Post subject: Becoming You Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2005 9:57 am
Becoming You (unreleased track. mp3 available on OGG) Ha ha ha, we float our way through this lonely world, again you say "It's funny how the years go by when you never stop singing" Well it gets so easy riding on your shadow my ideas get lost amid your own. Count the days and spaces filled with cars and cases, robots, sand and seafoam. We sing the song we wrote when we were kids for so long. Paper clips, and long road trips, make for silly stories. Well it got so easy riding on your shadow my ideas get lost amid your own. Count the days and spaces filled with cars and cases, robots, sand and seafoam. Becoming you. |

Post subject: Blackened Crown Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2005 10:16 am
Blackened Crown (released on "EP1" and "EP2". mp3 available on OGG) A face broken upstairs I fall down Tumbling I lose my ground Paint my hair a blackened crown Lift my head as I cry out Did you hear me holler at you to come save me I'm in danger My pearls have fallen into mud and you were too late This breath precious to you knocked from me Taken so faintly and I never feel 'till it's too late Did you hear me holler at you to come save me I'm in danger My pearls have fallen into mud and you are too late. |

Post subject: Brightly Wound Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2005 10:22 am
Brightly Wound (released on "Room Noises") (Stacy's verse) I am just wishing you were here, so we coud walk down to the brook. And we would throw all our leaves in, seeing our dragon when we look. (Sherri's verse) It's happening all the time, When I open my eyes, I'm still taken by surprise, You have shining eyes, yes like those forest lights, and it makes me want to cry. I love you.. Chorus I shall never grow up, Make believe is much too fun. Can we go far away to the humming meadow, This place is so lovely. It kind of makes me very happy. Can we go far away to the humming meadow? (Stacy's verse) I Am just wishing you were here, So we could walk down to the brook. And we would throw all our leaves in, seeing our dragon when we go. (Sherri's verse) We we're walking there, I had tangles in my hair, but you make me feel so pretty. I hold sunlight, and swallow butterflies and it makes me want to cry. I love you... |

Post subject: Dream For Me Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2005 10:28 am
Dream For Me (released on "EP1" and "EP2".) Night falls... am I dreaming? The fears are toying with my head and I'm swept away by the wind And I can't fight them anymore... anymore. Frantically I run for my life. Oh, I'm faint with fear Chase me down with your knife and I don't want to die Chase me down with your knife Tears of pain and salt fall once again Your twisted schemes scrape my mind with your hand and I don't want to die Chase me down with your knife Sleep my little child and rest in me... |

Post subject: The Escaping Song Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 4:42 am
The Escaping Song (unreleased track) I felt the wind shifting back on us Hold on we have to run But we can't escape there's no way They'll call our names through the speakers La, ah La, ah When they find you, they'll retrieve you Take you where sphered domes will freeze you But we can't escape there's no way They'll call our names through the speakers La, ah La, ah Men would die at sea for you But all I want is you Men would live and die for you But all I want is you, you These beautiful moments we shared together All end now They'll make me drink this potion; I'll sleep forever Until I wake under the glacier ground The ground The ground, oh yeah |

Post subject: Head Against the Sky Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:34 am
Head Against the Sky (released on "EP2") Sleep with your head against the sky tonight. I can't count how many times you have made me cry. I marvel at the way your hair glows in the light. There's one who cares for me today. I've watched you grow up child, you have made me proud. I love the way your hand fits so nicely in mine. I always screw up, I wonder how you sing to me. There's one who cares for me today. |

Post subject: I Wasn't Prepared Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:35 am
I Wasn't Prepared (released on "Laughing City EP" and "Room Noises") 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. |

Post subject: Just Like We Do Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:36 am
Just Like We Do (released on "Room Noises") Dear, did you know that people love each other Just like we do Just like they do Dear did you know you're all I ask for So hold on to me Hold on with me here And there are things that follow us Quietly to the past We've seen all those faces We won't go looking for trouble The rain tumbled down through the cracks in the sky Which made your hands grow Watch your hands grow But we still see through their planks, shifting laughs We'll hold the hands of sinners and we will pass Oooh ah Oooh ah Oooh ah |

Post subject: Lullaby Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:59 am
Lullaby (unreleased track) After the moon comes up, all of the toys behind closed doors open their eyes and move their squeaky joints across the floor. Rocking horses run, tinker toys assembling, twisting mobile stars, dancing dolls and spinning cars. Stop, will you stop? Will you stop and speak to me? Wake, I know you're awake. Move your mouth and speak to me. I'm not the kind who will take it for granted, no, I'm not the kind who will take it for granted. How I would like to know all the toy soldiers in a row, marching to and fro, all the tin soldiers in a row. Tiny painted mouths, how I wish you'd utter now, words of nursery rhyme, tongue and teeth all click in time. Stop, will you stop? Will you stop and speak to me? Wake, I know you're awake. Move your mouth and speak to me. I'm not the kind who will take you for granted, no, I'm not the kind who will take you for granted. |

Post subject: Memories Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:06 am
Memories (released on "Marvelous Things EP" and "Room Noises") He was throwing grain into the ground below, ground below With dreary circles of his arm, going slow, very slow His cap pulled down roun' his ears to hide the smile and watery tears My loving wife is so wonderful how small seeds gracefully to grow into musical things that spring from these rows With their musical names and musical sound Dreary birds parade across the dreary sky, but down below the woman absent mindedly begins to sow, how she sows the seeds her husband loved so much, but he's no longer here with us But her life is so beautiful as memories continue to grow into musical things that spring from these rows With their musical names and musical sound Beautiful things that spring from these rows with their musical names and musical sounds, and musical sounds (Husband speaking) Distant tho I am orange, gold, and green firing, flaming, colors surround me (Wife) I was just wondering where you are? I was just wondering where you are? (Husband) Darling shouldn't I be the one wondering after all I am the one who is gone Darling shouldn't I be the one wondering after all I am the one who is gone (Wife) I was just wondering (Husband) I was just wondering (Wife) I was just wondering (Husband) I'm the one...who is gone I'm the one...who is gone who is gone But, there's beautiful things that spring from these rows With their musical names, and musical sounds there's beautiful things that spring from these rows With their musical names, and musical sounds and musical sounds. |
