Lyrics
OUR HOUSE
Our house
Is a house that moves
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean
Our house
Is a house that moves
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean
Hey friend
If you wanna come by
It’s easy to find
It’s easy to find
Hey friend
It’s in front of the sky
In front of the sky
GASOLINE MAN
I’m a gasoline man
I don’t know where I go
I’m gonna drive and drive
I wanna get there on time
I’m a gasoline man
And I know how to ride
I’m gonna drive and drive
Find out where you hide
I’m a gasoline man
I don’t know where I go
I’m gonna drive and drive
I wanna get there on time
I’m a gasoline man
That’s the way I feel
Oh won’t you take my hand
Put it on the wheel
Say a little prayer for the motor
Gasoline baby
Say a little prayer for the motor
Let’s go for a ride
I’m a gasoline man
I set your road on fire
Don’t try to put it out
The flames will just go higher
I’ve got some gas for you
I’ve got some gas for me
But tonight I know
Won’t have enough for two
Say a little prayer for the motor
Gasoline baby
Say a little prayer for the motor
Let’s go for a ride
Thank you Reed, you taught me how to bend
Thank you Wolf, you taught me how to bite
I’m a gasoline man, I don’t know where I go
I’m a gasoline man, gonna get there on time
I’m a gasoline man, gonna find out where you hide
Yeah I’m a gasoline man, I set the road on fire
Say a little prayer for the motor
Say a little prayer for the motor, babe
Say a little prayer for the motor
Say a little prayer for the motor, let’s go
Cos I’m a gasoline man
Yeah I’m a gasoline man
Cos I’m a gasoline man
TV SKY
Sister dances
Sister grooves
Sister invents
Brand new moves
Sister breathes
Sister sings
Sister tries
Brand new wings
Sister dances
Sister beats
Sister invents
Brand new heats
Sister ends
Sister smiles
Sister’s hands are
Butterflies
Sister wanders
Sister times
Sister invents
Brand new crimes
Now sister dances
Sister switches
1-800-tv-sky
We’ve got the tv sky
Too blue to be true
We’ve got the tv sky
And you’ve got it too
Sister dances
Sister grooves
Sister invents
Brand new moves
Sister breaks
Sister whore
Sister walks on
Brand new shoes
We’ve got the tv sky
Too blue to be true
We’ve got the tv sky
And you’ve got it too
We’ve got the tv sky
Too blue to be true
We’ve got the tv sky
And you’ve got it too
SKINFLOWERS
Gimme something skin
Something like a flower
Gimme something warm
Something like a forever
Gimme something heart
Something ready to start
Gimme something strong
And I’ll sing this song
Gimme something skin
Something like a shelter
Gimme something deep
Something you don’t wanna keep
Gimme something love
Something without a glove
Gimme something wrong
And I’ll sing this song
One for the skinflowers
Skinflowers
Gimme gimme gimme
What is burning inside
Will warm up some
Outside
What is burning inside
Will warm up some
Outside
One for the skinflowers
I said skinflowers
Flowers
DAME CHANCE
Yesterday I did see
Dame chance is in the city
I took a breath and I thought
Dame chance is really pretty
Then I began to look around
What the hell did I find
Our shadows were gone for love
Hey, one is up there on a tree
Pushing up the bright bright sun
Pushing up pushing up pushing up
I was born with a crystal heart
A crystal much harder than stone
Sure enough I will fall
But I, I’ll fall in love again
Pushing up pushing up pushing up
I got to find something right
I got to find something bright
I’ll have my honey dance tonight
To welcome, welcome dame chance
Pushing up pushing up pushing up
Gotta find something bright
Yesterday I did see
Dame chance is in the city
She’ll never get to you if you look so down
She’ll never get to you if you look so down
Pushing up pushing up pushing up
THE NIGHT DANCE
Let’s go see the night dance
Up there on the hills
Let’s go see the night dance
Before the sky stops burning
Let’s go join the night dance
Down there by the river
Let’s dance on her crazy sounds
Turn on all the stars
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
Let’s go see the night dance
Up there on the hills
Let’s go see the night dance
Before the sky stops burning
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
Two wings for the president
Two wings for the big fish
Let’s go see the night undress
Let’s go make a mess
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
Gently, in silence
SHE RAINS
She rains
All over the city
She rains
She rains
And the streets look funny
She rains
She rains
All over town
She rains
She rains
Until the sun shines again
She rains
Ain’t easy
Ain’t easy
Loving today
Today
SUMMER EYES
Tonight our city plays a sweet melody
You can hear tomorrow driving down the road
One and one are kissing in the air
One and one are free
Run summer run
We know where you go
Run summer run
You’ve left something behind
I’d like to stay a little longer
Here I can fly, I wonder why
Into the summer eyes
Tonight our city plays a sweet melody
I’ve rented a room with a view
On your eyes
Run summer run
We know where you go
Run summer run
You’ve left something behind
I’d like to stay a little longer
Here I can fly, I wonder why
Into the summer eyes
You’re my choice
Is this my voice
Undulate
You’re my queen
My favorite steam
Undulate
Follow your spine
Make you mine
Undulate
Hit the ground
Follow the sound
Undulate
See you dance
See you trance
Undulate
Can you read my soul ?
Write it on the wall
Undulate
I can fire but I can’t forget
I can fire but I can’t forget
Hey, there are animals in the room
Animals in the room
Hear them calling for food
Calling for food
Hey mister watchman
Tired of watching the birds
Hit the sun every night
Hey mister watchman
Don’t put off the lighthouse
Don’t put off the lighthouse
A big black boat
Coming from the big blue see
The big black boat is full of birds
Birds from the islands
The islands of the the thousand skies
The thousand summer eyes
Hey mister watchman
Stop watching my girl every night
Won’t you leave us alone
Won’t you leave us alone
America, america
The flowers need water
The flowers need water
Undulate
