Colours of our Love

Colours of our Love 
this is my rnr party song

Violet Stains on a Red Guitar
Violent Strains in the Bread Bazaar
the Bread Bazaar
the Bread Bazaar

Give it all that can and it’s astounding
Give me all that you have and take a pounding

Hate, hate, hate / hate the disarrangement
Sate, sate, sate / the need for entertainment

Red orange yellow of our love
Green blue violet of the lord above (x2)

One two / burden the floor
Gotta watch what you say if you want some more
Five six / something that sticks
You gotta check your head cuz you’re making me sick
C’mon

One two three four five six seven ate more
Say more (x3)

One two three / gonna set us free
Gotta four on the floor that’ll kill us all

Gotta six six sick and a nine one one
Not a soul on the boat but the going’s fun

Nighty night to the tethered dawn
Gonna make us sick of the evening song
C’mon!

One two three / gonna set us free
Gotta four on the wall that’ll kill us all

Nighty night to the tethered dawn
Gonna make us sick of the evening song

C’mon!


Green Blue Violet

Green Blue Violet

At the Tremble Away
In the Lockett Glade
In the crooked night

We sleep  / in our separate rooms
With the motel light / screams into our eyes

What we want
What we desire
What you thought would quell the fire

You're a star from afar
Get a drink from the bar
Indigent in the glow of day
By night they pay, to go away

Scream it out / A lovely day
Scream it out / It’s a lovely day we’re having

At the Tremble Away
Have our love explained / In light of fire
In the night desire

Go to sleep now / don't be scared
The night's a fog / that lifts at dawn

Shades of blue / I see you

Go to sleep now / don't be scared
The night's a fog / that lifts at dawn

What’s that shadow? 
Letting me in
Gone is the dream of smoke
that gauzed the fire
in the moonlight

A wax stallion mounts my brother

Violet Stains on a Red Guitar
Violent Strains in the Bread Bazaar
the Bread Bazaar

the Bread Bazaar

Polythene

Polythene

Dim the lights and forget our names
Row the boat over shadow's same
Wax the moon as we shift the blame
Over and over and over again

Polythene (x3) 

Was her name

Desire

Desire

Soft face in the darkness
Coming into the focus
At the bar with the lights the locus
Desire

Got a pulse on the beat in the dark
See your eyes in the arcade fire
A single bird on the wire
Desire

Gonna cross our wires

Desire

Broken Wheel

Broken Wheel

Broken bones in a motorhome
Find a light so you're not alone
You can see . . . the valley coming undone
You can see . . . the world is torn apart

Broken wheel  on  a desert road
Find a light so you're not alone  
You can see . . . the writing on the wall
You can see . . . the way the world will fall

Pay no mind to the lacking of life in the photograph
Pay no mind to the absence of sound on the phonograph

You can see . . . the valley open up
You can see . . . the earth is coming apart
You can see . . . the writing on the wall
You can see . . . the way the world will fall
You can see . . . the valley coming undone
You can see . . . the world is torn apart
You can see . . . the walls are crumbling down
You can see . . . the earth is absent of sound

You can see . . . (solo; fade out)

Mountains

Mountains

slow shift 
plates drift in response 
to glacial action

what of emmett till?
who else will we kill?

mountains move
mountains move so slow
we can't be mountains

get moving
get out

slow shift 
plates drift in response 
to glacial action

what of emmett till?
who else will we kill?

mountains move
mountains move so slow

we can't be mountains (x4)

All My Love

All My Love

all my love (x 4)

all my love
we walk in clouds
all my love
we touch the stars

so many times
i find the light in your eyes
beyond the sight of your guise
and it's still a surprise

so many times
i see the fright in your heart
i see the pause in your start
after all this time


all my love (x 2)

Last Wolf I

Last Wolf I

out there on the land
in the shadow 
in the stark white light
offset by darkness

in a staked plain motel
i lie on the bed
in blue and red shadows
and stare at the mirrors

and what's in the mirror? (x8)

it was the last wolf (x 4)

out there in the weeds
where the buffalo died
in petroleum hills
where the millions

near the boarded up mall
at the edge of town
in the wind tousled grass
is a lesson to heed

and what's in the mirror? (x8)

it was the last wolf (x 8)

Serendipitous Brass

Serendipitous Brass

Cue the violins () 

They say the lakes are heading north
Or south or east or west
Water flows where moneys best
Serendipitous Brass 

They say the desert’s drying up
The trees to sand and grass to dirt
It’s a pain in the ass 

With hearts on our sleeves
And bees in our heads 

Last Steps

Last Steps

I’ve been fucking around 
with a sonic spell
Got the wizard staff
Got the thrash guitar
In the neck of the woods
In the neck of the road
There’s a little house
Made of sonic gold
