corn is gettin high
and the well is getting low
fields are getting dry
i'm gonna catch a lizard's eye
so i got to lay low
playing in the rye
la la la
summer
summertime
summer
summertime
summer
summertime
summer
rattle rattle rattle grass
i hope that you won't bite
you can save your venom
let me pass
i'm headed to the hive
la la la
summer

summer
summer baby baby
find me in the field
follow my trail till the grain is
higher than your ears
bring a soft blanket baby
lay it down for me
and roll me daddy daddy
roll me in the wheat
la la la
moon is on the rise
and the sun is sinking low
swim in a lake at night
i'm gonna sing with my cricket cicada choir
owl on a wire
la la la

once my love stood still like a stagnant well for so
long - you could hear the song of spiders - strumming
fibers - calling her to the web - my river sits in
ebb - the little ones lean over - laughter echoes -
bounce down the dark until it hits the
floor - singin come on baby come on child - call
your flo - like a seed of wonder - faith of mustard -
o yeah wo yeah. all is dark - all of the light is
vanished it is gone - like something large - hovering
high has covered up the sun - and something
quiets the silken ringing - something breaks the
strum...a wish has finally come.
ah oh ah no ah - all i want is to be writing
to be writing - all i want is to be writing and
it goes something like...once that wish did
land - like a star in my hand - it burned and
it burned and it burrowed in - soar through
the source searching - hammer and ping -
and tapped my virgin spring - and prime the
vein with milk of mother - and wet my river
bed - pearls strung up on silk thread - the
starry one - beams his light - he's working
under - diggin through the dark gatherin
particles - findin everything you ever wished
for in your soul like a seed of wonder faith
of mustard. oh no ah no ahhhno - finally
that tapped spring come runnin like a river
my song it came - ahh eeeyeah ohoo noooay -
right away i went writin i went writin - right
away I was hummin I was hummin - right away I
was singin I was singin - right away i
was lovin - and goes something like...light...
i haven't always been under such a blue -
only you - have seen such stormin in my life.
beautiful
alone with my enemy
and share a bitter cup
of poisoning
my countenance
to see his face in mine
and follow every line
back to my enemy
you are mine
pennyroyal wine flyyy
like an innocent child
that followed every line
back to my enemy
beautiful
falling fast from a state of grace
and trusing there's a light
in darkest place
my dirty knees
hold the ground till it's done with me
i've come to see that beauty
is a thing
that is without grace
you are mine
pennyroyal wine flyyy
like an innocent child
that followed every line
back to my enemy
beautiful
at home with my history
and run the scarlet ink
with the tears of mercy
my battle wounds
lay to rest in a treasure box
and thinking of the scars
as the jewels of my story
you are mine
pennyroyal wine flyyy
like an innocent child
that followed every line
back to my enemy
enemy
enemy
enemy
enemy
“The words in this song come from a myth that I was taught as a child. And the muse goes simply like this: When you die, you don't go to heaven. Right away that is. You go to a screening. A screening of your life, and everyone in heaven is there to watch with you. Sounds alright so far, right? Well here is the rub: They only show the bad things you did on planet earth...hence the line...the gates of heaven open and there is me...on the silverscreen. I hope they did good editing!”
-Jesca Hoop
stolen crown
pillow down
all tangled in my hair
evening gown
the lights downtown
all dangle in the air
gates of heaven open
there is me
on the silverscreen
i hope they did good editing
bell and beau
buck and doe
a love of tender age
jill and joe
dosy do
a tragedy on stage
gates of heaven open
there is me
on the silverscreen
i hope they did good editing
bye bye baby bye bye
hello to my beautiful mind
bye bye
crystal ball
padded walls
a bright blue t.v. glare
a moth to light is as lost as i'm found
far down cellar stair
gates of heaven open
there is me
on the silverscreen
i hope they did good editing
bye bye baby bye bye
money money makes the world go round
money money'll make you change your sound
if the price is right
if the price is right
if you want paper
if you want gold and silver
learn now not later
people pay for what's familiar
no need to know yourself too well
you can trade in that saga you tell
for the song you know will sell
if you want cheddar
if you want smoke and roll better
take off your sweater
to earn your varsity letter
it's a virgin feast for all
see how gracefully they fall
into the mirrors on the wall
cuz if you want to belong you write a sing-a-long
money money makes the world go round
money money'll make you change your sound
if the price is right
you forfeit your style without a fight
who will be your beacon
the dark of night
should have been truly bright
where do we go
the freaks
on the fringe
when the edges are all rounded out
we just dangle out in space
you can call us when you need to find out
we go
the misfits
on the fringe
when the edges are all rounded out
we just dangle out in space
you can call us when you need to find out
what the real stars are all about
time has turned and the scenery has changed
and all the books have
burned
but the lyrics remain
let the motherfucker burn let's change the refrain
nobody needs history
repeatin tin tin tin tin
money money makes the world go round
money money'll make you change your sound
if the price is right
if the price is right
if you want skrilla
if you're a cheddar gorilla
stack up your bills as
you sign away your free will
there's no need to represent
the truth of self has been well spent
moving from mortgage out of rent
cuz if you want to belong you write a sing-a-long
money money makes the world go round
money money'll make you change your sound
if the price is right
you forfeit your style without a fight
who will be your beacon
the dark of night
should have been truly bright
why do we
want to be
ballerinas when we grow up
little boyz dream the night away
with fighting fires
when we grow up
torlege releve rondejambe
and round and up
round and up
firemen slide on down the pole and sound
the siren
everybody up
all is well
in my sorrow
isn't she a beauty
burning hall
ash and shadow
here comes the hero
little eyes
small but wide
young but wiser
all looking up
all looking up
for your hat
and your axe
and your yellow jacket
daddy get up
ash to ash dust to dust
none could muster
daddy get up
daddy get up
they see what you couldn't do
when consumed by fire
days glow
sleep in the hollow
dreams in the hollow
pesky old crow
heather and thistle
no prints to follow
hope that they follow
hopes all they know
all is well in my sorrow
isn't she a beauty
burning hall
ash and shadow
here comes the hero
oh i tried to put it out
but the big tree was falling
and now i find him reaching out
but the big tree it fell
cross the sea
her dancing broken dream
so i'm lacing up
i'm lacing up
for musing starts
in broken hearts
the most courageous beauty
so i'm lacing up
mother's milk
ragged silk
chalk's in the hall tree
tattered toe shoes
broken toes
releve turn and pray
for mother's broken dancer
days glow
sleep in the hollow
dreams in the hollow
pesky old crow
heather and thistle
no prints to follow
hope that they follow
hopes all they know
all is well in my sorrow
isn't she a beauty
burning hall
ash and shadow
here comes the hero
the night before the night she came
katrina the hurricane
ohhhh was calm
calm for a land untame
that spill the boarders of new orleans
ohhhh was calm
the plow boys played their old favorite "the city's on parade"
on parade
but deep in the heart of
the ocean
their beds were made
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
and the rains that came
with the force of a runaway train
ohhh run away
and the waters rose and the levees the levees
broke
ohhh run away
and the cradle broke my beloved
the cradle broke
oh i must stay
for deep in the heart of
our home
my beloved was washed away
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we ever really had
the old church bell
is in the graveyard
the old church bell
ohhh lace and stone
the naked feet
pound the pavement
of nameless streets
ohhh faceless homes
but deep in the heart of
the american
prayers for new orleans
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we ever really had

