The Rosalin Eyes Coughin’ to the coffin Cinnamon rocks The streets are all empty No faces on the block There goes your city From marble to dust Yes I could find the key But I couldn’t find the lock Lately, you seem so busy No time to adjust the clock For it all seems so easy When you live under a rock Churches to the dark age Made it to the tenth stage And everywhere I go The Rosalin Eyes They follow

Mystery Salt 01:47
Mystery Salt Your way is the only way And your faults are the only faults Always get in the way as if I was a ghost Scared bird and dusty mats Shiny old suit and a dirty mac Always seems so sincere to unveil your own lies Must have been the silent notes Must have been the mystery salt Must have been the reason why we got so tight Must have been the sublime highs Must have been the Motown raps Must have been the reason why we got so tight Urban slang, much in demand Caps sideways and a Southwest tan And in my scene you always end up mine

A Lonely Crowd Sometimes I was just walking alone in the lovely crowd Sometimes I was just walking alone in the lovely crowd Like it was something courageous All shades of nervous And the passers by Are distant lovers Sometimes I was just walking along in the lonely crowd The train did leave so fast we could not have said goodbye So goodbye girl, I’ll miss all your curves I’ll miss all your eyes and I’ll miss all your words And I’ll stay put and unfazed With strangers stumbling around Through avenues of pity You didn’t understand I must have been mumbling why Cuz the way out is the same as the way

The Living’s in the Liver Come and if this love’s an indication I shall be free from all devotion Oh how I thought you’d change your mind At least one time Yeah come, and if coke looks like potion You ought to change your medication How I thought you’d change your mind At least one time Claire goes and she’s impressed by the way it goes So far at par with all her highest expectations Come and if the loving is in the lovers Then the living is in the livers Oh how I thought you’d change your mind At least one time Yeah Claire goes and she’s impressed by the way it goes So far at par with all the highest expectations Expectations…

Song for Mikaela Hey kid, not even born Your feet are so tiny Ants look like dinosaurs Hey kid, you contemplate Cathedrals in your mother’s heart Standing on he stage Hey kid, your father’s voice Gently singing songs All your movements are in tune Hey kid, with the spirit of your elders The universe is on your tongue Seems it found a shelter Hey kid, the whole world is waiting For the curls in your letters And the letters in your name Hey kid, before you step and run Before you run and dive This will be the one Hey kid

Lost in the Glow This Time No stringer can fix the living’s only weight I guess I’m only crazy To enjoy this type of fix Can’t choose your state Strings like Johnny Pate Town clock’s five minutes late And I can’t decide where to go tonight Yeah it’s in the ebbs and los alright I came so long ago to find That’s it lost in the glow this time No singer can sing such melodies in the rain I guess I’m only crazy All flowers in bloom All dropped in gloom And the groom, soon And I can’t decide where to go tonight Yeah it’s in the ebbs and los alright I came so long ago to find That’s it lost in the glow this time It’s lost in the glow
8.
The Thought of You When You’re Away Ministers, talismans, canisters, complicate The thought of you when you’re away On the spot, in the shade, polka dots, punctuate The thought of you when you’re away Holy smoke, moving trains, false idols, allocate The thought of you when you’re away Sepia tones, halls of fame, ran all night, walked all day To the thought of you when you’re away
9.
A Comma in a Sea of Broken Souls Imagery conveyed by drama Wasn’t long ago I don’t know Holding on to your karma Is it time to go? I don’t know Wait right here ‘til I holler No one told you so I don’t know Second-guessing kinda lover Yeah, dipping just a toe I don’t know Butterfly from a larva At least that’s what it shows I don’t know Seems to me it’s just a comma In a sea of broken bones

Snow on Postcards from New Delhi The cavalry lost the horses in motion The sadder the loss, the deeper the notion When woken up by things unexpected Don’t jump the bed like intercepted And the more you use the more you depend There ain’t no conclusion for this kind of end The more you receive the more you send When it’s too real, just pretend Cuz soul can’t be found in a dictionary Ain’t a picture in a box of Pictionnary You thought it was something ordinary Snow on postcards from New Delhi
11.
It Takes a Long Time to Remember Your Name It takes a long, long time to remember Give it a second thought, just a single shot These days it rains from July to September Lasts so long so gonna write a song In this kind of dreams baby you lose your guard You climb the fences, little offences And is love just a dream in which you rob a guy For his true intentions It takes a long, long time to remember Your name How long does it take for friends to become lovers In this day and age, what’s the page? These days it rains from July to September Lasts so long, so gonna write a song

Dirty Chromosomes Lost in the zone, dusty chromosomes Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye Fell in a trap, a strange kind of rap Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye A hole in a hole, a soul without a soul Yeah ain’t no lie, she said goodbye A different kind of rule, is it kind of is it cruel Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye The cops have all been paid Transactions with no words said Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye On a special type of diet Better keep it outta sight Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye Like an actor without a role Like a stripper without a pole Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye Blisters on my fingers, hipsters on the singers Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye Lost in the zone, dusty chromosomes Ain’t no lie, she said goodbye Fell in a trap, a strange kind of rap Ain’t no lie
