I Won't Tell

Dry your fears stow your tears, spend them somewhere else my dear
We'll find a basement to flood, and I won't tell anyone
Wash your hands of your own plans, leave the trees and join a band
Amber waves at the grain, she's free but she ain't dumb
It's a good life it ain't bad, sure beats others that I've had
I was a dog I was a cat, I never told anyone
It ain't bad it ain't bad it ain't bad it's so good
It ain't bad it ain't bad it ain't bad and I won't tell
Anyone anything about the starships and the dreams
A universe in your eyes and I won't tell anyone

Come Mountain, Play!

You're so big I'm so small I'll climb all over you
A giant game of leap frog I hope you're not a hopper too
Come out and play
Come out and play
You have trees for your hair and big boulders for your eyes
Do you have legs under there hella thunder thighs
Come out and play
Come out and play
Sun is rising I'm awake, you're still sleeping aren't you
Misty sheets cloudy pillow case, cock-a-doodle-doo
Come out and play
Come out and play

Little Seeds

If I want to go make me stay
If I want to run make me wait
and if I should find within no reason to believe
then put a few of the faiths you found in me
back into me
They paint a tear on every clown
but they can't can't keep the big top down
and I should find within no smile to retrieve
then put a few of the smirks you got from me
back into me
Baby plant it like a seed
oh plant them like some little seeds
easy come and easy leave
we'll see the beauty for the trees
and if I'm the unlucky one
whose hour glass has more sand to run
and if I should find within no rest in sleep
then put a few of your ghosts into me
come haunt my dreams
Baby plant it like a seed
oh plant them like some little seeds
easy come and easy leave
we'll see the beauty for the trees

Buy Buy, Baby
03:40
|

They're lining up, and they're settling down
cause sometimes in order to buy in you gotta be willing to camp out
no, no not me
Investments are made, we sleep in whatever beds we lay in
we're saving up just enough to buy off every rainy day
no more clouds for me
Buy buy baby, B-U-Y buy baby
when these hymns are making heaven feel a hell of a lot like stealing
and I'm no theif
So I bought me a car, fill it up with dinosaur
the drones keep replacing their bones with the ones from those desert folks
dame más gasolina
Buy buy baby, B-U-Y buy baby
when these hymns are making heaven feel a hell of a lot like stealing
This part is the bridge, I know it doesn't sound like it is but it is
and your complaint ain't valid we let you put your ballot on the two-party alter

Popemobile

The pope is coming to town get yourself cleaned up
We're gonna go see him in his big glass truck
Originality and the original sin
Are two things that they tell me to live without within
Let me be the one to take you home
Let me be the one to take you home
Wash your water watch your daughter, I got a date
With the captains father pick him up at eight
Red white and blue rover send them right over seas
from sand to glowing sand we'll plant them dogwood trees
from sand to glowing sand we'll plant them dogwood trees
Let me be the one to take you home
Let me be the one to take you home
Let me be the one to take you home
I'll make sure that you're never ever alone
Unless you just want to be alone then ok.

Horses Made Of Light
03:06

Oh my sisters, oh my brothers
Oh my misseses my misters and my brave others
We will ascend, we will ascend, sing it again, sing it again
And we will ride horses, horses made of light
horses, horses made of light
It do believe we will all see the light
Whether from a cross or a star or five uprights
Or from within, or from within, sing it again, sing it again
Love is a tree, hate 's just a weed, beauty's the seed, and love is a tree
Love is a tree, hate 's just a weed, beauty's the seed, we'll be the trees
Trees who ride horses, horses made of light
we will ride horses, horses made of light
We'll cut a hole straight through the night
Riding our horses, horses made of light

You've got a love like, ain't written nothing in the daylight
Dream comes to me in the middle of the night, and I can't find a pen
So get your head square, if you get me high on what you can spare
Then soothe me down from the nightmare
The only way you know how
So come on, come on, and love me
The only way you know how
You are a kingdom, an evil empire like the other ones
Built on the backs of the millions
The only way you know how
So come on, come on, and love me
The only way you know how
And it's a spotlight, you're the man with the stage fright
No more curtain for you to hide behind
The only way you know how
So come on, come on, and love me
The only way you know how
So come on, come on, and love me,
love me, love me, love me

Costumes
02:15
|

Standing out there and you're trying to get me
Wouldn't even know it if you met me
I wouldn't even know it if we lost you
Happy Halloween we're all wearing our costumes
Once I lost it and then I found it
But it was never the same ain't no way around it
Everything is changing except the change
Some days I don't even know my own name
I wish would be I know I should be
Half as happy as I could be
Some days I don't even want to wake up
And I dream I'm asleep and I dream I'm asleep

The moon has fazes, and it shows all of those different faces
and me i'm not so different from that old man, I go from full to half to empty and then back again
and though the sun remains the same, burning hot and bright and yellow day after day
You can bet that old man will be around, long after that gasbag has burned herself out
and I might dim, might dim
but I won't ever shut off on you
Juliette she told romeo, don't you swear by the moon cause he changes so
but one thing that old beauty never knew, is they don't call the moon dim they just call him new
and I might dim, might dim
but I won't ever shut off on you
Don't ever let it go out, don't ever let it go out
Keep your foot on the gas and give it choke when in doubt
but don't ever let it go out

Woman In The Sea
03:08

Saw that ancient monument
that they parked out by the sea
and theres a poem written at the foot of it
in a language we can no longer read
One thing we know from the New Sea scrolls
is she was sacred to her citizens
They claimed the fire that she holds
cleansed the promised land for them
You're standing on a valley that was once a mountain
strip mined strip malled but that old man so tall
gonna stand some day again
Our loved ones dear
all draw near every 40th of July
to celebrate interdependence day
as the drones light up the sky
and history might repeat
but that's okay by us
cause it's recorded and sorted
by systems exported by the World Union Trust
You're standing on a valley that was once a mountain
strip mined strip malled but that old man so tall
gonna stand some day again
You're standing on a mountain that was once a valley
filled up built up but that old gal so tough
is digging herself free
