Guessed Lyrics - Kismet Acoustic

Murder of Birds

i'm not a bird
i'm a murder of birds
shifting my shape
when your tongue finds the words

like i hate you when i
love you the most
love you the most
love you the most

this shape of a snake
in a defensive coil
same retracted lips
of the one foolish girl

says she hates you when she
loves you the most
loves you the most
loves you

and i've got demons when i need 'em
don't ask to see them they're not
supposed to be used against
you oh

can we build a safe house
far from the bitter bride
and we'll make a home with a brown recluse
and the cobra locked outside

for the spider we'll give a web
to the cobra a lullaby
and keeping the demons happy
you make free for me to fly

and the shape of home baked bread
and the girl in a turned down bed
and a wick of twisted thread
from the loving words you said

birds

and i think i'm alone
in desire for grace
fire only shimmered
and i'm no longer safe

i say i hate you and i
love you the most
love you the most
love you the most

this shape of my breast
and a shape of my kiss
demented coil
with a slither and hiss

said i hate you and i
love you the most
love you the most
love you

and i've got demons
when i need 'em
don't ask to see them they're not
supposed to be used against
you oh

can we build a safe house
far from the bitter bride
and we'll make a home with a brown recluse
and the cobra locked outside

to the spider we'll give a web
to the cobra a lullaby
and keeping the demons happy
you make free for me to fly

and the shape of home baked bread
and the girl in a turned down bed
and a wick of twisted thread
from the loving words you said

the shape of home baked bread
and the girl in a turned down bed
and a wick of twisted thread
from the loving words you said

'cause i'm not a bird
i'm a murder of birds

Intelligentactile 101

can i borrow your bones and marrow till i get my own
lovely lovely lovely bones till i get my own

ohhhh i'm gonna swim in the water first
blowin up her belly though she didn't plan it
i took the invitation when she rocked the hammock
pullin all the wild cards
and now i'm swingin from the stars
from an umbilical cord from an umbilical cord
from an umbilical cord feels like i've been here before

on my tongue on my tongue
i want your fingers on my tongue
i want some intelligent tactile
when foreign play things come

can i borrow your hips and your lips
and your wink and curl

i'm gonna paint that planet red
cuz i'm in the world

and leave a trail of kisses when my loves unfurled

will you steady my ground
dizzy ground when i'm turned around
dizzy dizzy dizzy ground
when i'm lost you'll found
well i'm headed to planet earth to search the sound
deep sound
so keep my compass wound when i'm on the ground

ohhhh i'm gonna be a baby girl
a round trip ticket to a blue planet
flip a uuueyy at mars
ohhhh i'm gonna swim in the water first
blowin up her belly though she didn't plan it
i took the invitation when she rocked the hammock
pullin all the wild cards
and now i'm swingin from the stars
from an umbilical cord from an umbilical cord
from an umbilical cord feels like i've been here before

on my tongue on my tongue
i want your fingers on my tongue
i want some intelligent tactile
when foreign play things come
i'm gonna study em with my tongue
i want some intelligent tactile
on my tongue on my tongue
i want your fingers on my tongue
i want some intelligent tactile
when foreign play things come
i'm gonna study em with my tongue
i want some intelligentactile 101

Seed of Wonder

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.

Out the Back Door

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

out the back door
out the back door
powder boost and gloss it
brush your shoulders floss it
and we're out the back door
out the back door
left hand on the bible
cuz daddy's got a rifle
and we're out the back door
out the back door

and it's one on one from moon to sun
what we do from sun until moon
we waltzin on water dippin lucy liu
and all the flames flicker red and then blue
and we cut that time in two in two
and baby i'm turnin purple like you
when we move we move with wings on our shoes
sickest angels you ever knew

out the back door
out the back door
rollin up the window
smokin up some indo
and we're out the back door
out the back door
mellow in the cloudy
knock it back get rowdy
and we're out the back door
out the back door

spin the vinyl cut the bopshoobop
a get down and bump hip hop
it's a motto when it come to rock
tick tock and it do not stop
hey now tick tock and it do not stop

spin the bottle where will it stop
get down on the table top
it's a motto when it come to rock
tick tock and it do not stop
hey now tick tock and it do not stop

out the back door
out the back door
rollin up the window
smokin up some indo
and we're out the back door
out the back door
left hand on the bible
cuz daddy's got a rifle
and we're out the back door
out the back door

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

out the back door
out the back door
rollin up the window
smokin up some indo
and we're out the back door
out the back door
mellow in the cloudy
knock it back get rowdy
and we're out the back door
out the back door
powder boost and gloss it
brush your shoulders floss it
and we're out the back door
out the back door
left hand on the bible
cuz daddy's got a rifle
and we're out the back door
out the back door
out the back door
out the back door
out the back door

Love and Love Again

written by Jesca Hoop and David Baerwald

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
