While We Sit Here

Oh, come on!
Don't get down 'cause you caught me sleeping around.
Oh, come on!
Slow down!
Well, the lights go down while we sit here.
And the night hits with a switch
thats when the neon catches your figure
and it bleeds onto me.
You got me running from my name.
Drinking, just trying to stay sane.
Oh, come on!
Slow down.
When a hurricane touches your window
and the clouds are all green.
you can grab all that you love most.
Come hide down here with me!
Slow down!
Slow down!
Slow down!

Life Lake & Stream
02:20

living smooth and free along The Way.
Living like Skywise, like Cutter and Dewshine.
With a crown of green.
Skipping stones with a Wolfrider.
Casting my life curl down the channel.
Hitchhiking the moon.
Making up for the distance.
Life! Lake! Stream!
Thats how we live in it
Out here on the green.
In the now of the wolf-thought.
Out here on the green .
OOOOOooooooo!!!!!!!!
Picking a home from among the trees that grow between
the woods and the lakes.
From the river to the ocean!
Life! Lake! Stream!
Thats how we live in it
Out here on the green.
In the now of the wolf-thought.
Out here on the green .
OOOOOooooOOOooOOOOO!!!!!!!

The Thief
03:38
|
|||
|
In the cold cold night these eyes keep searching for an open door.
A light to replace an old love.
Somewhere up in the melody there is a feeling stronger than touch than mourning.
The city's taking your hand tonight
but i'm not changing my mind.
Who can say what i find isn't mine?
Who's the thief when ownership is the crime?
More than music we want mourning!
we want morning!
Somewhere up in the melody there is a feeling stronger than touch.

Of Two Minds

You are trying to live right
with a sense of vision and agency
c'mon, lets try it
Satiation backed by some courtesy
All my love for you and all my pain
all my care for you and all of your disdain
Who am I to you?
I love you you and you love me
but these wild hearts have got to be free
what do we get for the price of some tears?
We've got blue diamond hearts, we've got souvenirs
We sing into pillows
when we tighten the bond
we steal kisses and in a ally
we sling our crystal ball against the wall
take me away ho-chain
take me away ho-chain
Who am i to you?

"Think about it this way, your'e just the donor.
You come cheap and it's not like you'd be the dad!"
We got one kid already and now your partner want's my baby.
Is that right?
Let's find out what happens when we break down
when all we've got is each-other and keeping her heart alive.
When we were married we made commitments.
Now that its over, does that mean that we were wrong?
Bae fuck what they say we live our own way
making a new world for a new girl on the way.
Let's find out what happens when we break down
when all we've got is each-other and keeping her heart alive.
She's on the way!
She's on the way!
She's on the way!
Man. We're making a mixture.
She's on the way!
She's on the way!
She's on the way!
Sono sonogram picture.
She's on the way!
She's on the way!
She's on the way!
Come and meet the new baby.
Let's find out what happens when we break down
when all we've got is each-other and keeping her heart alive.

Spirit of His Kin
03:24
|

|
I look across the tidal lake. I see
an eagle flying high above me.
and I know it's the spirit of his kin
flowing deep within him.
Yeah, he was born a wild animal.
shot out just like a cannon ball.
Yeah, he was born with his eyes open wide
in a cabin on the lakeside.
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah, oh o oh.
I want you to get out,
embrace the world.
Check out the wind in the leaves sound.
Bliss out, thats what it's all about.
The summer sun was just about to set.
The moon came up right behind it.
The moss grew thick under the windy spruce.
The trees grip on their leaves was getting loose.
The boats are pointed in the same direction.
The birds are getting ready for migration.
I want you to get out,
embrace the world.
Check out the wind in the leaves sound.
Bliss out, thats what it's all about.

A Change In Weather
04:28
|

|
It's getting cold again this year.
I'm thinking about you. How the last time we touched
you were so like the change in weather.
Your hands, they stopped shaking.
Grown cold, but stopped shaking.
There's lamb on the table again this spring.
Now i stand in your place to cut.
We pray while my hands travel thru and thru and thru...
Your heart, we watched it breaking.
Your life, we let you take it.
Your hands, they stopped shaking.
grown cold, but stopped shaking.

Salad Greens
04:45

|
Swaying on a hammock
In a breezy balmy weather
Drifting in and out of
a restless dreamy slumber
well i watch a butterfly floating on a soft breeze,
and i feel like I'm kind of floatin'.
My mind is wandering.
Picking salad greens in
a garden by the ocean.
I'm riding on a planet
in an orbit 'round the sun.
well I watch the butterfly floating on a soft breeze.
and I feel like i'm a-kinda floatin'
My mind is wandering.
Im gonna lie on the couch.
I'm gonna stare at the wall.
Think about the universe,
and how we're all so small.

Reversible Ursula
03:07
|

|
Ooo we had such fun that night when you came out to me
and i realized that all we are is a collection of seams
two sided at best, when we were thrown together
we were shallow, it was vague, we left our problems all unsolved.
I love Ursula she's a reversible girl.
When we tried to kiss you fell to pieces.
Now I'm confused by you.
How does it feel living beyond context.
Laying in the dark in a bed of photo-grey.
I love Ursula she's a reversible girl
Whenever I take you out
I loose a piece of you.
It's been forever but I've done you so many times
I think I'll stash you behind my 4-Track.
I think I'll stash you
behind my 4-Track

Animal With Wings
03:46
|

After the show
I was all alone.
Driving in my car,
oh it's so far.
Driving late at night,
all that i can see
is whats illuminated
right in front of me.
I don't want to listen to the radio
'cause my ears are ringing.
Baby!
When I got home everybody was asleep.
The silence so complete
I could hear my heart beat.
The rhythm so consistent
my imagination was
distantly dreaming.
I just want to be an animal with wings,
a bird of paradise.
Wouldn't that be nice?
I'd fly close above the dunes
rummage on the beach
float on the clear blue sea.
I can't think of a thing
that i would rather be
than beautiful and free
Oh i just want to be an animal with wings
a bird of paradise.
Wouldn't that be nice?
