Mice Lyrics
I don’t understand why
Most of the time
I’m living my life all wrong
I felt nothing at all
The freedom of the fall
My smile is on the backseat, the back wall
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I’m tired
I’m tired
I can do things
No human can do
I can doubt myself and then I’ll doubt you
That’s nothing new
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I’m tired
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I’m tired
I’m tired
And the stars, they look like little mice
To me, I am my only vice
Sat on a dead man’s bench
The sun cools my neck
It covers my skin
The earth pulls me back
How ’bout that?
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I’m tired
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I’m tired
I’m tired
Blue Sea, Red Sea Lyrics
I stop and listen sometimes
Plug myself into your eyes
And I can see what you see and I like it
I’m a fish in a blue sea and I like it
But don’t pick on me with your sympathy
I don’t, I don’t need you to love me
Listen to the people who say
Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalalala
This snow is falling heavy
Wish my mother would come and get me
Forget all this makeup and fall in the red sea
Set the weight of each day like the leaves of our oak tree
But don’t pick on me with your sympathy
I don’t, I don’t need you to love me
Listen to the people who say
Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalalala
Everybody’s moving away
Lalalala, lalalala
Water pushes water away
Lalalala, lalalala
And it’s all good ’cause I feel it too
Hanging around with nothing to do
Make friends with the angels that blessed you
Maybe together we get in the good
Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalala
Betsy Lyrics
Heard you got the job
Hope it serves you well
Seems a good way out
Coffee ticket town
Your steady behaviour it’s all in your nature
I call you my neighbour at number 9
It’s alright now
Now, alright now
Take a generational bow
Are you calling out?
Bang bang baby you’re dead
Politics will mess with your head
Oh you voice of the people
You leader of evil
You messed up the church
Put a gun to the steeple
It’s wavy man
Man, wavy man
Running just as fast as you can
Are you ruined by the shake of a hand
Glory days are gone
Heaven knows we’re doing it wrong
Sleepy daydream boy
This world is no man’s toy
Now are you proud?
Take a generational bow
Are you calling out?
All feel better
We’ll all feel better
So much better
So much better
So much better
All feel better
So much better
All feel better
So much better
So much better
So much better…
Boxes Lyrics
Someday’s I feel that I am bigger than most
I don’t have the ego, I’m not one to boast
It is just I see the people
As part of the whole
It is just, I see the people in a big fish bowl
We are boxes on boxes
On boxes on boxes, haunted
And we have things we don’t need
We are with and without in the road
So damn tired of being a lady
So damn bored of being a girl
Then again
If we look at it plainly
I’d feel the same if I were a boy
It is not the weather for the market today
We just feel the pressure, the pressure of days
We are sat upon a table where the food is hot
We’ll be talking for hours and we’ll eat the whole lot
We are boxes on boxes
On boxes on boxes, haunted
And we have things we don’t need
We are with and without in the road
So damn tired of being a lady
So damn bored of being a girl
Then again
If we look at it plainly
I’d feel the same if I were a boy
I’d feel the same if I were a boy
Life is but a dream
I am just asleep
Floating
Tell me what you need
I am on my knees
Floating
Beautifully free
Life is good to me
Floating
Da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-dum
Floating
