"Once In A Lifetime", Live in Germany, 1980



Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Green Grass



Just Tom Waits singing about Death,

    You’ll never be free of me
    He’ll make a tree from me
    Don’t say goodbye to me
    Describe the sky to me
    And if the sky falls, mark my words
    We’ll catch mockingbirds

Crooked Dances



a minimalist, repetitive rhythm that slowly but surely mingles with your thoughts till you have no thoughts left

And I totally agree with jonpguitar who says "It's much easier to appreciate when it's played slower don't you think?"
