Hear ye, hear ye
Aldebaran is rising
And my language is slipping
Mud creek is boiling
My baby loves me
My baby needs me
Hear ye, hear ye
Aldebaran is rising
And my language is slipping
Mud creek is boiling
My baby loves me
My baby needs me
If my birth pains have taught me anything (its) that my sapling breasts are filled with honey
How can a baby beget a baby
How can a child forget they are wild
If my birth pains have taught me anything, that my sapling breasts are filled with honey
How can you hold on to something when it’s done
Hold on hold on

Mountains and valleys
Away from you
I will be back
Years and months gone away
I’m still thinking of you
I will be back
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Mountains and valleys
Away from you
I will be back
Years and months gone away
I’m still thinking of you
I will be back
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
I'm still thinking thinking of you
Mountains and valleys
Away from you
I will be back
Years and months gone away
I’m still thinking of you
I will be back

Love and tears are part of the same game,
I, and you, and we are so fine
Soar so high, crash so hard, total the car in the driveway
Love and tears are part of your game
And I am not afraid to play
Soar so high, crash so hard, total the car in the drive way

Somedays I wish I were born a tree
Sink my teeth into umber and clay
Grow the only way I know how
Tracing the arc of the sun as it moves through the day
Or maybe I could be a songbird
Singing hymns to a ancient belief
Make a cradle out of sprigs and bark
And the spring wind will carry my melody
But I am just a girl
Floating from place to place
There’s no home where I am found
And no memory of me stays the same
I always change, always change, always change
And the cycle of life always bringeth
A new seedling in my ground
And when I slumber I’ll be forgotten
And forgetting all that forgets me
And it's peacetime in the city
Summer is coming around
It's peacetime in the city
Wartime in my hometown
And I run towards the threshold of existence
Fold myself into the womb from whence I came
Can time fold itself like an orange peel
And it can swallow my pain
I still remember pieces of me
That haunt me in traces in my skin
(can she figure it out
Or will she fail again)
The formulas of my mother
And the dictation by my father
Revolution by grandfather
Ice queen great great grandmother
And the mills and threads they built into the land and the silent anger lives in command
And the folk song I sing is for those with conscience
Mourning is for the bastard who leans on providence

Your feelings are a mountain and I’m a nervous animal
And we lay under the tree of eternity
How many years will i love you and still know you
You are my best friend
Do you understand
And are words just a shadow?
Do they hide my hand
And the lay of the land is marked by fear
And it trembles at being known
Can you blame them
Can you blame them
For once you say it out loud
The word’s the mother of
Ten thousand things

On a tree top
Where the dew drop
Many birds sing, have you two fought
On a merry whistle berry
I bestowed chilly Februaries
Crocus seeds and mildew weeds
Milky thistle and cherry tree
Osmanthus calls me to stray away
Burning orange leaflets for a prayer
And work is the prison of my love
It forces the hand of god
And god is the breath in our hearts
Why must i love to work, work to love, work for love
And my world is robbed away
And in my grief I wallow
And the pantheon
Begs at my doorstep
Will you return to your assignment
Crocus seeds and mildew weeds
Mugwort garlands and dried tea leaves
Osmanthus calls me to stray away
Burning orange leaflets for a prayer
Work is the prison of my love
It forces the hand of god
And god is the breath in our hearts
Why must i love to work, work to love, work for love
Sickle scythe are all forgotten
Wheat is pickled carpet rotten
The sun is my baby she follows my word
My anger destroys the last autumn gourd
And I bask in the pleasures of reliability
And the trance of loving attention
But what am i if i live in fear
Love is the reason
Love is the reason
Love is the reason
Work is the prison of my love
It forces the hand of god
And god is the breath in our hearts
Why must i love to work, work to love, work for love

Take me to pythagoras’ house by the sea
He will teach me if i prove my lust for mystery
I’ll bring my seven-string lyre to heaven, to heaven, to heaven

Melusine picks apart the little things
Angry at fallow inconsistencies
In her flinty eyes she is determined to find
A mortal man she does not despise
She walks all day to a perfect mountain
Dressed in white like a nival day
Trangams of mystical powers to hide
And provide an orb of mammalian prey
Melusine and her mother do not see eye to eye
Love is different, love can cover up my unripe
No you’re wrong, my sweet one, your old father did me one
Now I’m a monster on an isle
Skipping stones of my betrayal
I would slay that man and flay him
Chew right through his lying brain stem
I have got to use my better half now that I am alone
I’m a serpent and you’re one too for not following along
Melusine found his kingdom in a state of desuetude
Raymond ran his castle to the ground
Abide by my rules and you will reap your riches
In my affection — don’t question the windfall
He vowed to observe her Saturn’s Day
Never keeping vigil on her bath
She bore him ten sons and two lovely daughters
Whose likeness she thought upon her sisters
Melusine and her sisters do not see eye to eye
Love is patient, and I trust that love is kind
No you’re wrong, christly sister, once you'd been the sharp one
We snuck out from our exile
Found the old man with his new bride
We just slayed him and then flayed him
Chewed right through his lying brain stem
Do you trust that he will love you even past your pagan shroud
We’re all serpents babe come join us dancing on the body of his dead spouse
If I’m promiscuous, I’m disloyal to the fate of man
If I’m promiscuous, I’m disloyal to the fate of man
If I’m a harlot without pardon, am a farm mutt incarnate
Target of the alarmist and enemy of the state
If my sisters and my mother and my daughters and my lover
If my sisters and my mother and my daughters and my lover
If I’m a harlot without pardon, am a farm mutt incarnate
Target of the alarmist and enemy of the state
If my sisters and my mother and my daughters and my lover
If my lover and my mistress and my kindred decry them, decry them
Decry them, decry them
If my weapon is slyness and slyness is all-time
And every moment's a weakness to catch the face of mine
If my weapon is slyness and slyness is all-time
And every moment's a weakness to catch the face of mine
Melusine picks apart the little things
Angry at fallow inconsistencies
In her flinty eyes she is determined to find
A mortal man she does not despise

Moving On

I live by the highway
And stars twinkle in headlights
The space is all mine but no comfort in the big empty sky
The back of the night sleeps against mine like babies in a womb
I’m moving on
Into the sunset
Sting me and break me
Washing away away
Eye of the storm
Can i sit in your embrace
Sting me and break me
Washing away away
Picking flowers, a quarter a piece
Do you want to revisit our old history
A thunderstorm on the prairie makes me sweat
So leave me the fuck alone after 2 pm i’m bristling
I’m only in love only in love only in love
When i’m sweltering
I’m moving on
Into the sunset
Sting me and break me
Washing away away
Eye of the storm
Can i sit in your embrace
Sting me and break me
Washing away away
