Bouncing Off Clouds

Bouncing Off Clouds


Bouncing off of clouds
We were
Is there a lone lost-and-found?
Make it easy
Make this easy
Itâ??s not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal
Wrapped in ivy
Painted in mint ice cream

We could bouncing off the top of this cloud
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
Failure to respond worked
I talked but did you listen
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)

Ooh but would you say has it come to this
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
Well you can stare all day at the sky
But that wonâ??t bring him back
That wonâ??t bring him back
You say youâ??re waiting on fate
But I think we decide
I think we decide
Where we take our lives

Make it easy
Easy
Easy
We could make this easy
Easy love
Easy
We could make this easy
Make this easy
Itâ??s not as heavy as it seems
Make this easy
Make this easy
Itâ??s not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal
Wrapped in ivy
Big umbrellas smiling

We could bouncing off the top of this cloud
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)
Ooh but would you say has it come to this
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)
Ooh but would you say has it come to this
(Iâ??ve put on my silver)
Bouncing off of clouds
We were.

Boys In The Trees (Accuracy Unknown)

Boys In The Trees (Accuracy Unknown)


I'm home again in my old narrow bed,
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end,
The low beam room with the window looking out,
On the soft summer garden,
Where the boys grew in the trees,

Here I grew guilty,
And no one was at fault,
Frightened by the power in every innocent thought,
And the silent understanding passing down,
From daughter to daughter,
Let the boys grow in the trees,


Do you go to them or do you let them come to you,
Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude,
Deny yourself and hope someone will see,
And live like a flower,
While the boys grew in the trees,


Last night I slept in sheets the colour of fire,
Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desires,
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze,
And watch by the window,
Where the boys grew in the trees.

Bug A Martini

Bug A Martini


Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Lounge and return
Echo can't hear you
And as you wander
Through perfume
And pathways

Your version coercion
My version elixir of quietude
Line up the dots
Music to spy to
Music to die to

Spanking your lime
Over the crushed ice
Using the triad
To counter measure
You can't see my face
Dead letter box please

Your version coercion
My version elixir of quietude
Line up the dots
Music to spy to
Music to die to

Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Send me to Moscow

Butterfly

Butterfly


Stinky soul get a little lost in my own
Hey General, need a little love in that hole of yours
One ways, now, and Saturdays and our kittens all wrapped in cement
From cradle to gundrops
Got me running girl fast as I can
And is it right Butterfly they like you better framed and dried

Daddy dear if I can kill one man why not two
Well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes and pom poms and cherry blondes
And their kittens still wrapped in cement
From God's saviors to gundrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right Butterfly they like you better framed and dried

Got a pretty pretty garden pretty garden yes
Got me a pretty pretty garden a pretty garden yes
Got me a pretty pretty garden a pretty garden

Cactus Practice

Cactus Practice


Maybe he and I

Are like a pair of suns
That are captured

Maybe he and I are like a pair of suns
That are captured

Eternally linked into chasing
Each other's spin

Eternally linked into chasing
Each other's spin
Bound by beliefs

That have become steel cords

Why the disharmony?
Let's resynch my world
With a harmonic defiance I'll face this

I'd like to induct you into
The drink of the cactus practice
Cactus

Cactus

Practice

Will you induct me into
The drink of the cactus practice?
Cactus

Cactus

Practice
Are you saying I'm

Reactive but I can work with a doll face

Every couple has their version of what they call the truth
Every couple has their version of what they call the truth
Call all that lies

Beneath both stories

Back to my fire

Embrace what you find

With a harmonic defiance I'll face this

It's time to induct you into
The drink of the cactus practice

Cactus
Cactus

Practice

I'd like to induct you into
The drink of the cactus practice

Cactus
Cactus

Practice
Will you induct me into
The drink of the cactus practice?

Candle In The Wind (live)

Candle In The Wind (live)


Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all,
You had the grace to hold yourself, while those around you crawled.
They crawled out of the woodwork, and they whispered into your brain,
They set you on the treadmill, and they made you change your name.

And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind,
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did.


Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played.
Hollywood created a superstar, and pain was the price you paid.
Even when you died, the press still hounded you,
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude.


And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind,
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did.


Well it seems to me you lived your life...
And never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in.
And I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before, your legend ever did.

Carnival

Carnival


I sing to the sun in the sky
I sing to the sun raised high

Carnival dancer, magical time of youth
And as the day draws nigh
Dreams fill my heart
I'll sing while he raises guitar
I'll sing as the night wakes the dawn
Will love come my way on this magical day?
And will hope stay in my heart?

Carnival dancer, magical time of youth
And as the day draws nigh
Dreams fill my heart and
Sing while he raises guitar
I'll sing my dream from afar
Will love come my way on this magical day?
And will hope stay in my heart?
Will true love come my way on this magical day?
Overlook, oh my love
In my

Stay (oh, dear)
Stay (oh, dear)
Stay
In my
You
You
(stay again)
The way you're walking and walk, the way you can
The way you're telling me you're not a danger
This man, I said again, I say again
I'm not too kind [to the] moon
Telling me, well I watch you
Kin to you
You

Carry

Carry


Love, hold my hand
Help me see with the dawn
That those that have left
Are not gone

But they carry on
As stars looking down
As nature's sons
And daughters of the heavens

You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you

Forever
You have touched my life
So that now
Cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing

The waves have come to walk with you
To where you will live in the land of you,
Land of you
You will not ever be forgotten by me

In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Here I will carry, carry, carry you

Cars And Guitars

Cars And Guitars


If I choke boy
You start me up again
Restring my wires why'know
This gearbox can make the shift polish my rims
Damned if you do
Damned if you don't
I swear it seems of late boy
I've even curved this body to fit your bow

Still the rain can't confuse the thoughts that come
Come in rhythm
Cause it never was the cars and guitars that came between us
Still a thought says what if I
Keep on drivin'
Keep on drivin'

"Yeah that whip has skirt"
You said it proud
Sometimes I'd watch her idle while you'd tune her up
Me with my silencer on
You and your crocodile clip
Me and my alligator pears yeah
All tricked out for the trip
That slid into a spin

You say that "I miss you"
You stop in at my drive-through
You know who you'll order some some boy

Cause it never was the cars and guitars that came between us
Still a thought says what if I
Keep on drivin'
Keep on drivin'
Keep on drivin'

If I choke boy
You start me up again
Resting my wires why'know
This gearbox can make the shift polish my rims

Caught A Lite Sneeze

Caught A Lite Sneeze


Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
Caught a lightweight lightningseed
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle
And you're not here I need a big loan
From the girl zone

Building
Tumbling down
Didn't know our love was so small
Couldn't stand at all
Mr St. John just bring your son

The spire is hot
And my cells can't feed
And you still got that Belle dragging your foots
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
But I still got that Belle
Dragging my foots

Right on time you get closer
And closer
Called my name but there's no way in
Use that fame
Rent your wife and kids today
Maybe she will
Maybe she will caught a lite sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here
Boys in their dresses
And you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone
