Lyrics by Eli Wallis;
Peach Schnapps and no coat
mother of wands now that's,
that's your hope
it's not so much but I can guarantee
that the griffon is incident free
you said one day I'll realize,
how much like a cloud you know and the sun,
you also said."will you please send me, my twelve dollars back?"
dream of friends you left behind
dream of life being lived blind
you gotta dream, dream like a bird
dream like a bird...
" please send me my twelve dollars back?"
"please send me my twelve dollars back?"
Peach schnapps and no coat
mother of wands now that's,that's your hope
it's not much but I can guarantee that the griffon is incident free
dream of friends you left behind
dream of of a life lived blind

His Cane

Lyrics by Eli Wallis:
you said I could never love you
the way that you love me
I think that's true cause
God knows I'm dead inside
if god is the shepherd then what is his cane?
is it the look in your eyes as I lie down
is it the price of rent in Vancouver
and Jesus was a lonely man
I wanna live in someone else's home
cause god knows I can't make my own
I'll get bored and wanna watch it burn
yeh I get down and wan to burn it all
and Ravachol was a lonely man
yeh Ravachol was a lonely man

Song to Ishmael
03:46
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Eli Wallis:
a song his mother sung to
small dim school gymnasiums
when he was just a twinkle
of notes so soft in the keys
joyful plinkplonk ringing out
in the upper classes of a dim school gymnasium
piano somewhere outside
montgomery aldergrove
home of the gators or else
some dusty bible belt church
basement or hall dim besides
pianos have no notion
of christs or peters small whites
and blacks keys under smaller hands
imagining dancing gators
not square some sorta
rectangular rhomboidic
shapes who've never been to church

Jars of Emotions
07:48

|
Lyrics by Eli Wallis:
You were reading numbers in the dark
to trick your brain and plant a seed
so much of life lost to sleep
i'd like to see your integer dreams
sometimes i wonder if your mind has a row for human faces
in all the shelves of formulas
the hidden jars of your emotions
Isaac, oh Isaac, i've never heard God
Isaac, oh Isaac, let me be your ram
Oh Isaac don't you know your book 'll be read aeons from now
remember for your genius, not as the little lamb who lived
have you seen an axe of gold?
have you tread your mother's basement?
do you believe in heaven?
is that why your body scars you?
Isaac, oh Isaac, don't worry about your brother
he never was born, he never suffered
Isaac, oh Isaac, ah God, Ah God,
two days should be so soon
Shelves of formulas, shelves of formulas the hidden jars of emotions
you were reading numbers in the dark
to trick your brain and plant a seed
so much of life lost in sleep
i'd like to see your integer dreams
sometimes i wonder if your mind has a row for human faces
in all the shelves of formulas
the hidden jars of you emotions

Lyrics by Eli Wallis:
honking geese flying northeast
for some reason even though
the morning is cold and clear
not quite frost but we'll be there
yet how invigorating, yet how invigorating, yet how invigorating
the remnants of last night's rain
so clear and cold in morning
gloom from a ceiling sky
with honking geese between us
some reason you glow
clear, clear, clear
how invigorating
honking geese flying northwest
for some reason even though
the morning is cold and clear
not quite frost but we'll be there
yet how invigorating

Don't Wana Stop
04:18

Lyrics by Eli Wallis:
three burns on his hands. like Orion's Belt
what scars you now?
don't you know the myth?
you're not a god of war
you just look like one
those are not battle scars
that's just how that cat loves
you said, "I don't wanna stop"
can you feel the change?
it's warm enought for rain
fog billows from the snow
and you just,
you just don't know
in the wind on the oval
in that sheeran song
in your bedroom eyes
where we talked all night long
you said, "I don't wanna stop"
