Put That Bronze
Red delicious for my baby,
Bed delicious for my body.
If you keep givin me that eye boy,
It's been a long, long time.
Open mouth and climb inside,
The life in his eyes is the life in mine
(You don't mind me saying that huh?)
The life in his eyes is the life in mine.
I was just slinkin’ down the street
in the jungle summertime.
Just thinkin about my life,
can't believe that I'm still alive.
After all those nights of
bloodied hands and banished eyes;
Those five o'clock shadows
against them three o'clock thighs.
Blackfoot sky will open wide
'till you feel the fear in thunder;
Sweet little candy have pity on faith,
How hard it must be to know only one way.
Pure jellybean prayer for the apple core of my eye,
Got a red delicious for my baby,
Bed delicious for my body.
I was just slinkin on down the street
in the jungle summertime
Jus' a thinkin about my life
can't believe that I'm still alive.
After all those nights of bloodied hands
and banished eyes--mannish cries, manic highs, and Spanish sighs;
Those five o'clock shadows against them three o'clock thighs
Go 'hed and put that.... (in) bronze

Do I love you just to normalize all that swims depthless and dark inside?
Do I love you just to neutralize the fear between the surface and the sky?
Sometimes it's so simple I look in the mirror and say, "Don't be stupid."
Animal eyes crying, the speed of your life is so needlessly blinding
Expectations caramelize
Leavin’ you a husk with a black eye;
Life is simple, dew drop bright,
Beggin’ us to say we will, not we might.
Sensible as a kite in branch strewn sky,
Don't be stupid.
Animal eyes crying, the speed of your life is so needlessly blinding
Animal eyes crying, the speed of your life is so needlessly blinding

We Rewind
Send back the letter babe,
I promise I won't tell.
Send back the letter babe,
the words were wrong I could never spell
The shards in your eyes,
As your hand cuts the sky when you're wavin’
Wavin’ goodbye.
Leavin me, why…
Set back your clock babe,
won't you sleep a little late?
Send back the letter babe,
I know you ain't got a thing to say
Bout the lost secrets of years past,
runnin’, fleein’ on horseback;
It don't take a long long time for history to rewind
And I won't go runnin to somebody who don't wanna love the way I do
For there's no refuge in somebody who don't wanna love the way I do
wanna love the way I do
wanna love the way I do

Ethel
For every pistol and every angry man,
Means one less way we could understand
The lessons she taught,
The fears she stole away
Those fangs which turned to sugar cane
at the mere mention of her name.
Pebbles in the riverbed never seem to mind
the river as it passes by;
But that we could learn this way of sayin’
Goodbye.
She'll flutter by when the sunlight hits my eye;
When decency is on my mind,
Whenever there is graciousness, anytime
She'll be alive,
Breathin’ through me.
Little butterfly passin’ by,
take my love up in the sky
Make of it a star, a beacon light
so she knows we're alright.
I don't know why
and that's just fine;
Cause those fangs still turn to sugar cane
at the mere mention of her name.
