SNOW
I wonder if the people with snow in their hair
Knows how cute it looks before they brush it out
I wonder if there really could be someone out there
Who just knows exactly what it is I try to sing about
I wonder if the planet is a cold lonely place
And if it matters so much if we’re alone in space
I hope the sun wont rise tomorrow to melt all the snow
Because I think that snow is cool
I hope the sun will rise and sink and only shine on those who think
That snow is only cold and makes your car go slow
I wonder if we’ll talk again I wonder if she’ll be my friend
I wonder where I’ll be in seven years, I wonder where I’ll be in seven years
If earth is just a station on the universe train
I think that going alone would make you go insane
But some days when it’s hot and warm and ice cream melts fast
I think that snow is all I wanna have
I hope the sun will rise and sink and only shine on those who think
That snow is only cold and makes your car go slow
I wonder if we’ll talk again I wonder if she’ll be my friend
I wonder where I’ll be in seven years, I wonder where I’ll be in seven years
I wonder where I’ll be in seven years

ST. THERESE
Hey, I’m getting a little lost
Can you show me a little way?
Maybe longer if that’s okay
I wanna see you
Oh, I wanna “bop to the top”( Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, 2006)
In an elevator made of God
And I want you to come along
I wanna see you
Or so I say
But I falter and I doubt
Is that okay?
That I’m only all in if it’s sunny or snow
You, you’re holding my hand and steed
If you hold on until they bleed
We can ride in the summer breeze
I wanna see you
Or so I say
But I falter and I doubt
Is that okay?
That I’m only all in if it’s sunny or snow
Hey, I’m getting a little found
And I’d like this to be profound
But I’m stuck in a simple mind
I wanna see you

IN THE FLESH
To be alive in the flesh
To be in love in the flesh
To be in doubt in the flesh
To be awake
To be afraid, to be ashamed
I wanna do it all with you
Shying away in the flesh
Scared and ashamed in the flesh
Staying inside in the flesh
Stay in the shade
Staying away, staying awake
I wanna do it all with you
To be a cloud in the sky
Singing out loud in disguise
Hiding a word in a veil
Give me away
I want a mess, you in the flesh
I wanna do it all with you
I wanna be ashamed afraid awake alive in love

LONG DISTANCE FRIENDSHIP
Writing of your love in tiny books
But the pages are too small
so you hang them on the wall
so you throw them from the roof
Love you in your diary in your book
but now I know you all too well
So I’ll try to stay away
I will try to keep my distance
if your diary pages reach China
you can flirt with chinese girls
they’re rising fast they’ll take over the world
If you wanna share your darkest dreams
I’ll make sure to keep your secrets
I’ll be making sure to keep it
between you, me and your long distance friends
Writing a love letter to the world:
“Can you see me from afar?
I am bright like a dying star
Will you please be my long distance long distance long distance long distance… friend?”
If your diary pages reach Sweden
you can eat fermented fish
you can earn a friend and earn a favorite dish
Writing a love letter to the world
“Can you see me from afar?
I am bright like a dying star
Will you please be my long distance friend?”

JUPITER AND MARS
Jupiter and Mars
are two of many stars
That I can’t find in the night sky
‘cause I don’t know where they are supposed to be
Jupiter and Mars
They should be driving cars
Then I’d see them in the city
And they could go driving far away from here
Mars and Jupiter
I’m still afraid of her
I’m still afraid of me
I’m still this dumb
Pluto and her friends
They’re rolling off the end
And I wanna keep them closer
But they tumble break and bend and fall apart
Mars and Jupiter
I’m still afraid of her
I’m still afraid of me
I’m still this dumb
Let us map it out
Let us count the stars
“Let me see what spring is like
on Jupiter and Mars”(Bart Howard, 1954)

IF I LOVE YOU WITH MY WHOLE HEART
Some nights the words don’t come so easily
She says some things she doesn’t want to be
But tonight it’s flowing like a river so she writes
If I love you with my whole heart
Wont you give me back at least half?
Wouldn’t that only be fair, my dear?
He is living by the seaside
So she walks and picks up all the sea side shells
If he tries, then maybe he can see her
Maybe if he’s looking very hard
If I love you with my whole heart
Wont you give me back at least half?
Wouldn’t that only be fair, my dear?
Most nights the tears don’t come so easily
By now he’s little but a memory
But tonight she’s flowing like a river so she writes
If I love you with my whole heart
Wont you give me back at least half?
Wouldn’t that only be fair, my dear?
Darling wont you love me like I do

