Wink 02:59
while the sun's looking down on my face can't erase darker days start to bleed turn away and she stares at the walking fetus brain out the window takes her time stays inside now to find too keep compony on my side always open ceiling lights figure drawings come to life upon hours upon nights the moon comes rising up and glows upon the sea milky ways start to glaze shooting pistols and grenades so baby give me all your love and charm tonight cause i can feel the alcohol is getting thinner in my blood too keep compony on my side always open ceiling lights figure drawings come to life upon hours upon nights too keep compony on my side always open ceiling lights figure drawings come to life upon hours upon nights

Candles 02:58
meaty liver filled with flies choking smokers come on by covered up in burning hair blasted off on jupiter loaded stomach liquor store throw a sucker in the door peel the tag off rip the wrap breaking up that cut in half blow the candle out smothered in the dark blow the candle out smothered in the dark big fat cupid in the air throws his arrow stumbles far silver tuner up in gear nitro walker melting smear she don't care much she just stares strap them to electric chairs glossy flapping muddy lips shriveled pile full of dibs blow the candle out smothered in the dark blow the candle out smothered in the dark

in her hand was a spare of change spins a quarter and calls for his name she says johnny decides to run away never said if he'll come back today today while the wind blows hard in the night jenny sneaks through the city ghost tide like a diamond cut in the sky changing nothing no one could find could find

Big Blue Eye 02:22
your pretty big blue eyes they shine above the ceiling vents so high these layers are thickening every movement in your brain and i heard what you said dangling on a thread and all that they suppose sometimes never slows never slows the velcro in your flannel shirt its so itchy all the time with that flakey little friend is gonna bug you all night long and i heard what you said dangling on a thread and all that they suppose sometimes never slows never slows
10.
how far's the sun how far's the sun static in my head static in my head i'll never know i'll never know so let it shine so let it shine so let it shine so let it shine and i'll be waiting at the door and ill be sitting here once more when plastic melts into a mold when people manipulate whats told with flashing gloss throughout the glim with time i change but can't cave in i understand what i needed i understand that you can see i understand that you can see i understand that you can see i understand that you can see i understand that you can see i understand that you can see

Honeydew 03:23

End 03:49
with the lines on the paper and the circles in your head winding down on the castle near the end near the end something catches up the king when the jokers on the run and the shoreline hits the castle sinks the wisemen in the sand its the end its the end of the story that is told from the end of the song to the palms of your hands could've left it off the paper make you wonder how it ends does he know what to say does he feel something blue so what happened to the queen is she dead in the end she was out picking berries was for fun fun for some precious little eyes role back like pearls come to life in the ocean in the ocean does it happen all the time its the end its the end of the story that is told from the end of the song to the palms of your hands could've left it off the paper make you wonder how it ends does he know what to say does he feel something blue
