fickle bones
03:53
|

so farewell to endless romance, fickle bones rehearse their dancing
step by step they take their chances
something in the way she moves her eye, summer blue and yellow sky
covered in advances
when you gonna go back home
haven’t been there in years
isn’t it strange to see
everything framed so innocently
specks of satin butterfly wings layered on the tablecloth
picnic-patterned number of things
couldn’t see your fingers through the grass, wasted on the final curtain call
you pass the wine, you spill it all
when you gonna go be alone
it isn’t at all what you would expect
isn’t it nice to see
everything working so perfectly
i wish you would say how you’re really feeling in this
very moment staring into the mirror nailed to the back of your shower
i wish you would say how you really see me through this
haze of frustration, confusion and pity

so you fell into a lullaby, wake me up when you were done
if you can’t then you’ll be half as high as the orange fading sun
there’s a spot where you can see it all, isn’t that where you would be
so you told me to go on and on into the ever-fading sea
so you told me to go on and on, so you told me to go on
so you told me to go on and on, so you told me to go on
well you could never know if I was gone, when you wake up from your dreaming
you could always tell you’re fever’s wrong, it was always half-way steaming
there’s a spot where you can see it all, isn’t that where you would be
so you told me to go on and on into the ever-fading sea

ice cream
02:50
|
|||
when you fall into the dirt
kicking off the ice cream from your shoe
i’ll be here and there around where you can find me on the ground
next to you kicking ice cream off your shoe
walk with me over the blue hills
sudden death, you can have your fills
summer day wasting your fears all gone
haven’t thought about your life in a long time
take your time, no need to rush
when you think of me don’t you blush

radio hits
03:14
|
|||
over the river, past the blue mountains
all the nice boys sound like radio hits
i ask weak vision, say it like water
from over enormous so easy summer
produce a moment, sometime they wasted
from under bright hills, the reasons they’ll never guess
come dance the children, eat candy poison
when traveled lightly, never so tough
rinse out the moonlight, tear off the noise in
all the sounds never seem so alive
save all the needles, push through the pillow
whether they want it, leaning on the windowsill
coming to meet me, scraping the bottom of the plate
racing to beat me, always finish late
fresh cut the wood now, dust on their fingertips
so it’s the winter, hats covered mittens lips
when we’re all done here, don’t have an easy fit
over the river, past the blue mountains, all the nice boys sound like radio hits

lizards
04:17
|

i see the smoke you’re blowing, accumulating in the air
i held my breath for so long, i think you never really cared
i heard the windows closing, i heard those noises somewhere
i listened to them for hours, i knew that you were there
there’s a whisper in the empty rooms you closed the door
take it off you couldn’t close it wasn’t worth it to ignore
it’s all too natural, we’ve been here before
it’s all too natural, we’ve been here before
you’d be better off sitting alone in the desert
you couldn’t piss anyone off, except maybe the lizards
except maybe the lizards
they’re dangerous if you let them out of their cages too long
so make sure you don’t feed them anything too strong
i see the hands you’re drawing, they turn around and twist off
i feel the fire you’re burning, it wasn’t hot until you coughed

cold dreams
05:52
|
|||
the light streams, i sweat hot as winter
my cold dreams, i can’t place a finger
on your blue jeans, they wrap over waters
i’ve never seen, but in my cold dreams
the blue streaks, it all makes me wonder
if you speak, it all sounds like thunder
and blue heat, but i don’t know weather
so tell me is it raining in my cold dreams
joy is a secret, if only the view didn’t ruin the surprise
i’m stuck under pillows on a boat that’s perpendicular to the shore
and the sun is beating down like honey blossoms in the spring
and the wind constant, flowing forcefully like a bumblebee’s sting
always like his purple shadow, dark as snow, white as rain
i see the echoes below the winter, i hear the billows coming through the summer
and the blue streak stains, warmer than they seem
following the patterns from my cold dreams
from my cold dreams

sweating like a tourist
05:06
|
|||
calling off the bones, crawling out the holes
digging up the bombs, marking up the stones
smoking half the dope, keep it in your pocket
you might not get home, you might need to have it
jumping in the trees, falling in the forest
never seeing sunlight, sweating like a tourist
you brought home the gun that you never used
so you told me, you had other bruises
you flew over the moon to the other side of hell
you knew it was too soon, but you couldn’t see that well
killing off for fun, shooting up like daisies
playing poker fast, losing all your savings
no one said you’d come back for seconds
they just promised you would stay for all the wreckage
they were marching in the streets, wearing your old clothes
ripped up nice and neat, i told you not to go

hair like houdini
04:25
|
|||
shadows beneath you say essential symphony
discolored eyes watching you from across the doorway
nine hundred bodies lying in the white sand
alcohol driven makes it hard to command
blue venus capsules make the stars glow
silver paper where the mouth should be, I know
hanging upside down from the right side up
hair like houdini, drinking straight from the cup
why don’t you say what you want from me now
every new day brings a whole other crowd
whether they cheer or the pick at their teeth
i’m sitting here with no air to breathe
keys in the stomach always make for a win
glass colored stairways make it hard to fit in
nine hundred bodies just waiting to dine
secretly dancing, no need to control their appetites
red velvet linings, softer than snow
wheels turning slowly, where do they all go
telephone wires sticking out from the back
hair like houdini, they all learn to react

there’s a wall around the city, they were keeping score too soon
if the war goes on much longer, it will all be left in ruin
so we set out to the valley, with our ships so black and full
they were brothers marching toward us, we could catch them down the hole
there’s a place I like to go
under summer blossoms no one knows
get away from all that blood
in the sand it turns to mud
in the sand they sweat and stand, the stone holding fast
killing dandelions with their spears, how much longer can this last
they stole the beauty from our shores, they came knocking on our city gates
blood was steaming so we went, no one tried to mitigate

we were lost holes on the unmarked territory no one had their foot on
they came running, we hid in the trenches
they came shooting, we put wire on all our fences
we were lost, we were crazy
we were young, we were killing
we were lovers while we’re living
we were young, we were listening
in our uniforms, so new and uninspiring
in our hats were the gold coins given to us by our lovers
whom we left on the shores, never saw again
they wrote us letters, the news according to them
but thousand forests to size, play these delirious ties
beneath their frantic dreams, lather blue storm and screams
