Rebecceth and Angstrom 03:10
lyrics

This is a novel of rebecceth and angstrom A story of a novel that's a perfect description of 'em This is a resurrection, this is a mass ascention This is a merger of a pair of eyes A pair of eyes A girl and a guy Strolling liquid mountain pile of consciousness World of listlessness is all we ever asked for Rolling down a fine collection of lucky charms My horseshoes' gone rusty, my clover has lost its leaves Pages fall from trees in bundles, 'n look like leaves Typewriter's movements are too slow Punctuation is a great idea when you're a Pair of writers in a canyon lounge This is a novel of Rebecceth and Angstrom A story of a novel that's a perfect description of 'em This is a resurrection, this is a mass ascention This is a merger of a pair of eyes A pair of eyes A girl and a guy Strolling liquid mountain pile of consciousness To stop this list would be a crime of second nature Radiate these words in circular friendship Who is it coming from tonight? This is a novel of rebecceth and angstrom A story of a novel that's a perfect description of 'em This is a resurrection, this is a mass ascention This is a merger of a pair of eyes A pair of eyes A girl and a guy

Floating Orange Honeymoon 03:35
lyrics

Too tall That's what you said about the window That's what you said about the vase I bought for your artificial roses It's small time business You don't want to be concerned with The small time his kiss Showers you with care but still imposes I stare Staring back into the splitting clouds That let me see the sun It's like a floating orange eye I glare Sometimes reflected A hundred thousand times From a lake No bigger than an eye But it's high tide The moon is passing over head This is my side I've only been where i was led And when i die Don't let them know that i am dead Let me hide Make sure everybody knows what i have said Falling, falling like a flute That's been tossed out a window It hums a pretty note This is what? Did you say this was a honeymoon? Well i would've prepared for this If I had known Now you and I sit facing each other Cross our legs and (mystery line) On a bed that's shaped like a heart But it's high tide The moon is passing over head This is my side I've only been where i was led And when i die Don't let them know that i am dead Let me hide Make sure everybody knows what i have said

Bobsled 03:18
lyrics

Could we try Try bicycles coming from the sky My angel's head is drooping Tuck my arms into my sides I listened for you Now higher still Break through the atmosphere I turn into a star My hands are the heavens And my voice is the sea I'll turn you into a bobsled I'm a popscicle stick Drag you across the desert Wagon cut out from a tree Soon soon all we'll do is blow Blow around into the sound Sound of my clothing on the Chair lift me up into the Air is something traceable I traced it with my finger On the kindergarten notepad With a voice from the sea I'll turn you into a bobsled I'm a popscicle stick Drag you across the desert Wagon cut out from a tree I'll meet you under the car tonight We'll make ourselves round Around and round we'll go Just like the earth and the wheel The wheels of the clock keep ticking time Time is a circle time is a wheel Everything comes back again Just keep happening never ends And if it ends it just Starts again and again Bury me under the sand Pull my feet till they come off Put them in the sky we tried Tried to tell you here we are The pavement turns us into Traffic signals maps of the world Fold us up and put us in the Glove compartment Love department I miss the time when this made sense I miss the time when we were traveling Traveling to Africa together in the fall The fall of man was in the springtime And i miss the time when You and i were hiking in the mountains And we took ourselves to try Try everyone tries it's My eye Turn to the sea and the sky I turn to the ocean the sea See Cut out from a tree

Inferno 04:08
lyrics

The street The subway The snowbanks and the dust The sidecar The sunset And the games Hold on to me my family I'm starting to fall Split in two like bookends On the shelf upon the wall I'm practicing my conscience Mingling with the dust A side i haven't chosen once again Hold on to me my family I'm starting to fall Split in two like fireflies' Alluring mating call This is a good house But it's a towering inferno The land we stand is moving next to me And we don't ask why The questions turn to flames Condition lies in where to lay the blame It's coming back to me now A place i had forgotten A carriage horse My hands around the reigns And a damp and dark tunnel And a picture of my father I'm throwing rocks in anger and in doubt In doubt It all makes sense to me now The things i had forgotten the sidecar the sunset and the games hold on to me my family i'm starting to fall split in two like bookends On the shelf upon the wall This is a good house But it's a towering inferno The land we stand is moving next to me And we don't ask why The questions turn to flames Condition lies in where to lay the blame This is a good house But it's a towering inferno The landlord says it's time for us to leave And we don't ask why The questions turn to flames Condition lies in where to lay the blame Condition lies in where to lay the blame Condition lies in where to lay the blame Condition lies in where to lay the blame

Rain on the Hill 03:43
lyrics

Now you've listened at my door You've brushed across the treetops in my heart Now you can't hear what i'm saying I feel like a wall that's been built inside you Brick by brick, aching at this distance This impulse is killing me This rain is feeding my dreams i cannot hear your words They just fall from your lips into little puddles on the ground Your head bent down softly If I could show you My pain, my desire My world of doors and gardens I'd fly Fly towards the sun On the hill On the horizon Fly toward the sun Fly toward the rain Fly away I want you to feel my heartache I want you to feel this rain i feel It beats down on me, like arrows from heaven But it drips off me And feeds my dreams It screams at me It whispers at me It listens at my door Now you can't hear what i'm saying I feel like a wall that's been Built inside you Brick by brick Aching at this distance If I could show you My pain, my desire My world of doors and gardens I'd fly Fly towards the sun On the hill On the horizon Fly toward the sun Fly toward the rain Fly away

Catching Stars on Paper Plates 02:43
lyrics
buy track
To a one-time wizard I just hope this dream will end Reflections on the sidewalk are still breathing Please Let me see I'm climbing on a ten foot globe Wizard Oh wizard I just got fired from the last job in town I want you to turn the world into a giant cigarette So i can burn it Burn it with the flag Catching Stars On Paper Plates In the Morning Brothers Oh brothers in the clouds When will your hands be clean I want you to build a sand-dune for me Catch it like the wind in a butterflies net I refuse I refuse to let you straighten out My backbone of defense My backbone of life My background of wonder My backbone of thought My meter is running Catch me if you can Catch me Catch me Catch me Catching Stars On Paper Plates In the Morning
