 Post subject: Mr. PinePosted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:09 am 
Mr. Pine (released on "EP2") An icicle feast for my watery eyes; lacing, swirling and floating. An ice castle for us to live in, come on, we're holding hands under our palace of snow. Soft hushed breath it goes in and out, in and out Frost tracing the window pane up and down, up and down. Pale blue frosted cakes for us to feed on, bright eyes always shining always glowing. Icicles hanging from our fingertips. Soft hushed breath it goes in and out, in and out Frost tracing the window pane up and down, up and down Follow the crystal air to the snowflake village where people made of gumdrops greet you; Merry mornings Mr. Pine. |

Post subject: One Day I Slowly Floated Away Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:14 am
One Day I Slowly Floated Away (released on "Room Noises") One day I slowly floated away One day I slowly floated away All the war horses wore rubber bands To hide their hooves from sinking sand The commander in charge was hoping that Their destiny was not to die Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie Hard to foresee the future Our bodies are growing thin Glimpsing the peeling paint off The nurses ivory chin You've got a lot of nerve coming here Your eyes are beating rhythms way Faster than the speeding bullet that Took the life of your radio Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie And in the corner chair Soft and soap-scented My darling cries apologies We foresee the mercy that's been shown My young limbs will not go unthanked or unseen Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie Ohhh, ahhh Ohhh, ahhh |

Post subject: Over the Mountains Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:16 am
Over the Mountains (released on "EP2" and "Laughing City EP". mp3 available on OGG) 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. |

Post subject: Plenty of Paper Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:19 am
Plenty of Paper (released on "Room Noises") Something's growing under that wing I think a face is dawning Oh no the bugs are growing faces And you're lost quite classically With your nose in a book And it seemed so fitting And perhaps this is the end We've sought after for so long and perhaps Now it's done Because we've found all the dire dreams of Men and machines And turned them all around Our identical hands Composing our commands I cut the moon in half And stuck a piece to my hair It made the back of my head glow Golden yellow and then I took Ten stars on sticks and placed them in my small metal Bucket I gave the other half of the moon to you So you wouldn't forget me while I'm gone Because we've found all the dire dreams of Men and machines And turned them all around To enjoy them And benefit ourselves Our paperback books Our charming looks Our identical hands Composing our commands And oh, my love We could live on the sun And wouldn't we be attractive Riding in our shiny motor cars With eyeglasses full of stars And plenty of paper for scenery painting Because we've found all the dire dreams of Men and machines And turned them all around To enjoy them And benefit ourselves Our paperback books Our charming looks Our identical hands Composing our commands |

Post subject: Queen of Leaves Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:24 am
Queen of Leaves (unreleased track) It happened one night beneath the moon. When the leaves floated down from the trees. And the next thing i knew, i was up right beside you, with my soft green face smiling beside you. Chorus And we danced slowly, waltzed methodically all over the ground, hurry now before we must return to trees. Your arms of green, you are my king and i am, i'm the queen of leaves. The insects were quite confused, and the frogs well they seemed quite amused. But all i know is you're standing beside me, with your soft green face smiling beside me. Bridge And if you doubted the possibilities , my love, no way. Look how the trees will surrender their hair so love can have it's way. And i'm wondering, would you stay with me? We'll leave this place immediately with nothing in our hands, It doesn't matter, you know, you have to know. |

Post subject: Sea King Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:26 am
Sea King (released on "Marvelous Things EP") At the bottom of the ocean lives a sea king, he was my king. He was so proud, diamonds in his crown. He was so proud, always so proud. I'm going away, I can't stay and I pray he finds out someday... Sea King, Sea king, can't you see that you're so silly? Sea King, I know things, and without love you won't get far. In aquatic towns below us, reigns a Sea King, he was my king. Gold and glitter bubbling all around him, all around him, pearls in his hands. I'm going away, I can't stay and I pray he finds out someday... Sea King, Sea king, can't you see that you're so silly? Sea King, I know things, and without love you won't get far. It was all he ever knew and that's sad. |

Silver Bugs (unreleased track. live mp3 available on OGG) I'm getting colder by they day and it's only cause you're not here. I'm wishing for silver bugs to fly me over where you are. And then i know that Someone locked the door when i'm not home. Chorus It's okay, It's a golden day, a golden day, And tomorrow's coming up. Take the bright,bright branches of lovely moments. It was the look on your face that told me you've always cared. And i'll try to know your safe and maybe that will make me sound. And this i know dear, My heart smiles when you're near. It's okay, it's a golden day, a golden day, and tomorrow's coming up. take the bright,bright branches of lovely moments. Bridge And in the morning, i'll gather all the hope that's on my window, and place them inside. Chorus 2X |

Post subject: Sleepy Head Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:30 am
Sleepy Head (unreleased track) I go downstairs trembling We are the, we are the monsters in the night I try so hard to pray them all away But it's not working tonight. Sinking down upon dirty ground My heart has stopped inside of me Break my legs to hold me to you Sulfur breathed into my head Falling, can't you hear my calling Running, catch my hand and hold me |

Post subject: Sun Feet Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:32 am
Sun Feet (unreleased track. live mp3 available on OGG) Listen to me, please sit down and stay I'm gonna build a house and hide away Gather timbers from the ground I'll build a castle that won't fall down And when I'm done The clock will stop and from Our heads will come Bright flowers I don't know, I can't contain my heartbeat I am dancing, shrouded by green trees I am whirling, wearing my sun feet And humming children to sleep I love to watch the light you spread to the room See how it dances from you to me to you With our laughter, a bright white sound I'll build a castle that won't fall down And when I'm done The clock will stop and from Our heads will come Bright flowers I don't know, I can't contain my heartbeat I am dancing, shrouded by green trees I am whirling, wearing my sun feet And humming children to sleep Soft sweet music makes me sleep Calling my mind away, oh Resting faces, calm and quiet |

Post subject: They All Surrounded Me Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:44 am
They All Surrounded Me (unreleased track. live mp3 available on OGG) I gathered my thoughts and sat out on a trail into the woods, wearing sword and chainmail I started to whistle and walk to the beat that my heart played constantly on repeat The nightfall was chilly, I slumbered right where I fell dreaming up adventures cause' I had none to tell Upon the morning, I woke with a start for the beasts had blackened the horizon They all surrounded me, they all surrounded me, that's when the giant dragon jumped over the hill and he said He said, "no, no, no, no, no, no way sir, no, no, no, no, no, not today sir, you won't surround me, you can't surround us." (repeat whole song, then) Oh..... They all surrounded me... They all surrounded me... They all surrounded me... They all surrounded us... That's when the giant dragon jumped over the hill and he said He said, "no, no, no, no, no, no way sir, no, no, no, no, no, not today sir, you won't surround me, you can't surround us." |
