Plum Creek 01:53
We took a break and watched the river for the trees it sparkled We saturday'ed awhile all out upon the frozen backlawn of summer's memories we waddled like some superstar doves like Saturdays we were so in the wily witching hours and you got to me you got to me so hardcore So Saturday So eyes of blue and yellow So play for keeps So mortal moment in such eyes so hollow You got to me You got to me so hardcore and there if nothing else was something that I had to live for

Fire Prayer (free) 02:07
He yelled to come fast and we came right away as the fire trucks passed with the siren display shouting nothing will last and nothing can stay so this love that we sacrifice and pray that it will return full circle but you can't play the nurse and you can't cross a curse funny thing is what burns it never returns so this love that we sacrifice and pray that it will return full circle the green of the past on an overcast day the absence and memory are the only remains

When I have fears that I would cease to be When I would see that blackness slips us away to watch the waves and find that they cry all the time I never washed ashore the blackness of the night Never stirred the waters of the Lethe Never sighed upon the edge of the tides at night So when I walked the stone upon the dotted shower Frozen alone within the empty bower Searching for the coins in my eyes to cross sides I caught a glimpse fair creature of an hour an image wrought by the magic hand of chance and I could feel the blue in her eyes

The Angry Native (free) 00:34
5.
Oh the frightened prey never thought you'd be me huddled in the attic standing to be accused what I not could say what I not could see you standing in my way burning down my lean to keeping them at bay mercenary gumshoes hunting us as witches pierrot named lulu gave it all away got me on the runway hiding in the kitchen cupboards can't continue goblin says to stay goblin says to run too goblin clean the kitchen goblin got the menus goblin I should pray goblin that you made me goblin got away

The Friendly Skies (free) 01:06
I got a rocket crashing dagger in my pocket and you can't stop it You got a problem we won't let you make it happen We got a plan to take Valhalla from your dreamin I got a lethal sense of justice in my socket and you can't stop when you got Allah as your pilot Oh no Screams

Natel (free) 02:24
She spent each Saturday afternoon matinee grew hungry for stardom was a blooming bouquet she always could tell was too big for this town packed her bags at 16 headed off for L.A. where some messy old demon had his business for eyes and the lonely and hungry were his biggest supplies and nobody knew and nobody could say no plasticine body parts shimmering in the rain and nobody found her no body remained in this dream in this dream in this dream in this drain no plasticine body parts shimmerin in the rain
8.
Oh, red rubber ball come bouncing like a playful cat in my room come peering through my tangled sheets to wake me and through the kitchen window as I sit and sip my coffee The sunny side of the street is where you'll see me The sunny side of the street is where you know I am today oh yeah yeah The sunny side of the street's where I'll be walking And its a pity that the morning cannot last forever or that the clouds can come to darken down the brighter skies oh yeah yeah or that the day will always turn into a darker night or that the summer turns to winter in no time at all but I say The sunny side of the street is where you'll find me The sunny side of the street is where you know I am today oh yeah yeah The sunny side of the street is where you'll find me.
9.
The flashes of a ghost thought like the mercy of a clock stop comes the memory from the fog you could hear a pin drop And everything that you said and everything you didn't it haunts me like a black sleep Whatever makes you happy whatever makes you want me like a crystal on the dark sea you're the treasure that I can't see and I hope you will release me from everything that you said and everything you didn't that haunts me like a black dream I keep it right beside me like an angel in the backseat like candles on the beach I try to put it past me.
