Burden Of Man
03:14

I wish I were a light-hearted man, if only for the weekend
I need to let go of the burden, society and The Man
I'd rather be six feet deep than have my mind in the sand
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man
I need to be a working man no longer searching the fields
They say I should let go of the muse, be normal and refuse
I'd rather be six feet deep than let go of her hand
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man
Bury me now I can't survive in the world they've created
Society makes no one free, it's all mind pollution
But still my mind cannot breathe without the money in my hand
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man

When Shadows Bloom
02:58

I looked at the sky, the sun-setted clouds
and out of them came an aeroplane loud
it reached for the stars flew over the moon
and not long after birds flew in swoon
red brick it shone over plants it moved
and under the shadows crept the full moon
a creature crawled, a tip-toe betrayed by the non-nocturnal
where curfew stays
don't be out when shadows bloom
flowers cover their faces from the raccoons
it's a scene for them, liars & thieves
not for you my pretty queen bee
you belong with the sky
clouds aeroplanes high
reaching for the stars
over the moon for me
you belong with the sky
clouds aeroplanes high
reaching for the stars
I'm over the moon for you

Tick Talk
04:01

She puts on her lipstick as she crosses the street
Where she's going, I don't know
Maybe to the mall maybe to a show
She'll be on time
She's looking fine
She's looking outta sight from my balcony
Where I'll go, oh I know, I'm staying here
For the time being
Time is a tick-tock away from now
And I don't wanna tick or talk
They cross the street diagonally
A group of hip-cats parading
Smoking, talking, singing, dancing
It looks like a good time
It looks like a great ol' time
It looks like a good ol' great ol' time from up here
I watch the ashes fall to the street
Where they'll go, I don't know
Maybe to the sewers down below
Maybe to the birds maybe to and fro
They're flying free, they're flying free
They're flying free just like me
I just wanna sit here and walk
In my adventurous mind
I can keep it moving without really moving
As long as the wind blows
As long as the wind is blowing
As long as the wind keeps blowing I can be still

Zef combines '60s-inspired pop with indie rock and binds it
together with a ribbon of folk sentimentality.
