Une histoire de plage, mêlée de sable et d'eau
Dans un coquillage, la voilure d'un bateau
Qui se balançait sur le bord du soleil
En portant, qui sait, nos illusions nées de la veille
J'ai trop souvant fais naufrage pour n'avoir pas su dire
Alors qui le fallait, avec de mots nouveaux
La mer que je t'offrais pour tes voyages
Je connais des vagues qui roulent doucement
En tissant des algues, les nuages poussent le vent
Qui joue la couleur et qui peint la musique
En orchestrant les fleurs d'un casino aquatique
Je te donne l'océan
Pour que te tu souviennes
Des courses dans le vent
Que nous faisions ensemble
Espèrant que l'amour
Serait au large
Une histoire de plage, mêlée de sable et d'eau
Dans un coquillage, la voilure d'un bateau
Qui se balancait sur le bord du soleil

A beach story
Mixed with sand and water
In a seashell
The sail of a boat
Which swayed
On the edge of the sun
By carrying, who knows
Our illusions, born of yesterday
I too often went shipwreck
For not being able to say
Well, what had to be said
With new words
The sea I'm offering you
For your travels
I know waves
That roll gently
A String of Seaweed
Clouds were growing
That play the colours
And paint the music
And arrange the flowers
Into an aquatic casino
I give you the ocean
The races with the wind
That we ran together
What we did together
Hoping that love
Would be offshore
A beach story
Mixed with sand and water
In a seashell
The sail of a boat
Which swayed
On the edge of the sun

MY WET ORIGAMI
03:16
|
|||
|
I went out walking with my wooden spade gathering flowers to wear in my braid
I stumbled up to a garden of graves, I picked a rose climbing through the locked gate
Redder than a feather of a cardinal wing
I took it home and I tied it up with string
Dried it and I rolled it in the shape of a ring
Mailed it in a letter addressed to the King
Where have you gone, my other?
Haven't you felt the same way too?
I have been patiently waiting for something
Send me a letter, a pigeon, a clue
Lashes from my eyelids off my fingertips float
While I drift down the Ashley in my little paper boat
My wet origami has been keeping me afloat
Until it spit me out right in the mouth of her moat
Circling the castle of your Queen of Spades
I'll be swimming here forever in the figure of 8
Where have you gone, my other?
Haven't you felt the same as me?
It's been a long time, my brother
This isn't how it was meant to be

ARCH OF MISERY

I pray your heavy sky'd break free while i willingly cave it in on me
Let it carve a deep crater at my feet and tectonically swallow all of me
And like a fireball to the center of Earth i'd fall, through death and rebirth i'd crawl, erased and then reinstalled
Until that final pass, when love has been learned at last
Forgiven of our trespass, effortless in our grasp
So may your fears then slip like grains of sand through slits in both of my hands and drift far from your brain that splits
Into both flesh and soul, two parts of one shared whole, explode the dense black hole, empty until made full
I believe in James Willy
Come find me, the Arch of Missouri
In a molten pit, upon my two hands I sit, forcing myself to quit, ridding my mind of it
Until its truth I know, balance my joy and woe, taken in undertow
Learned to love and let go
I believe in James Willy
Come find me, the Arch of Misery

ADDISON

Addison—
there’s something dark about the way you took your garbage out
Now, I am not assuming
That you’ve been breaking rules or anything
But if I find you’re fucking up
It’s only fair I tell you
I’ve been sleeping in my car
I’ve been drinking at the bar
I’ve been seeking out attention from those things that get me off
Now, I cannot pretend to be dumb or innocent
So we can drop it all
Charlie, I mean Charlie baby, ain’t it obvious?
I could make you come
I could make you come to grips
With all your polar opposites
Tie a rope around my wrists
I live without—
turn off the light and lock the door on your way out

EASY

When I have little dreams about you babe
I wonder, what do you wanna say?
I wonder, how you do it?
The way you held my hand so easily
You want me
I even want you back
But it’s not that easy, is it now?
Or isn’t it?
How is it?
So easy now?
How is it so easy now?
When I call on you, babe,
That’s on me
My smile does a 180
An actor and his craft
A real starfucker
And if you ever wanted me to want you
Well, I never wanted that
It’s not that simple is it now?
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?
How is?
How is it?
Easy now?
How is it so easy now?

YANKEE

Yankee Doodle was a well respected man
He was always lending all of us pretty girls his hand
I caught him sleeping with his fist shoved down his pants
Color me bad, I woke him up, and I took a chance
Sunday morning I went swimming in his pool
He fed me cherry tomatoes with his golden gardening tool
With just a pinch of salt and pepper
He could set my tongue to drooling
I’d let him have me anytime he wanted to
Eat his dead horse with a rusty silver spoon
He let me ride on its back in the direction of the moon
I always leave him wanting more inside his darkened little room
Douse his dirty sheets with the sweet smell of my perfume
In the garden red and black slithering snakes
Feed me apple after apple from their higher hiding place
With just a pinch of salt and pepper
He could set my tongue to drooling
I’d let him have me anytime he wanted to

Baby
Baby I am right here
Baby I’ve been waiting for
The writing in the foggy mirror
And lately
Lately I’ve been praying hard
Lately I can’t help but hear
The devil in the word of God
And maybe
Maybe you can feel it too
Baby, what are we to do?
Daydream and I think of you
Danger when I think of you
