Milkweed and Honeysuckle
03:38
|
|||
So now it’s time to go outside where trees and vines are growing
In the heat of summer nights we fall in love so slowly
And it’s leaves and bugs
And it’s sticks and mud
And it’s light from stars shining down from above
As we lie on our backs in the grass and the flashing of lightning is on the horizon
And I feel so light
And I think you’re so high
Just from the taste of milkweed and honeysuckle that is in the air

Busy Bee
02:29
|
|||
Go outside
She coats her walls with empty picture frames
And fills her window sills with origami cranes
And then she’ll press her hands up on the window pane
And watch a snowflake falling through the icy rain then start again
But in the spring beneath the melting snow
She hears the sound of flowers as they start to grow
That tiny creaking signifies it’s time to go outside
And feel the river flow between her toes
And from the corner of her eye she sees the movement of
One hundred ants all marching in a row
But then she tells herself to keep on moving
Cuz she knows the busy bees they make the honey flow so there she goes
There she goes

Snowcone
03:37
|
|||
Tie me down, I feel like I could float away
I shed the weight of all the troubles from back home
Let’s go to town, take in the sights along the way
Spring for a snowcone and then let our bodies roam
Another perfect day, snowcone in hand and sun in eyes
So good to get away, I think I’ll stay here for a while
I saw my brother, I saw him staring back at me
He wore a face that I had never seen before
I saw my sister, I saw her there right next to me
Here in a place that she had never been before
Another perfect day, snowcone in hand and sun in eyes
So good to get away, I think I’ll stay here for a while

Web of Light
02:42
|
|||
My hair is standing on end
Feels like I’m tapping in to this web of light
Here at the feral end
The air is shimmering and we’ve grown so wild
And though we’ve learned to be so nervous still we move into the night
And we proceed through electric fields and I feel fine
We’re all
Tied in
To this web of light
The people here are so bright
Synapses are firing when they’re touching
They’re lit up from the inside
Like every cell’s alive and they’re buzzing
And though we’ve learned to be so nervous still we move into the night
And we proceed through electric fields and I feel fine
We’re all
Tied in
To this web of light
My cells are shaking like maracas it’s hard to breathe
There’s static flowing from your fingertips into mine
I don’t know what’s gotten into me I guess it seems
You lovely people are recharging my energy

Adapt
03:59
|
|||
How quickly we adapt
How quickly we adapt
We tidy up the front room and sweep the dust right out the back
And the masses are not affected
The masses are not affected
Equilibrium is reached before disturbance can be detected
And so it goes
Still this moment cannot last
No this moment cannot last
We don’t even seem to bat an eye as it slides into the past
But the dots will be connected
Yeah the dots will be connected
We’ll tweak and turn the knobs until the concept is perfected
And there it goes
But I will never sleep
And I’ll never just let it be
So by the time this hits, I’m already moving on
No I will never sleep
This is how it’s gotta be
C’est la vie
It’s on to the next one
How quickly we adapt
How quickly we adapt
Consumers will consume and those producers will react
But we all will eat the fruit
Yeah we all will eat the fruit
Though some prefer the bitter rinds and some prefer the juice
That’s the way it is
But I will never sleep
And I’ll never just let it be
So by the time this hits I’ll be gone and on to the next one baby
No I will never sleep
And I’ll play ‘til my fingers bleed
C’est la vie
It’s on to the next one
Hey I will never sleep
And I’ll never just let it be
So when I wave goodbye you’ll never see me again
No I will never sleep
And I’ll play ‘til my fingers bleed
C’est la vie
It’s on to the next one

Particles and Waves
03:49
|
|||
We build it up, we build it up, we build it up just to burn it down
We run around, we run around, and we get back up just to fall back down again
We pull apart, we pull apart until we find the smallest part and break it again
Then we pull apart, we pull apart, yeah we pull apart just to start again
And the purposes we serve
Like arteries and nerves
As we tunnel through the earth
The symmetry preserved
And the ways that we behave
Like particles and waves
As we crawl out of our caves
I’ve got these calloused hands and my feet are sore
But I’ve come too far to turn back now
And my skin is burned and my, my tongue is dry
But still I give my sweat to the salted earth, yeah
As we shimmer and we swerve
Over surfaces that curve
In this incandescent burn
The symmetry observed
And we sink into our ways
Like old collapsing waves
As we dance around our graves
Day after day

