Trees, oh trees
Do you remember me?
Trees, oh trees
Do you remember me?
From before
From before
From before
From before
And birds, oh birds
Can you recall my songs?
And birds, oh birds
Can you recall my songs?
From before
From before
From before
From before
Fire, oh fire
I can still feel your warmth
Fire, oh fire
I can still feel your warmth
Like before
Like before
Like before
Like before

Before and Again
02:34
|
|||
I have to say something if I want to sing
But it's not about the words
It's my voice writhing
To a place far from me
That my fingers can't reach
And my legs are so tired from all this standing still
Standing still
All of my dreams are memories
That I can't place to a time or a face
But my body knows
Of the ribbons and bows
That I once was tied in
In my mother's skin
Before and again
Before and again
Before and again

Day is Done
02:09
|

When the day is done
Down to Earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done
When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find that you jumped the gun
You have to go back where you began
When the day is done
When the night is cold
Some get by and some get old
Just to show, life's not made of gold
When the night is cold
When the bird has flown
You got no one to call your own
You got no place to call your home
When the bird has flown
When the game's been fought
You sped the ball across the court
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Now the game's been fought
When the party's through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to start anew
Now the party's through
When the day is done
Down to Earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done

So Sad
01:56
|

Why do I always feel sad
Why do I make things get sad
So sad (so sad)
So sad (so sad)
Soo sad (soooo sad)
Why do I make things feel blue
Why do I make things turn blue
So blue (so blue)
So blue (so blue)
So blue (soooo so so blue)
So sad (so sad)
So sad (so sad)
Soo sad (soooo sad)
So blue (so blue)
So blue (so blue)
So blue (soooo very blue)

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

We're Gonna be Friends
02:06
|
|||
Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound
Here we are, no one else
We walk to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns and books, and show and tell
Playtime, we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
And we don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing
Tonight I'll dream, while I’m in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow, I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Hallucinations
02:36
|
|||
I saw you walking
Only yesterday
When I ran to catch you
You disappeared
And the street was gray.
The candle died
Now you are gone
For the flame was too bright
Now you are gone.
I heard you laughing
With your laugh of gold
When I called out to you
Silence returned
And the air was cold.
The castle fell
Now you are gone
And no more rings the bell
Now you are gone.
I found a letter
On the day it rained
When I tore it open
There in my hands
Only ash remained.
The castle fell
Now you are gone
And no more rings the bell
Now you are gone.
I felt you breathing
As I fell asleep
When I reached out to touch you.
No one was there
And the night was deep
The candle died
Now you are gone
For the flame was too bright.
Now you are gone
I saw you walking
Only yesterday.
When I ran to catch you
You disappeared
And the street was gray.
The castle fell.
Now you are gone
No more rings the bell
Now you are gone.

Tickle Me Pink
02:48
|
|||
Tickle me pink
I'm rosy as a flushed red apple skin
Except I've never been as sweet
I've rolled around the orchard
And found myself too awkward
And tickle me green I'm too naive
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
Muffled out and pushed back down
Pushed back through the leafy ground
Time is too early
My hair isn't curly
I wish I was home and tucked away
When nothing goes right
And the future's dark as night
What you need is a sunny sunny day
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
Muffled out and pushed back down
Pushed back through the leafy ground
Don't know where I can find myself a brand new pair of ears
Don't know where I can buy a heart
The one I've got is shoddy
I need a brand new body
And then I can have a brand new start
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
Muffled out and pushed back down
Pushed back through the leafy ground
Monsters in the valley
And shootings in the alley
And people fall flat at every turn
There is no straight and narrow
Offload your wheelbarrow
And pick up your sticks and twigs to burn
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead

Just Like Anything
02:22
|
|||
Just like anything
To sing
To sing
To sing
Is a state of mind
Sunlight dances slowly on a drum beats broken rhyme
I speak in answers only to see them in my mind
If I had a penny I'd throw it in the sea
To see if would float away
Or grow of any tree
I play the fool of rhythm
To speak of what is sane
I never think of singing to those who feel the same
See how high the rain falls
See the color in my hair
Hunt for golden pourage bowls
Hear the paper tear
Just like anything
To sing
To sing
To sing
Is a state of mind
Death gives no reason
So why should I
Death has no season
So I know I'll never die
Just like anything
To sing
To sing
To sing
Is a state of mind

We the dead, we the dead find a country road
Country road, lead the dead from our homes to the ground
Keep a book of the maggots our bodies will snare
'Cause the earth is the earth, no need to travel in the air
The CN Tower is built upon our bones
The CN Tower will always be our home
Decorate 'round the base, all the graves of our lost loves
Cabbages, ginger root and a crucifix
Never rode on the plains, never thought I couldn't stay
Had a good run anyway, had a good run anyway
I could fill up the lake with all the things I didn't say
Had a good run anyway, had a good run anyway
From the top of the tower
Radio buds in our ears
We can see your house from here
From the top of the tower
Radio buds in our ears
We can see your house from here

Milk
02:12
|
|||
If it weren't for you, I'd still talk in riddles
And use my thumbs only for empty space
To emphasise the awkward silence
In the middle between not-so-important words
And if it weren't for you, I'd still know how to stop
With boundaries like barbed wire frontiers
And only one dog door hidden somewhere to cross
I can't even see the border from here
You see, I don't think you're wasting time
If I could just make all the inner clocks stop ticking
We might meet in the dark and quickly wipe the blood off our mouths
Oh, I'd still think I know what you're thinking
And if it weren't for you, I'd still be so damn good at lying
And believing that love's some stupid card trick
Made out of jacks, queens, hearts, and diamonds
With you I'd gladly drink too much milk until it makes our stomachs sick
With you I'd gladly drink too much milk until it makes our stomachs sick
With you I'd drink, with you I'd drink
With you I'd drink, with you I'd drink

Memento Mori
02:50
|
|||
Everyone I love is gonna die
And I will die as well
I think about this before I sleep
And have since I was a child
In my life, will I make a difference?
In my death, will I be missed?
Will I be granted some sort of an afterlife
Or will I just cease to exist?
This fear makes me feel so naive
I wish that I could just accept
But I'm chilled by the redundancy of
Thoughts collected, but not kept
Maybe I'm still a stupid little boy
Too weak to understand what will come
I want to find peace of mind
Maybe no mind is the answer to that conundrum
Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head
Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head
Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want to forget
Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head
Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want to forget
Everyone I love is gonna die
And I will die as well
I think about this before I sleep
And have since I was a child

Don't be afraid, it's only love
Don't be afraid, it's only love
Don't be afraid, it's only love
Don't be afraid, it's only love
Love is simple
Love is simple
Love is simple
Don't be afraid, you're already dead
Don't be afraid, you're already dead
Don't be afraid, you're already dead
Don't be afraid, you're already dead
Love is simple
Love is simple
Love is simple
Love is simple

An old man in a frame, throwing eyes at me in a vain, and he cries himself awake.
While a big sister in a train, says 'I am never coming back', and she cries herself awake.
A great uncle hits the screen, exit hope and all his dreams and they cry themselves awake.
Christmas comes and goes for good, the words I lost, the ones I misunderstood, I cry myself awake.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to see.

My friends are birds, my friends are
trees,
my friends are fishies in the stream
water is my friend and fire and earth and air,
my friends are laughing stars, and winds and (not so) feral beasts as they may seem
and all my friends are beautiful and wondrous fair
I am a bird as well a bird of fire and water, soil and air
And I like to do things
