Rothko
04:16
|
|||
Muted canvases on the wall
How your hues explain it all
Thought I was the only one
Who could mourn a setting sun
Who could mourn what's long been done
So I close my eyes to see
Through the foggy mystery
Like a broken obelisk
Dr. King would take the risk
Then Dr. King was laid to rest
Metal moon up above
Gypsy burn with love
Evermore
May we bend and brake
It's the risk we take
To be more than just awake
To be more than just awake
To be more than just awake
Gentle pull upon my ear
Telling me that someone's here
If you see the Rothko man
Tell him I did understand
Tell him I hope he's alright
Send my thanks to him tonight

Run Run Run

Run run run
It's over now
You've had your fun fun fun
And you're out somehow
What to do
Now that he's gone
My guess it's up to you
To carry on
Some days you wander the bluer waters
They days you knew I wandered the greener pastures
Abide my spirit take my heart and bleed for what you need
Take what you need
My, my, my
My masochist
Is whispering "why why why this fated twist?"
But why ask why?
What's done is done
You've got enough to try
To overcome
Some days you wander the bluer waters
The days you knew I wandered the greener pastures
Abide my spirit take my heart and bleed for what you need
Take what you need
Run run run
It's over now
You've had your fun fun fun
And you're out somehow

Brooklyn Song
04:14
|
|||
My quick step flip-flop captain
Your princess has a stone stuck in her shoe
And you're wondering what happened
'Cause I agree to take a walk 'round your part of town with you
But by the time we get to Brooklyn
I think I'll have fallen in love
We walked by the Dakota
We talked about our favorite Lennon songs
When you held my hand in your hand
I imagined growing old along with you
Then we ran to catch the Q train
We picked it up at the Carnegie Hall
Where the steel drum plays Tchaikovsky
And down down babies slumbering babies chaos and all
And by the time we get to Brooklyn
I think I'll have fallen in love
Easy come and easy going
Even if it lasts a moment
Heaven knows I took a couple for the team
Had a drunkard and a drifter
A gold digger and a gifter
Even one who couldn't help but make a scene
Why'd my baby treat me oh so mean?
And on the train ride back from Brooklyn
I happily had fallen out of love
You're just about to get me
I'm just about to see you as you really are
This is just about my favorite part
When the darkness of the tunnel turns to bright blue light of day

Kid
04:01
|
|||
Close my eyes kid
Love is blind kid
And you've got mine kid
Joys and pain girl
Life's a game girl
Can't complain girl
Take my leave now
Hard to see how
Father mine, wow
Lead my hand somehow
It's ok
It's ok
until you come I wait
Until you come
I wait

Sweet Louise
04:10
|
|||
You take one step out the door
And i'm warning you, you ain't coming back
You try my patience and more
And the last three days have been a heart attack
Chorus:
Do you believe in me?
Do I belong to you?
Are you my sweet Louise"
Who's tempting and taking her precious time, precious time
As one hand shakes to hold on
And the other one is letting you go
You have my blessing go on
Go and realize what we all must know
Chorus
And the rain might flow
And the crickets go
To the beat of the drum
And the rain will come from light
Come from light
And the right might flow
And the crickets go
To the beat of the drum
And the rain will come from light
You're alive
You're alive
Are you my sweet Louise?
Who's tempting and taking her precious
Tempting and taking your precious
Tempting and taking her time

Trouble
04:07
|

See the trouble with this conversation
Is that it's nearing to an end
IAnd the trouble with getting to know you
Is it's getting harder to pretend
That I know I don't own you a thing
Ain't got no ring on my finger to say
That I gotta go your way
Just got the way that you whisper
'Hey baby do you want to?'
When you know I do
And the trouble with having a whisky
Is that one ain't never enough
And the trouble with having one with me
Is that soon you'll call my bluff
And the trouble with getting you going
Is that the going does get rough
And I know you don't owe me a thing
Ain't got no ring on your finger to say
That you wanna go my way
Just got the way that you whisper
'Hey baby do you want to ?'
When you know I do
I do
I do
And the trouble with having you over
Is that sonn you'll have to leave
And the trouble with having a beating heart
Is when I wear mine on my sleeve
Don't I know you don't owe me a thing
Ain't got no ring on your finger to say
That you gotta go my way
And most love is incomplete
And it knows me off my feet
But the chills can be so sweet
What do you say baby
Do you want ?

