Great Chicago Fire

I built the city of Chicago in only seven nights
I couldn't find the strength to tear it down
So I set the El on fire
And it passed the flame around
I saw a man above the rising haze
Eyes on destinations that were looking just like graves
I couldn't find the strength to pull him out
So we circled 'round each other
And measured all our doubts
The Great Chicago Fire
Was started in my head
When I grew tired
The Great Chicago --
I took a pen a drew the straightest line
From his name to little Asia, they mistook it for mine
He never caught it, but he took his throne
He spoke in smoke signs veiling orders
My actions were my own
The Great Chicago Fire
Was started by my hand
The flames grew higher
The Great Chicago
I waved the guilty cloth just like a flag
Soaked in kerosene reflections
That cursed connection rag
And I torched the city of Chicago
'Cause I never got it right
Who builds a city out of goddamn wood?
I have leveled it in three days
And I'm starting something good
The Great Chicago Fire
Was started in my head
When I grew tired
The Great Chicago Fire
Was started by my hand
The flames grew higher
The Great Chicago --

The Kettle Song

I can't settle
Everyone I know trades common sense for seeds to sow
I got this kettle
It heats up pretty slow
But I don't mind it's what I know
It's lame to walk without a heart string
Clink my tin cans
I'm a tin man
So tell me what's the plan
I'll write it on my hand
And I'll come
Bring my drum
But don't bring him along
He sings a settled song
I won't settle
Everyone I know keeps throwing rocks in rochambo
I got this kettle
It heats up pretty slow
But I don't mind it's what I know
You soaked up sunshine, to save for dark days
Now you're cloudy, stuck on the same old phrase.
I'm above the weather, man
Pass me a clinky can
And we'll cheers, to all these years
We kept our dirty ears, and never said "my dears"
I roll my eyes
When down they settle
Oh, I'm lyin'
Cos I wish I could too, I'm more green than blue
Explode
and find the pebbles
Oh, I'm tryin'
to find the right hue, and do something new
I won't settle
Everyone I know trades common sense for seeds to sow
I got this kettle
It heats up pretty slow
But I don't mind it's what I know
