that beats its subtle music in the dark
you leaned on the rail and the waves tore the sails to pieces
in a sea of white horses above
we shivered like orphans of love
and when we reached for the reigns
the wind tore the sky with thunder

you gimme the shakes
i get those shakes
and I know I drew a line here in the sand
you gimme the shakes
I get those shakes
now girl, I'm such a shaky, shaky man

now babe, I don't mean to offend
I just wanna be your good, good, friend
wipe the face-paint away, I've got to see your skin tonight
we're just tiny boats tossed by the sea
on sexual rip-tides that we breathe
causing shipwrecks, I'll kiss your neck and let's go under

you'll get those shakes
I'll give you the shakes
and I'll rattle your bones baby now
you'll get those shakes
I'll give you the shakes
I'm just a shaking, shivering hound

into well away
machines dance and play
speechless voices say
feldspar

creatures two by two
reach this naked view
starlight rendezvous
whispers in the blue

feldspar
dark star

swim the ocean spray
ripples in the waves
shimmering display
riptide castaway

feldspar

smokescreen covers blow
mirror tricked me so
lightening laser-show
giant roosters crow

feldspar
feldspar
feldspar
dark star

tell me who could do this thing
the light that shines inside your eyes
follow me through my dreams
and when the weather gets so bad outside
when the bitter coldness sings,
who could send their welcoming
upon these frozen wings?

I want to be in the sunshine
so good to be in the sunshine
oh yeah to be in the sunshine
in the sunshine
in the sunshine

get to feelin like the stars are aligned
in a very fancy way
weightless in this atmosphere,
this orbit and these rays
who could walk away from a sunny day?
tell me who could do this thing

I want to be in the sunshine
so good to be in the sunshine
oh yeah to be in the sunshine
in the sunshine
in the sunshine

in lover's likeness, a cold wind caresses the
frozen sky
the egg inside its gentle nest is cradled tightly to the ever-
dreaming eye;
the sideways glance of rapid movement
..silver lined
in the clouds collecting colors from the spring and also from the summer

too bright,
through the cracks, the rays are piercing
dark night
disappears into the fire, burned into another dream that
takes flight
carried on a breeze into tomorrow..

for moving cities
constant sidewalks
the grids and pathways
ooh…

caught the train late
in the evening
stole some money for the
picture show
colored lights and
fancy robots
lipstick faces and
eyes that glow
ooh…

height in the skyline
glass and a view
darkness cannot cover
you

concrete caverns
beneath the pavement
midnight people
laughing home
prostitutes are
telling sectrets
brick facades all
in a row
ooh…

height in the skyline
glass and a view
darkness cannot cover
you

worlds began to form
the smiling moon above, the owl and the dove
start the endless swarm

leaf by leaf she grew, and gathered others to
they wove the colored strand
they held each other well, they rang the golden bell
singing hand in hand

"ah-ooh"

the honeycomb is still, it's drips of liquid spill
and the sun is warm
the pools begin to grow, the deep and naked flow
the worker bee is born

the drones went on their way, the nautical ballet
answered hunger's call
they drove the driving will, and squeezed it tighter still
the shining silver ball

"ah-ooh"

the fire glowing white, collected from the night
the fuel its burning tolls
in empty space within, the embers call again
for breath upon the coals

"ah-ooh"

a star above the sea lit the burning tree
worlds began to form
the smiling moon above, the owl and the dove
start the endless swarm

inside the winding clock of eternity
there lies somewhere in the unknown
what eyes can never be shown

behind all the lines of your memory
you'll find everything that will ever be
it sleeps in the breezes that blow
it shines in the flowers that grow

like moonlight on the ocean
and the stars that fill the skies
like all of the emotion
you could ever feel inside

your mind is everything as it's meant to be
unwind behind the mask of identity
confide, it's all one and the same
no lines between pleasure and pain

just moonlight on the ocean
and the stars that fill the skies
like all of the emotion
you could ever feel inside

whisper of this
silently so
memory's kiss
words cannot know
the way you are
your hidden stars

breathe now the sound
love's brought today
live in this breath
roll in this clay
whisper of this
memory's kiss

whisper this love my friend
let it smile again
let it be, let it in
whisper of this

