She got the crystal tears
she's the girl who was crying with the crystal tears
w-w-wonder where did the radio go
did he lose himself trying to find his way home
was he seduced by the forest freaks
in the sharp relief with all the crispy retreats
its a cheap thing you don't understand
its a white suntan from behind the van
another day just like a bird flew by
and out from the eyelet tiny demons fly
maybe vomit in the village night
and die of goblin fright its a happy sight
magic tricks into the purple light
got a front row seat for the stardust flight
Droppin down into the amulet
in an ambulette, its a safety bet
Got a meeting with the rabbit hole
and can you feel the soul of all the non-carbonated gold?
I couldn't breathe for a thousand days
in a thousand lounges in a single chaise
getting strong leads to the darkest night
and its the deepest freeze for a fairy flight
gonna cross into a billion bees
its the deepest cold for a new disease
and all the ghosts crawling out of my mouth
running round the house
knocking children out singing
She's got the crystal tears
She's the girl who was crying with the crystal tears
She got the beamin' Blanes
racin' all the Corvettes down the crystal lanes
sayin where did the summer go
did the winter win with a stranglehold?

Out Like a Lion
02:51
|

In like a lamb and out like a lion lead you to the gate
said come on and slide come let it slide a little
(Maybe) here it ain't so bad have a little, have a little taste
In like a lamb and out like a lion walk you through the waste
Go ahead and try a little
tie on a little, ride a little
Come on let me help you get
yourself through the haze
In like a lamb and out like a lion left you in a daze
so you swirl on down the little hole just a little taste
need a little more just a little needle it in place
come on won't you wallow a little in the new embrace
Come on let it slide a little
ride a little high on a little
anyway you want more
to leave without a trace
In like a lamb and out like a lion made you lose your place
now you think the ride's gone a little past what you can face
In like a lamb and out like a lion left you so defaced
Can't stop the ride, the wrong side the other way
In like a lamb and out like a lion
In like a lamb and out like a lion
In like a lamb and out like a lion
In like a lamb and out like a lion
In like a lamb and out like a lion

My Illegal Alien

She puts the ice into my coffee
She puts the lice into my hairdo
She puts the rice in my Basmati
She puts the mice into my igloo
Oh she's the talk of the town my illegal alien
She puts the chalk onto my chalkboard
She puts the caulk into my bathroom
She puts the Hulk in my Incredible
Oh she's the talk of the town my illegal alien
She puts the bunk into my bunk bed
she puts the chunks into my peanut butter
she puts the crunk in my Camaro
Oh she's the talk of the town my little illegal alien

Hide the Islands

Tiny island
get much better than before
time the island
feel until you shove ashore
let the weather wish a war
let the suitors wash ashore
tiny island
get much better than before
and I'm better than the reaper sowing
(how you give it along)
(give me benny's for the creeps
I died alone my nights of sleep
and I'm much better than the reaper sowing)
Hide the islands

I got the zombie funk
I got the lumpy bunk
I got the baby crunk
I got the sticky gunk
I got the angry monk
I got the quiet punk
I got the zombie funk
I got the deadly hunk
I got the zombie funk
ooh aah eeh oh ah oh eeh oh ah ooh (zombie noises)

Bright Star
01:46
|
|||
Watch the rain fall on the distant sea
its like a ghostly web of memories
I remember all the tales told to me
of greater men than I would ever be
Oh, but none of them they ever knew
a shining star that's quite like you
Oh and one day all these elements will weigh
upon the Earth and sky to wash me all away
Oh, the brightest sky I ever knew
Om (watch the rain fall on the distant sea)

Pizza Shop Nitemare

They got it in for me running aground with two left feet
slice it into me god its a mountaintop to reach
I got it into me she says its not for free
There goes the cavalry bursting out of antiquity
I'm a new nominee, a hominy, a similar anomaly
well versed in astronomy the alchemy of chastity
I'm cool on the waning moon on my honeymoon, its an octaroon
scandaroon, sasketoon, sailin like a sad spadroon,
Silver spoon in the behistun, so jejune, not immune
(incomprehensible rambling/dreamlike narrative)
Suddenly the naked angel appeared
Something so happy I sang
Something so happy, got it in for me
I got some cool breezes corralling my bare feet
The pizza shop nitemare has turned into maidenhair
and I could not keep it up
for all to be eaten up

(round and round and round and round and)
It came at us like a curse
It was here before we were born
pulling all the wool from our eyes
putting all the wrong things in place
plucking all the light from the dark
and they've come to give you away
and they've come to strip off your bark
From behind the black veil exposed
so decreed before we were born
both meeting somewhere we've never been before
and where we'll never meet again
I'll see you there
I see you everywhere I turn
I couldn't bend so one and only future
that exposed a different past
and still I wonder where to put your face
a different cast disrobed
to taste decay, to face my back
the feet beneath my dirt
to paint the ground
and I'd spin round and round and round and round and round and round and round to win you back
I'll ride in black and blue but only safely bet
i won the curse to lose the war
a little more
(round and round)
a little more
(round and round)
just a little more
just a little more

and the world could drop away
see you from the sidelines
mention that they're scared from all they wake up knowing
so the world just drops away
in spite of all your stars
the final tiny eyelet of your bitter knowledge
when they let me lick the snake
underwater now
and breathing with a lung designed for infant waters
and the mob could smoke my face
giving all the pillars out
no one could let the lyrics fly the winter solace
and the world could drop away
see you from the sidelines
mention that they're scared from all they wake up knowing
so the world just drops away
in spite of all your stars
the final tiny eyelet of your bitter knowledge
