"El Rito"

"El Rito"


Dale que toma, toma que dale
baila que se marchen las mañanas
asi el mes de abril.
Dia a desagua la madrugada,
a los 4 vientos de zarpada,
que bien te sienta asi.
Bailaras (bailara), saltaras esa hoguera que aparece
en tus ojos encendidos por un rito asi

Dale que toma, toma que dale
todos los acertijos son iguales,
pero este no es asi.
Martes y 13, 14 Y EFE tocan los tambores en la calle
Noviembre no es asi.

Bailara (bailara) saltaras esa hoguera que aparece
en tus ojos encendidos por un rito asi.
Bailaras saltaras esa hoguera que aparece
en tus ojos encendidos por ritos asi.

Dale que toma, toma que dale,
ya viene el vieto fresco de la tarde,
ya hueles en ti,
Que dia es hoy que dia es mañana te respondere con un abrazo,
por otro rito asi.

"English Music"

"English Music"


Soldier, you got to get out more
There is life after property
Everyone has got a finder's fee
Find something difficult to do and do it

Write your english music
Write your english music
Write your english music
Run free

She tasted of the Christmas wines and said
"So many things have run through me.
I know the altar boys, they just wanna do me and that's fine.
You got to have faith. Yeah, you got to have it."

Once again, it's a quarter-to-three by Ambleside-by-the-Sea
And something's telling you boy, it's time to take sides
And something's telling you boy, it's time to take sides
And something's telling you boy, it's time to take sides

And write your English Music
Though you know it will come to no good
When brilliance has a taste for suffering
And you're softer than the western world

"European Oils"

"European Oils"


I made a tomb for all the incompatible cells I could take,
And I brought bells to the wake.
And you... you didn't mind shedding your beautiful European blood
As I screamed: "death to the murderers we've loved all our lives!"

I was good with names, I had a way with faces
And I was the dominant theme in a number of places.
And you... you didn't mind... mixing your beautiful European oils
For a still life. Oh Candice, we should've run for our lives!

When I'm at war I insist on a slaughter,
And getting it on with the hangman's daughter.
She needs release. She needs to feel at ease with her father,
The fucking maniac.

I made a tomb for all the incompatible cells I could take,
And I brought bells to the wake. And you...
you didn't mind shedding your beautiful European blood
As I screamed: "death to the murderers we've loved all our lives!"

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I wanted you, I wanted these treasures, too.

"Farrar, Straus And Giroux (Sea Of Tears)"

"Farrar, Straus And Giroux (Sea Of Tears)"


It was back amongst the living
Your smile was giving me a thrill
Enough to come so close to closing the deal
The steal of a century
A century stolen from our hearts to a house on the hill

But if that is what it takes
If that is what it takes
If that is what it takes
To be a stone, a stone's throw from your throne
No man has ever hung from the rafters of a second home
No man has ever hung from the rafters of a second home

It's true
I needed you more back when I was poor
The wealthy dowager, the patroness, she guessed it
The answer wasn't yes

But her maxims were fine
The ethos that flew about her mind
Like swallows in search of a burned-down bell tower church

But if that is what it takes
If that is what it takes
If that is what it takes
To be a stone, a stone's throw from your throne
No man has ever hung at the temporary age of 24
Both feet on the floor

Listening to the bonafide stasis of sound
The eaves dripping yesterday's
Ill-timed August rain
If there is such a thing as ill-timed August rain

"Foam Hands"

"Foam Hands"


True love regrets to inform you
There are certain things you must do
to perceive his face In the stains on the wall

I didn't know what time it was at all
I didn't know what time it was at all

Foam hands

Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Me and the King have been steadily growing apart
He lives down the hall

I didn't know what time it was at all
I didn't know what time it was at all

Foam hands

I'm not the kind
To tell you what is true
And what is totally out of control

I didn't know what time it was at all
I didn't know what time it was at all

Foam hands
Foam hands
Foam hands
Foam hands

"Forces From Above"

"Forces From Above"


Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above love the caps of the world
Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above, wish you were here, we think the world of you

I tried to follow the lines to the letter
I was in love with you and your sweater
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progressed like a song
But forces from above

I got paid and then I wrote a song
I got paid and then I rode a song into the heavens

Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum

I tried to follow the lines to the letter
On her deathbed, she said, "I hope you get better"
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progresses like a song into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens

"Forget America"

"Forget America"


When will you forget about America
When will you forget about America
Resist, resist
Someone got kissed
Someone's getting kissed

An afterbirth too red to mention
This isn't New York, you drunken Californian

Resist, resist
How can I kill the president now
With the likes of you
Saying everything is true
If everything is true then everything is true

Power to the people, my boys

"From Oakland To Warsaw"

"From Oakland To Warsaw"


You lost your serve.
You lost your swing.
You thought you'd heard
Of everything... Hell, no!

From Oakland
To Warsaw,
Don't you know the kids were all a-wrong.
Raise their voices in song -
Air comes out! Air comes out!

I know your style. You've got drastic desires, and shit.
Warm yourself by the fiery stage - fiery cause I lit it.

You lost your serve.
You lost your swing.
You thought you'd heard
Of everything... Hell, no!

"Girl In A Sling"

"Girl In A Sling"


Two stars
Three stars
The night sky above
Used to mean everything
To horses in love
Girl in a sling

How come
Your eyes come
In and out of focus
In the park all alone?
Early spring
Girl in a sling

[x2]
I've been sifting through these remains for years
Bitter tears, bitter pills
Oh, it sucks when there's nothing but gold in those hills
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too

I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there

"Goddess Of Drought"

"Goddess Of Drought"


My work was a sham, your work was a sham...
I took a bribe, you took a bribe...
And let them insult your body with fineries and silken things...
How could you not have known you wouldn't need those rings for the scene,
When it's called "Goddess of Drought Figures Us Out"?

I was looking good on the day that you fell for the way I looked...
The day your beauty became a sign of something more than a beautiful sign...
But now someone had better bless this meal before someone gets sick off of what they didn't kill
And the Goddess of Drought figures us out...

I can tell you want peace...
Oh I can tell you've been looking for a union...
I have seen it in your eyes...
