Pink & Sour (04:15)

Califone • Roots & Crowns

along your skin lost my language black lip and red carnation safe house safe tap shoes break union station marble wrapped in malpractice quiet in the sway
oooo-
sing to me pink and sour
oooo-
drop down drop down
de-sung ribcages shelter
wound river languid
husk of old jet
sweet light tavern in the morning
taxi driver silent hard long hands
oooo-
kill the kitchen kitchen light
oooo-
drop down drop down safe house dead trying to whisper a soft vaccination cotton in the calm along your side lost my language on sand and smoke foundation loose in the sway oooo-sing to me pink and sour oooo-kill the kitchen kitchen light

Spider's House (03:49)

Califone • Roots & Crowns

the icicles chime
fingerings lost
in the motions of our hands
sit just as you are

lost in the crime
carry the choir
age and peel

after the quiet bleeds
peel and age
familiar peace
in the pain

pulling you wrong
in soft belief and midnight
finish a violent quiet freeze

the carnival fighters are
sharing a bed tonight
bruised in the hay

the circle around the brawl divides
in frozen rain
on spider's house

after the quiet bleeds
peel and age
familiar peace
in the pain

raindrops tremble
and wait to freeze
on spiders house

the violins collide into a rabbit chase a lost try lay easy now in warmer hours and steal back the century the open window lets it in sunday noises scratch you awake our mice and skulls old wives projected on the black sand thin my blood california if we ever get to home plant myself among the weeds and pray the violins collide into a rabbit chase of careful words plant you deep down in the clay

scratched and bit crawl out of the faultline this book is the mask on the bride circle til the engine dies tail high let it lay burn our dead shin high it's almost surgical the way you shatter when you hit the water drawn on the window steam claws on sleep addiction this conversation is the dust on anything slow and green burn our dead this unwilling is the way you shatter when you hit the water

The Orchids (02:57)

Più info

Califone • Roots & Crowns

When all the numbers swim together and all the shadows settle
When doors forced open shut again a flytrap and a petal
My eyes burn and claws rush in to fill them
And in the morning after the night i fall in love with the light
It is so clear i realize and here at last i have my eyes

When all the figures sound retreat the soft skin starts to shrivel
When dreams made real become less sweet the orchid and the metal
My sex turns and claws rush in to spill them
And in the morning after the night i fall in love with the light
It is so pure i can arrive without the fear of seeing my eyes

When all the characters full size and every moon is level
When all the spirits burn in lies as center grief by steel
My eyes burn and claws rush in to fill them
But in the morning after the night i fall in love with the light
It is so clear i realize and now at last i have my eyes

Burned by the Christians (03:57)

wire in the teeth
while we warm twine
while we breathe
skip notes and bless
where you been
we lose days

-broke hearts are whole
or burned by the christians recline
held under your tongue like a tiny stone
carried home

sung throated air down your spine crown cooks light
we wolfed and whale bellied on
we shone down
blinder and winterless days
lost a black ocean recline
held under your tongue like a tiny stone
paid and gone

-broke hearts are whole
or burned by the christians recline
held under your tongue like a tiny stone
carried home
