- A Baby for Pree
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
Makes babies to breathe
With their hearts hanging open all over the sheets
As soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing
They'll sting through her chest with a force hard and beating
Till wonderfully wet she will get
Until she's soaked inside her clothes
- A Baby For Pree - Grow Into You
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
Makes babies to breathe with their hearts hanging open
All over the sheets as soft as beets in some brown dresser drawer
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing
They'll sting through her chest with a force hard and beating
'Til wonderfully wet she will get
Until she's soaked inside her clothes
And there is no sorry to be sorry for
- April 8th
Crawl across towards your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late with television
Inside my bedroom all alone
- Communist Daughter
Sweet communist
The communist daughter
Standing on the sea-weed water
Semen stains the mountain tops
With cocoa leaves along the border
Sweetness sings from every corner
Cars careening from the clouds
The bridges burst and twist around
- Engine
For I am an engine
And I'm rolling on
The world is all bending and breaking from me
For sweetness alone who flew out through the window
And landed back home in a garden of green
You're a riding alone in the back of steamer
And steaming yourself in the warm shower spray
- Everything Is
Grown sleepy as the rain falls
As children draped in flowers form a chain
They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls
As night falls into dust and it's day again
I'm not afraid of a love parade in my daydream
Old men with kazoos and beating drums
But I awake and I see the streets are ice cream
- Everything Is...
Growing sleepy as the rain falls
As children draped in flowers form a chain
They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls
As night falls into dust and it's day again
I'm not afraid of a love parade in my daydream
Old men with kazoos and beating drums
But I awake and I see the streets are ice cream
- Ferris Wheel On Fire
Well now, first of all
We became what we always had feared
Every engine holds
All their oils on fire appeared
They finally broke through
And on your shoulder
This weight has been placed upon you
And everything we ever learned
- Gardenhead - Leave Me Alone
There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park, like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
- Ghost
Ghost, ghost, I know you were within me, feel you as you fly
In thunder clouds above the city, into one that I loved
With all that was left within me 'till we tore in two
Now wings and rings and there's so many waiting here for you
And she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929
With wings that ringed around a socket right between her spine
All drenched in milk in holy water pouring from the sky
- Holland 1945
Two... One, two, three, four...
The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
- Holland, 1945
The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
- Home
Hold
Well you can hold your hands together all you please
Won’t erase those tender tidings you endured
You were just another family member on their knees
Just a social work statistic out the door
They beat against the tender sightings of your soul
With all those pretty little hammers of control
And where they are tonight well you will never know
- I Will Bury You In Time
I will bury you in time
When the sea begins to slide
Into this hole where I am smiling on your shoulder
You have buried my beliefs
Where all you sisters sleep
That there scent the purity will make
When the youth is over
Standing in some Oct - October
- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me, me
- Jennifer
I bring Jennifer flowers
I bring Jennifer cupcakes
I bring Jennifer snowcones
I bring Jennifer your brains
And we dance in the leaves
Echo up to our knees
And I cough and a sneeze
- Life Is Neverending
If i were a mirror
I'd look right deep inside myself
And if things were much clearer
I'd see a brighter day
And if you were my lover
I'd wrap your locks around my wrists
And shake beneath the shudders
That turn to black your face
- Love You More Than Life
Let the world collapse and die
It's sinking deeper in your eyes
And I will sing a sweet surprise for no one
Let the world collapse and swallow
All the love she'll hold tomorrow
And I will shield and I will follow no one
- My Dream Girl Don't Exist
My dream girl don't exist
And at the age of five she slit her wrist
She didn't know that I'd be hanging around
So her parents buried her in the ground
And this day I can still hear the sound
Of a life in outer space
My dream girl don't exist
- Naomi
Your prettiness is seeping through
Out from the dress I took from you
So pretty
And my emptiness is swollen shut
Always a wretch - I have become
So empty
And please, please don't leave me
- Oh Comely
Oh comely, I will be with you when you lose your breath,
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left.
With some pretty, bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest.
But oh comely,
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory, you're drunk on your awe ,to me
- Sailing Through
Sailing through
Your disease and you. your disease and you
Your body like a basket
Shivering in static for us in this place of angry tears
All those years you were alive inside the closet
But nobody in it there but me
But now they are coming
Life is off running
- Snow Song Pt. 1
One, two, three..
Cindy smiles
And overcoats
She says, "Please stay a while!"
Like ice cream floats and dreams
And I will fill you heart
With boats and bills and beams and candy-appled everythings
- Someone Is Waiting
Someone is waiting
To swallow all the halos out of you
As your face blows
Through my windows
Sending pieces flying all around the room
And I love you
And I want to
- Song Against Sex
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from his hands
And when I put my arms around him
Felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an eerieness surrounded
When his tongue began to speak
- Sweet Marie
Everything is made of water
Seeping deep within your soul
And as you’re sleeping safe tomorrow
The flowers in your heart will overflow
Sweet Marie, with your raspberry sunshine
Won’t you take me where I’ve never known
I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
- Synthetic Flying Machine
Up and over
We go through the waving undertow
I will float until I learn how to swim
Inside my mother in a garbage bin
Until I find myself again
Again
Up and over
- The King Of Carrot Flowers
When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
- The King Of Carrot Flowers Part 1
When you were young

As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
- The King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. One
When you were young you were the King of carrot flowers,
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees,
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all round your feet.
And your Mum would stick a fork right into Daddy’s shoulder,
And Dad would throw the garbage all across the floor,
As we would lay and learn what each other’s bodies were for.
- The King Of Carrot Flowers Pts. 2 and 3
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
Yes I do
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
Yes I do
And on the lazy days
- Three Peaches
There is no dream, so wake up
Run your lips across your fingers till you find
Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high
To remind yourself that you didn't die
On a day that was so crappy - whole and happy, you're alive
And you seem so bruised
- Through My Tears
"Through My Tears (a.k.a. Message Sent)"
Watch the wind blow your cigarette smoke
Through my window and out to the sky
This message sent, drilled into your heart
But now the ink will fade
Before the night is through my dear
- Tuesday Moon
Your love is like a building
Pushing up towards the sky
I just wanna climb your tower
To your dress like apple pie
Oh I love you on a Tuesday
Oh I love you on a Tuesday moon
Vegetable hand on my perfume

Daddy please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
Blister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine

- Unborn
A candy coated dream
With parks and trees and figurines
And her arms wrap round my sleeve
With tiny steps and eyes of green
Toy guitar that's out of tune
Eyes fixed on morning time cartoons
And by the lantern of the moon
I will dream of a love like you
- Where You'll Find Me Now
All I perceive is wasted and broken
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris
And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery
Everyone barks and they are all still believing
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me
But I let you down
- Worms in the Wind
And the worms in the wind are beginning to blow
Baby brother gives in and we watch as he goes
Through a hole in the night that's as white as a sheet
As all the beautiful people go floating up over the street
And we once had a home that was hurling through space
And the gravity held all our houses in place
(...But not anymore)
- You've Passed
The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away
And I wanted to hold you
As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
