From Rejoicing in the Hands
I can take my little teeth out and show them a real good time
 * And because my teeth don't bite, I can take them out dancing
 * -This Beard is for Siobhan

Is really insect eyes And each hole in her tongue Is always occupied By the milk of the sun
 * Each strand of her hair
 * -Insect Eyes

From Niño Rojo
Maybe that spider knows something i don't know, 'cause i'm goddamn cold.
 * Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow.

And now you've got a little kid with hooves instead of hands.
 * And hey there little sexy pig, you made it with a man
 * -Little Yellow Spider

and put me on your plate, 'cause you know i taste great.
 * Cook me in your breakfast,

or put me in your wet If you haven't yet.
 * Put me in your dry dreams
 * -At the Hop

From Cripple Crow

 * I heard somebody say that the war ended today, but everybody knows it's going still.
 * -Heard Somebody Say


 * I see so many little boys I wanna marry, I see plenty little kids I've yet to have.
 * Little Boys


 * Now if I lived in my land, which I do, if I lived in Iceland, if I lived in Greensland I'd still have Chinese children, but out of my ears my little grey baby hears.
 * -Chinese Children


 * Cripple crow say something for our grieving, where do we go once we start leaving. Well close that wound or else keep on bleeding and change your tune, it's got no meaning.
 * -Cripple Crow
