Digeridoo It 03:30
She pays attention to the gridwork in the sky It indicates we’re near And then she’ll learn to sing the termite lullaby Whispered in her ear But there are creatures in the woods and shoulds and coulds and didn’t matter cause we did it anyways CHORUS: Digeree really do it Digeridoo it right before her eyes were the color of maple and wide as the April moon Digeree really do it Digeridoo it right before her eyes were the color of maple and bright as the April moon There’s magic in her eyes, in everything she sees In all that she holds dear We’ll read the secrets written in the rings of trees The answers there are clear But there are creatures in the woods and shoulds and coulds and didn’t matter cause we did it anyways CHORUS She hums the poetry with voices of the past Traveling the years The wood is sturdy but you know it never lasts There’s nothing to fear But there are creatures in the woods and shoulds and coulds and didn’t matter cause we did it anyways CHORUS

Queen Be 03:34
She likes to watch the ants march in a row Feeding them jellybeans Wondering how all the others know To take orders from the queen Imaginate yourself on a clementine There’s nothing in the world as carefree as a drunken ant on mulberry wine CHORUS: Brigitte, queen of the anthill, where could she be Brigitte, queen of the beehive bureaucracy Oh she would run for her honey To be an ant, to be a bee She likes to watch the bees so refined Busily come and go She asked them to pollinate her mind But they stung her with a no Imaginate yourself on an apple tree There’s nothing in the world as careful as the footwork of a bumblebee CHORUS Her paper wings could never compete Cause real queens don’t pretend The nectar of power is just as sweet As enemy or as friend Imaginate yourself on a yellow rose There’s nothing in the world as careless as when she turned on the gardening hose CHORUS

Cold Feet 03:30
Molly was a wandering one, kept her lovers till she’s done Breaking hearts she doesn’t care Every month’s her moving day, get too close you’ll overstay Why settle when there’s so much more CHORUS: Her cold feet getting colder and Molly’s getting bolder Keep it quick and keep it short Before it gets too sweet While her lover sleeps at home, Molly sneaks out all alone Spreading her lipstick smile Then one night, forty below, she got locked out in the snow Leaving her frostbitten toes CHORUS Molly, keep on looking you’ll find it One more whiskey, one more alibi Cause cold feet doesn’t mean there’s a warm heart Just make a fresh start, and you’ll feel complete CHORUS

Hey don’t worry it’s ok the other kids don’t wanna play It’s just they don’t quite see things how you do -ooh Why worry about monkey bars when in your head we fly with stars And travel through the cosmos me and you CHORUS: You don’t need ‘em, little one Got a universe deep inside yourself You don’t need ‘em, little one You got me, and you don’t need anyone else They called you kid with cloudy eyes, and then they found to their surprise The doctor said there’s one thing they can do -ooh But they could never comprehend the way that you and I are friends And how I will be always there with you CHORUS Am I in your head, or am I the truest thing you’ve got Does it really matter what is real and what is not We can be whatever we want to be, create reality With the infinite reaches of your mind Remember running in the sky, it’s far too soon to say goodbye There’s nothing wrong with sometimes feeling blue -ooh But don’t listen to mom and dad, those pills will only make you sad Cause you’ll miss me and I will miss you too CHORUS

Hold On 04:20
When the fires went dim, only the sea saw him Wiping away all of his puppeteers He can hold a tune on his silver spoon As he is wading through the years And when you think that your life is on the line Singing out of tune and out of time, out of time CHORUS: Hold on to what you’ve got, when humanity is shot In the name of who -ooh Hold on to what you know, cause their history won’t show What you know is true -ooh When the water’s dry, he knows it’s time to die He’s selling seashells on the battlefield But though his ears are ringing, he is still singing The melody will be his shield And when you think that your life is on the line Singing out of tune and out of time, out of time CHORUS The shattered lookingglass prefers to see the past With tinted windows of a submarine But now his voice is sore, his heart can take no more His ears are rattled by the guillotine And when you think that your life is on the line Singing out of tune and out of time, out of time CHORUS
