Snails

We could leave today
Pack our bags and run away
Go somewhere we've never been
Hope that we get lost
That's exactly what we want
Throw our caution to the wind
Oh, what if it rains?
Oh, but then again...
We're just two snails who left our shells for the day
For the day
We're just two snails who left our shells for the day
For the day
No insecurities
We've got no one left to please
And nothing left to hide
And with no guarantees
We could fail so miserably
But at least we'll say that we tried
Oh, I'm so afraid...
Oh, but then again...
We're just two snails who left our shells for the day
For the day
We're just two snails who left our shells for the day
For the day
And so we'll take it slow
We'll learn to let everything go
But our balloons we'll hold on tight
And if anybody asks
They're just living life too fast
And they can go fly a kite
Oh, it's the end of the day...
But we'll do it again!
We're just two snails who left our shells for the day
For the day
We're just two snails who left our shells for the day
For the day
For a day

I am safe, inside my cage
Free from fear and free from hate
But I like you, and I'll let you in
And you'll never be lonely again
You don't bug me one bit
I'm as happy as a cricket
You don't bug me one bit
I'm as happy as a cricket
You can wish upon a star
If your luck won't take you far
And you might leave the kettle on the hearth
But I won't forget who you are
You don't bug me one bit
I'm as happy as a cricket
You don't bug me one bit
I'm as happy as a cricket
And I, I'll be your conscience
If you really want it
I, I'll be your conscience
If you really want it
You don't bug me one bit
I'm as happy as a cricket
You don't bug me one bit
I'm as happy as a cricket

Moths

You are my flame
I've been trying, I've been trying
To explain your empty drawer
But the sound of moths is starting to get me

Ladybugs

I met a girl with a red and black parasol
We fell in love in the fall
'Cause today, today, today
My wishes flew away with a ladybird
My wishes flew away with a ladybird
Ladybird
She fled my room, while I was mending shoes
And flew away home, though she said she'd be back soon
And someday, someday, someday
I will fly away with my ladybird
I will fly away with my ladybird
Ladybird
La da da!
Ladada! Ladada!
Dadum!

Grasshoppers

I haven't got strong femora, or compound eyes
But I'll give you love of the highest order
Until the day I die
Grasshoppers fly
So why can't we?
If we try hard enough?
Grasshoppers fly
So why can't we?
If we try hard enough?
It can't be that tough.
If I had a set of antennae, they probably wouldn't be very long
But I'll always treat you right
No I could never treat you wrong
Grasshoppers fly
So why can't we?
If we try hard enough?
Grasshoppers fly
So why can't we?
If we try hard enough?
It can't be that tough.
So we'll make music with my tympanal organ - we'll write a bunch of tunes
I just hope that I'm not too boring
Because I'm not into bugs like you
Grasshoppers fly
So why can't we?
If we try hard enough?
Grasshoppers fly
So why can't we?
If we try hard enough?
It can't be that tough.

The Bookseller's House

Thematic, majestic and beautiful. A whole series of albums from Rogue Valley concern themselves with love, nostalgia, and the landscape of America. Currently one of my favourite things these days.
