Frumpy And The Strange Machine

In a mystic land lived a little man
Frumpy Ogden Styre he lived beneath the briars
He wore a candle crown and sat behind a frown
There he'd sit all day lonely and afraid

All the day he'd sit and stare with antiseptic hollow eyes
Ugly little homely gnome alone he sits in candle light
Every night turns out the light and lets his mind go out to space

On the liquid sheen lands a strange machine
Behind the rattling gears a small strange creature peers
A door then opened slow and from the misty glow
A small grey hand appears it's drawing Frumpy near

All the day he'd sit and stare with antiseptic hollow eyes
Ugly little homely gnome alone he sits in candle light
Every night turns out the light and lets his mind go out to space

In a mystic realm in propellered gown
Frumpy Ogden Styre lives above the spire...

House Of Small

I know a girl named Emily Small
She sits home all day dreaming
She paints strange pictures upon her wall
And says the sun needs cleaning
It's dark in the house of small
She can know no love at all

Emily waving arms up high
Fingers touching heaven
Her eyes reflecting clear blue sky
But count the clouds eleven
It's raining in the house of small
She can know no love at all

I know a girl named Emily Small
She stays up all night thinking
Strange voice echoes in the hall
Says the moon is bleeding
It's quiet in the house of small
She can know no love at all

Emily staring in the sun
Painted lips are gleaming
Her eyes are like a tranqual sea
But count the ships there sinking
Drowning in the house of small
She can know no love at all

When She Came Around

When she came around
I hoped that she would stay
And when she came to stay
All the birds in the sky started singing
And I swear I could hear bells ringing
When she came to play

If she went away
I could not remain
If she went away
All the steeples and spires they would crumble
And the Eiffel Tower would tumble
If she ran away

Flowers of pain rooms full of rain
I go insane when she speaks my name
Cold winds blow in castles of snow
The sun starts to glow when she says hello

Now she's gone away
She's so far away
And since she's gone away
All the rain in my head began pouring
And the sun will not rise in the morning
For she left today

Hey Mary Jane / We Love You

Hey Mary Jane we don't mean to call you names
Sweet Mary Jane we just think you're kind of strange
But we like your eyes of rain
And we love you

Hey Mary Jane we don't mean to make you cry
Dear Mary Jane we just thought that you could fly
And we like your clothes of sky
And we love you

And we're really very sorry
for the things we've done to you
Took you out walking
and filled your shoes with glue
Cracked your bottle glasses
and stole your money too
Then we took off all your clothing
and left you at the zoo

Hey Mary Jane we don't mean to cause you pain
Pretty Mary Jane we just think you're out of range
And we like your hair of chain
And we love you

And we're really very sorr
for the things we've done to you
Tied you down with ribbon
and died your blonde hair blue
Stole your little diary
all the secrets we now knew
Then we wrapped you up in paper
and sent you to the moon

Because we love you
We love you...

Stop

She used to live in the basement
She stayed alone in a candy coloured room
I just needed somebody new
She just needed somebody too

I used to bring her the paper
And sit and wait 'til she opened up her door
I'd never seen no one before
You just keep me waiting for more

I think she knows what's happening
But I don't think she really cares for me
I'd like to hold her to me
But I just better stop

She used to walk in the garden
I'd watch leaves as they danced about her feet
She is the woman for me
She is so perfect too

I followed her to the market
I heard her singing a haunting melody
Could she be singing for me?
I think she's singing for me

I think she knows what's happening
But I don't think she really cares for me
I'd like to hold her to me
But I just better stop

Dr. Centenial's going insane
He threw all his things away
He walks through the corridors out in the air
He's watching the aeroplanes

When all the city is astir,
he sits alone in the rain
No one seems to notice him
slowly slipping away

Dr. Centenial's losing his mind
He sat in his car today
He rolled up the windows and locked all the doors
He's not coming out they say

The institute of mental health
is trying to have him paged
But all the while he's sitting alone
quietly going insane

Dr. Centenial's losing his brain
He opened the doors today
And all of the patients are leaving their rooms
They meet on the promanade

When all the city is asleep
and safely tucked away
Dr. Centenial's laughing men
are marching the strange parade

Julia

Butterflies flying through grey castles of her eyes
Julia crying... A puddle that will not dry
Tears drop like bombs through the sky today

Julia is dressed in green
A blooming garden she has been
But Julia why can't you see...

Fireflies shining in black tower of the night
Julia smiling... A distant star in the sky
Exploding before my eyes today

Julia is dressed in blue
See the sky in front of you
Julia what can I do?

Icicle Rainbow

Carolyn stands in the window
Victorian icycle rainbow
I'm just sitting here in stratosphere meadow
Love is coming up just like a volcano

She draws a picture for me
On frosty window it's all I can see
Icicle rainbow... Icicle rainbow...

Walk with me trhough crystal branch winter
Christmas queen bride of December
I will meet you there under the willow
You can walk with me to stratosphere meadow

She draws a picture for me
On frosty window it's all I can see
Icicle rainbow... Icicle rainbow...

And I thought she said she'd wait for me forever more
But the witer's here and I am all alone and waiting
And the picture that you drew for me on frosted window
Is melting fast away the sun is shining on you
Icicle rainbow...

Walter Ghoul's Lavender Brigade is coming
Walter and his caravan of friends are coming
And everyone's happy (but everyone's scared)
And everyone's laughing (but all out of fear)
And everyone says it's the strangest
collection that they,ve ever seen

Walter Ghoul's Lavender Brigade is coming
Walter hands out lemonade and says "good morning"
And everyone's watching (but everyone's scared)
And everyone's waving (but all out of fear)
And everyone says Mr. Walter
can I have a photo of him

Kaleidoscopic caravan
with laughing Wilma and the two headed man
One eyed Henry and his upper torso... Parasitic twin

Walter Ghoul's Lavender Brigade is coming
Lock the doors and close the curtains Mrs. Wilson
Everyone's coming (but everyone's scared)
And everyone's pushing (is everyone here)
As the spotlight reveals
the incredible zoomorphic man

Paranormal... pornographic...
bella donna... The nude astrologer
You can see your future when you lie with her
