I heard it's getting windy so I'll set and watch you blow
I will chain you to my boat
I will carry you back home
And I won't say I love you cause it's all been said before
Let's not say it anymore
'cause love nothing here's for sure
They treat us like dogs
So we play along
We bark and we moan
And play them more songs
But when we blow away
And get out of this place
We go down like a shower
And up like a prince
I heard it's getting windy and we'll all be blown away
Did you tell me you're afraid?
Darling, you look so afraid
And I'm not sure what happens when everything here ends
But I hope it's like they said
And I hope it never ends
They treat us like gold
Dug up to be sold
We shine and we shake
Assuming our roles
But when we blow away
Up over this place
We go down like a shout
And up like a praise
I know it's hard to see me darling
Let your eyes adjust
If you go blind just trust
You are made out of my dust
I was made out of your dust
And the wind will carry us
In the ocean's evening dust
Up above the mountaintops
He/You will have the both of us
He Will have the both of us
Need I remind you of the silent laugh
The Siamese cat in a pinstriped hat
With a pellet gun
Now it just rains on everyone
Now that you’re happy, I hate your smile
I make you cry, I make you cry
Something’s not the same
Who cracked your egg, who cracked your egg?
The chicken path, chickens hatch
But my rotten bone’s still black
Need I remind you, of a (?)
A cloud of smoke, and a tasteless joke
Now it just rains on everyone
Now it just rains on everyone
I believe in windy days when everything gets blown away oh
Please let me be blown away I
Promise you I'm not afraid
I will sing a circus song
About the birds and lion hearts
But please if I forget to stop
Remind me who I am and what you are
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
I believe in kings and queens
And everything stuck in between
But please if you must take a peek
I heard someone say they couldn't speak,
And I heard someone hear they couldn't hear,
And I saw someone see they couldn't see me,
You see everything here
And I saw someone burning in the bushes,
And I saw someone shining like the sun,
And I saw all the angels circle 'round us,
Up here you see everyone
I saw you floating in a river,
With all the holes inside your boat,
You were swallowed up by alligators,
Up here I watched you float,
I heard someone say I love you,
I saw a man shoot dead another man
And of course a crowd of people joined around it
i'm going green
on a sunday morning
on a sunday morning
i picked apples from your eyes
i walked the streets
my lazy blue-eyed morning
my lazy blue-eyed morning
and i ride donkeys through the fire
do you remember
when i drew us both a raincloud
and we wore it like a gold crown
above the x's on our eyes
we tippy-toed through your tomato garden
in your tomato garden here
is where i wanna die
on a sunday morning
on a sunday morning
on a sunday morning
here i am
the weatherman
here today
and gone tomorrow
tell me what you want to hear
no skies of grey
no clouds of sorrow
a bit of rain
a hurricane
high today
and low tomorrow
let's get the hell on out of here
the day is old new blue and borrowed
a family man
fare weather friend
i fell in love until tomorrow
so take the diamonds from your eyes
they only bring you brighter sorrow
everybody's got a new song
and i almost made something different
but i ain't got that kind of drive
I watched her sleep from the driver's seat
And she turned into an ocean spitting fish into my sea
Oh, how she flickered to remain so young and innocently sweet
And how the secrets in her belly wrestle softly for her keeping
Like the ring that left her finger green
And the knife that sent her shivering body free
Oh, like a knot she tied so sweetly around me
We were aware of our bounderies
Someday I'll meet you on a telephone wire
Won't have to love you through a prayer
I can just touch you with my eyes
And we will talk about the world just as if we were still alive
And you will rest within my feathers
And I will take you for the keeping
And you will fly so sweetly around me
And you will teach me to fly so sweetly around you
And if you talk to Jesus, ask Him if He wants me to come home
If He says He's seen us changing all His plans to suit our own
Will you apologize or stand behind the selfish moves we've made
The joker sprung the flower jaw
The pigeons peeled the colors off
To a song of never mores
I lead a kid through flaming doors
The colors sprung the rooster crow
The fire who surround us both
From a love with seven eyes
Seven stars
And seven sides
The pigeon flew into the fire
The angels slept the babies cried
From the milk the brighter suns
Now it looks like rain for everyone
The joker srpung the flower jaw
You and me we laugh it off
From a song you sang for me
You loved me like a stinging bee
The colors srpung the rooster crow
The fire who surround us both
From the milk of brighter suns
Now it look like rain for everyone
It looks like rain for everyone
i am a coward
overslept for hours
the morning has been sour
the sun has lost its power
maybe i should know better
or maybe we all do
but no one knows better
better than you do
you burn just like the moonshine
you taste just like the old times
but i'm as
blind as a diamond
with a
heart like an island
and the airplanes comes a-crashing
the passengers are laughing
cause my big head came unfastended
from writing happy happy ever afters
though you won't take my name
you won't take my name
you won't take my name
you won't take my name
you won't take my name
you won't take my name
you won't take my name
(one, two, three, four)
hey you with the sun in your eyes
mother warned me you'd be back
and all my twisting for a better life
is only splitting my sides
hey you with your feet on the ground
i always knew that you'd come down
and i've been shaking hands to get inside
but when i finally did i found
i'd rather nobody know my name for now
hey you with the red on your face
you're always running away
no one likes a bleeder what can i say
you bled all over my name
la la la-la-la-la-la-la
la la la-la-la-la-la-la-a-a-a
la la la-la-la-la-la-la
la la la-la-la-la-la-la-a-a-a
hey you with the sun in your eyes
hey you with the sun in your eyes
Hey Mr. Elephant there's been an accident down here
You and your trickery played a trick on me down here
Hey, Mr. Elephant it's important that you see
That there is a big reward if you cooperate with me
Hey, Mr. Flower Jar there's a curtain call out here
You made it look so real we could almost feel you here
Hey, Mr. Flower Jar we've all cleared a space for you
You've got a heart of gold and your performance souls can do ??
