Noon Chill Words don't cede to unbecoming fact 4. Blue Eye Shadow O bom exemplo já te dei Mudei a minha conduta It's danger we long for or at least some rain Stand over there one at a time Blue eye shadow, all smudged and red Mas agora me aprumei Weight on both feet, look me in the eye Self-portraits, crowds bathing, are hardly proof at all Beauty, all changeable, rustling, tussling red Cold from the stream, plywood in vines Mulata fuzarqueira da Gamboa © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Andres Levin, Melvin Gibbs Cutouts, clowns, all fours on the lawn In my rendering Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) Só anda com tipo à toa I may have made you Embarca em qualquer canoa! Noon chill Too young or too old Dawn all the time 3. Simply Are Let me draw attention to Mulata vou contar Smoke drifts across wood chips in lines I do love your lack of all expression Those riddles in your pose As minhas mágoa The camera's damp, forgiving, kind Find it not at all distressing Go on, stun me please Meu amô não tem erre Dog far away. Underwear line Life was tailor made for our refreshment With your lovely puzzling ease Mas é amô debaixo d'água! While life is rarely lacking dust How do you absorb Blade by blade green survives all that shade Não gosto de te ver Covered with details and fuss Moonlight you restore to the air? Sempre a fazer tristes papé © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Andres Levin, Melvin Gibbs You are one of those creatures who simply are It's alogical A se passar pros coroné Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) Simply beyond why So now we've moved beyond Simple as okay Nasceste com uma boa sina 2. Whirlwind The mirror stage of love E se hoje andas bem no luxo Let me provide whatever bravery's required The bits we're relishing É passando a beiçolina! I give a gift Whatever necessary fraction Are abundant and unkempt I'd rather not Well I prefer the sunlight Mulata tu tens que te preparar Somehow what is But nothing more than it takes to provoke a reaction That you collect Pra receber o azar Is way past lost Daydream your way around the room Keep it for me in a color Que algum dia há de chegar Blood rushes in, uselessly strong Through intersections and aggressions You are one of those creatures who simply are Right next to your chest Aceita o meu braço I hear a sound, the sound drops out Simply beyond why E vem entrar nas comida © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Andres Levin, Melvin Gibbs Words buzz like flies becoming facts Simple as okay Pra começar outra vida Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) Comigo tu podes viver bem Whirlwind whirlwind Pay enough attention to be fair Pois aonde um passa fome No need to get up from your chair 5.

De preparar as gordura Hey you're kind of far It's you but yet not not too brunette (Admin. by EMI) Nem cuidar mais das costura Far fetched if at all Now we're harnessed to these aquatic thrills 8. Take My Place That's why I live in the sand Take my place at the table Confusing wavelength with phrase length The table in the sky Only seeming to recoil from the confessional My words take place Take my hand and go under Look at it while you're doing it It's a struggle if blowing bubbles is It's a short fall, a free for all Why are we only half taken I know all about anything at all To the other place? What elsewhere have you been circulating in? © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Andres Levin, Melvin Gibbs, Sussan Deyhim Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI)/De-Construct Publishing (BMI) © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Melvin Gibbs, Andres Levin Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) 7. Gods Are Weak 9. Daily Life A rising hand Reaches for, toward So you’ll do this for me, even this she says A word when read Speaking in your little sister’s voice Your hand up You put daily life at a disadvantage Held, pushing air Bring me to tears. Tears can’t be forced You get © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Melvin Gibbs, Andres Levin Closer by a degree Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) Closer to my decree All formlessness 10. Light Moves Away As gods are weak Your color's a wall, a ball, a scrawl You part for me I know you have a camera in your hair Greet yourself there Light moves away Each step takes A clearing in the smoke for your back Sides, pairs there You get Your eyes are just all there is to see Closer by a degree I'm lost in your candor continent Closer to my decree Flash paper, sweat All formlessness I'm seized by it, fee taken in skin © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Melvin Gibbs, Andres Levin Essa linha não caiu não 'tou afim não 'tou afim Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) Essa linha não caiu não 'tou afim Seus olhos deixando se olhar 12. Auguri Vamo subir? Tou com sono A touch of play in the waist © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Melvin Gibbs, Andres Levin Your successful mistakes Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Archetext Music (BMI) Are all camouflage That flint's just an act 11. Why Compare Staged in your eyes Why compare Misplace to the right, misplace to the left The rare to the unheard, We pace and we slide Dissonant to alien? Find me a place in your unruliness Why compare This hunger for drift and duress One love to the next, Find me a place for this unruliness Animals to oranges? A pathway, auguri, yourself In point of fact we shouldn't do this One word for how islands rise There must be higher ground from where it all makes sense High up from the sea We can't help ourselves All round seeds collect Skin here, skin there Life spreads over them One mouth, another... By pollination Why compare Alienation, whatever it takes The rose shaped to the pear, Roots out of the ground The mute to the unstated? © 1997 Arto Lindsay, Marisa Monte, Davi Moraes Why compare Global Rights Inc (BMI)/Monte Songs Edições Musicais Ltda. Having you to not, (Admin. by EMI) The lazy to the graceful? Don't lose your footing, there is a difference How can we get the distance to take it all in?
