< elephant >

Darkness all around, I've never seen the light
Give me something to believe, my mind is open wide

Nothing is around, I help myself be blind
Is tomorrow just the same as yesterday

Can you stop the spinning the ends are fading out
I'll crash into the night when no one is around

Frozen Fingers breaking bread
The blind leading the bonded
Turn your back to the mirror
And find your children digging graves

Hope is just behind door two, walk down the hall
Black sits calmly down and waits for you to come around

(A. Wilson)

 

< ephemera >

Sometimes you shimmer
Sometimes you shine
Through these clouds
In my minds Eye

Where do you go, Where do you stay
When you go away...
I'd love to be there

What should I do,
What should i say to you...
When I see you...

My lovely stranger
Beautiful like the sun rays
My lovely stranger
Beautiful like the rain falling on my head

Sometimes we sparkle
Sometimes we gleam
and it's those times
when we start to see ourselves

When I spyed those eyes
When I spyed that face
When I hear her voice it sounds like angels
When I see it everything goes away...

My love is stranger
Sometimes I try... I try... I try...

(J. Hensley)

 

< the ghost of 11:07 > 

There are ghosts in the world you know,
ghosts everywhere
They creep in your attic
and smoke on your stairs

There are ghosts who are people
and ghosts who throw stones
You are the ghost of Mary Rowlandson
The ghost of my childhood home

At first I was entirely under your spell
But now that I realize, I can see it so well

You could tell when I lied and that gave you your power
You could tell when I lied, am I lying right now?

You Haunted my childhood
You made me a freak
And I know that God chose you
to clip off my wings
but...

(The Ghost of Mary Rowlandson:)
Bring home some sin
When you sail home from London
No one will see
Just bring it to me

You must really think that you are something great
To judge other people in ignorant hate

Damn you, you self-righteous prude
I needed you to need me when i needed you

Loving You, I was a pillar of salt
With a face like a matriarch...
it seems to me...
you've made a life....
of throwing the first stone.

(B. Floerke)

 

< icarus eyes >

 That beautiful face, lost its sacred place
Moonlit eyes, without long good-byes...
I wanted you to fade bye...
I wanted you to swirl away.

and maybe your wings will melt
and you'll fall down in my arms
and maybe your wings will break
and you'll fall down from you skies

You appeared as an angel
Swooped on down from your heavens
Said a few nice things
Sailed off with melting wings

I watched you fade bye...
I watched you swirl away...
Fall and see...

(J. Hensley)

 

< last leviathan of the shady seas >

Take me to another place, So that I can change
Show me that scene again, Let it always stay
Dying here slowly, Choking on Icy waves
Broken down Holy, a thousand different ways

Hit rewind. Play that scene again
Hit rewind. Never change again
Hit rewind....

"Your eyes are shadows, Can almost hear you breathe"
Wondering and Wandering, What's that you're whispering?
"Who's He... Who's There
Who's They... Who cares???"

Hit rewind. Play that scene again
Hit rewind. Strangely new again
Hit rewind. Goodbye

(J. Hensley)

 

< lullabies >

Hey you... You look at little tired
We'll see you again tomorrow.
It's cool... Everything is alright
There is no room here for sorrow.

 

Close your eyes. Listen to these Lullabies
Tomorrow will be here soon....

Hey you... You look at little sleppy
Let your worries fade away.
It's true... dreams are worth keeping
So forget this place it's ok!

Close your eyes. Listen to these Lullabies
Tomorrow will be here soon... so soon.

(J. Hensley)

< paradox >

Two scarlet beeds of light
The heavens in your touch

your face, your soul...
thinking about you

The world goes round your eyes
In your sphretza-tura pose

The horses in your legs
Dance you around and you're so cool

(B. Floerke)

 

< recycle >

Can I borrow an echo...
Can I borrow a mirror...
Can I borrow your teeth when you're through?

Xerox conversations...Ditto replies...
With my eyes glued to the glamorous glow
And a posture pasted to polite perfection

if i could smile like you
if i could buy like you
if i could die like you
if i could be an actor like you...

Yeah here is your drug,
here is your number
Here's your money to make a voice

Drapery of choice...Window paynes still cracked
The alarm clock sings in a far to familiar voice
Somehow I pull myself up again... and again.

if i could smile like you
if i could buy like you
if i could die like you
if i could be an actor like you...
on your screen tonight!

(J. Hensley)

 

<static bleu >

Hold me baby, I'm your baby
Hold me closer than light on skin
She says to me "don't change ever"
But as she speaks her words affect me

and I change
Isn't it strange
That I should change

When it changes just a little
I'm caught right in the middle
Of an especially embarassing lie
But that is what happens when angels die

I thought you'd always be my baby
But you cut me off with fresh washed hands
But I forgot to tell you something
I forgot to tell you this...

I've changed

(B. Floerke)

 

< thread >

One-Hundred ways to find out
One-Hundred ways to let me go
One-Hundred ways to cry out

"Lock up the house and come to bed"
I would rather watch TV instead
"Come and lay down next to me"
I would rather read

But I must have heard you wrong
Or maybe I'm not that strong
Now I'm hanging on by a thread
Because you couldn't wait so long

She'd never wait so long
she don't know
she don't care
when she steps upon an ant
she used to

she tried to
see me bigger than an ant

I can't blame anyone but me
It was not the fault of grocery stores or TV's
I couldn't see until it was too late
Letting me know in one-hundred ways

(B. Floerke, J. Hensley)

 

< voyage >

I went to the moon to find you
I met a Martian
I met a man who lived in the darkest crater
They knew your face
They hated me
They knew your face
They laughed at me....

I went to the darkest Universe
Because I know, "I'll never make it there"
And my calculations show me
That's where you live
That's where you hide
That's where you dwell...

Far Away, How Far
Far Away, How Far
Far Away, Are you right behind me?

(J. Hensley)
