Crumbles

Come meet me south of the border
Be sure you dress up fine
Leaving must be a solemn thing
For those you left behind
You left home and stove and crumbles
Kitchen sink gone dry
Apron stained with all kinds of tears
From an insignifigant wife
Tell me, did he hit you
Like he hit you in my dreams?
Or is he just as sweet and lovable
As he seems?
Oh what a beautiful night
Stars seem so bright
Oh if you saw me now
Saw me through the light
Make me a promise
That you will keep
If you ever need to leave me
Do it while I sleep
If you ever need to leave me
Do it while I sleep

On their last day together
Skies opened and wet their feathers
And I saw them in the rain
They looked so different
But still the same
And there was something else
About them that was strange
On their last day together
He said "You have met an other
The way he makes you smile
I haven't even seen you smile in a while"
She couldn't look him in he eye
She knew her eye wouldn't lie
On their last day together
He realized there was no more eachother
No more holding hands
No Somerset strolls across the sand
No more love in the air
No loving him, no loving anywhere
And nothing left to say
But he said it anyway
On their last day together
She packed her bags and called her brother
And soon she was gone
Before he knew what was really going on
And his tear wet the rain
Let the rain feel his pain

71 Steps

71 steps to your door
I've never been this close before
Think I got a taste of the love of my life
Passed you in the street, didn't realize
Now I'm here
And you're mine
Weeks ago
I was fine
Now I've lost
My sense of time
As we reach for the highest peak
Seek deconstruction that all lovers seek
Then you turn to me and you give me light
Under the table in the middle of the night
Twist and turn
Rise above
A silent drug
That's in my blood
Try to get
Hold of your sun
71 steps to your door
I've never been this close before
Opened up my heart and let you in
Maybe there will be others
But they will never win
Secret tables calling for us
Distant islands calling for us
Now I know what I have lost
Now I know what I have lost
Now I know what I have lost

Seas Of The Sun
02:33
|

Far beneath the red light square
Night has paused and there is air
Fallen dreampiles lies around
Cotton buds and an indian drum
Play that drum and you are lost
In seasoned illness, filled with rust
Silenced mouth begins to shout
Thoughts we really can't be without
No, saddle your crow, we're gone
Gone into the seas of the sun
Saddle your crow, we're gone
Gone into the seas of the sun

Hibernates
05:20
|

She plays
With words and phrase
Tries to speak
But hibernates
She roams
In zero point wind
Disappears within
Slush and fire
She lost track the minute she was born
Left for dead and desire
She saw the cradle
She saw the wine
She saw the genie
Trapped inside
Take him to a special place
Where no one else will go
Bury him
And no one else will know
I played it safe
Lost the fight
Lost my air
All the might
I roam
In zero point wind
Disappears within
Slush and fire
Made peace with the demons and the clowns
Told them that they were right
I saw the cradle
I saw the wine
I saw the genie
Trapped inside
Take him to a special place
Where no one else will go
Bury him
And no one else will know

Indecency

Indecency
Caught my eye
And nothing else matters somehow
I fade away, disappear
Reappear
Close to your ear
Cover you with kisses and kings
No one hear what the nightingale sings
But me
Stopped life
Parked a dream
Blinded by the cream
Of the crops
Of the fruit drops
That pour down from your eyes
Cover up
All the lies
And flushes them down the drain
True love
It hides
In the corner of unprepared eyes
Seem to surface
When it's ripe
Then it comes into light
Kind and decent
Or violent, strong
And God it's not
Right or wrong

Morning comes again
Surprise me once again
Caught me sleeping
Pull me back
I try to see things
From a different view
Try to picture
Life without you
When are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?
When are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?
You turn your head
In the same old way
What things matter to you
Anyway?
And when are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?
When are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?
I push up daisies
Or leave them dry
Think i's amazing
To watch them die
And when are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?
When are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?
When are you gonna come home?
When are you coming home?

She Leaves Work Early
06:31

She leaves work early
Ties a bow in her hair
She rides her bike
To a late anywhere
Where her friends have gathered
A captain starts to sing
He sings so loud and clear
It'll make your ears ring
She sings with him
Let out the sorrow she feels within
I stand beside her
Don't know nothing
There's lady chameleon
She makes what she wears
Tonight it's her mama's dress
Made of a million hairs
And a wooden handbag
Is all that she needs
To get to do beautiful
Unspeakable deeds
And she will exceed
Your most beloved and wildest dreams
Bu she's hooked up
It seems
To a singer
In a rock n' roll band
Who wears a cap
And got pockets with sand
He dreams of chameleons
To be famous someday
And to sing his songs
In new, mindblowing ways
Needless to say
Maybe he'l get there sooner than me
Stop trying
Feel free
My friends' in the corner
He drags me away
From infidelity and "Lay Lady Lay"
We never talk much
About how it feels
To be the fifth
Or the seventh wheel
About sex appeal
Of unanswered love and family needs
Growing older
Spreading seeds
She stands beside me
But then she is gone
Maybe she fears
That I am the one
And that I wil show her
There's something else
Something she craves
When all else fails
When love breaks loose
And tortures her every hour and day
Maybe that makes her
Flee away

Traffic lights
04:01
|

Passed the shady trees
Followed a gentle breeze
That picked me up
And carried me
To the traffic lights
On our street
It changed to green from pain
Honey
I'm home again
Never mind yesterday
It won't return anyway
A new morning
I lies ahead
In your cloudy bed
And the pillow sound
It changed to love from pain
Honey
I'm home again
Home again
