Cackle 03:30
Spark bubbles flying on a cloudy day Don't know which way is the wind Signs and sighs of a long lost time Maps on a wrinkled skin Chasing dragonflies in your soiled shorts Candy and cavities in your cackle World was a studio built with your thoughts Scaffolding time couldn't tackle Chasing dolls in your spring-clean shirt Wit and ash in your lungs World was a studio built with your toys Scaffolding time left unsung Daffodils gave way to diamonds Bicycles went out of fashion Butterflies shed Their wings and cried Your studio crumbled and died...

Breaking mirrors up to to dawn Baby let me take you higher All you see around is you-ou-ou Don't you ever get tired You say it's just a habit You ain't trying too hard to break it In fact I think you quite enjoy it Why don't you take your shit and beat it beat it baby Pissing mixing hourglass fixing Breeding feeding leading losing Pissing mixing hourglass fixing Breeding feeding leading losing Watching close under my nose Playing host to the braindead ghost Watching close under my nose Playing host to the braindead ghost Watching close under my nose Playing host to the braindead ghost Watching close under my nose Playing host to the braindead ghost Put it away Put it away yeah Put it away now Put it away hey hey hey Put it away put it away I say Put it away put it away Put it away put it away I say Put it away Hey hey hey hey hey

I don't want to die in my baby's arms I don't want to die at all So I fear for my time I want to take my trip before the fall And the lady by the window in Amsterdam Says "Come in if you wanna have a good time" But I'm not sure I want to go but i'm too slow to catch the sunset of my flow And the trees are calling "Come out and play" But I'm too cold, man. And the moon keeps laughing at my fate As i keep on running from my running And the pretty boys with the blue eyes they say "Babe you wanna score?" But I'm not sure I wanna go But I'm too slow to catch the sunset of my flow Hey hey hey hey hey hey You keep slipping from my fingers With sweetness on her fingertips she brushes back her hair Am I in love with a woman or am I her, I just don't care And the lady by the window She rubs her Silver thighs and as I press my head against the glas I see her smile And the trees are calling...(repeat) Hey hey hey Hey hey hey You keep slipping through my fingers.

Gin and Lime 03:48
Raining since morning it's been raining all night Ain't seen no sunshine ain't seen no clear light Oh no Called up my wife she said she's far away gone Called up my kid she said she ain't coming home Sitting by my fireplace/foulplay Sipping on my gin and lime Sitting by my fireplace/foulplay I am sipping on my gin and lime Met a pretty lady in a country bar Wore blue jeans and she smoked a cigar Oh yeah/I said wow I said oh lady won't you come home with me Got a lot of things you ain't never seen She said no Sitting by my fireplace/foulplay Sipping on my gin and lime Sitting by my fireplace/foulplay I am sipping on my gin and lime Cleaned up my kitchen to make a new start Knock on the door I see my sweetheart Oh yeah Seeing her face I couldn't help but smile I said Oh Baby Now it's been a while Oh yeah Sitting by my fireplace/foulplay Sipping on my gin and lime Sitting with my baby I am sipping on my gin and lime Waiting for my kid I said I'm sipping on my gin and lime Sitting by my fireplace/foulplay I said I am sipping on my gin and lime

Hello 03:15
I got a handful of lovers a pitcher full of blues and madmen dance beneath neon hues With their thongs and shakers whores heartbreakers in my circus of lust amuse if you must Won't you come for a day Indulge in your games But I'm bored of you boy Find me another toy You spit in my face Put your hurt on display Let's stop pretending And that's when i Sing. Hello. You look a different man Is that Wrinkles I see on your face? I see. You've finally come of age. Too long. You say you cried in your bath room for a day a whole day hey hey hey. You were crazy Like a fool but oh so cruel was i to you. Then you denied And everything turned out fine Everything turned out fine... And then came a little road that was happy n dark n sad. And I walked alone Hoping my dreams don't haunt me mad. And then came a little stop. It said Stop here right Now.

Stone 03:34
I went looking for some inspiration I found a charcoal picture of you I got lost in the labyrinth that we made Now you're out and I'm still searching for my cue I gave you a sweater when you were in tears You swore you'd never forget the temperature that night I gave you a flower and waited for sunshine but it grew wings and flew out of my mind These are the ways that I have yearned and grown These are the ways that I have come to know Hey you lover have you turned to stone or have you stopped looking for answers when i ask do you know what turns me on

Tea 03:20
We used to meet for coffee Smoking our dreams Complaining about the traffic and the dust in the wind Then you told me something I held you in my arms Till we turned cold I thought it was love I thought it was love I thought it was love love love Then you left the country Never to meet again thought it would be different till you called one day you said baby baby if you were here with me we would meet for coffee and the air's pretty clean this side which side how come you're still talking to me are you thinking of the days of riding the cream Oh baby I've been so so far away from you I don't drink coffee anymore would you care for some... Now you have a beard and put on a little weight it's been a few years but I've got to say Looking pretty good now better than before I wish that we could make it but I've got to go that side which side how come you're still talking to me are you thinking of the days of riding the cream Oh baby I've been so so far away from you I don't drink coffee anymore I said I don't drink coffee anymore would you care for some... would you care for some...
