona's where he once had lived before
Grew his hair long, Mona said "I don't know you no more"
Jim went to pieces and cracked right there at the door
Mona said "When you're done, could you please clean your tears off my floor"
Askin for the answer, lookin for the key
Don't matter any, you still just see what you want to see
The camel to the horse asked where the water was
Said the horse to the camel "First tell me what that hump does"
Coughed the camel to the horse "Why?"
The horse said "Because I always wondered what it'd look like to see a camel choke on mud and sand and dust"
Askin for the answer, lookin for the key
Don't matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Erasmus saw King Philip concerning Innocent III
Accusing him of poisoning the minds of children with seven dirty words
King Philip beheaded Erasmus with the sword that he gird
Proving to Erasmus beyond a shadow of a doubt where the poisoning had first been heard
Askin for the answer, lookin for the key
Don't matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Old Man Barry walks with a cane taking directions straight from his brain
Findin the difference between here and the rain
Goin find Abel so that he can play Cain
Askin for the answer, lookin for the key
Don't matter any, you still just see what you want to see
Asks for directions for out of his brain, drops his scarf on the Arkansas plain
Askin for the answer, lookin for the key
Don't matter any, you still just see what you want to see

Grew his hair long, Mona said "I don't know you no more"
