The Sprite of Ring has been buzzin' in your ear like a violin, I see "Get married," he said "Get married," he said The Sprite of Ring has been buzzin' in your ear like a violin, I see "Get married," he said "Get married," he said Why would you commit yourself to just one thing When the breadth of the universe is right in front of you? Why would you commit yourself to just one thing When the breadth of the universe is right in front of you Of you, of you, you-ooh, you Why would you commit yourself to just one thing When the breadth of the universe is right in front of You, you, you, you, you, you, you You You You You You You You You You You You You The Sprite of Ring has been buzzin' in your ear like a violin, I see "Get married," he said "Get married," he said "Get married," he said "Get married," he said "You're nothing!" he said "You're nothing!" he said "You're nothing!" he said "You're nothing!" he said "I'm married," you said "I'm married," you said "You're nothing," he said "I'm married," you sai-aid I'd rather be married to life than for it I'd rather be a life form than form i-it And this ain't just anti-natal yoga I just wanna do everything, I'll let you do everything I wanna do everything, I wanna do everything I wanna do everything, I wanna do everything I can Collage rock Collage rock It's collage rock Collage rock It's collage rock Collage rock Oh, collage rock Collage rock It's collage rock Collage rock It's collage rock Collage rock

Portrait 04:33
I want to destroy my body Sick of the restraint Sling-shot one roof to another Flood becomes my gait Can't speak but you know I'm in there Hear me through the whine Can't hear but you know I sense you And my door's ajar tonight And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you, see heaven See you aga-ain And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you, see heaven See you again Pick me up and crack me open What prize springs from chest? Kinetic wisps, sprawling entrails Just don't make a mess Gather up my scattered corpus Fashion robe from shell Carry on my reputation While my insides go to hell While my insides go to hell And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you, see heaven See you aga-ain And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you, see heaven See you again Yeah And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you (see you in heaven) See you aga-ain And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you (see you in heaven) See you again And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you (see you in heaven) See you aga-ain And I don't know what you'd find If I came around to see you (see you in heaven) See you again!

Where nature reigns, fed by the sea, and nourishing it in turn Salt marshes form the lifeblood of island ecology Marshland secrets Marshland secrets Marshland secrets Marshland secrets Peafowl eat fruits and grains but snakes especially The peacock is a symbol of immortality Feathered creation Feathered creation Feathered creation Feathered creation A straight white line across the sea and flapping red wind sock Formed the matted growth absorbs inrushing tides as high as nine feet, protect Small fish Small fish Small fish Small fish

Swallow 04:41
Insist on the rustless thermos, your maverick Free-living king, a menthol sting The difference is in the taste Taste Prophets tilt out, automatic purifier Tilt in for the beauty tools, no knobs show Angry conflict, kings and priests, admirals Color easily, end distortion, interference Swallow and worm your way into my raw psyche Swallow and worm your way in, in Swallow and crow at my lack of a big display Swallow and worm your way in, in, in Ahahaha, oohoohoo Welcome welcome, Matson's new South Sea cruise! Three more islands have been added Bora, Bora, the wonderful adventure of staying home Swallow and worm your way into my raw psyche Swallow and worm your way in, in Swallow and crow at my lack of a big display Swallow and worm your way in, in Welcome welcome, Matson's new South Sea cruise Three more islands have been added, have been added Bora, Bora, the wonderful adventure of staying home Go! Invade the promised land, softened with fresh air Kingly glory and ordeal The difference is in the taste Aaaaaaah, huh! No, I won't think of it No, I will not think of it I won't think of it No, I will not I won't think of it No, I will not think of it I won't think of it No I will not! I won't think of it No, I will not think of it I won't think of it No, I will not I won't think of it No, I will not think of it I won't think of it No, I will not I won't think of it No, I will not think of it I won't think of it No, I will not I won't think of it No, I will not think of it I won't think of it No, I will not I won't think of it

Under Claim 04:23
You and me, you and me, you and me, you and me Swimming in the hydroelectric project You and me, you and you and me, you and you and me Swimming in the hydroelectric project It never made much of a sound to see you Floating in an estuary It never made much of a sound to see you Shifting into spaces under claim Like the hydroelectric project If we could then we would have bought it Kept it all to ourselves for a while Then publicize the river in public style But as the proverb goes, You can never own a body of water alone Except your own I dare you to own the sea Cause me and my love will come knock out your knees I dare you to stake your claim Cause me and my love will be there all the same I dare you to own the sea Cause me and my love will come knock out your knees I dare you to stake your claim Cause me and my love will be there all the same, oh yeah You and me, you and me, you and you and you and me Shifting into spaces under claim Like the hydroelectric project It never made much of a sound to see you Shifting into spaces under claim Under claim by us I dare you to own the sea Cause me and my love will come knock out your knees I dare you to stake your claim Cause me and my love will be there all the same I dare you to own the sea Cause me and my love will come knock out your knees I dare you to stake your claim Cause me and my love will be there all the same I dare you to own the sea Cause me and my love will come knock out your knees I dare you to stake your claim Cause me and my love will be there all the same
