. . .


In pencil lines of ages past,
Idea maps were being drawn
Over the world.

Storytime in your wildest mind.
What a wonderful.
Magic animal.

Mother to child.
Singing a long song.

Set sail, seaworthy vessels.
Fill your holds with the sounds
Of daughters and sons
Wagging their tongues.

Written down in ink so clear,
Voices of a yesteryear.
Dreams are whispered in an ear.

. . .


Tale of the traitors
Pretty, pretty twin sisters
Be kind, be shy we're all lies
Witty wicked, destroyers
Tale of killers, they're killers
Showed my back and so long

Never be traitors
Pretty, pretty twin sisters
So fine, so shine what we had
Tricky two heads deceivers

. . .


They were called The Runners Four
Always slipping through the back door
When they come ashore

Sneaking through their precious load,
Cheating customs in a speedboat

When they come in from far away
Oh they never can stay
They fly away to other skies
With the sun in their eyes

Make their entrance two by two
Bringing us a thought that's so new
Whistling secret tunes

And smuggling through their precious smile
Breaking customs for a short while

. . .


Baby baby hi five.
Baby baby say hi.
Little little ones.
Mon ami nna.

Take my hands now.
Walk to where you like.
Streets are flowers.

Kites are flying by.
Winter turns summer.
Sense will be hi-fi.

Baby baby hi five.
Baby baby say hi.
Little little ones.
Mon ami nna.
Mon ami nna.

Love, love, love,
La, la, la...

Baby, you promise me
You will magic me.
Magic me.
Promise me.
Magic me.

Hearts are closer.
Sing a song we like.
Laugh together.

I'll paint your cheek colorfully.
Will you like it to be blue, red, or green?

. . .


When you're overly confident,
Then it's over before beginning the good part.
Everybody fades away.
Waves.. waves carrying them away.
Wait.. wait,
O'Malley, O'Malley, O'Malley..
O'Malley, O'Malley, O'Malley,
Sing with me, sing with me, sing with me
Or I won't even sing.

Hooray, hooray,
O'Malley, run.
Hooray, hooray,
O'Malley, fun.
Used to be the underdog,
Hooray, O'Malley, run.
But you're overly confident.
So it's over before beginning the good part.
Everybody fades away;
We got carried away.

. . .


Pirates on an odyssey,
We ask the captain 'what will be?'
When winter's gone
We might be wrong
My companions focus me
On the bright real sun
You're my reason to go

Careless whither I be led
How long will we last?
Out on the sea

Talking people happily
When they're right feel wrong
You're my real home
Out on the sea

. . .


Bend the machine
See the pendulum swing and go in between

When you hunger number one
It's no wonder under fun
Don't be mean to see the green
You get caught in the machine
You're caught in the machine

Here's a message she would say
Don't forget me yesterday
Cause today's no place to stay
Will you spirit me away?
You spirit me away

Bend the machine, Bend the machine
See the pendulum swing and go in between
Skip the waves, syncopate
Forwards backwards
[Olulululu]

Skip the waves, syncopate
Forwards backwards
[Olululu]

Skip the waves, syncopate
Forwards backwards
[Olululu]

. . .


Bless spirit ditties of no tone.
Inspirations.
Unsensations.
Modulate more silence.

You and I may forsee.
We can be history,
Painted on wall that's near
Ought to.
Montage fragments.
Ditties of no tone.
Montage fragments.
Ditties of no tone.

Bless spirit ditties of no tone.
Inspirations.
Unsensations.
Modulate more silence.

Bless spirit ditties of no tone.
Inspirations.
Unsensations.
Modulate more silence.

. . .


Guiding you, a voice is coming from behind the stage
Finding you, a voice is found on a missing page
Winding through, a plot controller from another age!

Pulling the cord of mystery
Cheating a clock
Meeting a team from history

A stranger's face is seen - but was he on our team?
The lights go out and everybody screamed - team!
A friend who was a foe
The quarter whistle is about to blow
Then I go

Tunnel under, tunnel under, underground
Enter sideways, reaching all around
In the darkness I will not be found

Invisible people doing the wave
Invisible people doing the wave
Invisible people doing the wave

. . .


