LYRICS
All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All we do is lie and wait
All we do is, all we do is lie and wait
All we do is feel the fade
All we do is, all we do is feel the fade

I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground

All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
All we do is play it safe
All we do, all we do

I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground

All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All I did was fail today
All I wanna be is whites in waves
All I did was fail today
All we do, all we do

He’s keeping busy, yeah, he’s bleeding stones
With his machinations and his palindromes
It was anything but hear the voice
Anything but hear the voice
It was anything but hear the voice that says that we’re all basically alone

Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions when he
Put his Bunsen burners all away
And turning to a playground in a Petri dish
Where single cells would swing their fists at anything that looks like easy prey

In this nature show that rages every day
It was then he heard his intuition say
We were all basically alone

And despite what all his studies had shown
That what’s mistaken for closeness is just a case of mitosis
And why do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
Tell me doctor, can you quantify?
He just wants to know the reason why
The reason why

Why do they congregate in groups of four,
Scatter like a billion spores and let the wind just carry them away?
How can kids be so mean?
Our famous doctor tried to glean as he went home at the end of the day

In this nature show that rages every day
It was then he heard his intuition say
We were all basically alone

Despite what all his studies had shown
That what’s mistaken for closeness is just a case of mitosis
Sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
And why do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
Tell me doctor, can you quantify
The reason why?

“moonflower”

What do you do when you’re all grown up?
The heart of a child, but you gotta be tough
Scared to death to be alone
Feeling around for a hand to hold

Why did I start to think
I can’t walk if I can’t see?
When did I forget to need You?
I will let myself be weak
A vulnerable dependency
Strong enough to let You lead me

Through the dark
I wanna be where You are
Even through the dark
I wanna be where You are

What do you do when the darkness falls
And nobody thought to leave the light on?
Well, I don’t really like this place
But I will trust You anyway
Take my hand and lead the way

Into the dark
I wanna be where You are
Even in the dark
I wanna be where You are

And they tell you to grow up
To stop being scared
But what do you do when
You still want your dad there?
I know that I’m older
But it’s still the same
The moment I need You
You’re coming my way

And they tell you to grow up
To stop being scared
But what do you do when
You still want your dad there?
I know that I’m older
But it’s still the same
The moment I need You
You’re running my way

In the dark
I wanna be where You are
Even in the dark
I wanna be where You are

I heard about a garden
Somewhere south of London
Where moonflowers are hanging overhead
And though they’re lovely in the light
The gardener said, “Come back tonight
The darkness makes the fragrance rise”

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You’re the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl’s
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yeah, now I’ve met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we’ll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day

But, now, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
