Children Levitate
03:23
|

children levitate,
sip on lemonade,
ride the night train,
spider dance again,
weird child, you got a junky eye,
run wild, borrow it from the sky.
children levitate,
what's that thing you made?
got fur and pennies
come on dance with me awhile,
you got the hungry eye,
carry the bunny to be free.
children levitate,
hop the night train,
catch the city,
wailing wide awake child,
you got no shangra la
run wild, carry the sunny star
and go free.
children levitate,
sip on lemonade,
who owns the sky?
come and dance with I awhile,
you got a hungry heart,
go wild,
there is a chaos in your heart,
be free.

Stop Time
03:16
|

goddamn, what went wrong,
I half thought you were the one,
after all my crying's done,
I half thought you'd bury the sun,
no doubt about it,
you broke my idiot heart.
I walked into the burning sun,
the shadow of fire gone,
hush now, we're on clouds,
I half thought they'd help us out,
no doubt about it,
you broke my idiot heart.
I'm your waste of time,
stop time, stop time.
goddamn, what went wrong,
I shot through the hellfire sun,
not a soul in love,
gaze in, the shimmer gone,
no doubt about it,
you broke my idiot heart.
I'm your waste of time,
stop time, stop time.

Shore
02:48
|

up on the north shore,
down on the south shore,
we wanna go where the cool wind blows,
down on my luck now,
I find you somehow,
get me out of the city,
we wanna go,
we wanna go,
we wanna go,
we wanna go,
taking the train to singing beach,
riding the bikes down to the cape.
down on the south shore,
up on the north shore,
the ocean seemed so shallow,
told me your bad dreams,
the sea gives us good ones,
open your book too,
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know,
can you live with contradiction,
what's with all these kids never in love,
never in love...
up on the north shore,
hey man, this is the south shore,
oh whatever at least we're
free and gone
free and gone
free and gone
free and gone,
she will never say
what you want to hear
if you need my I
with be right underwater,
i'll be right under there,
be right under there...

with another earthly tick,
an iceberg dips into the sea,
and all us in this room
are filled with electricity,
having fun with your new head
must make you a pioneer of west
it's in the light
it's in your mind
it's in the gentle and the kind
and those busy building bricks
so we can stand up high to see
they're not just a bunch of pricks
acting sentimentally
having fun with your new head
must make you a pioneer of the west
it's in the light
it's in the mind
it's in the gentle and the kind

Heart of Sequoia
02:36
|
|||
heart of sequoia
heart of Jurassic
caught in the moment
open arms to the riot
Kilimanjaro
carries wise wilderness
roaming alone
as far as you can take me
heart of sequoia
drive my car right through ya
heart of sequoia
looking for a place to be
heart of sequoia
all I could do for a day or two
was play dead
play dead
heart of sequoia
for a thousand years
playing with shadows
a drop in the ocean
Kilimanjaro
carries fire from the cave
water from the furthest
corner of outer space
heart of sequoia
drive my car right through ya
heart of sequoia
looking for the silent sea to woo me
heart of sequoia
all I could do for a day or two
was play dead
play dead

Gravity
04:05
|
|||
oh i'm not the only one
who kicks himself when he's down
and doesn't know which way to go
home
I had this vision of you going
do-wa-ditty-wa-do
I didn't like it
I changed my name
and I lit the fuse
I started feeling gravity
I hated it right away
think I better find myself
a place up in outer space
oh you picked me up by my shoes
and dipped me in a volcano
stuck me in a rocket
and lit the fuse
I packed some new undies
I packed my new Ringo shampoo
these are things I got
to impress you
everything's gone black to me
you're glowing in the dark
sucks that friggin' outer space
is so damn far
oh you ripped off the heart
I've been wearing on my sleeve
i'm always getting tossed around
by Jeff Breeze
everyone is standing still
it's okay, it ain't a dance song
maybe every word we've sung is
wrong
started feeling gravity
hated it right away
think I better find a place
up in outerspace

Cats That Kill
02:47
|

ooo don't you want to come back
ooo don't you want to come to me
I don't wanna be so still
let's go too fast like we're cats that kill
ooo don't you know what you do
ooo don't you know what you can do
we don't punch, we only push
we don't punch, we only push
we don't punch, we only push
ooo don't you wanna come back
ooo don't you wanna come to me
I don't wanna be so still

sitting on top of a horse
as the wind blows
looking in peoples windows
see the twinkling faces
that's the way it is
out on a city street
walk on water
river stones are rolling over
that's the one that got away
it is
it's the heart of the insanity
there ain't no way to break it
sitting on top of horse
drinking cocoa
looking in peoples windows
see the shimmering tears
go down the face
out in a haunted wood
dream of flying
writing fucked up dreams
out long hand
why do the wood nymphs tell you
that's the way it is
it's the heart of the insanity
there ain't no way to break it
oh no

Makeshift Facelift
05:05
|
|||
your hand drawn pixilation
I hear it's how you learned to see
I make a space station
from objects I find in the street
and send it back to you
traveling off the landscape
captured by the wrong feeling
still life is more my thing
you can really let your teeth sink in
I give it back to you
I give it back to you
all the art made wrong
(ain't nothing like the real thing)
a cut out pop up song
(ain't nothing like the real thing)
you won't find what you're looking for
you won't find what you're looking for
I got a pretty basic
makeshift facelift
some call it superego
I said, let go of my ego
give it back to me
they say there's a secret apartment
out at the edge of earth
I'd like to check it out
you go in, and you never get out
you won't come back to me
you won't come back to me
all the art made wrong
(ain't nothing like the wrong thing)
a cut out pop up song
(ain't nothing like the wrong thing)
you won't find what you're looking for
you won't find what you're looking for
call out the knuckleheads
sleep with me under the bed
they're right to call us the strange ones
we chew up television
send it back to you
send it back to you
all the art made wrong
(ain't nothing like the real thing)
a cut out pop up song
(ain't nothing like the real thing)
you won't find what you're looking for
you won't find what you're looking for

Mr. Mojo
02:59
|
|||
keep bringing
the bad mojo
all the strange ones
they gotta go
they don't wanna be around you
they don't wanna be around
i'm a speed of light skeleton
got it down to 33 rpm
the skeleton is smiling
in my direction
says i'm looking handsome
can he take me out?
well that's some bad bad mojo
(it's ok)
I got some bad bad bad mojo
(it's alright)
a lighthearted
tragic ending
the beat is happening
with heart ripped out
the twilight zone is happening
have a look around
tell me can you lose
what it is you found
well that's some bad bad mojo
you got some bad bad bad mojo...

Piano Skate Along

the world ain't over
open the window
talk it over
let all the birds go
you look too nice
for the apocalypse
can't take my eyes
off of the curve of
your lips
your touch is gold
bury the shadow
out in the garden
light up a fire
bring all the cats in
you look too good
for the end of the world
don't want you feeling
left out in the bite of the cold
your touch is all
I've ever known

Just Fussin'
04:47
|
|||
you can take your hard times
when the dust won't clear
when your mind and body become
disconnected
look out look out
i'm falling from the sky
maybe it's just me fussin
maybe everything is alright
i'm so mad
I can't see straight
guess that crying wolf boy baby was
probably right
reach out reach out
catch me if you can
maybe it's just me fussin
maybe I just ain't gunna ever land
what can it mean
when you start to think
you can solve your problems
with wishes and gunfire
look out look
don't know what you found
maybe it's just me fussin
maybe it's a mental shakedown
breakdown baby
i'm so mad
I can't talk good
if you got all the answers tell me
why are you still in bed
reach out reach out
people ain't no good
maybe it's just me fussin
maybe there's a clear
path through the woods
invisible to me
invisible to me
invisible to me
invisible to me
i'm so mad
I can't think right
I stopped counting my days
just to pass the time
reach out reach out
might just float away
maybe it's just me fussin
maybe there's a dip in gravity

What
02:12
|
|||
what can I do?
what can I say?
if we go for walk
to the find the definition
then we talk
do you say what you mean?
well that's the question
what do you know?
how could it be?
if you want
such a terrible thing
I can't explain the difference
it haunts
night and day
I keep asking the question
what can I do?
what can I say?

