picking up Nanny tomorrow / don't say I don't see her enough / too nervous to do stuff / picking up something to borrow / something that you'd be proud of / could this be love / I'll drive around / some other town / and speed about / that look on her face / can I mention her frown / can I lift her off the ground / one embrace / it's okay / it's okay / picking up Nanny tomorrow / should I ask about Henry Fonda / who knew she was a film buff / picking up something to borrow / something that you'd be proud of / could this be love / I'll drive around / some other town / and speed about / that look on her face / can I mention her frown / can I lift her off the ground / one embrace / and it's okay / it's okay / Nanny / picking up Nanny tomorrow / don't say I don't see her enough / too nervous to do stuff

Saturn's Last Ring
04:01

I could rule the world / Saturn or the girl / love is not divine / steal a kiss of wine / in the garden of the juice / I abuse / cannons giving way / muskets cannot stay / I'll protect what's good / how you think I should / in the garden of the juice / I abuse / you won't always have me / you won't always have me / strolling through the fields / metal vengeance wheels / what'll be the price / of this kiss of wine / in the garden of the juice / I abuse / and I could tear it down / and you won't make a sound / but I wouldn't hurt a thing / I'm Saturn's last ring / in the garden of the juice / I abuse / you won't always have me / you won't always have me / I could rule the world / Saturn or the girl

just once and I won't tell / in the hall light a flickered hell / listening to the people yell / hey it sounds like something fell / and I can't help / and I've tried / what've you been up to / buying hangers and plastic spoons / didn't mean to confront you / I got time if you got the room / and I can't refuse / oh I've tried / love / wasn't what I was thinking of / but it's convincing / is there a thing worth knowing / better left unspoken / afternoon lovely morning / do you think that they're looking / and I'm worrying / oh I try / too much thinking / love / wasn't what I was thinking of / but it's convincing / just once and I won't tell / just once and I won't tell

don't you cry / barbarian / don't you cry / the glory of the sky / is in your hands / compared to you / she looks so small / compared to you / her attitude / could slay them all / and you could only see the liking of your way / all you are is thunder never rain / burning passion / cooks the stone / forge to last / and this lover laughs / 'cause it's a joke / and you could only see the liking of your way / all you are is thunder never rain / don't you cry / barbarian / don't you cry / the glory of the sky / is in your hands / live and love / barbarian / live and love / the streak of her blood / don't make you a man / and you could only see the liking of your way / all you are is thunder never rain

|
Zachary called himself an old man / said he could see through things / people and walls / said he discovered it all / Zack would hold my head in his hands / callused and shushing / it's okay to be wrong / learn and move on / I called him dad once and he slammed / the brakes bad timing / we'll never get to the mall / they said it wasn't my fault / nobody would believe / Zack wrote poetry / odes and elegies / Zack wrote poetry / they asked me if he had any folks / he burnt all his bridges / with what the flames forgot / he built a see-saw / loneliness could serve you well / he'd say / loneliness could serve you well / laughing at the way my shirt fits / grumpy when he's happy / didn't want to talk / he'd listen all day long / coughing up the dust that he bit / he said someone's always listening / blood and froth / live and move on / nobody would believe / Zack wrote poetry / odes and elegies / Zack wrote poetry / loneliness could serve you well / he'd say / loneliness could serve you well

After the Pity Party

|
after the pity party / I told everybody / I think all our dreams will come true / pockets growling empty / so I tossed them all my pennies / and my body mumbled what about you / said it's been getting kind of heavy / plus I think this should be plenty / just be frugal / I'm a friend to no fool / said I've grown past my twenties / and I'm going out to study / and the wilderness will pay all my dues / and if Heaven / was busy pleading / with the demons / would we even / find a reason / to believe in / someone bleeding / if they're disguising / every blessing / as a burden / well I'm guessing / that they're betting / on how long we'll keep bleeding / I was running from wild piggies / the likes of which I've not seen / and a woman swept the desert with a broom / and when she forced me in her body / I remembered everybody / and cried all their names to a tune / when I woke up I was salty / was a'floating down the salt sea / and some lepers on the beach called me a fool / as it turns out they were friendly / and when they spoke it was mighty lengthy / they said your buddies' dreams are gonna die when you do / and if heaven / was busy pleading / with the demons / would we even / find a reason / to believe in / someone bleeding / if they're disguising / every blessing / as a burden / well I'm guessing / that they're betting / on how long we'll keep bleeding / yeah / when I returned to the country / I had a promise / they had money / and the baptist offered his brand new pool / I hung out in the city / drinking something like a peach tea / and everybody swore to god they were cool / and they threw me all their pennies / didn't care for my stories / so I roared and told them man fuck you / so they threw me a pity party / and I yelled that it isn't funny / and I started a fight that I knew I'd lose / and if Heaven / was busy pleading / with the demons / would we even / find a reason / to believe in / someone bleeding / if they're disguising / every blessing / as a burden / well I'm guessing / that they're betting / on how long we'll keep bleeding / what a view from Mount Calvary / I can see past that greedy city / oh my god / I'd go anywhere for you / but everybody's laughing at me / and I'm throwing up that peach tea / it is through

Socket and Spindle

socket and spindle / in the mouth of the giant eagle / to spark it is simple / make your mind up about these people / get out / get out / it's just a sweater / it gets cold up there in the winter / you're looking thinner / do you get a say in what's for dinner / swallowing feathers / and singing a verse when the innards won't burn / socket and spindle / in the mouth of the giant eagle / get out / get out / it's just a symbol / like cracks in a steeple / get out / you're just too little / all alone inside an eagle / quit popping your pimples / and complaining at a tickle / you're lazy and fickle / make your mind up about these people / get out / get out / socket and spindle / socket and spindle

I love you / like that dream / with the stars and you / endlessly / I've promised you / in my sleep / and I've lied to you / through my teeth / if I could hold onto your tail of debris / for the world to see / something like a comet / with a dead girl complex / something like a comet / with a dead girl complex / I watched you / tear your jeans / when I yelled to you / come save me / I'm down on you / honeybee / and I'm pulling you / down a billion feet / if I could hold onto your tail of debris / for the world to see / something like a comet / with a dead girl complex / something like a comet / with a dead girl complex / yeah I love you / like that dream / with the stars and you / endlessly / I've promised you / in my sleep / and I've lied / I've lied / through my teeth / if I could hold onto your tail of debris / for the world to see / something like a comet / with a dead girl complex / something like a comet / with a dead girl complex
