1.
Flying nightly can hurt the liver Sleep oh be my window-giver Whinnying in a stream of carbon chorus Every dream is obscene in service Pulling candy from your cervix Steadily to your knees and screaming Come back to life now Street shouts at carnival More like a chronicle More like a chronicle than like a calling up Every winter will be forgiven Every fall by rakes be driven Spring will bring to me softer lists of helium efforts Soft in summer fern hills are greening Wake up, son, you must be dreaming In the mercy of means as streaming sabbaths ring slowly Street shouts at carnival More like a chronicle More like a chronicle than like a calling up
2.
I dream of hilltops and oceans Pelican poses Cities in love with psychosis I glean from cool, comfy study Blown leaves and bone-baking shimmer Spring or the winter I need your brightened border To come back back and nudge me forward Come back nudge me forward if you want to You know I could use it if you don't
3.
I am the bluebird of mountain You are the blues in the fountain Bored by beacons before you had your reasons, You were fortified by things you'd seen before I knew In the same way the bright lights shine around you Oh, the intrigue-free sentries swim sly in what we threw It's been a long time since the savage fields first found you, Since the winter streets had gladly shown us to our knees I'd like to be in a bunker fun and friendly Where the savages do preach but with pens and palindromes Come home I am the bluebird of mountain You are the blues in the fountain

Aşkım 02:22
Your blinding firmness bothers this furnace It's tampering with words And dampening this dervish Split spheres from you, your caravan bluebirds are Patterning up new quirk, flattering with few verbs Distance may freeze frames, aşkım Oh but it won't have me Because it won't be like home So it can't have me On a prosaic loan Oh, aşkım Seni seviyorum Distance may freeze frames, aşkım Oh but it won't have me Because it won't be like home So it can't have me On a prosaic loan Smiling mandates glisten like handshakes As you are choked yet yawning Whispering and fawning Your tongue so Turkish, whispering firmness, "If love predates this longing, Which new age is dawning?" Distance may freeze frames, aşkım Oh but it won't have me Because it won't be like home So it can't have me On a prosaic loan Aşkım

She'd teach my head home, sleep like loam Heaven will my head hone, sleep like home Heaven will mind my daylight Oh daylight, oh day come chrome Fill gently my room, aşkım Wait with undone, spun loom, aşkım Heaven will mind my daylight Oh daylight, oh day come chrome She'd teach my head home, sleep like loam Heaven will mind my daylight Oh daylight, oh day come chrome Seni seviyorum, aşkım Heaven will mind my daylight Oh daylight, oh day come chrome Seni seviyorum, aşkım Heaven will mind my daylight Oh daylight, oh day come chrome

Critters 02:19
El alma que yo tocaba, si era enorme, no era corporal El alma que yo tocaba, si era enorme, no era corporal El cielo que me lo daba es lo que se esconde, come lo corporal El alma que yo tocaba, si era enorme, no era corporal Tout le monde seeks pretty things Airbrushing bee stings and flesh overalls All the world is bonefish and Airbrushing bee stings and flesh overalls

I heard they'll say in many days All we made was love and read the papers On our balconies Made pretty things, and what's more We tore in paper pirouettes in our oxford pairs Torn and sliced for to lead ascetic, stacked-shrine sandal life Fear spills dividends while dear friends are pears on purple limbs Daylight bright begins, Evidence that my dear friends are pears on purple limbs The fleeting haze, reforming wave Came today and as a wrinkled tonic must It's blown away as ether plays And what's more it's torn in paper pirouettes In our oxford pairs, born but twice For to lead ascetic, stacked-shrine sandal life Fear spills dividends while dear friends are pears on purple limbs Daylight bright begins, Evidence that my dear friends are pears on purple limbs
9.
Noonday treads on shreds of moonlight The black and white movie with it's back to me Streetlight begs thee, come inspect me Come hold me tightly like weeds on ripe ivy The ground forgave the floor tiles and all And backs forget the fore, ground and all And the rest is dressing And the rest is dressing And the rest is dressing
10.
Scared green in a new scene, you'll be back before dawn Before you get envy, get manuscript pawns New days come like past strains gone, mais nous le somme Parce que nous le somme Before you get envy know nous le somme I'm so sorry, mono-no-aware Woke up dancing to cardboard music There was light like lime and only Bach shone through it When you're up 'til dawn and so resigned albeit Tell your narratives about the meta prefix Tell them I'm so sorry, mono-no-aware Oh oh, oh oh, figura Oh oh, oh oh, figura Why so afraid of the center where we wait On your prophet-parade I'm so sorry, mono-no-aware
