Combining folk, electronic, lo-fi, and globe-trotting musical elements into a unique and often poignant sound, CocoRosie consists of the Casady sisters, vocalist/guitarist/harpist Sierra and vocalist/percussionist Bianca. Both sisters had an early love of music that they pursued as they grew up, albeit in different ways: Sierra began operatic vocal training while she was in high school, while Bianca sang and wrote songs but kept them to herself. That is, until she reconnected with Sierra, who joined Bianca at her Paris apartment, and they started playing and recording songs together. The fruits of their labor, La Maison de Mon Reve, was released in spring 2004 by Touch & Go and was pre-dated by a string of dates in New York with Devendra Banhart, the Gena Rowlands Band, Battles, and Ratatat. Their second album, Noah's Ark, which featured cameos by Devendra Banhart and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons, arrived in fall 2005. 2007's The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn was a more polished but still eclectic effort. The following year they released the single God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me, which also appeared on 2010's Grey Oceans. Inspired by the sisters' travels through Europe, Australia, and South America, the album was released by Sub Pop. In 2012, CocoRosie choreographed a dance production, Nightshift, and an opera, Soul Life, for the Donau Festival in Krems, and performed at the Meltdown Festival curated by their longtime friend Antony. For 2013's Tales of a Grass Widow, one of the duo's most focused set of songs, the Casadys worked with producer Valgeir Sigurðsson and collaborators including Antony. On 2015's Heartache City, the sisters returned to a simpler, acoustic-based approach, eschewing electronics in favor of musical toys and antique instruments.

La maison de mon rêve
*** Thanx a lot to Emmanuel for these lyrics *** Terrible angels If every angel's terrible Then why do you welcome them If every angel's terrible Then why do you welcome them If every angel's terrible Then why do you welcome them You provide the birdbath I provide the skin And bathing in the moonlight I'm to tremble like a kitten If blue eyed babes Raised as Hitler's little brides and sons They got angelic tendencies Like some boys tend to act like queens Oh if every angel's terrible Then why do you watch her sleep You love to hear her sing And wear purple eyes like rings Well the flowers have no scent And the child's been miscarried Oh every angel's terrible Said Freud and Rilke all the same Rimbaud never paid them no mind But Jimmi Morrison had his elevators His elevators He had his elevator angels If every angel's terrible Why do you hide inside her Like a child in a skirt The supermarket's loud and bright And boy don't she feel warm tonight Boy don't she feel warm tonight Boy don't she feel warm tonight If every angel's terrible...

Good friday I once fell in love with you Just because the sky turned from gray Into blue It was a good friday The streets were open and empty No more passion play On St. Nicholas avenue I believe in St. Nicholas It's a different type of Santa Claus Not for sale You can leave me On the corner Where you found me I'm not for sale anymore Tahiti rain song Oh sailor Oh sail me Silver mast do impale me Oh windless Oh windy Remind me Rewind me Oh laughter Oh laughless Just sing this Just mean this Infinity whispered to me A mumble so dreamy A soft sound so creamy So dreamy Dreamy Infinity whispered to me A mumble so dreamy A soft sound so creamy So dreamy So dreamy So dreamy
Butterscotch Black widow and white wood The darkness of a forest eerily returns To stagger drunk like mud Taking swings at your woman Run!!! Why does butterscotch taste so good And we can't have any But we must we should Why does sugar cane taste so good Even though sugar can only do you harm You remind me of baseball Tow trucks and the movies Look sweet as to deliver me milk Almost frozen on those wintry mornings Don't slip Mr. Mail man Watch out for my dog!!! Why does kissin' you feel so good Even though it ain't allowed I know we shouldn't should Why does holdin' hands feel so right Got a bruise on my pinky ring from holdin' too tight Black diamonds swoon the corner Make it sparkle It's all for sale Pushin' snow on the summer kids Lewd remarks lowering Lick the lips mischievous Lick the lips mischievous Skittles are the rainbow And every color's popular though Red gets the most invitations To the Jr. High celebrations And I'll go alone I don't care 'Cause rainbow's not my favorite color I'll go alone I don't care It's not my favorite color Why does butterscotch taste so good And we can't have any But we must we should And why does sugar cane taste so good Even though sugar can only do ya harm I'll go alone I don't care It's not my favorite color Black widow and white wood West side I'll wait for you until the streets become sand And all the ceilings in New York have come down I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again Madonna Miss Madonna won't you give me a kiss One of your soft sweet lagrimas Miss Madonna won't you give me a kiss One of your soft sweet lagrimas Oh miss Madonna won't you please give me a kiss Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas 'Cause I felt your pain When your baby was slain And I tossed some roses to perfume his grave Oh miss Madonna won't you let me underneath your halo 'Cause it's raining hard Raining hard in this abyss Miss Madonna... Oh miss Madonna where you goin' after church In that preacher's car You know I want to tell nobody That you've been smoking cigars I won't tell nobody Tell nobody That you've been smoking cigars Miss Madonna...

