Make Big Waves

you do something
to me i can't
quite explain & i should not
be afraid & i should not be ashamed but
that night on the fire escape
i thought we was
making some kind of horrible mistake
& then you leaned in for the kill
it was the sake of the thrill
& you & I, oh.
& I knew I knew you
I knew I knew you
I knew you knew
I was gnawing at the truth
gnawing at the truth for you
sometimes I get a little bit afraid of
things like this that can make big waves
because I like my life
on my boat
on this lake
& I do not like to take
chances
you do something
to me i can't
quite explain & i should not
be afraid & i should not be ashamed but
that night on the fire escape
i thought we was
making some kind of horrible mistake
& then you leaned in for the kill
it was the sake of the thrill
& you & I, oh.
every now & then things are new
& every time I do
something like follow the deep in my gut
I always end up getting
some kind of fucked
& i'm not really sure
if you know what i mean
but we will see if you
& I knew I knew you
I knew I knew you
I knew you knew
I was gnawing at the truth
gnawing at the truth for you

All You Boys

|

I've built us some train tracks
all over this country
I hope that you go
& speed to come find me
our tongues start the touchin
as we start the talkin'
but i'm always the one
to do all the askin'
hoorah
all you boys
are such a mystery
with all of your
concrete simplicity
now what would you do
if you had me alone
would you speak to me
softly in a sweet undertone
or would you push me up
oh, against the wall
hold me up with your weight
my legs wrapped
around you
like lace
as we hoorah

Wolves & Wild Eyes
02:57
|
|||
I snuck out the back door
of your party
& as I did so I ripped
my jeans
& I crept quietly
through your back yard
& over your fence
as to avoid your friends
cause you would throw me
to the wolves & they would
eat me up & spit me out
all whiskey & whispered
& my wild eyes would fill
with tears
ooo's
I snuck out the back door
of your party
& as I did so I took off
my jeans
& I started running
& I jumped into the water
it was the best I felt
I started running
jumped into the water
it was the best I've felt
& I swam with wolves
as we ran with pride
& I swam with wolves
with my wild eyes
ooo's

& a man slept next to me
platonically
& we shared every which way
of our heart ache
& he said you are welcomed
in these heavy blanket sheets
I sleep in any day girl

I think it's gonna snow today

& we shared every which way
of our heart ache

& goose bumps we was
lookin over

& in this moment when things
are quiet & dark

Stormy Weather
03:14

I once found a man
who could do things to me that I like
to me that I like
I once found a man
& the boys on the block
said I was tellin lies
i once met a man
who said
he felt naked in my eyes
na-aked in my eyes
& when our thighs touch together
in stormy weather
I heard those girls talkin’ shit
& I heard those
church bells rinin’ in the distance
yea i’m from the block
& yeah I suck cock
yea i’m from the block
& yeah I suck
I once found a man
who could do things to me that I like
to me that I like
I once found a man
& when our thighs touch together
in stormy weather.

Boy Cried Wolf
02:50
|
|||
well a boy got up
in the night
they called him the sheep
he was wearing all white
& the boy called the wolves
& the people came out
they was trying to find
what this noise was about
but no wolves was around
so I wondered down the street
my feet were getting dirty
it was foolish of me
& I found the boy
He was covered in blood
I guess that pack of
dirty wolves
had finally showed up
& gave him his dues
& he finally got
what he had been
askin' for his whole life
well a boy got up
in the night
they called him the sheep
he was wearing all white
& the boy cried for the wolves

Snow Feather

|

do you think that
we should go
it is starting to snow
pretty bad
& the lake is freezing over
so the boats can't
go anything further
& your door is 5 steps away
& we are
we are alive
alive
alive
& your mind is a trap
where I bury my things
& i'll come back for them
later when you say
we're gettin married
& I guess i'll let you go
for the sake of the thrill
but I will chase after
you later
yes I will
yes I will
yes I will
& when I finally
get there
standing cold
at your door
will you take
all this phone cord
I have thrown at
your floor
& will you take
my
body
home
we are driving fast
really fast
really far
in a get away car
in a get away
get away

Be In Love
03:46
|
|||
[i hope you had a good night. ok. goodbye.]
yea, I like you
but could never
be in love
a strange wind
caught off gaurd
by the shape of
these sheets
& in that morning heat
you had your back
you had your back to me
asking for my body
to press against
your summer skin
we both knew the mess
we was layin in.
yea, I like you
but could never
be in love
Strange dreams
bring me back
to what I had with you
all the stories
about the boring beds
we lay in.
[i hope you had a good night. ok. goodbye.]
yea, I like you
but could never
be in love
with you
