- Track Name: Where the Body Is
-
Just go with your first thought
Don't think it over
You know where the body is
You work twenty five hours
Go home and still can't let go
You know where the body is
Heavy rocks and magnets
Dotting all the i's
You know where the body is
The eyes you hide
Sunglasses, looking down
You know where the body is
So peaceful, resting
I should go home tonight
I have no alibi
I know where the body is
The forest calls to me
Under the leaves
I know where the body is
So peaceful, resting
Piano wires in your head
Rattle of birds
You know where the body is
Grab at the wings
Humming towards sleep
You know where the body is

-
In his tailored suit
In his polished shoes
If the wind was just right
As he fell through the sky
Where did he go?
And we all look for clues
In the drawing he looks like you
With a pearl on his tie
And the gold in his eye
It’s not about the parachute
He didn’t have the perfect plan
It’s all about the leap of faith
How well you land
And I have no proof
Just a feeling that it’s true
In his tailored suit
In his polished shoes
If the wind was just right
As he fell through the sky

That was the first time
I ever put on my silks
You only have three rides
I was standing there
in my silks
and I felt good!
I could see all of the faces
Geoff Lewis, Frankie Durr
And I thought to myself
all of a sudden—
I’m in the same room
getting changed
So I walk in the parade ring
and all my family’s there
And they’re all saying,
Go on, go on

Her name is Amber
or Crystal or Tiffany
He drives a forklift
on the second nightshift at the cannery
And you thought you had him pegged
as a drug-runner or a gang-banger
but the tattoo on his arm had little feet
He said “I put it there for my daughter
'cause her time on this earth—
it was two weeks”
I found myself staring
at the silver nail polish
Thinking about my horoscope
and now I know I didn’t get my wish
Maybe I should pray to the ghost
of Mother Theresa, help me
oh let it go, it’s too much
Times like these I wish I could
believe in God
so I wouldn’t judge
How long will it be
Till you forgive me?

I should go home tonight
She's waiting for me there
In the porch lamp light
In the orange chair
Memory fails me
I can't remember where
I started thinking about her
Oh and in my dream
She is always alive
Oh and she'll never know
As long as I don't tell her

michael savage - beat, synth, organ - Track Name: Hummingbird
-
Hummingbird caught in the rafters
Flying around the room
Chased her around for an hour
Hit her with the broom
She fell, spiraling down
Wings a blur of brown
And you were that bird
Small as compared
Your heart beat so fast
Your hands spiders and glass

-
Each in its wax room
Will become soon
A buzzing bee
And on the tenth night
My very first flight
A reconnaissance
Zzz, zzz, zzz, zzz
I am a worker bee
You want to save me
Ha, ha, ha!
My strange dance
Will show you the way
And the distance
To the honey
Ha, Ha, Ha, Happy

erin - vocals, electric guitar, nylon-string guitar, e-bow guitar - Track Name: The Beloved One
-
I wish I could be there
Then, when you were there
To see you seeing that Rodin
Myself, I wouldn't look
I'd turn away, my back to that sun
watching how light falls
on the beloved one
You’ll say, we'll go back there
and camp out in front of
the unfinished Gates of Hell
where the most beautiful
thing you ever saw was also
the most terrifying--
The Beloved One
Someday I'll stand in line
and brave the crowds
and see with you
I want to believe in God
It's not that I’m afraid of death
I just want to keep watching this with you
And the most terrifying thing I ever felt was
letting you change me into
the beloved one

-
Head back and your eyes closed
In the back seat, in your dirty clothes
If you're breathing, only God knows
What friends brought you here?
Death would not stop for you
He says you're half-hearted about that too
As if Life said, “I'm not through with you,
I'm taking you back”
Don't look down
Just hold on
We will be there soon
I am strong enough to carry you
You're still angry and you're still alone
The world's still fucked up
and your father's still gone
And you were right, and you were wrong
Don't you get it?

De que se trata—
El hombre (un hombre? yo no se)
Cuantos años tiene?
Setenta y siete
Acaba de escribir un libro
Acaba de tener un hijo
Si yo fuera soltera
y talvez mas vieja
De que se trata—
El libro (un libro? yo no se)
sobre la salud y la muerte
(Lyrics adapted from an office i-chat, two coworkers texting in Spanish about a very dashing septuagenarian.)
Who is that?!
Some man... (el? un?)
How old is he?
Seventy seven (!)
He just finished writing a book
and recently became a father (!)
If I were single
and perhaps a little older...
What’s the book about?
Some book, I don’t know… something
about healthy living and death
--
erin - vocals, nylon-string guitar
michael - casio keyboard - Track Name: Undertow
-
There’s a strong
undertow
I’ve gone down
underneath
my own pride
Oh my—where did I lose sight
I try not to hold too tight
Try so hard not to drift from you
Where did I lose sight of ground?
Don’t forget I am one of your kin
Come on, we’ve got that long oar
We’ve been down like this before
Don’t forget what you came here for
You are tired, just like me
There’s refuge across the sea
