When the roots of the tree are as cold as can be
When the wind and the sea are the moth and the bee When the rays of the sun lick your skin with its tongue, And the grass with its green And the grass with its green And the shine with its sheen And the shine with its sheen And the trains with their tracks, And the spines with their backs, And your sway with its slow And the wind with its blow, And your scream with its soul, I don't play rock and roll! And the people with their lungs And the people with their paws. If the sky were a stone made of lips made of bone, count my teeth to keep the time. |

I lost the gloves that my mother gave to me
While on my ways to the make believe sea And I lost the rings that my lover gave to me While on my ways to the Red Salt Sea Dadaladoo-rargh And I lost my ways to my happy pen club And ended up where I still can't say but I lost my favorite pen on the way And I lost my friend but that couldn't be I lost the friend who sang with me I lost my son but that couldn't be I lost the son who sat on my knee I lost my man but that couldn't be I lost the one who I let inside me And I lost my friend that my love and I shared While on my ways to the make believe cares Dadaladoo---rargh And I lost the tunes that stuck to my ears While on my ways to the make believe hears And I saw Sapiena she sang to the sea The only person left on the island was me Dadaladoo---rargh And I love the man who took care of me He owns the ship the Charles C. Leary Yes I love the man who took care of me |

I've never told this story to another living soul
For fear it might awaken and the story would unfold Candles in a courtyard and a paper colored cat While demos danced on feathers and cosmos held the hat Next came their profession and a paper colored purr An umber armed albino and the crowd began to stir I slid behind a linden to swallow what I'd seen I slid behind a linden and to swallow what I'd seen Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air And on the day you fall, whose name would you call The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow |

My friend has my favorite teeth
They bend backwards when she breathes And it whistles And sweetness is all sweetness was Bees are blackeyed birds that buzz And my love has my favorite ears They lean forwards when she hears Well evil is all evil was Birds are blue-eyed knees that buzz And i said oh michigan, michigan state How i'd love to live in you Oh i've never been to michigan state Still i'd wanna live in you And you can't talk without your tongue Don't try and drown without your lungs son Well my snail has my favorite slow The shell helps the snail still the skin lays low And if my snail has my favorite slow Then my cold has my favorite snow But if my snail's cold and comes to a halt Then my sea has my favorite salt The salt keeps the sea from feeling sweet And my toes have my favorite feet And if i sweat salt And the earth sweats heat Oh michigan, michigan state How i'd love to live in you I've never been to michigan state Still i'd want to live in you Michigan state state state state |

He told me himself
He's a gentle soul I saw for myself He's a gentle soul Camilla's a calming name Like windowing Camilla's a calming name Like windowing There's nobody else with your babe's little eyes This is number fourteen out of how many tries Your voice has a calming strain All whispering My voice wants to do the same oh brothering All alone in your zoo of numbers and clues Of colors and hues He told me himself He's a gentle soul |

Oh
There's a lot of love But not the kind I need Have you ever made soup-out-of pumpkin seeds There's a lot of skin and flesh i never should have seen There's too many half-ways-in-betweens There's a lot of stays I think i wish i'd done There's a lot of leaves my true love gave to me There's a lot of stays I think i wish i'd done There's a lot of leaves my true love gave to me There's a lot of birds That people like to draw There's a lot of sees I wish i never saw. There's a lot of birds That people like to draw There's a lot of sees I wish i never saw. |

Legless love and spider love
Webless love and fragrant mud Caked in birds, cased in words I buried your hair in a bed of swords I buried your legs in a knife less snake And I buried your songs in a drowning snail |
