"Believe Me" lyrics

Kernel in the husk, moonlight in the dust
Mother, father, ripple in the water
Everything you know, the whistle when it blows
They all say the same, they all say the same thing
Pattern in the stars
Look how far we are
They all say the same thing
Please believe me

All that dreaming diamonds, all those rich second homes
The night we broke into one and tried it on as our own
All our words sounded different. All our dreams were soft
And with the sun up golden, money couldn't matter less to us
Moonlight on a flower, cheaper by the hour
Deerhoof on the trail, the hammer and the nail
Brother, sister, tell her that you miss her
They all say the same, they all say the same thing
Seekers of the arc, coyotes in the dark
They all say the thing, they all say the same thing
Giving what you lack, knife at your back
They all say the same thing
Can you hear me?

My brother worked the wood mill, slept with his eyes open wide
I got caught in a contract, not much better than caught in a lie
And we all want something different and take it out on a loan
But make no doubt about it. Desire is the only thing that we own

Childhood stutter, one time lover
They all say the thing, they all say the same thing

Father, mother, isn't she a stunner?
They all say the same, they all say the same thing

Sleeper in the park, dancer in the dark
They all say the thing, they all say the same thing

The lost getting found, spud in the ground
Sister, brother, kiss of another

Pills are what got her, branches in the water
Nothingness in dead, eagle overhead

Winner and the loser, killer and accuser
Becoming what you hated, never graduated

Sinner and the saint, there's praise in what it ain't
Betrayed by your kin, sunlight on your skin

Secret of your lust
Swallows in the dusk
They all say the same thing
Please believe me

They all say the same thing
Please believe me