Hatian love song Interpretation of early black and white Haitian love songs One. Oceans wept Mountains slept Sidewalks crumbled to ash Your name remains In children's lullabies And your eyes forever in the sky Two. Pull me close Dear I'm tremblin' Hold me tight I'm afraid of the night Blackness fills the room Your love burns bright Three. Oh summer winds Remind me of your kiss Soft and warm I never want to leave this Four. I never wanted to say goodbye I'd throw myself to the sea If god promised you're inside We'd float to island paradise And I'd become your bride Five. The countryside looks bare Without you lying in her grass The stream is dry And the crickets silent There's no music in the night I'd become smoke And hide in your cigarette pack Seven. To be a star Tossing light To sparkle in your eyes I'd become an angel And kiss this earth goodbye Eight. Destiny Use to be Just a word to me But heaven sure was right When they said Jesus left somethin' behind Nine. Every inch of this body I'd plate in gold for you Even though I ain't go no money I'd do it just to keep you Ten. Your eyes appear In every one of my dreams They glitter and they gleam Like the first time we meet Eleven. The chickens crowed And I knowed your home My spirit ran to greet you Before my feet left the porch
Lyla You wanted to buy me For a hundred euro You said you'd take me To your little car Your friend lived near by He had a house and all Where was I from you said You guessed Yugoslavia Well it's not yogoslavia It's not Yugoslavia at all It reminded me Of a movie I just saw About a little girl From Yugoslavia She got sent away They made her prostitute She ate McDonald's all day And never had a chance to play Lyla You wanted to buy me For a hundred euro You said you'd take me To your little car Your friend lived near by He had a house and all Where was I from you said You guessed Yugoslavia But it's not Yugoslavia It's hardly Yugoslavia at all Lyla

K-Hole Tiny spirit in a k-hole Bloated like soggy cereal God will come and wash away Our tattoos and all the cocaine And all of the aborted babies Will turn into little bambies Wounded river push along Searching for that desert song And Mozart's requiem will play On tiny speakers made of clay Tell my mother that I love her Martin Luther you're an angel Charming monkey saunter swagger Drunken donkey limbs disjointed Your chest is a petting zoo Mexican pony fucked up shoes I dreamt one thousand basketball courts Nothing holier than sports Dragonfly kiss your tail Precious robot built so frail Universe of milk and ember Your hot kiss in mid december What's god name I can't remember Trough the crack eye lovely weather