Cold Water Dip
03:08
|
|||
Cold water dip
Straight from the hip
Wash away everything that I don't need
Cold water dip
Went straight to my head
You take my breath away every time
Cold water dip
Straight from the hip
Refreshing everything about me
Cold water dip
Went straight to my head
Clear out the thoughts that don't belong inside

Sunday Funday
02:50
|
|||
It’s already nine in the morning
And I can’t shake the taste of this cinnamon whiskey
My brain is soaking in it and it’s trying to break out of my skull
Sunday funday is the only cure I know so here we go
Well I can’t seem to wake up on time in the morning
I can’t ever make up my mind so what’s the point
The thought of Monday is a bad malaise and hair of the dog is the ointment
Prescribed to me on a Sunday appointment
The clock is sliding past ten
And I just can’t believe that I’m still beholden to this
I never thought that I would be here again, but here I am
Well Sunday funday brings me the cure again so here we go again
Well I can’t seem to wake up on time in the morning
I can’t ever make up my mind so what’s the point
The thought of Monday is a bad malaise and hair of the dog is the ointment
Prescribed to me on a Sunday appointment

Glowskin
03:42
|
|||
I want perfect skin
I’ll do whatever it takes just to get it
I’ll bathe in baby’s blood and drink from the cup of sin
Eternal youth my friend
I know a way, you won’t regret it
It’ll only take a second and you won’t feel a thing
Cuz all my friends used to tell me
How my skin was glowing
And I was the life of the party then
I’m gonna shave my legs
Drive down to New Orleans and get my feet knee deep in the mud
And I’ll have the most beautiful skin then everyone be sending me love
They say “Man, your skin is glowing”
Putting electrodes on my temples cuz I heard it’s good for the skin
Yes I heard it’s good for the skin
Oh I heard it’s so good
Putting electrodes on my temples cuz I heard it’s good for the skin
Oh I heard it’s good for the skin
Yes I heard it’s so good
And soon my friends will be telling me
How my skin is glowing
And I’ll be the life of the party again
So I go out into the ocean
Feel the saltwater flowing over and around my skin
And in the icy rush my pores they get to tightening
And it feels so invigorating
I got stung by a jellyfish
And I acquired bioluminescence
Yeah I think you know what it means
Now when you see me at night I bear the most incredible sheen that you ever seen
I’m back on top now
No one can tell me nothing that I don’t know
Cuz my skin it glows in the dark you see
Yeah my skin is glowing
My skin is glowing

Puesta del Sol
04:05
|
|||
A lifetime ago I saw the sunset down in Mexico
Thinking about it makes me wanna go back again
My two good friends were tying the knot at El Santuario
I thank them so for the experience
En Valle de Bravo, vimos la puesta del sol
Doesn’t it make you want to go back again?
To bottle of wine just let it breathe
Dancing around like we’re so free
Standing by the lake in awe to take it all in
And then fireworks after dark while the mariachi band was playing
Valle de Bravo, vimos la puesta del sol

Light of the Sun
04:13
|
|||
Light of the sun, salt of the earth
Diamond encased in the uninspired dirt
Breath of the wind on the skin through your shirt
You are the one, the last and the first
Light of the old forgotten sun
Salt of the earth upon my tongue
After the ancient rain has come
Wash away everything except for you
Light of the sun
Salt of the earth buried by the ages
Oh how the mighty have fallen
Death and rebirth, forgotten faces
Through it all you remain, the elemental sun
The salt of the earth
Light of the old forgotten sun
Salt of the earth from your skin to my tongue
After the ancient rain has come
Wash away everything except for you
Light of the sun, salt of the earth well
When I dig down to the bottom of it all you are
All I wanted, all I needed
So let the rain come wash away everything but
Light of the sun, salt of the earth
When I dig down to the bottom of it all you are
All I wanted, all I needed
So let the rain come down and wash it all away
Sun blanketing the earth
Salt buried down deep beneath the dirt
Through it all you remain pure
The elemental sun
