Yeah, there's a place down on 3rd street.
Under the gate, she keeps the key.
But she won't let you cry; she'd rather watch paint dry.
She's a love gone awry, with amber eyes.
They've got her cleaning
She's always down and kneeling
Got a black eye from this one time
But she says it's alright.
Cinderella
Yeah a sister of voodoo healing
Ruby slippers in the ceiling
And I love her, want to set her free.
But she don't know she deserves me.
Yeah I saw her standing in the rain
Ruby slippers melting down the drain
And she won't let me know, she loves me more and more.
No she won't let me know, she's loving me more and more.
They've got her cleaning
She's always down and kneeling
Got a black eye from this one time
But she says it's alright.
Cinderella
Yeah a sister of voodoo healing
Ruby slippers in the ceiling
And I love her, want to set her free.
But she don't know she deserves me.

Faulkner

Roses grow along the avenues
But they never felt like something I would use
This sleepy life that I have known
Feels like everything I do is outgrown
I took a walk up on the bridge.
I tip-toed on the ledge.
I felt myself a-drowning
Yeah I felt myself a-drowning.
This honeysuckle up in the air
Said that I wasn't scared
Because Faulkner saved my life tonight
I'd never felt your light so bring
Faulkner saved my life tonight and I knew I didn't want to die.
Crassly spent my life this way.
Wait for somebody to ask me to stay.
This fate elemental my life was flung.
Boston's cold water filled up my lungs.
I took a walk up on the bridge.
I tip-toed on the ledge.
I felt myself a-drowning
Yeah I felt myself a-drowning.
This honeysuckle up in the air
Said that I wasn't scared
Because Faulkner saved my life tonight
I'd never felt your light so bring
Faulkner saved my life tonight and I knew I didn't want to
I didn't want to die.
Oh lord.

This Bullet

Well I couldn't kill you with my kindness.
That's far too cruel a way to go.
And these steady hands don't feel my blindness.
They speak a language we all know.
But you did me wrong.
A swift blow to where your necklace meets your breast and then the lights go down.
You did me wrong, now you're gone.
Acrimony she's my new lady.
I make her tea before we ride the bus.
And when we get into the sack at night,
I levitate with lovely lust.
But you did me wrong.
A swift blow to where your necklace meets your breast and then the lights go down.
You did me wrong, now you're gone.
Well, I love it how the walls will bleed. The walls will bleed.
And I won't be sad to watch you leave, to watch you leave
And I can't believe this truth:
That I carried this bullet for you.

This scar upon my chest
Says it's best, that you know
I pray for your blood.
And I'd push your black heart out of your mouth
So we'd see:
Our veins both run blue.
I need another drink.
I'm dying too slowly.
Yeah, and it's not like I've never been alone. I've never been alone.
And we'd dance, cheek to cheek
Until our feet started to bleed.
Not bad, for rigor mortis.
And my hands would bloody the wine.
And at last you'd be all mine.
And I'd pray for forgiveness.
I need another drink.
I'm dying too slowly.
Yeah, and it's not like I've never been alone. I've never been alone.

Halligan New York, New York
I Collect Light Bulbs
LEDs
and flashlights.
I gather them and chain them together
across my ceiling
like tropical fruit. A tree of light.
Long ago I'd sit in darkness.
And with the push of a button,
Each lamp flickered on in
a righteous, white monsoon.
Now the light tree bleeds no more.
And I can’t regain that feeling
of monsoon.
... more

Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements.