South 2nd Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight We don't need no baseball bats We don't need no silver ghats But we're gonna fight tonight Put up your dukes and fight Big brother's just standing on the side Watching you flex your pride But you know if they all jump in Big brother's got your skin The ice cream truck it sings no more All the kids from school are keeping score You swing and you duck and you hit the floor But you gotta get up at least once more Mama comes screaming down the stairs Everybody looks but nobody scares Mama can't believe that nobody cares It's her baby boy how do they dare Mama says bitch come over here If you're so tough you'll have no fear But why'd you bring your friends And the whole damn school To watch my baby boy go down like a fool But brother says mama they're the same damn size Got to let him grow up and get street wise But mama says baby go get that bat And come back down and beat some ass Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight One wrong move and it'll be too late Mama won't be making no birthday cake It all went down one afternoon In brooklyn Bear hides and buffalo Lead canoes collide inside Pocahontas came to me in a reverie War paint and tobacco stains Piss on the earth A pile of dead men A pile of dead dead men Bear hides and buffalo Mildew with fever In a time of wintryness Naked bronze trembling queen Stolen from Egypt Buried in England Island of the blue dolphin
Tekno love song I fell in love with a bad bad man Every since I met him I've been sad sad sad I'm a jailbird to your music A criminal in your prayer I watch you when you sleep Even when you're not there Rainbows wept color all over the streets When you went away maybe one day we'll meet Lipstick I'd wear for one million years Just to stop your eyes from falling down tears I fell in love with a bad bad man Every since I met him I've been sad sad sad I'm a jailbird to your music A criminal in your prayer I watch you when you sleep Even when you're not there Rainbows wept color all over the streets When you went away maybe one day we'll meet One day we'll meet One day we'll meet One day We'll meet

The sea is calm C'est l'histoire d'un homme Au coeur de bois La mer est calme Sous l'écran de la caméra Comme une ampoule électrique grillée Dans un seau d'eau The sea is calm Through the video camera Like a dead light bulb In a bucket of water Yes in a bucket of water The sea is calm Through handmade lenses Like animals In soundless dream Like animals In bottles of butter A miniature sailboat Tin foil and paper The waves are big And there's a warm wind... Il est sous le feu des projecteurs D'un soleil cassé Il a jeté son corps comme une ancre Comme un morceau de sucre Et s'est dissout He's in the spotlight of a broken sun He dropped his body like an anchor Like a lump of sugar And he dissolved On the anniversary of his death She drew a beautiful picture of a whale She drew a picture of a whale She drew a beautiful picture of a whale She drew a beautiful picture of a whale Pour l'anniversaire de sa mort...

Armageddon And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What I should do with my life How I should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Have the diamonds cut And have the diamonds Let's all gather at time square Let's all say a prayer For Walter Disney And Mike Tyson At Madison Square Garden And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What I should do with my life How I should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Have the diamonds cut And have the diamonds And Jesus said, "There's a girl's best friend" And hell they'll last forever" And Jesus said, "Now take her hand And raise this harlot's bastard sun." And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What I should do with my life How I should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Have the diamonds cut And have the diamonds And afterwards, we'll all go to hell When the money's all spent When the money's all gone There'll be a place for us in heaven's gate Waiting for us on lay away And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What I should do with my life How I should spend my time I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife Have the diamonds cut And have the diamonds And oh what a pity the world's not white Oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes God must have been a color blind If I made the world it would be all white And oh what a pity the world's not white Oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes God must have been a color blind If I made the world it would be all white And oh what a pity the world's not white Oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes God must have been a color blind If I made the world it would be

Bisounours
Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, rien n'a plus de sens Mais j'ai encore quelques rêves et si tant est que j'aie le temps J'irai caresser leurs lèvres J'ai encore quelques rêves Et si tant est que j'aie le temps j'irai caresser leurs lèvres Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, car rien n'a plus de sens Si le temps avance trop Je me sens de taille Je suis un enfant Je refuse le temps Je regarde le ciel et cet arc-en-ciel qui m'apaise Je regarde la lumière et puis j'erre dans mes rêves Oublier le temps Rester un enfant
If the time is running too fast I feel like I can do it I am a child I refuse time I watch the sky and this rainbow alleviate myself I watch the light and then I wander in my dreams Forget the time Keep being a child

