desolation holds its head above the ice it said listen to your heart, not to your mind like a soldier in a grave, i’m saved! and id be damned to be a girl cause i’m the centre of the world we used to drive the feral coupe through avenues where the crowded people sang all out of tune well do they take me as I am? cause id be damned to be a girl cause i’m the centre of the world and all the tremors in my heart will only break me from the start 
when i feel your burnished hands, pressed into mine i want to melt and sink back into the night said i’d damned to be a girl cause i’m the centre of the world and all the temper in my heart will only break you from the start and i fear your burnished hands will take me alive i want to melt and sink back into the night 
oh, when i feel your burnished hands, press into mine i want to melt and sink back into the night i fear the burning man, come eat me alive i want to melt and sink back into the night

say something why don’t you spell your name out these taxes make me backflip, this little one’s mine even when your little heart’s a mess and 
all us people will forget you made the same slips as I when the gold settles at the bottom of the pan when the red wool stockings make you happy as a clam you would turn to me and say all you see is what I am all you see is what I am in the water, we turn to sons and daughters, waiting patiently for breath, just a spark in my eye (waiting patiently to begin; just a spark in ones eye), it takes the memory of something old and sacred just to rouse us from our beds to find the meaning of life when the sand settles in the bottom of your hands when the kite catches on a gust of wind you would turn to me and say i am waiting to begin i am waiting to begin (bridge) i went to look across this pond to find my one and only at the dock i went back home to count my stars heard/find you laughing just outside my door play my fortune and keep all of the earnings it feels so small that It could creep up on anyone, at anytime but my hearts electric and made of the strongest diamond and when i’m old enough to fight I am old enough to die when the lark turns his head and whistles out his song when the day comes to an end and i’m putting you to bed you will turn to me and say i will see you once again, i will see you once again

creeps out of the corner, it goes looking for the door lets mother take his top off and he’s begging her for more peace on earth in quieter houses, even as they sleep, bides his time in early morning, perfect start to make ends meat and you’d not let me forget, though I try so pathetic all the time don’t speak the backwards of my name to find its meaning still the same hungry as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you close your eyes tastes of condor cold like ice cream crashing sine waves in your mind when all the cables and the television lights go out and your halfway through a maddening let them know what you’re on about and you’d not let me forget, i tried so pathetic all the time don’t speak the backwards of my name to find its meaning still the same im so pathetic all the time and theirs nothing on my mind for a tragic heart that aches will take or leave it all the same aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa …. and you’d not let me forget, i tried so pathetic all the time don’t speak the backwards of my name to find its meaning still the same

read all the tea leaves from this chalice of mine in the back of miley’s car, the natives will die independent of i, turned our backs to their hearts look at the old man holding out for a dime watch as hes waiting for the passage of time at the end of our life, theres a fog and a cry calls in terror, so settle for a while (Psalm and sable quiet houses laughing divine) its all your fault, how we wasted our time (I went walking cold innate under the pale starry light) and eat all our candy, and say mazeltov at the end of our night we love the famous like the gods of our time choirs are singing, such a long way outside how we patchworked our lives when we sheathed all our knifes in go the ministers that feed on the kids the titties on the telley make us all modern men i was only held back, by the wave and the flash of a gun, but my windows are lit (Psalm and sable quiet houses laughing divine) old man, I let out an hour or more (Buddhist thieves and falling leaves go silently into the night) and when you came home, i heard a knock on the back of my door and on, and on, we’ll idle,
brown eyed girl with long dark hair slowly return to the womb that you sprang from quiet as a lamb would go .............. feast on the neighbours, for they warble their tunes hear all the evil laughing sick with the flu i was tricked by the moon, and a far away tune, in our hearts we know that the end of one life, the curtain tails that close will lead to another in time from this gutter of mine, i see stars in a line on the table of one thats so divine but you don’t know, they love us every time that were home, to feed us their supper and think of the times back before we were young old man, I let out for an hour or more and when you came home, i heard a knock on the back of my door

