Parasol 03:55 |
when I come to terms to terms with this
when I come to terms with this
when I come to terms to terms with this
my world will change for me
I haven't moved since the call came
since the call came I haven't moved
I stare at the wall knowing on the other side
the storm that waits for me
the Seated Woman with the Parasol
may be the only one you can\'t Betray
if I'm the Seated Woman with the Parasol
I will be safe in my frame
I have no need for a sea view
for a sea view I have no need
I have my little pleasures
this wall being one of these
and the Seated Woman with the Parasol
may be the only one you can't Betray
if I'm the Seated Woman with the Parasol
I will be safe in my frame
when I come to terms to terms with this
when I come to terms with this
when I come to terms with this whip lash
of Silk on wool embroidery
and the Seated Woman with the Parasol
may be the only one you can't betray
if I'm the Seated Woman with the Parasol
I will be safe in my frame
and the Seated Woman with the Parasol
may be the only one you can't betray
if I'm the Seated Woman with the Parasol
I will be safe in my frame
I will be safe in my frame
in your House
in your frame |

Sweet the Sting 04:17 |
with a strut into the room
with his hat cocked sure defiantly
he said "I. I have heard.
that you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, I can play. anyway that you want.
But first I want. I want to know
Baby is it Sweet Sweet
Sweet the Sting
is it real this infusion-
can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake Shake Shake
me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip of this scorpion's tail.
He said "I laid my weapons
down with my pistol
fully loaded, a hunted man
to my root, will it end
or begin in your cinnabar juice?"
is it Sweet Sweet
Sweet your Sting
is it real your infusion
can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake Shake Shake
me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip of this scorpion's tail.
Love let me breathe
breathe you in
melt the confusion
until there is
there is you - union
Baby is it Sweet Sweet
Sweet your sting
is it real your infusion
can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake Shake Shake
me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip of this scorpion's tail.
Baby is it sweet, now now
Baby is it sweet, boy
Baby is it sweet |

The Power of Orange Knickers 03:37 |
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
under my petty coat.
the power of listening to what,
you don't want me to know.
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces.
Can somebody tell me now am I alone with this
this little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss
am I alone in this
A matter of complication
when you become a twist
for their latest drink
as they're transitioning
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
this little pill in my hand that keeps the pain living
Can somebody tell me now a way out of this
that sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss
am I alone in this
The power of orange knickers
under my petty coat.
the power of listening to what,
you don't want me to know.
Shame shame time to leave me now
Shame shame you've had your fun
shame shame for letting me think that I would be the one
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
this little pill in my hand or this secret kiss, kiss
am I alone in this kiss, kiss
am I alone in this kiss, kiss |

Jamaica Inn 04:03 |
Can you patch my jeans Peggy Ann?
just a little stitch to mend the hole
he has torn
if you can
maybe I got too set in my ways
he says she reminds him of me
when we first met
in those early days
the sexiest thing is trust
I wake up to find
the pirates have come,
tying up along your coast.
how was I to know
the pirates have come?
Between Rebecca's
beneath your firmaments
I have worshipped
in the Jamaica Inn.
in the Jamaica Inn.
With the gales
my little boat was tossed.
how was I to know
that you'd send her
with a lantern
to bring me in?
"Are you positive this is a friend?"
the captain grimaced.
"Those are cliffs of rock ahead
if I'm not mistaken."
the sexiest thing is trust
I wake up to find
the pirates have come,
tying up along your coast.
how was I to know
the pirates have come?
Between Rebecca's

Barons of Suburbia 05:22 |
Barons of suburbia take another piece of my good graces
I'm in my war you're in yours
do we fight for peace as they take another piece of us
but baby I would let your darkness invade me.
You could maybe turn this white light into navy
before you leave
It was a slight miscalculation that my frends
my friends would be waiting on the other side of the bridge
on the other side of this
this mole hill of a mountain
this potion of a poison
they're on the other side of right
we're on the other side of her midnight
When it's all said and done we will lose a piece
to a carnivorous vegetarian
Barons of suburbia I have heard you pray
before you devour her
So baby will you let my darkness invade you
You always liked the wafer sweet in the middle
before you leave
It was a slight miscalculation that our friends
our friends would be waiting on the other side of the bridge
on the other side of this
this mole hill of a mountain
this potion now a poison
they're on the other side of right
we're on the other side of her midnight
I'm piecing a potion
to combat your poison
She is Risen
She is Risen
Boys
I said She is Risen |

Sleeps with Butterflies 03:36 |
airplanes take you away again
are you flying above where we live
then i look up, a glare in my eyes
are you having regrets about last night
i'm not, but i like rivers that
rush in so then i dove in
is there trouble ahead for you, the acrobat
i won't push you, unless you have a net
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly then, boy
balloons look good from on the ground
i fear with pins and needles around
we may fall then stumble upon a carousel
it could take us anywhere
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss her, waiting by this girl
this girl
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly boy |