Honey or tar I undressed you with my eyes I have Maybe even raped you In a dark and eerie corner of my mind I tucked you there And touched you in a dream last night Pushed you aside when you entered My thoughts at the wrong time I have sat up upon your lap and Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes I rode you on a chair and in the shower And all the while I clung heavy to your back My desire deeply harnessed in your spine While I squeezed you like a tree trunk You may have been one Sexless and comfort in your mind Even barer than a child's I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal Yearning that stirs Deeply pulsing up toward the surface Like sap rising or honey or tar
The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn
Rainbowarriors Of all the white horses... In these times of evil spirits Of material thugs and mischief Fear Saint Noni's wisdom And his love for rainbow spirits Jealous of their faithful heart-bond And their dancing and their laughing Made at last a league against them To molest them and destroy them Saint Noni wise and heart-strong Often said to Rainbowarrior "O my brother do not leave me! Lest the evil spirits harm you!" Rainbowarrior of two spirits Gentle hand and lion-hearted He laughed and then he answered Like a child he softly whispered We are rainbowarriors Evil come not near Rainbow love awaits us With hearts of love and tears He's dead our sweetest mother Loving father and our teacher He's gone from us forever He has moved a little nearer To the master of all laughter To the master of all song O my brother, O my brother Crystal brother of two spirits Then we gathered in a circle Stood round the rainbow fire Burning embers hearts united We remembered mystical beauty If you look hard you can find a Rainbow trail it's deep inside you Fear not you're a rainbowarrior Golden light on everything gleaming We are rainbowarriors Evil come not near Rainbow love awaits us With hearts of love and tears... Promise Open hearted as a heart can be 'Cause we all a ruin like broken leaves I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees Stitched together like pants and sleeves I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she Danced to dust and dusk and Strung along the highway I found my way belligerent Following the stars of your eyes Promise me that you'll cherish This tarnished Oh this tarnished offering And if you take me inside And you give me a place to hide and cry I'll bathe you in the crystal light That sleeps between my thighs At times you fear the angle's sigh To the lord and heavens that this ain't right But in this chalice you'll find the wine Our hands hold bonfires burning bright And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind But I think you'll find that the lord is kind And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring Promise me that you'll cherish This tarnished Oh this tarnished offering Oh this offering Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring Sprung from me when first we kissed You held me quietly a rush purged me of my past Opened a desert of diamonds vast Glinting and a tiny chorus of swallows Swing open the door freed the caged bees and wallows Swarm geometric patterns on the sun Eclipse new moon And tempt my werewolf not to run Tempt my werewolf not to run Promise me that you'll cherish This tarnished Oh this tarnished offering Bloody Twins I give you my hand Brown from summer And you five me a kiss Like a tiny floret Which sparks in a blink A firework of roses And the night floods in

