Tiger
04:57

He had a tiger’s mouth
Oh but we chased him out of town
Of town
Threw stones and shouts
Til all our stripes were shown
But the sergeant told us
To raise him as our own
She had a fearsome pout
She wanted to be alone
All the boys they wanted
To take her home
She filled space with doubt
When conversations got dumb
With her stick poke ouch
She played bass and drums all alone
It’s cold and she’s got the AC on but the fire’s burning
What happens when the flames get low and there’s no coal?
It’s cold and she’s got the AC on but the fire’s burning
What happens when the flames get low and there’s no coal?
Will she turn it up and make it snow
Will she turn it up and make it snow

Tree House

We live in trees
You don’t believe me
Well climb these branches you can see just what I mean
We call it love
But you think its funny
Well I’ll leave this party go right back where I belong
I’m glad I can’t remember dreams
I don’t care what they’re supposed to mean
No father’s lies no childhood schemes
Mother’s eyes all wet like streams
You can have my house
You can have my car
You can have my everything except for my guitar
Don’t wanna fight
Don’t want to go out to bars
Just want to listen to the passing of the stars
I’m glad I can’t remember dreams
I don’t care what they’re supposed to mean
No father’s lies no childhood schemes
Mother’s eyes all wet like streams
I’m glad I can’t remember things
Days we spent with birds and bees
Oh creeks and bamboo thick as thieves
Mother’s eyes all wet like streams

Carnival
04:11
|
|||
Turning your world upside down
Change from your pockets goes out windows
Don’t know how we can sit so quietly
Backwards in circles don’t look down
I’m feeling strange my head is loud
I can’t sit straight I can’t sit down
Don’t know how anyone sits comfortably
With hands in the air once more around
Turning my head up to the clouds
Can’t hear you scream its just so loud
I’m letting this thing take control of me
I’m feeling stuck I can’t get out

Elephant
03:58
|
|||
This isn’t really who I am
Don’t need to convince you
It’s fine if I’m the elephant in the room
You see me working with my hands
Don’t really work for you
If you you try you can see I am not what I do
It takes one to know one, I know
Can’t take what you save when you go
Give away all the love that you stole
And you’ll have nothing left to take home
It takes one to know one, I know
Can’t take what you save when you go
Give away all the love that you stole
And you’ll have nothing left to take home
But I don’t really give a damn
You’ll never fit my shoes
It’s alright girl I know
You’ve got so much to lose
So take my heart and take my hand
Both part of this old fool
Let me go let me fall
And crawl right back to you
It takes one to know one, I know
Can’t take what you save when you go
Give away all the love that you stole
And you’ll have nothing left to take home
It takes one to know one, I know
Can’t take what you save when you go
Give away all the love that you stole
And you’ll have nothing left to take home

Crowded Room
04:38
|
|||
When I’m downtown, people talk
Talk about her, the way she walks
Always so loud, the way they mock
I can’t hear a sound, whenever she talks
Alone in a crowd, crowded room
But I keep my focus, stuck on you
Don’t say a thing, don’t have to talk
Words just blow away like lines of chalk
In love there is no might
So my tongue with teeth I bite
I can’t tell wrong from right
And there’s blood in my mouth tonight
So I don’t come around, its no ones fault
Sick of the scene, tired of the swamp
I could be happy without, I just get so lost
Running out of time, while they all just talk
In love there is no might
So my tongue with teeth I bite
Can’t tell wrong from right
And there’s blood in my mouth tonight
When I’m starving for a fight
She comes and sets me right
Drains me of all my spite
And shows me what it could be like