all day long, I stick to the movements the quiet and coolness of the air that fills the room i do try to sing very often, but I take it for granted, and i falter at the end your right hand, is sick of trapezing / false promise and all the words squeezing from the tongue of a loving man something new, comes out of the old now covered in a cold brow like a morning sick with dew aaaaoooooo aaaaoooooo aaaaooooooooooooooooooooo aaaaoooooo aaaaoooooo aaaaooooooooooooooooooooo noon day spies, are peacefully dreaming, and all the while scheming, on how to get back to a noble man, who’s sick of his problems i talk about it often, no were not far from you (bridge) the ending is lost on me i’m holier than poppy seeds when the ending comes it swallows all of me im holier than all the milk of poppy seeds aaaaoooooo aaaaoooooo aaaaooooooooooooooooooooo aaaaoooooo aaaaoooooo aaaaooooooooooooooooooooo (ending) leave it to them to be one the to knock it down the blood of your feet leads a trail back into town something in the stable is stinking like a dog/hound but neither will leave when the other ones around but neither will leave when the other ones around but neither will leave when the other ones around but neither will leave when the other ones around

Time 03:38
and this farewell is old and tired as lonely hearts would know i know youve heard me well so look me in the eye and tell me what you’re thinking / where youre going child, we do it all the time, do it all the time cause it makes you smile and these are compliments i’ve heard before so stop all your rambling you stumble through the door you were acting like a dog with your teeth bared naked time, we do it all the time, we do it all the time just to feel alive a toast to my poison, your words, taste like wine form me through sex appeal they fought through the river when i wasn’t real and through this sex superior they formed a prince that begs on his knees and floor, open up the door, open up the door if it makes you poor all said, i must confess, i’m lost in a mess of wires and trappings i am not fond of these they poke through my sleeves cause it takes one to know one time, we do it all the time, we do it all the time just to feel alive words come from rattlesnakes worse, NPR faith in my sect, i am inane for all time! oh time, we do it all the time, we do it all the time just to feel alive time, we do it all the time, we do it all the time just to feel alive time, we do it all the time, we do it all the time just to feel alive time, we do it all the time, we do it all the time just to feel alive ooh, ahhhhhhh ooh, ahhhhhhh ooh, ahhhhhhh ooh, ahhhhhhh

Blue Lagoon 04:02
blue lagoon dance about the room
quietly whisper your old sisters tune to the man in the band who plays only for you old folks beware, we’ll learn your folksy dancing go put on the dress that your mother once did you pull from your pocket, an old silver ring I went into the hills wrapped in the coat of an evening cold and dark when you called out loud, and we made it all up, right there on the spot like a dumb man on fire, who doesn’t rise any more from the bell of a clock or, a knock at the door

when i get homesick, I watch the rain stick like beads of glass upon my window it escapes meaning, this curious feeling when you lean your head upon my chest is this all we have left to be i’m falling into 

peace-s of a puzzle like in the 90s when I still saw beyond my screen wed climb in the attic, ever dramatic, and make believe what we want to believe were writing something meaningful, were turning into them
 a night of riot, brings out your sunshine pull out your party tricks, you can read my mind and in the backseat, after leaving, you never spoke so soft and sweet
 our hearts want to find meaning so we do it all again in these thoughts i find my reason to escape from the hungry eyes, the players of the game in the need to be the furthest one away do you feel me? I’d live for an eternity, but still death wouldn’t notice me gave up the ghost, get born again; hurricane gold is all i have clone myself to oblivion, will crypt keeper notice me then? build my house out of my children, hurricane gold is all i have I live and breathe for just one thing, the rhythm of two hearts racing cause time is short and im the man, hurricane gold is all i have to fuck around is to find out, so lets go do the twist and shout and spend our lives living god’s plan, hurricane gold is all i have
 hurricane gold is all i have, hurricane gold is all i have, HURRICANE GOLD IS ALL I HAVE!

about

Hurricane Gold is a concept album that utilizes orchestra, slide guitar, and crooning vocal harmonies to weave the listener into a number of characters and roles. The lyrics were written from multiple perspectives, with the main narrative being the expectations and pressures of parenthood. It was written for my grandma, a high school teacher who raised four kids on her own in the seventies.
