claire de lune claire de lune The bruises sting, I’m bleeding babe, why can’t you see the blood is on my face, and I’m in agony I don’t know why you’re angry, but I’m so sorry you realize you’re wrong and I’m a bit relieved Au claire de lune, are you having fun? Au claire de lune, are you on the run? Au claire de lune, i’ll be leavin’ soon Au claire de lune. This desert’s awfully breezy and the dune’s stretch miles standing in oasis is an only child her clothes are old and ragged but her nails are filed her skin it rots and withers but her hair is styled Claire de lune, are you having fun? Au claire de lune, are you on the run? Au claire de lune, i’ll be leavin’ soon Au claire de lune. You roll in like a cyclone tearing up the land the sky is filled with dust a city choked by sand my hand extends to touch you but you break the plan Though my lungs they burn the inquisition stands Au claire de lune, are you having fun? Au claire de lune, are you on the run? Au claire de lune, i’ll be leavin’ soon Au claire de lune. Everything you said to me was incomplete My mind’s made up, I’m gonna leave Au claire de lune, are you having fun? Au claire de lune, are you on the run? Au claire de lune, i’ll be leavin’ soon Au claire de lune. claire de lune claire de lune claire de lune claire de lune

it began many years ago a man named crotchety powns all he wanted was to put on a show now he’s left alone he’s lost his planet home crotchety got nowhere left to go he pushes into space but memories always stay his old planet has just been destroyed spies a little ball floating in abyssal maw the planet earth is lookin’ mighty fine crotchety powns he lives all alone a drifting in space needs to find a new home crashes through the atmosphere the sky’s so very clear the clouds are white and the water’s blue hits the frozen ground in a small northwestern town crotchety doesn’t know what to do crotchety powns he lives all alone crashed down to earth still needs to find a new home he walks into town the place is quite rundown he spies a small saloon and proceeds to enter a woman there blue eyes and golden hair asks crotchety to sit front and center crotchety powns may have found a new home with the girl of dreams then his mind starts to roam oh poor crotchety stuck living life as different he’ll never be the same as any human race and Crotchety Powns will forever be alone even if he finds a place to call his own he boards his ship once more and sets his target for the gaping void that is outer space on his own again never made a single friend and he’ll never realize why that it is crotchety powns he lives all alone back drifting in space he needs to find a new home

Run Away 02:44
Today I sail a freighter ship just my thoughts and me it’s peaceful to be drifting here but I get so lonely I spy a girl out on the pier she’s looking kind of lost I stare her strongly in the eyes and give it my best shot she tells me she’s a wanderer adrift without a home well if you wanna stay with me we’ll never be alone I say come on, hurry run away with me we can sail to a place where no one has been just us, out on the sea oh baby won’t you run away with me. No she coyly nods to me a teased look in her eye you really can’t be serious now can we say goodbye I said come on, hurry run away with me we can sail to a place where no one has been just us, out on the sea oh baby won’t you run away with me. And if you decline this invitation I’ll take my time and find a better replacement But if you follow, I promise it will be A trip you won’t forget, now baby run with me I take her hand and hold her close We voyage out to the sea The water’s large in breadth and scope My girl is finally free I said come on, hurry run away with me we can sail to a place where no one has been just us, out on the sea oh baby won’t you run away with me. Our loneliness has ceased.

No one can tell you what store to shop in but advertisers sure try I know it seems like you’re being controlled baby but control is just a lie you can raise yourself, however you want to baby throw your hands to the sky you can raise yourself however you need to honey and it’s just part of life Our relationship is taxing on on us that doesn’t mean you should cry your tears won’t make me feel pity o won’t you let your eyes dry you can raise yourself, however you want to baby throw your hands to the sky you can raise yourself however you need to honey and it’s just part of life once you leave the nest you’re out on your own no one can dictate what you do a brand new life is waiting for you I just want to tell you how much I love you I never wanna let you go but if you wanna leave me honey who am I to tell you no? you can raise yourself, however you want to baby throw your hands to the sky you can raise yourself however you need to honey and it’s just part of life You’re your own parent now.

