Last Whirlpool

Carina

The vision’s never over
The camera on your shoulder closely magnifies
And picks up all the photons
With a reflective coat on
Sorting the heat from the light

We can’t stop what we can’t start
We can’t stop what we can’t start
We came together to come apart
What a cluster growing up on the vine

To hold it is to load it
We’re sharing in an orbit with some younger stars
And feeling their emotions
Though I hardly know you
I’m sorting the heat from the light

We can’t stop what we can’t start
We can’t stop what we can’t start
We came together to come apart
What a cluster growing up on the vine
What a cluster growing up on the vine’s timeline
What a cluster! Six seconds on the vine

Home Band Advantage

If you've landed on Earth and they ask you to dance
If you can't feel your feet and you can't understand
Don't be afraid just obey these commands
Keep your eyes on the star and one hand to your heart

And feel it still beating
The tension releasing
We can feel it too

If you're sweaty and shiny step out for some air
We can feel it too
Some things are timeless they just need repair
We can feel it too
If you can't find your baby come back to the band

And feel it still beating
The tension releasing
The refrain repeating
The tension releasing
Sing it for safekeeping
Sing it for safekeeping
We can feel it too

When you're stranded on Earth and they ask you to dance
Just get on to the floor and pretend you understand
Don't belabor it baby obey these commands
Keep your eyes on the star and one hand to your heart

And feel it still beating
The tension releasing
Yeah

The Last Whirlpool

Imagine a few decades down the line
Yeah the years have been kind
But I've found myself blind
I was ignoring all warnings
But that's ok

I will return like a child
And bob and bounce
A la playa Bebé
Rearranging the way
I relate to you
And distribute my weight

The last whirlpool

Swallowed another one
Innocent until proven
I know we'll lose the whole afternoon
But we'll get to use the whirlpool
And we trace our toenails on top of the rocks
Pedro with the binocs
Wearing goggles to more easily ogle
The octagonal fountains
And the bodies without bottoms

I will return like a child
And bob and bounce
A la playa Bebé
Rearranging the way
I relate to you
And just evaporate

The last whirlpool

So Fa Hi

Do you feel me?
Cuz I feel you
We are feeling ourselves

You are so far hi soon you’ll start to sink
Thinking all the thoughts that you thought you’d think
You always wanted someone keeping you honest
You are so far hi soon you’ll start to sink

Do you feel me?
Cuz I feel you
We are feeling ourselves

Your eyes get so wide when sugar hits the bowl
You can’t restrain and soon you’ll cave to my world
You are a goner but you still find some honor in this mud
Your eyes get so wide when sugar  hits the bowl

Do you feel me?
Cuz I feel you
We are feeling ourselves
Keep ‘em coming
They’re rolling right
Before there’s nothing left

You’re so far high

Jewels in Aluminum

Flooded red of hibiscus in my eye
Leather wealth of the tortoise just poured
We all wear a lens baby we can make amends

Back at the sun
Thought I knew it when I flew into
My reflection
Fools in aluminum
And when it’s done
When I’ve done all I can do for you
My reflection
Jewels in aluminum

If you don’t think you can blink then you’ll be blind
I fell in on the peak of a pike’s dive
Sight is getting thin, don’t mean I won’t catch a glimpse

Back at the sun
Thought I knew it when I flew into
My reflection
Fools in aluminum
And when it’s done
When I’ve done all I can do for you
My reflection
Jewels in aluminum

Will You Be There?

All the love I chase
Can’t erase the chains that tie me to
This heaven now
Holding seeds our thumbs thumbed in the ground 

Pick me Queen Anne’s lace
King of carrot blossoms on your waist
Breathe in the bouquet
I am yours until we evaporate

Can we steal the kiss and ride sign?
Can we dive off the dock at night time?
Will you be there when I lose my mind?

All our best drawn plans
Fly away on the wings of the robin
Different colored days
Counting strokes my pen swims on the page
Seeds blow away
Leaves blow away

Feet Prints

I went on and on
Let it fall from my tongue
Really loosened my lungs
Gave her legs, she began to run
I gave her a piece of my mind
And my heart and my spine

I wrote her right off of the wall 
I talked her into the outdoors 
I traced her path on paper thin as the window

Threw them onto the fire
All my life’s sentences
Smoke kept swirling higher
In perfect penmanship
Slowly floating away
Carrying on through the day

I wrote her right off of the wall
I talked her into the outdoors
I traced her path on paper thin as the window

Never follow footsteps and you’ll never have to know

Can I Get an Otra?

So used to the hula
We know that it’s Friday night somewhere
Leave ‘em screaming otra
Can I get an otra sip of air

I whistle 3 notes of a tune
Will you be laughing when we free fall in the lagoon?

Burning it for hours
Careful with the candles on this ship
Hanging on a nickname
Trying to hide the shame inside our lips

I whistle 3 notes of a tune
Will you be laughing when we free fall in the lagoon?
I fall for you

What would I let you do to me?
Paint my face and push me down and give me to gravity 
I fall for you

I was a child I was the bad one
You were a child at least you had fun
Time’s a cruel crocodile that we cannot outrun

Girls Can’t Sleep

I told my mother that I was off sugar
I was trying to help her she was lying in bed
But sometimes a nightmare can be a good scare
All alone in your own dark lair all alone in your head

But the girls can’t sleep
They just close their eyes ‘til the morning light
And the sun comes up
They return to the earth in the morning light

Walking the tightrope to San Francisco
Where half of who I know should just give it a rest
Leave open your windows blow by like a biome
One day I will come back home to lay down my head

But the girls can’t sleep
They just close their eyes ‘til the morning light
And the sun comes up
They return to the earth in the morning light

Girls can’t sleep
They just close their eyes and return to the earth in the morning
Girls’ can’t sleep

St-Germaine

Oh sometime last winter I planted a seed
But the ground was a glitter and littered with weeds
Felt strange to endanger the fruit on the plain
So I poured out a bottle of sweet St-Germaine

When I left on your birthday you were as still as the earth
Frozen in monotone, frozen in monotone
Though your eyes are still fizzy and float like champagne
I still owe you a bottle of sweet St-Germaine

Sometime this winter I planted a seed
And when the sun came I pulled all the weeds
Though nothing would grow except for one that contained
Vines full of bottles of sweet St-Germaine

In Arizona!

I pretend I'm alone
That I'm lost in a light dusting of snow
While it's not that far off from the aisle
I'm seated flying to Phoenix

Arizona
Get your hopes up
In the new year

You may think that I'm drunk
That I've slipped off the slope of a bender
Though my head is still numb, I've spent time with my tongue
I'm honky tonk tender

Arizona
Get your hopes up
We're going whole hog
In the new year

We're going whole hog
In the new year
