Turtle
01:57
|
|||
|
I found a turtle in a shell
Looked in and saw that you were there
I dragged you outside by the hair
And showed you just how much I care
You say what goes around it comes around, it comes around
Each time I'm sicker that the last
Next time you go around I'm stepping down and out
And leave you spinning in the past
I put you in my fairy tale
Enchanted you with my spell
I knew that the magic wouldn't last
And soon you'd put me to the test
Don't you know who you're lying to
X-ray eyes and psychic clues

Judo
02:02
|
|||
|
You wanted to stop being weak, so you learned judo
But your hand and your feet won’t move when you are meek
You are who you are
You wanted to show you have style, so you bought new duds
But your the word on the street is your duds are getting old
You are who you are, no less and no more
Don’t you fret about scenes
Don’y you fret about vanity
Maybe life is a dream and you’re not enjoying it
You are who you are, no less and no more
It is what it is, so you have to let go

House for a Mouse
01:47
|
|||
|
Mouse, you’ve been down
Your friends gather round
We give you what you don’t need and
love you though you don’t see it now
House falling down
To be used, lost and found
All the brick and wood and wallpaper
sleep a bed of nails on the ground
A house for a mouse in our home
The worst parts of me
are the push and the greed
And they take what can’t be taken back
Break what I tried to set free
A house for a mouse in our home

Art and Work
02:40
|
|||
|
What’s my love to you
What my art to you
More than I can mean
And if you agree..
What’s my time to me
What’s my art to me
What my love is worth
And what’s popular
It’s either dead if it’s lost to me
Or rather, what does it mean to you?

The Quietest Voice
01:56
|
|||
|
You talk too loud and don’t hear it
If you have a secret, then keep it
If you want me to know that you’ve been around
Keep your tongue in your mouth and feet on the ground
The quietest voice has much more to say
Than the salesmen of words that get in your face
The greatest of minds seldom make a sound
Keep their tongues in their mouths and feet on the ground
I hear what you’re saying now
But get tired when you talk so loud

Bats in Flight
02:55
|
|||
|
Bats in flight, bridge the sunset dim into the night
From their heights, praise the darkness dawn into the light
Waters speak from the valley to the mountain peaks
Skies will weep, tears will flow right to the ocean deeps
Seeds will sow anywhere the summer wind will blow
Seeds will grow in the sun or under earth and snow
All in light, all in life

Making Your Own Stuff
01:04
|
|||
|
You, you can make your own rope out of plants
and some clothes, shirts and pants
Food, it grows by the road, in the forest
and right under your nose
Ooo weee, and you get it for free!
You, you can make your own drums out of cans
Toothbrush sticks, pots and pans
Ooo weee! It’s for free!

Sleeping Lions
04:22
|
|||
|
Find me in the town or on the mountain
Down low or up high
Look me in the eyes and see the violence
Calm beneath the skies
And we’re all running out our taste for science
Turns sweet then to sour, we’re sleeping lions
People with the power don’t have the answer
They only have the power
And power is just the ice under the dancer
And spring is on the rise
Miracles and accidents, intention and coincidence, don’t lie

The Fish and the Worm
03:28
|
|||
|
There’s a feeling in my guts
Like a storm inside my house
Like a movie that’s ending
Like I am sick pretending
There’s these words stuck in my mouth
(love, I can’t explain it now)
Hard I push they won’t come out
(twist and pull my heart of stone)
When I break down they leave me
(stranded and my words have left me dry)
Open my heart too easy
(to you and everyone)
You’re the fish and I’m the worm
You will swim and I will squirm
|

The Sun
02:36
|
|||
|
The sun is secretly casting doubts today
On the walls around our town
We know that everything has to die someday
Who knows the time will come
Who knows what will be done
Dying is a fantasy, we move on and everything is gone
Life and death are harmony, without one the other would be wrong
No morning without evening
|

After All
02:38
|
|||
|
After all we have each other, we’ll be friends when this is though
Glaciers freeze or turn to water, after all I’ll still have you
What if it’s our house that’s burning?
What if it’s the world stops turning?
What if it’s the bombs start falling?
What about hurricanes?
After all we have each other, we’ll be friends when this is though
War and peace or nasty weather, after all I’m still with you
What if our money stops flowing?
What if y baldness starts showing?
What if out talents go nowhere?
What about accidents?
Don’t fret when you’re living

Spooks
03:17
|
|||
|
Not unique but different to most
You are or you aren’t, but get out of the road
You look like you’ve seen a ghost
The spooks in the closet are tied in their ropes
Skeletal homes, dry walls and bones
I’m beginning to believe you more
The spooks have retired and shut up their stores
Closed all their windows, locked all their doors
Where are the people that open their hearts?
Truth is to show, painful to know
And the spooks in your heart are the thorns in your love

Treehouse Lullaby
03:15
|
|||
|
Come back down you said
Down he came and left
Go where your love went
Or leave your love for dead
But don't be sad
The roads are rough ahead
Scarred by doubts, regrets
And empty like your bed
The empty song you sang
You won't forget
Fast now, you don't want to lose it
