Crawl Right In

I want to drown in the honey or the sweet horizon
Feeling the clouds sweep across my skin
Jump into the vinegar, who needs the water?
Hot stone skip across the night and it's over
Open the barrel, I'll crawl right in
Salt beef, jam jar, where'd you keep my heart
Stored up cold while my body breaks down
Sea glass soft, ain't a rock no more
Now count all the pieces I've found
I want to drown in the honey or the sweet horizon
Feeling the clouds sweep across my skin
Jump into the vinegar, who needs the water?
Hot stone skip across the night and it's over
Open the barrel, I'll crawl right in

She turns me into the sunlight
I only have to think her face
And then my shutters are opened
So I can light up any place
And I can shine into outer space
I have somebody to love
[repeat repeat repeat]

Ruining the Moment

It's kind of silly
And I'm embarassed
I can't see my face and don't know if I'm blushing
I'm kind of giddy
And getting fearless
And though it seems to happen quickly, I'm not rushing
Oh-woah
I'm like a battery that's finally recharging
Oh-woah
And you're the reason I draw hearts in all my margins
When we tried to kiss for the first time
Could you feel me smiling into your mouth
Have you felt the spring in my step
Whenever you hold my hand and we're walking around
Should I keep my cards close to my chest and play it cool
Or do I just give up and own it?
I may be laughing, but I hope that I'm not ruining the moment
I never wore my
Heart on my shoulder
But that's because there was no one to take it for me
And it seemed simple
And I got older
And built the walls that could protect me and could warm me
Oh-woah
I wasn't ready when you sent my head all spinning
Oh-woah
Now every time I think of you, I get to grinning
When we tried to kiss for the first time
Could you feel me smiling into your mouth
Have you felt the spring in my step
Whenever you hold my hand and we're walking around
Should I keep my cards close to my chest and play it cool
Or do I just give up and own it?
I may be laughing, but I hope that I'm not ruining the moment
I'm laid bare and I do not care, so I'm just hoping you can meet me there
When we tried to kiss for the first time
Could you feel me smiling into your mouth
Have you felt the spring in my step
Whenever you hold my hand and we're walking around
Should I keep my cards close to my chest and play it cool
Or do I just give up and own it?
I may be laughing, but I hope that I'm not ruining the moment

Mister Capone sold me my microphone
He said I'd make it big, I didn't
And he's asking me whenever will my next day be
And I tell him I don't know then he begins to ask me
Don't you wanna be somebody (etc)
Wine and women and kaleidoscopes and prisms
What are the kinds of nights they're dreaming?
I dream of nothing but a couple of sheep
They pick me off the floor, it sounds like my alarm is singing
Don't you wanna be somebody (etc)
It's at the movies, and it's at the clinic
And the grocery store, and also at the bank
And it is plastered on the subway and I try to tear it off
But my nails are too short to do any damage
Don't you wanna be somebody (etc)

Lady Godiva, the forecast's looking brighter
Would you like to take a ride with me?
You've made up your mind to do what you like
And god, I've a love for this lady
Lady Godiva, Lady Godiva, God I've A (etc)
Lady Godiva, I'd love to buy you flowers
I've got me a thumb that's a little less than green
I won't get you roses unless they are your favorites
Cause god I've a scar from what those thorns have done to me
Lady Godiva, Lady Godiva, God I've A (etc)
Come into my home and I will try to make you happy
I've been so alone, so if you want me, you can have me
Lady Godiva, look how the sky is blue
God, I've a love for you
Lady Godiva, Lady Godiva, God I've A (etc)
God, I've a love for you

The Wind Song

Come gather round and listen, I don't mean to make you blue
But the story of my darlin is as sad as it is true
And when I go to bed
It's the only thought that fills my head
It's the only thought that fills my head
I met her in the autumn, it's a common tale, I'm told
When the sunset starts more early and the air begins to cold
We sparked, and straight away
I asked that girl to marry me
I asked that girl to marry me
Her parents never liked me; I've got a wicked name
We struck out just the two of us to live out on the plain
And now I should have known
That we wouldn't meet an easy road
That we wouldn't meet an easy road
It wasn't too much time before she started feeling weak
Don't know what kind of sickness snuck up on her in her sleep
Her face was growing thin
And her gall-darn eyeballs near sunk in
And her gall-darn eyeballs near sunk in
On one auspicious morning, a storm began to blow
She hobbled out to sit with me upon our patio
The wind began to bray
And blew my darlin all away
And blew my darlin all away
I hope she's out there flying; I've heard that angels
And all that matters now is that I pass this on to you:
If your love starts to go,
Then hold her down when the wind does blow
Then hold her down when the wind does blow
