Ants In The Leaves

I listen to the ants in the leaves
to the buzzing business of the bees
for the story they might share
through this thick summer night’s air
I get carried away by the noise
of their heartaches and their joys
I jolt and tango to the pain
to the sweet rumble of their refrain
darling have you ever noticed that the view
is actually just busy admiring you ?
If you go away it’ll disappear
please make it stay, make it stay right here
you know, I think my dog’s in love with you too
he spends his dreams running through fields with you
barking at rabbits and chasing the moon
swimming in lakes in the late afternoon

My Body Knows

my body knows
every single place you go to
when the daylight dies
the night owls rise
they hover and watch over the fields you cross
under moonlit skies
my body knows
each path and road you take
every hill and lake
when’ll you be back ?
nobody knows
my body feels
the pebbles under your heels as you walk
the weight of your feet
on slopes so steep that lead me
to rusty towns that move again
to the rhythm of your heartbeat
my body knows
each heartfelt choice you make
every twist of fate
when’ll you be back ?
nobody knows

King Of Chihuahui
02:22

I miss the Queen’s skin
she’ll never let me in
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I wanna go back
but, man, I can’t go back
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I stay up late
begging at the Queen’s gate
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’d rather be dead
than remember what she said
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
she called me a clown
but look who’s got the crown
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
all she does is weep
her dad I killed in his sleep
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I stole a kitchen knife
and I took the man’s life
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
all his blood he bled
it drowned him in his bed
he was the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
he was the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
he was the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
and now
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’ve got a big crown
I’m the meanest guy in town
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
come on and be my slave
or I’ll put you in your grave
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’ll stick it in your wives
then I’ll take their goddamn lives
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I can do anything
I’m a motherfucking king
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
but I cry all night
goddamn the Queen was right
the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I stand at her gate
if only it weren't too late
the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui
I’m a motherfucking clown
with a motherfucking crown
I’m the King of Chihuahui
Boom Boom Chihuahui

meet me at the gates before spring
bring somersaults, dandelions, the wind
and a long piece of string
to make a kite
out of light
oh I’ll build you a castle in the sand
you’ll be the queen and this’ll be your land
and we will breathe
in your breeze
and we will sail
on your seas
your face is a moon so bright
your eyes capturing the night
the wind fooling around with your hair
oh I stand so still and stare
am I even really there ?
will I ever really dare ?
oh I’d love to take a walk with you
on bridges, through meadows wet with dew
but it’s always late
so I’ll just wait
at your gate

Veil

I spoke on the phone with Death last night, she said « I’m sorry for your loss, but I can’t really talk right now, I’ve got to go to bed, got a big day tomorrow, but you, you should take your mind of things, get out, have a drink or two, see a show, call your friends, stay busy. If you like, we’ll talk tomorrow. » So I stepped out and stood on the sidewalk watching the city lights for a while. The night air was thick and walking through it was like making your way through goo, so I just stood still and watched the streets vanish under headlights of cars smashing every single particle into a billion lonely stars.
I’ll ride these streets
to the edge of town
my ears to the ground
my eyes to the sky
to the heavens above
Everything’s so far away, the sea, the mountains and the woods. The sky’s the limit, but it’s a pretty long fucking walk just to get out of town. Plus these shoes hurt. I lie down and watch the night sky looking for your star, but the city lights have buried them deep into space, where no man has gone before. Deep, deep, deep and so out of our reach. You’re out of my reach.
I’ll ride these streets
to the edge of town
my ear to the ground
my eyes open wide
to the heavens above
My skin expands and covers every inch of concrete with my grief. My skin is a veil covering every inch of street with my grief. My skin is a veil covering the streets. My skin is a veil.

Tiny Little Insects

Doreen watched the street from her kitchen window
the cracks in the path
the moss in the cracks
housing tiny little insects
all bathing in the sun
« oh how I wish I was an insect
who knows, it might be fun »
Doreen spent the day in her backyard
the little clods of earth
all around the yard
housing tiny little insects
all busy in the sun
« how lovely it looks to be an insect
oh how I wish I was one »
Doreen sat on her terrace and looked down at the square
the people back from work
the kids rushing back from school
all remind her of tiny little insects
eager for the day to be done
« oh I wish I was an insect
who knows, I might just become one. »

My Stone Lion
05:14

I ride on a lion
it is made of stone
on the streets of Sandgate
we roam alone
on pebbled beaches
we feel so free
qnd fall asleep
to the racket of the sea
through endless nights
we roam around town
on these steep hills
we wander up and down
to silent shadows
we speak in vain
these silent shadows
must think us insane
this salty wind
burns my skin
and my stone lion
is growing thin
but there is nowhere
we’d rather be
my stone lion
these sleepless nights and me
some nights we run
and some nights we walk
some nights we scream
and some nights we talk
and when there’s a storm
we sing out so loud
the sea, the lion and I
a very noisy crowd

The Clouds
03:41

we’ve got flour in a jar
and sugar in a bowl
as the sunlight settles on your lap
it beams through your soul
time just sticks around these days
it’s got nowhere to go
so we just sit and listen
to the birds sing low
we’ve got sweet coffee in our cups
and silence in our rooms
we lie on our sides
and we fill it with tunes
nobody comes around no more
we’ve disconnected our phones
so we just sit and listen
to the soft wind moan
we sit near the stove
and watch the smoke fill the sky
the stories it tells
they help us get by
I watch your lips move
as you read, you read them out loud
and I stare with wonder
through your eyes at the clouds

I'll
03:16
|

|
I’ll steal the night for you
lock it in a room
with the stars and the moon
and I will keep the day from ever coming in
so I can hold you tight
on an endless night
come knock on my door
once, twice or more,
scratch at it if you want to
I’ll know that it’s you
I will write down your dreams for you
in a brand new pad
that I’ll read when I’m sad
and I will read them out loud for you
and embellish them so it seems
that I’m in your dreams
come knock on my door
once, twice or more,
scratch at it if you want to
I’ll know that it’s you
I will sweep out the streets for you
I’ll wipe out the dust, the muck and the rust
and the grass will grow beneath your feet as you walk
and the birds I will tame
so they’ll sing your name
in a song that I wrote for you
at the beginning of time
when you were mine
