Painting Clouds and Mountaintops

Enter mysterious creature Into the scene that has been set Upon arrival, takes off coat And many glances then have met A tissue study laid before it A grim persuasion was omitted It doesn’t have to smile for me to know And it carries with it many memories Of its father and its mother I will be a memory, too As really I am just an other Kiss me, bite me, I will live like you If you give me just a chance On a dark, mysterious dance My vampire spouse My vampire spouse Need not reply Need not reply And a fatal smile is all I want But I won’t get even a pity laugh And I’m lost, dumbfounded and confused The seas need part a golden staff A refuse basket by the shore A sea of garbage, cry no more It doesn’t care for right or wrong My vampire spouse My vampire spouse Need not reply Need not reply My vampire spouse My vampire spouse Need not reply Need not reply My vampire spouse My vampire spouse Need not reply Need not reply The blood of the covenant is thicker Than the water of the womb The blood of the covenant is thicker Than the water of the womb

I just met a guy I tell you, this will be the end of me again He’s so very nice I think I’m really fond of him I don’t know why And I feel butterflies And I feel very happy And I feel like I’m gonna throw up And I feel very angry And I thought when I was young That I’d love a girl And my head explodes It’s not a change of clothes Friend is boy And I don’t know what to say Is it right or wrong Calling him again today, no Friend is boy And I’m feeling very swell Is it good or bad I feel like I am in heaven Let me change the story It’s not about what you think it is anymore When I was a teen A friend I shared names with Told me a fun, fun fact And I feel like a pill bug And I feel very tiny And I feel like I’m gonna throw up And I think that I’m allergic To these tiny little bugs Are they even fish Seafood allergy It’s the allegory, OK Shrimps is bugs And I feel how my brain grows Are they even fish Or something else entirely Shrimps is bugs And they’re dirty animals I don’t want to eat them Cause I will probably die Something happened here The moves of civilization Great machinery Big things coming to The city, everyone moving Money laundering And I feel very frightened And I feel very powerful And I feel like I’m gonna throw up And I feel like a disaster is brewing Buy a ticket, book it And get out of town It doesn’t matter where I go Everywhere I go I know that Crane is moving When I am on holiday I’m away two weeks Get a call on the tenth day Crane is moving And I don’t know what to say Do you have insurance Cause your whole building’s collapsed Shrimps is bugs And I carry allergy medicine I am well protected by insurance Friend is boy And I’m sorry, friend who’s boy My whole building’s on the ground Can I stay with you

Dads play solitaire Moms play candy crush My socks don’t match And my brain is mush And everything is all-right There is love in here Deep inside my heart My songs are sung And my love for art Belongs here And everything is all-right But sometimes when the music stops I can hear myself thinking And all I do is pick up my guitar And I play a song again Baby goes to school Learns a thing or two Baby grows And gets a diploma And everything is all-right But sometimes when the music stops I can hear myself doubting That anything and everything Is all-right And sometimes when the music stops I can hear myself thinking And all I do is pick up my guitar And I walk away A million lies And you told your mom you’d help yourself And you told your dad you’d do the dishes And that you’d find a way to be alive One, two, three Count the stars above, count your blessings If this is what makes you happy Then maybe it’ll all work out If this is what makes you happy Then maybe everything is all-right

Dan and Louis live in a little shack Right in the middle of the woods Every morning when the cuckoo clock hits eight Dan goes to work, he’s never late Dan chops lumber, he’s a lumberjack Louis works at home, sat on his chair Cause he, on the other hand, is an artisan He sells his wares at the Sunday town’s fair Dance with me, I tell you, oh please To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Take my hand and never let go To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Dan gets home after a long, long day at work Louis has gone out to catch some fish A little later, he’s come back carrying trout They will prepare a hearty dish A couple drinks of wine and they are very happy Turn on the stereo and dance Their only audience are the nightingales Who sing their song from Germany to France Dance with me, I tell you, oh please To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Take my hand and never let go To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Sunday morning, and it's Dan’s day off work He goes with Louis to the fair Together, they set up a tent to sell Lou’s art It’s a sunny day, have a breath of fresh air Children come to listen to Dan’s accordion playing Everyone’s happy and prancing all about Dan takes Louis by the hands and sings with him And he says these words out loud Dance with me, I tell you, oh please To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Take my hand and never let go To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Dance with me, I tell you, oh please To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs Take my hand and never let go To the tune, the tune of our favourite songs

