Fallen Crown

Fallen crown
I've fallen down
Callin' round the sky
But headed for the ground

Hey baby I'm a billionaire, woo!
She said 'I've got everything I need'
Wow you look so pretty
??? [1:21]
Now leave me alone
I've got a Jag

Your broken cane
Don't know what to sing
Cling to my throne no low [2:07]
By a piece of string

Hey baby I'm a billionaire
She said 'I've got everything I need'
Wow you look so pretty
??? [2:30]

Hey baby come with me to the virgin lounge, mmmm!
She says 'no I'm not falling today'
Wow you look so pretty
??? [2:52]
Now leave me alone
I've got a
I've got a
I've got a Jag

 

The Fatal Hour

The fatal hour still sour in its cape
And fools come out to promenade around the holiday
And every silver son of a bitch keeps falling down
Under my head, over the town

And then the snakes speak
Said I wish I had a leg to break
And all of the crowd
Could appreciate their cake

For every one golden god
There are one billion lumps of clay
I'm back in the dirt
Well have a nice day

 

Thylacine

Although I saw you once
On a piece of film
It was grainy and dark

Well I'm sorry señor
But there ain't no more
Thylacine today
Somebody came and took them all away

If you walk in the night
If you growl in your sleep
You want to howl out at the moon

Well I'm sorry my dear
But don't look here
You're Thylacine today
Somebody came and took them all away

Still I wonder where you are tonight

She could open her mouth
A thousand feet wide
On a piece of film

Well I'm sorry I'm sure
But there ain't no more
Thylacine today
Somebody came and took them all away

Still I wonder where you are tonight

Yeah, I was walking along
And I saw you from my Thylacine
I'm searching here I'm searching there
Ah, I was searching everywhere
I saw this woman and I said
'Excuse me, have you seen my Thylacine anywhere
I put a poster up on the wall with my phone number'
She said 'Oh, man you're so out of luck
They're as extinct as all fuck'

 

Tears At The End Of The World

Tears at the end of the world
Fill all of your [0:28], take all of it
I'm alone down the hall

Smile at the end of the day
Say everything, mean anything
Give nothing away

 

Ophelia Without Wine

Ophelia without wine
You've been on my mind
I'm crying for you baby night and day

Ophelia without wine
I bet you look so fine
I'm dying for that chance to come my way

Who can love
Where you gone?
All those night
All those men
All go

Juliet without the thirst
Our fortunes are reversed
I'm crying for you baby night and day

Who can see
Eterity
All those year
All those eye
All go

Who can say
While you stay
All those time
All those world
All go

Christina with the snowfall
I miss her something awful
I'm crying for you baby night and day

Christina with her sleet and ice
Oh baby you're so nice
I'm dying for that chance to come my way

My mistress was a whore
I taught that bird to talk
I'm crying for you baby night and day
Crying for you baby night and day

 

Scattered Coins

Scattered coins in the dust
Nothing left from the life of the lust of the evening
Everybody gotta find their own way
Everybody better mind their own business today

Coins that you left
Are better than friends until you spend them
The only currency you take is faith babe

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, haaa

Someone told me someone I knew
How they saw you on the avenue one fine evening
Everybody better work it all out
Everybody better sort it all out or I'm leaving

Coins that you left
Are better than friends until you spend them
The only currency you take is faith babe

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, haaa

You get stuck in again
Why are you here
When you get stuck in again
I say why are you here
You get stuck in again
I say why are you here

 

Stay Where You Are

Stay where you are
Said the man in the car
And the traffic light hollered in green
And the horns blaring
And the thorns tearing
Who can be finally free

Stay where you are
Said the earth to the star
And the universe was a sea
With it's life cracking
And soul wrenching
Can now be finally free
Can now be finally free

Stay where you are
Why don't you stay
Stay where you are
It's joyful fools' [1:09] day

Day after day
Then night after night
My remorse plots a course
But I'm doing alright

The life turning
And love burning
Can now be finally free
Can now be finally free

Stay where you are
Why don't you stay
Stay where you are
It's joyful fools' [1:48] day

Stay where you are
Why don't you stay
Stay where you are
It's joyful fools' [2:44] day

 

Heart Is Heavy

Heart is heavy
Moon is full
Can't you feel it, baby
In my pull

What you sellin'
What you got
Heart is heavy
In my school
I can see
Why I
Heart is heavy

Heart is heavy
The mind is soft
All those ideals
You hold aloft

You walk the line
And play the ??? [1:42]
But there's a heaviness
In my heart
Heart is heavy
Heart is heavy

Heart is heavy
Heart is heavy
Oh yeah

 

Lady Ishtar In Her Garden

Lady Ishtar in her garden
With the snakes and cats
With her sandals on

Well the flowers bloom so sweet this evening
Stars spin on
On into the night

And she takes the ripest fruit there is
For her supper
Ethiopian wine

We have journeyed through a desert
It was hot, it was black
It has spirits there

Now she lays upon the soft grass
In moon silver rays
As she dreams of me

But I am lost within myself
In my father's house
Where the horses grazed

Oh my goddess in the darkness
With her softest touch
With the softest touch
With her grace and heat

I have traveled by a river
There were crocodiles
And the silver flash

Lady Ishtar in her garden listen to me
You are everything
You are everything

Lady Ishtar in her garden listen to me
You are everything
You are everything

Lady Ishtar in her garden listen to me
You are everything
You are everything

Broken Toys

Sitting here with the seaweed and a cold beer
Nearly at the end of the pier, just here
And it appears to manifest as a white day
Gone awry, gone astray, ok

Broken toys expect delays
Someone says our life's a maze
Which time destroys
Sunken mornings turn to days
Drunk on all the grief and joys
Of broken toys

Coming home with just a shilling in my pocket
Saw the door but there's no way to unlock it
I'm gonna hit it

Broken toys on crooked shelves
Doing badly acted versions of ourselves
Spoken words into the void
Woke up all the girls and boys
With their broken toys
Falling snowflake in your hair
There with all the grace and poise
Of broken toys

 

Lost At Sea

I'm just a guy holding the pen
But this fair city brings down this song
That I'm singing to you

And all I am is just a pair of eyes
The whole world is watching through me
Trying to get to me

There's a voyage into solitude
There's no escape from ourself
Sell they [0:58] everyday you're not dislocated
Or amalgamated into the past

Jazz my stolen heart
Cold and golden
Hold my stars in your hand

I'm just a fool under a stupid moon
But this river rushes onwards
Into the dawn

I'm just a voice you hear sometimes when you're contemplating
After you're gone
Before you were born

When you're lost at sea
And all alone
When you're wandering in a no-man's land

Thank the universe
You know things, it could be worse
Should pray to god understand

Jazz my stolen heart
Cold and golden
Hold my star in your hand

When you're
When you're
Lost at sea