Pity Party
03:48
|
|||
I’m gonna throw you a party
Just for you
It’s a pity party
So we can all cry too
Gonna tell everybody
So we all know who
Whose fault is it this time?
I know it couldn’t be you
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink
Watching your ship go down
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink watching you look like a clown
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink knowing that you won’t bail out
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink watching everybody drown
I’m gonna throw you a party
Though I know you won’t go
Busy with some new love
Or sittin crying at home
And everybody is wasted
Ready to go home
Got a mouth full of teardrops
For the sheepskin wolf
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink
Watching your ship go down
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink watching you look like a clown
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink knowing that you won’t bail out
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink watching everybody drown
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink
Watching your ship go down
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink watching you look like a clown
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink knowing that you won’t bail out
From where I’m sittin I’m watching your boat sink watching everybody drown

Give Me Back My Man
04:05
|
|||
She cuts her hair
And calls his name
Wishing everything could be the same
Like when she had him
I’ll give you fish
I’ll give you candy
I’ll give you everything I have in my hand
Walkin out of corvette’s
Package in her hand
Motions to all the seabirds
Throws divinity on the sand
I’ll give you fish
I’ll give you candy
I’ll give you everything I have in my hand
Give me, give back my man give me give back my man
Heads in a whirlpool
Spinnin round and round
If she don’t get her man back
She’s gonna drown
I’ll give you fish
I’ll give you candy
I’ll give you everything I have in my hand
Give her, give back her man give her give back her man

Market Place
03:47
|

Watch the cats
Watch how they act
Watch what transpires
As they hypnotize crowds galore, prowl the floor
Watch the fire
Fail to inspire
Some people just act
But its all been down before
Done before, oh
So take no heed
On your blood they feed
As you lose control
Through two tiny holes
So watch your back
For when they attack
Don’t go above ground
Might never be found again don’t go my friend
Watch for the call
Watch the heads fall
Everyone can be bought
Just name your price and then sold again, market place
So many give in
To beautiful sirens
No longer afloat
They’re dead they don’t know
And are you alone
Have all your friends gone
Did they give in
And leave you to fend

The River
03:33
|

Going down
To the river
Going down
To speak your name
Nobody can hear you
By the river
Let the black water wash away
All of the hounds
And the martyrs
I would see them
Steal away
Going down to the water
Let it take me wherever it may
Talk to me
Help me sink below
Say something
Cause I just can’t make it alone
Talk to me
Help me not feel cold
Say something
Cause I just can’t make it alone
Going down
To the river
Gonna pound
My fists in clay
I’ve just got to hear you
Churning harder
Let me sink down low to end my days
Talk to me
Help me sink below
Say something
Cause I just can’t make it alone
Talk to me
Help me not feel cold
Say something
Cause I just can’t make it alone
All alone

Sticks and Stones
04:16
|
|||
I prefer sticks and stones and broken bones
Because your words, they always hurt me
Yeah your words, they always hurt me
Man I really want to say something
I can’t remember what I said in my dream
I had the words just right I mean
Oh but then I forget it
Man the way you act is just so mean
Friends are tellin me to let you be
But its gnawing away at me and just can’t forget it
Last night I dreamed that we were up til three
Man it was just you and me
And we laughed about everything
But now I’ll forget it
Thinkin bout the way it used to be
Playing music we were making a scene
But those moments are lost to me
So I’ll just try and forget it
I prefer sticks and stones and broken bones
Because your words, they always hurt me
Yeah your words, they always hurt me

Down with the Ship
03:45
|
|||
I’m going down with the ship
You can read these words I make with my lips
I’m going down with the ship
Gonna hold on tight I won’t let go of it
I build walls all around me
Cause they found me
And I’m scared
Build em tall
And surrounding
Oh I finally got my piece and I don’t want to share
I’m going down with the ship
You can read these words I make with my lips
I’m going down with the ship
Gonna hold on tight I wont let go of it
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
Oh I want to wait but I can’t
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
But I know that you’ll never land
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
Oh I want to wait but I can’t
Oh I want to wait for you wait for you
But I know that you’ll never land
I’m going down but not drowning
I like darkness, don’t need air
Oh it’s all so astounding
They tell me what to do but I don’t want to care
I’m going down with the ship
You can read these words I make with my lips
I’m going down with the ship
Gonna hold on tight I won’t let go of it
