The Fruit Bats Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.A Bit Of Wind

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

It takes a little shake up from the rift
It takes a bit of wind to get you to lift
It takes sandstorms and signs from God

It takes a piece of grass floating on a breeze
It takes a plastic bag stuck up in a tree
It takes cold fronts and sackcloth skies

It takes leviathans down in the abyss
The hidden messages of the things that you missed
It takes mouthfuls of Niagara Falls


2.The Wind That Blew My Heart Away

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

'Cross the rows of palm trees blows
The wind that blew my heart away
Rusty waves try in vain to catch
The wind that blew my heart away

Turn this plane around right now
'Cause I'm done with all this shit
Save yourself, save yourself
'Cause I'm sinking with this ship

Cross the waves of static fading plays
The song that stole my heart away
Satellites have all been downed by
The wind that blew my heart away

My heart away
My heart away
My heart away


3.Slipping Through The Sensors

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

Slipping on through the sensors
Tripping over rails and fences
Slipping on through the sensors
Made in the mists of the abyss

Slipping on through the sensors
Tripping over rails and fences
Slipping on through the sensors
Superheroes fighting crime
With love and broken fists

Slipping on through the sensors
Tripping over rails and fences
Slipping on through the sensors
Made in the mists of the abyss

Slipping on through the sensors
Tripping over rails and fences
Slipping on through the sensors
Made in the mists of the abyss

Slipping on through the sensors
Tripping over rails and fences
Slipping on through the sensors
Superheroes fighting crime
With love and broken fists


4.Legs Of Bees

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

Let your pollen fly
On the legs of bees
Through the pines
Through the briers

Down to the bright sea
Let it fall on the fields and the haystacks
On the eye of a flea on a bears back

Take your earplugs out
Hear what the birds have to say
They've been trying, they've been trying
And the birds tire today

And they're waiting around for the wind
Sick of waiting around for a win

Up at the lookout point
And down in make out creek
Love is lying in the sun
And oh thank god for sleep

And they're waiting around for a sign
Sick of waiting around for a sign

I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying

I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying


5.Lazy Eye

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

You are a diamond in the dirt
And you're the centipede
Who broke the camel's back
You didn't think I'd get hurt

Love burns a circle in the snow
You're frog eggs in the sky
That rain on the GWB
And the palisades

Love turns tripe into gold
Love burns a circle in the snow
Hey, you there with the lazy eye
Turn , turn it to me

Let me hear you say it one more time
You, you there with the lazy eye


6.Rainbow Sign

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

Bring on the rain
Tell the Lord
Make it so, make it so

Bring on the wind
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow
Waiting for the rainbow sign

Bring on the hail
Let it sting, let it sting, let it sting
Beneath a cloud of crows
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing, let 'em sing


7.When U Love Somebody

Lyricist:Eric Johnson

Baby, remember on the bus
And my hand was on your knee
When U love somebody
It's hard to think about anything
But to breathe

Baby, I am the cub
Who was washed out in the flood
When U love somebody
And bite your tongue
All you get is a mouthful of blood
