The Olde Headboard (02:51)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
What becomes a legend most?
I'll let you think about it,
Space Ghost coast-to-coast
While I give thanks today
For all the things I stole
And all the things I gave away.
You make experiment, you try to
Teach a lesson and then take a stand.
A fake handshake don't make no man.
I don't know about a year ago or so
I must have made you up in my head.
What did I base you on?
Was it a Broadway show I saw?
A hot new book I read?
Half-baked you come at me
You know I told you not to call here no more.
The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.

Yo no comprendo, mi amour.
Oh no, yo no comprendo.
The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.

Where'd you get the dumb idea
For all the secretive platonic dating?
I have experience
In the love and the lives
Of Man and Machine.

Yo no comprendo, mi amour.
Oh no, yo no comprendo.
The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.

What becomes a legend most?
The love and the lives of Man and Machine.
Olde Headboard.

The love and the lives of Man and Machine.
Olde Headboard.

You Don't Own Me (02:24)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
You don't own me, no
I'm not one of your little toys
You don't own me, no
You can't keep me from those other boys

Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display

You don't own me, no
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, no
Don't tie me down, 'cause I'd never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

You don't own me, no
I'm not one of your little toys
You don't own me, no
You can't keep me from those other boys

Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young
I love to be free

I'm young
Yeah, I love to be young
I'm free
Yeah, I love to be free
Free to do whatever I want
To live my life the way that I please

The New Zero (03:40)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
he's agreed
to take me
to the ice hotel from the magazine

what we will need
is a gleaming key
made of ice as well
by the finest ice machine

its there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers

its the past when the passerbys laughed
at your strange way of speaking
your batteries leaking
oh no

oh god no
they dont know
the new zero

oh god no
they dont know
the new zero

uniforms worn,
so leisurely
the reindeer skins
the privacy

how was he born?
he's asking me
flapping his fins
very impressively

its there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers

its the past when the passerbys laughed
at your strange way of speaking
your batteries leaking
oh no

oh god no (he has agreed)
they dont know (to take me)
the new zero (to the ice hotel)

i really dont care and neither does he
if this hotel melts into the sea
polished and so rarer, this way that we see
the coldness helps, its our favorite remedy

it is there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers

its the past when the passerbys laughed
at your strange way of speaking
your batteries leaking, oh no!

oh god no (he has agreed)
they dont know (to take me)
the new zero (the ice hotel)

Rose K. (02:48)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
She doesn't know the man
Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand.
She just looks out to sea.
He's talking endlessly.

Oh, why won't he shutup?
I take my medicine
I crush the paper cup.
Oh, maybe he's my son
And he's come to set me free.

She knows that she forgot
That there's a story and she
Can't recall the plot.
Of course her family fought
Over the furniture.

Oh, I don't know why they
Have taken all my favorite things away
But one thing is for sure
I don't know what they were.

They say a stone is a marker
And that it has weight.
The say it's solid
But it can deteriorate.

The air is like a hand
Reminding her of all the things she's
planned.
Like air the thought is gone
never to come again.

We came out to the beach
To find the mind I've lost and cannot reach.
I used to keep it here.
It was much cleaner then.

They say a rose is a flower
and that it is red.
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
And then it is dead.

They say a stone is a marker
and that it has weight.
They say it's solid
But it can deteriorate.

They say a rose is a flower
and that it is red.
It blooms, it grows,
And then it is dead.

Oh, Rose Kennedy.

Sign of the Zodiac (03:47)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
Do you believe in the Signs of the Zodiac?
Haven't you found that the systems for
Planning always fail?
Can you avoid what gave Daddy
his heart attack?
Have you tried everything, anything,
All to no avail?

I know what you need.
This will really work.
In ancient times, if you were sick,
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.

Look all around you and notice
you're not alone.
We want to give you the courage to
Go a different way.
Think of the love and attention
we all have shown.
What did we do when we heard, well, we
All came right away.

I know what you need.
This will really work.
In ancient times, if you were sick
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.

