I Wanna Hold You
04:31
|
|

I wanna hold you like the mountaintop is held by the horizon
I wanna hold you like the light that brings the horizon
back into my eyes
I wanna hold you like the sweetest note just before it ends
I wanna hold you like my mother's hand
when she's too upset to cry
I wanna hold you like my father's hand
when I thought that he was gonna die
I wanna hold you like the sweet summer's breeze
it passes through me
please pass through me
I wanna hold you like G-d held my heart when I was a child
I wanna hold you like running naked through the church
that I built outside
I wanna hold you like the breath that passes
through my lungs
it passes through my heart

when I worked at Greenpeace I was savin' whales
by gettin' debit cards, collecting debit cards
and people would ask me
"What did whales ever do for me?"
and I would tell them
that Greenpeace told me
that there are only 400 blue whales left
on the planet, in the ocean
which at this point is just acid
and a single blue whale will eat about four tons
of krill in one day, four tons!
and krill eat
algae
which produces oxygen that we breathe
it's not just trees
in fact, it's mostly phytoplankton
so
the algae is eaten by krill
which is eaten by blue wales
so if we kill all the whales...
I guess we're gonna suffocate
we're all just gonna suffocate
so I quit that job cause it was too heavy
and I quit that job and I got a new job
now I'm just serving tacos in a restaurant
at the end of the universe
ha ha ha ha
qua qua qua qua
if I was an orangutan in Indonesia, in Indonesia
I'd be getting burned alive in my rainforest home
burned alive, that 's right
to make room for
new trees
to make pulp for
paper
to wrap hamburgers in fine fast food establishments
all over the world
and the cows that they kill to make hamburgers
and the cows that they kill, and the cows that they kill
are grazed on destroyed rain forests
on the other side of the world
so I guess we'll all just suffocate
we're all just gonna suffocate
so I quit that job cause it was too heavy
and I quit that job and I got a new job
now I'm just serving tacos in a restaurant
at the end of the universe
ha ha ha ha
qua qua qua qua
and the only time people would talk to me
is when I said
"Hey you wanna save some butterflies?"
everybody loves the butterflies
so I quit that job cause it was too heavy
and I quit that job and I got a new job
but you can't run away from knowing
that the oceans are poisoned
and the oceans are acid
and you can't run away from knowing
that 80% of the world's old growth forests are already gone
so I guess we'll suffocate
we're all just gonna suffocate
ha ha ha ha
qua qua qua qua

My Mixtape
03:02
|
|

remember the time when you drove all night
and I said "you stink you should probably take a shower"
remember the time when you drove all night
just like Elvis Costello on...
my mixtape it was
the only tape it was
the only music I had for months
when I was in-between homes and
in-between jobs and
in-between lives
you bookended it between your keds
and
the cement that my father laid down
but those broken shards won't heal
the dark crystal of my heart
no no no
remember the time when we cried all night
and broke down and broke up again
remember the time when we both got sober
and then un-sober
and blamed each other
I do well
my mixtape it was
the only tape it was
the only music I had for months
when I was in-between homes and
in-between jobs and
in-between lives
you bookended it between your keds
and
the cement that my father laid down
but the joke's on you girl
I got the whole thing memorized
I am a giraffe
my head is in the air but
my feet are on, my feet are on, my feet are
on the ground
you are a lion with all that pride
the way you tried to
tear me to, rip me to
oh
I am a giraffe
my head is in the air but
my feet are on, my feet are on, my feet are
on the ground
you are a lion with all that pride
the way you tried to rip me to shreds
my mixtape it was
the only tape
it was
the only music I had for like six months
when I was broke
when I was unemployed
sleeping on couches and
the hungriest I have been in my life
you took it outside
you put it on the ground
and you smashed it on the cement that my father laid down
and you picked up the pieces and
you cupped them in your hands and you said
"this is what a broken heart feels like"
as if I didn't already know.

For You
04:57

|

hey
don'tcha know
that I had fun at your show
and I
really like your art and I'm glad you like mine
so I made this art for you, don't you know
that I think that you're just grand and
if you
tried to hold my hand
I would let you
and I would hold it back
but I won't hold you back
and I would hold it back
but I won't hold you back
if you held me, I would hold you back
if you held me, I would hold you back
but I won't hold you back
don't you know
that I think you're so cute
and you're a
feminist to boot and
I like that you
eat mostly vegetables and fruit
don't you know
that I think that you're just swell and when I
am with you the bell in me goes
ding, dong, ding, ding
suffering comes from desire
but I think I think this time it might be
worth my, worth my while
if you held me, I would hold you back
if you held me, I would hold you back
but I won't hold you back
and I really like your art
and I'm glad you like mine
so I made this art for you
