Blade of Grass

You came to me
On a blade of grass
You showed me things
That I never asked
To see before
Now I want more
You floated in
On a summer wind
You cast your spell
In the midnight din
On MacDougal Street
Corner of make believe
He’ll stay
Did I pluck you right out of my dream
Or a nightmare it would seem
Did I call you into being in my sleep
Where did you come from dear
You showed your cards
In a sleight of hand
Too fast to see
But I played pretend
And laughed along
While I wrote you this song
I sometimes think
You were heaven sent
An angel wrapped
In the weary scent
Of smoke and ale
Like tobacco
Our love grew stale

My Demise
03:37

I want to sink my teeth in your lips
Burn your flag with tortured eyes
Plunder and lay seize to your ships
Take your army by surprise
I’ll surround and you’ll surrender
In the trenches where you lay
All your troops in golden splendor
Ready willing to obey
The night is young
The moon is clear
Keep your enemies close
And your lover near
Soon my soldiers do betray me
Throw their weapons on the mound
Their hostility abated
When they have a look around
I’m the one who’s left surrounded
My position compromised
Now that your poor heart has found me
I’m witness to my own demise
The night is long
The moon is clear
Keep your enemies close…
Why don’t you drop from the sky
If you believe in love
That’s what it’s like
I want to cut my teeth on your lips
Plant my flag upon your hill
Plunder and lay seize to your ships
But perhaps I never will
Now that you have me surrounded
My position compromised
And your poor heart has found me
I’m witness to my own demise
The night is still
The moon is clear….
Keep your enemies close
Keep your enemies close
I will go for broke…
To have my lover near

Yellow and Blue
03:56

All the yellow’s lost
And it’s not returning
You’ll just have to go
Without any yellow
All the blue’s turned black
And a black sky hangs low
And you’re coming down
With somebody else’s cold
So you’re stuck in bed
But it’s really not so bad
There’s nothing else to do
But wait for yellow and blue
All the yellow’s lost
Some say it’s returning
Others live their lives
As if they’ve forgotten
Soon the black sky lifts
Enough to see your shadow
And this leads to hope
For a glimpse of yellow
You’re stuck in your head
But it’s really not so bad
There’s nothing else to do
But wait for yellow and blue
All the yellow’s lost
It was meant to happen
All the blue’s turned black
Who said life’s a sure bet
Get it out your head
That’s it’s really all so bad
There’s so much you can do
Besides wait for yellow and blue
So get it out your head
Cause it’s really not so bad
There’s so much you can do
Don’t wait for yellow and blue

Okay, I Give Up
02:57
|
|||
|
Love, you screwed me up again
I chased your tail into a dead end
I thought you were a barrel of luck
Not an uninvited house guest on drugs
You're throwing shots from Bunker Hill
And you want mercy still
Ok, I give up
Just let me live already
Until the day I marry you
Mother says to walk away
And focus on yourself
If love is here and here to stay
It's not going anywhere
Perhaps it's wrong to tell you off
Good manners say I shouldn’t scoff at love
You probably know a lot more than I
What natural laws do I dare defy
At first we were holding hands
And now we're wrestling
Ok, I give up
Just let me live already
Until the day I marry you
Mother says to walk away
And focus on myself
If love is real and worth the wait
I'm not going anywhere
I see, you see me
We draw our weapons at the count of 3
Will I make it out alive
I'll leave that for you to decide
I'm playing with the big guns
And they're all shooting blanks
Ok, I give up
Just let me live already
Until the day I marry you
Ok, I give up
Just let me live already
Until the day
Until the day
All I want's to marry you

Little Bit of You
03:51
|

|
All things must end
All things must pass
I wasn’t looking for love
But you found your way in
Like a snake in the grass
Now I have your name
Perched on my lips
The lips that you kissed
In all of my dreams
It was never like this
People will tell you what to do
Can’t do this, can’t do that
Oh no he’s not good for you
Maybe that’s just what I need
A little bit of you
While I’m figuring out me
It’s better than lying awake
Wondering if we
Could’ve happened if I stayed
Now I know
But it’s too late
My mind is made
Unlike your bed
Now you’re combing your hair
While I stare and recall all the kind things you said
People will tell you what to do
Can’t do this, can’t do that
Oh no he’s just using you
Maybe that’s just what I need
A little bit of you
While I’m figuring out me
It’s better than lying awake
Wondering if we
Could’ve happened if I stayed
Now I know
Now I know
But it’s too late
To say goodbye
Baby you’re just what I need
A little bit of you
While I’m figuring out me
It’s better than lying awake
Wondering if we
Could’ve happened if I stayed
But all things must end
All things must go
I’ll take a part of you home
In my head and heart, no
I won’t be alone
