Hotel Denalian

Put a record on
Put the needle down
Dance with the fear
Around and around
Feel the way it moves inside you
from your head to the ground
Feel the way it takes a good look around
Eat the notes and drink the sound
Dance with terror round and around
Despite the fight of the moon and the sun
Outside Hotel Denalian
I made my heart and my love one
She carries a sword I carry a gun
Despite the fight of the moon and the sun
Outside Hotel Denalian

Kiss

I live inside me like a roller coaster roller coasting
and on this bench made of wood and sound
I am not up and I am not down
I'm pretty sure both my feet are on the ground
But you are you're scared of me
You're an ant eater who's too sick to feed
what are you gonna do now you can't ant eat?
But I'm not scared of you
I'm a mild thrill seeker you're my hot air balloon
Take me up high I wanna see the moon
take me up high I wanna see your house
take me up high I wanna get a sun burn
Take me up high we're never coming down
I kissed you on the mouth
Just for today's trail would you lend me your mule?
Don't drink any water I'll pump all your fuel
I'll lean in your window and I'll talk sweet to you
Just for today's trail would you lend me, won't you lend me your mule?

Tom Fool Lover

We'll cook our chicken and potatoes
a smaller plate for you I guess
You snuck some on the side
well you deserve it you are the chef
Laugh loud back to your chair
don't you lean in don't you dare
Maybe I smile too big in pictures
and maybe I dress to nice for dinner
Don't hold my chest so tight with you arms
grab a sweater and I'll try to talk some sense into my body
What if It yells back at me what'll I do then
It's not this serious it's not this warm
take a cold shower with all your clothes on
drink a whole bottle of something strong
make sure it's strong
Your foolish lover
Your hair-brained lover
Your tom fool lover

Take Your Fill
03:43
|

|
I never thought wickedness on them
Those who brought all them bad dreams
I never tied that girl to the bed post
Though once I had her mine on hers and hers against the sink
Like a big sink
Like one you'd see in dreams
From time to time take your fill and then just leave
This time I'll taste that salty water
and soak up that shower's steam
I never talked so much about leaving
as the day before the day
I said I don't know Ben? maybe I should? okay I'll leave
If you ask for it to come then tell me why does it sting?
From time to time take your fill and then just leave
Like a big bee sting
Like one you see in your dream

If We Were Free

If we were free we might lose our way
Once we're gone we might lose our way
While I have you my dear
don't turn from me your ear
I could fall down on my knees
If any tighter our hands did squeeze
We stood naked in the court
As they judged and smirked
And we spoke no plea
Tell me is it so wrong that after months apart
I'll I've come to long for is to feel my hands on your hips
And to kiss your wedded lips
If we were free we might lose our way
Once we're gone we might lose our way
While I have you my dear
don't turn from me your ear
woman don't turn away from me
baby please

German Chocolate Cake

Cheers and applause let's show off some scars
It's the end of the year
Trucks driving all night to get to the daylight
it's just another year
We'll wake in the morning jump in the river
It's freezing cold
We'll start a good fire and warm up my big coat
and get back on the road
I loved you like I love the rain
but not like I love German chocolate cake
and I wanted you but not like I wanted to run away
Call me a big kid if you take off your church wig
I'll talk to you straight
Write off that sharp knife yeah just write off your whole life
'cause it's Jesus who saves
Yeah if he wants you happy then he'll make it sunny
it's been raining for days
I loved you like I love the rain
but not like I love German chocolate cake
and I wanted you but not like I wanted to run away
I'm going crazy locked in a maze
the size of a two story house
Will someone please help me?
I'll make you dinner if you just let me out
And we're all ears on how you plan to make a change
just start from the top
and work your way down to us
we've been lied to for years
and we're all fucking fed up
I loved you like I love the rain
but not like I love German chocolate cake
and I wanted you but not like I wanted to run away

Hailey hold your head up
show your crooked smile
Try not to choke on your own self pity
For all I care take the clothes from my back
and take 'em back
Don't wait too long
I can't hold this canon-ball any longer now
Call it drunken intuition
saved the papers from the fire
with your lack of inhibition
making your mother a liar
Hailey hold your head up
beautiful eyes for miles and miles
Don't wait too long
I can't hold this canon-ball any longer now
Your eyes are cold and spacey
Just a freezer full of air
I could have broken the awkward silence
If you'd shown me that you cared
Don't wait too long
I can't hold this canon-ball any longer now

Dog's Light
04:47
|

|
Don't be afraid the hail's just not that big
and I left a steel umbrella inside by the dog's light
that dog could eat any time of day
Don't be alarmed your arm fits in the sleeve
and there'll be plenty of time before the party
I left one by the dog's light
I left one by the door
and it's much too late to say good-bye
It's too late to ask for more

All Your Grace
03:21
|

|
It was good to see you darlin'
but in the end I must admit
that it was hard seeing I'd been erased
From where I'd settled on your fridge
It was good to eat like a king again
in the court of all your grace
but if I can't have you every day
I think I'd rather hear I've been replaced
And is it hard when you get into bed with him?
Or do you fit like a glove on his hand?
I know it's strange but I see your face in hers
and I close my eyes and wish you away
All your grace
