I once adored a chemical reaction
Her eyes were made from pieces of the moon
But now I fight the angels for her halo
She feels that she has nothing left to prove
We once had dreams of being something useful
A sword someone would keep at their side
A friction that would spark a revolution
A radio in tune with the sky
Well, we tried
Now everyone can share what's left
We can share our breath
We c...
There's a narrow bridge that leads me to your door
Between the apple trees and poison leaves that form
Around my shoulders as they toss me back and forth
They bring me pleasure and they always keep me warm
There's a cashman, there are quick cures
There are taste tests, there are trash whores
There is numbness, there is feeling
There is sickness, there is healing
And I'm halfway to you but I'm ...
You stood beside a burning bush
And let the trumpetmen catch fire
You squeezed a flood out of a stone
And all the people drank it dry
So all the ships returned to land
The birds could swim
The fish could fly
The angels couldn't understand
How everyone could get it right
Circus composer, you let us get closer
You stood below a tangerine
And let the fruit roll melt away
And all the world was you...
Your mother's voice was bleeding through the ceiling
As we rolled around along the kitchen floor
We could see your father in the backyard kneeling
Funny your mother doens't kneel much anymore
But I pushed myself right through you for the first time
And I told you that I'd never be untrue
And I held you like I never had before
Sister found the pills now for the first time
We all loved her more ...
Swing, like a chariot
At the trumpet call
When we're all unsaved, swing
Like a wrecking ball
Like the heart of god
What a mystery
Filled with the wedding feast
For the snakes and beasts
With the angel teeth, swing
Come and carry us
Come and marry us
To the blushing circus king
And dance like elephants as he comes to us
Through a fiery golden ring
With a violin and a song to sing
As he brings f...
I heard it's getting windy so I'll set and watch you blow
I will chain you to my boat
I will carry you back home
And I won't say I love you cause it's all been said before
Let's not say it anymore
'cause love nothing here's for sure
They treat us like dogs
So we play along
We bark and we moan
And play them more songs
But when we blow away
And get out of this place
We go down like a shower
And ...
Hey Mr. Elephant there's been an accident down here
You and your trickery played a trick on me down here
Hey, Mr. Elephant it's important that you see
That there is a big reward if you cooperate with me
Hey, Mr. Flower Jar there's a curtain call out here
You made it look so real we could almost feel you here
Hey, Mr. Flower Jar we've all cleared a space for you
You've got a heart of gold and y...
I am blowing for a trumpet
Hallelujah
You stood too close to the sunset
And it finally outgrew you
So now I paint you on my doorpost
Like I knew you
I make all of the right noises
But they never make it to you
I'm as heavy as a feather
Hallelujah
You're a confused little soldier
And the bullets go right through you
So now I march you to a tin pan
Through the alley
So the death angel understand...
I'll shed a feather for the lord
And I'll blow the trumpet on the shore
Just like the birds do in the morn
I'll be a savior and I'll be your ??
You'll be a diamond in the sand
And all of the finders will clap their hands
Glory abounds us we found dry land
And all of us finders will clap our hands
And all of us finders will clap our hands
And all of us finders will clap our hands
Oh dear soul,
We gather in the wind,
Clap your hands, it's all just like they said
And how good it is to be with you again
Clap your hands, it's better than they said
Oh dear soul,
We're caught up in the trees,
Look at me and tell me what you see
Praise to you, praise to me
Oh dear soul,
You blow just like the leaves
And they glued us in forever
Just like they said they'd do
So we will stick t...
Angel, way before there was goodness
Way before there was sadness
You were just like one of us
You were here stuck among us
You were one time a killer
An untrustable stealer
An unswayable doubter
So don't be so hard on us
Angel, way before there was darkness
Way before there was lightness
You were an in-betweener
You were riding the dog fence
You were no more and no less
You were no more and n...
Blue eyes when the wind was done
You were lying like a soldier
In the grass, in the grass,
Like the war was over
Blue eyes when you took a breath
It was heavy on my shoulder
Clap your hands, clap your hands
It looks like the worst is over
Blue eyes when the wind was here
You were blown just like a feather
In the trees, in the trees
You were caught inside forever
Blue eyes when you hold your br...
