We don't necessarily put our vocals to the forefront of our songs because we like it that way, but sometimes I do wish some of the words were more understandable, so I figured I'd put some up.

STATUETTE
Virginia's in the shopping malls
Bethany's on mirrored sand
Maria's lost in the morning sick with that bug
David's in his song and paintings
and Katherine's in the pictures again
Oh behold little statuettes
A Density of skeletal trees
resembles something like a fog
or a garden of parking meters
and all the school kids in their swim suits
of blue, green, and gold,
standing naked legged at the
island's edge
Oh behold little statuettes
Almond eyed
and precious palmed
you were girl with
fingers too long
and always my
second night time
you were splashed
in appropriate black
NO FUN
And oh, I don't remember what they said to me
When I didn't know they were too cool to care
and too strait to dare
And now, all of the truths are just drenched in dreams
And all of the words like tooth teeth and lips
are all just pheromone
And it seeps down around your knees
Cause baby we're just bloated beasts
With eyes sunk so deep in our skulls
We were dead long ago
Don't you know
And now, all of the pulls are just sucker punch
So take what you can
Cause baby you're a loaded gun
And I've been trying so very hard to let it go
But you're too cool to care
And too strait to dare
I saw fire he was dealing out a dull dose
And some say he sings
But brother he just bleeds
SAFEWORD
These are the Trojan fires
burning beggars in the street
And you can put your head down baby
but don't fall asleep
Because we're living every day like it can't get any worse
Yeah it's a plan that takes a body from the bed to a hearse
And the feeling now is all too absurd
Come on baby say the safeword
You build a troubled fortune
on the bodies that you break
When the things that you kill are the same
as the things that you take
And all the crazy kids keep squinting while they stare at the sun
And when the night comes around they think they've finally won
And the feeling now is all too absurd
Come on baby say the safeword
And I'd like to get to know you if you know what I mean
Plug into your TV screen
FRIENDSHIP ROAD
Who will take it, who will take it, who will take it, now it's gone, gone, gone...
CATHEDRAL BLUES ONE
She wore blonde khaki threads
where hair should've been,
and all the world's alright.
Foot steps of unbearable brush;
Maria you step so soft,
and all the world's alright.
Like breaths snake past my teeth
too soft and out of reach,
and all the world's alright.
CATHEDRAL BLUES TWO
He sat down to the war
roses spread out in his palms
and said, "Now somewhere,
I've seen your face.
You smoke red cigarettes,
out of time and out step;
the California sun is so seasonal."
He came into the room
exhaling French perfumes
and said, "now somewhere, I heard your name."
he smoked black cigarettes
outta time and outta step
the California sun’s so seasonal.

your red hair and hot mouth draped softly over your shoulder
He came into the room
exhaling French perfumes
and said, "now somewhere, I seen your face"
he smoked red cigarettes
outta time and outta breath
the California sun’s so seasonal.
oh David
your smile’s so smug
have you ever seen pacific sun?
It’s red hair and hot mouth draped softly over your shoulder

ME & YOU CHERRY RED
I rode a horse named David
down to Water St.
got fucked up and lost at sea
but hooked in isles of Bethany
I slept across the shore
became a boat obese with holes
let the water kiss my ankles
and give gifts to my toes
Virginia rode like rolling stone
into a city of trees
and Katherine played in the ocean spray
while Maria kept trying breathe
I slept across the shore
became a boat obese with holes
let the water kiss my ankles
and give gifts to my toes
