Flood Diary / Settle for the Sounds Video (MV)

Oh
Everything's going around
And it goes like this
And I'm only in this town for maybe two or three months out of the year
Everyone is walking circles saying "have no fear!"
And everything starts to rhyme
And it's a fool that says we're out of time, but we're out of time
And everything is tangentially related to everything else
I feel bad for every flatlander that picks us off the shelf
I never needed a pick-me-up more than I do right now
This would be easy to fix if I knew the first thing about
How you did it right
I knew you on that cold dark night across from me
I'm a fool to believe you know what's going on
I just thought that maybe I had it wrong
My wife's family used to own the General Store, for example
Back in the day, the G Store was where you can get your movies
You can get your nails and a hammer,
Like, you can think of anything and it was, like, really the General Store
Where the community comes around
And everyone knows each other's quirks, it's more personal
Everything is just becoming generally more sterile
It's a good state to be in if your state of being's too cold to tell
An oscillating eighty miles a minute saying "go to hell!"
But in the summer the rain
Might as well be brimstone, that's the game
And every Monday night there's a motherf*cker I see here at the store
And he comes up to me and tells me "I need more!"
Well, that's the way of this town
If you don't get money, you have to settle for the sounds
It's how you did it right
I knew you on that cold dark night across from me
I'm a fool to believe you know what's going on
I just thought that maybe I had it wrong
Oh!
Maybe I had it at one point or another
But right now it's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
Oh, it's gone
Oh, it's gone
Oh, it's gone
Oh, it's gone
