Araby

araby go your own way
dont think of me anymore
araby real as today
uncertain as the morrow
araby you'll never sever
our knotted souls twisting in steam
araby we are the same
two portraits of one dream
crazy maple leaves sail aimlessly
around your face through the trees
sweet silver snow we lost araby
oh no we must go on with the show

Lion's Den

soldiers threw poor daniel in the lions den
and left him there to die
said he had to go into the lion's den
oh the lion's den for to die
late that night the king he could not sleep
thinkin bout daniel's god
would the shepherd protect his sheep?
soldiers threw poor daniel in the lion's den
said he had to go into the lion's den
but the lion laid down to sleep.
sun rise up
daniel to the king did say
fold my hands and pray
my lords watchin me today
soldiers threw poor daniel in the lion's den
dragged his skinny body to the lion's den
but the lion laid down to sleep.

Cold Summer
03:01
|
|
||
|
clutch at the tabletop
watch with breath bated
lead yr sheep to a great surprise
livin in a cage called the modern age
i know you would sleep in a bed of lies
ya bit the bait like a poison snake
never laid eyes on a bigger mistake
and the rain hits like the end is comin
its gonna be a cold summer
I'd sell the entire nation
before I brought it up in conversation
I think the world's whack and I'm the only one that sane
lonely electron on the infinite plane
bombed the test, murdered the teacher
probably enrolling in a different school
dreams to be a doctor engineer author
all my plans are made to fall through
something goes wrong overlooked misconstrued
and now the cold summers coming dont cover yr face
time to pounce swingin in for the kill
and now I fall down into the devils grace
ALEX BACKGROUNDS:
[rain rain go away]
[tell that sun to come and play]
[do you remember better days?]
[better days never stay]
[sometimes sometimes]
[emotions grasp a hold on me]
[i'll try, i swear i'll try]
[twist and shake myself free]
[wisdom's kingdoms]
[brotherhood and iniquity]
[rain rage page after page]
[cold summer's coming for me]

Nebraska grasses tickle my feet and play
hey hey hey

the winter wind is harsh but you gotta brave the day
hey hey hey

see and be grateful
mother nature's gift
we're floating in the wind, rip rip rip off that tree
we're floating in the wind, rip rip rip away from me
walking around that christmas tree today
simple gifts n love I'm feelin okay
hey hey hey
hope I make it back into heaven someday
hark the herald angels are pointin out my way
hey hey hey
breathe and be thankful
see and be grateful
mother nature's gift
we're floating in the wind, rip rip rip off that tree
we're floating in the wind, rip rip rip away from me
walking around walkin around today

Times Are In Their Prime
02:02
|
|

kites that fly the highest have the farthest to fall
the ripest fruit is quick to rot the
smartest folks we call them
insane, i'm cresting the hill
i can look back still
its so beautiful,
but never straight i'm terrified of what my eyes
might find when things change
when times are in their prime
you got it all and everything to lose
the men who love the hardest
are the folks who fall the hardest when things change
they sit around in darkened rooms
babbling their excuses and saying
"never fall in love"
nothing stays the same it seems in dreams
i'm building time machines for her
"never fall in love"
getting close and having good times
makes for harder crying when things change
i'm on the mountaintop
but time wont stop for me or her
and i cant look straight i'm terrified
of what my eyes will find when things change
"never fall in love"

all the little children as they frolic and they pay
kill yr obsession like a blind man's confession
morning and night evening and day
gotta make'm pay
sap hands those jeans till they shiver/fray
CNN de-Freakwalk endow the street
gotta talk in-Rockwalk endow the block
gotta mak'm pay
oh its so drastic
oh its so outta place
oh its so tragic
gotta make'm pay
red vs blue like the turning of the screw
blue vs red just shootem in the head
smoke risin up should've know she was a stray
shoul've made her pay
sink to my knees fold my hands n pray
fools gold moonlight burning tyger bright
its all semper-fi go Shitgod and try
you must make them all pay

Push The Button

I try
and I try again
I push the button, I push the push the button but
nothing changes
I hear the people comin to my door
I hear the people I hear the hear the people
stompin on my floor
sometimes I like to look up at the sky
I see the bright blue star twinkle in my eye
sometimes I wonder wonder many things
I wonder if this world will ever
make a change
I push the button
(push the button)
but it dont change, it dont change a thing
no, no, no, eugh

Very Good Man
02:30

|

take three, oh yeah.
jon t corrington was a very good man
he liked to beat his children into a pulp
until they could not stand
slow action 1 2 3, get ready for the fall
far from the porch of the thick and the thin
jon t corrington, turned himself in
turned himself into the police
all the police were hot on his trail
all the birds heard he saved his own skin
he was a reptile easy and fast
he slipped out of the hole and
he made his children fast for a million hours
until they fell, fell into the well
1 2 3 hear, hear that rainbow bell
oh now, we must stop playing
for our father is about to beat us
he knows all about our secrets
hello? hey! hello? yes?

Echoes
03:11
|

Clothes thrown all over
posters stuck on the wall
too scared to sleep now
haven't slept at all
chandelier hanging
dishes in the sink
there's a stale odor in the air
there's nothing to drink
there's to eat my friend
no one comes around anymore
the hard wood floor
echoes
I'm on the couch writing
time stops for me
b/c the part of my head where memories tread
is a place i cant stand to be
your sitting there quietly
eating curry and rice
catching the child of my eye
its all very nice
its all kind of weird my friend
you never come around anymore
the hard wood floor
echoes
do you hear my friend
no one comes around anymore
the hard wood floor
echoes
the hard wood floor
echoes

the stars are movin in the night
independent all of my tries
but tonight
the sky is black like wet coal
but tonight
the planets have aligned
all crowds have moved out
put a shaking hand up to their face
but tonight
i will raise u from this place
but tonight
i will take you from the grave
muddy ground yields to my spade
a cloak around the solemn treat of sleep
but tonight
i will widen your eyes
but tonight
the rain falls down in sheets
but tonight
i will make nature stray away
i wonder if it'll be ok
if i stay
first the sacrifice then the sign
the rotten coffin hinges screaming shine
but tonight
Noctomancer pulls your body close friend
but tonight
your brand new life is mine
but tonight
i beg to make nature stray away
i wonder if it'll be ok
if i stay

Like A Newborn King
06:02

sittin next to the creek
so cold i can barely speak
body startin to shiver
sittin next to the river
been quite frightful day
everybodys goin away tonight
maybe you folks might stay
yr all in a circle round me
backs turned to me
pack your bags gettin further from me
catch one cant get the others
soundin stones fill the air
i could hardly care
swimmin in a filthy river
but nothing lasts forever
what are you gonna do
when we fall through
so quiet i cant hear a thing
ear submerged while lilacs sing
eyes are burnin in the dark like fire
on a swing in the park with a liar
i'm climbin up the hill
spring breeze gives quite a chill
still
nothing lasts forever
runnin away from the river
climb the bridge faster than ever
run climb pull myself higher
clothes get colder but they dont get drier
come with me to watch the windows
shallow towers built in haste
flower petals dropped in money driven
mansions gone to waste
peer through the bars on the bridge to the street
coffee stains and all things bittersweet
hear a hundred cars in a thousand lanes
they're all the same
what are you gonna do
when I fall through
what am I gonna do
wont matter how much I love you when I fall through
feel like we never see each other
sinking slowly in the water
wish i could hear you sing
like a newborn king