General Joy 04:14 |
General Joy I know I know
you'll take me there
where your boys were left behind
General Joy it seems you need
a soldier girl
now 'they' have Liberty gagged
by boat by tram by motorbus
could it be the fates are protecting us
from the Hawks that have stolen the bird from the sky
and I know
you will always love Sorrow
is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
'cause it matches her eyes
when she cries
General Joy it seems
you don't love your Bride
generally you're friends
but she is not the love of your life
to dye to perm to change your hair or your wife
the possibilities are there
and it's time for you to decide
and I know
you will always love Sorrow
is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
'cause it matches her eyes
when she cries
General Joy I know I know
you'll take me there
but you'll need strength
from within
General Joy it seems you need
a soldier girl
and a willing coalition
by boat by tram by motorbus
could it be the Hawks are protecting us
from the Men who have now assumed their name
and I know
you will always love Sorrow
is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
'cause it matches her eyes
when she cries
'cause it matches her eyes
when she cries |

Mother Revolution 03:59 |
Lucky me
I guessed the kind of man
that you would turn out to be
Now I wish that I'd been wrong and then
I could remember to breathe
And all along the Watchtower
the night horses and the black mares
ready themselves for the outcome
for the strange times upon us
But what you didn't count on
was another Mother of
a Mother Revolution
but what you didn't count on
was another Mother of
a Mother Revolution
you could've had me
you could've had me
you could've had me
Right there beside you
you could've had me, boy
you could've had me, yeah
you could've had me
Right there beside you
A wife on loan in a cafe
in old El Paso
Next I go to
Seven Gates and my sister's Bass Bonanza
And all along her Watchtower
the night horses and the black mares
steady themselves for the outcome
for the strange days upon us
What you didn't count on
was another Mother of
a Mother Revolution
but what you didn't count on
was another Mother of
a Mother Revolution
you could've had me
you could've had me
you could've had me
Right there beside you
you could've had me, boy
you could've had me, yeah
you could've had me
Right there beside you
What you didn't count on
was another Mother of
a Mother Revolution |

Ribbons Undone 04:31 |
She's a girl
rising from a shell
running to Spring
It is her time it is her time
Watch her run with Ribbons undone
she's a rose in a Lily's cloak
she can hide her charms
Is it her right there will be time
to chase the sun with Ribbons undone
she runs like a fire does
just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
a pure flash of lightening
Past alice blue blossoms
you follow her laughter
And then she'll surprise you
arms filled with lavender
Yes, my little pony is growing up fast
she corrects me and says
"you mean a thoroughbred"
A look in her eye says the Battle's beginning
From school she comes home and cries
I don't want to grow up Mom at least not tonight
you're a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through Spring
with Summer's hand in reach now
It is your time It is your time
so just run with Ribbons undone
It is your time yes my angel
It is your time
so just run with Ribbons undone
run run darling
Ribbons undone |

Cars and Guitars 03:46 |
If I choke boy you start me up again
restring my wires
you know this gear box
can make the shift
polish my rims
oh, damned if you do, damned if you don't
I swear it seems late boy
I've even curved this body
To fit your bow
Still the rain can confuse the thoughts that come
Come in Rhythm
'cause it never was the Cars and Guitars
that came between us
Still the thought says
what if I?
keep on driving
keep on driving
keep on driving
If I choke boy you start me up again
restring my wires
you know this gear box
can make the shift
polish my rims |

Original Sinsuality 02:03 |
There was a garden
in the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis
There was a tree there
A tree of knowledge
Sophia would insist
You must eat of this
Original Sin?
No, I don't think so.
Original Sinsuality
Original Sin?
No it should be
Original Sinsuality
Original Sin?
No I don't think so.
Original Sinsuality.

Ireland 03:50 |
Driving in my Saab
on my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Driving with my friends
on my way to Ireland
it's been a long time
it's been a long time
So when I was out
in the desert
And a cowboy
tried to lasso me
He said you're red
and made of clay
a virgin portrait
I let him wake me
but decided not to stay
Driving in my Saab
on my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Driving with my friends
on my way to Ireland
it's been a long time
it's been a long time
Next in New York
I fell out with a dragon
Of the white collar kind
but just as ferocious
I remembered Macha
running faster than the horses
Then an encounter with
a voice that caressed me
Driving in my Saab
on my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
a long time
Driving with my friends
on my way to Ireland
it's been a long time
it's been a long time
Wasn't it you who
held off a surrender
To one spoiled nun
who taught you the names
of the mountains
on the moon
and then a Jesuit
proceeded to arrange your soul
while I prayed
on my knees
Driving in my Saab
on my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
a long time
Driving with my friends, yes
on my way to Ireland
it's been a long time
a long time
such a long, long time
it's been a long time
a long time |