I will give you all of this
If you will praise me
If you will praise
Like an airplane
There's a northern town where my rents all paid
And an endless day where my love awaits
She's been working so hard, she's been working so hard
She's been working so hard, she's been working so hard
And she loves all my mistakes and
She loves the mess I've made and
She loves me more than heaven and
She loves me more than love and
She loves me more than life and
She loves me more than pain and
She loves me more than heaven
And I love her more than hell
And she loves me more than God
She loves me more than God, I know
She loves me more than God
And I love her all
Who will shadow you home
These streets are getting crazy
I've got air pollution in my mouth
And it's getting tired of waiting
Until our youth burns away
You'll stay here beside me
And let the city lights keep rhythm
With the beating heart inside me
You were made out of my ribs
We share a heart, we share the stars
I'll wrap you tight around my wrist
To keep you pumping through my arms
You were made out of my ribs
We share a heart, we share the stars
I'll wrap you tight around my wrist
To keep you pumping through my, pumping through my arms
You were made out of my ribs
We share a heart (x14)
You, me, and all the kings and queens
Buried in the junkyard,
And every time the herald Cherub sings
We rattle with the car parts
I was born to lie here patiently
Be dragged on by the black star
And you were told to glow majestically
And love until your hands bleed
You stole your mother's whitest gown
Swallowed like a sunbeam
And I stole your father's crusted crown
It shook us like a bad dream
They warned to lie impatiently
Waiting for the big swing
And you were more than dressing for a feast
Eat until your teeth bleed
Oh my royalty my hand goes out to you
You look painfully true
But I saw you cry
Like you used to laugh
When you looked around
Were you looking back
At a lonely love
As to sprouting beans
No one's quite as bloom
As they play to be
I would love to stay
But my work is through
I'm the truest song
Angel, way before there was goodness
Way before there was sadness
You were just like one of us
You were here stuck among us
You were one time a killer
An untrustable stealer
An unswayable doubter
So don't be so hard on us
Angel, way before there was darkness
Way before there was lightness
You were an in-betweener
You were riding the dog fence
You were no more and no less
You were no more and no less
You were just like one of us
So don't be so hard on us
Way before
We took your arms
Way before
We played the harp
You were so in-between
Oh dear little bit believer
I'm looking for a leader
Way before we took your arms
Way before we played the harp
You were so in-between
Oh dear, little bit believer
I'm here looking for a leader
Way before we took your arms
Oh dear soul,
We gather in the wind,
Clap your hands, it's all just like they said
And how good it is to be with you again
Clap your hands, it's better than they said
Oh dear soul,
We're caught up in the trees,
Look at me and tell me what you see
Praise to you, praise to me
Oh dear soul,
You blow just like the leaves
And they glued us in forever
Just like they said they'd do
So we will stick together
Praise to me, praise to you
Oh dear soul,
I owe you to the breeze,
Take my hand,
There between your teeth,
And hold on hard, you don't need to speak
Praise to you, for giving praise to weak
Praise to you, for giving praise to weak
Praise to you, for giving praise to weak
Praise to you, for giving praise to weak
I'll shed a feather for the lord
And I'll blow the trumpet on the shore
Just like the birds do in the morn
I'll be a savior and I'll be your ??
