Well,does anyone know where I can find them?  ???

Or are they elusive like a few of their others?

The lyrics for the entire 'Chocolate and Ice' EP are unfindable, alas. And they're damn hard to figure out yourself, as you might've discovered yourself, so we'll probably never know.

Something like.. from my memory

The get up early in the morning
________ way before the son.
With flowing life the city bustles
And to it grins for every one

They carry lil Jim to Xavier
take him slowly(?) to the ______
And in my eyes they show the lovieness
That brings me back to you some_______

Sooner or later they come to see you
And feed you power in the early sun.
For all your days they keep you moving
As quick as lightening they'll be gone.

I know the _____ is wide and _______
I know the _____ is lots of fun
I know
To prove its true I'll tell everyone

Sooner or later I come to see you
feel your power in the early sun
For all your days I wish you blindness
To all the evil in the world

Oh

Sooner or later they come to see you
And feel your power in the early sun

Well,this is how it sounds to me... :)

Start out early in the mornin'
Get up way before the sun
With flowin' lights the city bussles
a two way blinks for everyone

Took your lil Jim to Xavier
You take him slowly to the show
In my eyes they show the lovliness
That brings me back to you so much

Sooner or later they come to see you
And feel your power in the early sun
For all your days they keep you movin'
Quick as lightenin' they'll be gone

I know the soul needs wined and kindness
I know the eye needs lots of fun
I know these things will come to save you
To prove it's true I'll tell everyone

Sooner or later I'll come to see you
I'll feel your power in the early sun
For all your days I wish you blindness
From all the evil in the world.


I hope this is close, but I haven't been able to aquire a copy of the lyrics in written form either.  Let us know if you come across one. ;)
