I Can Be Her Man
seraphs in the ceiling
sages in the sand
holding hands
loose and grand
lucky strikes takes her hand
if I believe, I can be her man
seraphs, sages
loose and grand
lucky strikes takes her hand
if I believe, I can be her man
I'm Stealin' to Be Your One in a Million
I dream of you, every breath
I'll try not to press
I know you saw me
I heard you say, "what a mess"
I'm stealin' to be your one in a million
I know that when you dream
it's not of me
I'm the serf, you're the queen
but one day I'll be king
I’m stealin' to be your one in a million
I'm hopin' to be your one in a million
you're my one in a million
Laid With Cool
laid with cool
put my dreams in your wrist
and I'll learn how to twist
so pull the coil tight
and bury the dream in the soil
one day, like the ancients
it'll turn to oil
seam broken down
beats and twitches
left in stitches
it's learned to toil
laid heavy with coil
one day, like the ancients
it'll turn to oil
long live the king ...laid with cool
Walking Spinning Backing Free
see your dance dear
see my faint tears
so long, so long
walking spinning backing free
spinning running over me
sing your trance dear
stream my faint tears
so long
Save Yourself and Watch You Win
and you watched it, how it was
then you learned it, all the way down
you shine that crown
and get a blushing buzz
when the storm comes round
you're making sure that you're the first one down
off the sinking ship--you king clever whip
(and it hurts)
and the bullshit, how it crawls
when you fight it, you win because
you're made of tin
you save yourself from rust
and when the storm comes round
you’re making sure that you're the first one down
save your skin—you win
save yourself and watch you win
shine that crown
and watch you believe it
until we meet again...
