It's so hard hard hard It's so hard hard hard It's so hard to love your body from the ground Got my foot on the gas I'm cruising around looking for something Something to find I've got an attitude I can't shake it Think I'm the strongest Think I can make it It's so hard hard hard It's so hard hard hard It's so hard to love your body from the ground Got both shoes on I'm breaking a sweat I'm walking through traffic Like I'm a prophet There's no one to stop it Soon as the rain calls I slip on a shadow I'm siccing my brain on It's so hard hard hard It's so hard hard hard It's so hard to love your body from the ground It's so hard hard hard It's so hard hard hard It's so hard to love your body from the ground

Will the ladies send you flowers when you die Will the ladies send you flowers when you die Will the ladies send you flowers after god takes back his powers Will the ladies send you flowers when you die I've been dying for a year and ten days I've been dying for a year and ten days I've been dying for years trying to drown myself in tears I've been dying for a year and ten days Now I'm looking over the prettiest thing I've ever found It's a full glass of whiskey, and it's something that's caught my eye Will the ladies send you flowers when you die

Clouds 03:37
Come on storm, let's form our clouds Let's turn this world upside down When I think I'm dying I laugh out loud Come on storm, let's form our clouds Uh huh I seen the good ones I seen them drown Come on storm, let's form our clouds Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Can you see the mountains? Can you see the birds? Can you feel the fountain? Can you feel the world?

