The Coven by the Sea
03:13

|
I can see a circle of gowns
Causing ripples passed the edge of town.
It's coming from the wicked on down,
Bottom of the ocean all around.
I can see my reverend deeds
Writing up a storm by the open seas.
I just wanna watch in secrecy,
I don't seem to care what happens to me.
And you know the magic on the wind.
And you're sure it came from within.
Dream seeking.
They're witching when I'm near.
Fixing what I hear.
Cause it's a dream sequence.
They're witching when I'm near.
Fixing what I hear.
Behind the tree I'm pulled out endlessly.
From my knees (oh!) I fall into a deep sleep.
Oh, holy night, I fall into a deep sleep.
And you know the magic on the wind.
And you're sure it came from within.
Dream seeking.
They're witching when I'm near.
Fixing what I hear.
Cause it's a dream sequence.
They're witching when I'm near.
Fixing what I hear.

They Call Me Santa Claus

They call me Santa Claus.
They call me Lemon Toad.
They call me Cyber Dog.
They call me Angel Hold.
They summon me.
Just feels like smoking eggnog stank.
Holiday season coming right at your bank.
Yo messengers, they used to be sipping on a pay leave.
Now they coming at you like they higher than Greensleeves.
Oh! Come on, you're gonna feel hot,
Bottom of your heart getting winded on a price drop.
On a price drop, heard me right,
The bottom of your heart on a holy night.
Didn't know this season was all about Ferraris.
Didn't know you're leaving me in a hole.
Didn't know the AC was on 'til you told me.
Didn't know it needed to go.
They call me Coal Machine.
They call me Tater Twist.
They call me Hyper Dream.
They call me Ocean Fist.
They summon me.
Just when I thought I was crazy,
No man coming down my chimney.
Milk and cookies on a whimsy.
I'm a fly. (Damn straight!)
I can be called almost anything.
Doesn't lay waste to the game.
Why do we call you names?
I can be called almost anything.
Doesn't lay waste to the game.
I can be called almost anything.
They call me anything.
They call me everything.
When there is joy to have,
They call me by my name.
They summon me. (x4)

Candy Cane

It's Present Day and maybe it's just me,
But is everybody sipping peppermint whiskey?
I'm by the phone when it picks me up,
Shouting everybody's naughty, could you please hang up?
One lady, not shady.
She got a treat for me in her stocking.
It's for me? What's for me?
She got that candy cane in her stocking.
In her stocking. In her stocking.
(Laa, laa, laa, laa, laa, laa, laa, laa)
Spin me around and ask if I see straight,
Cause I will guarantee I can't, but know it's no mistake.
I woke with vertigo and don't feel well,
Cause all the world is on its phone and it's calling Hell.
She's maybe a crazy.
She got a treat for me in her stocking.
What? For me? It can't be.
She got that candy cane in her stocking.
I'm her stocking. In her stocking.
So, I don't know why I'm even here,
Maybe the thought of getting pizza from a snow reindeer.
I'm kinda cold when I'm all alone,
Singing song after song cause I won't go home.
I'm maybe a crazy.
She got a treat for me in her stocking.
Can't you see all I need?
She got that candy cane in her stocking.
In her stocking. In her stocking.
I'm by the phone when it picks me up.

My Favorite Voice
04:04
|

|
You are rain, warmer than the air around it,
I sang, and you were who came.
On another day I would follow other signs,
But that ain't today.
Find me out in the open
Just waiting, swearing and hoping
That I don't go one more day with you.
Tell me over and over, my favorite voice.
Tell me, out of a million I'm your favorite choice.
You are snow, boundless and able
To shut me right up, cause you know what's up.
On another day I would follow other signs,
But that ain't today.
Find me out in the open
Just waiting, swearing and hoping
That I don't go one more day with you.
Tell me over and over, my favorite voice.
Tell me, out of a million I'm your favorite choice.
I don't know if anything
Matters at all in the end,
But I know I need this right here, right now,
Makes sense to me somehow.
Tell me over and over, my favorite voice.
Tell me, out of a million I'm your favorite choice.
Tell me over and over, my favorite voice.
Tell me, out of a million I'm your favorite choice.
I'm your favorite choice.
Tell me, out of a million I'm your favorite choice.