The Beekeeper 06:51 |
Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze
It is time for the geese to head south
I have come with my mustard seed
I cannot accept that she will be taken from me
"Do you know who I am" she said
"I'm the one who taps you
on the shoulder when it's your time
Don't be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow Somewhere
Tomorrow Somewhere"
Wrap yourself around
the Tree of Life and the Dance of the Infinity
of the Hive
take this message to Michael
I will comb myself into chains
In between the tap dance clan
and your ballerina gang
I have come for the Beekeeper
I know you want my
You want my Queen
Anything but this
Can you use me instead?
"Do you know who I am" she said
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time
Do not be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow Somewhere
Tomorrow Somewhere"
In your gown with your breathing mask on
Plugged into a heart machine
As if you ever needed one
I must see the Beekeeper I must see if she'll keep her alive
Call Engine 49 I have come with my mustard seed
"Do you know who I am" she said
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time
Do not be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow Somewhere
Tomorrow Somewhere"
Maybe I'm passing you by
Just passing you by, girl
I'm just passing you by
On my way, On my way
i'm just passing you by
But don't be confused
One day I'll be coming for you
I must see the Beekeeper |

Martha's Foolish Ginger 04:23 |
Take a walk down memory lane with me
Past a watermelon stand on the way
Thinking I had everything we'd need
on Martha's Foolish Ginger
You were late
How could I forget what you said
the part about that
"Love taking over your life"
was not your plan
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
Through the cliffs
out of the Bay I went
From the starboard side
I could black my visions and my passions
They keep me awake
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
A familiar voice
"Hi. Surprise.
I've been searching trying to find you"
I couldn't speak
my hands reached for Martha's Foolish Ginger
We talked until the moon came up
About how life without love
isn't worth very much
Then I played this song
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
what I would have done
what I would have done
"Memories that we have yet" you said
"To make like our Burning Bed..."
Love, don't mistake that it wasn't safe
from Martha's Foolish Ginger. |

Hoochie Woman 02:35 |
wasn't thinking
my head was in the book
his hands were on her everywhere
I saw his face
I dropped my coffee
he's cheating on me with a
hoochie woman
you can keep your hoochie
you can keep the house
and the bank accounts
'cause boys I bring home the bacon
I went to work and the office girls
were all burning their poetry
It wasn't good but in the neighborhood
now they're all just hoochie women
you can keep your hootchie
you can keep the house
and the bank accounts
'cause boys I bring home the bacon
I said boy I bring home the bacon now
He called me up
and said she has needs
I said you'll find them on Barney's fourth floor
he said I need a loan
that's not a problem
you'd better keep this from your hoochie woman
you can keep your hoochie
you can keep the house
and the bank accounts
'cause boy I bring home the bacon
I said girls I bring home the bacon now |

Goodbye Pisces 03:37 |
I don't
I don't know why
In your Boys life you become like a bull
like a bull in a china shop
Smash it up into smithereens
There you There you go again
Breaking Breaking porcelain
Is that all I am just a Doll you got used to
We've done We've done this before
as Mars sauntered through his door
Don't say it's time to say
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye to Pisces
I cried and I washed my tears
that turned into diamond
Ice into ice and if it could freeze
My heart wouldn't float away
There we There we go again
Breaking Breaking porcelain
Is that all I am just a Doll you got used to
We've done We've done this before
as Mars sauntered through his door
Don't say it's time to say
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye to Pisces
So how how will I go
Back on Back on the shelf
with a smile with a smile
to the customer and say
on sale by the owner
Here I
Here I go again
Breaking
Breaking porcelain
Is that all I am
just a Doll you got used to
We've done
We've done this before
as Mars sauntered through his door
Don't say it's time to say
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye my Pisces |

Marys of the Sea 05:11 |
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone
"relax Love" he said before he left
"take those hands away from your eyes
from where I stand you're in my sky
you must go must flee
for they will hunt you down
you and your unborn seed
in all of Gaul is there safety?
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
you will dance the ring
Marys of the Sea
the lost bride weeps
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
We will dance your ring
Hey there's a new Jerusalem
Hey you built a rock that's on sand
For now you have hijacked the Son
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone
"relax Love" he said before he left
"take those hands away from your eyes
from where I stand you're in my sky
I hear a voice and it says
"the red of the red rose is its own
and something no man can divide"
so St. Jermaine hear the prayer
of this supplicant
for two Scarlet women, Black Madonna
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
you will dance the ring
Marys of the Sea
the lost bride weeps
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
We will dance your ring
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
I know it's your day in the sun
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
Oh, I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone |

Toast 03:42 |
I thought it was Easter time
the way the light rose
rose that morning
Lately you've been on my mind
You showed me the rope
ropes to climb
over mountains
and to pull myself
out of a landslide
of a landslide
I thought it was harvest time
You always loved the smell of wood burning
She with her honey hair
Dalhousie Castle
she would meet you there
In the winter
Butter yellow
The flames you stirred
Yes, you could stir
I raise a glass
Make a toast
A toast in your honor
I hear your laugh
and beg me not to dance
on your right standing by
is Mr. Bojangles
With a toast he's telling me it's time
to raise a glass
Make a toast A toast in your honor
I hear you laugh and beg me not to dance
'cause on your right standing by
is Mr.Bojangles
with a toast he's telling me it's time
To let you go Let you go
I thought I'd see you again.
You say you might do
Maybe in a carving
in a cathedral
Somewhere in Barcelona. |