Sunshine To all the boys and girls outside You know I didn't cry But you saw me anyway In the back of the creek one day And if you're trying to get a ride On a roller skate or a bike Just ask me and I'll take you round The block and back this way again To all the boys and girls outside Why don't you come and fly with me I'll show you why I ran away The other day from my mom and dad All the boys and the girls outside I know you got crazy things inside And that's why I got crazy style I go so fast around the block And as I do so I sing this song to you Sunshine oh sunshine If you don't know why you shine You have to go into the sun You'll have to go inside Black Poppies Black poppy sleeps a dreamless night In summer shade of moony light Hazy veils of clouds loom low The warm kittens close to the earth Underground bodies stir with no sound No one to tear them under the ground Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles Silvery meadow murmurs the song of Tiny glow worm glowing Rain starts her shimmery descent Into the old leathery skin of the farm Werewolf In a dream I was a werewolf My soul was filled with crystal light Lavender ribbons of rain sang Ridding my heart of mortal fight Broken sundown fatherless showdown Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah i suck dick Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls River sweep away my memories of Children's things a young mother's love Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh A young brother skinny and tall my older walks Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter Walking down an icy grave leading to my Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder Searching for my father's power I'm a shake you off though Get up on that horse and Ride into the sunset Look back with no remorse He's a black magic wielder some say a witch Wielded darkness when he was wilein' on his mom's And born child and he was the bastard the that broke Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage And he was born with the same blue eyes Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate In the night fireworks electric bright And now he's got his own two sons Trys to hide his tears in a world of fun But loveless bedrooms filled with doom Bring silent heartache July to June Swoon over new young hot flame Mourn the memories later Laugh now alligator In a dream my father came to me And made me swear that I'd keep What's sacred to me And if i get the choice to live in his name I'll pray my way through the rain Singing oh happy day I don't mean to close the door But for the record my heart is sore You blew through me like bullet holes Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul You left me broke down begging for change Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged He had your hands and my father's face Another western vampire Different time same place I has dreams that brings me sadness Rain much deeper than a river Sorrow flow through me Tiny waves of shivers Corny movies make me reminisce They break me down easy on this generic love shit First kiss frog and princess I'm a shake you off though Get up on that horse and Ride into the sunset Look back with no remorse Animals Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokenness Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided I'm the outright abandon of this orphan child Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse And to wake up half empty Only to be filled again with mourning He's my evil shadow dove My black Palamito Can't break him like a diamond skull I can't seem to do so Can't just rob him out like the Mob used to do so Like memories of porno and tearstains And tobacco O it's a mini disastro Bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs Maybe could live through it, like Indians and butterflies What's crushed is my spirit, Oh I fear it is too fragile Like fall leaves burn like paper I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone No one would understand me Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals Spend all my time amongst the animals And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea To be amongst the animals Oh I'm just afall leaf something simple and shy lie that That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons I sit and entertain the bisarro ghosts of my soul His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny Miserable but mine, I look like his mother Or Sophia Loren in an old fashioned movie Slow motion I cling to my child desperate for love One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the Subordinate feelings I cast aside Maybe I had lied when I said I was ok Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say "Wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me My whole eternity" Houses Ask me about my mother And I'll tell you that I love her 'Cause she feeds me all kinds of foods Yeah, she feeds me all kinds of foods Don't you love your baby Tell me tell me tell me tell me true And all the foods you ate Enough to fill your plate Big houses burn Big houses burn down Big houses burn Big houses burn down Don't burn down mine Raphael Deep inside my heart and its splintered at its core Molden curdle of milken puddle Dreams of warm breasts settling in my mouth To be my spouse make a bale and a house Apple tree, drunken brawl domestically Dirty dog dusty pawed bloody nose roses embroidered sheets Dangle like women in the breeze on a line above the yard In my heart a flower dies slow like a campfire covered In piss mellows like snow fall Mellows like snow fall Raphael you know just how To take me in the swimming pool Like a child being baptized Beneath the starry sky we lie Drowning in your watery thighs Luscious eyed you a teenage player In my heard an island sinks slow Tears fall in the kitchen sink O Don't speak I can hear you Don't speak I can hear you Girl and the Geese There was a girl who talked to geese She understood them and they her One day she looked into a crystal stream And saw in its bed a diamond She picked it up and placed it in her hair As she did so she turned into a geese It was then revealed that the other geese She magically had understood Were once human like her Miracle I met a boy, he wore a seatbelt He kissed my cheek in the back seat We played basketball his girl cousins Played too in Germaine I'll be your girl I'll be your boy Buy Victor he was my first man He didn't have any money So I paid for his movie Viva lost childhood Be my boy forever And I'll be your girl

