Bee-Sides - The Lyrics [Part One]

Alamo

embarcadero, figures you'll see me as older
twenty-three hours til the border
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
fast as I came
fast as I came

the tears on my pillow, of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a play
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances

Alamo
wish I could do what God does
heard that the stars were in order
got yourself dealt a hand
with two queen of spades
and blues on the way
blues on the way

tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a play
somebody just
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances

To the Top.

Black Swan

Gumdrops and saturdays
did Eric call, by the way
he knew, he knew
and he knew where the pillow goes

Ride on, ride on
friends of the black swan
ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone

Buttercups and fishing flies
the biggest thickest ever sky
I know they know something I know

Ride on, ride on now
friends of the black swan
ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone

Little green men do ok,
it's the fairies revenge they say
and gumdrops and saturdays
did Eric call by the way

Ride on, ride on
friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
do you know where she's gone

ride on
ride on
ride on

To the Top.

Blue Skies

yeah he-ah he-ah he-ah
those blue skies are ahead
blue skies in my head

All the town clocks
and marching soldiers (socks?)
i say let's go let's go let's go
to this magic wonder show

and i`m walking and
crawling and

so tired i'm insane
so tour-on and sing

High high eye I
High eye I see

Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead

Said blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead

Beach wood
says he`d like you-in-the-street
Said like you-in-the-street
in the lullabies

Just when she thinks it`s
like-you-in-the-street
Said like-you-in-the-street
in the lullabies

You can go just where she`s going

Blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead

said blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead

Blue skies
Blue skies are up ahead

To the Top.

Butterfly

Daddy dear, if I can kill one man why not two?
well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
you can't stain their pretty shoes
and pompoms and cherry blondes
and their kittens still wrapped in cement
from God's saviors to gumdrops
got me running girl as fast as I can and
is it right Butterfly
they like you better framed and dried

got a pretty pretty garden
pretty garden, yes
got me a pretty pretty garden
a pretty garden, yes
got me a pretty pretty garden
a pretty garden

To the Top.

Cooling

So then i thought I'd make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead

And Piggy got a message for me
from Jesus
And I heard every word that she was saying

And I know I have been
driven like the snow

This is cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can

So then I tried to make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
This ocean is wrapped around that pinapple tree

And is your place in heaven Worth giving up these kisses
These kisses
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she had said

And I know I have been
driven like the snow

This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can

Yes, this is cooling
This is cooling

To the Top.

Daisy dead Petals

Daisy dead petals, that is her name
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
she said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here

Dancing on a dime
hearing mother cry
maybe she's a-round the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
on my back with
on my back with some dirty dishes

Falling down, falling down
all over the river
falling down, falling down, falling down
wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
falling down, falling down, falling down

And since we're down might as well stay
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
she's a new friend not a skeleton
to ride into town knowing what they'll say
knowing she tastes like a hamburger made but
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
said these dead petals, honey, brought me here

To the Top.

Flying Dutchman

what will you do with your life
oh, that's all you hear from noon till night

Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight

Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman

Straight suits, they don't understand
she tried that one with the alligator boots
but the other side drew her in

heart falling fast when she left
even the milky way was dressed in black

Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight

Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman

'cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can't see me
they can't be what they can't believe
they can't see what you see

They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
tie him up and so he won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
so afraid he'll be what they never were

Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight

Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman

'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
are you still out there?

They can't feel me	They can't see What I've found out	They can't see They can't see You know You know You know You're jumping from a high jump
Are you still Out there? 'Cause they can't see	They can't see I just move this Mountain	Hide your love Hide your lov So many know you know But them, oh they can't see

(Three lyric parts put together so to speak =)

Frog On My Toe

and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still

slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
you paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree

now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
in funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl
you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all

you're my poppy's baby

Gary's Girl

Graveyard

Here.In my head

So maybe Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said, and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you

There you are here in my head
and running around and calling me
come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again
and you know that apple green ice cream
can melt in your hands I can't
so I, I held your hand at the fair
and even forgot what time it was

and even Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you

and me here alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers as the bells toll
you see the bow and the belt
and the girl from the south
all favorites of mine, you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles
that makes it all clear makes it all...

HEY
do you know?
Hey
Do you know
What this is doing to me?
Ooh here
Here
Here
Here in my head

To the Top.

Honey

You're just to used to my honey now
you're just to used to my honey

And I think I could leave your world
if she was the better girl
so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
cause I'm not sure
what you're doin or the reasons why

You're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey

Don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
don't bother coming down
you always like your babies tight

Turn back one last time
love to watch those cowboys ride
but cowboys know cowgirls ride
on the Indian side

And you know what you're doing
so don't even

Home On The Range (Cherokee Edition)

Home, home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day

Well Jackson made deals
a thief down to his heels
had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide Cherokee bride
her brave was shot yesterday

Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day

Mmm, We know it's not Caroline
your home is your home
the range may be fine
for some but not in my eyes

Home on the range
the Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride but in her eyes
we know it's not Caroline

yeah, America
hey, America
oh, who discovered your ass?

The white man came
"This land is MY Land
this is your land" they sang

Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day

To the Top.
