Let It Breathe
03:13
|
|
||
Dream when you’re grounded
Let it breathe until you finally find it
Hauled in a sell-out country
Sleeping astounded
Let it see you just like you always wanted
Rain on there’s still sunshine there for everyone
Dream when you’re hounded
Let it breathe until you’ve finally found it
Hauled in this sell-out century
It doesn’t matter to me
She said my is mine
When you take.

Annah nothing’s ever going to change
until you let in the summertime
The dark can get a little strange
so can I keep you from going astray
by staying for just a little while
Spread you like bedroom tile?
Would you like to hear a voice come around the bend
so you can put that noise to bed
with something someone said
So you can play pretend
Annah nothing’s ever going to change
until you let that summertime in
Got to let all sorts of kind in

Legs of Wood

Run run run with your legs of wood
Let your heart sing when it’s good
Run run run with your legs of wood
Let your heart sing like it should.

My god is such a good god
Shakes my head and never throws all of my time
He breaks a leg for me He’s so kind kicking it back
Says it helps keep the harm away
Singing “I used to shine when I was king of everything”
(alright)
My life is such a good life
Slaps my hand every time I try to take everything
Well she’s holding out on me saying the weight will only break my back
so I wait around and watch her choke on a cigarette
Singing “You can shine in everything
Don’t need to be no king of anything”.

Happy on the Thyme
01:31

Ceremony serpent swims the Nile
said put your head at ease here with mine
and would you take on my headache?
I would lock my head and slide
Cos you seem happy all the time
You seem happy all the time
Yes you seem happy on the thyme
All the time on the thyme.

Poor Khali

|

Tall Sally poor Khali
find all my pavement cares in a pile for a while
every time before it goes
So take a load off she said sort of
I’m not sinking I’m just lazy
Bite my head off when you show off
but it’ll catch up with you sooner or later
Before it goes.

In These Times
02:37
|
|
||
Headlight bedtime slip my mind
Head high when I’m coming down
Won’t be round for a long time
Bedside lips will slip my mind
Hillside when we step outside
There
when you’re body’s old and your age is cold
You are me See?
Will they pull your hair
Will other people stare at you or me?
Yea

Rake Your Mind
02:59
|
|
||
Before you rake your mind
won’t you take your time.
dorms await you there
where no one ever really wants to talk about it.
The lizard shakes his spine
inside the wizard’s wine
do pawns still hold a grudge?
They’ll break what spilled you
there’s no other way around it.
And when you find you there
no one ever really wants to talk about it.

For You Sioux
03:10
|
|
||
And when you take off
don’t let everybody haunt you
And if anybody asks you
You just tell them that I said so
They only really ever want you that’s all
And when you walk in
someone’s always doing the talking
and if anybody asks you
just tell them that I said so
They only really ever want you too Soula
Way down the Wichita all our friends are piling
seems a lifetime since we’ve seen them all
gathered there and smiling.

Psycho Death Poem
02:47
|
|
||
I told you that I got your back
and I won’t scold you ever
If what I do should ever break that pact
I’ll make it up to you forever
Now there ain’t much that I can tell you after that
cos you’re my only friend
Well I fold you so that you don’t crack
because I told you I too am clever
But now I want you to only want you back
So keep holding out for something better
There ain’t nothing I can tell you after that
cos you’re my only friend
is why I’ll kill you last
(dig it).
