Big Blue Whale 03:16
lyrics

Oh big blue whale,  You sail the sea Oh big blue whale, Do you fancy me? Oh I fancy you I’d ride into, The amber sunset, On your back Oh big blue whale, You rule the sea Oh big blue whale, Do you fancy me? Oh I fancy you I’d ride into, The sky at night, Holding oh so tight… To your flippers in the wind The waves would carry us so far We’d share a squid by candlelight Then swim together, side by side Oh big blue whale, You are a chapter book You are a story I’ll sail, Like Captain Cook To navigate, Thru rising tides Protect me, From my lonely nights I’m on an island of my own out here And the waves, they make it hard to steer, This imaginary love affair, This voyage to become a pair Like oars aboard a rowing boat, They lean into the vessel’s bow, And paddle bravely thru the waves, Together rowing towards their great escape

I was walking in the city, and I took a right I took a right I was walking in the city, and I took a right I took a right I was feeling kind of restless My bones were shaking right between my knees I was feeling kind of restless My feet were walking circles in the street My brain it froze, But words they came, Like waterfalls, Whose tongues had thawed I was walking in the city, and I took a right I took a right I was walking in the city, and I took a right I took a right I was wanting to jump out of my skin, Into an invisible world, Where everyone is water, And their faces drip away on down the drain My skin, it crawled My fingers wept The air had crawled Into my breath And I was feeling kind of dizzy And I wasn’t alright I was feeling kind of tongue-tied But the words, they came out right

Enough 04:46

Find a penny, pick it up Hope that it’ll be enough Save it for a rainy day, When I’ll have to pay my way Find a penny, pick it up Hope that it’ll be good luck Wish I didn’t have to say, “Enough’s enough” Inch by Inch Foot by Foot Drop by Drop Tick by Tock Inch by Inch Drip by Drop Hand by Foot Hand to Clock The holes in your pocket don’t explain The change falling out can’t be blamed I wish you could say all the words of your old heart I wish you could say all the words of your older soul I wish you could say the words your heart plays I wish it wasn’t so easy for you to turn away But I know, When you know that you don’t know, You know I wish I could pay for the words of your old heart I wish I could buy all the words of your older soul I wish I could find all the pennies on the ground I would add them up until I had enough Back to the way things were Now, where did I leave off? Back to the way things were Now, where did I leave off?

Kill the little baby inside Kill the tiny man with the shotgun pistol Kill the little baby inside Kill the tiny man with the shotgun pistol Kill the little baby inside Kill the tiny man with the loaded firearm Kill the little man nearby Kill what’s being born in the bigger body Fire one for me Let’s fire two, Until we bleed back into… Fire one for me Let’s fire three, Until we fall back into form We were born in a tiny world We will die a tiny death Little men, they rest inside They will die a tiny death

Groundhog Day 03:23
lyrics

Can’t wait to wake up Can’t wait to go to sleep Can’t wait to, Do it all again! Can’t wait to go to work Can’t wait to go to sleep Can’t wait to, Do it all again! Same face, same mirror Same thoughts, same fears Set off- 8:08! I am waiting, On and on and on And I’m tired of it all I’m tired but I’ll, Do it all again! All I do, Is repeat my days because I’m so afraid of change All I say, Are the words that bled onto my tongue and came out of my lung Yesterday, It was the same, But with a different number and a different name I needed change, So I looked to you and said… “I’m married to the sea, And you’re married to the waves, Why can’t we swim away?” If seasons were a day, And a day was just an hour, Would flowers bloom and wilt away, On the same day? Can’t wait to wake up Can’t wait to go to sleep Can’t wait to, Do it all again.

Helicopter 03:19
lyrics

You are a pterodactyl with a helicopter’s wing You are a prehistoric bird who’s taken to the wind I’ll catch your eye and make you sigh a million heartaches Until you fly, over high and dangerous places You are a pterodactyl with a helicopter’s wing You’re gonna fly into the walls of a new print magazine You’ll make the headlines for famous favors, To the queen of ordinary opportunity You have a broken needle and your record’s standing still You’ve got a diamond suitcase and a treasure chest of bills You walk in strides, leaping over, Silent, mummified brides from your old history, Of hovering and forward flights You are a falling plane crash and your engine is on fire Your arm is making faces as you wave into the wind, And pass me by, and make me cry a million heartaches Up in the sky, I see archives from your history, Of hovering and fallen flights

