Track Lyrics

In The Flowers Lyrics

[Intro]

(I'm a dancer, I'm a dancer

I'm a dancer, I'm a dancer

I'm a dancer, I'm a dancer)

[Verse 1]

Met a dancer

Who was high in a field from her movement

Caught my breath on my way home

Couldn't stop that spinning force

I felt in me

Everything around seemed to giggle glee

She walked up with a flower and I cared

[Verse 2]

Saw the dancer

Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms

But I'm always away for weeks

That pass slow my mind gets lost

Feeling envy

For the kid who'll dance despite anything

I walk out in the flowers and feel better

[Bridge]

If I could just leave my body for the night

[Pre-Chorus]

Then we could be dancing

No more missing you while I'm gone

There we could be dancing

And you'd smile and say, "I like this song"

And when our eyes will meet then

We will recognize nothing's wrong

And I wouldn't feel so selfish

I won't be this way very long

[Chorus]

To hold you in time

[Verse 3]

While we were dancing

Early hours, drunken days finally ended

And the streets turned for a pillowcase

Then I fumbled our good lock

Then the ecstasy

Turns to rising light through our windowpane

Now I'm gone, I left flowers for you there

Guys Eyes Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I really want to do just what my body wants to

(If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you)

I really want to do just what my body needs to

(If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you)

I really want to show to my girl that I want her

(If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you)

I really want to show to my girl that I need her

(If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you)

I really want to do just what my body wants to

(If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you)

I really want to do just what my body needs to (I keep it locked right now)

(If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you)

I really want to show to my girl that I want her (I keep it locked right now)

(If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you)

I really want to show to my girl that I need her

[Bridge]

Need her (Need her)

[Verse 2]

I wanna do just what my body needs to

(If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you)

I wanna do just what my body needs to

(If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you)

I wanna show to my girl that I need her (I keep it locked right now)

(If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you)

I wanna show to my girl that I need her

(I really don't know what to do if my body should want to)

So I used my mind and I used my hand, it was what I want to

(I really don't know what to do if my body should want to)

So I used my mind and I used my hand, it was what I want to do

(I really don't know what to do if my body should want to)

So I used my mind and I used my hand, it was what I want to do

(I really don't know what to do if my body should want to)

So I used my mind and I used my hand, it was what I want to do

[Outro]

What I want, what I want

What—

Lion In A Coma Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown

Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise

My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit

Up on the roof is still a riot, the hustling crowds still get me tired

I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief

I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house

I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands

That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain

[Chorus]

This wilderness up in my head

This wilderness needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom

[Verse 2]

Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?

My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully

But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out

There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?

It makes me think my purest dreams are not what they're supposed to be

I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god

And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song

I'm blooming but my roots remind me not to leave them back in time

[Chorus]

This wilderness up in my head

This wilderness needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom

[Verse 3]

Lion in a coma

Sometimes the sun will shine

Unless I am just feeling fine

Sometimes I'm not aware

Where I am or what I care

Sometimes I'm well to do

But I don't know what to do

Sometimes I don't agree

With my thoughts on being free

[Bridge]

Please don't leave me

Things that feel good

I've been lucky

Trying to feel good

Sometimes the sun will shine

Unless I am just feeling fine

Sometimes I'm not aware

Where I am or what I care

Sometimes I'm well to do

But I don't know what to do

Sometimes I don't agree

With my thoughts on being free

Please don't leave me

Things that feel good

I've been lucky

Trying to feel good

[Outro]

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to smell the fine aroma

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to run but cannot roam, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to use his aching bones, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Don't keep the lion in a coma

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to smell the fine aroma

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to use his aching bones, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to run but cannot roam, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Don't keep the lion in a coma

Brother Sport Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Open up your, open up your

Open up your throat

And let all of that time

All of that time, all of that time go

I know it sucks that Daddy's done

But try to think of what you want

You've got to open up your

Open up your, open up your throat

Matt

[Refrain]

Open up your, open up your

Open up your throat

[Verse 2]

Open up your, open up your

Open up your throat

And let all of that time

All of that time, all of that time go

I know it sucks that Daddy's done

But try to think of what you want

You got to open up your

Open up your, open up your throat

Matt

[Pre-Chorus]

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support your brother (Sport brother)

Support your brother

Support (Sport brother)

[Chorus]

You've got his way and what he said

To help you shape the way you play

You've got to get rid of the more

Conservative habits of your mind

You got to weigh all he said

He helped you shape the way you play

You've got to get rid of the more

Conservative habits of your mind

You got to weigh all he said

He helped you shape the way you play

You've got to get rid of the more

Conservative habits of your mind

You got to weigh all he said

He helped you shape the way you play

You've got to get rid of the more

Conservative habits of your mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

(Matt)

Until you're fully grown

You've got a real good shot

Won't help to hold inside