Your legs don't work and you're caught in the light
You can see through the walls so nothing is right
There's a man in the cellar next door
And he's scratching the floor fifty miles away
You didn't know him till today

You're walking home and your heart has been drained
But you're eyes have been newly trained
And the roof is invisible now
It's incredible how you were ever blind
Now you will always find

Rooms are connected
Eyes are perfected
Hey now now hey now now you can see

Something you shouldn't be
Something suddenly free
What will happen now?
If the eyes are too strong
The horizon's too long
I can see I can see
But mama says it's wrong

In the night I'll lose it.
It's not right but I'll use it.
I can see I can see.

As my lungs fill with air
The whole world is laid bare
What will happen to me?
The warning says you can see
You will forever riddle

. . .


I ride the bike at night
Not lie
I heard the footstepping sounds
Come after me
Turning the corner
I see no one
Silence

The turner
The runner

. . .


Hello lover, I can't do you harm
Middle lover, I did do you harm whenever I want to
Oh no, the ladder collapsing
The matter relaxing
The girl can't sing

LLLLLLLu lover running backwards now
Lover it is now

Then tomorrow crashes down
At a hundred miles an hour, and it's sour
The goodbye, the goodbye
The lover sighs

. . .


Boom light that fire
Howl, howl, howl
Deergod's eyes
Wild music of the hoof playing in big fire
Boom light that fire
Howl, howl, howl
Lunatic night rises
Sonic of the moon flips them inside out

Glowing slowly

Sonic of the moon lifts us to higher
You got to rouse now
How, how, how?
Be a Sirius star
Nobody's no more fools you to think how
No gabs about them
No, no, no
Open your eyes wide

Breathe sets you free

Count the stars. Be blind to see
Whisper I will seek out
A luminous tonight
Sights are fading

Revive your fire
Now, now, now
We have wolf minds
Knock your door of the minds hard to wake them up
Bark to the moon loud
Shout, shout, shout
Make a wish come true

Glare eternity

. . .


Farmer wins a trophy and hands it to you.
The little lemon hides its rind.
Sour person's double mind,
Who won't let go of you.
A troubled team, a little lemon who
Still lives inside of you.

The tree won't bend and make the shade.
Twenty persons' lemonade,
Who want too much from you.
A troubled team of little lemons who
Still live inside of you.

A little sibling makes the choice for two.
Which one was you?
Lemon and little lemon..
Lemon and little lemon,
Growing too low.

. . .


Stuck to the roof,
Skinny man smiles to the skies and
Waits for a new day.

Dots and a dash,
Warning flash,
Energy surging;
Costly vitality.

Lightning rod, run.
Lightning rod,
Still tied down to the ground.

Lightning rod, run.
Lightning rod,
He sees cracks in the clouds.

Run, run, run.
Run, run, run.
Run, run, run.
Run, run, run...

. . .


Are you a dry kind of one?
Do tell me.
Show me your tongue
And I'll make you healthy.

Peppercorn, peppercorn.
Peppercorn, peppercorn.

I'm very cold, and I'm wet.
My tummy.
But peppercorn, true to form,
Can't help me.

Wading salty waters of this river.
I noticed that a heart was getting bigger-
It grew twice its size.

Peppercorn, peppercorn.
Peppercorn, peppercorn.

News From A Bird

[No lyrics]

. . .


Spy on you, spy on you
Follow you, follow you
Spy on you, spy on you
After you, after you

Under investigation
I have your information

Hiding, finding, everywhere
Hiding, finding, always there

Uh oh, shadow
Someone is following, following me
Oh no, shadow
Someone is following, following you
Under investigation

I've got all the information

. . .


Hidden gamble.
Double meeting.
We are the remaining.
Cast afloat on icy water.
Can I really leave?

Apparitions are reminders
Of what will never come back.
We imagine new horizon.
Life infinity.

Rain fall.
White out, empty, damaging.
Ark sailing.
Believe all fools or die.

. . .
