annot seem to change
In the arms of a river or
In the arms of a woman
Or the moon
I won't behave
Why can't the channel change?
In my heart lay a parenting flower that will bloom
My belly's yellow
You don't look up but make it up
You make it up
You make it up until you know there's nothing left to make up
I cannot seem to breathe
In this hallway near a river or
Up late alone
You make it up

Tuesday without her has not been bad
A blue fish swims into the glass and he won't let up even if he can
Tar and feather my dreams in ice and keep them safe from me.
If your plane sees a white ukulele
Won't you wave to me and have a good time in Hawaii
Sleep will blossom singing bears
That will shed in rhythm everywhere
On the roof of a hat you'll find me out
In the cold confetti, falling down
All these thoughts I have of you
Must be written down and used when you go to Hawaii
Summer will rescue winter this time
The trees will go crying petals again
And we'll both know how they'll land
And then sleep will blossom singing bears
That will shed in rhythm everywhere
All these thoughts I have of you
Must be written down and used in some way or another
When you go to Hawaii

Give Em the Bird
Give Em the Bird
Forget what you've heard
Give Em the Bird
Predicting the lightening
The cosmic soup has been stirred
Don't swallow your words
Give Em the Bird
Why live a life keeping it light
When all you say is what's preferred
Put down your weaponized words
You've gotta Give Em the Bird
Deep ocean blue horizons for me and you
It gets brighter everyday
Yet somehow darker too
When it's occurred
After all we've endured
Revolutions don't need to be assured
Put down your weaponized words
And Give Em the Bird
Give Em the Bird
Give Em the Bird
Give Em the Bird

Love in the time of Corona is a wicked rotten way to go
For all those times I was saying yes
Now I'm saying No no no
My heart's gone delirious since the clock hands slowed
So I sit around and bitch and moan
Of a Corona love tale to be told
I'm stuck, I can't escape
I'm in no shape
For a date
In this apocalyptic global state
She's f-ing really great but
I'm afraid that for me it's too late
It snuck up on me like a curse
It's gotten better but I think it's getting worse
The fascination's unrehearsed
Think I'll go die in the desert of thirst
Quarantine's fun when you know someone
To talk to
Young or old
Don't just sit around and bitch and moan
Of your Corona love tale to be told
I won't sit around and bitch and moan
Of a Corona love tale to be told

You have the key to a dimensional gateway
That appears from thin air
In the forest or the mountaintops
Teleportation molecules separating apart
Particles reconstituting
Everywhere
Floating through the air
And whaddaya know people they're all mostly there
Enjoy the dimensional gateway
I'll be taking the long way today, I say

You get up in the morning and you shave your face
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
Dress up prim and proper to a particular place
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
Must've been saying something
Before I stopped saying it before
Whatever it was that something
I won't be saying it no more
The downside's up if you stare straight ahead
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
"What would a self respecting person do?" is what She said
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
I work so hard to expect nothing
It's the kind of life I can live with
The only thing the sun can do
Is cook my dreams into a puddle of cosmic myth
Money don't matter if there's contentment to scatter
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
You exercise daily but you keep getting fatter
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
I don't mean the physical weight
I'm talking about the glutton hamster-wheel'd rat race
A good soldier knows their place
But the best of all can save their face
A working class hero is not something to be
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
Leave yourself more to give what is free
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
No no yeah, Yeah no no
Yeah no yeah no yeahhhh
No no no no no no no
Please noooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I almost I thought I knew you when
But that was before we were friends
The dream erodes my retinas, I wished them well
Should they be stuck in that dream? I can't tell
Living in a virtual reality
Is what I've been up to
Seems to me
Whenever the real reality turns its wheel again
I'll still have my hand open to extend
I don't want to change you or possess you
Don't wish to take away what makes you You
You are you as I am me so well
I don't think that loving someone is wrong
But I'm living in a virtual reality
Ask your pardon if I don't know what's real really
When so-called reality turns the heads again
I may not want to realize I'm playing pretend
Communication breakdown is always a waste
If you open up an oven you might get fire in your face
My head is ringing like a church tower bell
The clock has the time but hasn't much to tell
We're all living in a virtual reality
In a land of foolish martyrs, fancy free
Has the real reality played a cosmic joke on me?
There's nothing so convenient as the sea
Such an exceptional fascinating person to me