The Moon Asked The Crow I caught a glimpse out the window A Polish graveyard filled with widows I coddle a bottle of warm beer I see a pool of liquid tears Glimmering so sweet and mellow A sea of lilting wilting willow A secret book of forgotten wishes Drown in ponds with broken dishes The moon asked the crow For a little show In the hazy milk of twilight No one had to know The moon asked the crow For a little show In the hazy milk of twilight No one had to know Angel brother I miss your hair Careless nature gentle stare You fell like rain in the dark abysses Kissed the lips of bloody twinsis Sung to you a slew of sirens Tricky mermaids and evil pirates You watched the sky With kaleidoscopic eyes Howling out right To the blasphemous night A wolf in the garden Why do you linger so Like a silky snail soul The moon asked the crow For a little show In the hazy milk of twilight No one had to know The moon asked the crow For a little show In the hazy milk of twilight No one had to know The moon asked the crow For a little show In the hazy milk of twilight No one had to know Lemonade It was Cinco de Mayo Pillow case on his head No more breathing time The ambulance sped Sped 'round every corner Calling out his name Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched the summer corn grow Ate ice cream in a dessert dream And got lost in father's singing Too hot inside Too hot outside Lazy days when I said lets go for a ride We'd sail on Spirit Lake Me my pappy and his lemonade Tim and Tina were my parents names They got engaged They were inflamed Seduced by the luck of butterflies How they glimmer how they shimmer Those butterflies We seven kids We almost died Nearly put to death By lightening strikes Instead there was hot pink Flashes in the sky We climbed the rocks in snow and rain In search of magic powers To heal our mother's pain Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched the summer corn grow Ate ice cream in a dessert dream And got lost in father's singing Too hot inside Too hot outside Lazy days when I said lets go for a ride We'd sail on Spirit Lake Me my pappy and his lemonade Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched the summer corn grow Ate ice cream in a dessert dream And got lost in father's singing Too hot inside Too hot outside Lazy days when I said lets go for a ride We'd sail on Spirit Lake Me my pappy and his lemonade Gallows It was just before the moon hung Her weary heavy head in The gallows and the graves of The milky milky cradle His tears have turned to poppies A shimmer in the midnight A flower in the twilight A flower in the twilight And our screaming Is in his screaming Our screaming in the willow They took him to the gallows He fought them all the way though And when they asked us how we knew his name We died just before him Our eyes are in the flowers Our hands are in the branches Our voices in the breezes And our screaming Is in his screaming Our screaming in the willow tree We're waiting by the willow Our milky milky cradle Our lockets long have rusted His picture worn and weathered Our hair is in the garden The roses in our toeses Our heart are in the blossoms Our eyes are in the branches And our screaming Is in his screaming Our screaming in the willow tree Our screaming Is in his screaming Our screaming in the willow tree Fairy Paradise He draws near the periphery In disbelief on delivery Came child from the deep inferno Crusty head of dead volcano Heartless crow with brittle beak Wooden leg too schocked to speak Lilac dust of a woman's hair A wooden cross a paper prayer A stone where her body lay A stack of feathers a pile of hay A mushroom for an eye ball A mustache from the snow fall Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash Trance music makes the fairies dance From the caves of snail shells Echoes the mutter medieval spells Mystery flows her wicked river Of thorn and blade and silver sliver Bending 'round the clover fields Their sapling stems don't break but yield Her pain inflicts no arguments Must learn to sway and un-arrange As earth she makes her final passage After humans long have ravaged Vanished with all maps for motion Upward angels last devotion One by one escort us home To leave the elementals free to roam To bathe in the last of ocean's foam To beach comb the nuclear debris Our plastic toys and our metal trees On the perfect day you'll find the breeze Once blew the pollen the feet of bees Now cry the stars when upon the earth Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst A lament be heard through all the cosmos Of the dying planet with fallen foes Here I Come The world rose in the night And prayed People kissed, kissed and hugged one last time Saying what have we done for two thousand years The end it has begun Should I let my mind run For a scrap of kettle wood Blind, woolen cat, bad bat breath beside me Fuzzy face of pear tree Ghoulish and cartoony Surprise me like a monster My brother liked to scare me A rape in the meadow A fornicating fellow A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep All tangled up like winter Bramble branch of brown tree Cut the very life of Her blood bank that billows Up from below her Skirt and sunlit blouses Kangaroo mommy Rapunzel and a tomboy Fatherless a heart broke A hankering, a steak knife A wallowing a child A banquet a hollycaust A pussy wussy willow Marshmallow, a mantra A temper tantric tantrum A full steam ahead and Watch out here I come

