Hard Down in This Hole
03:59
|
|||
“Oh it’s hard down in this hole.”
Said the rabbit to the toad
“It ain’t nothing like it seems
Like the rabbit in your dreams.”
“Yeah, I know just what you mean.”
Chorus:
No one ever tells you
No one ever tells you
To smile at your loss
Cuz each one brings
Another toss
Of the coin
You’re the one who changed my world
You’re the one who changed my world
“Well I’ve got warts upon my back.
And today I got attacked
By my lily pad
And try to spend all day
Eating flies
Lord my mouth is f*****g dry.”
Chorus:
No one ever tells you
No one ever tells you
To smile at your loss
Cuz each one brings
Another toss
Of the coin
You’re the one who changed my world
You’re the one who changed my world

American Astronaut
03:25
|

You’re the American Astronaut
You can shoot me to the moon
You’re black and white and leather bound
I smell the jet-flame fuel and feel your heartbeat pound
Chorus:
And the only sounds out here
Are fearless notes
And tearless nights
We’ve left the ground, we’re almost out of sight.
Strap me in and make your rocket fly.
We won’t come back till all the wrong we’ve done is right.
Hot night. Space bar fight.
The only rule is you can’t bite.
Empty glasses, loaded glances.
Won’t you take me now to Mars?
Cuz we’ve already come so far
Chorus:
And the only sounds out here
Are fearless notes
And tearless nights
We’ve left the ground, we’re almost out of sight.
Strap me in and make this rocket fly.
We won’t come back till all the wrong we’ve done is right.
You’re the American Astronaut
You can shoot me to the moon.

Psyche and Eros
03:06

My breath below
My heart above
The head knows not
What the Soul speaks of
So goodbye my dove, goodbye.
Chorus:
Goodbye, goodbye
My sweet, my light
I'm at your feet
While you're at flight
Even when the sun has set
It lights up the moon
All the while that you are gone
You will still hear this tune.
Chorus:
Goodbye, goodbye
My sweet, my light
I'm at your feet
While you're at flight
Goodbye, goodbye
My sweet, my light
I'm at your feet
While you're at flight
If you come back
I promise to show
My heart above
My breath below
Goodbye my friend, my song
Chorus:
Goodbye my love
My sweet, my light
I'm at your feet
While you're at flight
Goodbye, goodbye
My sweet, my light
I'm at your feet
Why are you at flight?

Maybe
03:16
|
|||
Maybe you’re Adam
Maybe you’re Eve
Maybe I’m your downfall
Sometimes it seems
There’s too much sin
But kindness always
wins
Maybe I’m poker-chips
Maybe I’m dice
Maybe you’re my jackpot
Maybe a vice
Gamblers may lose
But luck always
is near
Maybe I’m water
Maybe I’m dirt
Maybe you’re my sunshine
For whatever it’s worth
Romantics may lose
But love is something
You choose
Don’t disappear
Love always
is here

Enormous Yes
02:22
|
|||
“On me your voice falls as they say love should,
Like an enormous Yes.” (P. Larkin)
“Your love doesn’t know its majesty
Until it knows its helplessness.” (Rumi)
Don’t be afraid, come away with me
Pocket of dreams, starlight and glitter
The feeling’s in me. It was there all along
It’s got nothing to do with you
And I want you
You’re a dream, you’re a dream, you’re a dream
I don’t need you
Things are not what they seem
You’re afraid, you’re afraid, you’re afraid
Stop pouring your fears into me
Go away, go away, go away
Till you can be fully here with me
We’re the same, we’re the same, we’re the same
Stop playing a game with me
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame
Cuz I know you’re in love with me
“On me your voice falls as they say love should,
Like an enormous Yes.” (P. Larkin)

Big Bang
04:49
|

blue-green vase
candle light
cloudy night
flame flickers
neighbors bicker
wax drips
shadow on the wall
trying to recall
concentric rings
in and out
dancing
--------
disappearing
and they do
always
just disappear
disappear
hollow vs. shallow
faded hand
faded man
sea-foam colored trees
crying leaves
they're more use to the dirt
and the ground consoles with spring
Big Bang
cosmic flames
black hole
--------
gravity
hydrogen
when did time begin?
will we still be friends?
electrons
protons
particles and waves
--------
crystalline days
subatomic quarks
magnetic force
E=mc2
what's the score?
what's it for?
don't you need me anymore?
--------
heart sore
heart tore
won't I see you anymore?

