So She woke up from her daze
And then She picked a 10-leaf clover
From the girl-next-door's vast clover field
And screamed aloud: "There's Magic in the air!"
And there was Magic in the air
Yet in her celebratory dance
She snagged the buckle on her pants
And down they fell infront of everyone
And there was Magic in the air
'Cuz you could see her underwear
Yes there was Magic in the air
Sometimes these moments pass us by
And never stop to say goodbye
They sail upon the restless seas
Of distant human memories
And when there here we ask them if they'll stay
"No, we're too busy driftin'" they say
And they go driftin' away
So He hopped aboard a fishing boat
And sailed across the ocean
'Til the waves turned into images
Of women singing songs about the sea
Singing songs 'bout being free
"Oh look!" he said, "A different creature
I have never seen before,
I think I'll call her mermaid
And I'll tell her tale to sailors from the sea
But he did not know in truth She
Was nothing more than a little grey manatee!
Sometimes these moments pass us by
And never stop to say goodbye
They sail upon the restless seas
Of distant human memories
And when there here we ask them if they'll stay
"No, we're too busy driftin'" they say
And they go driftin' away
She cracks a smile now
When She thinks about the times She had
That badgered her when they first knew her
Now She loves to see them when their here
She holds them dear
He laughs aloud now
When he thinks about the fantasies
That He thought were realities
And how He told these truths to everyone
Though it's now clear that He was wrong
It does no harm to hold a cheer for memories gone
So many moments pass us by
And never stop to say goodbye
They sail upon the restless seas
Of distant human memories
And when there here we ask them if they'll stay
"No, we're too busy driftin'" they say
And they go driftin' away

Well I don't need no alcoholic drink
To tell you that I care
To tell you that you're beautiful
And compliment your hair
You dance the tango with your life
And That I so respect
But I can only dance the mambo
Like I did when we first met
Together, however,
The tango and mambo clash like this outfit
And I try so much to dance your dance
But I haven't got it yet
Cause it's hard for guys like me to be
So unconditionally witty
I wear 2 different socks each day
And try to write new ditties
I try to sing real good for you
But I can't, and it's a pity
Cause deep inside me
You inspire me
Like the grandest city
So I'm singing you this love song
Where I jump into falsetto
Cause I can't sing real high in my chest voice
But I still love you
And being with you lifts me up and makes me oh so high!
You toss me up into the air
Like Pizza Pie
I touch the sky
It's just the way you move your hips
And eat your cereal
That makes me feel so fond of you
It's quite ethereal
I open up a book to read
You say "I love that book.
And I would probably read it too
If you knew how to cook!"
And though this comment makes me out
To be a common crook
I try my best to make you laugh
And you give me that look
Cause it's hard for guys like me to be
So unconditionally witty
I wear 2 different socks each day
And try to write new ditties
I try to sing real good for you
But I can't, and it's a pity
Cause deep inside me
You inspire me
Like the grandest city
So I'm singing you this love song
Where I jump into falsetto
Cause I can't sing real high in my chest voice
But I still love you
And being with you lifts me up and makes me oh so high!
You toss me up into the air
Like Pizza Pie
I touch the sky
Oh yes, and I will cook for you
But I don't think you'll like it
Cause when I try to cook for you
It ends up tasting like shit
And though I know if I spent more time
On that, and not this song
I'd learn to cook so very well
And you would prove me wrong
What can I do?
I love you more
Than anyone
Has done before
But I also love
This music too
And it's not for me
It's all for you
That's why I'm singing you this love song
Where I jump into falsetto
Cause I can't sing real high in my chest voice
But I still love you
And if I help around the house
I know I'd make you high
But I also know that if I cooked you
Things like Pizza Pie
They'd make you cry
(I really am that bad...)
And if I couldn't sing some more
I think that I would be sad
So please just let me sing some more
And I promise I will try
To cook
Without a sigh

Well I'm not sure what happens next
To tell the truth I'm kind of lost
So many pathways lead astray from where I've sat
To catch a falling maple leaf and stick it in my hat
For I am strumming on the brick walls
Of the well inside my soul
Just trying to find an ancient rain song
That will make the empty full
I've got a pocket full of sticky notes
And ten strikes on the wall
And I know if I can Climb
Then I can Fall
My twisting, dark soliloquy drifts far
And then collides inside
A warm raindrop in my eye
Guitar strings and friendship rings
Are passing wonders in the Spring
Goodbye, goodbye goodbye goodbye!
Willamette waters wash me down
And cleanse me of my broken crown
For I have lent my brightest spark
To fleeting mantras in the dark
And longing cut your leather bounds
Let fall the tethers to the ground
I wake in calm without a sound
To find I found myself in Eugenetown
But what can I do?
Nothing, nothing nothing!
Nothing at all
I am a piece lost in the pile
Well we met Death down by the Bridge
There's some blue ribbons in the fridge
In searching blindly for some truth in the façade
We fucked around a lot this year
But alas, so did god
My sweeping Ocean Mystery
Swashbuckles bravely back at me
Unbows my buckled knees
Dirty ties and flirty highs
What fair ephemeralities
Can make me beg
Please, Please please please please please please please?
Willamette waters wash me down
And cleanse me of my broken crown
For I have lent my brightest spark
To fleeting mantras in the dark
And longing cut your leather bounds
Let fall the tethers to the ground
I wake in calm without a sound
To find I found myself in Eugenetown
To find I found myself in Eugenetown