You'll be a diamond in the sand
And all of the finders will clap their hands
Glory abounds us we found dry land
And all of us finders will clap our hands
And all of us finders will clap our hands
You stood beside a burning bush
And let the trumpetmen catch fire
You squeezed a flood out of a stone
And all the people drank it dry
So all the ships returned to land
The birds could swim
The fish could fly
The angels couldn't understand
How everyone could get it right
Circus composer, you let us get closer
You stood below a tangerine
And let the fruit roll melt away
And all the world was you
And we thought it were better anyway
Circus composer, could you write this all down?
You let us get closer,
You let us be found
Circus composer, could you make me a star?
Blue eyes full of beggars table legs
Blue eyes always standing in the rain
Blue eyes no one knows where they have been
Blue eyes couldn't choose a better name
Always singing someone else's song
Blue eyes hasn't got one of her own
Blue eyes gone as high as they can go
Blue eyes horns are never gonna blow
Didn't you hear it's all a joke
Apples in a cloud of smoke
You'll wait forever in your home
Blue eyes there's no shining cup of gold
Blue eyes it doesn't matter where you go
Go ahead and blow as hard as you can blow
Casting day
Who do you wanna be
In that crooked after life
At the bottom of the sea
You could be
A mother or a brother to me
The stranger drowning next to me
At the bottom of the sea
You can put me on the list
Or maybe scratch me off of it
God oh God
You look so sad and beautiful
Bleeding yourself inside out
Oh what a funny little thing
You could be
The magic man with dancing sheep
In that crooked after life
At the bottom of the sea
If you can tell the sun to shine
Why can't you give me peace of mind
(la da da da ya...)
Thank you all for taking me so seriously
For coming along with me
Dear chin up
It's wet dog afternoon and it smells like this
Just because you wanna do you feel big enough
And the wretch you got the shocker
When the sinkers swam
You couldn't get them all to stop
You ran home my love
When the horns began to blow you were late again
For the constellations show
Now your done my love
They won't open up the gates away
All you want
They warn you never to be late babe
Now it looks like rain for the both of us
Now it looks like rain for all of us
Beautiful lungs you sang such a pretty song
It goes on and on and yet it never feels too long
You feel small my love climbing up a yellow spine
Your not tall enough to say you've ever seen the sky
So run home my sweet
I blow other horns to blow it was all a tease
And we're all laughing at you now but we're done
My love go and get yourself some sleep
I still love you dear
Perhaps it gets the best of me sometimes
Whes it looks like you're about to cry
When it looks like you're about to cry
It looks liek you're about to cry
It looks like you're about to cry
In the backyard, the dogs bark
And in the upsky, planes fly
But there's a downside to the upside here in the sea
'Cause when you stay here, you really stay here
But when you get out, you never get out
You'll soon go crazy, fetching daisies all the year
To my left side there's a hurricane
And to my right side, it's too dry again
But in the middle, it feels a little bit like home
Where I'm the weather, weather man
The family, family man
The drunken, drunken man
Yeah, I'm the bad news bear
In the green grass, the days pass
And in the red sheets, your feet creak
But what's the matter? You look so sadder when you laugh
When you come down, you really come down
And when you get up, you think you get up
I shouldn't tell you, but oh hell, you had to ask
It's my cloudhead like the book said
Making circles, turning purple.
I always exit wearing X's 'cross my eyes.
Like the weather, weather man
The family, family man
The drunken, drunken man
You're like the bad news bear
It feels a little bit like home [x4]
Where I'm the weather, weather man
The family, family man
The drunken, drunken man
Rubber balls for your saddest eyes
The sun and moon lead the saddest lives
Jesus Christ: I'm so happy when you cry
Going up or coming down
I've got good news
somehow I've found
Hallelugh, I'm so happy when you frown
Jesus Christ: it feels so nice to break a heart once or twice
When the sky gets the sun all in your eyes
Here I stand, the weather man
I'll touch the sun with my bare hands
Jesus Christ: no one ever understands
Rubber balls, for your saddest eyes
the happy ones lead the saddest lives
In my wet dog sky of blue I can see you at the gate
In the red eye dawning dew where you always sit and wait
For the passing of the broken heart parade
I would kiss the devils cheek to get this halo off of me
And in my twisted after life you would be my family tree
And we'll both walk around with our tails between our legs
We could rattle our pans at the gate my dear
But the ruby ring man doesn't know we're here
I thought he knew my name
Strange he wouldn't even look my way
Someone got their fingerprints on my happy ending song
Christ and all his ruby rings told me I should hang it up
Because I lie so well I even start to buy it too
I lie so well I even start to buy it too
And when the trumpets swing my ears start to bleed
I'm hanging upside down in a famous dream
I see so many things
The fields so green as the magnet
Now everyones trying this magic
A big man is pullin out rabbits from under his sleeve
He's famous you see
What he can do with a magic ring
I am the stage fright comedian
That nobody wants to go see again
My jokes are so long out of season but they're laughing at me
I'm funny you see
Everyone throw all your bones to me
I know the jokers joke is just the beggers beg
But damn a liars only as good as he can fake
The eye in the sky is a magnet
Now I have been forming a habit
Of reaching up and trying to grab it
But it closes on me
He's getting famous you see
But no one gives a damn of what he's doing to me
The fields so green as the magnet
Now everyones trying this magic
A big man is pullin out rabbits from under his sleeve
He's famous you see
No one really cares of what he's doing to me
(la da da...)
