Bittersweet Feathers

Beyond ties to temporal perception {and}
Under my veil of pointless platitude {I}
Say it so sweetly, just hold me {no, no, no, no, no, no}
Go find another, I won't be abused
Use me for money, free drugs and pleasures
If my rides good {well} don't sweat the measures
You had to take to placate my betters
Smother me Softly in those Bittersweet Feathers
Laugh at my problems, I know they're implied
I'm Under control, I'm not satisfied
I'm Drowning, I'm Burning the pain from inside {well}
It's another sad fact I just can't hide
Beyond ties of temporal deception...

Prawn Song

Scrapin' and a scrappin' {I was}
Struttin' and a strappin'
All in my neighbors lawn
Just try and think it thru
Wonder what I'm gonna do
With forty pounds of stolen prawn {and}
That's when I met her
But I bet I upset her {'cause I}
Sent her streakin' thru the dawn
Well, how the dew
Looks fine on you
And it makes for a damn good song {so}
Come on everybody help me sing along
Lets all watch the pretty women dance
And drink until the dawn//Hold out till the dawn
Chasin' and a racin'
All over creation
'Cause I thought I mighta' found the one
Stoppin' and a floppin'
My mouth went droppin'
'Cause I saw her lyin' naked in the sun
Twistin' and turnin'
My heart starts burnin'
It's days before we're done {oh}
Too bad she's yappy
And a little slap-happy
'Cause that body was a whole lotta' fun
It's OK, anyway you slice it
But don't think too hard, it don't make much sense
It's all OK, Come on, dance the night away
But hold on too tight, it'll slip thru your hands
Like so many grains of sand

On My Mind

Say goodbye one more time
Another diluted mumble, then I resign
{Just} say goodbye one last time
You're on my mind
All, of the time
Thinking of a settled score
The packing of your bags, and the night before
Looking back and wanting more
In the fleetin' evenin' when we caught those stares
Where we made dreams, and cast our cares
To the Wind, To the Wind
Where you smashed that bottle when I said those words
The moon cried blood, and I walked toward
A new day, A new day {dawn}
You know you say that you love me,
And you kiss me like something else

Call Me Thief

Ultimatums, Allegations, Altercations, Reparations
I told you once, my hearts been broken
So I don't mind when you give me grief
And It's old news my hearts been stolen
So I don't mind when you call me thief
It don't burn when ya call me sinner
Can't say I've been called a saint
And it ain't often I'm called winner
So let's at least get one thing straight...