windows between
flames twisting bright
as in a dream
in morning light
lift curtains high
no words reply

whisper this love my friend
let it smile again
let it be, let it in
whisper of this

colored wind
come fill the skies again
heaven sighs
and its rotors spin

and again
come be the things you have been
lullabyes
that I can dream within

wish the moon would listen to the words i say
never a reply please tell me why
please tell me why
lifting up on everything opening
doors it's still undone the days of the sun
the days of the sun

colored wind
I feel the touch of your skin
lovely eyes
and your mouth of sin

let's pretend
that nothing more's ever been
breathing sighs
colored wind

here comes my baby
down the stairs
through revolving doors
with eyes of yellow glare

here comes my baby
she's so out of sight
she rolls in the mud
all wrapped up in white


and she smiles like a lizard in the sun
naked in its rays till her day is done
and while i weaken her story with words
her eyes do her talking, they fly with the birds

here comes my baby
with the devil's grin
she's got my soul in her pocket
she's got my wheels in full spin

here comes my baby
she's so outta sight
she rolls in the mud
all wrapped up in white

underneath these sparkling skies
and as those shooting stars roll by

i need you baby by my side
underneath these sparkling skies
and as those shooting stars roll by
i'll wish on one or two
and leave the rest for you

oh Cinderella, give and take is a strange game you break with your eyes
in a shining umbrella you smiled, and in the cage of a broken turnstile
I felt the half-melted wax of a keepsake-heart trail on for miles
Oh,
Give me your candy smiles

You had the last word singing a birdsong when night turned to day
and the word-sounds you used had no meanings confused in the way
Oh, sexy mademoiselle, let me live in your candy hotel
and we'll sip from the love-cup of sunshine that dips in the well
Oh,
in your candy hotel

in your candy hotel…

cricket rhythms in the night
echo in the firelight
summer grasses tall and thin
cover eyes that wait within

coyote circles under
the open sky in trance and wonder

the sisters of the night revolve
they bend and gather stars that fall
grandmother moon she sheds her glow
and smiles on those who dance below

the owl's twist of flight
flash feathered wings through the night

dark eyes of beauty pierce within
white feathers flap in hollow skin
cry of devotion howls inside
cuts through bone and echoes wide

night's lovers they are turning
the coals that still are burning

it was pullin on the seams of the sky again
 I was looking for a place to dry my bones
then I felt the golden lightening come and take me home

Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
your lips are like honey wanna swim in your soul
Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
aurora borealis make me lose control

she climbed into the mouth of a wild dog
singing lullabies to the night so soft
with rose-petals griffin on the crests of her skin
Oh sweet woman come and be my friend

Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
your lips are like honey wanna swim in your soul
Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
Oh sweet woman
aurora borealis make me lose control

they, the flowers and the trees
they fall
tired wings of revelry
resolved
kiss the petals at their feet
removed
what is left is meant to be
anew

and these stones hold memories
they do
from the wind that lovers tease
birds flew

clumsy fingers claw the ground
dig for
loving's faster beating sound
then more
say their pounding heart is there
close by
grasping for a river's flow
run dry

and these stones hold memories
they do
from the wind that lover's tease
birds flew

calling down from the branches
let come, let go
watch the blade of grass it dances
below

let come, let go...

up on the breeze
dances on windowsills
in the falling of the leaves
yeah little butterfly
flap up on me
sprinkle that love dust
just like raindrops on the sea

tell me now butterfly
please tell me
where did you get your wings
all these colors i see
show me now butterfly
show me the way
come encapsulate me
in your sensual grace

fly high, butterfly
but don't flutter by my sweet caress 'cause all this sticky nectar mess is meant to please you...
 I'm here to oblige you winged creature,
just to make your little hairs stand up
and tickle your antennae so-
fix your geometric eyes on me and draw me in,
I swear, I taste like candy-coated sex that's blowin in the wind
butterfly, come on by, have a sip just for a while..
straight to your head, I'll leave you tied up drooling
with a happy smile

you're sleek as a razor
that hangs from a thread
oh, little butterfly,
flappin inside my head
you're the wind's secret lover
the sweet spot on the tongue
lend me a ride now butterfly,
come on and fly me to the sun.

