New Thread 03:40
This old garment can't take new thread Full of the old dust and too long in the bed Your line was good but unraveled in my hand This old garment can't take new thread Ooh This old body can't take new clothes I'm tired of the bar scene and tired of the shows I wanna be buried In the field, I'll grow strong as a daisy and sharp as a rose Ooh I'm settling down, I'm settling right I'm giving a fuck, I'm giving a fight This new garment don't take old thread And this new body don't take an old bed You tried to put me out but I caught fire instead 'Cause this new garment don't take old thread

Joy to the world for evil has changed her Joy to the girls and the boys; we all were once babies Oooh Joy to your face; to your dark and your light skin Joy to the place that is safe and you can begin again Oooh Joy to the world with a light that may blind us crawling on our fours in the night God, please change us Oooh

Family 03:04
Dad, you were more than a guide drivin' in and out of sight You gave your time to me to Mom & Joey Mom, you seemed always so strong When you weren't, you'd just play along You threw your paint on the ground Picked it up again somehow Oh, oh You can chose your friends Family's there till the end, oh And it won't last long so spend your time before it's gone Oh, my brother, hold me close You know more than most others know Now ya live right down the road and I'm wonderin' how long has it been How long has it been? How long has it been?

Return Begin 03:22
Another day I wake up your mercy true Another me but always you Return, return Begin, begin Every morn, every evening' Repent, repent Begin again I won't repeat all of last year's sins Say the moment, stitch the hour onto my absent brow Stay the quiet, whisper light upon my windowsill Thank you for your query, I am weary at the floor But I'd rather stay home and wait it out for return return, begin begin

Put Right 04:11
Sometimes on a Saturday we'll take the green line to the dancin' place We forget we're dancers Other times we stick out our faces With our shoulders we break up the spaces We forget we're vampires Once our feet are put right the rest of we will follow Once our feet are put right the rest of we will follow Dear you I wrote a goodbye on a red ballon neath a pink sky We forget we're lovers To be true to set aside the bloody daggers that our pockets hide We will remember we're lovers Once our feet are put right the rest of we will follow Once our feet are put right the rest of we will follow Once my feet are put right the rest of me will follow

about

In the busy-ness of this last year
we wrote gentle songs about
the back and forthness of breaking, lacing up,
and remaking of our hearts

We're also out of money, and need help with the finishing up of this cd release!

And so we offer a small ep, available for purchase,
and a reminder that we were all once babies

Love,
Eustace the Dragon
