THE FROGS ARCHIVE

WANDER:
i used to wander about you
like a duck follows mother
i used to stumble about you
with only weapons for my words
i used to crumble around you
i wonder about you
how are you today?
i used to struggle without you
i still do, I have to admit
i lost direction without you
i wonder about you
how are you today?
it's alright
you can tell me if you miss me
i know you do
it's alright
you can tell me if you miss me
i used to wander about you

LET ME BE YOUR LOVE:
let me be your love
it's all that ask
i'll race you to the hay
i'll leave the barn door open
what the farmer doesn't know
won't hurt him
la la la la la
la la la la la
yet his pitchfork ain't no gas
when it's stuck in my behind
a cock is crowing now
a daughters growing too
pregnant as the moon
exists for only two
la la la la la
let me be your love

TO WIN:
win, it's up to you my love to win
sin, it ain't a sin my love to sin
i know that you and i are in love
grin, upon your face i see a grin
begin, what ends my love must now begin
i know that you and i are in love
it's up to you my love to win

A HOLY STORY:
the pins are getting knocked down
the pins have been set up
a young man has been knocked out
this boy is deep in love
he whispers his new secret
in the eyes of someone new
this dirt i wish they'd sweep it
since they haven't got a clue
the circus of redemption
the circus of the nude
a young man has been naked
this boy he stars to brood
and somewhere in the distance
in the hearts of animals so wild
there lies a holy story
but this could take a while
the pins are getting knocked down
the pins have been set up
a young man has been knocked out
this boy is deep in love
somewhere in the distance
in the hearts of animals so wild
there lies a holy story
but this could take a while

WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER:

i once loved you

the weather is changin'

i'll soon love you

look into my heart

look into my soul

look further if you wish to

always remember always know

i've changed

you still love me

the temperature's fallin'

in your frost bitten dreams

when hell freezes over

a garden of fire

a valley of penguins

you're still my desire

when hell freezes over

purchased your with blood your sacred bones

within all the stars you're never alone

beauty for all at the push of a button

beauty for all at the push of a button

poets arise arise arise

crushed among the ruins of love

your bracelets fall in the burial ground

at the touch of your hand, touch of your lips

hideous creatures start to dance

beauty for all at the push of a button

poets arise arise arise

beauty for all at the push of a button

poets arise arise arise

beauty for all at the push of a button

poets arise arise arise

beauty for all at the push of a button

RISK THE HEAVENS:

all that brings me to this place where your eyes receive the thinker

in your mind there's always something to begin the dance i've given

in the stars your perfume lingers

people want the waltz of love

you will need to risk the heavens

for the prize is so much bigger than above

you've been waiting for tomorrow well tomorrow's almost here

and before the future grows it needs a sprinkle here and there

from the skyline to the sun

it's just a boulder's throw away

you will need to risk the heavens

for the prize is so much bigger than above

and your hair is mighty long

JUST LAUGH IT OFF:

another heart to break

another one to rape

another nest to shake

or so they say

if in the end it's you

if in the end you lose

if in the end you're bruised

just laugh it off

then in the height of trance

when your weapons start to dance

treat them to the life they were born to know

then at the height of love

when your weapons glow like doves

point them to the sky they were born to fly

another heart to break

another one to rape

another nest to shake

or so they say

if in the end it's you

if in the end you lose

if in the end you're bruised

just laugh it off

then in the height of trance

when your weapons start to dance

treat them to the life they were born to know

then at the height of love

when your weapons glow like doves

point them to the sky they were born to fly

until i realized

darkly i love you
