Luminary 03:33
Artichoke, you're a soldier with your armor green, tender heart, you're a soldier with your armor green, I see right through but I can't think of why you'd be hiding behind those leaves, hiding behind those leaves. Tiger striped, you're an animal so fierce and tall, gentle eyes are a window through the fortress wall, window through the leaves, window through the leaves, window through the fortress wall. Gentle friend, I am puzzled by these games with you, illusion, let me have a taste of the green truth. Artichoke, you're a soldier with your armor green, tender heart, you're a soldier with your armor green, I see right through but I can't think of why you'd be hiding behind those leaves, hiding behind those leaves.

Overboard 05:33
Whisper, whisper shrill, so sharp and cold sailors rocking in the sheltered hold, you wake up from a dream of whooping cranes and ships with wings, With timeless rhythm you are washed with light, eardrums, pupils fight the sweet invite escaping into a dream of nimbus clouds on yoyo strings Is it overboard to say, "don't tempt me I will crash if I stray!" if your sweet lips sing no words, I'll die from the silence heard. aaaaaahhh aaaaahhhh Whisper, whisper wind, a buoyant plea mist like drapes blankets the swelling seas, you wake up from a dream of whooping cranes and ships with wings

Lady Madonna 04:11
Lady Madonna, children at your feet wonder how you manage to make ends meet who finds the money when you pay the rent did the say that money was heaven sent did they tell you money was heaven sent Lady Madonna, laying on the bed, listen to the music playing in your head.

Palm Song 03:48
Your palm is a landscape with hills and valleys and people live there with gladness in their hearts My hands are a god's hands and I run my fingertips across the pine tree tops and through the streams Your palm is a peach I picked because it's soft and when I take a bite on top of the next hill I savor the strange sweetness and closeness of you