Traffic Jam

|

Traffic jam
In this unknown land
But we've got time, we've got time
To stand
All this time, all this time
At hand
Next to me
Mr. Serenity
Feeling fine, feeling fine
To me
Very fine, very fine
To me
Chorus:
And you say don't worry, don't worry
It's all gonna be ok
You say don't worry, don't worry
It's all gonna be ok
I feel my worry, my worry
It all starts to fade away
Honestly
I'm all 'bout honesty
But I've got lies in my life
Lately
Little lies in my life
Lately
Silhouette
Am I ready yet?
Have I love to find you yet?
Must be love to find you yet
Chorus
Traffic jam
In this unknown land
About time, about time
About time, about time

Kinski's Three
04:57
|
|||
Honestly honestly
You got a right to be
The way you want to be
It's you and me and Kinski's three
They say he's crazy
I guess he's crazy
But he's just like you
And he's just like me
And it's just like how we imagined it would be
In a vision of and about our love
And it came so naturally
And it happened accidentally
And it was so right for me
They all said 'girl, dream on'
They all said 'girl, dream on'
Symphony carry me
Into a choral sea
Give me a place to be
Destiny, I hear my destiny
A hundred voices strong
A hundred years beyond
And it echoes you
And it echoes me
And it echoes how we imagined it would be
In a vision of and about our love
And it came so naturally
And it happened accidentally
And it was so right for me
Klaus-ey baby
Drive me crazy
Take the wheel for me
And he said 'girl, dream on'
The choir sang 'girl, dream on'
We all sing 'girl, dream on and on and on and on...'

Venus Rising
05:04
|
|||
Gone, nothing's gone
It's just one thought away
Wrong, nothing's wrong
There's just nothing more to say
And sometimes I just don't know no I just don't know
If the way that I'm headed is the way I want to go
The way that I'm going is the way I ought to go
You say Vedic scripture should tell me so
And that the stars in the sky they'll realign
And the moon and the sun do tend to collide
Well i'm sorry to tell you
I don't really believe you
But you're kind to try and convince me so
Oh, oh, so kind
Oh, oh, so kind
Time, it's just time
And it marches along
Fine, I feel fine
I feel willful and strong
And sometimes I just don't know no I just don't know
If the way that I'm headed is the way I want to go
The way that I'm going is the way I ought to go
You say Big Black Book it tells us so
And that a long time ago in a far off land
Lived a great superpower with a rib in his hand
And then I came into being cause Eve started deceiving and now...
I can't go on, I can't
In life I see only what's surrounding me
Maybe the weight of Venus rising
Equals the way me hearts capsizing
Maybe you say you're Adam
But maybe I'm ont your Eve
Wrong, no one's wrong
We're just all on this move
Strong, I'm so strong
When there's nothing left to lose
And sometimes I just don't know no I just don't know
If the way that I'm headed is the way I want to go
If they way that I'm going is the way I ought to go
You say Big Black Book it tells us so
And no I just don't know now I just don't know
If the way that i'm headed is the way I want to go
The way that I'm going is the way I ought to go
You say Vedic scripture should tell me so
And no I just don't know no I just don't know no I just don't know...

Changed
04:45
|
|||
You want what you want and you don't want this
You need what you need what you can't resist
We had what we had but we've lost it now
I knew it we blew it I don't know how
Chorus:
It was a long time spent on the road
And I can hold my tongue
But our stories have so oft been told
How we're changed
How we're different
We ca't stay the way we were before
Cause we're changed now were different
You can take the way I am or leave me alone
Leave me alone
The children up north well they're calling down
We see what we see why you don't come 'round
Said I love you I did what I had to do
If you knew what I knew you'd have done it too
Chorus
You want what you want and you don't want this
You want what you want and you don't want this

Around
03:51
|
|||
You and me
I have no say in the matter
You will be the clash 'mongst all of the clatter
And I'll be around you
I'll always be around
Sweet sixteens and loves like sweaters in Venice
In betweens and dopes who just didn't get it
Alouette, Suga-mama
Alouette, Suga-mama
If I'd been round you
He never would have found you
I like the way he surrounds you
Like him I'd like to be around
Those who looked above the fantasy cruises
Those who took your love and left you in bruises
Alouette, Suga-mama
Alouette, Suga-mama
If I'd been 'round you
He never would have harmed you
So long as you allow me too
I'd really like to be
Attending patiently
Wave good-bye to each tragedy with me
Around

Lights Like This
03:02
|
|||
And the fire clicks along inside it's plastic log
Turned on by this little plastic knob
And it almost feels like home
It almost feels like Same and me and Jackie G
Huddled around the Christmas tree
When the light's like this
When the light's like this
When the light's like this
I almost think I'm home
And they say it's twelve below
They tell me not to go outside
My limbs and eyes will freeze from the wind chill
And I nearly do comply
But I can't miss this time
All lit up like Christmas time it is
When the light's like this
When the light's like this
When the light's like this
I almost think I'm home
And I wonder how you are
I wonder if you licked the door tonight
And if the dog is doing alright
And I wonder where I'd be if I had never met you
If I had never let you hold me so sweet
So sweet
So sweet
I almost think I'm home.