I know the jokers joke
I know the beggers beg
I know the liars lie and I know the saints fate
I know the jokers joke
I know the beggers beg
Little dove to the belly of the fish
You'll get used to it
I cracked your egg to hear you chirp again
Now I'm losing it
It rains the most on the head of the weatherman
I boast the ghost who was spit out of his own skin
Now you look like me chasing rabbits
Up and down the trees
Soon my habits will find you my darling
Underneath the leaves
I feel so big my own two feet can walk
On the waters back
I shut the gate to watch you wait
Oh God
Felt so good I had to stop
Before I got to carried away
I laughed. ha ha
It's the joke I shouldn't play
Now you look like me chasing rabbits
Up and down the trees
Soon my habits will find you my darling
Underneath the leaves
Now you look like me chasing rabbits
Up and down the trees
Soon my habits will find you my darling
mother
push-a push-a
square into a circle
there's-no there's-no
no-no-need
for you to worry
i'll be better when i'm older
i don't need no one to hold me
we all die the same way don't we
we'll all go to heaven won't we
that's what some old devil told me
i couldn't tell if he was joking
i bet he was
i bet he was
brother
you don't you don't
look like all the others
it don't it don't
matter it's just that it's wonder
everybody's getting younger
making love or making lovers
you're just waiting for your number
for someone to put you under
i won't laugh but it's quite funny
how you enjoy being unlucky
you know you do
i know you do
we know you do
I've got a blue eyed sun
He burns the same for everyone
I had a new best friend
He went and let me down again
I've got a green green grass
It grows so tall and grows so fast
You've got a crooked tooth
He loves you straighter than I do
When I see my blue
I still think of you
I've got a black out name
But hand me down I have no say
A hat and rabbit magic show
Magic hand won't let me go
When I shape my trail
You'll be the first to know
And when you wag your tail up at the blue eyed sun
I see angels quickly picking up their guns
How could the sky be blue for everyone at once
I've got a blackout name it can't be the one you want
You are my red-eyed pea
My red strawberry seed
The peach on my family tree
You are my blue-eyed seed
You are my bee-like buzz
Soft as the hummers’ hum
The beat of the drummers’ drum
The red of the new blue sun
You were born in golden name
To shake the golden out of me
A violin of sin or swim
Or sink or sing or just for me
A water wing or guarded lover
Love to me you’ll always be
My dirty diamond golden eyelid
Dying right in front of me
Mother keep pushing, I see a crown
The stress from your casting is beautiful now
Give him a blanket, he’ll always be fed
But he’ll never make it cause of all that we did
We’ll give him a blood trail, give him a name
A house in the quicksand, a parade in the rain
A brother, a sister who’ll get just the same
And we’ll tell them we’re sorry they got hooked to our chain
You were born in golden name
To shake the golden out of me
A violin of sin or swim
Or sink or sing or just for me
A water wing or guarded lover
Love to me you’ll always be
My dirty diamond golden eyelid
I am blowing for a trumpet
Hallelujah
You stood too close to the sunset
And it finally outgrew you
So now I paint you on my doorpost
Like I knew you
I make all of the right noises
But they never make it to you
I'm as heavy as a feather
Hallelujah
You're a confused little soldier
And the bullets go right through you
So now I march you to a tin pan
Through the alley
So the death angel understands
That I'm gonna take you afloat
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
I am sinking for the sunset
Hallelujah
You've been deafened by these trumpets
But my love I'll listen for ya
So I can paint you on my doorpost
Like I knew you
I make all of the right noises
But my love they go right through you
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
We will rejoice
Hallelujah
We Will rejoice
Hallelujah
We Will rejoice
Hallelujah
We Will rejoice
Hallelujah
Little one
Move along
Your my last crooked song
Pluck your eyes from your dreams
There's a circus where my head should be
Little one
Cloud of smoke
Up so high
Where'd you go
Here's the sun
I'll be damned
And the clouds for where your head will land
I'm pulling my eyes
From the hole in the sky
So nobody knows
How high I can fly
Little one
One of war
You can't blow your trumpet anymore
Apple seed
Apple seed
Your a right where my head should be
I'm pulling
(pulling my eyes)
My eyes from the hole in the sky
So nobody knows
(nobody knows)
Swing, like a chariot
At the trumpet call
When we're all on saved, swing ??
