 The Vaulted Eel

(Seriously guys, your guess is as good as mine...)



 The Fox in the Snow

Girl in the snow, where will you go, to find someone that will do?
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
They listen to your crazy laugh before you hang a right and disappear from sight
What do they know anyway?
You'll read it in a book
What do they know anyway?
You'll read it in a book tonight

Boy on the bike, what are you like, as you cycle round the town?
You're going up, you're going down, you're going nowhere
It's not as if they're paying you
It's not as if it's fun
At least not anymore
When your legs are black and blue, it's time to take a break
When your legs are black and blue, it's time to take a holiday

Kid in the snow, way to go
It only happens once a year
It only happens once a lifetime
Make the most of it
Second just to being born
Second to dying too
What else could you do?

[From: My Fever Broke, 2002]



 Yellow Fever

It was a deadly yellow fever epidemic
At first only a few were sick and then it started raging bad
It was the worst this town has had

It was the Summer of 1853
Only my dear old dad and me escaped alive
Escaped unscathed

Summer 1853
Very high rate of mortality
Summer 1853
Very high rate of mortality
It was a deadly yellow fever epidemic.

 Crazy Swan

(Help?)

He was always misjudged
He was a weighthose man

He had (?)
He would (?) to European hand

(?)

She was a crazy swan
He was (?)
Oh he was lean
He was the most innocent thing she had ever seen
Oh and the gentle way he laid his hand on her neck
She was crazy, driving crazy
She was playing with a half-duck

It was difficult for this couple to hold hands
(?)

yeah! yeah!
She was a crazy swan

(?)
She was a crazy swan

Ahaah aah!

It don't matter what the people say (what they say what they say)
Their attention couldn't just get in the way

You could mix up these two if heaven came down
You should hear them in the backyard making joyful sound

(?)

Yeah yeah yeah!
She was a crazy swan

Ahaah aah!
Ahaah aah!
Ahaah aah!

She was a crazy swan

 Mr. Romberg

Oh, Mr. Romberg
I have taken fourteen of your classes
I'm the girl with crazy hair and glasses
Mr. Romberg, if you're listening
If you can hear me
Give me a sign that we could be together
Or-never mind

I carved your name into my hand
Romberg
You're the most attractive man
Romberg, Mr. Romberg
I'll climb to the top of the Chrysler building and find for you the things
You don't even know you're feeling

Mr. Romberg
Look into my eyes
I know you must feel the same way

R-O-M-B-E-R-G
R-O-M-B-E-R-G

You look very frightened, in a handsome way
I wanna say, I love you, Mr. Romberg.

 My Soul

My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
Something that's new
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
Wants something that's new.

 Coraline

(Help?)

Coraline
These are the most hideous things I've ever seen
But you came out (??) the button eyes
With a glowing stone and a cold black key
Leave that for me
In the mother's hand

Well this old man
He put his hat on when the last lone rat was gone
You were victorius against the (??)
You fought a horrifying (??) thing
Inside a theatre of dogs that couldn't sing

The dog puts the flashlight down on the floor
I say it's a high price that you have to pay
For going to the other side to explore the other side of the door
Coraline

We're all old souls
Ooh

We made this other world
It begs the question
Did you also make yourself something real or (??) by a girl named Coraline
Coraline
If you made this other world
It begs the question
Did you also make yourself something real or (??) by this girl named Coraline
Coraline

Coraline, Coraline
Coraline, Coraline
Coraline, Coraline

 A Skeleton Bang

What did you see today?
I saw a skeleton banging his head on a tombstone in the cemetary
The sun was out
It was weird, I gotta say

What did you do today?
I asked a skeleton, I said "Hey why are you banging your head in that way,
on a tombstone in the cemetary on such a lovely day?"

He said he climbed out when the sun came up at dawn
He just wanted to see what the heck was goin' on
In the sunshine
In the graveyard, on down the hillside
All over the planet
In the sunshine
In the graveyard, on down the hillside
All over the planet

Who did you meet today?
I met a very special skeleton
He had a lot of curiousity about the living world
But that's all that I will say today.
