you think you’re cool but it’s just another distraction
you’re not immune to the rules of attraction
was it true we embraced in 69
did the planet believe a lie?
I think you’re drawn to someone with more mass than I

moongirl- it’s been a lonely century
lull me with the motion of your tide
moongirl- is it you mean so much to me?
help me find tranquility inside

they say that only 3 have ever seen the likes of your dark side
but that doesn’t mean that I can’t have a crack at my time
your legendary right hook and two kisses in a cab
I’ll bet you a jackson that’s the most I’ll ever have

moongirl- it’s been a lonely century
lull me with the motion of your tide
moongirl- is it you mean so much to me?
help me find tranquility in time

and on those harvest nights
when you seem so close that I might kiss you
it’s a thumbnail illusion
and on those harvest nights
when you seem so close I start to miss you
and I wake up in confusion

moongirl- it’s been a lonely century
lull me with the motion of your tide
moongirl- is it you mean so much to me?
help me find tranquility inside

get a squirtgun
galaxie 500 and a car
off the fastest road take the faster road onto the fast road
encore

taste your lips
it’s sweat on our cigarette
your dreams will never be the same again
taste your lips
i do say it’s heaven sent
oh oh oh

frolic with bambi
the scenic route is just around the bend
off the fastest road take the faster road onto the fast road
amen

taste your lips
it’s sweat on our cigarette
your dreams will never be the same again
taste your lips
i do swear it’s heaven sent

and you know it’s just the little things
that keep me warm at night
when the world spins just right
if you can weather the anticipation
it’s a message for across the nations
everything is just as supposed to be

taste your lips
it’s sweat on our cigarette
your dreams will never be the same again
taste your lips
i do swear it’s heaven sent

innocence is fleeting now
above the sky and over london
dealing out secret goodbyes
the cell goes dead- i know it’s over

but with time
it comes clear
there is sanctuary
and i cannot hide
what’s inside
bring me sanctuary

the vega system beckons now
without past without future
hard blue jeans, dilated eyes
the cell snaps on- i pull you closer

and with time
it comes clear
all is sanctuary
and i cannot hidewhat’s inside
all is sanctuary

and i would have never known
if it had all been blown
and i never would have seen
the tears in your eyes

and with time
it comes clear
all is sanctuary
and i cannot hide
what’s inside
all is sanctuary

memories that make me jump the groove
every time i think of you
electric shocks that make my body move
there’s no explanation

it all comes flooding back through time
the golden era when called you mine
monorail rides with my hand beneath your theigh
with no destination

the only one i ever wanted
the only one i ever wanted
the only one i ever wanted

i flew a cessna to cancun
with treasured hopes of finding you
but the tailwind died out much too soon
leaving me stranded

today i finally realized
the accident that locked you into lie
but every story has a million sides
and this is only mine

the only one i ever wanted
the only one i ever wanted
the only one i ever wanted
you’re the only one

and oh the horror when you find
that after all this time
you’ve been fighting for the wrong side

the only one i ever wanted
the only one i ever wanted
the only one i ever wanted
you’re the only one

the boy with no hands
the boy with no mouth
staring at the 7 sisters
declination: figure it out

its all that i can do
connecting dots of blue
after the fireside
when i’m in bed with you

here i am
drinking tea on the moon
counting backwards
dreaming of you
girl you know that you’re driving me crazy
but that glow is nothing short of amazing

the girl with 2 hearts
sultry xanex eyes
sailing through the pleiades
right ascension 3:45

here i am
drinking tea on the moon
counting backwards
dreaming of you
girl you know that you’re driving me crazy
but that glow is nothing short of amazing

and it’s so informative
what your lips have got to give
but you’ve got to jettison… something

it’s so informative
what your lips have got to give
but you’ve got to jettison… someone

here i am
drinking tea on the moon
counting backwards
dreaming of you
girl you know that you’re driving me crazy
but that glow is nothing short of amazing

here i am
drinking tea on the moon
counting backwards
dreaming of you
girl you know that you’re driving me crazy
but that glow is nothing short of amazing

molly molly make love to me
beside the rinds in the sangria machine
we’ll do the two-stroke til the sky is red and green

molly molly make love to me
beneath the stars in the sangria machine
we’ll rock and roll until the galaxy is free

my grandpa worked just east of the buzy bee
at Damen, North, and Milwaukee
sorting souls with his bare hands using red cherries
oranges of orange, lemons yellow, and limes of green
matching up souls with destinies

molly molly make love to me
beneath the stars in the sangria machine
we’ll rock and roll until the galaxy is free

oh babe you’re the queen of the damned
and I’m your man- and fortuitously not
just cause the factors of ten
never left us a slot
but in a world of strings you know
the squares can get out of hand
so we’re ditching 12 for love in lunar land

molly molly make love to me
beneath the stars in the sangria machine
we’ll rock and roll until the galaxy is free

oh babe you’re the queen of the damned
and I’m your man
slingshot like a police cop on 21st and Grand
my grandpa was felled by a dentist drill in 1973
but not a day before
the solemn grounds in his coffee cup decreed

