I Slowly Floated Away

"One Day I Slowly Floated Away" by Eisley




One day I slowly floated away
One day I slowly floated away

All the war horses wore rubber bands
to hide their hooves from sinking sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
Their destiny was not to die

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies were growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chin

You've got a lot of nerve coming here
Your eyes are beating rhythm's way
Faster than the speeding bullet that
took the life of your radio

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

And in the corner chair
soft and soap-scented
my darling cries apologies

We foresee the mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
Will not go unthanked or unseen

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie


oooh-ooo-ahhhhh- aaahh-ah-ahhh-ah-ahh-ahhhhh
oooh-ooo-ahhhhh- aaahh-ah-ahhh-ah-ahh-ahhhhh

Bus Bus

"Bus Bus" by Amy Ray



Hey baby
My baby
Sweet baby
I'm on the bus tour bus bunk
I got my headphones on
and I'm listening to Elliot
rock rock rock rock
rock me to sleep
I got the phone on vibrate
in case you call me
rock me to sleep
I got my heart on migrate
in case you need to tell me

You love me
love me
love me
even though I stay gone so long
So long baby I've been longing for you
and the sweet smells of our home

I hope nobody dies while I'm out here
hope nobody dies
I hope nobody cries when I'm not there
hope nobody cries

Snow in March
Spring in May
Do you remember
Younger days
Before the arctic ice was
turning to sea
Before the polar bear was
drifting helplessly

Oh it's a rollaway rollaway rollaway bed
roll away with you baby
and I'll take anything
that'll help me sleep
So save me save me
Save me a piece
of the heart that pumps the blood
right through your veins
Save me a piece
of the magic hours
that the twilight brings

Now bring them to me
bring them to me
on the bus tour bus bunk
Meet me in the bunk now baby
or am I out of luck now baby
Am I pushing my luck

I got the phone on vibrate
in case you call me
pushing my luck
I made some room now baby
in case you've come to save me

Snow in March
Spring in May
Do you remember
younger days
Before the arctic ice was
turning to sea
Before the polar bear was
drifting helplessly

rock rock rock
rock rock rock
I got the phone on baby
in case you need me
rock rock rock
I got the phone on vibrate
in case you call me
rock rock rock
rock rock rock





Give Me Love


"Give Me Love" by George Harrison




Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
Heart and soul

Om m m m m m m m m m m m m m
M m m my lord . . .

Please take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

Won't you please
Oh won't you

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
Heart and soul

Om m m m m m m m m m m m m m
M m m my lord . . .

Please take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

Veins

Veins by Charlotte Martin




I know you know
Let the life come back and force through my veins
It goes, it goes
Through the protons, neutrons securing the frame
Say yes say no
It's a matter of me forcing the praise
Put on the new
Woman, man, and child who are breaking the braces

The catacombs
And revolving doors inside of my brain
Preachers and whores
And the neon pulpits burst into flames
I come from both
Sides of me and either side of their tracks
Humbling my ghosts
Letting life that floods my veins bring me back

The unshackling of the chains on my wrists
And the loyalty to pain that resists
And the greatest books are talking about this
Why must everybody die to exist?

Hello my love
Seeking passages and food for your soul
On 95
Look ahead cause they're not filling that hole yet
Come lay your hands
Over mine and it will make us both brave
Braver to know
Let the light, the life force back in our veins

The unshackling of the chains on my wrists
And the loyalty to pain that resists
And the greatest books are talking about this
Why must everybody die to exist?

Are you ready for the power of god?
Are you waiting for the saints to all nod?
At the girl who should be raised from the dead?
At the demons who've been forced from my head?

Hey
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah I've come undone
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah I've come undone

The unshackling of the chains on my wrists
The loyalty to pain that resists
And the greatest books are talking about this
Why must everybody die to exist?

Are you ready for the power of god?
Are you waiting for the saints to all nod?
At the girl who should be raised from the dead?
