Don't Forget to Smile
03:00
|
|||
|
Here we are with our faces down-turned
As the cars wiz by
Should I pretend I don't notice them
As they pile on quick, pile on fast
Don't look back
Just another day on the subway
Just another day on the train
Don't forget to laugh for a moment
Don't forget to smile
All the men with suit coats, all the ID cards
Hanging close, lean in close and you can
Almost read them
All the women tuned out
With headphones plugged into mobile phones
Listening close, lean in close and you can
Almost hear them

Crazy-Eyes Monroe

I knew a gal, her name was Hannah Monroe
She had eyes would turn you right into stone
She don't come here no more, that crazy-eyes Monroe
She had hair it was long and dark alright
Those locks they would they could keep you warm at night
She don't come here no more, that crazy-haired Monroe
She had hands, they was rough and they was strong
Them trapeze would fly and she'd just keep a hangin' on
She don't come here no more, that crazy-hands Monroe
She hopped across the great Atlantic sea
In Northern Ireland she'd find her home to be
She don't come here no more, that puddle-jumper Monroe
She don't come here no more, that crazy-eyes Monroe
Oh why did you go?
You crazy-eyes Monroe

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

The Road Goes Ever On
04:36
|
|||
|
Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

Vampire

I've been watching you, girl, for a long time
But you've been watching him, with his pale skin and dark smile
He takes your breath away
But he doesn't need it, cause he's not breathing
And in his chest his heart's not beating
I will never need you like he needs you
Cause I don't need your blood to make me feel alive
You just take my breath away
But you're loosing feeling cause he's not breathing
You're freezing now his heart's not beating
Don't stay with a man who'll never give you the time of day
Don't waste your life with a man of the night
And I may die, but every moment I live
Could be a moment with you
I can see him hold you like a treasure
But darlin' you're not fragile, you're stronger than the tethers
He's wasting you away
But he doesn't see it cause he's not breathing
And in his chest his heart's not beating

Song for Lynn
02:48
|
|||
|
We can’t believe the time has come for us to say goodbye
So we wrote a song to tell you that we’re grateful for all you’ve done
It’s been over thirty years and lots of blood, and sweat, and tears
So when we have a garden, we'll name a chicken after you
Oh Lynn, oh where do we begin,
You are the one
Who brought us all here
We’ll miss you when you go away
But we know your heart is here to stay
You have love for all religions, especially the Jews
Speaking softly, but still outspoken, you say what’s on your mind
Don’t think that we'd forget the time,
When you told us how you really felt
About Paul Ryan and where that man should go when he dies
We hear you’re headed to Delaware
We suppose at 70 that’s only fair
Don't party too much with Father Brake
And don't forget us here

I didn’t believe them when they said the world would end
It was just another needless hype, the type to keep us entertained
But now the earth is trembling beneath my feet
The sun it has stopped shining and now I am crying
Because I know I won’t see you again
They say that when you die your life will flash before your eyes
But I can’t remember your face, not your smile
The memories of you and me have escaped, leaving me empty
And all I’m feeling is the tug, the cold, hard tug of reality
Streets crumbling around me
All I’m feeling is lonely
Where did everybody go?
These streets were packed, moments before
but now the pounding rain and snow has covered everything
No a body can be seen
The silence now is deafening
I’m pretty sure that god is hiding too
So I’ll stay here in my bed, hidden in the rubble
Til the air runs out, I’ll rest my head
And maybe my dreams will lead me to you
Maybe my dreams will lead me to you

Fairytales
04:22
|

|
I dream about culture
I dream about fancy carpets
And hot air balloons
I dream about digging a hole through the moon
Just to see what it would do
Just to peer through
I dream about dancing
I dream about chasing lions
And swinging from trees
All these things I can do
When I stay in my head, in my room
In the dim of the lamp light
In the dark night alone
Empty your pages into me
And I’ll dream
Write me a story, a story
And I’ll sing
Who in their right mind would choose
To turn away
From the pages and pages and pages and pages
Of fairytales
Falling boulders
Watch out or they’ll fall on you
Make you dead
No such adventure
Can be had when you’re
Made to go to school
But I suppose theres a place for that too
These are my dreams, but I’ll bet you can have some too

Arugula

Oh darling, you’re turning green
It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
And I can’t help but notice you
And feel like a fool
Cause I’ve been longing for your touch
To feel you in between my palms
I wanna smell you all around me
I wanna feel your aftertaste, in my mouth
Arugula, let me be good to ya
I’ll kiss you in the morning in the sun
I’ll nourish you with water from my tongue
Arugula, let me be good to ya
And when you’re feelin’ ready I will take you home
With me
Will you let me dress you, lover?
We could make it French or make it Greek
I’ll make you a bed with autumn colors
And then I’ll do what bunnies do
What bunnies do
Baby let’s turn the heat up
Add a little spice into our lives
I’m ready to pick you up
And turn you into the thing I’ve always dreamed of

How Do You Work?
02:39
|

|
How do you work, my dear my dear?
How do you work, my darling?
How do you work, my dear my dear?
How do you work, my friend?
Do you take it slow
Perfecting as you go
On details you may dwell
Cause you’ve gotta do it well
Do you jump right in
Before others begin
Decisions come and go
You take em’ quick and bold
Do you come prepared
WIth all the facts you’re unimpaired
Planning it all out
Before you leap, you look about
Do you mediate
Bend with the wind, negotiate
Put other’s needs ahead
You’ll always trust them in the end
No matter what your style
Your contribution is worthwhile
So let’s make something grand
We’ll let our styles work hand in hand

Jenny Jackson, you’ve gotta be kidding me
She’s a loser as anyone can see
Dresses like she’s from the sixties
And the only class she’s good at is history
Jenny Jackson, you’ve gotta be kidding me
I think she may be wiccan or something
She barely talks, never dated or anything
And why is she randomly awesome at track and field?
Jenny Jackson
Jenny Jackson
Jenny Jackson, there’s something about her she
Acts like she might be a serial murderer
Rumor says she’s been held back for seven years
Hold up, for seven years?
Jenny Jackson, there’s something about her you
Never see her outside of the school you
Never see her doing the things that
Normal students do
So what is she up to?
Jenny Jackson
Jenny Jackson
I have lived here for a thousand years
I have fought the monsters that control your fears
I am here to fight the darkness that consumes
The demon in me fights the demons in these rooms
I have lived here for a thousand years
Trained to protect those I call my peers
I have seen many lives come and go
I have borne the pain we should never have to know
If you give me a heart, all I know to do is break it
If you give me a life, all I know to do is take it
My humanity makes me weak
So I let it fade away
My purpose it is greater
So I swallow the fear
Of my dying soul
Jenny Jackson
