Patience Belongings

(Verse 1)

Alone at the Jester I waited for you

Hiding with the other fools on the wall of the dining room

Couldn’t believe my eyes when you entered my view

In my heart, bones, and mind I knew these moments were few

(Chorus)

That’s the moment, that’s the moment, we became two

That’s the moment, that’s the moment, we became two

Two fools

Two fools

(Verse 2)

One is fun, for a minute or two

Time piles up, singles collide, never seeing it through

Always waiting for that moment, when one becomes two

(Chorus)

This is that moment, this is that moment, one of those few

This is that moment, this is that moment, one of those few

(Bridge)

Shooting stars and locals bars

Parking lots and forget-me-nots

Liquid kisses, taste delicious

Two tongues twisting, coexisting

(Verse 3)

It’s been years now I wipe my brow thinking of all we’ve been through

You’re my one, I’m your one, tethered together just two fools

Two fools

Two fools

(Slow Version)

(Fast Version)

(1st verse)

Vulcanized rubber sliding away

Passed and caught on a power play

The thud of the pads, the sound of the rebound, the net is so quiet

(2nd verse)

The other team frowns, back at the center

The judge just drops the puck

Down two goals and only two minutes to go…fuck*  (*”shucks” for clean version)

(3rd verse)

It’s getting tense and emotions are in the way

Just skate past them, break away

One on one, high or low, shot leaves the blade

Goal! Goal! Goal!

One minute thirty left a fight to the end

(4th verse)

That other guy just slashed you

The ref just turned his head

The mind turns to blood and the red is fed

In the penalty box now i’d rather be dead

(5th verse)

Watching in horror as my team holds on for our life

The other team just tripped us

Equal strength with under a minute left to survive

(6th verse)

Out of the clink and on to the rink

One timer passed the goalie’s ear

It’s all tied up now, but we still can’t cheer

(7th verse)

Back to the center 10 seconds to go

Pass pass pass, deke deke deke

Shot squeaks pass the goalie’s pads

Motherfucker* (*”Game over” for clean version)

There goes our winning streak

feathers linger float in air

feathered fingers

feathered hands

feathered feet

feathered lands

feathered follicles

feathered strands

feathered hair

feathered hair

feathers weather heather’s heavy sweaters

feathers weather heather’s heavy sweaters

feathers linger float in air

 

(Chorus)

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, running fast made it past, relieved to be not dying

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, missed this crash, hooray for surviving

(Verse I)

Of birds and feathers and mice and coats

Found out how to float

A mind rearranged, tranced up, and engaged

A circular movement, atoms and the earth

The dance of the top that never stops

A peaceful blur, a very peaceful blur

A peaceful blur, a very peaceful blur

(Chorus)

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, running fast made it past, relieved to be not dying

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, missed this crash, hooray for surviving

(Verse II)

Love goes in

and Love goes out

Tipped over

Like a teapot

Here is the handle

Now is the spout

Eyes and ears

Sees and hears

Sight and sounds

Planes touching down

(Chorus)

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, running fast made it past, relieved to be not dying

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, missed this crash, hooray for surviving

(Bridge)

(Verse III)

Hands massaging your insides

Pull the darkness out

The soul as a beach blanket

The darkness the sand

All cleaned off

Waving in the wind

All cleaned off

Waving in the wind

(Chorus)

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, running fast made it past, relieved to be not dying

Standing on the beach, looming in the horizon, missed this crash, hooray for surviving
