PROTOCOL 

It's the line in the dark and the motion in the art that stirs at the heart of the game 
Heat in the air and the texture of the hair and the visioning of all that came 

Will you...hold me? Can you...scold me? 

With the greening of the salt and the panic on the mall and the turning of the Escalade 
Every intersection, got to gird the insurrection, got to strap them up and tie them tight 

Will you...hold me? Can you...mold me? Protocol Protocol 

Will you...hold me? Can you...fold me? Protocol Protocol 

Protocol Protocol Protocol Protocol 

It's the jiggle in the wiggle and the muscle in the hustle that strikes at the heart of the game 
There's too many in the crowd for the dullards of the loud who want to make us all the same 

Will you...hold me? Can you...scold me? 

With the preening of the noise from a multitude of boys and the churning of the thoughts of men 
Got to pull the circle tighter as they try to stoke a fire with a thundering of cold amens 

Will you...hold me? Can you...mold me? Protocol Protocol 

Will you...hold me? Can you...fold me? Protocol Protocol

Smile

All the people saw that he was, smiling - that is not what he's supposed to - do
They called Sarah down to try and make him stop it - 'cause they'd never seen the preening of a grin
And she said, if he could only, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
When her family came to look him over - they could see he posed a threat
So they sent him to the end of sundown - to a place where Sarah dared not go
And she said, if he could only, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
If he could only, smile, then maybe I could, then everyone would
Smile, smile, smile, smile

Brazil's Gift is a silent film from 1931, featuring a new soundtrack by Ava Zelafone. The film was created as a form of coffee propaganda that was shown to grocers and various social groups across the U.S. in order to drive up sales of coffee. In addition to SoundCloud, Ava Zelafone's electronic soundtrack for this whimsical little film is available to stream or purchase on Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, and other digital music sites.

Main Theme

I've seen a lot of things
Oh, such a lot of things
But I, aye, aye never seen you

I've been around the world
Oh, had a whirl or two
'Til I, aye, aye, fell under you

Back in the corner of my room, I built an altar to the moon
And when the sun is out, in the sky
It lights up a picture of you

I've heard of you before, in stories of troubadours
Then I, aye, aye turned into you

Back in the corner of my room, I built an altar to the moon
And when the sun is out, in the sky
It lights up a picture of you

Stories of troubadours. Stories of troubadours. Stories of troubadours.

Stories Of Troubadours

There comes a time in everyone's life
When they can be found in the gutter
Stay there

Here come the night and the fog and the water in the sea
Where you'll find Johnny Sailor
Run with me and we'll tread on the plank
And brave the scent of his coat, oh so musty
Here he lies forty fathoms out to sea
And we are gone down below by the store room
Gone

There is a place where the guilty are free
To run to the end of their nooses
Stay there

Here come the night and the fog and the water in the sea
Where you'll find Johnny Sailor
Run with me and we'll tread on the plank
And brave the scent of his coat, oh so musty
Here he lies forty fathoms out to sea
And we are gone down below by the store room
Gone

Johnny Sailor

In the course of all you see
A light it grows in me
A multi-pulsing mystery
Over everything
La la la

Ever greenward, limbs and leaves
Rising eastward, toward the sea

Here in our sweet overtown
We coddle everything
But love cannot be stored away
It is a present thing

Ever greenward, limbs and leaves
Rising eastward, toward the sea
La la la la

Overtown

And he went sliding toward you
He grabbed your knee and pawed you
Un deux trois cat
Un deux trois cat

And you were wanting none of this
A sloppy finger and a tryst
Un deux trois cat
Un deux trois cat

Consider possibilities
As you get up off your knees
Un deux trois cat
Un deux trois cat

A dueling partner for a start
To tease the mind if not the heart
Un deux trois cat
Un deux trois cat

And falling faceward forward
You catch his tumble with a thought
And steal his breath just like a cat

And steal his breath just like a cat
Un deux trois cat
Un deux trois cat

Like a cat Like a cat
And steal his breath just like a cat
And steal his breath just like a cat

Like a cat
Un deux trois cat
Like a cat
Like a cat

Like A Cat