heart weaves fingers through threads of stray twilight
 whispered sound
life-breath dances on unstuck strings tightly wound

water mirror, close your eyes
currents breathe roads through the skies
pulse of flooded rivers rise
we walk along estrada

mudded bank
arms full of lifetimes, these shores that drank night and day
webs of grace
reeds reach for studded skies as diamonds race on and on

water mirror, close your eyes
currents breathe roads through the skies
pulse of flooded rivers rise
we walk along estrada

the clouds were grinding like steel
and the paper sky tore to the morning
and the monsters were driving the wheel
and we listened and gazed at the crash and the cackle
of thunder that broke through the sky
and we stitched up the seams on a beautiful dream
and a bird on a string drifted by

in a beautiful dream
in a beautiful dream
in a beautiful dream
in a beautiful dream

and I walked down the sidewalk in sunlight
and the branches they wove overhead
and the plastic toy cars on the highway
looked like children that nobody fed
winding along with the bright beaming headlights
weaving on roads through the sky
we stitched up the seams on a beautiful dream
and we're trying to learn how to fly

in a beautiful dream
in a beautiful dream
in a beautiful dream
in a beautiful dream

woven with you like loose threads you hold to
your lips insist
they know what they want to do. you laugh as they pull you
in for a little more
of the tapestries pattern in the wine as it pours
come in old friend
i've made us a fire in the face of the cold wind

ooooh....

your feet, holy
electrical currents enwrapped in the tapestry
soft and sweet skin
with a smile that melts the winter and brings the flowers out again

oooh.....

and to grace her soft skin with it's feathers of sunlight
and her wishbones are breaking, as she pins her heart
to the fluffy clouds traveling on

and a calm fills the room and every breath fuels on the
dream tortoise journeys beneath bedspring branches
I don't wait for you, I'm just sitting here counting the
blades of grass one by one

never two the same
the branches reach deep in the tangle of trees
the rolling of stones in the rain
never two the same
the drops of the ocean
are scattered like stars
these grapes on the vine that remain

In the sunlight as it drips from your lips
like a diamond's sweet kiss given birth by the morning,
we smashed the hourglass, scattered its sand
To the dunes of the desert wind

and the circular rings of my vision were trapped in the
photograph I took of the sun late that morning
it blinded my eyes, and I felt you beside me
but didn't know what was your name

never two the same
the branches reach deep in the tangle of trees
the rolling of stones in the rain
never two the same
the drops of the ocean
are scattered like stars
these grapes on the vine that remain

we're covering our skin
diffracting the cold sunlight
in the wind
and we whisper like a moonbeam
and we sing just like a bird
and there's no real conversation to be heard

Oh, mamma said that love is gonna bring us crashing down someday
and the fear of falling is always the worst kind of pain
I think if I jump it will all be fine
I don't cover my eyes walking tightrope lines

and the miser comes in armor
and he wants to buy a friend
and he's found a golden sun-flake
yet again
and he does a little dance
and he makes a happy sound
and we all roll around laughing on the ground

He said "mamma always said that love is gonna bring me crashing down someday
and the fear of falling was always the worst kind of pain
I think if I jump it will all be fine
I don't cover my eyes walking tightrope lines

and we dug with our bare fingers
and we found a diamond stone
and it beat a broken heartbeat
all alone
and we pieced it all together
like an old and rusted clock
and when the big hand hit we
were unlocked

They always said that love is gonna bring us crashing down someday
and the fear of falling is always the worst kind of pain
I think if I jump it will all be fine
I don't cover my eyes walking tightrope lines

Clothed in naked rubies
we're covering our skin
diffracting the cold sunlight
in the wind
and we whisper like a moonbeam
and we sing just like a bird
and there's no real conversation to be heard

back to the place where life was beating slow
taste the sense of enchantment
words they flow like waterfalls
we burned the candles to the bone
swimming in the midnight
heart beats inside the blackened shell
of the light

Oh!...

on a rift of morning fog
through spiderwebs hangs a golden glow
in the valley of encampment
as the distant echoe calls
through the air the spinning clay
floats in the sunlight
heart beats inside the blackened shell
of the light

Oh!...
