The Hobo Song
06:16
|
|||
I could not get to sleep..
Feeling the future, in my head.
A million times over..
I've been here before..
I'll be here again.
Feeling the need..
To flicker my pen..
Flicker my pen all night long..
I feel like mediocre Joe when he
just lost his mojo
I wanna feel the superman flow
wanna flow like a river wanna
flow Joe.
Flow like a river or a breeze
through the trees, wanna feel
like the richest of the hobos
Feeling mighty fine..
from the wine,
from the wine
Hoping I reply,
to the girl on my right,
girl on my right all night
long..
(chorus 4x getting higher)

Waterwing
02:52
|

I cannot, swim that far
I cannot, swim at all
But if you would be
My waterwing
Maybe I could
Maybe I would fly
...
I can’t swim that far
Can’t even swim at all
If you would be my
Waterwing
Maybe I could fly
Maybe I would try
Maybe I could fly
Maybe I would
...
try

Autumn Colours
02:05
|
|||
Autumn colours are my brothers,
Scarlet fever, golden retriever, pulling the lever, on a daily basis, stasis, opposite of racist, if you’re feeling good just say this
Oh oh Elizabeth hurley
my oh my your hair is curly
straight downstairs to the close knit hairs
a formal request, to sample your wares x2
Grappling the cement, around the curves, I get bent, are you hell or heaven sent? Check the appropriate box, wow it even talks, Falling out in waves, slinking in their caves, I am lost and sauced, oh what a cost, when fighting with, Jack Frost
Oh, oh, Elizabeth Hurley, my oh my your hair is curly, straight downstairs to the close-knit hairs, a formal request to sample your wares x3
Good things come in pairs x3

Moon Daughter
01:59
|
|||
the rolling palms in the splenderous dale
told me when to furl the sail
I lay before the beautiful shore
jewels in my hand the beaches sand
the sun shone strong this day would be long the kind you remember until time is gone
the rum had been poured with an ornamental sword
I stared at the sky playing these two chords
and the world made me cry
there and then
I could have died x2
but I lived!
the day began to wane and the sun began to set
at the waters edge I saw silhouette
like a star in the sky brighter to my eye
she came to my side
I couldn't explain why

Farmacia
02:24
|
|||
I go to, the Farmacia, my brain enacts, Onomatopoeia
Boom Biff Pow, Crash
Twelve games of chess in the midnight mornin’ sun
Many pieces littering the floor
Still I’m waiting for the queen to come through the door
(come through that door baby)
It has to be right, a spectral night
It shouldn’t be a fight, just super-natural
Don’t change for me, just be who you are
If gravity wills it, our love shall form a star
A full on beacon to fight the god of war

Androgynous
03:23
|
|||
Androgynous, how can I forget about you
you make me feel, just the way that I do
I give it up, before the line is through
and I don't wanna feel cool
sit beside the kids in the pool
or watch the wind blow like a fool
I made it up, when I was in a good mood
funny how, the feeling is now induced
I love you all like the sun
and I don't wanna leave everyone
so throw away that ugly gun
winter clothes and summer fun
androgynous, how can I forget about you
you make me feel, just the way that I do
I give it up, before the line is through
and maybe you, will sing along to this tune

Reoccurring Fantasy #12
02:02
|
|||
I am walking home, drunk, and alone, and you mysteriously appear,
The most beautiful stranger,
You are uncharacteristically forward,
Though I couldn’t possibly know,
because we’ve never met,
We talk a while, I learn your style,
And before long, the emotion strong,
We lose the time and place,
My lips caress your face,
Swimming in the newness of each other,
And to think, just five minutes ago, I was walking home, drunk, and alone.

Where Do You Find Them
03:52
|
|||
Try as I might, a broken light
You make me wear sunglasses
I see in the dark
Calloused thumbs is telling lies
Like potatoes possessing eyes
Violet in nature, pure abstract in stature
Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them?
We are but keys, searching for locks, lost and found, in the sound resound
Search for the holy quail, abruptly gone stale,
Settle for a fish, in the belly of a whale
Where do you find them? where do you find them? where do you find them? where do you find them?
Mixings in the air, a lonesome hat, covers a man, covers my hair
Relax in a chair, vibrations, conducive to a mind’s elations
Nothing is less, and something is more
A brutal photograph, for you all to see
He’s not all there, whispers behind their backs
Ah but we’re somewhere, ah but we’re somewhere
Aren’t we all? Aren’t we all?
Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them? Where do you find them?
Where do you find them?

Where do we go, when we die? Do we live, or do we lie,
In the stream, of all that’s been
Do we live? Or do we die?
The gatekeeper is wonderin’ where you have been
Do you go to heaven, or have, you sinned?
It don’t really matter what’s right or wrong in his eyes
All that really matters is, it’s a surprise
I’ll see you when you get there upstairs or down
Cause I know that I’m gonna be the class clown
Jokin’ and a trickersterin’ like Loki on the run
One thing is for sure, I’m gonna have my fun
Where do we go, when we die? Do we live, or do we lie,
In the stream, of all that’s been
Do we live? Or do we die?
Where do we go, when we die?
Do we live? Or do we die?

And You've Lived
03:30
|
|||
And you’ve lived in that slow southern style,
and you’ve got, time to remember,
And you think you’re drunk on whiskey again,
and you’re not, at your best,
You’ve played the game till the dice wore out, and it’s over,
Thank God it’s over,
And you’ve lived, oh you have lived, and your eyes,
are wide open,
Open wide, so wide, that you wish, you wish you could close them,
Again, again,
And you’ve lived in that slow southern style,
and you’ve got, time to remember,
And you think you’re drunk on whiskey again,
and you’re not, at your best,
You’ve played the game till the dice wore out, and it’s over,
Thank God it’s over.

Whimsy
04:19
|
|||
I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare,
All I can do, is sit across the room and stare,
I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare,
All I can do, is sit across the room and stare,
I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare,
All I can do, is sit across the room and stare,
I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare,
All I can do, is sit across the room and stare,
I wanna breathe your air, even though I know I really can’t compare,
All I can do, is sit across the room and stare

Andante
04:12
|
|||
The crook of an arm, a bracelet a charm, come and sit with us
A rust of trust, rings and sings, clings and stings, ah
All that I am, lost in you, All that I am, lost in you
How can I forget? How, can I forget?
All that I am, lost, in you
Joy and pain, in a cold summer rain, the lover's refrain, refrain
All that I am, lost in you
All that I am, lost, in you
How can I forget? How, can I forget?
How can I forget? How, can I forget?

Autobiography
02:48
|
|||
Hours and hours of legos in my room, doin what it was that I do
Playing songs for my mom in the kitchen that I wrote
playing each song note for note
now I know my dad that I never really got to know
Take the world on strong, yeah I know
singin' ood a lolli ood a lolli
golly what a day
My sister and me, VCR,
who'd have known I'd a wind up here playing guitar
Singin ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what day
My brother and me in the back woods breaking sticks
The sticks were the swords and the words that we said never end
Singin ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what a day
ood a lolli ood a lolli golly what a day
