Collected lyrics: assess desires & Make Time

After years of chit-chatting about it, my wife, Diana Lynn Small, & I have begun writing some songs together, combining her angelic voice w/ my weird words, her strumming with my shitty drumming. We're calling the project, Leon Tyner's Antique Horse Blanket; so far, we're six songs in. Each song varies, but typically, it plops out like this: Diana records herself strumming a new tune & singing "dummy lyrics", then I "translate" her sounds into words, before we finally sit down & jam it out together. From time to time, I'll post some of those lyrics here:

ASSESS DESIRES & MAKE TIME 
 
Keep your chin up / you’re electric 
Keep your chin up / you’re electric 
Tune the mattress carry us tonight 
 
In the mornings / you wake angry 
In the mornings / you wake angry
Surely we’ll use your lava pies tonight 
 
Mornings are an ancient hole 
But you can get out my boy 
& when you do reach my heart 
We get so high
 
When you’re drooling / you’re an angel 
When you’re drooling / you’re an angel 
Fuel yourself for fragrant heat tonight 
 
Learning / on the mattress 
We’re learning / on the mattress 
Pulling for making good time tonight 
 
We’ve always been the worst 
At taking chance for whispers 
& I was hoping to lay down  
On the fire 
 
Keep your chin up / you’re electric 
Keep your chin up / you’re electric 
Tune the mattress carry us tonight
