Ivory Box 04:16
so you think your love is stuck in an ivory box and her cats are feral and her life is lost so you think it's true birds can eat out of their cage good old folks still sing the great songs of the good old age and the seals are squealing at the shoreline and the seaman hooks his catch the eels are squealing on the downside of the deep blue oceans chest speak for a while child, don't be a wild child regress soon all the animals will all be wild animals spaceman left and she thinks that she'll have to break the bars real soon and that all of us are doomed to see the fire, greed, burning ashes, the building crashes on the children he lives in isolation a-culture with no smile white walls, white voice, a white ghost does reside in his mind the fireworks launch, but they never explode he just got this strange, strange magnetic pull to implode into nothing and the seals are squealing at the shoreline and the fisherman kills the catch the eels are squealing on the inside of my secret lover's chest speak for a while child, don't be a wild child regress soon all the animals will all be wild animals spaceman left and she thinks that she'll have to break the bars real soon and that all of us are doomed to see the fire, greed, burning ashes, the building crashes on the children and the seals are squealing at the shoreline and the seaman hooks his catch the eels are squealing on the inside of my secret lover's chest speak for a while child, don't be a wild child regress soon all the animals will all be wild animals spaceman left that she'll have to break the bars real soon and that all of us are doomed to see the fire, greed, burning ashes, the building crashes on the children

Pixie Dust 03:46
and there was pixie dust lying all on the floor it's not what you really wanted it was something more so she would run to you and i would be profuse for all the songs you slew and there was something else melting all from her eyes it's not freedom that she wanted she wanted lies and on the better day she want to run away she want to fly away and there was something else melting all from her eyes it's not a little, little second it's a second life and on the better day she want to fly away she want to die today she thought she had jesus, she thought she had god but it was just the seasons, the season's song and on the better day, she want to run away she want to fly away and all the pixie dust is lying on the floor it's never what you knew it's always what you want never what you feel it's all inside of you and all the pixie dust is lying on the floor it's never what you knew never what you want only what you feel it's all inside of you i scream hail to the captain, hail to the chief well we got another fighter we got disbelief and then i say who's there and then i scream who is there i scream hail to the captain, hail to the winner well we got another lover you got to fight within them and then you say who's there and then you scream who is there and there was pixie dust lying all on the floor it's not what you really wanted it was something more so she would run to you and i would be profuse for all the songs you slew/well something else is new (live version)