Heartache City
Forget Me Not In brown clown face, tattered paw, pine scraps Fish bones, home phone Dial broke, pocket sunk In brown paper sack Face, head, eyes black Shadow tears, funny ears Bird mouth, crumble ash In black plastic bag Wounded snakes, slaughtered skunk No grey flawless, dead deer Shocked eyes Open sky, velvet ropes VIP heavenward Waywardly staggered drunk Wounded stag, limp your way to paradise Limp your way to paradise Now I'm wondering if I close my eyes And I fall back in time If only I could remember you Your name on a tree, your blood inside of me Your songs all unsung, your thoughts all unspun Where would you live, where would you dance How would you make love, who would be your dove If only I could remember you, if only, if only If only I could remember you, if only, if only I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake The fallen mirror bounces back Some of moon's gentle laugh Sudden echo, soft attack Mushrooms glittering on this path There's only one way to find out Who dared slayed the deer Left the eyes for the flies Then retreated into the brown grass Bed of pine, needles prickling The smallest manger fit for girl kings Chicken bones and pervert winks Dime bags and plastic rings I still remember our first phone number They circle me with genders and colors flickering Like demons of diamonds of nothing, flickering Now I'm wondering If I'll close my eyes And fall back in time Could I remember, could I If only I could remember you Your name on a tree, your blood inside of me Your songs all unsung, your thoughts all unspun Where would you live, where would you dance How would you make love, who would be your dove If only I could remember you Your name on a tree, your blood inside of me Your songs unsung and your thoughts unspun Where would you live, where would you dance How would you make love If only I could remember you Your name on a tree, your blood inside of me Your songs all unsung and your thoughts unspun Where would you live, where would you dance How would you make love, who would be your dove If only I could remember you, if only, if only If only, if only I could remember Un Beso My mother calls it gypsy lifting I'm

dandruff Perhaps brown eyes a derelict A dandy I'm out shopping in my canoe Finger frolicking the fireflies Finger fucking firewood Spying on the masturbating snails Hollyhocks and cat tails Boneless jelly fish and whales Perhaps I'll meet you then On the decadent horizon Where young lovers lock lips Looking at the lockness monster I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Phooey,

to seek my fortune again Chasing ghosts of dead orphans Friends, cousin or kin We wave to the passer by Moth wings of a butterfly Endless tracks where no car pass Close your eyes and you can fly I'm off to meet my soul mate A naked fawny jail bate Wading into ponds Filly with polly wigs at dawn Mourning the light That slipped from my eyes A little child with dirty hair and dirty nails I had dirty things scrawled upon my mind Stick out your thumb And lift up your skirt Someone's bound to stop here soon Take down your hair And wind up your grin Someone's gonna take you home Stick out your thumb

handle of the whip Drinking poison in large sips Can't catch the mockingbird whose words Echoing mournful dirge (Little momma ruby red) Paint the fable of her death And how she resurrects (With your wings made of lead) A secret hard to keep On which no one would believe (Hit the road and dust will fly) Wolf crying of spilled milk (Black birds fill the sky) Little momma ruby red With your wings made of lead Hit the road and dust will fly Black birds fill the sky Let us now praise The infamous loving ways Known to all you touched Butterflies exploding in the wake of you Magical dust, lust, kept locked in a secret box Fear of sin You told me just before you died, the last December of your life "Life is too short to hide, let in the love, let in the light" We saw this in your eyes, when they went 'round the room one last time Your face already smiling God from the other side "Was I ready to walk her home?", she said "Tomorrow's never promised and always be honest" Her breath is now our song Lady Death is never wrong Make no mistake, Lady Death is never wrong Little momma ruby red With your wings made of lead Hit the road and dust will fly Black birds fill the sky Little momma ruby red With your wings made of lead Hit the road and dust will fly Black birds fill the sky Little momma ruby red With your wings made of lead Hit the road and dust will fly Black birds fill the

