LYRICS

Let peace seize the day
I've got yah, you lead the way
Let peace seize the day
I'll live your life, you live mine
Let peace seize the day
No line gonna tell your heart where to stay
Let peace seize the day
Blood is measured within our time

Get up off your knees
Make some room to breathe
For all of the sick and lonely
You found your faith
I stumbled on rocks
Yet we are called to the same flock
No use for the hate
For what we have made
To keep us all a-surviving
It is our own arms
That inflict the harm
And keeps us all from a-thriving

Let peace seize the day
Make some room for all the sick and lonely
Let peace seize the day
One arm, both arms- give to the enemy
Let peace seize the day
There's nothing dividing the land between you and me
Let peace seize the day
The sun is shining on all of us, all at once

Let peace seize the day
Let peace seize the day

Love one another, yah!

Let Peace Seize the Day

Let Peace Seize The Day (Bedroom Version)

LYRICS

With every passing northern sea
I watched your window yearn for me
Immerse me in your stained-glass bed
Nobody else can put me to rest

When I find you
We'll scour the sky

We shall hoist ourselves upon the tusk of dawn
And laugh at imagery of fleet-footed swans
Yes, I am not blind to the heights we’ve reached
Nobody will fall if you hold on to me

I won’t wait to give you all my days
I won’t hope for any other home
I will laugh and write you paragraphs
I will drown within your every sound
I will rest within your lofty nest

Wed Me to Your Green-Stained Window

Wed Me To Your Green - Stained Window

Melanie of the morning
Sailed by my parapet
She says, “there’s no use in mourning
When the world is your puppet”

Won’t you come through my window?
For my legs feel frail
She says, “just moan like a minnow
And I’ll be in your mail”

And what a lovely day it is
Flowers taped onto a sign
When the sky is an orange wisp
I’ll be by your side

Oh, I long for her
Searing, fading hair
Still-glowing, spotlight fur
Delouse my glare

I spun around in my chair
Until the white walls caved
I’m ready for her stare
To hold me inside a grave

Soon, the bottom of my ship
Will hold gilded fleece
To keep her warm for a trip
Can a sailor only love the sea?

Melanie, Melanie will come to me

Melanie Mail

There was a boy
Who had a girl
And in the grapevine,
Hanging by a pearl
There laid a boy
Stripped free and mild
Four laces entwined
And eyes beguiled

He bicycled
Down from the hill
Grasping a gun
And a feathered quill
He spoke in books
And ailing shouts
‘Neath the moon, he shook
And began to sprout

He said,  “Hush you want me badly, I know
But my lone beliefs are bona fide
You found a love a long time ago”
As he turned, the lover cried,

“I dreamt your call
Dressed in a shawl
I’d lie on your head
In a deathly bed”
“From dust to rust
I want the boy
In this I trust
I’ll love the boy”

He held a pose
Fits in a frame
He ate a rose
Five hearts he maimed
They pranced around
Their stolen tags
And gave their pounds
For fiery drags

On squandered soil
They lift their roots
Their hands unspoiled
And aim acute
“I want you so
You know me well
But love is sold
'Neath hollow bells”

He said “Hush, you want me badly, I know
But why can’t I call you by your name?”
“It’s nothing if you only show
Your incumbent shame”

“I want your call
I’ll wear your shawl
I’ll kiss your head
And lull you to bed”
“From dust to rust
I want the boy
In this I trust
I’ll love the boy”

He said, “Hush, you knew me when? I think not”
He tended to his burning leaf
“Life is sweet, but it too will rot”

“I want your call................."I dreamt your call             
I'll wear your shawl.............Dressed in a shawl                         
I’ll kiss your head.................I'd lie on your head            
And lull you to bed"............In a deathly bed”
“From dust to rust............."From dust to rust
I want the boy.......................I want the boy
In this I trust.........................In this I trust
I’ll love the boy”...................I'll love the boy"

There Was A Boy

LYRICS
What can I do
It's got me beaten black and blue
Why don't you know
You got me moving much too slow
Why can't you see
You got me chasing honey bees
You made me fall
Broke me up and took it all
Call me your messed up boy

Just what I've found
You knock my body to the ground
Just what I've said
You're tearing up my weary head
Do I still shine
After such a lonely time
You cut me dead
You nail me down and kick my head
Cut dead your messed up boy

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Cut Dead

If fame gets to your head just know she said,
“I’m surprised you didn’t sneeze in bed”
Oh Monsieur Albacore
I thought I knew you more
And if he hurts your spine, just squeal and whine
Or find a velvet saddle for your concubine
Oh, Monsieur Albacore 
Your hands are such a bore
The sun does not smile for you
But it is ajar

With your piston cocked 
And fingers soiled for labour
Oh, a pillock in your hand, a streetlight stand
And bedsheets made of paper

It’s such a lifeless thing, to prance and swing
Without ever hearing the words you sling
At all the eyeless crowds 
And yet, you still carouse
My friend, will you see this to the end?
They said, “we don’t believe you, tunny
You won’t get money ‘till you leak out honey”
Oh, you’re such a souse
You’ve nought to arouse
And trust, I know
You went to Taos a long time ago

Oh, a balustrade
That’s filled with maids and kraber
A pillar in your hand, a bovine gland
And pinstripes roundly tapered

Oh, you spit success when you hide in jest
You tell them all you’ve got a mighty, heady chest
But you’ve got none to show, do you?
When they strip your robes
Oh, Monsieur Albacore
Just admit you’re a big fat oaf
