Squigs

we exist before our essence
but you said i was wrong
and something comes between us
what do you say
thirsting for the arrow
to shoot ourselves again
and time becomes important
when there’s only so much left
the fear of fear is power
to nothings really there
and nothing will come between us
what do you say
we are whirlwinds who wish were were rocks

Turn You Into A Bird
04:18
|
|||
hey little girl haven’t you heard
i can turn you into a bird
just unfold your wings and fly
across the midnight summer sky
bridges span across my mind
a head in the clouds feeling so fine
hey little girl haven’t you heard
i can turn you into bird
come with me
can’t you see now
keep your eyes closed tight
we’ll fly off through the night
hey little friend why don’t you know it
c’mon now why don’t you show it
its a most unusual thing
just float above the trees and sing
dusk rushes in and the kites do their thing
a fog comes to cover everything
you’ll always know when the night has turned
i can turn you into a bird

Space Baby
05:00
|
|||
sleep tight my baby and breathe down
don’t let the stars keep you up
its all because of you i’m in peace now
its all because of you, you’re my sun
space baby listens to leaves now
whistling trees just for fun
someday she’ll be home with me now
until then the clouds will succumb
its all because of you i’m in peace now
its all because of you, you’re my sun
its all because of you i’m in peace now
its all because of you, you’re my sun
space baby what’s in your dreams now
do you cry on the grass where you run
i’ll fly on ship to protect you
and rockets wake everyone up

The Witch Is Dead
05:02
|
|||
the witch is dead, the witch is dead
can’t you see its over
the green man’s in a far off land
he’s only rolling over
a moon song shining all night long
lights up the sea with clover
ding dong its coming on strong
can’t you see its over
i’ll give it all
and only leave
my sanity behind
someone calls it beautiful
but its so hard to find
i’ll give it all
and only leave
whatever was mine
when i’m lighter
i can breathe
for you

Don't See Me
04:26
|
|||
cushion me
from the gaze of the sun
hide me from your cotton mind
i want to stay down
way under the tow
i want to find out how far i can go
don’t see me
let me drift away

Chelsea Roses
04:40
|
|||
meet me
greet me
then you come back again
and when you walk away
you’re never going home again
chelsea walls
are closing in tight again
roses floating down
the stairwells of my head again
stars awake
and shimmering their glow again
echoing the sounds
of time
beyond my own again

Neutrazona
03:04
|
|||
heading back to neutrazona
through dark kentucky caves
take your time
and get it right
radar bats
lighting up the maze
at the end
begin again
come back for the fight
by the time you get through neutrazona
the sun lights up
the night

Rodeo Clown Blues '66
03:01
|

you’ve got nothing more to lose
you’ve got nothing more to do
you’ve got nothing more say
about anything
yeah i’m alright crashing into you
nobody else is smelling so sweet
then you left me waiting for the nighttime bus
first i’m in the sky
and now i’m on the street
you’ve got nothing more to lose
you’ve got nothing more to do
you’ve got nothing more say
about anything
yeah i’m alright crashing into you
move faster now and generate some heat
i only thought forever was forever until you said
fly me to the sky
before you hit the street
you’ve got nothing more to lose
you’ve got nothing more to do
you’ve got nothing more say
about anything

Tingler
04:24
|
|||
something’s watching
seems to lose you
drag is pulling
the fire lifts you
and you don’t notice
that something’s burning
feel the tingle
then it drifts you
in the middle
of the morning
feel a tingle
and heed the warning
somethings missing
and there’s no yearning
the past is distant
hear it calling

Give It To The Elf
05:10
|
|||
give it to the elf
he’ll put it on the shelf
and play the kind of music
that he wants to hear
give it to the elf
he’ll talk about himself
and show you all the pictures
that he wants to see
zap, its the the nuclear age
zap, it began in a rage
everyone’s gone
and then the man with hair of straw
comes to stay
little gerald mouse
had run around the house
he gets into
all of lissa’s things
little gerald mouse
now runs around the house
teasing all the ladies
in their dungarees
give it to the elf
he’ll put it on the shelf
only gerald mouse
keeps avis away
it began to rain
when the tree would not grow
so cloe got on top of me
and filled the sky with snow

Disconnect

since i’ve been gone a long time
you’re waiting around for the sunshine
well i guess i can see that
no one will be like me
since i’ve been gone a long time
i’m waiting ‘round for the sunshine
don’t expect you to be there soon
and i come back to you
don’t expect to be there soon
when i come back
when i come back
when i come back
when i come back to you
