바람이 불어오든
빗줄기 아래든
너는 지지 않는다
목마름에 지쳐
넘어질뻔도 한데
오히려 꽃을 피운다
해가 내리찌면 내리찔수록
넌 강해져만 간다
어려움속에 도를 닦는다
해가 내리찌면 내리찔수록
가시돋는 외로움에
무너질뻔한도 한데
오히려 넌 꽃을 피운다
해가 내리찌면 내리찔수록
넌 강해져만 간다
어려움속에 도를 닦는다
해가 내리찌면 내리찔수록
에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야
에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야
에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 어이 여차
에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야
에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야
에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야, 에헤야디야
선인장아
불탄 사막에 넌
물보다 더 귀한 선생이니라
쓰러지지 않고 꽃을 피우는 너에게서
나는 배운다
Even in a windstorm
Even in a monsoon
You don’t surrender
In gruesome thirst
It's only reasonable that you collapse
Instead you birth a flower
The stronger the sun glares
The stronger you grow
In hardship, you hone your craft
As the sun glares stronger
In your prickly loneliness
It's only reasonable that you collapse
Instead you birth a flower
The stronger the sun glares
The stronger you grow
In hardship, you hone your craft
As the sun glares stronger
Eh-he-ya-di-ya, Eh-he-ya-di-ya, Eh-he-ya-di-ya, Eh-he-ya-di-ya
Dear cactus,
In a torched desert, you are
A teacher more valuable than water
From you that blooms a flower in lieu of collapsing
I learn

Fluid
04:21

Why is everything all fluid?
Like thighs and souls
Perhaps this is fat, fat makes things roll
Like alcohol lubricates
Like oil smoothens
Why is everything all fluid?
And ought a soul be lubricated?
Can two souls meet
And smoothen each other out?
Slide through life's highs and lows
And round each other out?
To roll together
To swim together
To keep on sailing together
Why is everything all fluid?
Like thighs and souls
Perhaps this is fat, fat makes things roll
Like alcohol lubricates
Like oil smoothens
And ought a soul be lubricated?
Can two souls meet
And smoothen each other out?
Slide through life's highs and lows
And round each other out?
To roll together
To swim together
To keep on sailing together

Blue Cotton Dress

When I saw you in that blue cotton dress
I said to myself "now I'll never get no rest"
'Cause I'll be up till dawn
Writing a song
About the girl in the blue cotton dress
When you saw me with mean old Joan Marie
You gave her one look that scared her right on up a tree
Then it was you and I
And all the world's time
To make the thing most worth leaving behind
So we got hitched on the Las Vegas strip
You found a hot slot, pulled the arm and struck it rich
And we were set for life
Without a problem in sight
And we could have all the things we desired
We bought a brand new automobile
The fanciest house up in Beverly Hills
With a wardrobe full
Of satin and gold
From Italian designers we know
When the taxman came to collect his dues
We spent our last dime on a case of the blues
Poured it down the drain
With flat pink champagne
Left with nothing but the clothes on our backs
Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's back to work we go
But I ain't coming in on a Saturday no more
'Cause I'll be up till late
Out on a date
With the girl in the blue cotton dress

Keep It Clean
01:13
|
|||
|
Clean and clean and clean and clean
Until it gleams, child
Until it gleams
Mother Nature lives out there
And she is not so clean, I fear
She will eat her first born son
Be he not so quick to run
So clean and clean, my only kin
And do not let the jungle in

Corner
04:50
|
|||
|
A shadow in my eye
Reminds me of the times you put me in the corner
As much as I wish you hadn't
It reminds me that it's part of me I must overcome
You were alone
And afraid
I get it, I get that way too
From you, I will learn to be strong
You held me in your arms so tight
You let my wings fly away from the corner
You wished so bad your past
Would not repeat itself like you in the corner
You were alone
And afraid
I get it, I get that way too
From you, I will learn to strong
From you, I will learn unconditional love
I will learn, from you
To be strong, to love unconditionally
I'll try
You were alone and afraid
And I get it
I get that way too
So, I'll learn from you
How you taught me, how to be strong

