You hear the hoard out and you let them all in And the rapturous rovers are holy held kids As you snuggle your sins it’s a rigamarole win And it’s soft as the morning as it ripples your skin Your milk teeth are thin in a chemical wind And the green tea is salty as a sea breezy sin You lift up the lid to a chill with 3 kids And it’s scruffy and sweaty with the triggers and kicks So long, God died when he was young, It’s left to Paul and John But who fell first, the father or the mother nature’s son? God Died God Died. So long, God died when he was young, It’s left to Paul and John But who fell first, the father or the mother nature’s son?

Bearpit 04:24
I’m drifting; sweet stereo, with a bike that’s not my own Pass working glass houses, the triffid guards have grown grotesque ageing gardens, the gates are where they’re sewn I loved you, I lost you, you blossomed long ago Waiting for the kids to come back home The bearpit is the nest where they have flown Thinking in riddles my liver is poisonous Dance with the chemicals and sleep the next day Carnival syndrome spurs limitless injuries But right now there’s nothing at all We’re lost little boys, discarded toys They say that the blue side could always rub out ink i went and believed it and scribbled with my wing Are all of us chemicals or washing left in sinks The fish and felines will fidget while we think

Balloons 04:42
Balloons take where you want to go when you’re alone Ballooning mountain tops is half a home from home Take your triceratops and tell him he has to go You need an office job and the colour has to go My heavy head and heart is open I’m smitten here in your sink With heavy head my heart is open Grizzly bears and indian ink stained my hands Tick tock tick tock the wind-up bird waltz tick tock tick tock they’ll wind us all up Tick tock tick tock the wind-up bird waltz L'oiseau you’re nothing but nothingness STOP L'oiseau you’re nothing but nothingness STOP Go tell the ice-cream man to lurk around your home Your pockets pennied up to let your presence known My god we’re older now with bones so fully grown It’s not sweet calcium but all the days alone  With a heavy head my heart is open I’m smitten here in your sink With heavy head my heart so open There’s grizzly bears and indian ink stained my hands Tick tock tick tock the wind-up bird waltz tick tock tick tock they’ll wind us all up Tick tock tick tock the wind-up bird waltz L'oiseau you’re nothing but nothingness STOP I'll let you off, if you die in a hole And eat some bread, just eat the whole loaf I've got a gun, but it's a plastic one I killed my friends, every last one Wind-up the bird!

Sixteen seconds old And you’re on the the cloudy side of the moon Floating up among the stars Well lord you know, you take hold Well lord you know you take my heart honey (to the moon) We’ve been inside our own heads Instead of being inside each other’s beds Wrap me around your little finger Well lord you know, you take hold Well lord you know you take my heart honey (to the moon)
5.
I see colours And it burns when they cut me in the morning White washed free-fall And it burns when they cut me in the morning And it burns VHS Made me, now I'm sleeping in the morning And it burns Yes it burns
