"The Good Red Road"

"The Good Red Road"


It ain't hard to adore ya
Thread ya into my town
Put your guard down, explore ya
And I'll always be around

I want to live in Jamaica
Yeah I wanna live in Jamaica

..hair down
How'd they get their nose
..your hair down

I'm in love with an anchor
I can floss with her tail
She's the island above me
And I can tell, I can tell

When ya finally break my legs
And I can never leave the house again
Then I'll finally love you

"The Other Woman"

"The Other Woman"


I walk with my head down
I mumble all the words
I keep my feelings to myself only

I never stand my ground
I just stand around
If you love me then why won't you hold me

Everything and everyone around me is changing
Now that I've been the other woman

Your music rides ten horses in the sky
And gallops through the evening
You, you have no side for me to stand by
In space, I see you and her

And everything and everyone around me is changing
Now that I've been the other woman
Oh now that I've been the other woman

Like a newlywed hummingbird
Building its home
Stick by stick above the river

You are green, you are red
You are yurple you are blue
You are gold you are silver

Well my eyes are made of lemons
My tears are made of limes
You love me, you hate me, I'm losing my mind

I've sailed the sea of love aboard the ship of hopes
I'm a skipper, I'm the captain, I'm the crew

And everything and everyone around me is changing
Now that I've been the other woman
Oh now that I am the other woman

I will always be the other woman
I'll never be the only woman
The only woman...

There's one way to whistle, whistle while you work
I know I am the plateau
Just one way to whistle, but it's too soon

"The Thumbs Touch Too Much"

"The Thumbs Touch Too Much"


If I were more like city girls
if I were more like city girls
If I were more like fancy girls
And thanks little bee, think of me
Here's four photographs
Just for laughs

My Miss Shipwreck sinks
Yes she sings
My Miss Pitchfork pinch
Yes she pinch
My Miss Sidewalk slips
Makes a mess, tickle flesh
When the night doesn't want you
And the sounds all surround you
And the steps to the temple
Are the breasts made of puddles

And if I were more like city girls
If I were more like fancy girls
And all my thumbs touch too much

"Theme For A Taiwanese Woman In Lime Green"

"Theme For A Taiwanese Woman In Lime Green"


Love, don't you worry
Even though it's time to go
And while I know you've got to hurry
Do it slow
I wanna love you once more
Even though we've never loved before
I know so very little about so many things
And oh so much about nothing
But a kiss begun
Will never end
There's no one in the world that
I love
And that no one is you
Now I embody same song stuck on repeat
Drunk mom in the lobby
Sad cop on the beat
I wanna love you again
Even though we've yet to even meet
I'm home
When I'm nearly home
I'm only home
When I'm nearly home
Love's the only lesson everyone knows how to teach
And love's only ever pretending to be out of reach
You're nearly next to me
There's no one in the world that
I love
And that no one is you
I can't wait to close my mouth and not say a thing
But love's making me sing
Takes a certain persuasion
For that romantic equation

"There Was Sun"

"There Was Sun"


Well, I know, I was born, I was born
When I slipped out of my mother's womb
And I know it was warm, it was warm
'Cause I slipped out on a hot afternoon
Oh, waouh, oh
And I know there was sun, there was sun
When I felt it on my human skin
And I know it was done, it was done
When I saw the moon rising
Ah, ah, ah

"This Beard Is For Siobhán"

"This Beard Is For Siobhán"


The daughter of a man
Was a mammal
She bore the mark of fire
And of flame
Though they're both the same

Born unto the age of the golden
Oh that golden age of endless loss and endless gain
Tra la la la, now

Because my lips have split
All the little children
They all hide in front
In the middle and in behind
La, la, la, la!

And because my nose has froze
But i can keep on smellin'
I could smell my little day away
I could smell my whole day away
Na da da da!

Now because my teeth don't bite
I can take 'em out dancin'
I could take my little teeth out
And i could show them a real good time
Tra la la la

A good time a good time
A real good time...

"This Is The Way"

"This Is The Way"


This the soup
That i believe in
This is the smoke
I'm always breathin'
This is the way
I share my breakfast
This is the way
I serve my sentence

I know i know
I should lay low
I should stand tall

This is the beard
I'm always growin'
I know they're here
I see them floating
Her empress beards
They float so holy
Their beards are here
They gently hold me

Well who knows who knows
Yeah i may come home
Yeah i may return

This is the way
I'm always leaving
This is the soft
Voice of the evening
This is the way
I hear my father
These are the flames
That drown the water

Well i knew i knew
I could stand tall
I could lay low

This is the sound
That swims inside me
That circle sound
Is what surrounds me
This is the land
That grows around me
And these are the hands
That come in handy

Well we've known we've known
We've had a choice
We chose rejoice

"Todo Los Dolores"

"Todo Los Dolores"


Todos los Dolores ya se van
Y el grafitti dice Peter Pan
Y el zoologico de arcoiris
Arcoirá, arcoirá
En La mañana pienso en mi primo
Y todo lo español que desafino
Que dice cuando el sol sonrie
Sonreirá, sonreirá
Con tu cara de camello
Toma un bebé tan bello
Cada casa tiene llave
por no saber, por no saber

"Tonada Yanomaminista"

"Tonada Yanomaminista"


We burned all our clothes
Blew yopo up our nose
We're a young and lazy ol' wild boar
Yep
We followed the stork
It led us to camp
We didn't get lost but we lost a chance
1901 was the year of the bleedin' horse
And I was lonely, lonely
1902 the devil sucked off the moon
Please hold me, please hold me
My ear to your chest,
Your back to the ground,
Please move mama
Please make a sound
That war party's lookin' for you
And lookin' for me
Damn, damn, we weren't scared
Just unprepared
So we followed the caw
'till our eyes were locked in,
We became her and she became them
And then
I heard the voice of heaven
Sayin' don't be scared of anything
I heard the voice of the land,
The beautiful land, sing
I recognize you mother
In a little playful touch from death
As above so below
You're in control of the rest
Then the six nippled frog
Ran across the golden moss
Followin' behind us, behind us
And the w.a.c.
Was pointing remingtons at the trees
They couldn't find us
Can't find us
