Have I been made for this,
to lie under blankets and keep myself warm?
How trivial the things we want so passionately are.
Life, if well lived, is long enough.
He who is brave is free.
All that is truly ours, is time.

Twilight turns the key in the ignition of the city
and the carousel commences to spin
I know you're out there somewhere getting drunk, feeling happy
Those horses never danced for me
Rabbit holes where do you go
Do we need to know
//
Space, dear god please give me space
From the morning time, to the evening light
I wish you would sign your name
Rabbit holes where do you go
Do we need to know
//
Time, that healer most divine
It never scratched the skin
Of this mess I'm in
I wish you would sign, I wish you would sign
Stop the darkness calling round

You are the queen of trees
Burned by men with no qualities
Cut off the top to the furthest root
Move the blossom, shake the fruit
Turf to course, blown off course, infested with the heath
Seems unkind, your state of mind, new cut of teeth
Oh this is for the forest
The arboretum
With all the shades of good
You are the queen of trees
Long live the queen of trees

You kept a pretty ship
Though the waves were cruel
Now your sails are ripped
The wheel is lost
And all the stars confused
You made a happy home
For my ghosts and me
Now watch the ashes blow
Across the cemetery
I'm sorry - isn't that enough?

Hey buddy guy
Where did you get those eyes
Bloodshot and traumatised
Shit that's a bad disguise
Hey charlie clown
Chasing the world around
Why can't you hear that sound?
Why can't you just sit down and breathe?
Hey Jackie O
Mapping the love below
What did you need to know?
What have you dragged back home?
Hey busy bee
Crackling with energy
The world is your mystery
So why don't you take a break and see?
Hey crystal avatars
Mining those distant stars
But you don't get quite that far
Stopped at the corner bar
Hey buddy guy
Where did you get those eyes
Open to paradise
Well that sounds awfully nice let's go
when the world's broke down, at the end of its tether
it's daddies sauce that keeps me together
when all the presidents birds keep preening their feathers
it's daddies sauce that keeps me together
when the blood diamond dogs just sniff their own nethers
it's daddies sauce that keeps me together
when greta reports we're in for bad weather
it's daddies sauce that keeps me together
and when the beast in me just wants to roll in the heather
it's daddies sauce that keeps me together
she's screaming "out damned spot" at the imperial leather
it's daddies sauce that keeps me together
cant stay on course, can't use the force
can't stay on target or go home to ma and
get a brand new face
from the boys at welsh TV
pleasure, leisure, measure for measure
the fella vandellas with 10 cans of stella
and while the seizure receives ya, trying so hard to please ya
it's daddies sauce that keeps me believing
it's the thigh-slapping leather
it's the thigh-slapping leather
it's the thigh-slapping leather
it's the thigh-slapping leather
it's the thigh-slapping leather
it's the thigh-slapping leather (daddies sauce)
it's the thigh-slapping leather (daddies sauce)
forever and ever
