Sequins in the Sun
02:56
|
|||
|
It's something when the sadness dims and the brain begins moving
feeling great reflects, marks parade hold my hand let's begin
when the beams have such meaning
dazzle heads, shake the bed
we still both cast reflections : we're alive and inside
then we saw it was so much fun playing with sequins in the sun
as we dance in the colored plants in a sequence so pleasing
magic lights up the ceiling
fuzzy flesh floats at rest it's the best
you can sit and say nothing, but your joy is revealing
and your skin reflecting the sun
when you're baked let me in let me in
turn around now you're free again, everything full of beauty
then we saw it was so much fun playing with sequins in the sun
as we dance in the colored plants in a sequence so pleasing
then we saw it was so much fun playing with sequins in the sun
as we dance in the colored plants in a sequence so pleasing
and we saw it was so much fun playing with sequins in the sun
as we dance in the colored plants in a sequence so pleasing
then we saw it was so much fun playing with sequins in the sun
as we dance in the colored plants in a sequence so pleasing

Witch-Beams

Some things can control me understood
sometimes my escape gets blocked
when I think I'm of free will my thoughts are not my own
I can't remember that spell
that carried me to her
back when I belonged to them
I was just another plaything
calling on the simple faces pouring out of the scenes
feel like I'm going to wreck under the witch-beams
witch-beams

Seeing Green
03:29

walls walk to me outside in subtle shades beneath the trees
and I know why you wanted me, baby you don't know what love is
so cold inside living in a dream, all you see is green
to you everything is green
now the calls come from above
making things move around in the air
in sequence unpleasing I drop all alone again
and I know why you wanted me, baby you don't know what love is
so cold inside living in a dream, all you see is green
to you everything is green
take me back and I'll throw up
peel me up, see what's inside
put me beneath the covers, push my face deep into it
and I know why you wanted me, baby you don't know what love is
so cold inside living in a dream, all you see is green
to you everything is green
to you everything is green
to you everything is green
to you everything is green

I'm fed up and got no direction when I play with my self-expression
drawing of figure with a caption always looks better on a napkin
when my pen nib runs out of ink (oh thank god)
I feel my mind's been working hard overtime
it's just a breeze coming thru the room
and I find that I am lost in abstraction
abstraction's buried, dude it's very good
It's getting dark so I move
abstraction of all and everything
just get away
I feel good now when I think of her
she looks real great with her new lover
and I don't even want to hold her hand
that would be mad and I so understand
when I see her in green reflection
I think about that bad infection
I got when I went to love her bad
she blew it off like just another fad
I'm buried in the blades down in the paint getting chopped by the blades
I'm making the paint awake the painting's looking so strange
she was my my model yeah twisting in color and shape
abstraction's buried, dude it's very rude it's very rude it's very rude
abstraction's buried, dude it's very good
It's looking dark so I move
abstraction of all and everything
just get away
abstraction's buried, dude it's very good
It's looking dark so I move
abstraction of all and everything
just get away

I'm a Cactus
01:49

Blank frames pick me up when I'm out in the storm
strange wings pick me up, take me out for more
I'm useless useless without feet on the beat
it's cotton candy in your seat and I'm lookin to eat
two trees do grow beyond the norm
my princess walks on flowered feet
like angel faces deforming we bloom into a cactus
I told you my dreams are terrifying me
I got my fuckin soul to complete and I'm collectin love
don't come and fuck with me unless you want to get some
hold hands, go to a dance, baby I don't think so
lookout you might get pricked by a cactus
I'm a cactus

Ghastly Ghost
03:23

The ghost is not so ghastly now that the gold's made it's chains
and paradise is still a ghastly swamp
but we swim in it like it's always been paradise
almonds fall out of the trees
coconut-flovored kisses and I'm losing breath
confusion can be wonderful if you let it end in death
but oh oh no you must be lost
a lost ghost swimming in between worlds
and oh oh summers coming soon and the sun will melt your frost
that's a ghastly ghost!
The ghost is not so ghastly now
we made a nest in my baby's breast for it
a wild wind blows my ghost away
a silly scene to see you say oh oh
when the time stops and the movement dies
that ghost will be so solid, oh - oh oh
and heavy like the lava cold hanging off of the volcano
now the volcano looks like a big black diamond and
oh how look how the ghost reflects in it
the tropical trees mope and then bend
as if to sway to the ghost rhythm
that's a ghastly ghost!
oh see how the ghost reflects in it!
that's a ghastly ghost!

Freak-Beams

Hot under rocks under sun hiding in shade oh so hot
strip off your clothes in the woods live in the heat live in fear
you're lost in some gaze far away the mood carries beams thru the trees
the leaves are burning now you see the beams moving thru everything
freak-beams
try to make the shelter work looking for a place to hide
putting on the talisman feel them coming from inside
freak-beams

Lousy Ride
03:02
|

My head it shakes my body moves
in dead awake we go on a ride
we never tried to expose the rotten side
of anything we did out in the night
aw but then every once a moon we'd try to move
and everything was stuck like glue
and I tried to tie the ropes to hold in place
but the ride bumped and they ever came undone
oh it stung, release
from gold chains to rotten rope running in place
then you come to the light
and the parties call leaving breadcrumbs
it's a long walk to that cool scene tonight
and the ride takes any sad son
any ruined lost soul
out of ally lanes and gay-dreams
busy parking lots are wobbling side to side
and the bossy dudes bringing bad news
on a drunk-romp hitting dizzy playthings
no
riding solo again
I contemplate and my hope just goes
bubbling in my tea in white clothes
and they're dancing side by side by my window
to wave bye bye then walk home
when the scattered leaves bring my ride