My old man listens to the marimba players on the street And he knows he has a dream So he spends all the money he saved for food and goes Out and buys pieces of wood My old man is stubborn and wears his slippers on the street Even polishes them like shoes Every time I say he is insane it’s 'cos I know This old man is quite the case His mind’s laid out just like a maze Even though his plans may seem crazy, they always work My old man cooks his spaghetti with cinnamon toast crunch And he doesn’t give a crap He says he hates how it tastes as he takes another bite and finishes it up My old man says to random people on the street, “come to my house” And that often worries me He builds marimbas every day and I just feel like I’m really going insane Sometimes I don’t want to be like him But if I am insane I guess I'm already there My old man has some quirks and doesn’t really understand Other people aren’t into new-age medicine and self-help books And dianetics and solar panel building And marimbas and e-bikes and poetry My old man isn’t getting any younger, yet he claims He’s planning on living an extra thirty years or so If that’s the case, he’ll be over a hundred years old And I’m really going insane And he isn’t getting any younger We’ll just have to put up with him For a little bit longer

I don't know how You could choose Out of an endless sea of fish I know it hurts But this is just Some infatuation I hold But when all of the seasons were changing I could only think of one thing Now the sun has set No more boundaries And I can hold onto you I don't know how We found this path But I will never turn my back on you regardless of the weather No, never

Feeling everyday Like I’m missing something larger Of old times way past And of memories long gone Sitting out ashore; at a sea of distant wonders I think of your warmth It’s like a memory calling; calling out for me And I close my eyes, wondering where You have gone, you’re in my heart Waking up again In a pool of my own sadness Questioning myself Over the mistakes we made I look at my world For a sign of your comforting love And all I find is a memory calling; calling out for me And I think again of the things you used to say And the world feels cold without your embrace And even though I hurt, The memory keeps me alive I went on a trip And I sailed the seven seas Meeting everyone With sunshine in my smile Every day and night, I can see you in my dreams And that’s just enough To keep me going; a memory calling Who am I other than you? Sitting out ashore; at a sea of distant wonders I think of your warmth It’s like a memory calling; calling out for me I woke up today And I didn’t cry this time I think of your warmth It’s like a memory calling; calling out for me

I see you often in my dreams I talk ‘bout you with all my friends But I’m afraid that you might see me somewhat just of odds and ends When I’m walking in the park, when I’m buying groceries I hum to your songs’ sweet melodies And I don’t know what to do, if I ever meet you I will probably collapse, could I maybe please hug you? I’m in love with a rockstar, baby I’m one of many guys and ladies Who dance to your music night and day You’ll never love me; there’s no way My friends call me and tell me rockstar is in town When I think ‘bout seeing him, my heart just pounds and pounds I buy tickets to go and see him play live I’m in the front row; he will see me dance tonight I’m in love with a rockstar, baby He’s so talented and sexy Tonight I will dance till my body gives out While he sings his heart out Suddenly, his music stops and He comes down from the stage He looks at me, and only at me, and Yells out, “I love you” Now we spend every moment together Every day’s a new adventure I didn’t know what to do, But now I know I’m yours I’m in love with a rockstar, baby The kind that hugs me every morning And lets me know that I’m the only one for him I’m in love with a rockstar, baby The kind that loves you back; it’s crazy I’m in love with a rockstar, baby And there’s nothing you can do when you’re in love