Like a wrecking ball
Like the heart of god
What a mystery
Filled with the wedding feast
For the snakes and bees
With the angel teeth, swing
Come and carry us
Come and marry us
To the blushing circus king
And dance like elephants as he comes to us
Through a fiery golden ring
With a violin and a song to sing
As he brings for us our wings
Now he's one of us
Plays the tambourine
Breaks the bread for us
And sings
Will you wait for us
Will you stay for us
Will you grace us everything
You're a wrecking ball
With a heart of gold
People wait for it, swing
Like a chariot
Swing it low for us
Come and carry us away
So we will become a happy ending
So we will become a happy ending
Fire come and carry us
Make us shine or make us rust
Tell us that you care for us
We need to hear a word for us
Let your body stand with us
Or let our rags be turned to dust
Chariot you swing for us
We think that you can carry all of us
So we will become a happy ending
So we will become a happy ending
So we will become a happy ending
Oh my artist why are you so sad
With your paint smears and your siamise cat
You should paint a bigger heart
Swallow down to your chest
Maybe even a halo above your head
Oh my piano why are you so cruel
It's so hard getting to know you
You can be with a brighter one
Who knew to play you so good
You could sound so beautiful
You would
Oh my actress why you act so blue
With your sun beams and your silver spoon
You could act like the mountain tops
You could act like the queen
don'tcha-don'tcha-don'tcha see sunshine
a yellowish one time it's gonna be all right
cause i can-i can-i can see big hearts
swinging like bright stars
up over the sky wire
can'tcha-can'tcha-can'tcha hear big dreams
whenever the bell rings
it's gonna be all right
cause i can-i can-i can see big hearts
stumming like soft harps
away in the sunlight
maybe i'm a rich or a poor one
but i'm a want more one
i'm gonna be all right
cause everybody's gettin' in trouble
for thinking in double
we want everything twice
maybe all of us have a big heart
but use but a small part
and maybe it's all right
cause i can-i can-i can see sunshine
a devil-ish good time's
away in the sunlight
don'tcha-don'tcha-don'tcha feel better
you look so much better
There's a little yellow room
With a head tied to the moon
I've gone dry to a bone for you
For you
There's a belly to the sea
And an apple to my eye
And a flag for you and me
Oh my
Oh my
Little dove
(little dove boomerang)
Boomerang
May we laugh
(may we laugh at the song)
At the song you sang
I told a lie that someone bought
So here's another but this is
All I got
So hear it's all a joke
That I just wasn't supposed to make
Apples in a cloud of smoke so fake
I'm so fake
Little dove
(little dove boomerang)
Boomerang
May we laugh
At the song you sang
I told a lie that someone bought
So here's another but this is
All I've got
So here's another this is all I've got
I saw the sky last night
I'd never felt so bright
I'd never felt so right not knowing anything
Down, down inside the earth
Some god is gonna burst
Into a sea of white, not being anything
You know what I think of you
Better than I do
You told me that you do and I swallow everything
I'd believe in anything
Just to feel some sting
But I can't believe in you so just get rid of me
I saw the sky near the black smoke when I was just a young one
Lifted so high from a cushion of what, you were my loved one
Down in the earth, we were covered in dirt with other done ones
I'll see the sky near the black smoke when I am just a gone one
I took a bite of the sun and shone to kingdom come
Where all my words begun not meaning anything
You and your diamond eye
Never saw so bright
Never felt so blind while seeing everything
I saw the sky near the black smoke when I was just a young one
Lifted so high from a cushion of what, you were my loved one
Down in the earth, we were covered in dirt with other done ones
You and me
We’re blue and green
Without a diamond ring
A yellow ball
Of tangerines
Around the sunbeams swing
Mocking birds
With crooked words
Flying barefoot speak
They tangle you
They tangle me
In honeysuckle weeds
The salt sea breeze
Castle queen
Sleeping on a cloud
The drummers drum
The hummers hum
Hey, hey, hey, you on the trampoline
Trying to see everything
Hey, hey, hey, sweet little Cherubin
Where has your papa been?
