Sophie,
Don't it go, "you can't reap what you don't sow"?
You're tired of seein' white
But snow is fallin' here tonight
In the winter sun
You said the trees had died
And that you found
A flightless bird inside
That weeds and worms
Could not satisfy her
Your broken heart
Has no room for her to hide
Sophie,
Don't it go, "you can't reap what you don't sow"?
You're tired of seein' white
But snow is fallin' here tonight
And I know
The cold will go
But for now
Bring on a little more snow
If time slipped over
The ice upon the trees and snow
I'd speak with you
I'd speak with you another night
Sophie,
Don't it go, "you can't reap what you don't sow"?
You're tired of seein' white
But snow is fallin' here tonight
In the winter sun
I searched for seeds for you to eat
But from my hand
Your bird feasted and you cried
Now under the desert moon
I return to where you leave
The song I sing
Keeps your spectre in my sight
I'm so sorry I wish I didn't fight

Little Sibling

I never thought that I'd be someone you looked up to
I'm not sure that I'll be anything like you
When I think of you it's overwhelming too
Will you understand me when I come to you?
Oh little sibling, is it in you too?
I guess I don't really know that much of you
When I think of seeing you
I feel blue sometimes, I can't believe it's true
I feel blue sometimes, I can't believe it's true
I can't promise you the world won't swallow you whole
I can't promise you the world won't swallow you whole
I can't promise you the world won't swallow you whole
Maybe someday...
You're a woman now, it's true, it's true
Or at least not a man, and I know that's hard to do
But I'd like to be a sibling loved by you
I'd never leave you in the cold because it's new
Remember Christmas lights all over the zoo?
Remember "I am rubber and you're made of glue"?
Remember pressing pennies under the train tracks too?
"Anything you say bounces off of me to you!"
These memories are still for me and you
These memories are still for me and you
I can't promise you the world won't swallow you whole
I can't promise you the world won't swallow you whole
I can't promise you the world won't swallow you whole
Maybe someday...
I'm so proud of you, of you
I'm so proud of you, of you
I'm so proud of you, of you
And I hope you find that you can take pride in me too

Go Fuck Yourself

Runnin' up and hit the cop who's jumpin'
One of my friends, could feel my heartbeat bumpin'
Yellin' "Go fuck yourself!" when I hit the ground
6am out of the Justice Center
Offered a smoke by the legal defender
Felt free now for the first time in this town
I will defend myself if I have to
I,
I don't need to be the one to talk things out
I will defend myself if I have to
I,
I don't need to be the one to talk things out
Put on a dress and get down to disco
Liquid eyeliner a la San Francisco
Never learned to love myself, but I'm gettin' that now
I love my makeup when my eyes start weepin'
Feel no shame, I love the fuckin' weekend
Forget to take it off before I pass out
Become a woman because I have to
I,
I don't need to find a way to push that down
Become a woman because I have to
I,
I don't need to find a way to push that down
Hate me, hate me 'cause I wanna go shoppin'
You hate when I bottom and you hate when I'm topping
Honestly the sex doesn't matter to me most right now
I'm a lesbian and I feel so feminine
When I'm 'round women I forget about men again
Couldn't care less what you see me as right now
The world goes on without you
I,
I'm allowed to cut you out
The world goes on without you
I,
I'm allowed to cut you out
Follow my eyes and you can see them gleamin'
Put a little fit on and stop all your dreamin'
Take a deep breath when you're so strung out
Freak flags flyin' all around this country
Motorcycle mama you can drop your sundries
Ride to the river, lay down, we can find some rest
I love my changing body
I,
I hope that you can feel it too
I love my changing body
I,
I hope that you can feel it too
We will defend ourselves if we have to
Oh,
We don't need to be the ones to talk things out
We will defend ourselves if we have to
Oh,
We don't need to be the ones to talk things out

Red, Blue & Yellow

So suddenly we simply live a life of ease
No nostalgie, so fun and free, not bittersweet
We poured concrete between the cracks of memory
Buried it 'neath the gentle ring of tambourines
So fly when the wind is nigh
The climates right and we feel so fine
Fire, fill the dirigible balloon
We're traveling soon
Red, blue & yellow
Where the highways used to be
Red, blue & yellow
In the breeze, in the breeze
They blow bassoon a drunken sunny afternoon
They watch cartoons made by audience and loons
They melt harpoons and build a tower to the moon
They share their spoons and in the night they proudly croon
So fly when the wind is nigh
The climates right and we feel so fine
Fire, fill the dirigible balloon
We're traveling soon
Red, blue & yellow
Where the highways used to be
Red, blue & yellow
In the breeze, in the breeze
But still the night wind can fall
Beware it's cold lonesome call
You came to Earth, eschewed your usual wide berth
Discovered mirth despite your worries of our worth
A pure rebirth: post-economic, non perverse
A storied verse to every star system dispersed
So fly when the wind is nigh
The climates right and we feel so fine
Fire, fill the dirigible balloon
We're traveling soon
Red, blue & yellow
Where the highways used to be
Red, blue & yellow
In the breeze, in the breeze
Red, blue & yellow!
Where the highways used to be!
Red, blue & yellow!
In the breeze, in the breeze!