No Workout
03:16
|
|||
|
Forget about
Outside
We've got it all
Here
Tonight I'll be
Your light
So pull the blinds
Tight
Let's stay in the way
No workout today
The TV's in black and white
But we live in the gray
And dream until three
And wake up to pee and see you
Fast asleep next to me

Joo-geul-leh?!
03:02

(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
You say OK as you shovel food into your face
(I like food, food is good!)
Did you even hear what I said?
(Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo)
Hey, hey!
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
You take from a break from your phone to stare at the space
(I like space, space cadet!)
How can you be so brain dead?
(Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo)
Hey, hey!
Sometimes I get the feeling that you’d like to throw an ashtray at my head
But you blow a kiss instead
Joo-geul-leh?!
Inside your cranium, uranium is splitting everyday
(Is it wrong to blame your K-Rage?)
Jook-go-ship-nyah?
Your dirty socks and shirts are all over the floor
(Dirty socks, dirty shirts!)
They ain’t gonna pick themselves up
(Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo)
Hey, hey!
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
You leave your fork in the bowl of rice we share
(I like rice, rice is nice!)
I don’t want your spit in my grub
(Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo)
Hey, no!
Sometimes I get the feeling that you’d like to throw an ashtray at my head
But you blow a kiss instead
A-sshi, Joo-geul-leh?!
I’m pissed at you, you’re pissed at me
We’re pissed at everything we see
But I’ll always be on your team
Mow!

Intertwined
03:24
|
|||
|
Your head is tangled up like mine
We extend the checkout every single time
You sing oldies in the motel shower
(I've looked at love from both sides now)
While I come down from my tantrum
I'm not my mother
(You're not your mother)
You're not my father
(I'm not your father)
You're not your mother
(I'm not my mother)
You're not your father
(I'm not my father)
Your legs are tangled up with mine
Our bed's a hiding place that we can always find
Drift off on pillows full of promises
Say you'll be here tomorrow
I'm not my father
(you're not your father)
You're not your mother
(I'm not my mother)
I'm not your father
(You're not my father)
Your not my mother
(I'm not your mother)
Your heart is tangled up with mine
A new year looms and I'm feeling strangely fine
We dance like everybody's watching us
But we're just here for each other
We are here for each other

Smile and Nod
05:20
|
|||
|
Watch the ones who smile and nod
They're no friends of yours
Those who never tell you no
Won't have your back
When the sunshine's gone
You'll be on your own
Wander while you wonder so
Listen to yourself
You will know which path to take
Even though you'll sometimes go astray
You'll find your way home
Dance among the wolves
How will your tale unfold?
Wander while you wonder so
Listen to yourself
You will know which path to take
Even though you'll sometimes go astray
You'll find your way home
Dance among the wolves
How will your tail unfold?

Too Many Shoes
02:13
|
|||
|
I got too many shoes
Coming out of my ears
Too many shoes
Collected throughout the years
I got shoes for walking
Shoes for hiking
Shoes for running and
Shoes for biking
Shoes for basketball
Too many shoes
Coming out of my ears
Too many shoes
Collected throughout the years
I got shoes for walking
Shoes for hiking
Shoes for running and
Shoes for biking
Shoes for working outside
Shoes for walking indoors
Sometimes they call those slippers
I got sandals and flippers
So many things to put on my feet
While other people can't eat
At least my feet are comfy and clean
And I know you know what I mean
I got shoes on my hands
I got mittens on my feet
I got Adidas for my dogs
Nike's for my cats
Teva's for my goldfish
Whatcha think about that?
Yeah, but I was really hoping to make love to you
But you know, I ain't never seen a love-making shoe, so uh...

The Quiet Smiles Tucson, Arizona
Two lone travelers crossed paths in the dense jungles of Borneo, each carrying a backpack with bandannas and band-aids,
toothbrushes and tattered bus passes alongside tales of hazy Laotian dope utopias and ancient shrines reclaimed by virile mangrove roots.
With an undying wanderlust, The Quiet Smiles make organic music that is soft yet rough, mysterious yet bright, curious yet unwavering.
