don’t you run from the alpha b you’ll wind up locked in the basement bunny start your royal parade alpha b alpha b for everyone to see as your hand hits the waves alpha b alpha b conjure up fantasy don’t you dare use that key the cat was killed out of curiosity that mark will never come off kitty and you’ll end up with the ones you'll see start your royal parade alpha b alpha b for everyone to see as your lace hits the waves alpha b alpha b conjure up poetry don’t you go anywhere phony i’ll eat you up for breakfast i’ll rip your eyes out for me to be your one and only parade possessor possessed i’ll blend you piece by piece til you’re gatorade pandora’s dilemma’s to be picking apples on the way alpha b’s fire’s in the orchard where mortals’ bones burn away in a pagan rite she eats my heart out alpha b stings every cell stabs all numbness away

all brought back one by one as if one wasn't enough coming altogether clandestines on board my train coming out of their hide and screaming so loud to welcome their latest friend i’m all out of feathers all plucked to the bone add one more dice to my game more random harder to tame defiant cold and blood-stained further away from my name i'm chill so chill wheel and deal i’m all out of feathers all plucked to the bone i’m all out of feathers all plucked to the bone

the hum of a thousand songs all playing at once in perfect balance a piece of wonder worth contemplation it's just a game i'll let it go to waste i'll put the blame on greener grass greenest symptom you're the catalyst top of my black list tincan should I fight will you cool down my spine at night tincan tincan who is the fairest one of my tincan will you provide blinkers for my plight it's such a shame for it to go to waste i'll take the blame to greener grass greenest symptom you're the catalyst top of my black list amiss make some sense out of this i wish time won't stop flying by what was there isn't now amiss make some sense out of this i wish time won't stop flying by what was there isn't

Death By Hula 04:06
lyrics

it's in waves crushing and tall it's catching your breath in the midst of a storm settling there in in endless glassy lakes til i roll it awake kick it awake hula take me home curl on my crushed bones hula i'm so alone gravitate that heart of stone i can feel the seconds go by wrapped clockwise around my back swinging round my neck hula dress me in blue shoulders hips elbows too hula give me that voodoo and take me home curl on my crushed bones hula i'm so alone gravitate that heart of stone it's too close or too far no middle ground got nowhere to go now might as well go round now roll my way out of town might as well go round now roll my way out of town

the city of greed is full of surprises pride and shame it hosts all sorts of sins and its hunger rises how nice Peru must be though I guess I'll never see prolific pearl never conquered always feared swallow your burden til all's disappeared though nothing is lost all is created how nice Peru must be though I guess I'll never see how mighty fine Peru must be while here I am caught up in a frenzy in Lima empty and fulfilled in Lima the pit's never filled three times crowned, well mine is bare though the tyrant is alive and well don't you dare come and visit for nothing will be left to repair how nice Peru must be though I guess I'll never see how mighty fine Peru must be when wolves are asleep not out on a spree

i want the sparks to come alive under my fingers fly and dive maybe lick my hands on the way i want to see it catch before you can count to ten and burn baby burn i want to see them rise and gobble up i want to be made alive and choked up punch me bite me rip my lungs out i want to never know if i'll ever come back and burn baby burn the count is so slow time might as well stop 80 3 5 16 i might just drop this mesmerizing match like a seal and give everybody some real thrill and burn baby burn

clinging to the branches of my poison oak its venimous stroke my lonely mind relentless for a steaming folk godawful lawlessness deafening science rumour has it that my heart's out on a hunt who's betting on you clingy ghost rumour has it that my heart's out on a hunt who's betting on you clingy ghost black out intoxicated contagious and low twist of ivy rogue my messiah a sinner in the nether imperfect mirror of trial and error rumour has it that my heart's out on a hunt who's betting on you clingy ghost rumour has it my heart's always out on a hunt who's betting on you clingy ghost my poison oak its venimous stroke my lonely mind relentless for a smokescreen joke godawful lawlessness

it's akin to liquid smoke break that dark bottle spill it all over the floor pull factor roll around in sharp glass just to get a taste it's out of sight out of mind for every line there's a catch it's out of reach in plain sight i can't think on the brink lips stained with ink in the dark stuck on that ride up and down out of sight out of mind for every line there's a catch leave me anywhere i can feel every mile over and under and down the edge of the world never swears to leave us safe and sound what's sweeter than your feet so far from ground are they alive those who keep going round my lungs itch i get this teenage glitch i don't want to think don't want to know when i'll end up in the ditch i'm stuck in slowmo it's out of sight out of mind for every line there's a catch it's out of reach in plain sight out of sight out of mind for every line there's a catch leave me anywhere i can feel every mile over and under and down the edge of the world never swears to leave us safe and sound what's sweeter than your feet so far from ground are they alive those who keep going round