Things I'm Gonna Do (03:13)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
Things I'm Gonna Do:

AGAINST THE LAW TO TALK ABOUT THE
ROCKET IN THE PARK I SEND IT
OFF TO BE EXAMINED BY A
SCIENTIFIC TEAM
ON THE MOON, ON THE MOON
ON THE MOON, ON THE MOON

I ORGANIZE A COUNCIL WHERE THE
PRIZE GOES UNANNOUNCED UNTIL THERE'S
IN THE TREES A CITY, JUST SOME
LEAVES WE LEFT IT PRETTY
LONG AGO, LONG AGO
LONG AGO, OH SO LONG AGO

I HAVE HALF A MIND, IT'S CRACKED AND BREAKING
IT'S RECOMMENDED AS GREAT FOR TASTING
SPIT IN THE FACE OF A TRIED, AND TRUE ONE
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DO

MY CAVE IS LIT WITH TINY LIGHTS
I CLIMB THE STAIRS AND CATCH THE SIGHTS
OF OTHER PEOPLE FAR BELOW
I'VE HEARD OF THEM, THEY THINK THEY KNOW
I MAKE NO FRIENDS, I'VE GOT NO SPARK
IN MY DEFENSE, I TAKE APART
WHATS' PUT TOGETHER EASILY
THIS IS ALL TRUE
I'LL MAKE IT BE

EVERYDAY, LIKE JESUS HE'S NOT
UP THERE HE CAN'T SEE US MAYBE
EYES UPLIFTED SLOWLY FOR AFFECT
THE LAND BELOW ME
FAR AWAY, FAR AWAY
FAR AWAY, OH SO FAR AWAY

I HAVE HALF A MIND, IT'S CRACKED AND BREAKING
IT'S RECOMMENDED AS GREAT FOR TASTING
SPIT IN THE FACE OF A TRIED, AND TRUE ONE
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DO

I MAKE NO FRIENDS, I'VE GOT NO SPARK
IN MY DEFENSE, I TAKE APART
WHATS' PUT TOGETHER EASILY
THIS IS ALL TRUE
I'LL MAKE IT BE

I HAVE HALF A MIND, IT'S CRACKED AND BREAKING
IT'S RECOMMENDED AS GREAT FOR TASTING
SPIT IN THE FACE OF A TRIED, AND TRUE ONE
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DO

Diamond Mind (01:11)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
I want a diamond, I really do I think that you should give me one Then you can prove your love is true And that the gift giving has just begun I want that diamond, I want that thing A tennis bracelet, a ring It better shine, it better cut I know it is expensive but... What other way can you make four months of your measely salary last a lifetime And what other thing have I ever asked you for Besides... The ability to read my mind And I didn't get that either, Yet I want that diamond, I want it so All of my irritating friends will know That I have worth, not only that But that you love me even though I'm fat I want that thing, I want it now I'll say it once, I don't care how you get it You can rob a store, There just is nothing I want more Than diamond jewelry for me And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me! Even some little stud earrings Give me the goddamned diamond!

Watch T.V. (05:39)
Rasputina • How We Quit the Forest
I'm the lucky one
Always having fun.
I tie back my hair.

I sit and watch T. V.
I see only me,
Though I look for you there.

Oh, where have you gone?
Were you canceled?
I change to channel 2.
You were the one
Who gave me all my answers.
I changed
So did you.

Try another show.
With the volume low.
I make up what they say.
Where it used to be your face
Is an empty space
Your co-stars look away.

Oh, where have you gone
And do you miss me
And what we used to do?
You were the one
Who'd talk and smile for half an hour
Always new.

I'm the lucky one.
I watch a re-run.
It looks a lot like you.

One star lost a family
One family lost a star.
That's why I wait and watch
To find out where you are.

One family lost a star.
One star, they lost their family.
That's why I sit at home alone
And Watch T. V.

I can watch forever
I can watch for hours
It just get better
It gives me power
I can watch for hours
I can watch forever
It gives me pleasure
It makes me better

I'm the lucky one.
Always having fun.
