1.Our Children Were the Stars

Quon, Nathan Ray Warkentin

And oh, go tell the mountainside, go tell the mountainside
Throw its roots to the sea
And oh, how you've grown up so wild, how you've grown up so wild
You're like the mustard seed now

Hey, but I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun and our children were the stars

And oh, who we touched like the sands
It was just like the sands on the shores to come
And oh, and to sail in your eyes, through those dawn colored
eyes
Yeah, we could leave today mama

And I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun and our children were the stars

And I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun she was the moon
I was the sun and our children were the stars

Now heaven, you let your hair hang down
You let your hair hang down all along your breast
Now heaven, you let your hair down
You let your hair hang down all across my flesh
Now, heaven, you let your hair hang down
You let your hair hang down ooh, that's the way it's best

The sky as your crown, the coat tails made of breeze

Made you roll in the leaves till they become your clothes

What's the rush if Eden's lost to us
Let it out girl, you know we're just instruments

And I'll be ready to fall in your arms, oh

Flames they burn, oh, in ecstasy
Flesh divides child but you're entangled with me
Yeah, we'll be having it all, your black summer
And I'm ready to crawl back to your arms, oh, yeah, oh

Yeah, we'll be having it all, your black summer
And I'm happy you called at all

Your soul it's a pearl, well, it should not be thrown to swine

Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever,

Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever,

So the truth, when I look what they've done to you
You're under the knife, well, I'm gonna cut you loose
But you are the kind and we'll make it fit just fine
This tower's a frown, oh, but somehow you make me smile

Yeah, you're a treasure, I'll keep in my pocket forever, ever
Oh, yeah, you're a treasure, you'll keep in my pocket forever,

5.Can't You Hear It Call

Lyricist:Derek Heule, Wyatt Franz Hull, Luke Scott Macmaster, David
Quon, Nathan Ray Warkentin

Break of day's, up ahead where I'm going
The glass is raised 'cause they can't keep me down
You strike the drum, wake the dead, bring the children
You tell your friends that the sea divides

In the trees, in the fields, in the meadows
What's the sound from the underground?
They buried me but I just keep on standing
You're like the wind that gonna rise again

You'll never see it coming baby
But can't you hear it call?
We're gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on

You'll never see it coming baby
But can't you hear it call?
We're gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on

On my knees are saying prayers to the widows
We're dancing free with these gypsy eyes
You see the streams daughter, be like the rivers
You flow with me between earth and sky

They'll never see it coming baby
But can't you hear it call?
We're gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on

You'll never see it coming baby
But can't you hear it call?
We're gonna keep it rolling honey
Here we go on and on and on and on

If that's the way, only way to be
If that's the way, only way to be
If that's the way, only way to be
Then that's the way, only way to be, hey

If that's the way, only way to be
If that's the way, only way to be
If that's the way, only way to be
And we go on and on and on and on

If that's the way, only way to be
If that's the way, only way to be
If that's the way, only way to be
Then that's the way, only way to be

Bearded lady she'll understand you

Hey, no, hey, hey, what's left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what's left to hang on to?

Sink your ships into the deep
Oh, there's a mermaid lips ever so sweet
Serpent gardens, no place for the poor boy
Siren tides in, washed up with no shore

Hey, no, hey, hey, what's left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what's left to hang on to?
Hey, no, hey, hey, what's left to hang on to?

Or you'll tear it down now or return to dust man

The devil's got a holda me
The devil's got a holda me

Well, it's a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely road
The ground, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold, it's so
damn cold
We're all in the same mess alone, no love
No lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, oh no

Oh, let's have a special bed for them, a bed that bones just
like seats
A bed that's not red, it's cold like their heads I watch chrome
In their forms and twisted fears or feel the four winds

Devil's got a holda me
The Devil's got a holda me

Oh, well, I've seen you around all those dark corners
Oh, where the shattered glass shines like stars
Oh, where those boys will be girls and those girls will be for
hire
I swear they're all strung out on those boulevards

She said, just give me a chance to explain
She said, just give me a chance, give me a chance

You come on over, we'll make it right
We'll lay it down then we'll kill the lights, yeah

Oh, from those years of living in her car
Oh, in her soul there's a country but her body's a city
Oh, where those freeways aren't free at all

My serpentine so seasoned
Oh, can't you see the bronze cross upon my headboard?
Oh, and then you, you whisper so gently such haughty words
That I don't want to hear no more

Yes, I know, that it's not ordinary that you're so unordinary
Well, now there's nothing left to do, ooh, but follow you, oh,
oh

And everybody's talking at me
But don't nobody know their place
My sister she knows completely
She gives me just a taste

Well, everybody's talking at me
But don't nobody know their place
My sister she knows completely
But gives me just a taste

My seraphim so softly
You're like the deadly spider creeping under my door
Well, and then you, you crawl into my ear
Spinning all your webs out now till I can't think straight no
more

Yes, I know, it's not ordinary that you're so unordinary
Well, now there's nothing left to do, ooh, but follow you, oh,

And I'm in your house, coming back for whatever I want now, oh
Well, now I'm on your street then I'm at your down

Oh, I told you before I believe in beginnings
Well, I'll say it again we were cursed from the start
Now if this is a joke, someone better start grinning
Oh, but don't tell me girl that it's all in my heart

You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can't, you can't save yourself
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can't, you can't save yourself

Yeah, the dawn broke so quick we forgot of the evening
Well, the moon turned so red they forgot of the dawn
Better learn how to swim like you learned about a sinking
Oh, my cold little girl, gonna reap what you've sown

You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?
Ooh, when you can't, you can't save yourself
You tell me how oh, how are you gonna save me?

Nathan Ray Warventin

If it were up to me, you'd never be down
I got your telephone number from the lost and found
If you take my hand, can you blow my mind?
I don't really want to have to use revenge this time

But are you here to stay?
Don't hesitate, baby, I'm leaving when the fun runs out
Don't you run out on me now

Ya know just give it a go, give it a go, give it a go
And when the going gets tough and the times get hard
These days will tear us apart, tear us apart, tear us apart
Yeah, ya know they'll tear us apart
Don't let them tear you apart

And are you here to stay?
Don't hesitate, baby, I'm leaving when the fun runs out
Don't you run out on me now

Ya know just give it a go, give it a go, give it a go
And when the going gets tough and the times get hard
These days will tear us apart, tear us apart, tear us apart
Yeah, ya know they'll tear us apart
Baby, I'm leaving this time
