1. Stick - (02:27)

Higher, higher
Up there where no one cares
We both share nothing

Park your car
Take me there
So little time to do what we want with time
So little time

Pick one
Pick only one
And stick with it forever

Take one
Take only one
And deal with it forever



2. Slip - (02:20)

We lost touch a while ago
I didn’t know, you didn’t know
Now you’re out there in the pines and it shows
See you driving away on another road
It’s true what you say, that you’ve changed
Time slips away in another lane

Time slips away from all of us

You know bout it
Too slow
You know bout it
It shows
You know bout it


3. False Golden Door - (00:57)


4. Golden Door - (01:39)

Every day
I feel the machine
I work for it
It works for me
I lift my lamp
Through the golden door
I won’t deny you it
(I feel the machine)
Costs a mill to escape
For relief
Secure in belief
That it would help


5. Nicoya (HC7) - (01:20)


6. (Off Camera) Solstice - (03:28)

Yes, off Nyhavn
Hour past golden hour
Coming from downtown
Indigo Carerra swerves right past us
Around the corner, cutting me off
You and I going off another time

Don’t like the man who went in the sea
Can I like the man who come out the sea?

(Can we hide it?)

Yeah, I know how
I learned it long time ago
I just forgot how
But if we try, I think we know


7. Marmeleira - (01:04)


8. Yellow Sheen - (04:09)
(Additional Drums by Jesse Maynard)

Fine tune
Cash out
Yellow sheen coming
Plug in
Park along the pavement
Screen door open
Hot day, in the mood

Take what you want from me now
(You take what you want)
Fill your cup, yeah it’s yours

Part in the water
Can you swim?

Ey, ain’t no-one I see
I blame you if you go

Did you drink from it?
Did the flowers bloom?
Did it burn up, too?
Blue angel grins backstage, calm soon

(It’s the last time out)
(I went back)

Sad party
Obfuscate
In so many ways
Eternal peel, eternal heal
Runneth over for you, babe

Ey, ain’t no-one I see
I blame you if you go
