Moths
03:38
|
|||
|
Holding on to spider webs
Poked my eyes and in my head
Got no time for cigarettes
Cause I ain't got nowhere to smoke
Oh Oh, We'll settle down,
In a shitty little dead end town
Oh Oh, We'll settle down,
All the children runnin' upside down
Moths all flyin' out the mouth
Records spin around and 'round
Every single subtle sound
Pulls me closer to the ground
Oh Oh, We'll settle down,
In A shitty little dead end town
Oh Oh, We'll settle down,
All the trees are growing upside down
Well if you're not quite screwed on right,
You gotta loosen up
If your first night wasn't tight
Go tighten up
I hope it's not too much
All the children kill and steal
Breaking open rope and seals
So turn that wheel and turn my heels
And tell me what you wanna steal

Amphibians
02:37
|

|
There were amphibians, living in the creek
I wanna know, how do they see
With water in their eyes, and flies in their mouth
I wanna know, how they get around
You know I wanna know, how they make that crazy sound
I wanna know why I can't breathe under water
I wanna know why I can't breathe around you
There were mosquitoes drinking your blood
There were lightning bugs smokin' the bud
And licking their lips, and falling asleep
I wanna know what you think about me
Oh baby I wanna know what you think about me
I wanna know why I can't breathe under water
I wanna know why I can't breathe under water
Somebody dropped a fucking hive in my head,
There's too much noise, I can't get out the bed
So could I borrow yours, just only tonight?
She said she's sick and tired of all of my lies
When the bees started swarming, and stinging you up
In the eyes
I told my baby the night before
Don't come a-knocking on my front door
Screamin' quit your smokin', and quit your lying
Cause I'm gonna live until the day that I die
And I don't even remember baby
The last time I told you a lie

The Solopsist's Garden
05:25
|
|||
|
Sitting all alone inside my home
Waiting for a ghost to come along
And write my songs for me
Cause I am never there I don't know where my body
Goes when I'm alone
And walking somewhere else
There are birds and bees and tangerines
And lemon seeds inside of me
When I'm alive for too long
Dancing in the rain and holding brains
In their hands, eyes in their hands
Looking into where my skin was, red
As the backs of your eyelids
I'm in love with you smiling
When eyes fell onto mine
And how you picked them back up
Off my face and made love
To my hair with your hands
Why don't I understand?
Drinking from the bathwater,
Thinking of when I first saw her
I was crying every day
Living on my isolated island in the
Ocean sugar
Water in her eyes won't hurt her
Playing my guitar I made from parts
Of broken cars, and broken
Hearts I found in Coca-Cola
Sitting on the second story this is boring
Me to death, so let's take a rest
And remember to forget, the time
As the shape of your face
Made me all out of place
I've been hiding away from who I love
Which is some kind of drug
That they leave in your brain
When you babies are made
Well what if all I know is a game
Filled with faces all fake
And only trying to take, away from me
My only sense of being
Another human being

Sonoluminescence
02:55
|
|||
|
It's in the water, it's in my head
And there's something pushing me down
I don't care, and I don't know
It's upside down, and so is my mind
Feeling uneasy and I don't know why
I can't understand, why my third eye is blind
I'm feeling fine, I'm feeling
I'm okay
I'm insane
And it feels like nothing else
Is ever even there
And it stings
In my eyes
In the sun
It's in the water, it's in my head
Something wrong and there's something wrong with it
I don't know if I fit my skin
Is it so bad to wanna go outside
Is it so bad to wanna be high
When I'm feelin' fine
Then I don't wanna be high
Well what's wrong with prayer
What's wrong with meditation
What's wrong with the feelings
What's wrong with the medication
I sing and I meditate
I'm okay and it stings
And it stings, I'm okay, I'm insane
And it feels like nothing else ever compares
And it stings
And it rings in my ears it feels like I'm dyin'
I'm dyin' and crying
The sun

Love Tastes Like Stars
05:23
|
|||
|
If it tastes like it sounds like it tastes
What is sound but a thought anyways?
If it cannot be touched or be held
How can every note be felt?
How can I run my hands through your hair,
if I'm not there?
All the beetles are pink, red, and blue
Give them drugs and pianos to tune
Play a song with the birds and the bees
Making babies in heroin trees
Once this is done you'll have all you will need
But it's not free
All that i wanted was beautiful birds and bees
Mandolin candy and milk in your ovaries
You break the laws that I placed in menageries
Smelling of animals all that it meant to me

