she said i’m not leaving you today I have learned some tricks along the way knowing when to show your hand and knowing when to hide and seek the things to keep our peace of mind I said I’m not leaving, either you said k I mean it’d still be nice if you tried to make me stay though I can’t deny there’s times I’d slip and slide on down the line but I always knew that you were my peace of mind peace of mind, peace of mind You’ve been out wandering for some time Won’t you come home and we can make something fine Instead of stealing my peace of mind Lone coyote called out late last night Right before the moon dropped out of sight My horoscope said hey you dope quit looking for a sign. just be satisfied with your peace of mind peace of mind, peace of mind You’ve been out wandering for some time Won’t you come home and we can make something fine Instead of stealing my peace of mind

the night I was born the eye of the storm how high’s the water, mama and when I came of age Left of center stage Trying to avoid the drama hold on to things that float that give you hope make you leave the kitchen light on move out of the past we know that nothing lasts everyday we choose to fight on Last night, I saw your friend, tried to pretend that I wasn’t asking about you It was awkward though Trying not to show I’m still learning to live without you

Half awake on the lawn, by the lake and long gone maybe nobody will notice rebus above us you see, no place that I’d rather be trying to figure why they float It’s a lazy day laying around Looking up at the clouds It’s a Rorschach afternoon in the summer There’s the General Lee painted by georgia o’keefe a confederate clitoris a mechanical bear in a Mondrian square spring peepers sing a chorus I move my hand slowly over feeling lucky lying in the clover It’s a Rorschach afternoon in the summer the whole world is falling apart but i’ve got you and that’s a good start won’t you take me down to where the trees grow tall and there’s no one else around Shastakovich’s fifth she said it sounds like a soviet elliott smith it’s a rorshach afternoon, and the evening comes too soon it’s a Rorschach afternoon in the summer

Eight years old, wearing a costume that my mother sewed Throwing candy to passing strangers as we ambled down the road Behind the marching band, two miles an hour God I feel like the GOAT I’m lifted up by the cheers and hollers This ain’t no ride, man, it’s a float Local boy makes good on dream, Local boy makes good on dream I was ET with a satin heart and a fingertip of red Doing my moves for passing strangers, letting it all good to my head Local boy makes good on dream, Local boy makes good on dream Local boy makes good on dream, Local boy makes good on dream What have you got there? Reeses Pieces Hey guys, ET’s got Reeses Pieces Local boy makes good on dream, Local boy makes good on dream . . .

Fearsome worm with scales of white Have you heard of Cryovain? Keeps the children up at night Cryovain, Cryovain! Give them nightmares, give them chills Cold and cruel Cryovain Frigid gaze and iron will Cryovain, Cryovain! Icy doom from way up high Mighty, mighty Cryovain! Freezing terror rules the sky Cryovain, Cryovain! Roaring echoes through the night Close the shutters, lock them tight! Quiet now don’t make a sound Dragons prowling all around! Hide your cattle, hide your goose Hungry, hungry Cryovain! Cryovain is on the loose Cryovain, Cryovain! Bearing down, with prey in sight Salivating Cryovain Cryovain will feast tonight Cryovain, Cryovain! He will freeze them without fail Frosty, frosty Cryovain! Cover them with ice and hail Cryovain, Cryovain! Blast them all with sleet and snow Feel the bitter northwind blow. Flying off with prize in hand Cryovain is in command! Scatter, people in the streets Here comes mighty Cryovain! Bringing death to all he meets Cryovain, Cryovain! Landing in the village square Bring your gold to Cryovain Don’t you stop and don’t you stare Cryovain, Cryovain! Run inside and lock the door You can’t hide from Cryovain! Pay him tribute, he wants more Cryovain, Cryovain! Turn the fields to permafrost Bend the knee or all is lost! (If) you refuse Lord Cryovain, You elect the way of pain! Try to trick or double cross Mighty, mighty Cryovain You will pay an icy cost Cryovain, Cryovain! Wintertide the whole year ‘round Fierce and famous, Cryovain! He can never be uncrowned Cryovain, Cryovain! Teeth as sharp as vorpal swords Winter worm called Cryovain! Claws as strong as minotaurs Cryovain, Cryovain! When he circles, way up high We all stare up at the sky When will Cryovain bring death? We all wait with bated breath!

People in kayaks kayaks in rivers rivers in forests forests in summer voices in treetops echo...voices birdsong and voices echo float away