In a crowd they talk so loud but you can’t join no you feel trapped out there A girl strolls down the side of the corridor her eyes glow bright green in the darkness her skin is pale she looks like an angel be mine talk to me and you will see I’m not a creep though I’m not like the others the girl glances my way and raises her hand I prepare to speak her friend waves back from right behind me again we’ll never meet out on the street the social norms will not bring us together talk to me and you will see the walls put up are an insane illusion we can break free say hi to me before you leave and you’re gone forever Help me escape from this floating wilderness

Your eyes glow like diamonds and your body is the rain since the day you left here your name’s played in my brain I walk into the kitchen hoping to make some eggs my mind’s overloaded I go to lay down instead every time I see your door I’m reminded of you Why is it you didn’t stay and will we ever renew? I drink and ounce of yager trying to feel all right maybe if I down this bottle I can finally get through the night every time I see your door I’m reminded of you Why is it you didn’t stay and will we ever renew? well my bed’s messed up and my mind is fried if you treat me right I might not die inside hooo every time I see your door I’m reminded of you Why is it you didn’t stay and will we ever renew? and will you say “I do?”

Sittin at home bored as can be I Hear some loud music playin’ in the street I Wanna see what’s goin’ on and meet new friends I walk outside and I feel like partying Patron and Grey Goose with a handle of gin Playin’ beer pong let the good times begin I wonder if they know what we’re partying for As if it really matters while you’re falling to the floor homework’s well and good but when the week gets through come on over babe I wanna celebrate with you It’s the weekend, I wanna party It’s the weekend, I wanna party It’s the weekend, I wanna party It’s the weekend, I wanna party Girls all dance around while the music plays I drink a couple more and I’m feelin’ pretty dazed the room it starts to spin but I’m standing fine I see you in the crowd and your body’s so divine homework’s well and good but when the week gets through come on over babe I wanna celebrate with you It’s the weekend, I wanna party I'm alright now, let's get it started It’s the weekend, I wanna party I'm on cloud nine, let's get it started Hey, it’s party time, everyone I know is enjoying their night and If, you treat me right, we’ll be going home Now we’re Ten shots in, I’m feelin’ fine Put your lips right next to mine if you keep on playin’ and doing what you do girl after tonight I’m getting married to you <intro> Back at the dorms hangin’ with my friends Wondering if you’re comin’ back again I feel the same urge come over me I grab some beers and take to the street the party’s just begun and you know what to do come on over babe I wanna celebrate with you It’s the weekend, I wanna party It’s the weekend, I wanna party It’s the weekend, I wanna party It’s the weekend, I wanna party Now <cymbals>

Life 03:51
Back in kindergarten life was good all my friends were there playin’ in the sandbox with little toy cars we lived without a care Friends they come and go and women come and go and life is going by too fast and time is ticking on and I’ll be dead before too long and why don’t the good times last? now I’m grown and relationships stall I’ve had my share of scars it’s all too much for me sometimes It stretches back too far Friends they come and go and women come and go and life is going by too fast and time is ticking on and I’ll be dead before too long and why don’t the good times last? I want to reverse time and relive every day of coloring books and crayons and chillin in third grade I know people are good but my back’s to the fence Why’s life so hard to figure out? When will it all make sense? I know I’ll find someone for that I have no doubt a girl to love me close while I search for a way out Now we’re sittin’ in your bedroom and I feel you tumor grow friends they come and go and women come and go and life is going by too fast and time is ticking on and I’ll be dead before too long and why don’t the good times last? friends they come and go and women come and go and life is going by too fast and time is ticking on and I’ll be dead before too long and why don’t the good times last? friends they come and go and women come and go and life is going by too fast

about

The Floating Wilderness is the bubble each of us exists in as we pass one another in a crowd.

All of us are technically on the same plane, yet we can’t connect because we’re trapped in this sphere.

We're trapped in a Floating Wilderness.
