Throwing in the Towel

Throwing in the towel
could it be mine
feel it go...
I feel it though
A whip in a basket
(bad thing smoking)
crawling out a casket
(grass ring token,)
thinking like a bad kid
(Saturn's notes and)
like I'll never have it
(patterns holding)
I whip and I basket
(?...)
crawling out my casket
staring at a rabbit
eating at some cabbage
A whip in a basket
falling out my casket
like I'll never have it
crawling out my casket
falling out my casket
Heel, right o'er here
Throw it in the towel,
can't it be mine I feel it go?
Throwing in the towel
couldn't be mine.
I feel it low.
Throw it in the towel
Throwing in the towel...

Hello, You're Not Awake
02:26
|

Where's the wave I followed?
To reshape I swallowed all of my hate
and toppled on the safeguard.
They saw the wake they made
and sent the faintest arrow to my face
and narrow missed its place.
I spared 'em all
And chaste, embarrassed your the ape
I fell on to a base-level
to check my pace-
hello, you're not awake
Chew up my arm
helps me yawn
don't I feel better on the lawn
soak a sigh
teethe the air
I'm here and I can feel you care

Best Carpenter
07:37
|
|||
He was the best carpenter, he loves to fish the aquifer. But he knows it's gonna turn them over too fast. And he shined on like a candle done: the pints, a finished handle of something really mystic- to shoulder 'em past.
"What's it gonna be like?" and "What's he gonna sing like?"
He called on John on Boxing Day. "To follow fun, get lost in space. You'll meet up with the masses and the masses of fire". And he said to Matthew "I must be scared, but I would help you, and not the care. And if it seems they've trapped you, I'll trap you in a choir. They'll sign you up a new life, singing of the new light. Two by two."
He was the best carpenter.

Uncomfortably Fun
05:42
|

Uncomfortably fun and I need some
when it kicks up and starts to run
Gotta run it back to where it's from
Consorted me and ways I've done
Days away
And days I liked the way
Ways to be so given up,
hater be cold or risen dumb
something, I'm told,
is driven such
way down south where they don't give a fuck
and I've been told something about the way that they don't.
On the river bed in my head
(two by two)
river bed flow onward bound
river bed flow, down the ground
out of the wood work, makes that sound
river bed flow onward bound
out of the way now, back to the south
out of the woodwork and back to the ground
river bed flows out of bounds
river bed goes without a sound now
yeah, everybody says he's dark
cuz they know he's dark, yeah
everybody knows their part
cuz they've said their part
everybody says their lot
because it says a lot, yeah
Is it obvious yet?(uncomfortably fun)
Is it obvious, no? (uncomfortably known)
Well is it obvious, yet? (uncomfortably fun, uncomfortably shown)....
In comfort I'll be yet, in comfort I'll be, no

Meet is Murder
06:02
|
|||
When we meet it's murder to me. I'd like to speak indefinitely and to be typecast sailing the sea with my hand over eyes, scoping the scene. A telescope under my wing. My first mates mating out on the wing of a plane that rose up from the deep of the darkest ocean we've ever seen. I could writhe out of the sky, or get lost in rainbows at night. I could leave you in this town. I could leave you all around, and it doesn't need to be a waste. I can't even feel the brakes. I can't even see the shapes. I can't even see your shape... Your shape around the perfect sunset. Your shape around, perfect I'd bet. Shape around the perfect heartache. Shape around the perfect love made.
I miss you so much the thought is a dud.
I'm running in stilts, but I never get stuck.
I'm joining up a habit with a couple of nuns.
Gotta run from my fears, because I never have fun.
Jumping through the forest with the sticks and the rocks,
gotta make my own shrine so I never get caught.
(When we speak it's murder to me...)
Take my advice baby, don't get bought by any old man in a mason lodge
On the melody maker, frogs in machine
Gotta hate my own ways
row me out of this dream
row me out of the stream
merrily...
Out of this dream.

Another Life
05:22
|
|||
I really don't even bother to know the place that I'll wander. Just speak up, get rid of all hurt- that's been done. I don't really harbor.
But I'll get to the place
get to the right
go into space
come out aligned
go to the home,
get to the room.
Be good alone,
and not aloof.
And when I really see a light
a special place is out of sight
cuz what's the real?
What's the done?
Who's the love?
Where's the fun?
Be a set of ears,
be a set of eyes,
be a bag of bones that are set alright
be a little more
have another tune
be another house and an uncle too
be a little last
be a little gun
have another gas
have a little some
have another pass
and another one
get a couple laughs
and a telephone
another dear
another I
another we're another time
a never leave, a never lie
another "see you another time"
have I never lived another life?
I don't know where I wander, and I don't really want to bother
anyone at anytime
Here's it. Like to see? Gonna make it all out, never liked naked prophecy, and I'd never recover from, something I'd never, would make it something I'd never run from from from
something that I'd never run far from from from...

Everything is Crying Now
04:42
|
|||
In the air it's screaming clean, unnerving and obscene.
Laughter all I cannon ball,
Flopped down on to it's knees.
Clap of fear, another year, and a countdown to a dream that never ends. And all of your friends will die.
Everything is crying now I think I've got it down
Once a candle's wick is out,
it makes some sense somehow.
Give all the best to all the guests in life.
I'm unfolding. I'm unknowing.
I'm not growing up at all.
I'm up for falling down
And in the round and out of bounds it rolls up with the rest.
Blinking down I doubt it now I think you might have guessed.
It's all I've found.
Everything is crying now.
