Acorn 03:33
lyrics

Hey little reaper, gathering nuts in your bed Hey little sleeper, they're knockin' around in your head I'm comin now, from a long sleep I've got my rocket and my submarine I've got a pocket full of acorns I picked with a friend in the place we were born Hey down South, I'm sending my birds to your roof And this first of November is just the same as all the ones of our youth I'm comin now, from a long sleep I've got my rocket and my submarine I've got a pocket full of acorns I picked with a friend in the place we were born There's nothing as real as the woods where we walked silently And I still feel our summer dream and endless autumn leaves November mysteries So please, wait up for me cause I'm comin now. Hey down South, you picked up an acorn today No need to open your mouth, I still hear every word you say

Don't touch me like that, I'm water Don't touch me like that, you'll burn your hands You need to know where I came from You need to know Don't touch me like that I'm water Don't touch me like that, you'll burn your hands You need to know where I came from I'm the queen of rock and sand and stone I'm the queen of dirt and blood and flesh and bone I have been to countries, I can't remember which you're from but I could sit with you for hours and still be having fun yes I could fall in love with you just because you're kind to old ladies and babies yeah I could make you mine I'll meet your fire with fire and we can build a bigger flame douse it out tomorrow and then we'll light it up again and I should tell you that I am giving you a chance I should tell you I am giving you a chance and I never give anyone a chance Don't touch me like I am water Don't touch me like that, you'll burn your hands You need to know where you came from You need to know Don't touch me like I am water Don't touch me like that, you'll burn your hands You need to know where you came from You're the king of rock and sand and stone You're the king of dirt and blood and flesh and bone I'll meet your fire with fire and we can build a bigger flame douse it out tomorrow and then we'll light it up again I should tell you I could fall in love with you (3X)

Bones 04:22
lyrics

Bones Verse 1 The bottle smashed, the bowl is cashed I'm lucid dreaming but I'm awake I like my logic when it's like this, totally trashed There's not an insect to be found My head is touching stars and my feet are underground In the ground, where we all become the same And there are storms, but there's no rain Chorus Bones bones bones Creatures that are tucked away, burning in the desert clay Bones, bones Verse 2 I've got a secret in my hat And I will trade it for a kiss In the desert there is wind but there's no rain and it moves me like this I've got two hundred and a few I'm asking questions through my hands and my hands are touching you and it moves me, it moves me, it moves me like this like this Chorus Bones bones bones Turn beneath the stars, Venus shows herself to Mars Bones, bones Verse 3 So lay me down in the dust Hold my skin that holds my bones, surfaces that will become a home to you five hundred bones between us, rolling over the bones beneath us, I'll be home to you Chorus Bones bones bones Turn beneath the stars, Venus shows herself to Mars Bones, bones, bones I don't wanna cover up these bones, bones I don't wanna cover up these bones, bones

Ride (Feat. Ayumi Perry) 03:29
lyrics

I'm gonna see the mind of the maker, gonna touch the hands of the damned I'm gonna ride this tidal wave til it meets the land follow the people under the bridge where the candles burn creekside step up the riverbank into your truck and let you take me for another ride I wanna lean my head out the window feel the wind and jump in the water and I only wanna lie in the arms of a man who can love me harder (2X)

you oughta know that I can read the smoke in your shadow and I could stay tonight, I could leave my dust on your pillow I will haunt you like I'd haunt my own killer I will find you without a name I will haunt you like I'd haunt my own killer you better watch your black heart cause we're all the same your protection don't mean much if it's only against other men and my affection won't touch you nohow, as long as you're touching my skin I will haunt you like I'd haunt my own killer I will find you without a name I will haunt you like I'd haunt my own killer you better watch your black heart cause we're all the same

Stay in the Dark 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Glass is shattered around the park a broken window in every car let's stay in the dark I'd rather stay in the dark Old lady asks to take a bite of somethin off our plate I couldn't say why you turned away We need a space for all these lonely faces I couldn't say why you turned away The tambourine man he shakes a shaker shaker from a can keeps him warm where he stands We need a space for all these lonely graces I couldn't say why you turned away shadows in the dark circle their chosen parts charcoal turns to cold grey shoes that shuffle away Sirens in the night and the sound of another street fight anything to get high while we're still alive while we're still alive while we're still alive while we're still alive while we're still alive

Color of Everything 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Been thinkin about these things, things I've said learned 'em from other people Let's not worry about these things, better left for dead only words we said The tone of your arms is printed on my sheets I can't give it up easily and the color of your skin is beautiful brown hope I see you around I can't believe that words so quick can tear apart the things we thought would stick cause they're not what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me The poet in my heart is lying on the ground litter all around she's reaching for the bottle, then putting it away no words left to say I can't believe that words so quick can tear apart the things we thought would stick cause they're not what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me I know our skins are both the color of everything and that's what you mean to me that's what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me what you mean to me

My friend, I am so tired won't you come to me and talk for a while? And you said she had you inspired but who's the girl who listens to you at the end of the day? I don't mind, leave the credit behind, my friend you make me feel like a little sitting Buddha My friend, please keep me close by like a little lucky charm that you hold tight in your fist And you always ask me why did you get what you asked for, why did you ask for this? I say it's a necessary death and you say wait. and let me get my pen and I smile because it's true, cause it's the best gift that I can give to you My friend, my friend, my friend

I hope you'll forgive my fumbling I'll stand by the maple tree and sing to you, such pretty things I hope you'll be patient with me Cause there are parts of you I'd like to see Roll, Daddy, roll I keep my money and I lose my soul (2X) I'm gonna jump But these are baby wings So stand by that maple stump I'm ready Roll, Daddy, roll I keep my money and I lose my soul (4X) Someday, I'll call you in for dinner and you'll stay

Verse 1 I'd like to hear your saddest song take it away play it for me once play it over again If you would let me hear your music I'd listen for myself then tell the world about your songs sweep them off the shelf Chorus So play your mandolin, play it just for me And I'll be far away, but I'll be listening I'll play my guitar, I'll play it just for you You can run from love, but you can't run from the blues Verse 2 I'd like to hear your saddest song take it away play it for me once play it over again If you would let me hear your music I'd listen for hours All your love and all your madness It gives me Chorus Bridge (Instrumental) Chorus