Black balloons Will there be black balloons at my funeral, If I die on the eighth day of July? If I can make it to that day, If I can last until that day, If I can make it through this day… I like to think I do not really live here I don’t really think that I exist here And there’s no one to think of or think of me And that makes me happy and relieved, That I won’t have to feel the sun, Intrude and roar with its sharp tongue No, there’s no one Nothing, it’s quiet So quiet It’s still And so quiet inside But the rising of the tides is never far behind Springs come as highs, they come disguised But I know they lie, They’ll leave me dry They’ll leave me dry every time They’ll come and leave me dry every time I like to think I do not really live here I don’t really think that I exist here And there’s no one to think of or think of me And that makes me happy and relieved, That I won’t have to feel the sun, Intrude and roar with its sharp tongue No, there’s no one Nothing It’s quiet

If I told you I really wanted to be a star, Would you cut me back down to size? I shrivel in your eyes I get so small, My head it hardly leaves the floor If I met you when I was seven on the tire swing, Would you be tired of my tricks by now? Would you be saying, “Girl, your milk’s gone sour,” “It’s time I take you off the shelf.” Rolling liar’s dice on a joker’s table You’re breaking my words into a million pieces Telling me stories of a fairy tale fable I’m breaking your words into a million pieces If you left me, So you could be a big pop rock star, I would have to tell my jealousy, To breathe a sigh of integrity I need a chorus of my own But if I am stuck here for one more year, And bad luck catches up with me… If I’m left here still pouring drinks, I’ll pour my precious pity down the drain Because I’m betting bills, That I don’t even have I’m faking fame, Inside my phantom mind You tell me, “Hon, oh yeah, I’ll take you far.” I’ll tell you, dear, “You never stick to your word.” Rolling liar’s dice on a joker’s table You’re breaking my dreams into a million pieces Telling me stories of a fairy tale fable I’m breaking your dreams into a million pieces You’re breaking my dreams into a million pieces I’m breaking your dreams into a million pieces I’m breaking my dreams into a million pieces

I’ve been reading my life like a book on a tape I’ve been waiting for the end to hear my fate I’ve been studying all the words so I can say my lines I’ve been reading my life from inside my mind Let’s go, rally raid! Drive me to the dying age I want to know, death row- How long til the final show goes down? I’ve been dreaming my death from a holding cell I’ve been doing my time, but I cannot tell now, If this girl over here has got her head on straight, Or if she’s pulling my leg just to see it break She said, It’s one for the money and it’s two for the show Three, I got a shiny dollar Four, I’m out the door And if I make it out alone, well then I’ll be fine It only takes one man for a suicide Let’s go, rally raid! Drive me to the dying age I want to know, death row- Who will win the final show? I bet, one on Lucky 63 One on, Lucky 31 I’ve been looking for a way I can pass the time I’ve been searching for a way I can leave my mind
I’ve been running in a circle because I can’t slow down But I’ve got this funny feeling I should turn around Let’s go to the final show I want to know who wins and who gets old Let’s go to death row Let’s bet our money on five fourfolds I want to go, rally raid! I want to know who wins and who gets paid I want to go, rally raid! I want to bet my money and lay the stakes I’ve got, one on Lucky 63 One on, Lucky 31

You walk, you walk I like the way you walk You draw, you draw I see the way you draw You talk, I talk I like it when you talk You stop, we stop It’s quiet And everything disappears It’s still, and a hole is left between my ears And everything disappears The seasons change like a shifting of gears You ride, you ride I watch you ride your bike You walk, you walk I watch you lift your feet We talk, you talk I let our eyes meet You stop, we stop It’s silent And trees start to lose their leaves The dirt turns to mud, like a scab that bleeds And everything disappears, Like a break in a song as the chorus nears… Turn it on, turn it up! It’s something new, and you think it’s love Turn it on, turn it up! Before the record ends and I’ve had enough You’ve got, you’ve got A dagger in your pocket You’ve lost, you’ve lost The blade on your tongue You’ve got, I’ve got Led Zeppelin III You play it, we’ll play Just call me “Tangerine,” And I’ll kiss your lips As long as you keep playing all the hits, I’ll hum along til the album’s end, Then press rewind and start it again Turn it on, turn it up! It’s something new, and you think it’s love Turn it on, turn it up! So the song drowns out the drone of your breath And I’ll be in love, And I’ll be in love And I’ll be in love, And I’ll be in love And I’ll be in love, And I’ll be in love And I’ll be in love, And I’ll be in love And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love With the melody, or maybe with the beat And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love With the melody or maybe with the beat And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love With the melody or maybe with the beat And I’ll be in love, I’ll be in love With the melody or maybe with the beat
