salamander

climb on up now from the slippery dark rest your belly on a sunny rock hey, isn't the light ok? isn't the day alright? well what if your head won't raise to the sun? catch the rain on your tongue set your eyes on the truth surrender your spirit to the wind set your heart free climb on up now from the slippery dark rest your belly on a sunny rock hey, isn't the light ok? isn't the day alright? well what if your head won't raise to the sun? catch the rain on your tongue

polar boy

he's got his purple nose pressed against your icy window perhaps you will allow polar boy in so he can warm himself by your fire polar boy is looking for fire you surely should avoid any risky innuendo he'd like to thaw his frozen frame against your skin you know he's flaming with desire polar boy is playing with fire polar boy is playing with fire polar boy, polar boy he does deserve to swing he surely should be swinging from a noose now he's speeding through the school zone liquored up and loose likely to flip and burn in a fire polar boy is swallowing fire polar boy...

away with the swine

Jesus turned water into wine on a merry occasion a miracle for caananites, a wedding celebration and i do realize moderation is a truly wise ideal away with the swine, with the demons of insanity away with the swine. away with indecency set the mad men free i was freed when i was a child in parochial school dress although i rarely really ran wild one sister swore i was possessed under oath i would have to confess how my friends and i set fires away with the swine, with the demons of insanity away with the swine. away with indecency set the mad men free away with the swine, with the demons of debauchery away with the swine. away with indecency set the mad men free away with the swine, with the demons of insanity away with the swine. away with idolatry. set us all free. la la la la la la la la la on a merry occasion la la la la la la moderation is a truly wise ideal

the ocean

i have tasted poison, still i remain restored by centuries of saving seas where living waters pour i am the ocean purified by all the tears of time i am bitter and sublime i am the ocean disregard the wreckage under healing tide all the shame in jesus' name was covered when he died we are the ocean, glorious and sanctified by pain we are blessed by the rain we are the ocean acid clouds will threaten but you won't be defiled cleansing love from god above will shower you dear child you are the ocean, beautiful and driven by the wind you are wondrous deep within you are the ocean, i am the ocean purified by all the tears of time i am bitter and sublime i am the ocean we are the ocean you are the ocean...

if you're listening

when the father formed man from the earth with his hands he breathed into my soul when he made the woman too well for anybody's good he had to know how they wouldn't heed his advice so they had to leave paradise driven away from that garden long ago has the sign of the covenant dimmed in your sky? will we ever find gold? follow all seven stripes across my eyes am i young or old? it is reward enough to survive men less fortunate have been skinned alive i'd rather be forgiven than enlightened grace is a gift even more refined than magic dust mercy a quality more divine than trust if you're listening to me now if you're listening to me now i wouldn't blame you anyhow for runnin' me out of town i have not suffered nearly enough for the crime that i've done i hear laughter above i have angels who love me i'm a lucky one for the sins that i've committed against trusting friends i've outwitted i might've been staring into the barrel of a gun grace is an offering more refined than magic dust mercy a quality more divine than trust if you're listening to me now if you're listening to me now i wouldn't blame you anyhow for runnin' me out of town grace is an offering more refined than magic dust mercy a quality more divine than trust if you're listening to this song if you're listening to this song i hope you find it in your heart i hope you find it in your heart to forgive i hope you find it in your heart to forgive me every wrong

the chicken

i could tell you there's no troll in the valley no tricky ghoul behind the trees yeah i could tell you there is no molester in the alley to take a lead pipe to your knee but you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true rivers flowing through your precious body blue trickle crimson when the chicken claws you i could assure you you could not be swallowed by the ground since we've moved away from la and i could tell you no child of jesus will be found under rubble somewhere today but you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true rivers flowing through your precious body blue trickle crimson when the chicken claws you yes, i could swear it. i will not betray another friend i've found true love and i've lost an eye and i might promise never to hurt you again, cross my contrite heart, hope to die but you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true rivers flowing through your precious body blue trickle crimson when the chicken claws you...
