Bad Wolf

Who's gonna pick up the toys
And return them to the chest
When the day is done?
And who's gonna wash the dishes
And replace them in the cupboard
When the evening comes?
Who's gonna fold the laundry
And place it in the closet
When the evening calls?
And who's gonna gather the books
And arrange them on the shelf
When the night falls?
Bad Wolf
They tell me how the roads to heaven are paved
But I'm not looking to be saved
Just someone to share my grave
I know how the roads to heaven are paved
But I'm not looking to be saved
Just someone to share my grave

the Reluctant God

We took a trip across the divide
Through the treacherous lands of the other side
We hung your bloody shirt up on the line
But I didn't realize the blood was mine
We returned home and went inside
To prepare for the coming night
We scrubbed the castoff from the floors and made them shine
But I didn't realize the blood was mine
All of the guests stood in surprise
At the wonders laid before their eyes
They all applauded as you turned the blood back into wine
But I didn't realize the blood was mine

Feet on the Ground

We hide and avoid the hounds
They cried without making a sound
We snide and put them all down
They tried to bring us all 'round
We fly and think we’re safe and sound
With feet on the ground
We dive in the waters we drowned
They strive not to come unwound
We tithe to the king we crowned
They writhe in treasures they’ve found
We fly with feet on the ground
With feet on the ground

You're So Obtuse
01:56
|

Talking to you is like beating my head ‘gainst a wall
The things you say don’t make any sense at all
And you just sit there looking so confused
I try to explain but it ain’t no use
Baby, you’re so obtuse
Talking to you is like putting my head in a vice
Everything I tell you I have to say it twice
But I keep sticking my head in the noose
And you just sit there looking so confused
I try to explain but it ain’t no use
Baby, you’re so obtuse
Talking to you is like being hit by a truck
I don’t know why I keep pressing my luck
And start a conversation I can only lose
But I keep sticking my head in the noose
And you just sit there looking so confused
I try to explain but it ain’t no use
Baby, you’re so obtuse

a Big Sunshine
03:25
|

As I walk down the street the flowers grow
And the people put on their shades
Or retreat indoors instead
And wait until the afternoon heat fades
The lizards all crawl onto rocks and everyone turns their heads
While I move through the day like a great big sunshine
*
And where are the children?
They’ve all run off to play god
And they’ll all sleep soundly through the night knowing
I’ll be back again like a great big sunshine
*
As I walk down the street the flowers wilt
And the people don their swimwear
They lay about in the afternoon haze
And drink lemonade on their lawn-chairs
The lizards all climb under rocks and everyone adjusts their gaze
While I cross the horizon like a great big sunshine