You've got the keys to his chariot
And I bet it looks hilarious
To watch it drag the terriers
And all the bugs that fair the earth
Through all the dams and barriers
Turn the vessel upside down
Turn the vessel upside down
Let us swim or let us drown
I am lost but I have found
(you) burn right through my palms
You burn right through my palms
Hey, hey, hey, you on the trampoline
Up above everything
Hey, hey, hey, sweet little Cherubin
Wanting to be let in
Be careful what you ask for
Because it burns right up your walls
It burns right up your walls
And I bet it looks hilarious
To watch it drag the terriers
And all the bugs that fair the earth
Through all the dams and barriers
Turn the vessel upside down
Turn the vessel upside down
Let us swim or let us drown
I am lost but I have found
Burn right down my walls
You burn right down my walls
You burn right down my walls
You left a bad, bad sound in my mouth
From all the talk-a, talk-a, talking out-louds
When momma warned me not to peep out of sound
You made a bad, bad sound in her mouth
They left a big, big hole in our wall
And always swinging like a wrecking ball
Oh, how the world looks from ten feet tall
Oh, how I never meant to feel so small
There was green on the grass
There was blue in the sky, so high
And I was sliding around
They were calling me down the way
We left a trail, a trail of feet on the ground
From all the stomp, stomp, stomping around
We got and would've never been found
We left a trail, a trail of feet on the ground
We took a little bit of hell from the fire
It burned us all for being gluttoning liars
While all the squeaky cleaners went somewhere higher
All of us dirty birdies flew in the fire
There was green on the grass
There was blue in the sky, so high
And I was sliding around
They were calling me down the way
There was green on the grass
There was blue in the sky, so high
And I was sliding around
They were calling me down the way
i do say wolf
when the sky falls down
and i'm upside down
with the sounds i've found
i could take from you
you could take from me
i could fake in you
you can fake in me
but the wind don't blow
and the sun don't shine
so no body knows
it's the summertime
may i die
in the summertime
may your eyes
know which glow is mine
may i die
in the summertime
may your eyes
know which glow is mine
i do cry wolf
when the sun comes up
did you hear the birds
damn near fell in love
but i've read my books
thought i'd grown so smart
but i shake all night
when the room gets dark
i can't sleep
at all through the night
i can't sleep
at all through the night
i'll be gone
by the summertime
may your heart
be apart from mine
i can say wolf
when the sky is gold
when the moon explodes
when the sun turns cold
and i'm upside down
to the right-side-ups
when you turn around
Dawn do bring the rooster and it's crow
Made a wind that wasn't supposed to blow
You laughed and laughed but never got the joke
Can't repeat it now I don't even know
I blew a trumpet for a sound you never wanted to see
Now the apples out of season and it's standing underneath it's tree
So I'm trying not to pick em cause I know that's only sick n me
But oh before you know it I am half way up the apple tree
To a cloudy cloudy mountain from a murky water fountain a grew
With a pigeon on my shoulder all the colors that's so strange and new
So I collected all my apples in a basket for to bring to you
Mr violin I loved you
From a tree top
In a fish gnaw
I was high on my own big thoughts
What if the sun drops
What if my hearts stops
Mr violin you almost hit a bum note
With your band boat
I was high on the whole big show
What if my soul sinks
What if my heart floats
For the sun did swing
Like a tangerine
Til we couldn't grab on to the burning ring
Mr dancing bear I loved you
In a flower patch where the birds hatch
I was crooked to the green grass
What if the day ends whenever my hearts black
Mr dancing bear they almost called you magic
Out of habit
I was sore from all the laughing
I loved you in habit and banked on your magic
For the sun did swing like the tangerine
Til we couldn't grab on to the burning ring
Every crooked tooth
Kept our lips from trueth
I had almost survived and so did you
....
But the rings in between the ol' family tree
Are crooked for you as they're crooked for me
You get what you get when you bite from the tree
A crookeder you and a crookeder me
The rings in between the ol' family tree
Are crooked for you as they're crooked for me
You get what you get when you bite from the tree
A crookeder you and a crookeder me
They want a crookeder you and a crookeder me
They want a crookeder you and a crookeder me
They want a crookeder you and a crookeder me
if you can find the soft in the red of your heart
then i can find the skin on my teeth
everybody's good everybody s bad
but everybody looks like a thief
so who really cares if the sun don't shine who really cares if the sun don't shine
if you can make a bet and place yourself out of debt
then i am the million dollar man
everybody's rich everybody's poor
but everybody holds out their hand
so who really cares if we don't get high
who really cares if we don't get low
who really cares if the sun don't shine
who really cares if the moon don't glow
who really cares if we don't go up
who really cares if we don't go down
who really cares if we can't stay up
the ladder man is climbing for a little sunlight
it doesn't even matter if i'm faking a good time
as long as you can keep up with the up ahead times
you're gonna be just fine
monkey man is look for a bit of trouble
everybody is living from inside of a bubble
as long as they can keep the people seeing double
gonna be just fine
gonna be just fine
but we know
better than
to believe
a weatherman
get inside
ya gotta stay dry
not to be
the wetter man
catch you when you're sliding for a little daylight
and all you want to do is get away from the bird's eye
you're never gonna keep up with the over ahead times
