The Otts: She won't tell me titles. She won't tell me titles.

2'49

I Opened the window today...

But she won't tell me what she was thinking,
Who she thought she was playing with,
and I don't know, when it comes to titles and words
she won't tell me. But she sings very nice.


The Otts: Mitosis Mitosis

1'59

Somewhere in my body, two cells are dividing: from one comes two.
And I didn't see it coming, though it happens every day
in some sick internal way.
So call the fire department, I'm jumping out this window just to get away.
On one hand it's you, dear, on the other hand it's me here,
and you're the one who went away. So come home, and see me change.
Enter fake hypnosis, a cellular mitosis.
Don't choke on life, it's not loss if a cell divides in two.


The Steel City Nocturne

1'58

Why do you cry like a child? I've got no eyes
but I can still see. Fortune brings hope for awhile,
but in the end everything leaves.
Take a breath, you'll lose yourself.
Come, take a sip of my rum.
It's a cold, cold night, my body's warm as a gun.
I'm dangerous, but you might have fun.


The So Close

4'00

There's a nice man in the parlor, eating bread and drinking the water,
and I know he's here for me, but it's you I want to see.
It's amazing how having the wrong one beside you
can make you aware of who you wish was there...
I still think about you, and I will dream about you
while he's standing there.


The now what

1'41

I dreamed that I was dreaming, I dreamed about you.
and everywhere I go everyone I meet everything I see
reminds me of that dream. I was a phoenix wearing blue and gold pearls
made from my own hands, the whole world involved in 22 dimensions.
I know this is really happening, this is life as we know it,
and now what?