Electric Shine
02:33
|
|||
electric shine run away with me
I belong in the arms of the sea
somewhere out there
not too far, but alone
electric shine oh me oh my
I could sleep til the end of time
wake me up when the sun ain't lit up
in the sky
put your arms around me
on a see-through wave
let me feel you
passing through the grave
electric shine calls out to me
but i'm stuck at the edge of the sea
caught by a diamond oblivion
electric shine in the way you walk
electric shine gives me fatal shock
if I hear you voice in the wind
i'll be dead
I hear your voice in the wind
on live electricity
let me feel you
make believe in the wind

Lay Down
04:24
|
|||
if the hills are too high
to go over or around
let's just sleep here tonight
just one sound
I need to know your breath is still
moving in and out
all I have are my empty hands
and i'm giving them to you
oh, I wanna lay down
baby wanna lay down
I wanna lay down
baby wanna lay down
come here inside
the darkness that
you don't know
what it's going to be
I could only get to where you are
and I could tell you how I want it to be
oh, I wanna lay down
baby wanna lay down
I wanna lay down
baby wanna lay down

Glitterboy
04:09
|

glitterboy saw her
swallowed up by the clawfoot tub
he pulled the curtain
she wore no dress
no eye shadow
the darkness made her glow
it smelled like lemon soap
she said, what's wrong with you
they started going out
saw sonny and the sunsets
he danced around
a dance she called the bazooka
they wrote to each other
and rode north to the sea
life was too sweet
it can't last forever
fast forward five years
he goes to check out tim presley
starts talking to a girl
her yelling whispers feel like magic
he says he's had too much
Japanese whisky
she buys him nice shit
it gets complicated
some truth some fiction in his head
no consolation
that he didn't lie to himself
the truth can feel like hell
he thinks of the big picture
going on forever
it can't last forever

I'm in a funny state of mind
i'm in a funny state of mind
I think of dying all the time
i'm in a funny state of mind
well I can't stop laughing
what do I do
I got the skeleton blues
oh no oh no
I caught a glimpse of the wicked world
if you can't stop laughing
you might have the blues,
skeleton blues
it's a strange kind of thinking man
it's a strange kind of thinking man
he goes dancing with the skeleton
it's a strange kind of thinking man
well I can't stop dancing
what do I do
I dance the skeleton blues
oh no oh no
I fell in love with the wicked world
if you can't stop dancing
you might have the blues
skeleton blues
well it's an odd kinda world to me
yeah it's an odd kind world to me
designed by child on LSD
it's an odd kind of world to me
tripping balls walking down the street
skeleton following me
oh no oh no
I fell in love with the beautiful world
if you can't stop tripping
you might have the blues
skeleton blues

Nude Woodcut
03:25
|
|||
I half thought
the sad step
would thundering
it's crossed out heart
I know how it goes
freaked out
voices over
cinema
it all came undone
the connection
hello
i'm climbing on
soundscapes
postcards
this action
cannot be undone
the connection
found but then it's gone.
run away
to pink green gold cities
a light
with an X through it
twinkles
burn it up radio
she came to be alone
the connection
hello again
a half thought again
she always liked best
the nude woodcuts
the connection found
but then it's lost.

the wrong the feeling
ain't there a woman so alone
so please
baby please
don't you look at me
like you're sorry
baby please
oh please
don't you love me
cause I can't help you
in your last goodbye
there'll be no goodnight
that was your hand
I was reaching for
now you let it go
I ain't got what you need
just a long last goodbye
so please
baby please
don't you look at me
like you're sorry
baby please
oh please
don't you love me
cause I can't help you
