Hollies
by the field the farmer's daughter drowned
it is you
red green, whites a holly crown
it is you
subtle call and i hear you callin
race down just to fill my eyes, oh
i'm never, never, never, never, never going to love you like you want me to
i'm never, never, never, never, never going to love you like you want me to
when i'm weak i find the holly crown
it is you
snow falls and still i hear the sound
i know its you
subtle cry and i hear her callling
white crown it hit the ground, oh
no i'm never, never, never, never, never going to love you like you want me to
no i'm never, never, never, never, never going to love you like you want me to
Dust, Dust
gonna take my time to sink
gonna take the current i need
i stall in the itty bitty currents at the cold floor of the sea
gonna brace from the waves that blow
gonna wash up with the weeds that crawl from
the endless beating waves that would break apart the beach
anything you think of
anything you dream of
what could you become
if you return to me
gonna float to the mess in your house
gonna make your children sneeze finally
the curtains spread wide and i float in the light of the beam
gonna kick back and watch em fall
once its seen that this is all and all and
soon we'll hear another tale to the vanity
anything you think of
anything you dream of
what could you become
if you return to me
dust, dust, dust, what could you be
Pit
well down here
its all so clear
there's only a little bit of light
to divide us now
theres only a little bit of light
to divide us now
i understand what i must do, im digging a pit going to call it babel
well up there
there's only one tall chair
it sits above us all
to unite us soon
it sits above us all
to unite us soon
understand what i must do, im digging a pit going to call it babel
i understand what i must do, burning both wicks get caught in the middle
understand what i must do, im digging a pit going to call it babel
i understand...
Dreadnaught Drivers Waves
walk straight
got a bee hive buzzin brain
walk straight
weighing the cost to play with rain
filling up
to the line
to the line
walk straight
one leg cocked, curled and lame
walk straight
yes i pray for rain again
you stop
and move
making them waves to break spill and change
and change
and change
the line
the lline
in a dreadnaught driver's waves
is there a war you say we can keep
is there a war we can play on repeat
could anymore taste so sweet
does any line bend, break or retreat
i don't know where to draw
the line
the line
in a dreadnaught driver's waves
walk
straight...
Gods
carve a block of marble, clay or stone
sly cool mouth below the nose
one eye, two eyes
cheek bones that’s could brace a third world war
make him eat rust and your prayers forbode
a never ending bust you can call your own
one lie, two lies
watch him look up to the master’s throne
take another drag and tell me that it’s easy
take another drag and tell me that it’s easy
i make the young come flocking to me
watch me now, cause here they come
i want thunder in the walls of your home
i want lightning in the needle of a rose
curb a little fear in a public place
you know he’s here watching your face
one lie, two lies
now i wonder if death is the third
can’t imagine baby’s outgrown the bed
don’t worry now bury your head
take another drag and tell me that it’s easy
Chalk It Up
chalk it up to the top of the mole hill you try, you try
often told its a mount of the old, do they lie, do they lie
chalk it up to the top on your own any time, anytime
chalk it up to the top of the roll and you try,
you try,
chalk it up to a rock in a roll and you try, you try
time won't show the way
leave a little pebble and i swear she'd stay
chalk it up to the top of the roll you try, you try
chalk it up to a sisyphean love and you try, you try, you try
chalk it up to the back of the roll, you try, you try
chalk it up to the back of the roll, i swear this time it'll cross the line
chalk it up to the back of the mole hill you try, yes you try you try
chalk it up to the back of the roll you try, you try, you try
you try
time won't show you the way
leave and little pebble and she'd stay
tell her you need her
tell her you need her
Pleasure
got some time to wonder
if your mind will go that far
quick love ruby luster
dogged dip shit lust and heart
well the lonely rings are swirling round
tying my throat to every sound
wrapping my knees to the boot heel ground
circle joy of pain, the riddles found
i get a pleasure when you’re around
i get a pleasure when you’re around
got a planet’s time to dive in
that ain’t the prize i ain’t playing for
it’s the shy, crying thunder
fear and craze for a no at the bar
well the lonely rings are circling round
circling my eyes in a sleepless drought
looping that drain where the lovefool drowns
making joy of pain the only god in town
i get a pleasure when your around
i get a pleasure when your around
joy of pain begs to resound
City of Dreadful Night
from wandering through many solemn scene
of opium visions and a heart serene
and an intellect miraculously bright
i wake from the daydreams to this real night
from prayer and fasting in a lonely cell
which brought an ecstasy ineffable
love and adoration and delight
i wake from the daydreams to this real night
from making hundreds roar and laugh with glee
by my transcendent feats of mimicry
a humor wanton as an elvish sprite
i wake from the daydreams to this real night
endlessly night
from drinking fiery poison out in a den
crowded with the tawdry girls and squalid men
they horse and laugh and curse, they brawl and fight
i wake from the daydreams to this real night
from picturing with all beauty and all grace
first eden and the parents of our own race
luminous rapture unto all men's sight
i wake from the daydreams to this real night
endlessly night
thus challenged by that warder sad and stern
each one responded with his countersign
they entered the cathedral and in turn
i entered also having given mine
lingered there until, i heard no more
and marked the closing of the massive door
Tommy
tommy’s feeling down again
i swear he needs a friend
tommy’s feeling down again
well he really needs a friend
like an actor starts a band
it’s a start smart guy
share your tale you ran
chase it around surprised
