Tonight, the moon is bright and full the breeze is soft and cool but I'm lost without a light oh, I hear there's wonder to behold in secret bunkers of the soul but I'm stranded in the night

sometimes the words just spill from my mouth sometimes I can't even pull them out my teeth are fully of tiny holes and tunnels dug by tine moles I'm not gonna remember i'm not gonna remember i'm not gonna remember but i'm happy right now i don't remember highschool, they think they understand they can't see the invisible x's on my hands we've all got problems running pretty deep for example i can never ever ever ever sleep so i'm not gonna remember (rejoice, rejoice) i'm not gonna remember (for making a new start, rejoice, rejoice) i'm not gonna remember but i'm happy right now (for the love in your heart) i'm sorry that I said I'd call you and then I never called you when I said I'd call you i really meant it at the time

I hate every bent note, like a murder that she wrote don't it bustle your hedgerow? I hate every bent note. Why's it always got to be the blues? Give me something else that I can use. I could put out my own eyes and be Blind Melon Jones but I'm not Teiresias, I don't have the stones. I wanna sing in my own space, but this cock rock is blues based like performing in blackface, but I guess it's just ok.

Dearly beloved, dearly bereaved this one is queer this one's from cleveland, both have the same relevance to me but wait wait what you hate cause of love? what the fuck's up with hate over love? Someday maybe you will understand that Emily's ashley outnumbers you vastly if love in the heart were the same thing as cash she'd be richer than all of you assholes who object dearly beloved, dearly bereaved, like in your bed and stare at the ceiling someday they all will understand

Rock the trains that rattle the rails roll the sound where the tall ships sail what the hell's that half of a whale? That's the one and only tail! Hail the tail!

Little butterflies couldn't tear me from your side, and the micies in the corner, they might as well not even try. but wild horses, I believe they'd do just fine. It's not that difficult to pull a man off a line. Little bluebirds couldn't tear me from your side and the.. crickets in the corner, I'd like to see them try. but wild horses, I believe they'd do just fine. It's not that difficult to pull a man off a line.

Laundry 01:42
Laundry and lover is all that I see the blankets are buildings our limbs are like trees. No space between us, this all is unspoken they're so beautiful, can't you sleep with them open? The window's ajar and the jar it has broken the coins all spilled out so the floor's full of tokens of love and affection, so lucky, but hoping... they're so beautiful, can't you sleep with them open?

Six 01:24
wrap six chains around this box, lay me down, forget me not, say my name and still remember, the things we did in warmer weather... six vines up this hollow tree, say you'll still remember me and the things we did in warmer weather clover blowing in the heather. six new strings on my guitar, how I wonder where you are, say you won't forget the summer (summer, summer sayonara, bid adieu, to the crickets too) burning bright then going under say you're still alive somewhere flowers growing in your hair say you will remember summer insects silent from the thunder I'd wrap a ring around your finger if I thought it would have made you linger

There's a fire in the pines, a good friend of mine. And I don't mind, a little bit of wind, after a swim. There's a fire in your eyes, bottle of wine. And I do admire, a little hint of skin, before a sleep.

Come Come 01:03
Come far away, come close to home, come alone, or with friends. Come every day, or once a year, come with a smile, or with a tear. Come come, Come come.

I wash my feet in the river and my fruit in the stream never was one to get caught up in dream but the lake is littered with lots of little sunbeams the ocean is amazing and I'm sensing a theme maybe today I will heal, maybe today I'll feel real relaxed, just lay by the water... when you're working to eat, eating cause you have to it's easy to resent having to go to the bathroom why can't I just go right where I am? maybe today I will heal, maybe today I'll feel real relaxed, just lay by the water... for better or worse, it's a license, to let yourself go and not have to try since, they have to love you, no matter how bad it gets, yeah right. maybe today I will heal, maybe today I'll feel real relaxed, just lay by the water...

Fish!?! 00:46
They say there's about a million fish in the sea but that doesn't seem accurate to me and that doesn't mean fucking jack to me cause I'm not a fish I need air to breathe I'd rather be happy and alone with me than to be with somebody else in misery but I'd rather be with someone else in misery than to be unhappy and alone with me.

it's raining down in new orleans, and the rain don't care either way i repeat it's raining down in new orleans, just like the last hurricane. (cause god is just a legend and praying won't stop the rain) soon the whole world'll be new orleans, cause measurements don't lie you can spin them anyway you want but that won't keep you high and dry well they say there's no love in this town and you can pray but no one's gonna hear the sound and the rain it just keeps falling down on you

I'm in love 00:21
I'm in love, that doesn't mean that I've got time to waste, so take a plate or take a hike, you can't have just a taste. I'm in love, but I have been in love before, so I know that it's a ladder and not an open door...
22.
I'm not saying existence isn't torture to me, I've lost so much blood here, so many bad memories, that I can't take it all. Can't let myself fall... can't let myself fall in love, oh no. Cause love, when it's good, is better than the beatles. Love, when it's bad, is worse than the needle.

spring it breathes a rage of pink and green whoa oh spread your cherry blossoms over me whoa oh spring is warm and wet and in between whoa oh spread your cherry blossoms, oh, for me...

Leghold Trap 02:01
snicketysnap caught in a leghold trap you're stuck bad and that's just that sink like a stone, you're all alone, chew through the bone if you wanna go home trapped rats collapse with their lips kiss clips never thought it could get half as bad as this to slip at the lip of a six-foot abyss but to be free from your needs is akin to a bliss
