Thank you for
the science dish
the galaxy wish
the jelly fat
I've looked at that
during fishing time
I've tried the wine at supper
fine
I'll stop the chat from chasing mice
and this and that
who's getting trapped?
She's at the door and asking for
a compensationary summation of radical fun
Run as fast as your dad
but you can't eat his whole salary!
Can you prescribe me your diary?
I'll read your phonetical history of how your outfit will impact me
Hey...what's your work schedule for the week?

Hands
03:42

I left my hands to see what they would do
To embrace the world without the anchor they're attached to
They slept on shorelines
My hands came back to see what I would do
To embrace the world with the arms they were attached to
We slept on shorelines
Wrapping strings around the fingers
To see how purple purple can be

Brownfit Cheri
Quite hilarious
If she jumped up and down
It would look like, Brownfit Cheri, is shoveling dirt from the ground
See her frown when her hair tumbles down
With a scissors cut on the front
Does she look better now?
Bring back
80's track
She's so representative of all fashion 25 years ago
Do you think Brownfit Cheri knows?
Does her white trim make her look thin
Or does it make the floor meet your chin?

If You Only Knew

If I could count the times that she had left behind
the modern elements of tending land
Then maybe I'd have come a three time thousandaire
and we'd be settled down and I the man
If I could count the tops she cut to paint them white
I'd run out of numbers after one
Two, and three, and four would all be left to die
And friends would age and we'd run out of time
If you only knew what I'm capable
Then you'd only knew
The broken eyes, and ears, I'm here
she never tried to understand the condiment of tan
We sit and soak and talk about like cone ball fans
And they'd be moving on with their son...
Is it Lee? Or Sam? I don't know?
If you only knew what I'm capable of
Then you'd only knew

Neighbors with Pools

He gets his papers from the local station
He gets his news from the neighbor's pool
Sinks down to the bottom just to read
Looks at the horse and thinks
'I'm a strange, strange neighbor"
He's estranged from the world, but does he know?

Shape Up Shoulders
01:53

We are such shape up shoulders
We are not where we belong
Gravitating toward the big black boulder
Seems like we're stick in the pound
We return to jolly green
Still not where we belong
We are such shape up shoulders
We are not where we belong
We are back and getting older
Feathered hats with decorated shoulders
Gravitating toward the pound
This frown face first in ground
We are such shape up shoulders
We are not where we belong
Gravitating toward a big black boulder
We're still stuck in the pound
We are just, shape up shoulders

Harmony Love
03:40
|
|||
|
The wind used to be against me
The willows would swing away so naturally
The gestures and responsible guesses that I couldn't read
But now there's harmony
The beauty of resting in an empty place
Our words exploring what the mouth can't taste
Oh, harmony love
Not just casual love
Happily exchanging time without misery
Oh, harmony Love
Painting pictures of our favorite place
There's no need to leave
Our eyes will have an escape
Into harmony, not ordinary
Shadows will never cast on this luxury
Oh, harmony love

Piledheads at a pool party
Show on time or show tardy
Guests are naked
Sharing stories
about how they make their money
Piledheads at a pool party

Island Man
02:20
|

Well she asked me to be cool
But I know what isn't true
Well she asked me to be cruel
But I could never do that to you
He is not your island man
Then she asked me if I knew
a way to make it stay
Then she asked me if I knew
if they would ever last
He is not your island man
"If it's good for you, it's not good enough for me"
"Oh, no"
He is not your island man

Do, Do Alone
03:02

Everyones invited
to the party shoppe
Separate conversations
once the party stops
Is it really fun to know you when we've got no place to go?
You end up
sleeping alone
inducing nightmares
You end up
sleeping alone
once the party stops
IT IS really fun to know when we've some place to go

Organization Structure (structure your organization)
They checked all the books
When they washed their hands
They've ignored the numbers
And I hear the secret they keep from me

Teach Her
01:27
|
|||
|
I talk to teach her
But she has good news
She cares about me
And that's all she can
I already feel better
She already feels better (too)
Well let's feel better together?

Seals the Deals

He's never ever coming back
Don't go see him
Don't believe him
He's never coming back
Don't go near him
Don't even think of it
He's never coming back
He's never ever coming back
Don't you cry now
Pretend he's dead somehow
He's never coming back
I stopped trying
Because he's lying
He's never coming back
But if you want to get into his head
Just remember, you don't have to call
And he'll come back to you
He's coming back to you now
