Short N Sweet
01:30
|

|
Sweet tooth, sharp soothe, still bruised
Short bangs with fangs, wild mama sang
Slow brew love stew
Thick with roux
Tante Pill oil spill
Save just what you can
Grainseed nosebleed
Never gave a damn
Love seed new breed
She said “I said god damn’
God damn.

U Already Know
03:45
|
|||
|
When we sit on the stoop
Of the bar with our cigarette
I can’t wait til it is our backyard
And we’re clean of all this mess
And oh! When I hold you
And you tell me ‘I know.”
Well I really know
I love you
It's so simple so easy
Despite all of these complexities
I can’t speak for you
But I been ramblin’ since I was two
I’ll always be your ramblin’ companion
And you can join me out
There when you can
Ooooh I know you
U already know
I love you

Foot Formed Fictions
04:30
|

Cinderelli dressed in jelly
Mama Falaya’s miracle swoon
Slightly toasted on the levee
Underneath that harvest moon
Star-crossed lovers fingers crossed
Patient ears with toil to mend
Gently swayin thru the waltz
Neither wants that night to end
And Oh My Darlin
Oh My Friend
Tell me this will never ever end
Spirits blend with one ambition
Whispered lyrics build the tension
As we spin in foot-formed fictions
Of us dancin’ bare in the kitchen
Creatures warm in the glowing sun
Gazing on the love we’ve spun
Home would grow throughout the years
Lead us to our final tears
Well Oh My Darlin
Oh my friend
Tell me this will never ever end
Said oh my darlin
Oh my friend
Tell me this will never ever end
We’ll make trust and space
Our saving grace
With a consummated faith
We’ll make trust and space
Our saving grace
With a consummated faith
But ever after never ends
What am I but just another?
Is the fate of every prince
To become the next stepmother?
So leave before you turn to gourd
My cypress knee buried before
Your faith and All that you adore
To be your toad forevermore
Cinderelli dressed in jelly
Mama Falaya’s miracle swoon

Lay It Low
01:15
|
|||
|
I get aproached I lay it low
Finding some strength or some confidence
The truth is that
In your absence
I live with sadness as much as i try to keep it hid
Feigning fondness for my company
But blanking out until they notice
I and obnoxiously blindly but blatantly in
In love with you

Over It
04:03
|
|||
|
I saw you
When you were over the other shoe
You flashed me your silk moonlight
But you were into it at night
Oh lord the games we play
When there is meaning in every stage
You can sing soliloquies
But you tempted me with your shake-y weight
Curving your spine between my grip
We worked it our on the nightshift
Silently and patiently we sneezed beneath that oak tree
In the night
You were all mine
But in day time
You are over it
Now you miss her
Want to kiss her
She is over it
We've been over this before
When is over really over?
When is over really over?
I don’t mind getting left behind
As long as you remind
Yourself to fall in line
Tonight
I loved you
When you were over the other shoe
You flashed me your silk moonlight
But you were into it at night

Queer Blue Hue
03:33
|
|||
|
Infinite love has its limits
Takes a balance of the intimate
We build and we break
We give and we take
I’d give you my everything
But you know what’s at stake
(The rivers and the lakes)
We’ve both been thru the mud
Ain't gonna repeat the same mistakes
Queer blue hue
Which will see us thru
No matter what they say
Or whatever the case
I can feel you thru the things
Nobody else can erase
Our spirits do swoon
In a golden dusted queer blue hue
Intimate love is big business
Inflates til the market crashes
I love you too much to see us fall in love
Cuz everything that goes up
Must come down from above
So be careful to lose
But I’ll see ya in that
Queer blue hue
Queer blue hue
Which will see us thru
No matter what they say
Or whatever the case
I can feel you thru the things
Nobody else can erase
Our spirits do swoon
In a golden dusted queer blue hue

Retardation of Decay
06:22
|
|||
|
Full stop enabled
I’ve been fairytaled and fabling
Retardation of decay
Teach the predator to pray for us
Fortune cookie fixations limit lasting relations
I can see more dimensions from a safer distance
Reinvest in the value of satisfyin’ our friendship
Oh mais yeah!
So now I’ll spin around lookin to clown without
That little frown that lonesome love had found
Was it on the ground?
Did it fall from one of our mouths?
No patronizing pantomiming
Just full support
And proper timing
But you know about those times
When your head gets jumbled up
And you feet feel old
And you can’t get up
And you can’t stop ramblin’
Makes no sense
Full momentum
No abandon
Everything is really what it isn’t
Wreckless psychotropic fantasy
Was it you or me
(it was) me
Nowhere to go for more than one day
No one to love and nothing to say
Man i was caught up in that bad way
What can I say?
Something about the way that we click
Makes it easy to imagine
Us escaping the emperor’s counterfeit
Thru some slit
But delirium never ends
Yeah the system is still rigged
Too many of our heroes are dying too quick

Checkmate
03:22
|
|||
|
You bit my wrist with eloquence
I bit lip in neglegence
So strange to sense a medicine
In another bein’s pressence
We barely know each other but my longing sleeps uncovered
I couldn’t even want another
Milk my descrated lover
He sings silence to my face
I am tired of disgrace
I am tired of disgrace
Oh disgrace, Oh disgrace
I am disgrace.
Will you hold my truth in check
And lay on this gruesome chest
Knight my bishop, rook my queen
Cut my king in checkmate please
Cut my king in checkmate please
Oh Checkmate
Oh Checkmate

Snakeskin
02:20
|
|||
|
We are not what we’ve done
But are just bags of intuition
The snakeskin
It crawls off right before all is lost
I’ve seen the worst of myself
In the street poets when they're off the clock
I’ve seen the best of me when we’re skinny dippin'
Thru the swamp all night
But that was just a dream or an analogy
Imagine all the critters in ever nook and cranny
Mosquito bites in places we’ve never seen
Oh but you know what i mean
I ain’t been the same since we came clean
Forever is a spectrum so I will wait forever
For us to be together forever ever ever
Meanwhile tequila heals us
Just like Jesus
Would if he could