red ribbon on witch we ride
carry us over horizon as the sun setting
night puts on a phantom cloak
sing violet light and emote
the protection that violet evokes
fasten your focus on your sole cause
is your fruit and flowers on red ribbon
swift justice comes delivery white bone demon
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
deep deep in the green sea
there is a weapon for me
a pin that is fixing the sea
a pillar of gold shiny and if i can pull it free
the cudgel is coming with me
fasten heave ho
pillar of gold
runs through the deepest darkest stone
cudgel undone weighing one ton
bring on your force white bone demon
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
don't believe your eyes
when the maiden does arrive
you fool she is the enemy
and do not trust the guise of a woman old and wise
for truly she is the white bone demon
dance macaques (monkey's) round the fire
warrior drum
banshee cryer
call to them visions of her pyer
fuelled by the demons throne
we shall subdue her to bone
and ashes to ashes her home
fasten your focus on your soul
cause is your fruit and flowers home
and in one blow
i smite down my foe
and ashes to ashes welcome home
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
ohhhh ohhhh begun the havoc in heaven
ohhhh ohhhh...
when we rock the house watch the roof go bump
watch the swingers swing on the floor
and all the brick houses
gonna shake da rump
and all the swingers gonna swing it some more
and all you players gonna round em up
and all you lovers get ready to score
the beat gets harder when the love erupts
and all the flames shootin out the back door

powder boost and gloss it
brush your shoulders floss it
and we're out the back door

come the sun
heaven's rays
and the stormers are gone
and the white cloth is raised
golden days
and the city is in love again
and we dream
in a daze
and we drink and we dance
and we throw cares away
lovers gaze
and the city is in love
my heart was so dark dear
with you not here
and the cold wind's
all that would meet me at my door
i waved goodbye and wished you well
life's a carousel
when it brings you round it never never tells
when you find yourself in love again
love and love again
love and love again
the merry-go-round never ends
i waved goodbye and wished you well
life's a carousel
when it brings you round it never never tells
when you find yourself in love again
bitter rose sour plum
and the birds sing to soothe where the roses were stung
hearts undone
and the world is in love again
there's a spell on the air
and the sailors all drift
and get lost in her hair
hearts are bare
and the soldiers come home again
my eyes they grew dark dear
with you not here
and the cold wind's
all that would dance me round my floor
i waved goodbye and wished you well
life's a carousel
when it brings you round it never never tells
when you find your self in love again
love and love again
love and love again
the round and round ride never ends
