Bee Sting
03:42
|
|||
Your cupid has a poison arrow
And a mind shut down, the opening is narrow
In my opinion things are getting better
I know it's bullshit, we shouldn't be together
My bee sting has many arms to hold you
And you might just cry on any of my shoulders
Is that because my grip is getting tighter
Or is it just that we can't get any higher
One day late the darkest night
Come to greet you when you rise
May the shadows that do find you
Be a little unkind

Rolling With You
03:44

You wouldn't leave her alone for a night
Not all you want but it's good every time
All right, all right, you tried
Lady will show you with yesterday's eyes
Do what she has to to keep you in sight
In sight, in sight you stand by her side
When it starts rocking I'm rolling with you
Now you can't do it just to get through
The stairs in the hall disappear under you
One step away from losing that too
Built her a house with the words you bestowed
Then burned it down just to learn how to love
How to love, to love
Not enough, enough
When it starts rocking I'm rolling with you
Now you can't do it just to get through
The stairs in the hall disappear under you
One step away from losing that too
Hell in a basket, no handle to use
Wearing the way out the road don't want you
Out on the shoulder and still you can't see
I'm here at home when will you come to me
When it starts rocking I'm rolling with you
Now you can't do it just to get through
The stairs in the hall disappear under you
One step away from losing that too

Your Ghost
03:45
|
|||
When you were small the ghost was just a doll
Grew up alone in the thick of it all
Crying your la la la's your mama gave her love away
Invited company who never meant to stay
Grew into your body, got your own place
Met easy people with a similar face
Above and below you learned to smoke
And now you wanna stay
Rattling the change in the jar, there's enough to get through the day
Was it something you saw?
Asound that you heard?
Floorboards creak unforgivable words
I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it
Was anyone there at all?
Outgrew your body, moved out of your place
Bought a reclining chair, another morning to hate
Crying your la la la's your papa gave his life away
He put on a uniform and never went out to play
Was it something you saw?
Asound that you heard?
Floorboards creak unforgivable words
I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it
Was anyone there at all?
I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it
Was anyone there at all?

Under Bright Stars
03:11
|

You choose your battles carefully
Writing them off from a to z
One day late tell me all you feel
Then take it back cause it wasn't real
Sometimes a fire or just a spark
Keeps me aware that it is dark
When there is too much talk
Not enough time to be in your arms
No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing
Under bright stars
If all that you say is true
All of the love inside of you
Not what you say but what you do
Falling like dust in our bedroom
No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing
Under bright stars
I'll never be like you
Don't get how you live or what you do
Easy go and do it, make a dream
Neither one of us will let it be
No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing
Under bright stars
No misunderstanding, I know where you're landing
Under bright stars

Cowboy Summer
03:39
|

I want a cowboy summer
Longer and hotter than indian
Into the draught of winter
Like when we first met
The corn was so much sweeter
The wheat was so much taller
When we first saw each other
We had a little weather
Well I tried to slow it down
But I kept myself around
Now you see us in September
We are two cascading embers
You can't deny the clouds their thunder
Ask them to shade you only when the sun is high
I would not come here seeking cover
And it feels all right
Well I tried to slow it down
But I kept myself around
Now you see us in September
We are two cascading embersWell I tried to slow it down
But I kept myself around
Now you see us in September
We are two cascading embers
