He's a human bed of roses" @SONG: Feed The Tree This old man I've talked about Broke his own heart, poured it in the ground Big red tree grew up and out Throws up it's leaves, spins round and round I know all this and more So take your hat off when you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree This little squirrel I used to be Slammed her bike down the stairs They put silver where her teeth had been Baby Silvertooth she grins and grins I know all this and more So take your hat off boy when you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree Take your hat off boy when you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree This old man I used to be Spins around, around, around the tree Silver baby come to me I'll only hurt you in my dreams I know all this and, I know all this and, I know all this and more So take your hat off boy when you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree Take your hat off when you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree @SONG: Full Moon, Empty Heart Sleep in now now Sleep in now now now It's still night out Sleeping Don't look at me, looking back at you Out the window backwards Out the window backwards Sleep... See this child twisted over from me At the window backwards... At the window backwards...

Put on your black dress Float on your back Too long, too lame Now I'm gone Somewhere to sleep Somewhere to sleep Somewhere to scrape your body off my feet Put on your black dress Float on your back Too long, too lame Now I'm gone White belly up in the sun (4x) Still diving, fall in The Big One Put on your black dress Float on your back Put on your black dress (White belly up in the sun) Float on your back (White belly up in the sun) Too long, too lame Now I'm gone White belly up in the sun (4x) @SONG: Untogether I was friendly with this girl who insisted on touching my face She told out-rageous stories, I believed them til the endings were changing from endings before She's not touching me anymore... Untogether. I couldn't help him, I got hard. You can try your whole life, but you can't save the unsaveably Untogether. I was shipwrecked with this frog who was ?constantly? testing my faith. He made outrageous demands, I ignored him, til I strapped on my bird feet and surfed into shore He's not touching me anymore. Untogether, I couldn't help him, I got hard. You can try your whole life, but you can't change the unchangeably Untogether. Now this bird nests on my back, keeps me turning and straining to see. We threw out-rageous parties, we were golden. Now the bird keeps her distance, and I keep my spleen. Sometimes there's no poison like a dream. Untogether, I couldn't help it, it got hard. You can dry your eyes, but you can't hold the impossibly Untogether. @SONG: Star It's hard for star Sweet sweet sweet wind Burn off his skin Get it to reach Sachuest beach I can never win With this body I live in @SONG: Sad Dress I'm so tipsy I can't seem to walk, and you take me firmly by the hand in the dark and those cheekbones of yours shine in the dark I swear they do Think about Dixie she ducked when she ran made up three bad reasons to stand by her man (he goes) Miss the vein once, try try again. I swear (I just went) My my your dress says so sad So sad So sad You don't care you just stole it somewhere Feel it Fight it Sleep inside it Your dress says so sad So sad So sad You don't care you just stole it somewhere I'd chew my foot off (I'd chew my foot off to get out of this dress) @SONG: Stay Stay, oh uh oh oh stay (2x) Salmon dives for that big dusky pearl Salmon sighs, he knows he's older than me Sleeps with the fishes soon Stay (stay), oh uh oh oh stay (2x) Salmon crawls on the belly of God Salmon falls on his face in love with me. He grows as old as the sea Deep where the fishes are. Stay, oh uh oh oh stay (4x) He lives in the yard, he keeps himself hard He keeps himself homeless and heartless and hard He sleeps under stairs along with the heirs Of nothing and nothing means no one who cares But I love him dear and I love him dear And I've loved him hundreads of thousands of years. Stay. Stay (stay with me) oh uh oh oh, stay (stay with me). Stay. Stay (stay with me) oh uh oh oh, stay (stay with me). It's not time for me to go. (3x) Stay.
