Island
03:46
|

I’ve been caught up in a circle
Running on an island
Can’t remember the beginning
Can’t remember how it started
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Was it somewhere in the middle
After you departed
You took it off the table
I think that’s when I started
Begging, darling
On and on
Begging, darling
On and on
Is it better to be stable
Or to sharpen with the sharpest
Or to pull up the fast lane
Or to be a starving artist
Begging, darling
On and on
Begging, darling
On and on
All they say I should be done
That I should want to settle down
But all I want to do is run
On and on and on and on and on
Oh on and on and on and on and on

Cloudbird

When I was a young one
I dreamed I could fly up
To the top of that old barn
Everyday I’d look up
Hoping I could reach up
Someday even touch the stars
Then one day in winter
When the air was bitter
I ran into the falling the snow
But I slowing fell onto my knees
Get back up try my best to
See the clouds as they turn into birds
All alone I stand waiting
As they go, take to flight
This one sings, that one cries
Come now baby
Soaring over oceans
Sailing past the sunsets
Never looking back to see
All the falling statues
Whispering to tell you
This is what you’re meant to be
Oh but I always fell onto my knees
Get back up try my best to
See the clouds as they turn into birds
All alone I stand waiting
As they go, take to flight
This one sings, that one cries
Come now baby
See the clouds as they turn into birds
All alone I stand waiting
See the clouds as they turn into birds
All alone I stand waiting
As they go, take to flight
This one sings, that one cries
Come now baby
As they go, take to flight
This one sings, that one cries
Come now baby
Come now baby
Come now baby

By the Bay
03:45
|

I got all dressed up in black
Silver buttons down my back
My mother gave me fifty cents
I took it and jumped off the fence
And met you at the candy shop
Eating shimmy cocoa pops
Oh oh you said
Do you wanna walk with me
Yea I wanna walk with you
We’re standing in this candy shop
When we could be walking
Let’s go walking
By the bay
The boys who like to talk go
Sweet, sweet baby
I’ll never let you go
Fly so high
Our feet almost touch the sky
Won’t come back
Until July
I got all dressed up in yellow
Went upstairs to kiss a fellow
I made a mistake
I kissed a snake
How many doctors will it take
Oh what will it take
By the bay
The boys who like to talk go
Sweet, sweet baby
I’ll never let you go
Fly so high
Our feet almost touch the sky
Won’t come back
Until July
By the bay where all the boys from Bayamo go
Que bonita oh I’ll never let you go
By the bay where all the boys from Bayamo go
Bye, bye baby all the way to Mexico
By the bay
The boys who like to talk go
Sweet, sweet baby
I’ll never let you go
Fly so high
Our feet almost touch the sky
Won’t come back
Until July
Baby, my baby

Move Your Body
02:57
|
|||
Tell me something interesting
You are losing my attention
Sounds like you said that a hundred times
Don’t talk like you’re reading lines off a page
And I don’t care about your money
You don’t have to buy me anything
I just wanna know what moves your body
And what its gonna take
For you to move over here
Walk me to my front door
Don’t stare at the floor of the stoop
Don’t think oh don’t you hesistate
Even though its getting late
Its getting late oh oh oh
And I don’t care about your money
You don’t have to buy me anything
I just wanna know what moves your body
And what its gonna take
For you to move over here
I don’t care about your money
About your money baby
I just wanna know what moves your body
And what its gonna take
For you to move over
Here oh oh
Here oh oh oh

White Fang
03:37
|

Where I stand
Is where I am
I’m not going
Nowhere, nowhere
Try and make me move
I will remain
Let them go
Let them change
Oh they
They’ve got you baby
Completely taking
What they’ve sold
And oh
They’ll keep you waiting
While they rake in
All your gold
Your gold
I’ve got it all in here
Here it goes
Listen close
Think you’ve heard it all before
This time I’ve
Got it right
Oh they
They’ve got you baby
Completely taking
What they’ve sold
And oh
They’ll keep you waiting
While they rake in
All your gold

Anaphaze
04:09
|
|||
LED settles in your bloodstream
Pushing aside things you dream of
Halogen burrows in your skin
Causing disruption
Mounted screens facing you with lists and streams
Figures endlessly move across
Calculate the risk is in the time you take
You don’t even feel the stop
Stop, wait
Copy and replace
You’re stuck in anaphase
Glittering rays of sun on her skin
Radiating what you need
Out of reach, everything is out to sea
But you don’t see, you don’t see
Stop, wait
Copy and replace
You’re stuck in anaphase

