Elegant Train
03:40

I recall the dream
of living in an elegant train
I know longer walks
But I recall the dream
of living in an elegant train
I don't run a rosey road
that melts yellow
But I recall the dream
of living in an elegant train
I know longer walks
But I recall the dream
of living in an elegant train
I don't run a roller
over hills and meadows
Now I'm diving into a mint cloud
Now I'm diving into a mint cloud
And you know
that it went even where no other
could go
I don't run a rosey road
that melts yellow
And you know
that it went even where no other
could go
I don't run a roller
over hills and meadows
Now I'm diving into a mint cloud
Now I'm diving into a mint cloud

Key Surfano

|
I was seated
1, 2, 3, 6
ALIEN: "I want to regulate
your Key Surfano
E, Con, 2, K"
I didn't have to wait
The place was shave
And when the lights came down
from the blue sky
I prayed
I was an eagle
See how he how I can see
I could pitch your earring a Nudi moto
See photos
I could pitch it in the sea
Oh zero no
I could pitch it in the sea
Oh zero no

Ariel

Money and you're an Ariel
Not enough
And you're an Itchy Harold
Setting is crimson pheasant approaching
Maybe you're on a farm
A dog is licking you're arms
Spend is there in your hollow arms
Yeah
Now it is all very clear today
Money and you're an Ariel
Not enough
And you're an Itchy Harold
Money and you're an Ariel

Helicopter Skull
03:20
|
|||
|
When you come alone
Will you leave a tape on
That says you're not at home
When my Earth to your Sky hangs on
And I feel it hanging on
It's like the herb in your head
Helicopter Skull sees the lake
beyond the trees and through the field
and the Amethyst Caves

Indian Rug
02:32
|
|||
|
You don't know
what you're feeling yet
Feel it rushing
through your blood
and your veins
and your head
It's a rush like death
Splashed across the universe
spilled into space
splashed on the sun
I'm feeling visionary
Color perception
It doesn't matter if it's a Jack
or a King
or a Spade
Just like an Indian rug
it sings a song about
the story it shows
I'm painted out of flesh and bone
and I can tell you how it feels
to be sewn
and torn and resewn

Nature Boy Elvis
04:22

|
Nature Boy Elvis said
"There is honor in men
I was in the Vikings
And I towed a ship"
Snakes and bugs in my bed
When somebody left
Olive butter, sand and bread
You were all but Jesus back then
With the sand and the band around the boat
In the Dead Sea leaking a red round note
Or is it water on the road
Call you Pepperhead
Make you dead
Call you Ken
You've got your women all untied
They got birds from their heads

Calamity Jane
03:29
|
|||
|
No one's playing the dangerous games
You see the snow is the summer rain
Was it Alice at the last parade
or Calamity Jane
She's the kind of girl with charge in her head
About the tight she took the rebound
Was it Mary not quite addressed
or Calamity Jane
With the kind of look that makes you dead
Hey you're a pine living in the ground
Was it Lesley in an Ariel dress
or Calamity Jane
No one's playing the dangerous games
You see the snow is the summer rain
Was it Alice at the last parade
or Calamity Jane

Tricolate
02:16
|
|||
|
When I send thought waves
I'll be hearing everybody say
"Jesus saves!"
When I hear you say
I drove my car around the Crystal Lake
I feel the coast tricolate
I feel a ghost when it's getting late
When I see Dog's Head
He'll be reeling in a bottle of J
But he's OK
