Lyrics
____________

I've grown a little tired of fanatics
I sing for little bugs that eat out holes inside my mattress
And wake up to their blood smeared on the carpet
I wonder if they understand the fear my mom has harbored
I've seen her go through too much for a woman
I know she wants it to be better, yet she thinks she shouldn't
I search around for change between the cushions
And maybe if we have enough, I'll take her back to Brooklyn

When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer
When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer

I fall into the chains that house the wicked
Remember all the names despite the embers of the bridges
It fills my heart with uncertain resentment
Why is it that when I have fun, I soon yearn to forget it?
The frequent getaways became so selfish
I jeopardized the house, I don't know how she worked around it
She said she has a flight in just a moment
I hope that she can see the magic that I felt in Brooklyn

When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer
When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer

Everyone is waiting
In a room upstairs
What are you waiting for?
Won't you go up there?

We are proud of you

GOBLIN GANG - Safe and Sound

i’ve been worried about your knees
your head arches to your feet

is there some magnetism here
celestial body drawing you near

we’ll frame the face of your neck
and the strands of hair
that straggle there
the moths that stir
are stranded share
the habit of your light

i’ll blame the waste of your breath
for the colour of 
my sorry eyes
the sniffle cough 
my lullaby
feel your shadow
in the night
