Of My Favored

vanilla is the flavor of the flavors i most savor
vanilla is the one of my favored
chocolate is the tips of the wise men's brilliant tongue
waiting to be sung by my tongue
and the darkness that is often lofting in periphery
is nothing close to truth to me
chocolate is one thick group of bohemian thieves in need of peace
vanilla is their sage, she never sleeps well
vanilla is the color of the sky i wanna dive in
chocolate is the song i'd wanna hear
and the darkness that is taunting never leaves a remark
for chocolate and vanilla
not one single earshot for chocolate and vanilla
vanilla
of my favored
vanilla la la la
don't chocolate play one pretty mean sonata?
vanilla is the savior of the flavors i most savor
vanilla is the one of my favored
of my favored
vanilla is the one
of my favored
vanilla la la la
of my favored
vanilla is the one (la la la)
vanilla is the one (la la la)
of my favored
vanilla la la la

Farm Song
02:32
|

|
i went to an invite only party on a family farm
and i arrived to open doors and arms
i had a wild hair that you'd be there
we'd dance and dine on wine
the finest fare that you can find here in the states
and we ate on golden plates
among the people
dressed up to the nines
in my thrift store finds
there was a fire burning bright
next to the barn that someone fed all night
and i was warm despite the coming rain
see, the summer time had passed us by
the crops were grown, the grass was high
i found myself still looking for you
there was a kitten in the attic
small and grey without a name
who shivered shook and listened hard
to the thunder and the rain
and i swear you were there
among the people
huddled close inside and drip dried
and
stared outside was getting dark
the sky was so obscured
no one was really sure
how they would make their exit
that's when you arrived and brought the light
a peaceful shining joyful smile
you asked me for a dance
and took my hands
ooo aaa
and all the people
walked out to their cars
turned their headlights on
there was our fire burning bright
beside the barn you slept all night
and there were goats and geese
and pastures to the east

willy was a wittle one when we made friends
he'd play a pirate and we'd sail in his favorite ship
twasn't long before the strong arm adulted him
now he's bill and all his tall friends are worrying with him
and the wind isn't in like it was when
willy was a middle son of a gun toting man
who made his mark as a contract killer
twasn't long before his papa got popped in the chin
now he's gone and wittle bill's grown mad
and the wind isn't in like it was when, man
and the wind isn't in like it was
bill be the willy as luck isn't really a thing
to be counting down is the wrong way
10, 9, 8, 7
man made the heavens with less than a second to lose
and the choice is yours if it's anyones
to be 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
willy was a wittle one
bill be the willy that we used to silly dilly dally with

all that i see these days
are cranes in the sky lining our eyes
but cranes that cannot fly
no cranes that don't fly but build towers by night
for the people looking up and the people passing by
and i have to remember to tell all the folks
it isn't just happening in your town
no it isn't just happening to you
all that i hear these days
is how much the price has raised
to live to breathe to stay here
to be you must pay
and i have to remind you
it isn't just happening in your town
no it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening in your town
no it isn't just happening to you
so if it's not just happening in your town
then we must in fact just be one town
it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening in your town
no it isn't just happening to you
all that i see these days
are cranes in the skyline
and it isn't just happening in your town
no it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening in your town
no it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening in your town
(it isn't just happening)
no it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening in your town
(it isn't just happening)
it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening it isn't just happening
no it isn't just happening to you
no it isn't just happening in your town
(it isn't just happening)
no it isn't just happening to you

yeah it woulda been nice to know the sun was gonna up and explode
yeah it woulda been nice to know
mighta sounded like a symphony falling from the tallest tree
without a ground to reach

the sounding of the strings
when the creator broke the angel's sacred harp
the sounding of the strings
when the creator broke the angel's sacred harp
yeah it woulda been nice to know the sun was gonna up and explode
bet it woulda had a ring to it
bet it woulda had a ring to it
in each and every key the creator breaks the angel's sacred harp
in each and every key the creator breaks the angel's sacred harp
in each and every key
the sounding of the strings

Peyote Pantry

in the darkest of deserts in the valleys of mexico
tarantulas dance from twilight til dawn
they dance on top towers of bird house saguaros
we best follow them
so take my hand let's go together
through the iridescent desert to the peyote pantry
we best follow them
we rose in the sun just to see where we did lay
you'd never believe it
how did we get this way dear
in every direction this cacti protection
we best follow them
so take my hand let's go together
wandering through the night
take my hand let's go together
that peyote pantry keeps looking back at me
i'm thumbing home
come with me let's walk forever
wandering through the night
wandering through the night
we're gonna wander through the night
we best follow them
we best follow them mmm
through the iridescent desert to the peyote pantry
we best follow them
them

take me
take me out to the place
where it's 110 in the shade of the trees
and i swear i'll make it rain
just just like you knew that i would
i'll wait for you
i will wait for you
out where golden grass grows to my waist
and our sweat runs down always the back of my knees
i swear i'll make it rain
til the 5am from monterey come to take you away from me
there i'll be
all alone on lover's point
i'll wait for you
i will wait for you
here in the city on the sea
where my skin turns brown and everybody is beaming
i'll make it rain
til the red eye right out of LAX gotta take you away from me
there i'll be
all alone on lover's point
i'll wait for you
i will wait for you
til the high noon back to sacramento come to bring you on home to me
there i'll be
there i'll be
there i'll be
solo in yolo county waiting for you
i'll be here waiting for you
i will wait for you

feast your eyes on me
do you like
what's there not
is not necessarily not there
see the glass of wine
care to dine
the props are set
the script is bent
and the shapes go great in the right light
as the grape drinks sings
pink clouds blowing round
you think i grin
the lines beside my eyes
say no more
shall we pour ourselves
into every ounce of this
as the vines would say
it's shaping up
prayer flags blowing round
you make me love
like cake and ice cream
rice rolled in seaweed
going together is a dream
going together is a dream
