Daniel Album Lyrics by Real Estate

Somebody New

It never ends
Inside the painted egg is another egg
It all depends
Just for being here, you're knocked down a peg

How could it ever be the same?
Yeah, this is weird, you're not insane

Hi, hello, somebody new
Do the best that you can do
Hey, buddy, what's got into you?
You're picking up the slack

In a bottle in a hollow tree
In a field next to a creek
Won't you leave a note for me?

How could it ever be the same?
But you're still here, you haven't changed
No, it'll never be the same
Yeah, this is weird, you're not insane

Hi, hello, somebody new
Do the best that you can do
Hey, buddy, what's got into you?
You're picking up the slack

Hey, buddy, what's got into you?
Hey, buddy, what's got into you?
Hey, buddy, what's got into you?

Hey, buddy, what's got into you?
Hey, buddy, what's got into you?
Hey, buddy, what's got into you?

Haunted World

An unfamiliar place
With a familiar song
Got nowhere else to be
No turn you make is wrong

There is no rest, there is no sleep
The day becomes the night
And I am on some cobbled street
Feel like I'm going blind

The sun is shining through the trees
This haunted world is killing me
The moon talks to me in my sleep
This haunted world is killing me

We were welcome here
Then everything changed
And when I'm happy now
Somehow it's not the same

There is no rest, there is no sleep
The day becomes the night
And I am on some dead-end street
Feel like I'm going blind

The sun is shining through the trees
This haunted world is killing me
The moon talks to me in my sleep
This haunted world is killing me

The sun is shining through the trees
This haunted world is killing me
The moon talks to me in my sleep
This haunted world is killing me
The sun is shining through the trees
This haunted world is killing me
The moon talks to me in my sleep
This haunted world is killing me

Water Underground

Take a look around
I come from a town not too far from here
There is a sound
Never figured out how to make it clear

I hear a song there inside my head (I hear a song there)
Can't figure out what it's trying to say
I hear a voice inside my head (I hear a voice inside)
Can't figure out what it's saying

Water underground (fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
Water underground (fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?

Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Take a look around
Always had a reason to remain near
There is a sound
Like a signal between stations, it's hard to hear

I hear a song there inside my head (I hear a song there)
Can't lose it yet, try to make it stay
I hear a voice inside my head (I hear a voice inside)
Can't figure out what it's saying

Water underground (fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
Water underground (fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?

Water underground (fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?
Water underground (fall on me)
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?'

Water underground
Won't you cool me down, wash over me?

Flowers

We moved up here a year ago
I'm starting to feel alright
I'm gathering material
And holding it to the light

Flowers inside my head
Everywhere all of the time
My eyes are turning red
Always with you on my mind

You know what's right in front of you
Is always so hard to see
Feelings of dread are nothing new
No, certainly not for me

Flowers inside my head
Everywhere all of the time
My eyes are turning red
Always with you on my mind

We took a trip to Barrytown
The inn was closed for the night
The evening porter came around
And didn't put up a fight

Flowers inside my head
Everywhere all of the time
My eyes are turning red
Always with you on my mind

Always with you on my mind
Always with you on my mind

Interior

Get in the car, I've got a song
I have been dying to show you
So good so far, it's been so long
Since I've seen anyone I knew

Riverside Drive, November
I have been reckless lately
Passenger side
We'll be gone till morning light

Interior, booth in the back
Smoke in the air just hangs still
Maybe we should start to head back
Fluorescent lights making me feel ill

Riverside Drive, November
I have been reckless lately
Passenger side
We'll be gone till morning light

Riverside Drive, November
I have been reckless lately
Passenger side
We'll be gone, gone till the morning light

Riverside Drive, November
I have been reckless lately
Passenger side
We'll be gone till morning light

Freeze Brain

Go and take a walk, take stock
Past block after block
Doors unlocked
Trying not to get lost in the trees
Tell me, where are we?
This world is diseased
But at least we can be here

Now and then I can pretend
The sun is shining
Let's let some light in this room

Open up the blinds
Look into my eyes
I'll be here all night and always
The candle's broken
The pipes are frozen
Let's just stay home
Until the windows are open

Now and then I can pretend
The sun is shining
Let's let some light in

Now and then I can pretend
The sun is shining
Let's let some light in

Say No More

We sit in furnished rooms
Listen to Harvest Moon
Making plans to see each other soon
I live in disarray
I just wish you would stay
On the phone, I don't know what to say

The same, always been the same
Circumstances change
Don't call me out by name
Please, say no more
Say no more

The fog froze on the grass
A glaze that looks like glass
If there are questions, they remain unasked

The same, it's always been the same
Circumstances change
Don't call me out by name

The same, always been the same
Circumstances change
Don't call me out by name
Please, say no more
Say no more

Airdrop

Here, alone
Is where I will confer
My agency, a whisper
Into the wider world
Stock and stone
Without a spoken word
And when I ask a question
The ocean's all I heard

Say hello to the edge of the world
Endless expanse before us
We let our flag unfurl
In a bowl of freshwater pearls
Turned upside, inverted
Around our heads, it curls

The sun went down, we let it
Never been so contented
I won't ever forget it

The sun went down, we let it
Never been so contented
I won't ever forget it

The sun went down, we let it
Never been so contented
I won't ever forget it

The sun went down, we let it
Never been so contented
I won't ever forget it

Victoria

I went out walking with an old friend
And something strange was happening
Saw into the eyes of sight and sound
Pictures in slow motion spread across the ground
I don't know what people want from me

That's civilization down on the shore
Both strange and familiar, like I've been before
I'm waiting for a lover, not just a friend
Everything is a cycle, let it start again
Your consultant has gone out to sea

I went out walking with a friend of mine
We had ourselves a real high time
Not many signposts, there was only one
Wandering daydream, Victoria
Victoria, Victoria

Market Street

Meanwhile on Market Street
Things are happening to some degree
I bought sunflower seeds
Smiled back when a baby looked at me

Things don't seem right
Bathed in sunlight
I feel uptight
Bathed in sunlight

Meanwhile on Market Street
Things get better incrementally
With flowers at my feet
Let these people get the best of me

Things don't seem right
Bathed in sunlight
I feel uptight
Bathed in sunlight

Things don't seem right
Bathed in sunlight
I feel uptight
Bathed in sunlight

Things don't seem right (things don't seem right)
Bathed in sunlight (bathed in sunlight)
Oh, I feel uptight (I feel uptight)
Bathed in sunlight (bathed in sunlight)

You Are Here

What is it that you want to hear?
What can I say to you?
You know I'd like to disappear
It's not an easy thing to do

We are all darkness and all light
We are all fire and rust
Look up above your head at night
We are all made of dust

A point in a circle
A peak in the signal
A spoke in the cycle
You are here

When I'm a solitary dude
All alone with my thoughts
You know how much I think of you
It is quite a lot

What is it that you want to hear?
There's only so much time
Best we can do is be happy here
Sing another line

A point in a circle
A peak in the signal
A spoke in the cycle
You are here
