I have waited
dined on ashes
swung from chandeliers
and climbed the Everest,
and none of it's gotten me
close to this.
I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
We've been good
even a blast
but don't you feel like
something's missing here?
Don't you dear?
I've waited all my life
if not now, when will I
stand up and face the bright light?
Don't hide your eyes...
it's time.
No Umbrellas
no sunglasses
hell and hallelujah everyday.
I've waited all my life
if not now, when will I
stand up and face the bright light?

I'm only 23 for another hour, give or take
I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake
I'm not a sinner or preacher, all I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band.
"Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat"
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises
No promises
I've never done this before. Promises, promises...
But I'm enjoying the illusion and the things my body says
Now you see me, now you don't,
"Oh how well you disappear!
What are you running from and may I interfere?"
"Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat"

I'm a ne'er do well
runnin' off black and goat
It's high time I pulled over
and walked around
a while .
I've seen the porcelain shell
your exoskeleton
And I feel like we’d walk well
together
Because in the end, we are friends and lovers.
If asked of me I would
I would gobble them to bits
The things that wall us off from
where we belong
What's wrong with you is good
for what's wrong with me
and I think maybe we should
stick
together.
Because in the end, we are friends and lovers
We are friends and lovers.
Abandon all the bold
we've got to pick
they only weigh us down
and
we are better than that
And if they offer stones
start a collection
of everything we're not
and what's because
we should never have to defend
being friends and lovers.
We are friends and lovers.

You're happy all of the time
I just don't understand why I can't be happy too.
Your smiles are salt in the wound
A slap upon a back that's been toiling in the sun.
Oh when will I get mine?
Or must I be a God fearing, white American?
Oh everything is fine
As long as you're a God fearing, white American.
Why should the thieves have all of the fun?
Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone.
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all.
You're the man about the town,
the beauty queen
the paragon of Civilization.
But shadows cling to us all
even those convinced that they're sheltered and immune.

Erica and her Isadore
climbed aboard a balloon
I want more than this kite will soar
I've set our sights on the moon
You can't just leave I've given everything
I can't believe your taking everything, your taking everything
oh
It’s not who you were, it’s who you are
and we've come this far lover, no?
I won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore
Blinded by their unbridled height
our lovers turned dissolute
You can't just leave I've given everything
I can't believe your taking everything, your taking everything
oh
It’s not who you were it’s who you are
and we've come this far lover, no?
I won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore
knows the name Isadore
Then with eyes wide, a splintered sight
there's just one parachute
goodbye Erica now I see
that my worst fears were in tune
It’s not who you were, it’s who you are
and we've come this far lover, no?
I won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore
knows the name Isadore
Won't rest until the world knows the name Isadore.

I only go where I’m wanted
you go only where you want
I aim to be more like you
there is a ghost in my house
rattling handles on every door
show us an open window or two
would you?
Doors are starting to close
and you drew a rose my, my
your mind it is original, oh
you’re a skeleton key, opening me,
my, my; your mind it is original, girl you’re the original
always were
and always will be
The flowers of adaptation
unfold and lovingly alarm
you effortlessly ring that bell
your stripes are yours and yours only
the bow ideal of rare birds
and now I am under your spell

You almost had me there!
it was the batting lashes that gave you away.
your're bold beyond repair!
and there's and absense today, of defiance,
a most awaken inclination.
and your elegant abberation...
something's happening!
and all the rebels and devils have come to naught
but here you're sirening
and who would unring, your bell?

I was lost but now I am found.
A line was crossed, a vessel run aground.
The boy has gone, let's grieve and let him go.
He left at dawn, but it's a new day don't you know?
In the company of wolves I sat in silence
observant and afraid
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
the man knew she was made.
I was lost but now I am high.
It helps to know serenity from ennui.
Something's wrong, something's wrong, when it all remains the same.
So face the fire, come into your name.
In the company of wolves I sat in silence, observant and afraid.
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers, the man you see was made. Ohhhhhooo..
Even I can't recall how many days I have been out there
But when Aurora's light ceased to shine, I was alive, I think, for the first time.
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds but she bites like loveless eyes, and with her belly full she culled this rite of passage it was the longest night of my life.
Say it was the longest night of my life.

I know you vie for the good ol’ days
There were less of us around, we were a cinch to sway.
Does it feel like it’s the end of the world?
Well maybe it is, ma when was it not?
‘Cause it’s true
me and you
we are all tomorrow’s food...
today.
There’s no such things as the good ol’ days
The older we all get, the better we all were.
There’s no such thing as “the end of the world”
(But just in case)
you best batten down and button up!
‘Cause it’s true
me and you
we are all tomorrow’s food...
Today!

Baby we could make it to the outer reaches of inner space
Create castles
Monuments to flesh
A triangled Valhalla on the side of the moon
Raven eyes ghost Valkyries
Rebel girls rebel girls tearing it up
Pay no mind to the divide
Raven eyes all over me, rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Damnit I need to climb
Do it slow
Rebel girls rebel girls tearing it up
No one will know
Rarest bird
Rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Rebel girls
Meeting at the gates is blue eyed and blonde
With black eyed and brown we'll make tangible
Inner space reflect the never quiet rebellion on the side of the moon
Ravened eyes those Valkyries
Rebel girl rebel girls tearing it up
Pay no to the divide
Raven eyes all over me
Rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Damnit I need to climb
Do it slow

Do you read me, mayday
Aeronaut to base
I confess I'm a mess
No egress
Alone, hovering in space
Is there anyone out there
Why the third degree?
Never knew
Until you
How silence could be so sonorous and deep
Wherever you are
Send out a flare
This is an attempt to connect,
Edify and dissect
Send a light
Send repair
From surface to air
Do you hear me, mayday?
I am in search of
But I'm caught in a knot
Goes to say
So below is as above
Is there anyone out there?
I am high and dry
Suffering is a theme
But reckoning is the only reason why
We suffer at all

The road is long
The trees are orange and brown
