I saw you blush when you talked about her wedding dress
For the first time when she hadn't tried it on yet
I think you're young, but you're older than my little brother
And now it feels like you are older than me too
But if it gets fuzzy or if she can't care for you
You gotta say what's true
Before you waltz away in your mother's arms
For the last time when you didn't understand

There's a hole at the bottom of the sea
There's a cardshark who plays for keeps
There's a bull I'm not willing to ride
There's a traveler who won't go inside
In the end, I break into fits
Buck my reins and chomp at my bits
But the traveler, he waits and he sits
He won't get into the thick of it
There's a hole where his head used to be
There's a shoulder she used to keep company
There's a chance I'm not willing to take
That's a choice that I'll have to make
In the end, I break into fits
Buck my reins and chomp at my bits
But the traveler, he waits and he sits
He'll pretend he's not sick of it

Strut
Fluff my feathers like I know what's what
Up
Til I hit the pavement like an uppercut
And I won't, no I won't talk about it (mmmm)
Cuz then it exists
Stuck
I'm through sweating all the casual stuff
I'm dumb
I'll cross my fingers and I'll count on luck
It won't work
But I won't admit it's a problem (to you)
Cuz then it exists

Eaten By An Octopus!!!
03:34
|

Way down in my soul there's an octopus, soft and wiggly
And it's growing up, and it wants to eat me
Before the mechanical octopus eats me
Deep inside of my heart there's a passive understanding
That I'm growing up, and I need an answer
Before I explode or an octopus eats me
All over the globe there's an ocean, and it's heaven
I don't think that I can get out of the water
Before I get sick and I need penicillin
Way down in my soul there's a scapegoat, I'll take it
Cuz I'm growing up and I need an answer
Before I explode or an octopus takes me and eats me

Something In Your Eye

Soft breeze in the summertime
Everybody's dancing
Dancing in a row
I felt the sting of the very first kiss
So so long ago
It'll make you wonder how long you've been in the throes
Laughter's streaming in with the sunlight
There's music all around me
And nothing feels old when I'm with you
And we're looking out the window
Kinda makes you wonder how long you've been in the throes
Have you got something in your eye?
Whatever you want
Tell me anything
I'm not in it for the platitudes
Call it what you want
Call it anything
As long as it's with you
Parallel in the lilacs grinning
Eating golden apples
And basking in the glow
By the time we reach our destination
It's almost time to go
Can't help but wonder how long you've been in the throes
Have you got something in your eye?
Is it gonna make you cry?

Repose and I've devoted
More attention than it's worth
To finding the right posture
So I am not in pain
All I've got here with me, the evening, and the chair
Is a dirty red bandana
And everything tastes the same
And I feel like everyone I know is sick
And I feel so low
And so
I'm losing motor movement
And feeling in my hands
Tethered to my body
Maybe I'll just split
Love and opportunity
One flight down the stairs
If I could fix my panic
I'd make it back up to you
And I feel like being ill is commonplace
And I feel so low
And so
Everything I want to say is a mystery
Everything I want to say, anathema
Everything I want to say
You are standing in the way
Everything I want to say

Two Sisters

Two sisters
One breaks a heart, one breaks an ankle yeah
Two pictures
One of herself, one of the other yeah
One likes the light on the hill
Shadows make the other one hold still
Two sisters
One has a ring, one has a flower yeah
Two hours
Cake on the staircase, congradulations yeah
One waits to stick out her neck
The other one wonders what's next?

Borrowed Time

You said you wanna bump your shins
Track dirt on the carpet just like the other kids
You said you wanna leave this place
Move into the city and dig yourself some space
That's all I've ever wanted for you
Sometimes I need a stranger to make me feel like myself again
Sometimes I need a picture to remember where I've been
I keep on dancing down the line
It's nice to say I came with hope, left with borrowed time
You said you wanna shake and shout
Tear out all the tastebuds from their crooked mouths
You said you breathed deep today
Saw all of your problems in a different way
That's all I've ever wanted for you
Sometimes I need a stranger to make me feel like myself again
Sometimes I need a whiskey, sometimes I need a gin
But I keep on dancing down the line
It's nice to say I came with trash, left with borrowed time
