Bunch Of Cannoli
03:50
|

|
She cooks cannelloni
and they laugh at each other faces.
They look through the window
and guffaw at the lazy neighbour.
And they thrash about and fall down the hill of the park.
They gape at the shiny colors of the fish in the pond.
Close, close, close,
close to midnight...
She puts on her t-shirt
and they go to the party places.
They smoke marijuana
and feel like they're getting crazy.
And as soon they have the munchies
they go back to her house
with a big bunch of cannoli
and bags under their eyes.
Close, close, close,
close to sunrise...

Washing Dishes

Washing dishes
early in the morning.
Life is crazy, that's all...
Watching TV
and singing silly good songs.
That's the meaning of love...
Let me tell you,
in the morning life is good.
Let me tell you,
in the morning life is good.
Life is good!
Let me tell you something more,
once the Saturday has come
all the happiness comes to me...

Earrings

I like your translucent heart shaped
earrings, earrings.
I like how they look on you.
Shining, shining.
They make you look like a star.
Splendid, splendid.
I like your amazing skin
touching my skin.
Even though you can't stop complaining
about summer heat...
I love you.

Water

We understood in the middle of the song
that you were singing about you and me.
And it's not cold anymore in this room...
Our song played over and over for long
and that music set us free for a month
And it's not cold anymore in this room...
Wearing raincoats under the roof
and umbrellas and rainboots.
And the swimming pool between us
is calling us.
And I'd like to be a swimmer
to take you down.
Down.
Down.
Down the water
take you down.

The Market

In the market
for my medicine!
In the marketplace,
it's fun for me!

Elephant Desire
03:50
|
|||
|
Everytime you run.
Everytime you go.
Everytime you feel the clouds
and the sun.
Every feeling's right
and the scare is real.
Superstition head
lonely in the pillow.
Elephant desire
the song of the growl.

Dragon Flame
02:44
|
|||
|
Dragon flame
on an empty place.
The fast and distant run of the ostriches
is happening right now, and not far away.
The sleeping beauties are coming, and the sun
is rising in the morning above living songs.
Living songs and colorful water
created for the world.
Scratching walls and looking for another
view of the same floor.
Among us flies a dragon flame.
Among us it flies, far away.

About You
03:30
|
|||
|
Been thinking about you,
something in my mind don't wanna let you go.
Still thinking about you,
something in my mind don't wanna let you go.
Every part of me is in your mind.
Every part of you is in my mind.
Tell me something I don't know.
Tell me where to go.
To fly over you.
To fly over me.
Every phone is gonna ring tonight.
Every phone is gonna ring tonight.
Flying over you.

City/Town
01:48

Times goes by
staring at her picture.
She's not around.
This place is boring and I want her back!
I'm stone broke.
I'm waiting for her call.
She's not around.
The city is far and I'm still in town!

Buenas Noticias
03:26
|
|||
|
Podemos charlar un rato
o mirar la TV.
Se que a veces pasan
buenas películas.
O cantar canciones nuevas
en cassette.
Darnos besos en las mejillas.
Ayer contabas mil estampillas
y nos besábamos en la sombrilla
o tomar agua de la canilla.
Podemos charlar un rato

Darnos besos en las mejillas.

y nos peleábamos por la sombrilla
o tomar agua de la canilla.

Love & Disease
03:24
|
|||
|
Love and disease,
one way to take off.
Once again:
one way to take off.
A rose and a kiss,
one way ticket home.
Once again:
one way ticket home.
Every road is a goodbye.
Everybody walks in a straight line.
Everybody left the party,
I just want to party with you.
Everybody left the party,
but there was no party without you.

Re-emerging Song
03:26
|
|||
|
Do the cool thing
staying ok.
Listen to your heart,
he's singing so well.
And the note he's singing
goes right to your mind.
And the note he's singing
goes right to your soul.
And the note he's singing
goes right to the heart of your heart.
Floating by the space electricity.
Flowing through your feelings and your dreams.
Singing the most beautiful re-emerging song.
Hearing the claps of the lighting bugs.

Ravens
02:32
|
|||
|
Blood is floating on his bed.
Fog is crawling down his flesh.
Ravens,
Ravens,
Ravens fly.
Screeching,
Screeching,
Screeching high.
She is waiting for him now.
She is baking apple pie.
She's in labor, and her eyes cry.
The spell works in the end.