you know they're up so high
you know they're up so high
but we know
better than
to believe
a weatherman
get inside
ya got stay dry
not to be
the wetter man
now we know
better than
to believe
in a higher man
don't look up
ya gotta feel big
not to see
I will sing a song to you
And you will shake the ground for me
And the birds and bees and old fruit trees
Will spit out songs like gushing streams
And Jesus will come through the ground so dirty
With worms in his hair and a hand so sturdy
To call us his magic we call him worthy
Jesus came up through the ground do dirty
I will sing a song for to you
And you will stomp your feet for me
And the bears and bees and banana trees
Will play kazoos and tambourines
And Jesus will dance while we drink his wine
With soldiers and thieves and a sword in his side
And we will be joy and we will be right
Jesus will dance while we drink his wine
Jesus will come through the ground so dirty
With worms in his hair and a hand so sturdy
To call us his magic we call him worthy
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty
Here's a telephone
Here's a window
Here's a little dove to tell you how the wind blows
I've got a black heart I've got a shadow
I've got little dove that drags me up a ladder
You've got a halo
A heart of gravel
Little worms come out my darling rotten apple
I pluck the heart strings until my hands bleed
But when that eye blinks I'll be buried in the tree leaf
Here's a flag for my darling soldier
Here's a little dove to land upon your shoulder
My precious children you know I love you
But I've got news I'm gonna have to get rid of you
You thought you knew me
I thought I knew you
The little dove came down and right away out threw you
I've got a black heart
I got a shadow
I send a little dove to push you down the ladder
Little bell don't you get so worked up at all
But fire in hell is waiting just to burn us
We can't jump and yell no ones looking for us
Blue eyes when the wind was done
You were lying like a soldier
In the grass, in the grass,
Like the war was over
Blue eyes when you took a breath
It was heavy on my shoulder
Clap your hands, clap your hands
It looks like the worst is over
Blue eyes when the wind was here
You were blown just like a feather
In the trees, in the trees
You were caught inside forever
Blue eyes when you hold your breath
I can breath in deeper
Clap your hands, clap your hands
The grass doesn't get no greener
Blue eyes when the wind was done,
You were carried on my shoulder
Praise the land, praise the land
And all of its placeholders
We were a stone
‘Til they broke our bones
We got warm
Knowing not to know
And we were broke
We’ll always be alone
We were the snow
Til we found a home
All the stones
Everybody knows
Blessed snow (?)
You’ll never see them glow
But our hearts
Are never gonna grow
To the stars
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
when did your eyes' glaze dull
my Antarctica
they're treating you like a dog
and you just play along
oh noble man of god
your face is getting old
you led us to water
but left us in dry holes
when did your eyes' glaze dull
my Antarctica
my beloved home
they treat you like a dog
my Antarctica
my beloved home
they treat you like a dog
forgive me if I join along
you take your mother's hat
and I'll wear your father's shoes
they're treating you like a dog
they're stretching you in two
oh noble man of god
your heart has been untrue
you promised us sunshine
and we believed you
when did your eyes' glaze dull
my Antarctica
my beloved home
they treat you like a dog
my Antarctica
my beloved home
they treat you like a dog
I'm sorry if I joined along
I'm sorry if I joined along
I'm sorry if I joined along
I'm sorry if I joined along
Oh, how we lay like spoiled skin beneath the leaves
Oh, how the ring will never fit the finger properly
If I could rip it from its bond
I'd tie your eyes to me so tight
Because the years are getting slower
Oh, I'm a suitcase with the hinges bursting free
As to say you're stuffed too full
You have to give your lover's throat away
So through each pore I sweat the linger of your love away
So fast because our love is getting slippery
Somehow the sky is holding up the heavens
But I can't get the ground to hold the earth up anymore
And all our friends are finding life inside the ocean
But my pockets scream you can't afford to live there anymore
For all of my life I will keep you in my lower leg
Where all my sins are piled right up to my shoulder blade
And I will visit you with thoughts of the left side of my brain
You were my beliefs all rusting over
And I was the support within your spine.
We noticed that the stars were all exploding
So we stared into the sky until we were blind
Then cut off both of our arms and reached for nothing
And rewound the frames that twisted in our minds
And we watched seperate lives in backwards motion
So we ended up connected at the sides
I wondered if the sky was just a ceiling
And you wondered if the ground was just a floor
Oh how the world will make a fool of a believer
I was a believer once before
You will come home x8
But the airways in our stomachs (You will come home)
Never seemed to find it funny (You will come home)
As we'd float above the ocean (You will come home)
While I loved you from a corner (You will come home)
Through the bricks and through the borders (You will come home)
Without motions (You will come home)
So we'll place all our remains (You will come home)
Within a freezer (You will come home)
And believe that they won't spoil (You will come home)
And I'll trade being your spine (You will come home)
With another one who thinks (You will come home)
That he can keep your bones aligned (You will come home)
And I'll watch until he finds that (You will come home)
I'm your home (You will come home)
When you curse your name
I'm a receiver
When your heart won't change
I'm a receipt
Do I love like a stranger?
