I need the lyrics to all the songs, please! I really like the EP and it would be great to be able to sing along to the songs. Shocked Thanks!

Most of them are available on eisley.com, and the lyrics to I Wasn't Prepared are listed on this board. Fortunately, I have them already typed up (as they are worded in those sources, so there may be discrepancies) so I can just copy and paste.

I Wasn’t Prepared

When the day is blue, I'll sit here wondering about you
and how the pollen fell all around your face in strange yellow patterns.

But, I wasn't prepared for this.

When the morning came the bees flew down and wrapped themselves around me,
And that's when I spoke a word, to have them trace your face for me in pollen.

But, I wasn't prepared for this.

Come back, come back to me, my darling.


Telescope Eyes (original version)

You humor me today
Calling me out to play
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth
I can’t be seen with you

Go cry, go run away
Let your short legs carry you away
With your big dress and your dirty hair
Your pen’s waiting for you
Just get far, far away from me
I don’t want your disease

Please don’t make me cry
I’m just like you… I know you know
I’m just like you so leave me alone

Dear Matthew, why can’t you see?
You’re just not near enough like me
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth
I can’t be seen with you


Tree Tops

When I was a young girl trying to find her way above the tree tops, the tree tops,
I did not care, I did not care what they called me, what they called me.

I will float above the ocean.
The sun above is burning my head.
I will grow wings and fly everywhere.

When I was a young girl trying to find her way above the tree tops, the treetops,
I did not care, I did not care what they called me, what they called me.
I did not care, I should not care what they called me, what they called me.


Over The Mountains

With light bulbs in our pockets
we light the darkened forest.

On the mossy turf we’ll dance till
our feet shatter, our toes will splinter.

Tripping through the misty streams of light,
so beautiful, I stare in awe.


Laughing City

Follow me down to the laughing city with people changing all their minds; it’s crazy.
I want this ma’am, that ma’am, no sir. Yes ma’am, that sir;
Well, I’ll tell you one thing, if you’re keeping something…

Then hold on, hold on to the ones you love.
Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.

Let’s not fight, that is not nice.
Let’s not be sore, that is not right.

Come home late, I know you’re sick of working.
You’re feeling down because your head is hurting, so we don’t talk.

Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.
Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.

Let’s not fight, that is not nice.
Let’s not be sore, that is not right.

since that was typed in violet can we assume it was sarcastic? ...

i mean it would be a shame for you to have typed up all those lyrics and the guy was just kidding...
