It was just before the moon hung
Her weary heavy head in
The gallows and the graves of
The milky milky cradle
His tears have turned to poppies
A shimmer in the midnight
A flower in the twilight
A flower in the twilight
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow
They took him to the gallows
He fought them all the way though
And when they asked us how we knew his name
We died just before him
Our eyes are in the flowers
Our hands are in the branches
Our voices in the breezes
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
We're waiting by the willow
Our milky milky cradle
Our lockets long have rusted
His picture worn and weathered
Our hair is in the garden
Our voices in our toeses
Our heart are in the blossoms
Our eyes are in the branches
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
Fairy Paradise lyrics - Cocorosie
He draws near the periphery
In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too schocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
Of the dying planet with fallen foes
In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too schocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
Of the dying planet with fallen foes
Here I Come lyrics - Cocorosie
The world rose in the night
And prayed
People kissed, kissed and hugged one last time
Saying what have we done for two thousand years
The end it has begun
Should I let my mind run
For a scrap of kettle wood
Blind, woolen cat, bad bat breath beside me
Fuzzy face of pear tree
Ghoulish and cartoony
Surprise me like a monster,
My brother liked to scare me
A rape in the meadow
A fornicating fellow
A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep
All tangled up like winter
Bramble branch of brown tree
Cut the very life of
Her blood bank that billows
Up from below her
Skirt and sunlit blouses
Kangaroo mommy
Rapunzel and a tomboy
Fatherless a heart broke
A hankering, a steak knife
A wallowing a child,
A banquet a hollycaust
A pussy wussy willow,
Marshmallow, a mantra,
A temper tantric tantrum
A full steam ahead and
Watch out here I come
And prayed
People kissed, kissed and hugged one last time
Saying what have we done for two thousand years
The end it has begun
Should I let my mind run
For a scrap of kettle wood
Blind, woolen cat, bad bat breath beside me
Fuzzy face of pear tree
Ghoulish and cartoony
Surprise me like a monster,
My brother liked to scare me
A rape in the meadow
A fornicating fellow
A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep
All tangled up like winter
Bramble branch of brown tree
Cut the very life of
Her blood bank that billows
Up from below her
Skirt and sunlit blouses
Kangaroo mommy
Rapunzel and a tomboy
Fatherless a heart broke
A hankering, a steak knife
A wallowing a child,
A banquet a hollycaust
A pussy wussy willow,
Marshmallow, a mantra,
A temper tantric tantrum
A full steam ahead and
Watch out here I come
Happy Eyes lyrics - Cocorosie
They call me Wee Willie Winkie
I'm tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don't snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don't ask, don't tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
I'm tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don't snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don't ask, don't tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
Coconuts lyrics - Cocorosie
Climbing for coconuts
Musical shells
We never shot the smoke signal
We watched Amelia Earhart fly on by
And refused the talking dolphins that offered us a ride
We just beat each other up
And made constant love
You couldn't tell the difference
Best friends or remembrance
We ambushed the doves
And made jewelry out of pearls
I was homecoming queen
Never did get over that, being a whore
Musical shells
We never shot the smoke signal
We watched Amelia Earhart fly on by
And refused the talking dolphins that offered us a ride
We just beat each other up
And made constant love
You couldn't tell the difference
Best friends or remembrance
We ambushed the doves
And made jewelry out of pearls
I was homecoming queen
Never did get over that, being a whore
Milkman lyrics - Cocorosie
My brother
My only kin
I'm lost in tears in the mirror again
Lord knows I have no conscience
Put a doubt into my mind
Where your voice, it still remains
Lord knows I still need you
But you're far away
Lost in some playground
In Disneyland
Take me with you
We'll play to the end
Then fall off
the face of the earth
My brother
My long lost friend
We cut our hands to have more skin
All I found
Once I left this land
Is the desolation
Of humankind
Follow me will you wind this tape again
I'll be looking for you
Around the next bend
My only kin
I'm lost in tears in the mirror again
Lord knows I have no conscience
Put a doubt into my mind
Where your voice, it still remains
Lord knows I still need you
But you're far away
Lost in some playground
In Disneyland
Take me with you
We'll play to the end
Then fall off
the face of the earth
My brother
My long lost friend
We cut our hands to have more skin
All I found
Once I left this land
Is the desolation
Of humankind
Follow me will you wind this tape again
I'll be looking for you
Around the next bend
Joseph City lyrics - Cocorosie
cRed, green, blue, yellow
Red, green, blue, yellow
Joseph City, you look mighty pretty
When your hills are red and rosy
Your streams all dry and sandy
City lady
Make me a further fan
In your old casino
Resting heavy (on the land)
Ravens calling
My baby is cold
Back from the East
He is not deceased
Just a little empty
There's nothing in the ark
Let's get out of this house
It smells like rats
Found a quarter in the open couch
Now it amounts to 60 cents
Let's take a walk to the candy shop
Down the road, it's way too hot
Red, green, blue, yellow
Red, green, blue, yellow
Joseph City, you look mighty pretty
When your hills are red and rosy
Your streams all dry and sandy
City lady
Make me a further fan
In your old casino
Resting heavy (on the land)
Ravens calling
My baby is cold
Back from the East
He is not deceased
Just a little empty
There's nothing in the ark
Let's get out of this house
It smells like rats
Found a quarter in the open couch
Now it amounts to 60 cents
Let's take a walk to the candy shop
Down the road, it's way too hot
Red, green, blue, yellow
Spirit Lake lyrics - Cocorosie
Sail away to Spirit Lake
Hurricane dream, waking windy
When you touched me in my blanky
Started screaming, "I'm still dreaming
Of my mama come and take me!"
