"Barcelona"

"Barcelona"



Barcelona where the winds all blew
And the churches don't have windows but the graveyards do
Me and my shadow are wrestling again
Look out stranger, there's a dark cloud moving in
But if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm afraid I am alone
Won't somebody please hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Fly, let me fly, let me fly

Super paranoid, I'm blending, I'm blurring, I'm bleeding into the scenery
Loving someone else is always so much easier
But I hold myself hostage in the mirror
But if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm tired of feeling this way
God, won't you please hold me, release me
show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly

I won't be held down, I wont be held back
I will lead with my faith

The red light had been following me
But don't worry mother
It's no longer my gravity
Hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly

"Becoming"

"Becoming"


Listen, heart
Listen close-listen
2 the melancholy
Melody of your own voice
I am weary of my own dreaming
I am tired of waiting
So this time, I'm leaping

[CHORUS]

I reach-beyond myself 2 see
What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing my own becoming

Lash myself 2 the
Mantle of my desire-I will
Turn from its temptations
But the wanting takes me higher

I am hurting
Oh, I am not yet born
I am the mother and the father
Of what is not yet known
Darkness surrounds me
I scratch, I struggle, I breathe

[CHORUS]

"Brahms Lullaby"

"Brahms Lullaby"



Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright
May the moon, silvery beams, bring you with dreams
Close you eyes, now and rest, may these hours be blessed
Till the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn

Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms

Sleepyhead, close your eyes, for I'm right beside you
Guardian angels are near, so sleep without fear
Lullaby, and good night, with roses bedight
Lilies o'er head, lay thee down in thy bed

Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms

Lullaby, and sleep tight, my darling sleeping
On sheets white as cream, with the head full of dreams
Sleepyhead, close your eyes, I'm right beside you
Lay thee down now and rest, may you slumble the best

Go to sleep, little one, think of puppies and kittens.
Go to sleep, little one, think of butterflies in spring.
Go to sleep, little one, think of sunny bright mornings.
Hush, darling one, sleep through the night
Sleep through the night
Sleep through the night

"Break Me"

"Break Me"



I will meet you
In some place
Where the light lends itself
To soft repose
I will let you undress me
But I warn you
I have thorns
Like any rose
And you could hurt me
With your bare hands
You could hurt me
With with the sharp end
Of what you say
But I'm lost to you now
And there's no
Amount of reason
That could save me
So break me
Take me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
I'll let you make me
Just let me
Feel your love again

Feels like being underwater
Now that I've let go
And lost control
Water kisses fill my mouth
Water fills my soul

So break me
Take me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
Make me
Just let me
Feel your love again

Kiss me once
Well, maybe twice
Oh, it never felt so nice
So break me
Take me
Let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
Make me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Just let me
Feel your love again

"Bucky The Bull"

"Bucky The Bull"


There was a bull named Bucky
It seemed he ran out of lucky
You see Bucky
Didn't wanna buck

That was a problem you see
Cause he was on his way to Tallahassee
The main attraction
At the tri-county rodeo

He dazzeled 'em from Dallas to Dakota
Into the air he’d throw ya
And if you’d stay on his back
You'd win the gold

He had quite a reputation
A tornado of devastaion
But he was mellowing now
As he was growing old

Still you’d hear ‘em say...

[Chorus]
Step right in, step right up
Come see Bucky the bucking bull buck
He's a mean hombre, with big scary horns
Many mamas curse the day he was born
Come on in and get your ticket here
Your safe in the stands, you got nothing to fear
Watch the cowboys test their luck
See if they got the right stuff
Watch Bucky the bucking bull buck

He arrived at the rodeo around ten
He had a star trailer to lay in
And around him he saw the other bulls
Warning up

They loaded him into the chute
His rope not to tight, not too loose
And a rookie named Garret
Climbed upon his back

It became the same old routine
He had seen it all
There was no thrill it seemed
The dream had died long ago

But still you’d hear ‘em say

[Chorus]
The cowboy nodded his head and said “Let ‘er rip!”
The chute gate opened and they moved out quick
But Bucky hardly bucked and the cowboy cursed
"Come on now, give me your worst!"

There was such passion in the young man’s voice
Bucky came alive, well he had no choice
He said "ok cowboy, buckle in
Were gonna dance
Were gonna dance
Hang on to your pants!