I will sing a song to you
And you will shake the ground for me
And the birds and bees and old fruit trees
Will spit out songs like gushing streams
And Jesus will come through the ground so dirty
With worms in his hair and a hand so sturdy
To call us his magic we call him worthy
Jesus came up through the ground do dirty
I will sing a song for to you
And you will stomp your feet for me
And the b...
You, me, and all the kings and queens
Buried in the junkyard,
And every time the herald Cherub sings
We rattle with the car parts
I was born to lie here patiently
Be dragged on by the black star
And you were told to glow majestically
And love until your hands bleed
You stole your mother's whitest gown
Swallowed like a sunbeam
And I stole your father's crusted crown
It shook us like a bad dream...
Soon your love will turn into the interruption
And your faith will turn into a lover's face
But if you find someone that you can place your trust in
Will you call and let me know that he exists
Soon your heart will turn a stranger's mystery
And your wrongs will hang a stranger from a tree
But if it feels as though there must be something missing
Then you must know how it would feel to be compl...
There's a northern town where my rents all paid
And an endless day where my love awaits
She's been working so hard, she's been working so hard
She's been working so hard, she's been working so hard
And she loves all my mistakes and
She loves the mess I've made and
She loves me more than heaven and
She loves me more than love and
She loves me more than life and
She loves me more than pain and
S...
When you curse your name I'm a receiver
When your heart can't change I'm a receive
Do I love like a stranger?
The world keeps getting stranger all the time
And the distance is greater
Than any rope I ever tied around your waist
To keep our tumbles in rhythm
Oh, a heart is a pocket for loose change
We scrape and we save and we wait for a raise
Did you watch as our muscles divided in rhythm?
I c...
Who will shadow you home
These streets are getting crazy
I've got air pollution in my mouth
And it's getting tired of waiting
Until our youth burns away
You'll stay here beside me
And let the city lights keep rhythm
With the beating heart inside me
You were made out of my ribs
We share a heart, we share the stars
I'll wrap you tight around my wrist
To keep you pumping through my arms
You were ...
Oh, how we lay like spoiled skin beneath the leaves
Oh, how the ring will never fit the finger properly
If I could rip it from its bond
I'd tie your eyes to me so tight
Because the years are getting slower
Oh, I'm a suitcase with the hinges bursting free
As to say you're stuffed too full
You have to give your lover's throat away
So through each pore I sweat the linger of your love away
So fast...
I watched her sleep from the driver's seat
And she turned into an ocean spitting fish into my sea
Oh, how she flickered to remain so young and innocently sweet
And how the secrets in her belly wrestle softly for her keeping
Like the ring that left her finger green
And the knife that sent her shivering body free
Oh, like a knot she tied so sweetly around me
We were aware of our bounderies
Somed...
You were my beliefs all rusting over
And I was disappoint within your spine
We noticed that the stars were all exploding
So we stared into the sky till we were blind
Then cut off both our arms and reached for nothing
And rewound the frames that twisted in our minds
And we watched their separate lives in backwards motion
So we ended up connected at the sides
And I wondered if the sky was just a...
Hey, hey, hey, you on the trampoline
Trying to see everything
Hey, hey, hey, sweet little Cherubin
Where has your papa been?
You've got the keys to his chariot
And I bet it looks hilarious
To watch it drag the terriers
And all the bugs that fair the earth
Through all the dams and barriers
Turn the vessel upside down
Turn the vessel upside down
Let us swim or let us drown
I am lost but I have f...
I heard someone say they couldn't speak,
And I heard someone hear they couldn't hear,
And I saw someone see they couldn't see me,
You see everything here
And I saw someone burning in the bushes,
And I saw someone shining like the sun,
And I saw all the angels circle 'round us,
Up here you see everyone
I saw you floating in a river,
With all the holes inside your boat,
You were swallowed up by ...
I saw a flower on the doorstep making love with the sun
And it turned into a garden when they were done
So they'll construct themselves a home all made of water, soil and air
There the cycle has begun
Until the good starts making well with all the evil
We remain as two
She left a flower in my suitcase with a picture of us both
So I just cut it into halves
I sent her half inside a heaven sort o...
I believe in windy days when everything gets blown away oh
Please let me be blown away I
Promise you I'm not afraid
I will sing a circus song
About the birds and lion hearts
But please if I forget to stop
Remind me who I am and what you are
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
I believe in kings and queens
And everything stuck in between
But pleas...