RIVER
If I wade into the river
I’ll get wet and pulled away
Oh if only even once
Can’t the river wade in me?
I can swim against the current
I can push with all my strength
But that only makes it clear
That I’m the one who’s getting wet
I like when it’s raining, ‘cause then we’re more the same
But I’m growing soggy and she just grows
If I’m sailing in the river
Then I’m slightly less involved
And a little more alone
Can’t the river sail with me?
I like when it’s raining, ‘cause then we’re more the same
But I’m growing soggy and she just grows

ONCE UPON A TIME
Once upon a time there was a prince
And he had everything
A horse ride on, sword to kill with
And a heart to love (who’d ask for more?)
With his horse the prince went through the woods
And with his sword he killed the witch
And with his heart he did the
Climbing in the hair (You know the one?)
Oh, what greeted our prince there?
The princess turned towards him and she said:
That love’s a very fickle thing
You’re out as soon as you fall in
And I’ve been hurt and I’ve been hurting
One too many times
But if you wanna we can talk
I just read this amazing book
Now I’ve got more to say than I have words
Once upon a time there was Leviathan
Before that there was two
But for our sake
One had to go (it was the girl)
Behemoth and Leviathan are two peas in a pod
But they wont fall in love
‘Cause love’s a very fickle thing
You’re out as soon as you fall in
And I’ve been hurt and I’ve been hurting
One too many times
But if you wanna we can talk
I just read this amazing book
Now I’ve got more to say than I have word
Once upon a time there was a girl
She’d kill the witches without
Hope of winning the heart of princes
She was too in love (with just a boy)
If I saw that hero in the world
She’d flick her hero-cape
Over her shoulder, win me over
She is just too cool (you’re just a boy)
Oh, but, life is just unfair
That girl gave in to despair
‘Cause love’s a very fickle thing
You’re out as soon as you fall in
And I’ve been hurt and I’ve been hurting
One too many times
But if you wanna we can talk
I just read this amazing book
Now I’ve got more to say than I have words
‘Cause love’s a very fickle thing
You’re out as soon as you fall in
And I’ve been hurt and I’ve been hurting
One too many times
But if you wanna we can talk
I just read this amazing book
Now I’ve got more to say than I have words

THROUGH YOUR BREAST I FELT YOUR HEARTBEAT
Stay up and sleep in
Sharing more than bed with you
I love you it’s lust
And I want you it’s love
I am the big spoon
You’re asleep and turned away
Of all the utensils
I’m scared that I’m a knife
Stained sheets and cold tea
Leftover from yesterday
I heat it and fold them
And we’re like Brand New
Your sleeping one “that’s a pretty face”(Jesse Lacey, 2006)
And mine’s not in the mirror
Like a vampire the sun has fucked me up
Real’ good
But if I wrap my gaping flesh in feelings it is beautiful
Through your breast I felt your heart beat

WALK ME HOME
After the show
Getting ready to go
The way to my heart
Leads to my home
Walk me home walk me home walk me home walk me home
Walk me to my doorstep and I’ll miss you more than otherwise
Walking home is such a lovely ending to the day
Walk me home walk me home all the way
Treat me to ice cream
Like a prince swoop in
Shortcut through the park
Kiss me in the dark
Walk me home walk me home walk me home walk me home
Walk me to my doorstep and I’ll miss you more than otherwise
Walking home is such a lovely ending to the day
Walk me home walk me home all the way
Tell me that you love me tell me that you love me
I’ll tell you that I love ‘cause I do
I love you
Walk me home walk me home
Walk me to my doorstep and I’ll miss you more than otherwise
Walking home is such a lovely ending to the day
Walk me home walk me home all the way

TOP SECRET BONUS TRACK
If the end of the world
Was a feature length away
I could love you for today
I’d do it good
But we live and we die
And it takes a bit more time
So with time to lose my mind
I do it good
And there’s that damn melancholy
My sister flew away
Now she’s in the USA
She thinks it was a bad idea
And I can’t tell her that I think she’s
Wrong, cause I’m dumb
And I’m weaker than I’m dumb
And I’m emptier than weak
And I’m far away
But there’s that damned melancholy
Now I’m scared of us again
And I’m scared of what we’ve done
And “I’ve come to hate my body
And everything that it requires” (Lou Reed, 1969)
Lou Reed is dead
Iwata’s also dead
And I will die as well
But I distract myself
‘til there’s that damned melancholy
But I love you
Don’t forget
I am glad
