Smile like a ghost With your rectangle eyes in a photo booth Polaroid bridges, fake-bearded invasions Smile like a ghost Drove to Petrolia, via Sun Blvd. Smiled like a ghost as you rolled down the window Plans of the bayou, adventures in WinCo Then tears in my eyes said you’re moving to Chico Smile like a ghost With your rectangle eyes in a photo booth Polaroid bridges, fake-bearded invasions Smile like a ghost

Jim Corbett 02:08
The tiger with the wound that could not heal Killed three-hundred men Ate them, but got beaten one-handed By the guy who had steel on his side

(Haddaway Cover)
4.
Summer and our bodies Kissing games and wrestling Feather lamps and movies Perfectly undressing It beats me beyond compare How you are still there Calls and calls and messages Olive street light vestige Morning pills and breakfast It beats me beyond compare How you are still there
5.
Spaceship 03:12
I’ll build a spaceship out of tape and cardboard and string and hardwood Constructed legitimately, figured out with plans and blueprints Seal it up with trash bags and magazines Shoot myself into another galaxy And you’ll be with me I’m gonna fly away in my spaceship and take you with me Seeing stars and planets in the galaxies Just me and you, just you and me And when we find our special heaven Of blue terrain with sand and craters We’ll park our spaceship and we’ll build our home amongst the stars And live forever
6.
Satisfied sighs and siren calls I only have the best intentions First comes Summer, then comes Fall This is not real You are not real Impossible fragility is holding my hand Such a beautiful creature, holding my hand We kiss on the mouth, our eyes closed so tightly And I forget where I am, but I know for sure you’re with me Impossible fragility is holding my hand Such a beautiful creature, holding my hand
7.
Asterisms 02:49
I saw you in the stars And I try to apply my heart gently To the asterisms that you have lent me Even your hands draw back like burning matches Collapsing
8.
Wide-eyed whispers Why rise when falling is so comfortable? It’s a feeling that crawls through my skin like a parasite There are too many fisherman in the sea
9.
Sleeping sound, and the moon rose through the room on the ground Pillow mounds, with your hair down and the blankets abound Morning, and the chansons that the early birds sing Soaring, and they’re waiting for the light that you bring I will be silently I will be silent Sun rose high, and you named out all the clouds in the sky Sweetly sigh, with a tired eye and an air of goodbye Darkening, and the sun sank like a stone in the spring Quietly taking off your clothes like a rose flowering I will be silently I will be silent