Black Swan ( Live )
The sun is fallen and it lies in blood The moon is weaving bandages of gold O Black Swan, where oh where is my lover gone Torn and tattered is my bridal gown And my lamp is lost, and my lamp is lost Silver needles and with silver thread The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun O Black Swan, where oh where has my lover gone I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring And a golden ring Don't you hear your lover moan? Eyes of glass and feet of stone Shells for teeth and weeds for tongue Deep, deep down in the river's bed He's looking for the ring Eyes wide open, never asleep He's looking for the ring, looking for the ring The spools unravel and the needles break The sun is buried and the stars weep O black wave, O black wave, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown Oh, take me down with you Take me down to my wandering lover With my child unborn With my child unborn Oh, oh The moon is weaving bandages of gold O black wave, O black wave, take me down with you Take me down with you Open-hearted as a heart can be 'Cause we're all a ruin like broken leaves I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees Stitched together like pants and sleeves I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she Danced to dust and dusk and Strung along a highway I found my way, belligerent Following the stars of your eyes O Black Swan, where oh where is my lover gone Torn and tattered is my bridal gown And my lamp is lost, and my lamp is lost And if you take me inside And you give me a place to hide and cry I'll bathe you in the crystal light That sleeps between my thighs At times you fear the angel's sigh To the lord and heavens that this ain't right But in this chalice you'll find the wine Our hands hold bonfires burning bright And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind But I think you'll find that the lord is kind And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring O Black Swan, where oh where has my lover gone? I had given him a kiss of fire And a golden ring, and a golden ring Opened up a tiny chorus of swallows Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows swarm Geometric patterns on the sun Eclipse, new moon Tempt my werewolf not to, not to run Tempt my werewolf not to run Tempt my werewolf not to run O black wave, O black wave, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown O black wave, O black wave, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown, and my bridal crown O black wave, O black wave, take me down with you Take me down with you

Have you ever seen an AWOL Marine Who's lonely, lonely Have you ever seen an AWOL Marine Who's lonely, lonely... Imagine a garden filled with lilies of innocence Bursting, unlashes all of my possibilities of you Unbroken, like to turn back time all of a sudden Imagine innocence Imagine a garden A garden filled with colors Glow in daylight Lost inside alone and shining Beyond them was a holy enchantment Imagine innocence Have you ever seen an AWOL Marine Who's lonely, lonely Have you ever seen an AWOL Marine Who's lonely, lonely... Those thieving, haunting, captive to my father A first mate, a shipmate scorned by his battles Was much darker than a forest Filled with evil fairies Imagine a garden A garden filled with colors Glow in daylight Lost inside alone and shining Beyond them was a holy enchantment Imagine innocence

Tekno Love Song
( Live 21-05-04 'White Session' ) I fell in love with a bad bad man Every since I met him I've been sad sad sad June faded in the bloom The september moon waned and gloomed Your perfume haunted me Long after I saw The swing Of heaven's gate Opening toward me Luxurious in your arms Your smile Is a cool sun in the dark Misery rejoices when you near And fever, No sound of sickness keeps me burning down in my heart Winter melts, she shys away Quiet, like the silence a dying star makes I'm a jailbird to your music, a criminal in your prayers I watch you when you sleep, even when you're not there I fell in love with a bad bad man Every since I met him I've been sad sad sad I'm a jailbird to your music A criminal in your prayers I watch you when you sleep Even when you're not there Rainbows wept colour all over the streets When you went away Maybe one day we'll meet Lipstick I'd wear for one million years Just to stop your eyes from Falling into to years I fell in love with a bad bad man Every since I met him I've been sad sad sad I'm a jailbird to your music, a criminal in your prayers I watch you when you sleep, even when you're not there Rainbows wept colour all over the streets When you went away Maybe one day we'll met One day we'll meet One day we'll meet One day We'll meet Picture this: your lips on my lips A mirror has to do for now 'Cos you vanished like a cloud Rainbows wept colour all over the streets When you went away Maybe one day we'll met Oh woman you callin' me Haven't slept a wink since 1916 I wasn't born then, But sure feel times been tickin' Shadows parade outside my door I wish we were dancing 'cross this old floor Car horns honkin' down that dirty street Wish you were yelling time to wash my feet Lipstick I'd wear For one million years Just to stop the tears Your eyes from fallin', fallin' ..
