The Moonchild
A Knock at the Door
I Always Hear Them Buzzing
Snow Spectrum
It's Raining From the Trees

lyrics

Orange Stars

pt 1. The Moonchild

Everything going to be alright
Don't let the alarm clock make you feel bad
If the early morn has got you forlorn
I understand.

Balthazar Bux is late for class
Another test, homework's forgotten
and the bullies at school, they think you're uncool
and they chase you.
Robinson Crusoe, on his island alone
You tell me I'm safe, put down the book when I want

Mr. Coriander, do you think that I may never return?
There's a girl inside the book
She said she knows me
As if people didn't already think I'm crazy?
Now, I've seen the Moonchild...

Mr. Coriander have you ridden the dragon through the clouds,
over the buildings of your hometown?
The further I go, the less that I know about the real world.
Now all the memories in my head,
are all movies with no sound
and all my solid ground just crumbles to nothing.

Mr. Coriander, do you think that I may never return?
There's a girl inside the book
She said she knows me
As if people didn't already think I'm crazy?
Now, I've seen the Moonchild...

pt 2 A Knock at the Door

I've let you down, I haven't been around
There's things that I don't want to say
but I will say them now.
So let's float on the river, the water is so cold
and will you forgive me, right here on the shore?

The truth will electrify you
I'll be your flashlight, the dove in your hand
I'll hold your hand 'til you get there
and I'll understand you.

This crude body is all that I have
to show you that I care
Someday I'll up and fly
out of my mind into you, where you are.

Pt 3. I Always Hear Them Buzzing

Under the rafters,
There's an imaginary song you've been after
I'll sit and listen all afternoon
Where have the bees gone?
I used to hear them buzzing outside
and inside your electric amplifier
Can you hear them buzzing?
I always hear them buzzing.

Pt 4 Snow Spectrum

All night long, the heater comes and the heater goes
Humming like a song, my body knows where it belongs
I can see my friend, the candle burns
legs and a bicycle
Headlights on the snow, white as a crow is black and silver.

The numb, can't last forever
The pain of thawing out feels like pleasure
Being born, again
Springtime has returned to the mountains


Pt 5. It's Raining From the Trees

I'm the one who wants to love you
Every day, and be part of you
You're the blood inside my veins
The reason for my name
now who is left to blame?

Orange leaves, oh they fall
Just like orange stars
remind us our lives are passing us by
and the dream that we had
hasn't died
It's living inside a hideaway sigh

They were with you there in your room
With you in your toys
with you every morning
where the summer apples shine
in the corner of your mind
I was living in your breast all this time
to the secrets, and feelings I was blind
but now they're mine
