Peacebone Lyrics
[Intro]
Bonefish
Bonefish
[Verse 1]
A Peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
Well I've been jumpin' all over, but my views were slowly shrinking
I was a jugular vein in a juggler’s girl
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors
[Pre-Chorus 1]
While half of my fingers are dipped in the sand
You progress in letters but you're used to cooking broccoli
The other side of takeout is mildew on rice
[Chorus]
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
Then we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside, adjust your insides, you're just an inside (Bonefish)
[Verse 2]
I bet the monster was happy when we made him a maze
'Cause he don’t understand intentions and he just looks at your face (Bonefish)
I bet the bubbles exploded to tickle the bath
And all the birds are very curious, all the fish were at the surface
[Pre-Chorus 2]
With half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman and
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night
[Chorus]
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
Then we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside, adjust your insides, you're just an inside (Bonefish)
(Bonefish)
[Verse 3]
Well I start in a hose and I'll end in a yard
When I feel like I'm stealing I can't keep myself from hearing God
Only the taste of your cooking can make me bow on the ground
It was the clouds that carved the mountains (Bonefish)
It was the mountains that made the kids scream
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh well, she bore all her parts but she never was found
You think I'll carve a path through New York
To be an artist, but are you anything
You find out that you can’t ask a baby to cry
[Chorus]
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your inside
Adjust your insides, you're just an inside
[Outro]
Inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside
Inside
Peacebone, peacebone, peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone, (Bonefish) peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone, peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone, peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone, peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone, peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone, peacebone
Peacebone, peacebone

Unsolved Mysteries Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Oh look at me", that sweet boy's plea
His mother cried, "My child's tied his laces"
Why must we move on from such happy lawns
Into nostalgia's palm and feed on the traces?
[Verse 2]
Do you hop to the dance or embarrass the parents?
Who should I please? I go to sleep worrying
That blood in the dark will attract the sharks
Who are not violent, we've all got hungry bellies
[Chorus]
But where are the still unborn
Who could look at me with the one eye
Who could look at me with no eyes
Who could look at me with me in their eyes
[Bridge]
And oh, what's pain? And oh, what's sadness anyway?
It's not crying like a child
And oh, what's graying? And oh, what's aging anyway?
It's not growing in the wild
[Chorus]
I feel like I've just been born
When you look at me with your green eyes
When you look at me with your black eyes
When you look at me with your dead eyes
[Verse 3]
And I can't understand when holding her hand
So womanly, I have to go and kiss her
And what a surprise to look in those eyes
To find suddenly he is Jack, the Ripper
Too suddenly he was Jack, the Ripper
There we go!
[Outro]
He stopped crying like a child
She stopped crying like a child
Jack, the Ripper
Jack, the Ripper
Jack, the Ripper
Cuckoo Cuckoo Lyrics
[Intro]
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
[Verse 1]
The king in I died
He kept floating past my eyes
And singing his songs
Life was good, now death's all wrong
'Cause you can't feel a thing
No heart flutters in late spring
You just drift and pray
For sun-kissed golden days
[Chorus]
And I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
And little kids sliding down the steel park slide
Little kids can't play with things that died
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my mom, I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo
[Verse 2]
He said please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe its amaranthine haze
It's odd where I am
They're people, you're not like them
They just look away
For rain-quenched golden days
[Chorus]
And my tears quench five feet of lawn
And I can scream, but cannot yawn
And people gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and dreamt and ate and died
Don't try and erase what you have done
Put your fingers in a mouth and kiss it if it wants
And where's my friend, I want to hold him tight
He's so far away from mountain lights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo
[Chorus]
And I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
And little kids sliding down the steel park slide
Little kids can't play with things that died
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my mom, I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo
