LYRICS

I am a lucky one
I know to spin and face the sun
Oh I’m a cause and I’m a-come
To fit and fix my falls

Ooh I’m a funny one
Ooh I’m a honey’ed lung
I wing all my filling fun
fWinning when I face the sun
And all-forgived my selves

And you know how too -
Run along your ribbon blue
Let it furl and flick you through
To face the sun

Drop your hands
Don’t reach for no
Compromised plan
No need to stand

Lie down, if you must
To face the sun

Ooh I’m a lucky one
I spit and touch and kiss and come
I will and wish and cover-none
And I rule all my selves

And I’m even-whole when I’m alone
Only a fool for a fallow fit and then
I’m spun….
Only a fool for a fallow fit and then
I’m spun
To face the sun

You should try it some time

You Should Try It Some Time

LYRICS

I’m making up for all the bad things I’ve done
By keeping my mind alive
To the idea I might be back again
And again and again and again whoa til I get it right

I’m making up for all the bad things I’ve said
By keeping my plants alive
All my tongues watered -
YEAH punish me: ’cause I like it that way I like it that way I like it that way

Whooo I love you baby
I’m not sorry I cannot be sorry,
You know what I mean?
Yeah I love you baby and
The only thing blushing’s
The sky in the morning
Oh oh oh oh

I’m making up for all the wrong things I’ve been
By keeping myself alive
And seen seen seen
For everything…. For everything everything ev e ry thing

I’m making up for what happened last night
By bringing you coffee
And smiling in the places
Where I should be hurting yeah I should be hurting

Whooo I love you baby
I’m not sorry I’ll never be sorry,
You know what I mean?
Yeah I love you baby and
The sky in the morning’s
The only thing blushing
Oh oh oh oh

Yeah I’m making up for all the bad things I’ve done
By staying accountable
To nobody nobody nobody
Nobody nobody nobody
No-one but myself

Oh oh oh oh none but myself

You Know What I Mean?
