Those seducers [4x]
bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers, fine eager seekers,
deep deef down
beautiful lines from above and we're all a-glow
raise her head and things get warm, hold on to its leg, before it flies away
sun lit walks, I feel no harm, my primitive words match my primitive heart
it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam
and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar
and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar
Then like sheep led to sacrifial slaughter, they don't mind, but they oughta,
all the time (they oughta)
their pretty shells are so inviting, well protected
their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers

it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine [x2]
I'm feeling troubled, I'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back

it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam [x2]

it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these fears of mine
I'm feeling troubled, I'm feeling trapped, can't shake that bubble off my back
I feel no harm, I feel no harm, ...feel no harm

its not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam
what once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles until you break

. . .



So you come dripping from the hive
Glittering as you arrive
High half as long and twice as bright
See you burning from both sides (from both sides) [x2]
You come slipping down the slide
Dragging me by your side
Phony colors in your eyes
Soul's obscene but I don't mind (I don't mind)
You're so obscene but I don't mind (don't mind)
Yea yea yea yea yea yea

You come whipping through my life
Flipping out like some old wife
Your syringe mouth is open wide

. . .



No, I won't chicken out
Hey, wait, babe
Wait up now
Hey babe, wait up now
If we could find a space
Where we could both stretch out
Roll like coney island cyclones
No, I won't chicken out
No, I won't chicken out

No doubt babe
No doubt now
No doubt babe
No doubt now

I spend all day
On your mom's couch
Spend all night
And I won't chicken out
No, I won't chicken out

Let's go out tonight
Find a sunny space
Picking up the skylab
Throw it back in space

No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)
No, I won't chicken out (I'm not messing with you)

I see blue
I see black
I see you
In a crack
I see snow
I see cold
I see someone
Getting old

and it's cold outside
so cold outside

I need pink
I need green
I need someone
Who sews up seam

I need everything

But it's cold outside
So cold outside

I see all the colors of the spring
I see you wearing my ring

And it's warmer outside
It's so much warmer outside

and it's warmer

Still you're there

I see you
in a crack
crack...
crack...

Onto the ice flow
Where all the
Where heaven put the seeds
Here on the ice flow
A treasure dust of grass
My drove them engines
For

Onto the ice flow
Where the wind starts to move
And the earth will have a flood

Here on the ice flow
Where skulls go as long
Girls never sleep
Girls will die


. . .



I've seen you eat away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you chisel away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
and you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I've seen you fritter away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you whittle away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the spine

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I wonder why I stay
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine
I've seen you eat away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

I wonder what to do
slow as a glacier takes to move on through the world

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

And you wonder why I leave so soon
how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room

I've seen you chisel away
Hammer in place always in time
I've seen you chisel away
slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

And you wonder why I leave so soon

Space Patrol
It's out there
I'd better get my pants back on

I sensed a new scent
So innocent and bent.
I sense a new scent that's innocent and spent.
I feel good. Not so good.
Very Sleepy Rivers
A very sleepy place
Very Sleepy Rivers
A very sleepy place
milk silver and sulk
fish in warm clear liquid
I feel so wet.
I feel kinda misguided.

I wish everything was lusty

I believe in colour

I believe in coming unglued
I believe when you're far away
your father waiting
in a very sleepy place
a very sleepy river

very sleepy cushy wave
a very sleepy place
a very sleepy river

very sleepy river
very sleepy place
a very sleepy river
