Parlour Tricks
03:11
|
|||
I have body parts not connected
sleepy or otherwise
sometimes attention waivers
do something new
something you
not like before
with the wooden smiles and given clothes
propped up like a president
parlour tricks for fun
what is it is I do
or not do to you
that makes you cry
or curl up to die
I know a place where space is no issue
where hopeful is happy
and stars are like tissues
reminders you once knew
this is my time spent with you

Any Sweeter
02:48
|
|||
If you were and sweeter
they'd cut you out
like the frogs in the river
that sunk the boats
people said they were blind
and giant in the night
with stars and moonlight
people would drown
some saw shadows
turn boats over in the dark
Isn't it right tonight
It's the same light tonight
It's almost creepy
how you looked that day
a moment in time
and the picture fades
now grown, looking back
you feel the same way
Something like that day
It's the same light today

Bring it in Slow
02:53
|
|||
The days come and find us
our hearts live in the woods
marked by trees
tall and lovely
barely branches you could reach
I can see the appeal now
Bring it in slow
It's the end of summer bottoms
who told you you are able
to see the streetcar cables
and breathe the stale, fresh air
something comes between us
place it here
bring it in slow
I must pause with out a friend
I'm drowning in love
Before my feet could reach
fades with the best of me
my arms make the most of it
a love I wont regret

Radio Love
04:06
|
|||
Who are you?
drifting too?
a sea of consciousness
together we find it
Like before, inside we have it
grab it
Right to qualify
can't be satisfied
all the rules inside
and the mixed reviews
Show them to me
flowing through me
Radio Love
There's something to be said for consciousness
and dreams have brought the future
in our minds we are the same kind
when it is right we will feel it every day

Out of Sight
03:58
|
|||
Never mind the unkind things she said
running through his head
eyes a soft grey hush
come over to my bed
maybe her hair was red, was blonde
or was she brunette?
never was she anything
but everything he needed just then, just then
flowing through his body,
hoping for a piece
a peaceful greeting, merely a kiss
as if to say 'yes bliss'
overnight she will make it right
see you soon he said to her
she knew he'd sail away
the laughed together in his eyes
I watched them through the blinds
just them, just then, just them
i see them alone

The Moon
03:33
|
|||
She'd always been to honest
she lied before she spoke
no one knew too much of her
at least that they could hope
everything predictable
in step for her own time
windows, mirrors shaped in rhyme
she wakes up in the afternoon
it's still too soon
wishes she could be the moon
it's everywhere she's been
and she saw the witches too
they followed her around
to make sure she would hollow out a hole with in the ground
it'll take you down
the colors were magnificent
feathers floating by
colors ripe, a seagulls night
pinks, reds to make you cry
colors that are everywhere
the edge of something light

Soledad
03:15
|
|||
The fellas I used to wish for
even with the best before me
and I can't tell you why
only loneliness cries that way
There's a word that i've heard of
it means what i'm trying to say
it's in another language
only loneliness cries that way
so tell us when to win
and take me home again
and make it all pretend that
we don't love you
the moments I used to wish for
even dreamed about
i never said them out loud

Cadbury Egg
02:53
|
|||
You make me so mad
you make me so mad
crushed like a cadbury egg
insides oozing out for everyone to see
how delicate a chocolate egg can be
you left me alone and you never listen
you already know this is it
so i keep it inside
taped back together
but everyone sees the cracks
hiding the good stuff
darling wont you take me back
you left me alone and you never listen
it's important to know this is it
I'm melting away when I hear what you say
you know you can't take it back
I gave you my lovin
and baby you just make me sad

Lucky Girl
02:50
|
|||
I'm coming across all wrong
I laugh but sing sad songs
sometimes I talk too much
I know I'm out of touch
But I am a lucky girl
who loses herself in other worlds
the fact that I mention them
shows a lack of determination
Feels like I make mistakes
In the things I say
or maybe it's what I think
or is it just from drinkin
I try to get used to life
windows show the other side
shadows of another world
all the boys and girls

The Waltz
02:30
|
|||
I better not
although it haunts me
you see the truth I can't
please bring me sodas
or whatever I need when I'm hungover
Again
a word or two seems plenty
don't make me come over there
I'm sorry I tore your sweater
and messed up your hair
my friend
no matter what, we live on
in rooms and warm showers
when i see a memory
I feel it for hours
like then

I Need Your Love
03:44
|
|||
who's gonna look out for you?
I've done it before
something in return
I'm not supposed to say
I've lifted, I've searched
haven't found very much
people need love
when it won't touch them
the heart beats so fast
it never lasts
there's a princess on the pillow
my mind is somewhere else
swells with the thoughts of maybe
and gives me no rest
who's gonna make sense of it?
you know I can't
things are leaking in
people need love
i need your love
