Anxious Sea
03:27
|

Cold sweat gut check
What’s happening?
Nerve wrack attack
Don’t make a scene
Only yesterday I was half asleep in a dream
Only yesterday I could breathe
Swim with me in the anxious sea
I will pull you down to drown with me
In the anxious sea
In my nightmare
Don’t be scared
Skies are falling
All around
Skin is crawling
Don’t make a sound
Only yesterday I was half asleep in a dream
Only yesterday I could breathe
Swim with me in the anxious sea
I will pull you down to drown with me
In the anxious sea
In my nightmare
Don’t be scared

Hurt in the Right Place

They hold
Some of them hold
Some of them see
Hold their eyes, they go
They go, they go in shades
Of black and blue and gray
Of green and brown and gray
And blue
Some are now you too
Hurt in the right place
Til you love, love, love, love
They hold
Some of them hold
Some of them see
Hold their eyes, they go
They go, they go in shades
Of black and blue and gray
Of green and brown and gray
And blue
Some are now you too
Hurt in the right place
Til you love, love, love, love

Three Men
02:40

There are three
There are three
There are three men
One of them is wearing a hat
Two of them are wearing hats
One of them has an eyepatch
One of them has eyes
They didn’t know each other
But they both knew their friend
And his name was Bill
There’s a telephone in the corner
And it’s ringing
But don’t pick it up
Because it’s not for you
There are four men
But three of them have no names
And the fourth…
And I will be
Forever lonely
In the shadows
Of my dreams
Of my dreams
There’s a black box
With no lid
But I can’t fit inside

Balloon Heart
01:10
|
|||
My heart’s a balloon stretched too tight
Rubber organ empty inside
Til it pops
Pops
Speak softly
And slowly
Speak only
To me

Shapeshifting
02:27
|
|||
You are starscaped
I am empty space
Fixed in place
Shifting shapes
This oxygen will make us spin
From within
Falling out of orbit
Falling out of time
Falling out of orbit
Falling out of time
We’re shapeshifting
We’re shapeshifting

Moonbeams
02:07
|
|||
The lights are going out
It will be dark soon
But we’ll still have the moon
And we don’t fear
For our lives
Under the moon
As there’s moonbeams
We’ll be alright

Dunes

I am not credible
I can’t be believed
I’m unreliable
I must deceive
I’ll tell you anything you want to hear
Whisper in your ear
I have two faces
One smile one frown
I have two faces
Spin me round
I will pull you down to drown
In the anxious sea
In my nightmare
Don’t be scared
Put your hands on the keys
And press once for me
For I will be at your side
In skies so blue
(Gentlemen, get your guns!)
We’ll fix the mold
(Storm the fields!)
In the stars
In the past we will feel the future at last
