Creep On Creepin' On

Timber Timbre Creep On Creepin' On Lyrics
1.Bad Ritual

There's a hair on the bed
The clock has stopped ticking
And nothing remotely romantic has been said

Let's not pass on the steps
Let's take the season very easy
Let's take pills, salt water, let's keep looking ahead

Oh, it's a bad, bad ritual
Oh, but it calms me down
Oh, it's a bad, bad ritual
Oh, but it calms me down

There is a history in pictures
There is evidence in boxes
There is proof of your love for him, long after it's dead

And every creak, a trigger
I will think of you with others
I could not smother out that fire in my head

And I saw your levitating chair
I found your long blond hairs
I felt your poltergeist presence in the frame of the bed

Every creak is a trigger
I will think of you with others
I found depravity convinced me I may no longer care

Oh, it's a bad, bad ritual
Oh, but it calms me down
Oh, it's a bad, bad ritual
Oh, but it calms me down

Oh, it's a bad, bad ritual
Oh, but it calms me down
Oh, it's a bad, bad ritual
Oh, but it calms me down

3.Creep On Creepin' On

From your chair, my narrative tonight
Is your dickless cousin, brother, father, pet, friend, husband
or wife
A lavender scent
A bone-orchard of hearts seems to surround you
As you stare each gift horse straight in the mouth
Stare my arrow down
I was invited, I was called out to watch you frolic
And dance

Oh, I buried my head in my hands
I buried my heart there in the sand
I was cock-blocked, cured, encharmed
I was ferociously put upon until it was clear
I should not keep on, I'll just creep on creepin' on
Yes I will, I'll not keep on
I'll just creep on creepin' on

Fell out of this station to levitate your bed
And move her hair on to my chest
Exposing her neck and I tear through
Put you into my arms
And my stomach dropped as you shifted me off to stop
The ectoplasm coiled like a hovering halo of smoke
And our beloved invention
Is conjured each night in your throat

Oh, I buried my head in my hands
I buried my heart there in the sand
I was cock-blocked, cured, encharmed
I was ferociously put upon until it was clear
I should not keep on, I'll just creep on creepin' on
Yes I will, I'll not keep on
I'll just creep on creepin' on
Or do I try one more time?
No, I'll not keep on
I'll just creep on creepin' on


4.Black Water

All I need is some sunshine
All I need...
All I need is some sunshine
All I need...

The siren called beyond the treeline
With another one for the caves
And in the tarn beyond those birches
Is a spirit that I crave

And from the island people watched you
You set that viking ship ablaze
We reached the moon falls icy cauldron
And found the spirit that I crave

All I need is some sunshine
All I need...
All I need is some sunshine
All I need...

You've fallen barefoot past the treeline
Peeping boned-eyed, birches sway
And a thousand whitefish floating belly up
In the spirit that I crave

And we threw ourselves right into it
Where lay the bodies had been claimed
We dove a third, a fourth, a fifth
Banned to the spirit that I crave

All I need is some sunshine
All I need...
All I need is some sunshine
All I need...

I found empathy from madness
Deliverance from malaise
My heart is filled with gladness
At the only spirit that I crave

All I need is some sunshine
All I need..
All I need is some sunshine
All I need...

Black Water (pull me down)
Black Water (pull me down)
Black Water (pull me down)
Black Water (pull me down)
(Repeat to end)

6.Woman

Hand to, hand to
Mouth to, mouth to
Mind to, mind to
Mouth to middle

Oh, woman
Why aren't you moving with me yet?
Do you forget what you tried to remember?
Do you remember what you tried to forget?

Hand to, hand to
Mouth to, mouth to
Mind to, mind to
Mouth to middle

Oh, woman
It's an omen, this is it
But I forget what I tried to remember
I remember all I tried to forget


7.Too Old To Die Young

These signs of natural disasters
Predictions of a brutal force
In case you're thinking of escaping
Before you wake, I'll take your horse

No incantation now will save us
Now that we're too old to die young
You may not look inside my mind anymore
But always standard time takes over

I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now

My eunuch on your mystic parkway
I kept my eyes and arms bereft
Our garden would not grow by flash light
I kept so quiet I went deaf

I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up

I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now

You may not look inside my mind anymore
Now you may leave my arms of moss
And it's time we burned our bridges down
So I know I won't come creeping to your cross

I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now


8.Lonesome Hunter

What did that bad man put in you?
Did those rotten kids cross a line?
I'm afraid I'll never understand, baby
And I'm so sorry you had such a bad time

Well, I have done some truly awful things
And you must be very terrified
Well, you have every reason to be frightened
Since you've been readin' my mind

Oh, who am I to deny this moment?
And who am I to even question it?
There is a cross on the mountain, baby
There is a cross glowing over your head

Please break this spell you have me under
Every heart is a lonesome hunter
Please break this spell you have me under
Oh yes, every heart is a lonesome hunter

Sparrows at your window
Starlings at your door
Magpies wherever we go
Is it blackbirds forevermore?

Well, I'm staring at a hole in my head
And I've been staring through a hole in your head
And I'm moving like a zombie, baby
I am a zombie comin' slow to your bed

Well, who am I to deny this moment?
And who am I to even question it?
There is a cross on my mountain, baby
There is a cross glowing over your head

Please break this spell you have me under
Every heart is a lonesome hunter
Please break this spell you have me under
Oh yes, every heart is a lonesome hunter
Is a lonesome hunter
Is a lonesome hunter
Every heart is a lonesome hunter


9.Do I Have Power

In a movement of a thousand helping hands
I am not beyond the saccharine of sycophantic rants
In a moment of a wilderness exposed
Is this lack of wisdom better than a charismatic soul
And I'm bringing up blue horse meat
Thinking that I've lost control

Do I have power
Do I have power
Do I have power over it
Do I have power
Do I have power
Do I have any power over it

For a moment can I just pretend you're mine
Would it kill you now to placate my chauvinistic mind
For a moment as my horse haunts harm ago
Bring the hypnotist back here to get me through another song
And I'm bringing up blue horse meat
Wondering where I went wrong

Do I have power
Do I have power
Do I have power over it
Do I have power
Do I have power
Do I have power over it