Nicotine Frog
01:53
|
|||
|
Sit in a room filled with moths, You'll get lost
Lost with a three-footed fetus and fox
We'll tear at your brain
Through a seven-inch box
Sit in a room filled with bees, they won't sting
Sting with a forty-faced frog who can sing,
And live in your lungs off of pure nicotine
Open the hole in your chest, and don't rest
Rest 'till the butterflies cease to exist
And place your left eye where the cardinals dance
I saw this morning in my cup of coffee
A man with three eyes who refused to say "Hi" to me

Milkcow's Calf Blues
04:07
|
|||
|
Tell me Milkcow, what on Earth is wrong with you?
You have a little milk calf honey, and your milk is turnin' blue
Your calf is hungry, I think he needs a suck
But your milk is turnin' blue, I believe he's outta luck
I feel like milkin' and my cow won't come
I feel like turnin' and my milk won't churn
Cryin' please please, please don't do me wrong
If you can old milk cow, baby now
Baby drive on home
My milkcow been ramblin', for miles around
Well she been troublin' some other bull cow,
Ooh in this man's town

Caffeine Bees
02:36
|
|||
|
I can't get off coffee and I can't get off of you
I'm in between countries and I just don't know what to do
Your eyes made me happy while everyone else made me scared
I can't help but breathing I'm sorry for feeding the air
My head ain't barely even screwed on
I haven't been eating for far too long
I'm always hungry but I'm never strong
I know something must be wrong
The children are minding and I'm memorizing the pace,
That your lungs are rising and I'm winning every race
There's moths in my mind so I guess that there must be a light
Your face is on fire and I'm coughing every night
Ask me again if i feel alright, Je suis tres bein, oh everything's bright
Now that I'm drinking all of the light, too bad it's raining outside.

Leaves
02:51
|
|||
|
The whole universe is clean,
The leaves are jumpin' around at my feet
It feels so good to breathe
There's water in my eyes and the air,
All the leaves are landing in my hair,
I really wish that you were there
And it's really kind of hard to see,
The sky drips into the trees
Rain falls onto my feet
I am not alone, because everything is alive
Alive and painting, grey and blue
Painted on my face,
It was such a peculiar taste
The frogs and bugs and planes
And everyone was touched,
And a million people fell in love
All the black leaves
In front of me
Were hangin' from the trees
And crawling all over me

Blue Bird Done Flying
02:34
|
|||
|
We built a home, We built a home
We built a build a baby
And we built a poem
Black hat and an umbrella,
Somebody should tell her
Where her baby's gone
Fingers all long and a
Blue disco
And blue organ
And his blue organs
Chest flowers in his
Red garden
All turned up sideways
And his burnt eyelids
And he can't see me if I
Come runnin' holdin'
Up my hand and
Setting fire to our
New home
Blue fingers and his
Blue bird and it's
Done flyin' and it's
Done flyin' and it's
Done flyin'

Wipe off the stains with the stains of your heartbeat
Pick up your brain when it rains on your bedsheets
Pull yourself together, every image is a piece
of what other people want you to be
Peel off the leaves on your feet in the springtime
And sing as the sting of the snow falls in your eyes
Look between your fingers at the eyes on your hands
You can play a guitar with those hands
Make a piece of art with those hands
Fall in love with me holding hands
Write a song with me holding hands
If there is never ever anything wrong,
With your life, life
You never have to worry
About mine

I miss the candles from when I was a kid,
And being swung in the air, each arm held by another
And hot chocolate
And lights in trees that look like psychedelic rainfall
And I never wanted to wear my coat
I didn't realize how thin I was back then
How thin I was back then

Sick And Tired
03:24
|

|
Oh baby let's talk about god
Baby conspiracy
Baby isn't this fun
Baby you're so pretty
Baby I need someone
Baby I need your advice
Baby isn't this fun
Baby isn't this nice
Baby Baby, oh no
Baby baby, I love you so
I tied myself, tied to being alone
I'm sick and tired, sick of being alone
I'm sick and tired, sick of being alone
I'm sick and tired, sick of being alone
Sick of being alone

