LYRICS:

I see you walking through trafalgar square
little billie shears was on piano
well i didn’t think you noticed and I didn’t think you cared
your flight was fluid you’re a sparrow

i seen you driving down the 405
hey were you listening to zappa?
well in the filthy catacombs beneath houdini’s house
l rudy valentino waits and he wonders
and he says

isn’t it a miracle we’re still floating?
isn’t it a miracle we’re not frozen?
isn’t it a miracle we’re all chosen?

I heard you whistling through Trafalgar square
you and little jimmy dickens
well i didn’t think the quartet of lions even cared
that it was nelson rockefeller on percussion

isn’t it a miracle we’re still floating?
isn’t it a miracle we’re not frozen?
isn’t it a miracle we’re all chosen?

to be breathing.. and loving
to be moving, moving something
to be wanting nothing
to be flying where angels fear to tread
to be driving
To be soaring , always soaring
to be living

i seen you driving benedict late at night
little stevie jones was riding shotgun
well i didn’t know a cadillac could float above the ground
with the wrath of god shining down
no I didn’t think a cadillac could float above the ground
with God’s love shining down

Jonathan Wilson - Marzipan

Lyrics:

Williamsburg early 20’s
Your old Mercedes sedan

It was a fever dream starring marzipan

In the Polish part of town

!!! ; they were all sort of clowns you lived with
I struggled to love your bland delight

Hank Williams and folk music had sort of changed me
Well I threw me in
to the deep end
And to be honest it felt like…
Rock and roll was gone
Like I had moved on…

To Roy Acuff and Chet Atkin’s sacred arboretum
It was a rock and roll crematorium
And jazz was there too

In fact jazz had been there all along

I knew these no-playing motherfuckers were not brothers of mine

Nor were they sisters divine
No they were chat-room, AOL'ing, truffle-shaving, eBay-scamming, freaks
With gear on the brain
I know it sounds insane
But these people got paid to play

I’m riding around wearing a frown

In a tripped up spaced out world
Well life underground

Well that’s no longer found

In a post-modern
Infinitely lame-er world

New England’s shit Terrance I love you
Your soothing yet unnerving voice
Well frankly Terrance

Makes me want to do the do with you
You know I saw those little elves with you
You touch me

Well we’ve come to the part of the song right now

Where I’m gonna fuck around

Go for broke like my boy Jim Pembroke

He inspired me to do a little something right here
A little song and dance
A little “take a chance”

I wanna know what is happening to the human psyche
That it would in fact desire less and less...
Humanity

A green and gold marching band

Stood alone with a man named Flat Stan
With a plan
On a balmy summer’s eve
Before bringing in the sheaves
They ripped his tawdry wizard sleeve
And his ADD met his OCD with his BPD
Ok blah blah blah

New England’s shit Terrance I love you

Your soothing yet unnerving voice
Well frankly Terrance
Makes me wanna do the do with you
You know I saw the little elves with you

Jonathan Wilson - Ol’ Father Time

Watch on YouTube

Lyrics :

Here’s a song inside a memory
Of some of the earliest teachings of Ol’ Father
Time He is seen parading around every
Saturday
On a see-saw with a raven’s wings on a Sunday
Drive Every fall he makes the leaves come off the
Trees
As if to say “fuck you all”

So tonight…
Father Time if you can hear me
Father Time if you can hear
Me
Ol’ Father Time if you can hear me
Well could you make it better than it was before?
Could you make it better than it ever was
Before?

There’s a funk in the river
It’s carried people, food, culture, throughout all
Time It has to do with water
And how it’s the third most abundant molecule in the
Universe Behind molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide

Father Time if you can hear me
Father Time if you can hear
Me
Ol’ Father Time if you can hear me
Well could you make it better than it was before
Could you make it better than it ever was
Before
