Lady Lamb The Beekeeper performs "Up In The Rafters" a capella in her practice space.
Bart & Greg's DVD Explosion song sessions.

I want to love you like the monster loves the flower
Disarming as a bird flying backwards
My heart is a pomegranate
How long have I ached for my hands on your stomach?
I want to love you like the monster loves the flower:
Tenderly.
I want to know you like the clock knows the hour
I want to see you with both my eyes forward
In the fields of rye and up in the rafters:
Hungrily.
And oh, to know the nape of your neck
It would be the length of my whole self
To swoon if for to stretch beneath a fleshy ground:
Peacefully.
Into a blood red sea, in the wax of a whale
Meet me down there, deep down
Where I am dark and paled
The longing I inherit, how it makes me shameful
This armor how I wear it til I can no longer
and all the while in your blue so sallow
As bitter as the snake who craftily crallows
On the cracked tongue of the quake in the shadows:
Silently.
I am a ribcage, I'm a sailor, I'm an arrow
I am a monster on the wings of a blind sparrow
And I want to touch you like the seed touches the soil
I want to hold you like the milk holds the spoil
Cling to me
Sing to me
And what of this cacophonous, these broken strings?
And what of this, the blood red kiss, the beast in the sea?
I'll hush it now and I will sing it sounds to put it to sleep
and leave it there without a care that it might know a dream.
