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.

My Lovely
(released on "Room Noises")

Why do you wait for me
How do you wait for me
I'm feeling alone without you
Here in my arms
I'm lost and alone without you
Here by my side, oh oh la la

Here's a song for you, lovely
Remember that it is for you only, for you only

Why do you wait on me
How do you wait on me
I'm feeling alone without you
Here in my arms
I'm lost and alone without you
Here by my side, oh oh la la

Here's a song for you, lovely
Remember that it is for you only, for you only
My heart is caught in a landslide
And now it feels for you only, for you only, yeah

Ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, oh

Here's a song for you, lovely
Remember that it is for you only, for you only
My heart is caught in a landslide
And now it feels for you only, for you only, yeah

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

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.

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

Pretender
(released on "EP1". mp3 available on OGG)

I'm really tired of all your lip
The same old things, oh it's gibberish
You are so passive, you're hiding
You are just standing on the edge

You look at me with your glazed eyes
Your plastic ideals are your demise
You are just hurting yourself
His heart beats for you

And you need to run
You need to run, oh oh oh oh oh

Pretender

Everything is normal, everything is fine
I don't mean to hurt you, but I think you are lying
Everything is normal, everything is fine
I don't mean to hurt you, but I think you are lying

I'm really tired of all your lip
The same old things, oh it's gibberish
You are so passive, you're hiding
You are just standing on the edge

Pretender

Everything is normal, everything is fine
I don't mean to hurt you, but I think you are lying
Everything is normal, everything is fine
I don't mean to hurt you, but I think you are lying

I wish that they could see you
I want the world to meet you
I wish that they could see you
I want the world to meet you
I wish that they could see you
I want the world to meet you

Oh, ohh oh

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.

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

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

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

Telescope Eyes
(released on "EP1", "EP2", "Laughing City EP", and "Room Noises". mp3 available on OGG)

Original version
Oh, you humor me today
Calling me out to play
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth
I can't be seen with you (you freak)

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,
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

"Laughing City EP" version
Oh, you humor me today
Calling me out to play
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth
I can't be seen with you

Please don't make me cry
Please don't make me cry
I'm just like you, I know you know
I'm just like you so leave me alone

Go cry, go run away
Let your short legs carry you away
With your telescope eyes, metal teeth
I can't be seen with you

Please don't make me cry
Please don't make me cry
I'm just like you, I know you know
I'm just like you, so leave me alone

Please don't make me cry
Please don't make me cry
I'm just like you, I know you know
I'm just like you, so leave me alone

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

Please don't make me cry
Please don't make me cry
I'm just like you, I know you know
I'm just like you, so leave me alone

I wonder, 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

Please don't make me cry
Please don't make me cry
I'm just like you, I know you know
I'm just like you, so leave me alone

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."

Tree Tops
(released on "Laughing City EP")

When I was a young girl
trying to find my way above the treetops, the treetops, the treetops...
When I was a young girl
trying to find my way above the treetops, the treetops, the treetops...

I did not care, I did not care what they called me
what they called me
I did not care, I did not care what they called me
what they called me

When I was a young girl
trying to find my way above the treetops, the treetops, the treetops...
When I was a young girl
trying to find my way above the treetops, the treetops, the treetops...

I did not care, I should 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

Ah.......

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

Bridge
Butter warm clouds are dripping into my mouth
tasting of golden

Trolley Wood
(released on "Room Noises")

Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood with trolleys on wheels
Rolling all around the hills, hallelujah

And just as soon it had slipped into
The sleepy dusk, and it's not very likely
That we'll see it a, we'll see it a, again

Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood, we unfound a wood
And then we cried, oh no and

Please tell me, we'll we ever find it again
In the depths of Trolley Wood
Do trolleys still drive

Gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
I've gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
The Trolley Wood is taking me away

Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood, we unfound a wood
And then we cried, oh no and

Please tell me, we'll we ever find it again
In the depths of Trolley Wood
Do trolleys still drive

Gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
I've gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
I've gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
The Trolley Wood is taking me away

Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