There lived a dog long ago Who wanted to touch the sky But his luck was gone and so were his friends He could only gaze up at night One day he closed up the door And left his home all by himself He said, “I will travel and touch the sky; I won’t let this dream sit on the shelf.” Along the way, he met a mouse The mouse let him stay at his house He said, “You can’t touch the sky.” And the dog replied, “Well, I might as well just try.” The both of them came up with a plan Not before having some flan The mouse said, “I’ll build some wings, So you can fly and maybe touch the sky.” A dog’s flying above your head now He says he’ll touch the fucking sky And all you care ‘bout are my problems You should go fly a kite The dog’s flying up in the air He doesn’t want to come down As he’s flying, the mouse steals all his junk and Runs away from the scene Then it started to pour rain A bolt of lightning hit the dog Guess you can’t touch the sky, but maybe The sky itself can touch you instead A dog’s flying above your head now He says he’ll touch the fucking sky And all you care ‘bout are my problems You should go fly a kite A dog’s flying above your head now He says he’ll touch the fucking sky And all you care ‘bout are my problems You should go fly a kite A dog’s flying above your head now He says he’ll touch the fucking sky

When all else fails, what do you now? When you’re cornered by ghosts and monsters Do you punch them right in the face? No, you won't. You won't They could bite you, they could punch back They could do many things that you’d never want So what do you do when you confront them? Well… Well, what then? You give them a look with your eyes Then you close in on them Then you kiss them right on the lips And as they’re stunned, you run away Run away with me now from the fate and ghosts we met Dance tonight with me now, and shine your love on me Run away with me now from the fate and ghosts we met Dance tonight with me now, and shine your love on me Dance tonight with me now, and shine your love on me

Funny cartoon animals Chasing you up and down You think you can’t get rid of them Stuck forever in Toontown They’ll never leave your head Those zany, crazy men You can just forget about them They’ll never torture you again Throw an anvil onto their heads; make em eat a bomb and explode You can crush their bodies with a piano, but don’t forget about them Cuz you can’t kill a toon but if you forget about them, then they will die It isn’t good for them Or their pay-or-play contracts Animation studios only love them For the money they bring, that’s just facts They’ll get kicked out and then They’ll build a new career But with no one to laugh at them They will all just disappear Throw an anvil onto their heads; make em eat a bomb and explode You can crush their bodies with a piano, but don’t forget about them Cuz you can’t kill a toon but if you forget about them, then they will die Throw an anvil onto their heads; make em eat a bomb and explode You can crush their bodies with a piano, but don’t forget about them Cuz you can’t kill a toon but if you forget about them, then they will die Throw an anvil onto their heads; make em eat a bomb and explode You can crush their bodies with a piano, but don’t forget about them Cuz you can’t kill a toon but if you forget about them, then they will die

Get up and get out of bed Put on your suit Not that one, the other one Brush your teeth You’re running late Jump downstairs Catch your bus before it’s eight You get home, you’re all worn out Dunno how, but there’s someone else inside It’s a little funny animal He comes near and he takes you by the hand And he opens up a little hole in the ground And he tells you, “Come with me!” You don’t really hesitate as you take his hand And then you find yourself to be In the land of funny animals Where you’re never late You’ll always be on time In the land of funny animals They’re always partying And dancing all around In the land of funny animals Where everyone’s noses are big and red Land of funny animals You’re forever here But you don’t wanna go back In the land of funny animals You’re in the land of those funny animals In the land of funny animals You’re in the land of those funny animals In the land of funny animals You’re in the land of those funny animals In the land of funny animals You’re in the land of those funny animals

Bandages cover his legs, and soft red hair his head He doesn’t speak that much He fell off his board a lot while trying to impress Impress the boy he loves It’s always been like this; can’t tell him what he feels He’s scared he’ll break his dreams But it’s a given anyway cause he has a girlfriend And he’ll never realize He could break his heart and leave him all alone Why would he want to be friends after that? One day he came alone. His girl broke up with him And moved to Tennessee He couldn’t go with her. He ended up alone Alone with his best friend He said he loved him more than he loved her Then the lonely boy tried to kiss him He pushed him back and told him he wanted to be left alone “Well, you surely screwed this one up, didn’t you?” He came back the next day and said, “I’m sorry I pushed you and called you names.” “I have never kissed a boy, but maybe I’d like to try… to try with you again.” Our lonely boy smiled at him, and took him by the hand He never let it go People see them all the time when they go and skate at night They skate holding hands
