Ojo Ngoyo
And the rain was falling as aku ngebel, hpmu muni ora?
I never thought the expectations would
lebih the state of your heart and
trickling kereta, watering pain
mandheg neng tengah dalan koyo wong edan
and the resiko of your care for me
cannot be made to paham bahwa
wong yen lagi gandrung are made to shift like the sand
pasir of time, dia semakin ucul and
never make way for dhe'e cause he's only a fool and
Ooo...ojo ngoyo
with your pushing and your killing I said
ojo ngoyo
forget the radio I said
ojo ngoyo
Bojomu's putting on her makeup in her kamar dhewe
wajahku ditutup pakai orange colored paint and
kanvasmu sobek like a trickling train wreck
the body of my best friend hanya sampai Sragen and
Ooo...ojo ngoyo
with your pushing, your pushing and your killing I said
ojo ngoyo
forget it, forget the radio I said
ojo ngoyo

Shepherd Baik
Find the path of the shepherd baik, mountain ranges kelihatan
little laki-laki with a cowslip supaya
his candle paman lights on, so laris oh
dalam his carriage kowe nemu crystal cilik
sarung sate, smoke sembunyi
in the folding of the fabric, a masjid tartan
an open poso, anyar feeling
Beautiful neighbors, beautiful country
cium tangan, free your country
petamu, trace the blue of your blooding
merak ati, a shepherd's destiny
oh beautiful, beautiful destiny
A little brush with alam semesta
ganti rasa, ganti reschleting
electric circles, meeting meeting, oh wancine tiba
sak donya neng gulu iki
and singing a shepherdess song for everybody
Banyu di bakar with his money
kraton of disclarity, declare your peace
lose the need for keadilan but discovery brings
sandhang kalawan pangan
beautiful country, beautiful destiny

Gulaku
The Sumatran fields of sugar cane as green as your jealousy
will whiten in their final state like the fabric of your jilbab
a shifting fire is nestling in the hollows of your bitter heart
your eyes are vividly flashing like the cameras when I'm onstage
Is this your idea of ecstasy a sugar daddy and a big white car
your shallowness mortifies me, satisfaction unraveling
and the owner turns to kindness when he kicks his dog out from the dog
oh queen, you dusted rusted highness
is this the cream you've been waiting for
the moth cannot help himself, he cremates against the light
I watch you try to buy and sell your affection like a fat cigar
you think you've won them over , their money for your gold flesh
but you're the one who suffers, lips never tasting the sting of love
and you envy the attention and the beauty and grace given to me
but the mirror shows your hearts reflection
poor you, poor lady, poor sugar daddy
poor you, poor lady, poor sugar daddy

Holy Raven

Holy Raven
The holy raven, black ribbons decorating her dresser like baby bunting
Mangoes and berries, swimming in a pool of fragrant cream
Lutheran sister tapping on my door, sliding glass into the laundry room
Where I stand folding, shredded bits of the scarlet calvary
And a blessed angel came to find me on a flying broom
and she was saying, if you can smell the rosy water, then so can we
But the grip of her holy hand was sieving the drift of the powdering sand and
counting time and saving souls, she escaped me, me
Fathers and daughters are always the loosing ones in such religions
the winning roles are always blessed with kindly mothers and saving sons
in the priest's garden a spider's dewy web will catch our eyes
while silken architects weave our glowing evenings by
and the sisters came to pray in the chapel of restlessness and they were saying
if you can sow this bitter earth ,then baby so can we
but the hem of a passing nun's wimple caused the pond to shiver and ripple
and their reflections in the water mixed with earth and sea, sea
and the sky the sky the sky the sky the sky
not the carving bird but the water will take to the sky
the sky the sky the sky the sky the sky
not the carving bird
and the sky the sky the sky the sky the sky
not the carving bird but the fish and water will take to the sky
oh, the sky the sky the sky the sky the sky

I fell, I fell and I broke it, I broke it, I broke it, I broke it
My leg and my own heart
Freedom comes in form of love and suffering
Birds and worms can testify
Pennies and Rupiah they spill from my pockets
like a rain of warm money and sex
I know your heart has goodness
I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it
But no window can find me, no lover can save me
I'm not your wife but I want your car
Oh the sweet sound of family, it's ringing in my ears
An impossible dream
Why can't my baby be enough, enough, enough, enough
These pennies and rupiah just don't cut
Let my tongue lick these wounds clean
Wounds that soften, that soften, that soften, that soften, that soften
But where's my golden potion to weld this all together?
I'm not your wife but I want your fucking car
Oh the glitter of the water, can I find it in this hospital?
I have it, I have it, I have it, I have it
Well okay, I'll just get it, I'll get it, I'll get it, I'll get it

House

Build me a fine house, wash out your hair
Hide me in the valley where the water runs clear
I will find a ladder to collapse over this river
A bridge is formed, a taming force, oh
Dreams are made when finally waking up, and remembering
The haunted one that chases you but you escape it
And the high school locker filled with velvet clothes
And your eyes, your eyes peering through it, oh
Snakes and burning houses are not a threat to me
In the depths of my dreams I have no fear
If the river floods our backyard, will you carry me
To the bridge of woven hair?
Write up our wills and leave our basement to the dead
A handsome house awaits us in the morning
Your coffee on the window sill and our children in our beds
Oh the water it saves us from the fire

Mumet
Mesra, mesra, mesra aku couldn't be happier
a baru twisted barnacle melari-melari faster
bagaimana kalau everybody's pacar naik pesawat to India, oh India
oh India
Freedom freedom freedom I tidak pernah boredom
aku angel tenan golek kanca nobody understands me I made
hidup ini urip iki, my brain and my kalbu are always cocok in my
inner batin world, in my batin, my batin ndonyo
best of us best of us best of us
usaha for srepeg solo petalon Yogya oh
I am all alone in this world, I am truly sendiri
dhewe and dhewe and dhewe I can always find my own
if I semedhi in the garden, in the candhi
and I always, I always find waktu for you
sehat and waras and healthy, my awak always capek sekali ooh
sirahku sirahku sirahku sirahku, please protect me
stop the mumet stop the mumet stop the mumet

And the waves calling Sinta
Ngawe-awe samodrane
Come and walk to the edge of the world
Rasah ngobong awakke dhewe
Give it up to the prince who loves you
Artine dudu narimo kae
If you're a woman, you're a Mother to this world
Saben uwong podho wae
Kunthi birthed her warriors in a forest,
Biyen munggah gunung liwat kali
Your attention is strung along the river and she said
Rushing blood of the Mother, mugi lohjinawi
Muster any hidden pushing force inside of you
Saben dino koyo jaran melayu
with their sense of vertical gravity
and the sky is heavy with the milk of the Mother, mego mendung
Oh the milk of the Mother mego mendung
As a child I made puppets from flowers, there was
Banyu bening floating through our canyon
Rocks and carefully planted Joshua trees
Kembang Poppy, kembang Lupine, kembang Camelia
Oh Mugi Rahayu Sagung Dumadi