Board me, I'll remember thee
With starry eyes and rosy cheeks
Lots of gold between the teeth
Stonewashed jeans and bloody knees
Chicken and fox in the tall, tall grass
Better run fast or they'll get your ass
Sleepy uncle angers you
By your skinny white ankles
The normal kids throw sticks at me
We eat popcorn and watch TV
Their mom smokes cigarettes
Wears short shorts, sportin' nicorette
Voice high-pitched and unspirit-like
Sail away to Spirit Lake
Hurricane dream, waking windy
When you touched me in my blanky
Started screaming, "I'm still dreaming
Of my mama come and take me!"
Board me, I'll remember thee
With starry eyes and rosy cheeks
Lots of gold between the teeth
Stonewashed jeans and bloody knees
Chicken and fox in the tall, tall grass
Better run fast or they'll get your ass
Sleepy uncle angers you
By your skinny white ankles
The normal kids throw sticks at me
We eat popcorn and watch TV
Their mom smokes cigarettes
Wears short shorts, sportin' nicorette
Voice high-pitched and unspirit-like
Sail away to Spirit Lake
Rainbowarriors lyrics - Cocorosie
Of all the white horses
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fearing Saint Noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
"O my brother, do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!"
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered:
We are Rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
He's dead, our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He's gone forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning ember's hearts united
We remember mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it's deep inside ya
Fear not you're a Rainbowarrior
Golden light on everything gleaming
We are Rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fearing Saint Noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
"O my brother, do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!"
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered:
We are Rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
He's dead, our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He's gone forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning ember's hearts united
We remember mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it's deep inside ya
Fear not you're a Rainbowarrior
Golden light on everything gleaming
We are Rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
Promise lyrics - Cocorosie
Open-hearted as a heart can be
'Cause we're all a ruin like broken leaves
I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
Stitched together like pants and sleeves
I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
Danced to dust and dusk and
Strung along the highway
I found my way, belligerent
Following the stars of your eyes
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
And if you take me inside
And you give me a place to hide and cry
I'll bathe you in the crystal light
That sleeps between my thighs
At times you fear the angel's sigh
To the lord and heavens that this ain't right
But in this chalice you'll find the wine
Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Sprung from me when first we kissed
You held me quietly, a rush purged me of my past
Opened a desert of diamonds vast, glinting
And a tiny chorus of swallows
Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows swarm
Geometric patterns on the sun
Eclipse, new moon
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Tempt my werewolf not to run
'Cause we're all a ruin like broken leaves
I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
Stitched together like pants and sleeves
I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
Danced to dust and dusk and
Strung along the highway
I found my way, belligerent
Following the stars of your eyes
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
And if you take me inside
And you give me a place to hide and cry
I'll bathe you in the crystal light
That sleeps between my thighs
At times you fear the angel's sigh
To the lord and heavens that this ain't right
But in this chalice you'll find the wine
Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Sprung from me when first we kissed
You held me quietly, a rush purged me of my past
Opened a desert of diamonds vast, glinting
And a tiny chorus of swallows
Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows swarm
Geometric patterns on the sun
Eclipse, new moon
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Bloody Twins lyrics - Cocorosie
I give you my hand
Brown from summer
And you give me a kiss
Like a tiny floret
Which sparks in a blink
A firework of roses
And the night
Floods in
Brown from summer
And you give me a kiss
Like a tiny floret
Which sparks in a blink
A firework of roses
And the night
Floods in
Japan lyrics - Cocorosie
Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that's going nowhere
If you stop, you'll end up somewhere
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands
Now everybody wants to go to Californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else's wife and kids (kids and wife)
But they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everyone wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake ya
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say "Thank you"
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands...
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that's going nowhere
If you stop, you'll end up somewhere
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands
Now everybody wants to go to Californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else's wife and kids (kids and wife)
But they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everyone wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake ya
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say "Thank you"
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands...
Sunshine lyrics - Cocorosie
To all the boys and the girls outside
You know I didn't cry
But you saw me anyway
In the back of the creek one day
And if you're trying to get a ride
On a roller skate or a bike
Just ask and I'll take you round
The block and back this way again
To all the boys and the girls outside
Why don't you come and fly with me
I'll show you why I ran away
The other day from my mom and dad
All the boys and the girls outside
I know you've got crazy things inside
And that's why I've got to show you
How I do the things I do best
I like to roller skate on bike
And that's why I've got crazy style
I go so fast around the block
And as I do I sing this song to you
Sunshine Oh sunshine
If you don't know why you shine
You've got to go into the sun
You'll got to go inside
You know I didn't cry
But you saw me anyway
In the back of the creek one day
And if you're trying to get a ride
On a roller skate or a bike
Just ask and I'll take you round
The block and back this way again
To all the boys and the girls outside
Why don't you come and fly with me
I'll show you why I ran away
The other day from my mom and dad
All the boys and the girls outside
I know you've got crazy things inside
And that's why I've got to show you
How I do the things I do best
I like to roller skate on bike
And that's why I've got crazy style
I go so fast around the block
And as I do I sing this song to you
Sunshine Oh sunshine
If you don't know why you shine
You've got to go into the sun
You'll got to go inside
