Baby Was A Monster Broken trees block off the sun Shades of gray and green Fall back on yourself And be nothing again Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah You can't catch a golden ring Though it always dangles You can't comb your hair today Because it only tangles You throw a fist of pennies They fall like copper stars The well is deep And falls apart You light a match Somewhere in your head Look to see the pennies Have turned into bread You never are your sister And they whisper she is better Her shovel is bigger And she eats all her dinner Baby was a monster You just cried and cried Everybody left you Howling in the wind Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah Monster

Cup of Nails Everything I try and fail Drinking from a Cup of nails First it picked me up Then it let me down Now I’m not anyone Now I’m not anyone I’m not anyone I’m not anyone You cry for me and I Cry for you We both stand here Two little fools How can it be as Lonely as this When once I felt it Like a kiss It is raining Keys from the sky I try to catch one As they fall by But they just wash down This dirty street I walk back to the house And fall asleep I dream of Kansas trains And whistles in the dark I dream my broken self Back at the start How can it be as Lonely as this When once I felt it Like a kiss Then I thought I Could not miss Now things have taken This awful twist Everything I try and fail Drinking from a Cup of nails First it picked me up Then it let me down Now I’m not anyone Now I’m not anyone I’m not anyone I’m not anyone I’m not anyone I’m not anyone

Little White Room Will you come In my little white room Where my head is filled With thoughts of gloom Where the goldfish swims In his little pool And the trim on the window Is painted blue This is the chair That I often sit in When I look out the window And I lose my mind This is the chair That I often sit in When I look out the window And I lose my mind This is the book That I often write in When I look out the window And I lose my mind AAAAhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa AAAAhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa In the morning I awake To a yellow sun And I wonder when This will all be done In the middle of the night When I'm all asleep I pray the Lord My soul to keep Will you walk down The street with me Use my eyes See what I see Th shades all close When we walk by And a big cloud covers The entire sky AAAAhhhhhhhaaaaaaa AAAAhhhhhhhaaaaaaa Will you come In my little white room Where my ddddddddttttttttt And my table is wood My pants are woolen And my shirt is cotton My lamp is metal And I am forgotten dadadadadada da da da dadadadadada da da da dadadadadada da da da dadadadadada da da da AAAAhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa

women sleep 04:35
Women Sleep There is a stone unturned You wear it in your shoe You walk the streets at night You walk until it hurts There is a cloud It lowers from the heights It rests just like a hat You wear it very well AAAhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa AAAhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa The eye in your mouth Sets a place at the table The silverware crashes The glass overflows The vase filled with flowers Climbs down from the window You know They belong In the ground AAAhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa AAAhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa Chains are snakes At your feet You step down On their teeth There is gold in the heart There is blood on your feet These wings have broken your shoulders Women sleep AAAhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa AAAhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa

about

Baby Was A Monster

Broken trees block off the sun
Shades of grey and green
Fall back on yourself
And be Nothing again

You can't catch a golden ring
Though it always dangles
You can't comb your hair today
Because it only tangles

You throw a fist a pennies
They fall like copper stars
The well is deep
And falls apart

You light a match
Somewhere in your head
Look to see the pennies
Have turned into bread

You never are your sister
And they whisper she is better
Her shovel is bigger
And she eats all her dinner

Baby was a monster
You just cried and cried
Everybody left you
Howling in the wind




Waiting For You To Come
Ken Chambers Lyrics, Vocals, Acoustic/Electric guitar Staci Stull Vocals, Drums, Effects

I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come
Love I was praying for a long time
Strained to carry to the end
I was waiting such a long time
Now I'm finding you again
I was here for you before
Now I'm finding you again
Straight into this heart of mine
God is looking through your eyes
I was waiting to be found
It's a mystery sometimes

I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come

Love I was praying for a long time
Strained to carry to the end
I've been waiting such a long time
Now I'm finding you again
Love is praying for a long time
Strained to carry to the end
I was waiting such a long time
Now I'm finding you again
I was here with you before
Now I'm needing you again
I was here for you before
Now I'm needing you again
Straight into this heart of mine
God is looking through your eyes
I was waiting to be found
It's a mystery sometimes
Straight into this heart of mine
God is looking through your eyes
I was waiting to be found
It's a mystery sometimes

I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come
I'm waiting for you to come

Cup of Nails
Music Lyrics Vocals Effects Staci Stull

Everything I try and fail
Drinking from a cup of nails
First it picked me up
Then it let me down now

I'm not anyone
I'm not anyone
I'm not anyone
I'm not anyone

You cried for me and I
Cried for you
We both stand here
Two little fools

How could it be as
Lonely as this when
Once I felt it
Like a kiss

It is raining
Keys from the sky
I try to catch one
As they fall by

But they just wash down
This dirty street
I walk back to the house
And fall asleep

I dream of Kansas trains
And whistles in the dark
I dream my broken self
Back at the start

How could it be as
Lonely as this when
Once I felt it
Like a kiss

Then I thought I
Could not miss
Now things have taken
This awful twist

Everything I try and fail
Drinking from a cup of nails
First it picked me up
Then it let me down now

I'm not anyone
I'm not anyone
I'm not anyone
I'm not anyone


She Goes Down
Lyrics and Music Staci Stull

You held her energy
In the palm of your hands
You've got those big fingers
Never made you feel
Like a big man

And she said let's not talk about it
Let's not say a thing
And please don't rock the boat dear
Cause you know what that means

La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la la la

You tried to give your arms to her
You were constantly holding them out
You tried to wrap them around her
But she always managed to climb out

Now who is the loser
Now who's safe at home
Now who wishes harder
That she'd hidden a gun
On the boat

La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la la la

At night she wakes up drowning
In an ocean full of doubt
A hundred hands are floating on the water
Not one will pull her out
She goes down

La la la la La la la la
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
La la la la La la la la
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
La la la la La la la la
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
La la la la La la la la
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
No

Little White Room
Lyrics Donald Saaf Music Staci Stull

Will you come
In my little white room
Where my head is filled
With thoughts of gloom

Where the goldfish swims
In his little pool
And the trim on the window
Is painted blue

The is the book
That I often write in
When I look out the window
And I loose my mind

This is the chair
That I often sit in
When I look out the window
And I lose my mind