Turkey
02:32

Talking to a turkey yesterday.
Found her in an oven not faraway.
Pour a little gravy on the side.
I don't wanna waste this poultry hide.
But she's getting' faster by the day.
Pickin' fights on everyone in her way.
I don't seem to eat like I used to now.
Wanna build a garden, please show me how.
I don't know how. (x3)
And I can never build these kinds of things,
Especially when the wildlife sure can binge.
Wanna learn the ropes from a weeding pro.
Gotta catch that turkey, she's all I know.
But she's getting' faster by the day.
Pickin' fights on everyone in her way.
I don't seem to eat like I used to now.
Wanna build a garden, please show me how.
I don't know how. (x3)

Antarctica
04:31

|
I feel the bitter cold of the night,
But all he feels is thermal insulation from the laboratory.
I try to find my way to him,
But he is lost inside these frozen archives of the land history.
Digging old samples from the earth,
Searching for someway that I can turn, someway to break the ice.
It shone itself as if to say,
“Hurry girl, it's waiting there for you.”
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred girls or more could ever do.
I bless the snow of Antarctica.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
The penguins cuddle in the dark,
Protecting esoteric youth amid a frozen fountain.
I know I need a stronger mind,
As sure as permafrost exists on Transantarctic Mountains.
I seek to find a change in life,
Frightened of this future that's to come.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred girls or more could ever do.
I bless the snow of Antarctica.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
“Hurry girl, it's waiting there for you.”
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred girls or more could ever do.
I bless the snow of Antarctica.
I bless the snow of Antarctica. (I bless the snow!)
I bless the snow of Antarctica. (Oh ho!)
I bless the snow of Antarctica. (Antarctica!)
I bless the snow of Antarctica. (Yeah, Antarctica!)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

Looking Forward to It
02:29
|

|
They say times like these are hard to understand.
Hands on a clock point out
How the days are memories of how a year used to be,
And anything else was but a lightbulb
Flickering out in the depths of sand,
Out in the blackness of space.
Looking forward to it now. (x4)
Give me all the days I never wanted back.
I'll turn them around cause I don't feel spite
Flowing through my body like it used to.
I never wake up wanting the same thing,
But pull me aside, telling me we're going back,
Out in the blackness of space.
Looking forward to it now. (x4)

Well, I found an angel.
Well, I found a demon.
I found a field,
And an end.
I found a reason
To ground.
(Ahh!)

Mistletoe Moon
04:29
|

|
I've seen gold just disappear.
I've seen love that perseveres.
I've seen an opportunity
As it ran between my feet.
I'm not here when I'm not here.
I can't play when I don't play.
I can't imagine where I'd be
If I tried it my way.
Mistletoe Moon, Mistletoe Sun,
Light a path where I may run
Over the hills that we call love.
Please find me above.
Play a song that you know,
And while you play, oh, I'll pretend
This moment will never end.
Sometimes I'm wide awake in my sleep
Waiting for someone to bring me to.
When I'm a ghost
Swimming out on the River Styx,
I can't imagine where I'd be
If I tried it your way.
Mistletoe Moon, Mistletoe Sun,
Light a path where I may run
Over the hills that we call love.
Please find me above.
Play a song that you know,
And while you play, oh, I'll pretend
This moment will never end.
Oh, this- this moment will never end.
You're made of dreams from faraway,
And I feel this, I feel this
In my bones and in my head.
Mistletoe Moon, Mistletoe Sun,
Light a path where I may run
Over the hills that we call love.
Please find me above.
Play a song that you know,
And while you play, oh, I'll pretend
This moment will never end.
Oh, this- this moment will never end. (x2)
