1.
It's a long way back to Oklahoma where the summer burns like Vulcan's fire Where the rivers vanish into vapor And the vultures circle in the sky It's a long way back to Oklahoma Where the willow trees wither and die Where the warblers cough with dust-choked windpipes And my lover lingers like lupine Linger like lupine in the summertime It's a long way back from California Where the sea carves my bones like cliffsides Where the orchards swell so voluptuously And my lover lingers in my mind Linger like lupine For the last time, I don't want to leave you alone Where the rattlesnakes grow And the rivers don't flow I don't want to leave you alone Where the ravages roll Over barren soil

Grandma Spider cast your psilocybin signals straight into my mind (straight into my supine mind) Shakti spin your sacred sparkling spiral swirls all up and down my spine (up and down my moonlight spine) Aphrodite pour some wine so I can taste your blood it's so divine (so divine I lose my mind) Mother vine blast me into the cosmos orbiting between my eyes (right between my lupine eyes) The Goddess enigmatic has arrived (she's a firefly) Glittering, prismatic and sublime (she's a mile high) Mythical, ecliptic, and entwined (she's electric light) Eloquent, ecstatic, I'm tongue-tied (she's so superfly)

The stars are shivering tonight, anticipating our arrival. We'll take a sip of that soul vine, shed our skin and become dragonflies. We'll set our sights to satellites. The Pleiades are looking mighty fine. And when a tree grows, it casts a shadow to remind you. And when the moon glows, it casts a shadow to remind you. And when we come back down to earth, we'll plant our feet into the dirt. We'll watch our skin become wooden, and feel our fingers become leaves and limbs. The moss grows covering our eyes. The birds build homes in our branches. We'll cast our shadows from this hill until the continents collide.
4.
Larkishly you levitated me into the sun (lazy old sun). Suddenly we're spiraling upstream, sparkling and spun (coming undone). Languidly you led me to a place where feathers grow birds and shadows cast trees. Suddenly we're floating in the sea, blissfully so oblivious. Oceans will evaporate and mountains will crumble away, but there's one thing that never goes away. Centuries will fade away and planets will disintegrate, but there's one thing that never goes away. Luckily you lingered in my dreams, oceanic dreams, tangled in seaweed. Suddenly we're spiraling downstream. I'm in a canoe, falling in love with you.
5.
When you sleep, I will sleep. When you spin, I will spin. When you sip, I will sip. When you drip, I will drip. When you flip, I will flip. When you trip, I will trip.

about

An EP of recently unearthed acoustic versions from the 2012 album "Shadows Casting Trees." We intended to release these as B-sides for singles from Shadows Casting Trees, but the years passed by and they were forgotten.
