The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn
Album - 9 aprile 2007 - Debaser id 393834

In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fear Saint Noni’s wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
“O my brother do not leave me
Lest the evilspirits harm you”
Rainbowarriors of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered

We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears

He’s dead our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He’s gone forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning embers hearts united
We remembered mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it’s deep inside ya
Fear not you're a rainbowarrior
Golden light on everything gleaming

We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
(2x)

Open hearted as a heart can be
'cause we all a ruin like broken leaves
I give you me in oceans of tears
Up to my knees
Stitched together like pants and sleeves
I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
Danced to dust and dusk
And strung along the highway
I found my way belligerent
Following the stars of your eyes
Oh, promise me
That you'll cherish this tarnished
Oh, this tarnished offering
And if you take me inside
And you give me a place to hide and cry
I'll bathe you in the crystal light
That sleeps between my thighs
At times you fear that the angel's sigh
To the lord and heavens that this ain't right
But in this chalice you'll find the wine
Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
And the heart is dumb
And the heart is blind
But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Oh, promise me that you'll cherish
This tarnished
Oh, this tarnished offering
Oh, this offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Sprung from me when first we kissed
You held me quietly
A rush
Purged me of my past
Opened a desert of diamonds vast
Glinting and a tiny chorus of swallows
Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows
Swarm geometric patterns on the sun
Eclipse new moon
And tempt my werewolf not to run
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Oh, Promise me
That you'll cherish this tarnished
Oh, this tarnished offering
Oh oh
Promise me
That you'll cherish this tarnished
Oh, this tarnished offering...

I give you my hand
Brown from summer
And you give me a kiss
Like a tiny forest
Which sparks in a blink
A firework of roses
And the night floods in

To all the boys and the girls outside
You know I didn’t cry
But you saw me anyway
In the back of the creek one day
And if you’re trying to get a ride
On a roller skate or a bike
Just ask and I’ll take you round
The block and back this way again
To all the boys and the girls outside
Why don’t you come and fly with me
I’ll show you why I ran away
The other day from my mom and dad
All the boys and the girls outside
I know you’ve got crazy things inside
And that’s why I’ve got to show you
How I do the things I do best
I like to roller skate on bike
And that’s why I’ve got crazy style
I go so fast around the block
And as I do I sing this song to you
Sunshine Oh sunshine
If you don’t know why you shine
You've got to go into the sun
You’ll got to go inside

Black poppy sleeps or dreamless night
In summer shade of moony light
Hazy veils of clouds loom low
Like warm kittens close to the earth
Underground bodies stir with no sound
No one to hear them under the ground
Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles
Silvery meadow murmurs the song of
Tiny glow worm glowing
Rain starts her shimmery decent
Into the old leathery sking the farm

''In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight''

Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip, yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I’m just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was violent, my eyes my arms
And and I'm her child and he was the bastard that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's got his own two sons
Trys to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young heart flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator

''In a dream my father came to me
And made me swear that I’d keep
What’s sacred to me
And if I get the choice to live in his name
I’ll pray my way through the rain
Singing oh happy day''

I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another western vampire
Different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love ship
First kiss frog and princess

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokenness
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on.
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
in the outright abandon of this orphan child.
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse.
And to wake up half empty,
Only to be filled again with mourning.

He's my evil shadow dove,
My black Palamito.
Can't break him like a diamond skull
I can't seem to do so.
Can't just rub him out like the
Mob used to do so.
Like memories of porno & teastains & tobacco O'h
it's a mini disastro
Bigger than the ice age
Don't know if baby dinosaurs
Maybe could live through it,
or Indians and butterflies;
What's crushed is my spirit.
Oh I fear it is too fragile
Like fall-leaves burn like paper.

I always knew,
I would spend a lot of time alone.
No one would understand me.
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals?
Spend all my time,
amongst the animals.
And on the tracks
I would go
they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals.

Oh, I'm just a fall-leaf something simple and shy like that.
That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk.
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons,
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul. Lord..
His name still lingers, maybe lactates on my tongue.
Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny;
Miserable but mine.
I look like his mother or Sophia Loren in an
old fashioned movie,
Slow motion I cling to my child,
Desperate for love.
One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the
subordinate feelings I cast aside, and
maybe I had lied when I said I was ok.
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say,
"Wild willow, windy winter
won't you blow through me?
My whole eternity."

I always knew,
I would spend a lot of time alone.
No one would understand me.
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals?
Spend all my time,
amongst the animals.
And on the tracks
I would go
they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals.

Ask me about my mother
And I'll tell you that I love her
'Cause she feeds me all kinds of foods
Yeah, she feeds me all kinds of foods
Don't you love your baby
Tell me tell me tell me tell me true
And all the food you ate
Enough to fill your plate

Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Don't burn down mine

(written by Devendra Banhart)

Deep inside my heart and it's splintered at it's core,
Molden curdle of milken puddle.
Dreams of warm breasts settling in my mouth,
Be my spouse, make a babe and a house
Apple tree, drunken brawl domestically
Dirty dog dusty-pawed bloody nose rose-embroidered sheets
Dangle like women in the breeze
on a line above the yard.
And in my heart a flower dies slow
like a campfire covered in piss, my love
like snow falls,
My love like a snow fall.

Raphael you know just how
To take me in the swimming pool
Like a child being baptized.
Beneath the starry sky we lie
Drowning in your watery thighs,
Luscious eyes; you're a teenage player.
In my heart an island sinks slow
Tears fall in the kitchen sink, O'h
Don't speak I can hear you..
Don't speak I can hear you.

There was a girl who talked to geese
She understood them, and they her
One day she looked to a crystal stream
and saw in its bed a diamond
she picked it up and placed it in her hair

she did so

as she did so, she turned into a geese
it was then revealed that the other geese,
she magically had understood,
were once human like her

I met a boy, he wore a seatbelt
He kissed my cheek in the back seat
We played basketball his girl cousins
Played too in Germaine

I'll be your girl
I'll be your boy

Buy Victor he was my first man
He didn't have any money
So I paid for his movie
Viva lost childhood

Be my boy forever
And I'll be your girl
