"Can't Help But Smiling"

"Can't Help But Smiling"


Mama ain't it wild when
You can't help but smiling
What fun to not know why
We're lost in the only thing
Truly worth getting lost in
It's so nice to think you're alone
And to look up and see a home

Mama ain't it wild when
You can't help but smiling
Mama ain't it wild when
You can't help but smiling

You can't help but smiling
You can't help but smiling
You can't help but smiling

Don't the flowers at your feet smell sweet
Well they sure smell sweet to me
And don't the moon way up high shine bright
Well it sure shines bright to me
And don't the water on your lips feel good
Well it sure feels good to me
And don't the lips on your lips feel good
Well they sure feel good to me...

"Carmensita"


Ay tu primo colorado
Con barba camburada
Y lleno de ballena
Inclinadose al sol
Ay tu rayo de luz roja
Besando nuestra boca
El beso que te sopla
Sabe a Pampero
Ay tus tres ojos lunares
Extraterrestriales
Entran quando sales
Por eso no se ven
Ay tu barba colorada
Traviesa y rebelde
Me afeito con espada
Pero devuelve
La la la la la la...
Si la noche te persigue
Entrégate a ella
O dile que tienes dolor de cabeza
Sombrita de reflejo
Dame algo tierno
Me como tu amor
Y cago el infierno
Adio, adio, adio
Primo granje
Hola Bernardo...
La la la la la la la...
Ay tus ojos colorados
Azul y anaranjados
Amarillo verde y marrón
Mi amor envuelto en tu corazón
No lo sueltes por favor
Somos elefante y serpiente semejante
Tomando aguardiente
En el sol
De una flor...
La la la la la la la...

"Catastrophie"


Catastrophy, imments the sea in sound
Spend a day by the beach and swimming around.

Marigold, sunrays to unfold and frown
Spit past the cracks and the cataracks in sound.

"Chin Chin & Muck Muck"

"Chin Chin & Muck Muck"


When I was a young boy
I had a lot of young boys
And we taught each other dearly how to love
Oh dearly how to love

Now that I'm an old hag
All I got's are things that sag
But it really ain't so bad
No it really ain't so bad

Look at the neighbors with their long blonde hair
Makin' their money at the Renaissance fair
They live under your dress in a massengilic mess
Singin' klang bang wang
I swear

The neighbors will hear you
The neighbors will hear you
The neighbors will hear you
The neighbors will hear you

A glass eye tends to the garden in your breast singin'
Mama you’re a dog too dull to bite
My love's central sun
Hides her bells in emptiness
I hung the hangman
And I ain't afraid to fight

But he's gonna get me
He's gonna get me
He won't forget me
He's gonna get me

Well steal my face I do declare
This might be a start of a new affair
I'm gonna braid exotic birds in your hair
How can I tell
'Cause I see wildfire everywhere

[?]

All my thoughts are hairs
On a wild wild boar
Runnin' slowly down the lilac slope
We're tryin' not to scare
The sweet prairie hogs
As we descend on them like vultures through the fog
We're vulpinous vultures
We're elegant armchairs
We're vulpinous vultures
Give heals time to wound as we lazily spoon
Bend me over bend me back my bow
And take a little sniff
And I'll grant you every wish
Glue my belly to your gibbous rainbow

Yeah if I lived in Oakland, they'd still be Chinese children
Oh if I was an Injun yeah, if I was an Injun, uh huh

"Cosmos And Damien"

"Cosmos And Damien"


I've never told this story to another living soul
For fear it might awaken and the story would unfold
Candles in a courtyard
And a paper colored cat
While demos danced on feathers
And cosmos held the hat
Next came their profession
And a paper colored purr
And umber armed albino
And the crowd began to stir
I slid behind a linden
To swallow what I'd seen
I slid behind a linden
To swallow what I'd seen
Threads of grass and thimbles
Needles made of hair
Weaves a dance that stumbles
Limbs laughed in the air
Threads of grass and thimbles
Needles made of hair
Weaves a dance that stumbles
Limbs laughed in the air
And on the day you fall
Who's name would you call
The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know
How to start a fire once the embers cease to glow
The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know
How to start a fire once the embers cease to glow

While demos danced on feathers and cosmos held the hat

Next came their profession and a paper colored purr
An umber armed albino and the crowd began to stir
I slid behind a linden to swallow what I'd seen
I slid behind a linden and to swallow what I'd seen

Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair
Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air
Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair
Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air

And on the day you fall, whose name would you call
The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know
How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow
The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know
How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow

"Cripple Crow"

"Cripple Crow"


When they come from the over the mountain
Yeah we'll run we'll run right around them
We've got no guns no we don't have any weapons
Just our corn and the children

The dust runs, the dark clouds, but not us, but not us
While we pay for mistakes with no meaning
All your gifts and all your peace is deceiving
And still I pay dissolves with believing
That peace comes, their peace comes,
That peace comes, their peace comes

Now that our bones lay buried below us
Just like stones pressed into the earth
Well we ain't known by no one before us
And we begin with this one little birth
That grows on, that grows on, that grows on, that grows on
Crippled crow, say something for grieving
Where do we go
Once we start leaving?

Well close that wound
Or else keep on bleeding
And change your tune
It's got no meaning
