Bad Day
04:37

Won't you hand me your bad day?
I'll carry it aways
I promise I'll give it back when you're ready, I just
Want to feel its weight
And we can hop a train to Tempe
We can kneel before the stars
We can sail away on seas of smoke until we
Reach the shores of Mars
I know your folks don't like me, I'm an
Outlaw in heels
Accomplices despite the
Graves we dig for our feelings
And we can thumb a ride into Echo Park
Sing our elegies to the crows, we can
Float away on rising sparks until we
Dream the dance of the ghosts
You could give me your nightmare
I will keep it safe
I will feed it cherries and crackers
It won't notice these chains
And we can hide beneath the breakfast table
We can whisper to our ears
We can float away on Persian carpets
Until we disappear
So aim your madness at me, or
Shoot me up with your sin, or
Lend me your blasphemy, or
Your sawtoothed grin
And we can float away like rolling boulders
Right to gravity's end
Go on, leave your head on my shoulder, I'll
Guide us in with the wind

Red Lights
04:02
|

I'm trying not
To count the time
I'm stuck at all
These damn red lights
And I'm using boys
Like chewing gum
But ain't a girl
Supposed to have her fun
Cause I sure do love
Fallin in love
I sure do love
Fallin in love
I'm trying like hell
To catch his eye
Before I figure out
I never did like him
And not to regret
Or wonder 'bout what
You were right when you said
They're not fucking with us
I sure do love
Fallin in love
I sure do love
Fallin in love
This is so damn stupid
We could own this place
If we weren't droolin' in silence
And drownin' in pain
The skin on your back
Feels so soft in the dark
What we tried to keep a secret
Weren't so secret after all
I sure do love
Fallin in love
I sure do love
Fallin in love
I carry empty lead
For mile after mile
Wringing virtue out of sayin'
No once in a while
But I sure do love
Fallin in love
I sure do love
Fallin in love
I sure do love
Fallin in love
I sure do love
Fallin in love

Gypsy Prince

C'mon over here, little Gypsy Prince
Feel the balance of your influence
In the rhythm of my honest breath
How you've unearthed all that's
Authentic
So foot the path of your chosen miles
My aegis has no designs on you, child
All that I ever may require
That you stay tender
That you stay wild
So thank you for the bluebells and the backaches, my astral swell
Thank you for the clover and the late nights as well
That sidewise smile just makes my day, and now I see
You're the divining rod for wisdom, truth, and beauty
So foot the path of your chosen miles
My aegis has no designs on you, child
All that I ever may require
That you stay tender
That you stay wild
Now close your eyes
And sleep tight
I'll be here
All through the night

Boo to Ghosts
04:20
|
|||
Upside down they look like antlers
In the streets the floodlights answer
Words they fall like snowflake embers
Opiates of another color
And the boy whispers "boo" to ghosts
And the boy whispers "boo" to ghosts
Inside out the tanks on empty
In the mirror right means nothing
Heartbeats float and stab like love does
Gooseflesh shivers undercover
And the boy whispers "boo" to ghosts
And the boy whispers "boo" to ghosts
Starling murmurs echo hollow
Climbing spires like bloody shadows
Forget the path of forward wander
Brick by brick feels like falling stars
And the boy whispers "boo" to ghosts
And the boy whispers "boo" to ghosts
