Lyrics:
Let's go
Where the moon hangs low
And let's dance
to the music from that crummy little band
'Cause you're the sweetest flower
On the sweetest tree
Spend all summer hiding from the bees
I see apples when I look at your eyes
Sweet green apples
And I’m falling in love another time
For goodness sake my heart has lost its mind
Love
It ain't
Riddles and rhymes
No, it speaks to me
Crystalline
And it tears up everything that I've designed
And leads me down a lane of trumpet vines
For goodness sake my heart has lost its mind

The Night is Young
04:59
|

|
Lyrics:
Lightening bolts light up the sky
A black black shadow flashes by before me
Thunder claps peel back the night
I count the seconds
Oh my, this one's coming for me
I’m waiting on a new day to come
'Cause a stormy heart calms in the sun
But I know this night is young
Darkness takes away my sight
But I can feel the world outside
And, oh man, it's reeling
Trouble visits me at night
So I hide my dreams way up high
In that old ceiling
A restless tune finds my tongue
As the patient moon softly beats the drum
But I know the night is young
I've been waiting all my lonely life for this
This quietness
And I never saw why anyone would ever need any more than this
As I give you one last little kiss
But I know the night is young

Lyrics:
The babies have grown
Yeah they’re off on their own
And these days they just call when they’re broke
And we're losing our sense
And honey it seems like the end
Has come a bit faster than we'd hoped
So here we sit
I guess this is it
Watching the world burn down on TV
But if you still feel like dancing
I do too
One by one
The long black cars they come
And take all our old friends away
Honey, I don’t know
Where the hell the go
Or when they’ll be coming for me
Don’t ask me my dear
If my heart's filled with fear
I probably wouldn’t hear you anyway
But if you still feel like dancing
I do too

Cursed
01:46

|
Lyrics:
Well, maybe I'm cursed
Or doomed or damned or worse
But I feel so sad and I feel so bad and I don’t know which came first
Sure, I might shake my ass when they blow the old trombone
But no matter what they say, I know I’m all alone
Well I've seen some things
Been the guest of queens and kings
Sailed the seven seas
Fought a dragon to his knees
But no pleasure did it bring
Sometimes I get so blue I feel like gettin' sick
So if that savior’s coming
I hope he gets here quick
And when I die
Lay a red rose on my chest
Let the Holy Ghost and the heavenly host take care of all the rest
'Cause I bet that Lord above’s got something up his sleeve
I never prayed too much but I always did believe

The Weight of the World
02:29
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Well I know the weight of the world
Like I know the faces of my four little baby girls
And I’ve seen the man in the moon
'Cause he comforts me each night
As I lie awake in my room
As I go searching through my soul
To find the hole
Where the trouble get in
My faith has lost its hold
But Lordy, my heart
Has lost its way again
So as I watch those clouds roll across the plains
I'm ready for a good rain
Yeah, as I watch those clouds roll across the plains
I'm on my knees again

Old as Hell Blues
03:32
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Oh well
I'm old as hell
Supposed to be wiser
But I can't Tell
My life's been a cherry pie
But I'd like a couple more years before I say goodbye
A couple more stormy
Sunday mornings
Eating bacon and eggs
With my old girl with the silver curls
And long long shines legs
So here's my prayer to the man upstairs

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat.
