hey weather man
your storms brewing
i forecast she leaves you
at the first sign of lightning
am i on your radar?
i'm on the runway.
i can weather your storm
just zip it up
and keep it in
there'll be no feeling
in her kitchen
just fry the eggs
in your flames of rage
i can weather your storm
up up and away
can you see me smiling?
can you see me flying?

mrs. coffee

drip drip drip in the coffee pot
thoughts of you drop in a lot
you opened doors and rang the church bells loud
inside my heart
and i sang you a song
but you did not sing along
and i heard our harmonies
but you did not sing with me
you wanted to drink of my black sea
and you wanted to taste the strong woman in me
no sugar no cream
i grind the darkest bean
the little bird she lost her wings
on the perfect wind machine

behind the books
04:12
|

i know your face
take my hand
we'll travel places
we've never been
cry if you have to
tears are good
when will you show me who lives
behind your books
i know this dance
i've made these missteps
but we can pave a new path
in our darkness
late at night i wonder how he tries
to carry the whole world
late at night i wonder if he might try
and save the whole world
he fell for a girl who was locked away
and how he stays
i'm coming home
to a place i've never known
i'm coming home
behind your books

little fish

little fish swim for your life
upstream i heard singing upstream
you got to fight against the current
fight against the current
fight against the current
little fish
father don't criticize
mother don't feed me your lies
my brother nearly drowned
and my sister's been going down
little fish swim
swim, swim through
our shipwrecked lives

big sea
05:36
|
|||
|
she slipped right through a crack in the day
i couldn't find the words to
make her stay
the soul's been slipping away
in the big sea
she goes to places you cannot see
i feel the pain she
cannot speak
the soul's been slipping away
in the big sea
i'll plunge the depths with you
i'll hold the treasure of you
when the fear is strong
we will sail along till we reach
your sacred ground

red tape
04:11
|
|||
|
the dishes and the laundry never end
the second hand just keeps on ticking
through the traffic jams the scams the way
she's faking it
come on and sing me a song
make it better for at least three minutes long
you think i'm escaping
but i think reality is breaking through
the red tape around me and you
bills to feed and mouths to pay
i got the cat box to clean today
it's salty he put his finger on me
world war three will we fight for clean
water or die in heat waves and
catastrophes she prays jesus
save us from responsibility
voiceless prophesies
too many unlived dreams
useless degrees and not enough money
to get all i think i need
psychoanalysis, electro-isis
perfect skin will we be beautiful in
our graves?

wings
02:40
|
|||
|
hold me in your arms
you hold me much to tight
my feathers are falling out
not sure i'll ever fly
when darkness circles in
this snowy road i've been
driving in
to the unknown
i've left the steel beams behind me
but i'm still
searching
searching for eyes
that recognize me
and hands open to land
and sky again
i'm still searching
for my wings
