Contre Le Sexisme lyrics

Describe the touch, no it's the thought
It's warm and yellow and has a ruffle
It's warm and yellow and...
He's so quiet I forgot he's there
And I think here I am.
"oh alice, come back he's just a kitten...
He's just a kitten"
A thousand leaves for your disguise fall on
The sky and looking up from down is a sea to
Realize the leaves are falling up and down
Up and round.

Sunday lyrics

Sunday comes alone again
A perfect day for a quiet friend
And you - you will set it free
I see new morning yound yr face
Everybody sez its another phase
And now - now its come to me
See the magic in yr eyes
I see it come as no surprise
And you - you turn yr eyes away
Yeah you - you turn it all away
I guess its true its never too late
Still I don't know what to do today

Female Mechanic Now on Duty lyrics

I wanna shut you down
Love yr. sight and sound
I wanna spin you round, till yr. underground
I wanna strip you down
Till you feel the round
I wanna feel your shine
I wanna waste some time
I wanna paint my face
Like a model out of place
Cause im supposed to dare
The machine will tear
I'll throw up sometime
And then you'll be mine
I wanna serve you down
While my mind is on the ground

Wildflower Soul lyrics

Sing yr children
Yr children song
Sing yr love child
Love is on
See thru child eyes
Eyes are old
And old is magic growing
See the child lights
Spinning gold
Everyday girl
They blow away
Leaves falling to the water
Wildflowers
For you today
Sing yr birthday
Yr birthday blues
Sing yr wild light
Wildflowers bloom
They will not forget you
And down/they go
To sleep/so slow

Hoarfrost lyrics

I put my feet deep in the tracks that you made
Walked behind you off into the wood
'We'll know where when we get there' you said
And we both knew we would
High above like a spider
The colors turning brown
Freeways passing by us
I took yr hand and we knelt down
Wheels paddle wheels paddle movement as we go
Trees passing trees passing signs along the road

French Tickler lyrics

Free time, free time
I have got it gonna get me some
Free time, free time
I would spend it forever captivated
Free time, free time
Would you tell me the secret of yr arm
Free time, free time
Forever fabulastic, blowup, pleasuristic
I feel combustible
That's my will say it all
Mille feuille
Mille feuille
Mille feuille
Now you better take a deep breath
The smell is just the best

Hits of Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg) lyrics

Today I
Said goodbye
To my conflicted goddess
Her lush eyes
Show surprise
At how we could gather knowledge
The painting has a dream
Where shadow breaks the scene
And the colors run off
Blue is bashful
Green is my goal
Yellow girls are running backwards
Until the nextime
With six hits of sunshine
The lights will blind up with blues in haiku
The shadow has a dream

Karen Coltrane lyrics

Karen's moving out
Out into the sky
Karen trips on a cloud
Sets down w stars in her eyes
She's alone in a room
She's deep inside of her mind
Karen's leaving for the snow
Somewhere to somewhere... blind
She cut the silver lining in my soul
I was tethered to her for a time
Are we still together?
Will she stay forever?
(will she stay?... beside...
Flashlight... Karen stay... etc.)

The Ineffable Me lyrics

Cant catch me
I'm syntax free
I'm preconceived
Preternaturally
I don't invest
In what is best
Your once and for all
Means shit to me
Hate translator
Hate translator
Hate translator
You can't catch me
Don't mistake her
Don't misshape her
You don't mutate her
You can't get me
The radical beacon
The preverbal season
The abstract poetics
Immediate treason
Do you remember

Snare, Girl lyrics

I'm here for you
Cant you see what im doin
I bring you news from the kingdom
Of disciples in ruin
Behold a child
Has just been born
Into a life
Of secrets sworn
Hold out yr hands
And take these palms ive been given
They are wild with beauty faded
And they can guide this child to heaven
So rest assured
And understand
How harvest eyes
Renew your land
Im here looking for you dear

Heather Angel lyrics

Never gonna ya do it
A world below
Heather angel you are somewhere
On the show
Don't you think you would find
Where to go
I want to go dancing on the other side
I want to buy a phonograph
But the money's gone
He bought books and records
I don't care about that
I just want to be alive
And go to the other...
I don't want money or books
Have to decide
Passive

Karen Revisited lyrics

Heard your name the other day
It's been a long, long time
Ancient history, some would say
Another state of mind
You smell of memory
Felt-tipped electric child
She takes a plastic pill
She plays the weatherman
She screams "Religion kills
More than it saves you, man"
She painted filigrees
She was the acid queen
She claims society
Is just a fever dream
