Carnival 04:27
Take me to the Carnival Rides as high as sparrows Hope with me they peak and float above the tree brocades Guide me through the crowd kings Orchestral alchemy Grab my hips and dance with me No matter of the scene Lose yourself it’s ok Welcome curiosity Inch by inch investigate And take your time with me Now you just up’d the ante Crossed the bridge down to the stream Wallow in the nights drink And linger here with me I’m flying so high I can’t catch myself But I can feel a mad love is on the rise Yeah I’m flying so high I can’t catch myself But I can feel a mad love is on the rise Yeah I’m flying so high I can’t catch myself But I can feel a mad love is on

Deep swells of blue and grey Slap and howl their way Cold rush the houses A shelled slave’s fate Then they heave and pace They heave and pace They heave and pace, they heave and pace Slip back, slap attack again Another shape, with another face They heave and pace They heave and pace They heave and pace In an envelope of space to clear Leaves time and spine to wind its way To a heave, a pace, a sleeve of faith That everything, yeah, that’s everything will change Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah And in the name of swallow and regurgitation It alleviates, moves place to place Face to face she shifts her weight Pulls the longing out from under the blue and the grey And when a rogue from nowhere pummels will you sell your soul or metamorphosis the low blows, the glows, the flows Allow emotions to polar oppose Lions in uniform A Lion in a uniform Makes such little sense… but I’ll tell you… Nothing I've had compares lover Nothing I've ever had compares Nothing I've had compares lover Nothing I've had compares Nothing I've ever had compares Nothing I've had compares lover Nothing I've ever had compares Nothing I've had compares Nothing I've had compares lover Nothing I've ever had compares Nothing I've ever had compares Nothing I've had compares

Don't Move 04:50
No one move Don’t stir the mud I’ve lost my heart I’ve lost my love And I’m moving without him Show your faces Clear your name Make this count And make this sane We’re not leaving without you All for one And one for all Know your rights And right your wrongs There ain’t no peace in hiding No I want not to want a thing Not one thing, no not one thing, from you And if a once could avoid a twice And a head erase a night And a trice avoid a splice Try me, try me, Try me… But don’t you move Now don’t stir the mud I’ve lost my heart I’ve lost my love And I’m not leaving with out him No darlin’ No…

Prout's Neck 03:00
As foreign as a stranger’s kiss You have this, you have this As unrecognizable as it appears you know You know What will come, will come Will also go, also go It’s just one, just one form of many forms And forms like snow won’t hold their cold Bite your nails, bite your lips, hold your tongue But none of this will show her what she’s longing for What was strong once was not It’s been hemmed and hawed over carefully like a crow’s caw Hear that story rounding about as if it could hollow out Breakwaters mixing the Prout’s Neck Home of the winds, low tied and the canvas home Home You have this, You have this, As unrecognizable as it may a You have this, You have this, You know (x2)

YesLove 03:22
Yes love, yes love I see the wild wonders of your world Tell me have you found anything better than knowing that more will be revealed Now, don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down No, don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Yes love, yes love I see you pondering, polishing every angle Tell me, tell me Hold nothing back from me Tell me that more will be revealed Now, no, don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down No, don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down No, no It’s the little things It’s the little things It’s the little things When there’s no denying The hand deliveries…. Now, don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down No, don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down No, no

Flocks 03:45
With a little time And a little resilience When the flocks fly back north again And the trillium shows their dirty heads Will you call it? If this isn’t a crime Then it’s the mirror image Loneliness and the ripple effects Leak this into the wrong hands It’s murder Orphan tide Reveals her true intention Loneliness and the ripple effects Leak this into the wrong hands It’s murder

I have tried, hard now, to love you But you’ve tried even harder to stop me So I’ve tried even harder now, love, to hate you But you triple your sweet talk and make me believe That I’ve seen the light through the trees of the forest bend To the breaking point then snap like a prism Just like I bend for you And I’ve had reefs of coral from the belly of the ocean Trigger grief and quarrels from the pit of my stomach I’ve seen rushing current from the floor of the river So why can’t I see all of you You… I have written you letters and mailed them through trash cans Walked the soles off of my shoes to the city’s grid So why can’t I rid… You… Yes it’s true love, now what you gonna do about it Old predictable, stop drop out and roll like a fiend Aren’t you tired of this little dance we do Aren’t you tired I’m so tired

Sweet Water 04:19
It’s the summer to get down to the nitty gritty The pressure’s hot on our trail We’ve got to get it together Rolling around in your head Can’t keep a thought Or make it disappear When love’s not gone bad but it’s not ripe And being a gypsy… When the sensitive stokes your fire And we cross the line from peacekeepers to warriors Just as the curtain parts and the haze One may sing out loud One may hit the skins One may pluck a chord One may blow air in it No matter what you’re playing Now come together, come together And when your wells run dry I’ll take your tears I’ll ring them out I’ll rinse them sheer Collect some nectar for you Get down to the bottom And bring you Your sweet water
9.
Nine 04:50
Paper cranes and metal birds Flight risks heavy burdens And it wouldn’t be so bad If I didn’t have a heart To rattle, rattle, rattle in its cage I’ve got two hands And two limbs Two eyes On two paths But just one heart to split Yes just one lone heart to split If you knew, my dear If you only knew If you knew how much I adore you You’d not fuss, you’d not fight me my dear If you knew how much I adore you You’d let me go and you’d know that I’d return Come, come Come here Ohhhhhh IV, IV, IV Now, now Now just calm down Now, now Calm down