Sorry for the Way
05:21
|
|||
When you were young
You cried all the way to school
Mom said some people are cruel
They’re frauds and they’re fools
But darlin’ don’t let that stop you
Now, you’re like the dawn
You’re here
And then you’re gone
You’re like a star
you’re so far away.
Chorus:
And I’m sorry for the way
People treated you today
It’s not right I’ll tell them so
We’ve got such a long way to go
Now you slip past my smile
Wrap yourself in arms of jewels
Wishing they were arms
Of someone who could save you
Oh I wish I could save you
Chorus:
And I’m sorry for the way
People treated you today
It’s not right I’ll tell them so
We’ve got such a long way to go
We stood in No Regrets Hotel
Across from Farewell Angelina Café
Baby, love will save the day
But first you gotta get out of its way
And the rainbow’s end has no gold
It’s made of stuff that can’t be sold
Still you’ve been looking for so long
For something to believe in
Oh I wish you could believe in me
Chorus:
And I’m sorry for the way
People treated you today
It’s not right I’ll tell them so
We’ve got such a long way to go

Easy
02:57
|
|||
You wasted all my time but not my love
I may not be your speed, but I’m still your dove
Nothing’s lost that rises above
Try to tell me your heart didn’t soar
When I rode you on my wing, singin’ us through the downpour
They say men love you if you’re hard to get
But my heart’s on my sleeve and I bet you won’t forget
How I melted yours and swam through it
like a deep deep deep deep pool
I may be easy but I’m no fool.

Cosmic Altar
04:01
|
|||
Sunrise walk to the railroad station
Broken tracks to the next destination
Waiting’s not a game for the fragile at heart
It’s for those who like to gamble
And need fodder for their art.
And you don’t have to wait for me
You don’t have to wait for me
You don’t have to wait for me
I love you so I set you free
Blue-green sky and the pearl-gray sea
Tell the story of
disappearing me
I don’t have to wait for you
I don’t have to wait for you
I don’t have to wait for you
Sticky things and crazy glue
They can hold stuff down but they can’t hold you through
Dark nights of the soul
Contemplating what you’re due
We don’t have to wait for us
We don’t have to wait for us
We don’t have to wait for us
But I’m still not hopping on that crowded bus
Of jaded souls and non-believers
I’m a proud and heavy dreamer
We may not wait, but we won’t falter
I’ll meet you at the Cosmic Altar

Unicorn Scars
04:33
|

Radiohead played by the bed
And you mouthed, “I’ve given all I can. It’s not enough.”
You shine like a crescent moon
Chorus:
Unicorn scars
You gave them to me
Unicorn scars
It’s a long story
Unicorn scars
I think I’m ready
Gainsbourg played on tape cassette
While we shared a cigarette
You don’t want to give up anything
Chorus:
But unicorn scars
You gave them to me
Unicorn scars
It’s a long story
Unicorn scars
I think I’m ready
Unicorn scars
To forgive you
I forgive you
I forgive you

Liquid Sound
04:29
|
|||
I hung around too long
After all the other girls had gone
But your strings cast a spell
In your harmonic web I fell
Maybe I’m the fool
Betray me like your sacred prostitute
I’ll be a martyr to your muse
I’ll give you something to lose
Just take me in your hold
I’ll do whatever I am told
You can divide me up in parts
Because feet won’t break your heart
I’ve been in your shoes
A twisted knot that glues you to
The hundred-thousand views
Not knowing which to choose
Take the door that you don’t know
Past liquid sorrow and foe
There’s no choice that can be wrong
Ugly-pretty is still a song
And either way I’ll sing for you
And liquid sound will river you
Either way I’ll sing for you
And liquid sound will river you