molly molly make love to me
beside the rinds in the sangria machine
we’ll do the two-stroke til the sky is red and green

molly molly make love to me
beneath the stars in the sangria machine
we’ll rock and roll until the galaxy is free

can you ever sing a simple song she intimated to me
give me for once simple circumstances and maybe we’ll see

but it’s not the world that’s falling
you’re falling away
it’s not the world

for some blokes words fall like rain
but for me it’s not the same

through box-kite windows you can spy
the boy with the microscope eyes
and he’s trying to dream of a soft world

and sleep becomes the only way
to forget about the function
and sleep becomes the only way
to focus on the wave

for some blokes words fall like rain
until the falling tune sounds like the best
and then the violence starts again

from the edge I pull back
I turn and hear bulldozers
but I’m still looking at you
my American woman
and these patriot kisses
long and deep like lies
but I’m still looking at you…
am I American?

we could only get so far
through the glacial snows
our windshield wipers fell apart
quite some time ago

we kept fixing what kept breaking
but soon fell far behind
out of phase with beauty
cancellation blind

back in the day
you were the patron saint of AM radio
the tundra’s only source for real rock and roll
but then you decided to go
go.

we could only get so far
and it’s nobody’s fault but my own
tried to jackhammer to open a soft shell
and as soon as the double standards started to flow
the phone got thrown
and as soon as the midnight sun rose
saw me cracked and you alone

back in the day
you were the smoothest jock on KSNO
the tundra’s only source for real rock and roll
you left me because you needed to grow.

now I’m the scaredest of the scared
and I’m the coldest of the cold
straining through the static
on this cheap old radio
now you found another man
whose charm it made your belly grow
a whole new world of sizes
still the story goes

and now in the wee hours
if you listen across the snow
you can hear the distant crying
of a baby eskimo
a baby eskimo

you were scoundrel number one
and i hated you
nailed down in early life
you live you learn to sacrifice

but in flames you already lived
finding innocents
to do your dirty work for you
you had chances but no choices

nobody goes to hell
nobody goes to hell

you were scoundrel number one
but i loved you still
because the day you cried
i saw the little boy inside

well the shell tough as hell to protect you
it crushed you in the end
i’m trying to cull some lesson
i’m trying to find the friend

nobody goes to hell
(if it were anybody it’d be you)
nobody goes to hell

remember the girl that you dragged down
when you almost drowned?
well she’s probably not pissed anymore
cause she’s not here anymore

nobody goes to hell
(if it were anybody it’d be you)
nobody goes to hel

it was absolutely treacherous
missing you by days
we were playing cat and mouse
in the most cosmic of ways

i almost got busted
for the drugs inside the sound
but your necklace with the shapes
was all they ever found

darjeeling- it’s not too tough to see
we’ve been spiralling towards each other
since the dawn of history
darjeeling

through all this space
through all this time
alive
through all these lives

after the inquisition
i was sure that you skipped town
but your apple in the starwood lounge
let me know you were around

gabriel was blowing hard
and the horsemen galloped loud
so we dusted off the locusts
and took off for the clouds

darjeeling- it’s not too tough to see
we’ve been spiralling towards each other
since the dawn of history
darjeeling

if you want to play a different game
well, then that’s the one we’ll choose- you’ll see
cause you’ve got the craft
and I got the keys

darjeeling- it’s not too tough to see
we’ve been spiralling towards each other
since the dawn of history
darjeeling

darjeeling- it’s not too tough to see
we’ve been spiralling towards each other
since the dawn of history
darjeeling

im dreaming deep again
of beethoven’s sweetest wren
when i’m underwing the traffic melts outside

i’m trying to free myself
put this obsession on the shelf
i’m a little concerned about my mental health…

if i gushed and told you everything
would you stand up run like hell and hide from me?
it’s just these fears that i’ve got- realistic or not
they paralyze the heart of me, i know
go slow, i know, i know

wonderous normandie doll
i’m fixing tea to make you call
but that old black magic
doesn’t work at all

stare at you for an hour and a half
just have to swear to make you laugh
but you’re disappearing and not coming back anymore

if i gushed and told you everything
would you stand up run like hell and hide from me?
it’s just these fears that i’ve got- realistic or not
they paralyze the heart of me, i know
it’s a sad song but that’s how it goes

yellow fog is lifting
and we’re mellow waltzing
to the trash on the radio
and i’m fevered willing
i can feel you twisting
cascading through my code

if i gushed and told you everything
would you stand up run like hell and hide from me?
it’s just these fears that i’ve got- realistic or not
they paralyze the heart of me
i know…. go slow… i know i know

you put me under
diamonds in an arc above your eye
my soaking brow and the shortness of my breath betray me
revealing to the world I’m hypnotised

you put me under the gun
maybe it’s the sacred heart upon your chest
or my empty hands- the narcosis from this some of nothing
slipping me through to the other side

meet me on Mandlebrot street
where white stars caress the blue of morning time
meet me at destiny’s feet
the marble gods will watch us longingly

you put me under
your silhouette behind a silver jet
you’re taking off
and the wash of this new crush wake me
deliver me to futuretime…
and deliver me to futuretime…