She Don't Mind
03:13
|

|
She don't mind you pullin' her hair
She don't when you look and you stare
She don't mind you putting her down
She don't mind you sleeping around
She don't mind you staying out late
She don't mind you touching her face
She don't mind you coming home drunk
She don't mind you she's had enough
Yeah she don't mind
She don't like you talking like that
She don't like when you walking like that
She don't like you yelling all night
She don't like you getting in fights
She don't like that look on your face
She don't want you in her place
She don't want you in her house
Now she's fed up and kicking you out
Yeah she don't like
When you treat her like that
When you pull her hair
When you look and you stare
When you puttin' her down
When you sleepin' around
When you stay out late
When you touchin' her face
When you coming home drunk
She's had enough

You put pieces of my heart inside your shoes
Outside someone started tearing up the news
All the apple seeds were blue
All the flowers need to bloom
Sun is silent someone whispering to you
Plug in every cord you need to make it move
Make the shape of something new
I hope that's not too much for you to do
I'm watching deer run down my road
I'm not the only one that's cold
Who's bathing in the garden hose
I'm washing mud out of my clothes

Write a referral, write me a fine
Preacher, Preacher, tell me a lie
Teacher, Teacher, all of the time
All of the time
Tell me a lie
Keep me in line
Teacher, Teacher, keep me in line
Write a referral, write me a fine
Dear sir or madam, could you write me up
Teacher, Teacher, have you had enough?
Have you had enough?

Lemons, and tulips, and peaches and,
Two eyes and tulips against my hand
Someone is selling you ecstasy
That's made from the milk of a honey bee
Waiting in lines, all of the time
Choking on vines, paying them fines
Making believe, mother will leave, tonight
Eyes are off and cords are on,
Mine is soft and yours is strong
Staring at the centipedes and
Sharing all the lack of sleep
Your face is made of a continued line
It curves around and slips into a smile
Such a complex shape, that somebody made
When you were just a lake
Chewing on a butterfly
Watching all your brothers die
Drinking maple syrup and
Watch the table burning man
You're full of silver and I'm full of lives
Printed on the paper developed in the wine
When the babies come up from the basement
And the garden snakes makelove in gardens
With the sun and getting wet and muddy
She just laughed and thought it funny
Push your fingers in the grass
Pray to god the rain will last
Tiptoe into Aine's garden
Go to sleep, a war is starting
She's full of sugar and I'm full of lies
Printed on the paper developed in the wine

She is mine until the sun shines
She will shine and I will too
She is mine until the daylight
It is mine to spend and use
All the other people
All smell like gasoline
All the other people
Frogs are jumpin
And it's not very nice, to reply in that way,
And I hope that you know, I am so far away,
But it's nice to remember, oh every time
That you and I were kind
She is made of seven species
I am only made of five
Her lips get pulled up sideways
i love to see her smile
All the other people
Will tear away the bedsheets
All the other people
Will tear apart her human being
And it's not very nice, to imply any way
That the sun isn't mine, if it's all I can see
But it's nice to remember, every time
That you and I were blind
I am turned into a table,
And I can't walk up the staires
So until I think I'm able,
I am staring in the mirror all night
All the other people
probably look different than my
My direction of reflection
And how it's related to her eyes
And it's not very fair, that you aren't as aware
That your hand fell on mine, and your hand in my hair
Made me scream on the inside, every night
Until my lungs were tied
She doesn't know I want her
She's pushin' her fingers in my eyes
She is made of water
She said she liked my sweater
She is mine until the sun shines

The Mess You Made
02:15
|
|||
|
You put sugar in your milk
And stirred it up
And spat it back out
Right onto the floor,
Right onto the ground
And listened to hummingbirds flying around
Ants having parades
In the mess you made
Take it back to the beach
Take it out to the shade
We could sit between trees,
Red, yellow, and green
The lights on your face
Dripping down from the lake
And they could still taste
The mess you made
You wrote letters to your friends,
You said you'd never fall in love, oh no never again
You're satisfied with lies, and playing pretend
And living inside, and making friends
With the deer you though that you had met

They put drugs in everything
A three footed fetus is all that it takes
They pick flowers with poison
We all share one sick set of skin