With my silicone jacket and my flat glass screen I got the facts and the figures Typed 'em in with my fingers Got to Google a question 'bout the QuikTrip's nitrate Fair it ain't with the mud and the paint You created the world From the dirt to the girl Impressive I'm colored so I can't get a job And I'm embarrassed, I said it But you can see where it's headed I want a new world and I'm gonna try To type in the numbers right and build us a sky And then divide it by seven so we can get us some light So we can see what we're doin' when we're doin' what we're doin' I want a new world, and I feel terrible I was punching the figures in and forgot a variable But, fuck it, it's done, it's time to make me a son I got the fear and the pain, it's time to pass it on Whoa, supercomputer please grant me my wishes Take care of my granny and plant me some fishes Oh, mercy mercy, I'm on my knees You make me a world all just to please you We're starving beneath you, them zeroes can't cut it But I'm a fan of the ones but you're all so fickle 'bout Watching the veins as the blood just trickles out I'm gonna sing a song And it will break your soul
5.
Tryptophan 02:52
I don't want to fight the heated fan And the tryptophan And my weed Stay awake, I hear the reaper's hand Drag across my bed in the silence I don't wanna go now Just wanna stay asleep It don't hurt now Where's the pain Now I'm old and I don't understand Where I'm going The floor is cold The floor is all i have Holding me up In the darkness I don't want to go now Just wanna stay asleep It don't hurt now Where's the pain Where's the pain
6.
Squirrels 02:49
I tossed a dime into the stream It was crazy, I couldn't help It was amazing, it went forever across the water But it wouldn't stop and didn't skid It never looked more beautiful until just before it hit So I swam out to look for it, underwater, just fish and goose's feet slappin' me don't know what's happening I'm knockin' on each fish's den but not a single fish is in But you're so young and so in love but that ain't all she's been dreaming of She's dreaming of you alone I called you up late at night I just can't speak when I'm high I must have been lonely and looking for a friend And I had a great idea but I couldn't find a pen So I went for a drive at night Saw a crazy sight Saw a squirrel in the yard doing backflips for change For a lady who vacuumed her heartaches away She's saying where is my son? Where has he gone? Oh nothing changed when the squirrel left But something sure changed when the girl left And now she's gone, gone And now she's gone Whoa I just keep writing the same song The guy’s right and the dame’s wrong And the game's on So turn down that stereo And pass me the chips You won't even notice your brain start to slip And now they’re gone, gone And now they’re gone Whoa
7.
Don't let no one in to your heart. She's a ghost, she's real she just do just what she feel Making monkeys out of men Then sh do it all again Don't let no one in to your heart She's the most, she bakes She just do just what it takes to get germs on a string Then she do it all again Don’t let no one in to your heart Don’t let no one in to your heart Oh, wait until summer comes Let the sun dry your towels Instead of me I’ll stay in the water, I'll watch you pack your things It's just that the ocean seems Like a tub of tears She's a ghost
8.
Someone's trippin' How you didn't call her back And you didn't want to talk Found my mission Ain't no one on the side And i do not want to fight with you now I'm living up on top a hill I seen you coming Jill You're swimming In the slipstream of a film Fighting off another old Dragon Like the one i tried to kill When you loved me still But dear I’m always ill for you now My dream is getting better all the time, That last night I could fly and I went somewhere but I couldn’t tell you how.
9.
He's the singer for your heart He's gonna sneak into your scene He's got a brand new limousine He's been dreaming for your car Dear He's gonna make it move real fast He's got some lightning for your gas He's the demon in your heart He's gonna watch you with his eyes Then he'll be gone before you rise He's been watching from afar dear And now he's got you in his sight He's gonna make your realize what you want What's the candy that you like? Where's the apple of your eye? Are you meeting him tonight? A daisy try to kiss the sun That sun ain't kissin' anyone He just tryin’ to shine a light on what you want What you want
10.
Funeral Home 01:18
Got my jacket on, got my suit on I'm going down to the funeral home 'Cause there's a lady there and she's waiting Wants to see me get my drink on I can't be sure if it's her Oh it looks like her, I don't know Got my jacket on, got my suit on I'm going down to the funeral home
11.
Oh no, the Devil knows you tried 'Cause killing folks is hard And it ain't right to do your part You lied, denizens of Mars You tried to always hate You know our Satan can relate He's been sitting on his throne He wants to make his presence known Remember when she died And you called out his name? Where was he for you then? Oh, where was he then? Oh, where was he then? Oh, God It's hard to love you But we try to everyday Oh, God It's hard to love you But we try to everyday Oh, God It's hard It's hard It's hard It's hard
12.
And my heartbeat waits For the words to say Who do I love the most The son or the ghost? And, whom do I respect One of them is dead And no one loves me Like I love thee Twenty bucks an hour Buys me a shower Scrubbing off the filth Then I take my pills I’m gonna drink it up Brother fill my cup And no one loves me Like I love thee And my heart is without you now You know
13.
Apocalypse 04:23
It's a breeze, coming in from the north And she's in the kitchen Screaming of course ‘Cause she's seen all the worlds, And their kids and their dogs And their men and their pigs And they're tall and they're sick And they're all dying quick From the waves of disease She believes it will come Overseas and at home Killing everyone
14.
Sweetheart on the lawn, do you dream? Welcome to the morning, whatcha think? It's the way it always rains on your parade, Things always come up roses for the greats I love you, take my hand, let me be your losin’ man in dreams

about

Bellows began composing songs for You May Already Be Dreaming two years ago, but he and the band (including Good Life drummer Roger Lewis) were fated to overcome a number of obstacles before the recording process would even begin. First, Bellows realized that he wanted to re-work a number of song ideas on his own following that arduous but exciting process, the band experienced a flood that destroyed portions of their equipment. If that wasn't enough, Bellows unfortunately found himself in a self-described 'barroom tussle' that resulted in the complete and tragic blowout of his left eardrum. Fortunately, he and his ear recovered fully, and Neva Dinova was able to resume recording.

From the spacious guitar washes of "A Man and His Dream" to the sweeping, dusty strength of "Clouds", this is the band's most fluid and realized effort to date. You May Already Be Dreaming was self-recorded in the corner of a friend's warehouse space in Omaha, NE, and later mixed with the help of Ian Aeillo at Presto!, Mike Mogis' recording studio, in the fall of 2007.
