Sister Janet

Sister Janet


Master shaman, I have come
With my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade

All the angels all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne

Sister Janet you have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none
Call the wanderer he has gone
And all those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wings
A wing can cover all sorts of things

This again
Well I think I could try this once again

And all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet marianne

Sister Named Desire

Sister Named Desire


Got a sister named Desire
They don't let you
Like those little boys
By their house
On the backyard swing
I know of it 'cause
I thought we told
Some little sweet stories
In the parking lot
They say that girl lost her sway
The say that girl lost her sway
That day
God I'd like to drag him
For a long way 'cause maybe I
Then I'd just cry a little tear
Near him to that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take him by myself
If I've got to go
Don't let you know
Let you know
Where she goes to with those
Me as I interfere
That girl lost her sway
They say that girl lost her sway
That day
Teach me about them old worlds big brother
And in an elevator
Where somebody can get out
With the sound
They say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it slip through my hands, boy
Watch it go
Oh, what you know
I guess
I see
Just see
'Cause she still can sway

Sleeps With Butterflies

Sleeps With Butterflies


Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Smells Like Teen Spirit


Load up on guns and
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
And to pretend
She's over bored
And self assured
Oh no, i know
A dirty word

Hello hello hello hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah

I'm worse at what i do best
And for this gift i feel blessed
Our little group has been
And always will be until the end

Hello hello hello hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah

And i forget
Just why i taste
Oh yeah, i guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
It was hard to find
Oh well, whatever
Nevermind

Hello hello hello hello
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah, a denial
A denial
A denial

Smokey Joe

Smokey Joe


Pip I

Smokey Joe you're calling at the station,
"Love, it's one of life's complications"
I did not ask for this
"Oh but love yes you did"

Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me

Pip II

It's too easy
It's too easy
To wish you harm
It's too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river

Pip I

Smokey Joe hey what's a revelation
"That one's past is not a destination
It is a road for fools
Who need empty approvals"

Pip II

My dark twin
The annihilating Feminine
Does not need
Civilizing

Pip I

Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me

Pip II

It's too easy
It's too easy
To wish you harm
It's too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river

Pip I

Smokey Joe can you pass the pipe
You have been blessed now go be wise.
"It is a coward who will say he's not afraid
Of dying when clearly he is potently alive"

Pip II

A songless robin
She became
He stole my sister Clitorides.
These silken rubber gloves
Choking his vitriolic tongue

Pip I

Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege
Maybe it terrifies me
This quiet siege

Pip II

It's too easy
It's too easy
To wish you harm
It's too easy
You through black ice
At the bottom of the river

Pip I and Pip II

Smokey Joe is calling at the station
Calling at the station

Snow Cherries From France

Snow Cherries From France


i knew a boy who would
not share his bike
oh, but he let me go sailing
i swore that i
could survive any storm
oh then he let me go

“can you launch rockets from here?”
boy, i’ve done it for years
right over my head
and when i promised my hand
he promised me back
snow cherries from france
all that summer
we traveled the world
never leaving his own back garden
girls, i didn’t know
just what it could be
oh, but he let me go sailing

you question me,
“can you ride anything?”
lord, do you mean like your mood swings
invaders and traders with
the best intentions
may convince you to go
“they look like pirates from here”
boy, i’ve been one for years
just keeping my head
and when i promised my hand
you promised me back
snow cherries from france

and then one day he said
“girl it’s been nice,
oh, but i have to go sailing”
with cinnamon lips
that did not match his eyes
oh then he let me go

SnowBlind

SnowBlind


Some get snowblind
With the daylight
But then with the night
For once see clearly

Through fox's eyes
I've been watching you
How do you free your mind
So that you're not confined
By our concept
Of what we call time

Follow me
Call me
Annabelle

Some get snowblind
With the daylight
But then with the night
For once see clearly

I will
Follow you
Annabelle

Just imagine him
There upon that hill
Over three thousand years
From now 'til then

A key fragment
Of you and him

And what I must now
Bring back
I'm wondering
Were you giants
Or friends
Even the more again
Lovers or enemies
One or all of these

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somewhere Over The Rainbow


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dream that you dare to dream
Really does come true

One day I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way upon the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way upon the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Song For Eric

Song For Eric


I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes

See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know me like the nightingale
"Oh fair maiden, I see you standing there"
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me

Spark

Spark


She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is here here here
She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she could'nt keep baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere here here here
You say you don't want it again and again but you don't don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in but you don't, don't really mean it, you don't don't Really mean it
If the divine master plan is perfected
Maybe next I'll give Judus a try
Trusting my soul to the icecream assassin here here here
You say you don't want it again and again but you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in but you don't, don't really mean it, you don't don't Really mean it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb yes well so did I
Say you don't want it say you don't want it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb yes well so did I
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it, say you don't want it again and again but you don't, Don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus were in but you don't, don't really mean it
Don't really mean it
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is here here here