The world keeps getting stranger all the time
And the distance is greater
Than any rope I ever tied around your waist to keep our tumbles in rhythm (Rhythm)
In rhythm (Rhythm)
Oh a heart is a pocket for loose change
We scrape and we save and we wait for a raise
Did you watch as our muscles divided
In rhythm (Rhythm)
In rhythm (Rhythm)
I cursed being a man
I cursed being the driver
I let go of the wheel some time last year
Then I sang to you in shifts
Until the mountains folded over
And your wrongs went through my wrist so you could sin
I love the world
i once adored a chemical reaction
her eyes were made from pieces of the moon
but now i fight the angels for a halo
she feels that she has nothing left to prove
we once owned dreams of being something useful
a sword someone would keep at their side
a friction that would spark a revolution
a radio in tune with the sky
well we tried
now everyone can share what's left
we can share a breath
we can share the air pollution
and we can all control the sun
that's what we'll become
you'll become a resolution
oh i adore a chemical reaction
her features look just like my disguise
we see the world through identical lenses
so i never ask what's going through her mind
it's mine
now everyone can share what's left
we can share a breath
we can share the air pollution
and we can all control the sun
that's what we'll become
you'll become a resolution
now everyone can share what's left
we can share a breath
we can share the air pollution
and we can all control the sun
that's what we'll become
soon your love will turn into the interruption
and your faith will turn into a lover's face
but if you find someone that you can place your trust in
will you call and let me know that he
exists
soon your heart will turn into a stranger's mystery
and your wrongs will hang a stranger from a tree
but if it feels as though there must be something missing
then you must know how it would feel to be complete
and I'd love to believe that he loves you so sweet
as he slides through your throat and finds life
where the streets are all twisting
and buildings are missing
and no one is really alive
just their souls
your soul was the auto
your flesh the break pedal I know
god loves as a stranger
god loves as creator I know (x2)
(doot doot)
soon your love will turn into the interruption
and your faith will turn into a lover's face
but if you find someone that you can place your trust in
will you call and let me know that he
Your mother's voice was bleeding through the ceiling
As we rolled around along the kitchen floor
We could see your father in the backyard kneeling
Funny your mother doens't kneel much anymore
But I pushed myself right through you for the first time
And I told you that I'd never be untrue
And I held you like I never had before
Sister found the pills now for the first time
We all loved her more by her hospital bed
Father had a seat upon the right side
As Mother loved her dearly from her left
Then her heart had burst into a sea of softness
And it swallowed up the whole world all at once
We were closer than we'd ever been before
We were younger than we'd ever been before
i saw a flower on the doorstep
making love with the sun
and it turned into a garden
when they were done
so they'll construct themselves a home
all made of water, soil, and air
there the cycle has begun
until the good starts making well with all the evil
we remain as two
she left a flower in my suitcase with a picture of us both
so i just cut it into halves
i set her half inside a heaven sort of place
and i just threw mine in the flames
and if they give to you your wings
will you think
to give to me your arms
and if they let you keep your shell
can i take and wear it as my guard
and wear it as my guard
i saw a flower on the doorstep
making love with the sun
and it turned into a garden
when they were done
so now the sun goes out each night when all the flowers are fast asleep
here the cycle has begun
until the good starts making well with all the evil
we remain
a double-sided frame
until the good starts making well with all the evil
we remain
there's a narrow bridge that leads me to your door
between the apple trees and poison leaves that form
around my shoulders as they toss me back and forth
they bring me pleasure and they always keep me
warm
warm
there's a cashman
there are quick cures
there are taste tests
there are trashwhores
there is numbness
there is feeling
there is sickness
there is healing
and i'm halfway to you
but i'm takin' a break
where i walk with a limp
and i sleep with the stakes
and i blow up my lungs
with the air that i need
and my dreams i'm on knees
and i'm washing your feet
with my hair
and i'm not pleased with all of my addictions
all of my addictions
all of my addictions
and i'm not pleased with all of my addictions
all of my addictions
all of my addictions
there are sunbeams
there are dark clouds
there are voices
there are no sounds
and i'm stable
so you want me
yes i'm stable
while you want me
and i'm upright
while you're downsized
while you're downsized
i am upright
i'm the cashman
you're quick cure
you're taste test
and i'm the trashwhore
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
as you are
