LASHES TO LASHES
I’ll tell you something and you will like it
Look deep in my eyes don’t try to fight it
Lashes to lashes and bust to bust
In blood united, in fun we trust
Before I knew you, you seemed so high
But now I’ve joined you high in the sky
Over the rainbow and we won’t come down
You sing when I sing. Can’t sing with a frown
I’ve got ideas, will you help me out?
Cameras are rolling, time to learn how
When lights shine in your eyes just pretend you know
Sell us something good before we go
Tell us what you know
Tell us what you know
Tell us what you know

Something Good
03:03

I was in the house eating soup
When I felt the arrow shoot me through
I picked up the phone, found your name
Said come hurry baby, so you came
Wait on the stoop while I come down
Wait on the stoop while I come down
And I know we’re something good
We walked by broken window panes
Then we kissed behind the dumpster and I came
I was flushed and bothered and beaming like the sun
I know we could walk along but baby let’s run
Wait on the stoop while I come down
Wait on the stoop while I come down
And I know we’re something good
Maybe I’m doing something right
I’m so lit up when I’m with you guy
Feels like I’m doing something right
When I’m with you the sky gets so high
Something tells me I’m into something good
Something

Stay Close

STAY CLOSE
There’s so much to do now
We were two now we’re three somehow
And I know that we’re gonna stay close
Looking back oh man were we gross
Holding hands all the time
With your palm on my spine
I’m not me if I can’t be alone
Wonder why I always stay home
Just to write in my book
Review the notes that I took
Yesterday or last week
And sing songs like a freak
Feeling up but a little bit down
What am I going to do now?
My girl’s good but a little bit bad
We’re stretched thin but it’s hard to be sad
I’ll make space for the thing
To drop on like a ring
And I’ll know when it fits
Because my heart will go lifting
I’ll write songs in my book
And I’ll fill them with hooks
That you’ll never forget
Has it happened? Not yet
But stay close my family
I want both to be
And I’ll wrap you in song
Is it really so wrong?
And you’ll never forget me
Did you forget me? Not yet
So stay close my family
Stay close to me

Are You?

Are you my brother?
And I need to know
And I need to show you
And I need my brother
Please do speak truth
My lover
My lover
‘Cause it frees us to know
If the doors are open we can go through
Back then, we didn’t know when to say when
So smothered in the covers
And I need to rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes, don’t you?
And we’ll walk out in the sun and say hi to everyone
How do you do?
My brother, my sister
It’s been a long long long time since I kissed ya

Green
03:36
|

The only way for me to be and let’s be honest
We’re all a little green
Envy me, I envy you
‘Cause you seem like you know just what to do
You seem to
I’m gonna ring the bowl
I’m gonna ring the bowl and set us free
That’s what I’ll do
And when I ring the bowl
You’ll take my hand and we might really see
And next time you go out walking
Pick a leaf and think of me
Me
Longing to be green and vital
Pulsing from the heart into a smile
I’m gonna dig a hole
I’m gonna dig a hole and set us free
That’s what I’ll do
And when I dig a hole
We’ll all fall in and germinate and start to grow
And we’ll all be green
Fresh and clean and new and green
Green

The Light
02:46
|

We’re getting by
You know something partner love’s not based on lies
And we both know it
But your face in profile
It’s dramatic
I’ll take an extra side of that
Can I?
Can I get closer?
Get a bit closer?
I’m getting real close to you
I’m getting real high
I’m letting go of you
We’ll both pass by
Into the light
Where things are fine
Everybody feels bored
So why do we do it?
Use our words like swords
Say it, say it
I’m feeling useless so I sit at the piano
Stare into the keys
What do they say?
My hands are your hands moving me from inside
I’m trying to find a place but nowhere to hide
Meet me in the light
Where it’s sublime
Maybe in the light
We will be fine

At The Piano
02:41
|

I know you’re going to hate me
When I tell you that lately
Things have started to change
And it’s hard to explain
You always take the bait
For your sake don’t you worry for me
I’m in my room and I’m not coming out soon
Don’t understand me
Things aint quite as planned to be
I’m always hunched on the piano
And not making no plans to go out or say hi
To your friends, to our friends
I just can’t let you in to my fortress room
It’s too gorgeous
Sitting rapt at the piano
And I won’t be distracted
It’s been days of torture
And your gaze is so scorching
I should lock up the hall
Sit still and wait for the call that will tell me my song
How to write out my song
One day you barged into my room to burst my bubble
and bubba
Took me right to the bed
Said this would clear up my head
And you took my gently and the damage was done
Laying together like pups in the sun
And some days we can’t handle her
She ain’t the way we planned her
But the baby can sing
And she sings loud with me
And we sit ‘round the piano
That’s what makes us feel happy
And we harmonize on songs
And there’s nothing to stop us
Or block us or keep us from singing forever

I Ran
03:29

If there’s something exciting tell me all that you know
‘Cause you know if I’m invited, I will be sure to go
‘Cause I’m always at home but I’m never alone
It’s a house full of fools and we’re dying to go
We’re like ahhhh
I was dancing milonga on the side of the road
I fell into the drainage ditch
So stupid, I know
‘Cause the party was outside I rolled down the hill
I woke up at the bottom and admit I felt nil
Just a ahhhh
You can meet me out dancing in the woods and the rain
‘Cause I’ve found that by twirling I release all my pain
If you like to sing loud and your feet have the itch
Call me up to go somewhere we can jump into the mix

When I Lay Down
05:03

How?
How come when I lay down
When I lay down when I lay down
There’s a loud loud sound?
They come when I slow down
When I slow down when I slow down
Here I’ve found echoes
Uh
Oooo
Oh Oh woah woah woah
Ahh
I am watching me
I’m watching me
I see three
Eyeye eye eye eye
Ayaye ayayaye
Eeeeeeee
How come when I go down
When I go down when I go down?
I see clouds
They are watching me are watching me
In my shroud
Echoes echoes echoes echoing
How come when I lay down
When I lay down when I lay down?
They come when I slow down when I slow down when I slow down
Here I’ve found
Echoes echoes echoes echoing

Take The Easy Way Out

Take the easy way
Take the easy way out
Tuck your head down
Take the easy way out
Turn things around
You know they’ll all work out
My my my my baby
Take the easy way
Take the easy way out
You’re an acrobat
So flip for the easy way out
Head into the light
I still think you might
Take the easy way
Why don’t you
Take the easy way out?
Take the easy way
Take the easy way out
My my my my baby

Out In The Yard
03:22

When we arrived you held my hand
But then you sent me off, this wasn’t my plan
What was I to do in this new place?
Wanna know how I feel? Just look at my face
I can’t speak and I won’t say
All the faith I’ve lost in you today
I’m swallowed up in crowds I don’t know
The sun passes over my head so slow
I’m catching on and I’ve made friends
But I say to you: don’t leave me again
I’ll gather sticks out in the yard
We get what we deserve mama more battle scars

Shiny
03:39

Just because you’re telling me so
Doesn’t mean that’s how things will go
Call me if your trail has gotten cold
‘Cause you know these days I walk real slow
You’re so shiny shiny to me
Come a little closer so I can see you gleam
Shining like a golden ring in the dark
Touch my hand you’ll surely see a spark
Seems to me you don’t have much to lose
Easy to say you never walked a mile in my shoes
Walk along with me in the dark
Drag my feet all through the park
If you ask me to I’ll sing
‘Cause you’re so shiny shiny to me o
