Go Tell Arthur
03:43
|
|||
|
King of Christians in his crown of thorns
You strung a bow
You shot an arrow
Lord of hunters with his golden horns
He doesn’t know when they start to glow
It might be time to go
Go tell Arthur what you’ve done
Don’t leave him in the dark
He’s not above anyone
But you’re the highest in his heart
Don’t leave him in the dark
You’re the highest of all
highest of art
highest of all
high in his heart
How could you keep him in the dark?
Somebody’s wounded, let him lean on you
Don’t you know this could be
His last demand of thee
Heart of the kingdom, shot right through
One-sided rivalry
Man versus questing beast
It all falls to pieces
Go tell Arthur what you’ve done
Don't leave him in the dark
He’s not above anyone
But you’re the highest in his heart
Don’t leave him in the dark
You’re the highest of all
highest of art
How could you keep him in the dark?
She won’t say what she’s done
So it looks you’re the one
Go tell Arthur what you’ve done
You know you can’t stay
And she won’t give up that place
Oh no

Tourniquette

What do I do to keep you
When you defeat me
When you’re right I’m wrong
Don’t worry what the words mean
Or if you might be
Stringing me along
Watch out for the river
Yeah yeah sure whatever
The river will destroy the road
After I kiss the toad
If you don’t hold me I can’t hide
If you don’t hold me tight
I could die I could love you within an inch of my life
If the tourniquet isn’t tight
What do I do to keep you
When you defeat me
When you’re right I’m wrong
Don’t say
It could be anybody
It could be anything
I don’t think it’s very funny
Anyway
Here comes the river
Yeah we thought we were clever
The river will destroy the road
So much for our little code
If you don’t hold me I can’t hide
If you don’t hold me tight
I could die I could love you within an inch of my life
If the tourniquet isn’t tight

Mystery Exchange
05:17
|

|
i woke up with the sea in my face
guess i must have been sleepwalking the plank
i don’t feel like getting up today
i just feel like being thrown away
something has changed
do you prefer the lights on or off
well I used to have an answer
often i would switch them off and on
just a lonely disco dancer
something has changed
That’s why I’ve got to pray my baby
I pray I don’t give it away now
in a mystery exchange
Swallow all my love
And spit out something strange
Something has changed
there’s so little i can do or say
something outside of me is holding sway
am i God’s pawn
or am i devilspawn
or some big-eyed, mouselike prey
something has changed
for i must be baptized in the ocean
or else i’ll burn up aimlessly
but if the ocean does not welcome me
i’ll surely drown in that sea
where Stephanie said everyone would love to
everyone except for you it seems
it's a mystery
swallow all my love
now what's left for me?
What could it be?
Something has changed for me
something has changed for me
though nothing has changed for you
well something has changed

Enchanted Lovers

said the dancer to the drummer
“you must take me as a lover, all the obstacles will melt away with time”
on the road i met a false knight
and i fell for all his lies
so i took his shame and turned it into pride
that’s right people i took the knife
and i gave my heart away to the jack of spades
he just has a way, has a way
said the dancer to the drummer
“if this ship is going under, you must learn to breathe in water and live on brine”
and should he ever try to rob her
that romanticized marauder
many a mark she swore to leave upon his mind
but all he could say was “i love you baby, you took my shame and turned into pride”
that’s right people they took the dive and they turned away from the light of day
she just has a way, has a way
Enchanted lovers (over and over) fall to their knees
What do they discover? (over and over)
Come, come and see!
The poor little rover (over and over)
Dead in a cold, dried up, martian sea
That's the way it was told to me
That’s the story was told to me
(You can make of it whatever you please
Now I must away with the breaking of day)

Spring Tide
02:41
|
|||
|
Snake on the sidewalk
Snake in the cold
Snake on the rubbery road to paradise
Snakey only did as he was bid
Snakey did what he was told
But Mother Nature lies sometimes
She knows we’re all waiting for the spring tide
The Spring tide
Stars on the flagstones high on a hill
Pulling the strings of your soul
In the slack tide
Baby only did as she was bid
Baby did what she was told
But the King Stag lies sometimes
We’re all waiting for the spring tide
The spring tide
We’re all waiting for the moon rise
That’s when we come alive
