If you say to me “let’s make a family”
Then would it be just you and me -
Or what?
do you want the world to see…
You are a natural force
I’ve never met a case like yours
Took me by surprise of course
Never met a case like yours
Gazing at you from this view
It might not be clear to you,
But yes I can guess who
will be the one to turn you on…
Of all the scientists and masters of professions,
This is my highest and most honest of confessions
You are a natural force
I’ve never met a case like yours
Took me by surprise of course
Never met a case like yours
I must admit
You are a natural force
I’ve never met a case like yours
Took me by surprise of course
I’ve never met a case
I’ve never met a face
I’ve never met a case like yours

Tie Mao to Mined

trapped in the house again
bold as a mouse in an observatory
it’s easy to see I’m whipped cream in a can
a flash in the pan
rehearsing my lines
for the deafening youth
and their convictionless crimes
it’s time
time out of mind
a mind you can trick
into confinement
bored off the chore wheel,
an orgy of ordeal
the sanitary host Is dealing vaccines to ghosts
and I’m leaving my guests alone
to froth at the bone and pick at my throne
rehearsing my lines
for the sedimentary age
and its compostable spines
it’s time
time out of mind
a mind you can trick
into consignment
man made borders
and seams
closer he seems to his home
awkward-bound handshake
fist-bumping birthquake
the city’s asleep in pajamas
safekeeping its private property
publicly spade
rehearsing my lines
for the armchair resistance
so tune in and listen!
(it’s time) time out of mind
a mind you can trick into alignment
man made borders and seems closer
he seems to his home

California's Melting

California’s melting, baby ain’t it sad?
Tried to warn us if we can’t change a little
It’ll get bad
Flash a look at any county
A matchbook strikes our bounty
Every summer, spring and fall
Instead of viewing the fact,
You wanna bbq and distract
Your self from your part in it all
But honey, I’m sure you did all that you
California’s melting, baby ain’t it sad?
Now it’s going up in blazes, it’s getting bad
Don’t wanna talk about it,
The earth is getting crowded
That’s the crime now we’re doing the time
It’s over four million acres
There’s no place that’s sacred
This fire will put your head in the sand
It’s the american way to simply reason away
‘til there’s nowhere left to stand
But honey, oh I’m sure, you did all that you can
California’s melting, baby ain’t it sad?
Mother earth tried & tried to warn us
But we’re acting like a drunken dad
California’s melting, baby ain’t it sad?
California’s melting, baby!
(baby ain’t it sad?)
California’s melting, baby don’t you give a damn?
Oh wait, I see your instagram…
(baby ain’t it sad?)

Scowl

scowl, I go howl at the moon
shake my jowls at the earth
I can scowl if i want
it’s been my right since birth
scour your face for a glimpse of the tide
out of the dark, and into the light…
scowl, I go howl at the moon
shake my jowls at the earth
I can scowl if i want
it’s been my right since birth
scour your face for a glimpse of the tide
if you think it could help, and i think that it might…
scowl - it’s a powerful tune of the universe
something to blunt the dull captives of earth
open my blade, make it my knife
cut up a path to start a new life
Howl, my baby blue...
