I was a whistlin’ bird singin’ prayers to the sky Under the cover of an emboldened lover Mistress of anything I’d try Well, well I Heard the tune of some other heart Pluckin’ strings along his bow Down I dove into the darkness Everlovin’ steamy hot mess of A love we long to know Safe in the night I kept to my crib and I slept Waning the moon she peeled back Til there was nothin’ left Waist deep and oh so stuck Pulling away from the tar Why’d I surrender to your soliloquy, Why’d it have to go this far Taunted and frayed I backed away From every emancipatin’ choice Fearin’ I’d be sighted amidst love unrequited I hid behind the noise But in the edge of the night It comes clear The only thing holdin’ me backwards Is fear Emerging from the ashes I will rise again Stumblin’ through that awful mess that I got myself in Though it’s hard to accept change When what you knew is gone Just listen to that voice inside your head singin’ You’re not alone Oh no, you’re not alone… You’re not alone now, ooo... You’re not alone (3x)

Backbones 02:48
Hail glory to the mountains, the backbone of our world They’re stony spines tickling the sky keeping up the rhythm and the rhyme Of a mental drift, it’s a cosmic shift so hum along A bewitching beat, just shuffle your feet and sing along to this siren song Wooooaaaah, Woaaaaahh, Woaaaah, La da da da da da da da da da Howlin' winds they whip up the very marrow of your bones They’ll fill your lungs with the beat of drums, the past it calls for a brand new start Memory held within the cracks of her skin, so be advised That you’ve yet to perceive what’s up her sleeve, the reality is ocean sized Wooooaaaah, Woaaaaahh, Woaaaah, La da da da da da da da da da Oh brother wolf I pray you forgive the folly of my kin The valleys echo silence to mock the indifference of our sin Feather fur and claw follow different laws ancient as light Try to truly reach the truth that they teach before its all becomes just shrinking ice Wooooaaaah, Woaaaaahh, Woaaaah, Oo0o0o0o0o00oo0o0o0o0o0o! Won’t you come, won't you come and pray with me? My sister, Coyote Oh wont you come, wont you come and pray with me? My sister cay-oh-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-yo-te? Oh wont you come, wont you come and pray with me? My sister, Down by the mountains feet?

Holy Roller 02:22
“Holy roller, wild within!” I stumble, singing Reverent of the child within, that’s wisdom screaming Out our lungs, over our heads All a quiver The guide inside tapped into light is a selfless giver A oo-oo selfless giver, mhmm, mmhmmmm Psychotopographic maps outline our bodies Each stretch and yawn sends me beyond til I can barely Remain contained just raising cane Only constant thing is change And you and I are one in the same your Breath is my breath, your oo-oo breath is my breath, mhhm Don’t be shy to move on in to the dark temptress Move in slow, open our mouths and taste the wetness Of her breath and of her skin Beads of dew dissolve our sin Holy roller wild within I stumble singing, I oo-oo stumble singing, mhhmm I crush the leaves and send perfume to those who’ve taught me My shrine the west my prayer the moon You are my family Points divine set apart in time to read the universal sign That we are light, now let it shine now.. Let it shine now, oo-oo let it shine now...

Jane 04:23
Well I pushed in my seed, and she swallowed it whole Then I drowned in the warmth of that strong yellow glow, she Took me and loved me and fed me good corn Til ‘I’ was destroyed and my body was worn Woah, ooo And she called me And she called me Jane Oh yeah hey Just call me Just call me Jane I kiss leaves And I make love to mountain sides The sun it graces my feet and then it Creep creep creeps right up my thighs Licking my belly ‘Til all I am is a-giggles and sighs Just call me Jane I just don’t think your gonna forget my name Just call me Jane Oh yeah, mmhmm-mmm I am the whimsy that trickles through your lips Smokin’ blue clouds over sunsets like a-woah I am the frenzy that inhabits your hips ;) From whorehouse to supernova Ooo candy, sugar so sweet I am the rhythm that possesses your feet And the line That gets you on the floor Just call me Jane Oh yeaahh, ho-oh I just don’t think your gonna forget my na-ay-yay-am Wont you call my, oh baby call my I am the stranger that lies in your bed The melody you cant get out of your head I am the right and the oh so wrong In fact, I am the words right inside this song So just Call me by my name It’s Jane, yeeeeahhhhh No I just don’t think your gonna be the same So baby come on, won’t you say my I am the dark And I am the light But most of all, I am the dream That kisses you goodnight

I would like to Congratulate you On the way you make me feel Warm and quiver lovely A blessed shimmer of the Deep and innocent Mhmm.. I saw you step out Of all your clothes Sweat shining on your skin Tasted the salt and sinew Felt all the pleasure in you Oh, Sweetness lets jump in… That’s my shrine My golden light The worship that I crave (2x) Mhmmm... I know you want it Feel free to say it Who wouldn’t want some more?