Tangerine Lightning
03:01
|
|||
It's what I wanted
just what I wanted
I'm falling over
I'm falling over
I can't believe it
Believe it
Bet all my dollars and run to the end
Tangerine lighting
Hits blue and silvery ice
A rolling booming
Breaks every wall it can find
How they keep singing
Each time I close my eyes
And in that second every thing's in my mind
You’re what I wanted
Just what I wanted
We're falling over
Falling over
Should I believe it
believe it
Hope every dollar, was money well spent
How they keep singing
each time I close my eyes
And in that second every thing's in my mind

Don’t talk stop
Tell me what you want from me
Take off your sugar coat
Hot stuff got
2nd story man for me
Just got off the boat
One part - gold
3 parts - sold
Son play the man
With Reason
Don’t shoptalk
Tell me what you want from me
.................
4,3, 2
Trade it like its contraband
Modern distribution
Freeze dry pop lock
Rocket-prop the moscow man
Rewrite the institution
You missed it
They pitch shit
Try every combination
Backwards Baby
Lady play the tambourine
We’re half asleep in a rainbow haze
Lets go get lost in the color fades
We’re half asleep in a rainbow haze
Lets go get lost in the color fades
Daydream revelry
Fancy plays the drums for me
In a house that’s golden
MT, loyalty
Loyalty enough for me
Charge it the Roman
Sixty Four
They’ve got more
Tell the well heeled trade up
Don’t talk stop
Tell me what you want from me
Before the family breaks up
We’re half asleep in a rainbow haze
Lets go get lost in the color fades

If You're Wondering
04:09
|
|||
Where did you go
What did I do
What did I say to you
Oh oh
I’m missing you
Parts of my soul
Are built just like you
Same material through and through
Oh oh
I’m missing you
And if you’re wondering
How I’m doing
I’m fine
Oh if you’re wondering
How I’m doing
I’m fine
Full speed ahead
Without missing a part
So ive written the memory
Of you on a chart
On the walls of my heart
Then each day goes by
They end and they start
How could this melody
Just fall apart
Play it on a broken heart
And if you’re wondering
How I’m doing
I’m fine
No
And if you’re wondering
How I’m doing
I’m fine
How’s your day, how have you been lately
Do your friends still complain that you’re lazy
They don’t know it’s your own way
Of saying you’ve had enough
Is your hair cut the way that you’re used to
And at night are you home cooking good food
For somebody who’s lovely
You tell all your worries to
And if you’re wondering
How I’m doing
I’m fine
And if you’re wondering
How I’m doing
I’m fine

Little Things
04:43
|
|||
For the most part
I’m not even counting time
As the minutes go by
Well I’m doing mostly fine
For the most part
I’ve got everything that I need
But there are a few things that I need
And you can’t really bring them to me
For the most part
When I’m lying asleep at night
I’m mostly okay that you’re not
Lying here by my side
And it’s the little things
The little things that make me think
And it’s the little things
The little things that make me sink
And it’s the little things
The little things that come to mind
When I can’t keep pretending
That everything’s mostly all fine
For the most part
I’m doing okay on my own
Each day I keep rising
And seeing the people we know
And its go, going alright
For the most part
I don’t have a second to breathe
When everyone’s asking
And I don’t have answers to
When will you be
Be here with me
And it’s the little things
The little things that make me upset
And it’s the little things
The little things that get in my head
Oh its those little things
Those little things get stuck in my head
It’s the little things
Those little things will take us apart
Then I remember that I gave you
All of my heart

Paper Door
04:45
|
|||
When we’re through
Removing all the paint we used
Only then will we agree
There’s nothing left underneath
You’ll cut right through
The cinder block and we’ll see to
A door that’s locked
Standing apart what do we do
This paper door keeps a heart safe and secure
You’ll never let it get in your way
When we’re alone
Watching the gas on the stove
Seeing the blue flames rise, rising so high
Standing apart
Saying I’ll see you tomorrow
Behind before I wait
For you before
This paper door keeps a heart safe and secure
You’ll never let it get in your way
This paper door lets in the light and the warmth
Why would you ever take that away
And the cloud are gathering round
And the sky is falling down
Let this hurricane come down
But don’t let me go this time
Oh oh oh oh
This paper door keeps a heart safe and secure
You’ll never let it get in your way
This paper door lets in the light and the warmth
Why would you ever oh oh oh oh

Mt. Picchu
04:01
|
|||
We'd climbed to the top of Mt. Picchu
Just to see the trees
Or take a flight to London
Just to walk in the streets
And that’d be heaven
Be heaven to me
And then we could take a boat
To float on the sea
It doesn’t matter where we end up
As long as you’re with me
And that’d be heaven
Be heaven to me
And that’d be heaven
Be heaven to me
We’ll cheat time and get there
Oh oh
Oh oh
