Harvest 02:53
Walking away in the simplest way and I'm already laughing In the springtime of love, springtime of love Talking away just the words that I say and I'm already growing In the harvest of time, harvest of time I don't talk and baby I don't sing but I'm in love And if it's all in the way that I shed my soul I'll tear it off And if we die tonight, well Bring those stupid love songs to me Breaking away while removing my shame and I'm already shedding all the Scales from my eyes, scales from my eyes Elegant twist from the sun to my lips and the harvester's calling me Back to his field, back to his field Boogie I don't talk and baby I don't sing but I'm in love And if it's all in the way that I shed my soul I'll tear it off And if we die tonight, well Bring those stupid love songs to me

Is it so bad you have to close your eyes to it? Truth be told the cosmos don't shine for you like they do for me I won't be your sun Summertime, I wanna hear you call Summertime, I wanna hear you call Into the night, you never find a home in the dusk of your life Yet I still find, God don't shine for you like He does for me I won't be your sun Summertime, I wanna hear you call Summertime, I wanna hear you call

Peggy Sue 02:25
Don't rain on my parade, Peggy Sue Don't rain on my parade, Peggy Sue Peggy says to get a life, think I'll end this strife Peggy says to get a job, don't think I'll let this drop Don't rain on my parade, Peggy Sue Don't rain on my parade, Peggy Sue Peggy says to get a life (get a life), think I'll end this strife Peggy says to get a job (get a job), don't think I'll let this drop

Honeycomb 04:27
Honey cast your comb into the ravine Benevolent tablets melt my sadness all away Hamlet days must end, Sally days begin Back when baths meant Marat I'm not thinking about that Rest your halo here, Put flowers in your hair More than the meadows could grow Taller than the mountain snow Sweet September sun, turn eternity Let down your hair, let me climb Through your garden window I give myself to you Blood tea in our veins, two connected brains Look up at me, let me see All the blossoms in your eyes If I could go back to when you were young I would tell you about the things that are gonna harm you If I could go back to when you were young I would save you from the things that are gonna hurt you If I could go back to when we were young I would marry that girl, yes, I'm in love with you I'm in love Love

The struggle begins when you wanna have peace They're taking your money, the talk from the east Who are they anyways? Who are they anyways? You're giving me looks while you break my jawbone Hey, we're your friends and what's yours is now ours Who are you anyways? We're taking everything I'm gonna let you go, gonna let you go I'll be at your door Trouble begins when you wanna have fun You take all my money, you take all my guns Who are you anyways? My greatest enemy Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men Cannot escape you, they can't make amends Who are you anyways? Some kinda charity case I'm gonna let you go, gonna let you go I'll be at your door Melodramatic Constant bad habit Barking through your veil at the full moon I'm gonna let you go, gonna let you go I'll be at your door