And now you hear ‘em say

[Chorus]

"Carnivore"

"Carnivore"



So much space can fit in a sigh
More than words can say
I'm left here standing with my hands all awkward
Trying to mend space
I used to know you
But not anymore
Your substance has been subtracted
Word by word

Silence in my ears, where once you offered your conviction
Your promises are dry beads that crack with nostalgia
But that's alright, that's okay
Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
To a carnivore

Your soul is an inkstain
Your perfection is amend
And you're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
But you're as strong as you can bend
You could only believe in embryos
So you held all your high hopes through a telescope
Lavender haunted you so I could
Only laugh in yellow
Yes, you have a genius for subtlety
I slip through the fingers of your ambiguity

But that's alright, that's okay
Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore

And I don't know what I did
But I won't do it again,
this time I'll be my own best friend
And I take back my songs and my poetry
And next time I won't be so easy to read
And I'll never trust my pink, fleshy no
Never trust my pink, fleshy heart, no
Never trust my pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
To a carnivore
To a carnivore

"Circle Song"

"Circle Song"



If you see me speak without words
Know that I am speaking of the wind
And if you see my words like wind
Know that soft tongues cut through stone
And if you see my tongue like stone
Know it's wisdom lies in silence
And if you see my wisdom in silence
Then with you I will always be

And if you doubt my true love is true
Just see how you have no mockings on your hands
And if you see you wear no chains
You are free like poor men
And if you see your freedom in being poor
Pleased you'll be with the treasure of your mind
And if you're pleased with the treasure of your mind
Then with you I will always be

And if you wonder how it is that I left
Just watch the sun set slip away
And as you watch that sun slip away
Know some things are better left unseen
And if you know things are better left unseen
Then night shall carry you in her arms
And if you see I carry you in my arms
Then with you I will always be
With you I will always be

"Cleveland"

"Cleveland"


Went walking underneath the shadows
Where dark and sweet secrets lay
When night tonight falls gently down
Hearts helplessly fall to the ground
Underneath a velvet sky
Only words can lie

I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
You're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today

Stewardesses like Cosmo magazine
Vogue makes me nervous I feel so plain
I could the world fearlessly
If you would face it here with me
Just our four hands and four eyes
Traffic cops would compromise

I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
You're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today

[bridge]
Daffodils and roulette wheels and rusty automobiles
Somewhere our things share the same window sill
Somewhere our hearts exist independent of time
Somewhere we are whole
One body
One body and one mind

From the air things look so ridiculous
Our fears so small, our fights so vain
I wanna pilot a plane with you
So all our problems look small, too
It's only an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use

I wanna tell you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say
Cuz you're in Cleveland today
Oh, you're in Cleveland today
You're in Cleveland today

"Cold Song"

"Cold Song"



It's getting cold and I'm starting to sneeze,
I wipe my nose on my sleeve.
I've got the sniffles
I'd better drink my tea.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?

I'd catch a cold with you anytime,
I ain't just feverish, I ain't just lyin'
'Cause when your nose is running it's a perfect time for kissing
and hugging.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?

We'll stay inside where it's nice and warm
Tell our bosses, we're caught in a sneezing storm.
We'll sniffle and snuggle and watch some more tv.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?

I'd catch a cold with you anytime,
I ain't just feverish, I ain't just lyin'
'Cause when your nose is running it's a perfect time for kissing
and hugging.
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch a cold with me?

Do you do you wanna wanna wanna wanna do you do you wanna
do me yes indeed,
Oh do you do you wanna wanna catch/have a cold with me?

"Count On Me"

"Count On Me"


My dog's name is George
We like to sit and stare on the front porch
George is my best friend
And I always will love him

There the sun sits up in the sky
And the boy in the moon comes out each night
They hardly ever see one another
But they always will need each other

[Chorus]
That's how the world goes
Everyone needs someone
Someone to love 'em
Someone to hold
When life seems a lonesome mystery
I'll count on you
And you can count on me

There's a lone tree in the square
And a small bird that takes shelter there
The bird sings along to the swaying of it's leaves
As they keep each other company

[Chorus]

The world is full of possibilities
As many as there are fishes in the sea
There's as much love as there are stars in the sky
As many answers as there are why's

[Chorus]

If you ever feel lost now
Don't you worry
I'll count on you
And you can count on me
