The goat painted red The town, until it ended up dead Leaving its huge bread II It wore it all And all unlike poles took the fall Until that nasty call III The knife watched as it grew Time bit and fanned it as it grew It felt not the wings of time as it […]
When the weather gets cold Lonely bubbles get bold And show on skins Like standing fins On fishes II Then they call on past thoughts Thoughts the body bought With time and buried And needs ferried By regret III Like waves, tears fight back Goosebumps get stacked I need an antidote I get on a […]
I live in that song Among all who long Up on the Pong breeze II Chi, Chi chi chi chi A bird is my chi So there are many dangers I can’t smoke like the gangsters Lest the smoke brings in hunters I can’t fly so high Lest I’m shot by guns I can’t walk […]
Obvious waves Travelling from far caves You give chills which lift no finger to save II Visions of your opened mouth Visions of your furious face Thoughts of your final blows Shake my body into jerks III So sail slow, oh vicious waves!
