I talk to you You talk to me Can't you hear me Can't you hear me Who cares 'bout you Who cares 'bout me As long as you can keep it very short Let me talk Listen to me Hold it for my monologue Cry for me Laugh for me Excite for me This is my life you see Who cares Who cares Imagine the world Love the burger I ate Cheer for my new brocade Adore my son who's named Ray Never miss my birthday Remember my dog's age Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff

This is not Rock 'n Roll This is Marshmellow Emily, you don't know how this is meant to me I've been searching for this feeling All these years A perfect sensation that enlightens me It's your generosity The recipe of life Hat's worth tasting Let's immortalized by a song to you, to you Emily…Emily… Emily (Very, very yummy) You don't know what you did but let me tell you you've touched me deeply, deeply, deep, deeply (Yes, Emily… Thank you, Emily..) The taste of life is not too sweet but it makes you want to chew slowly… slowly… slowly This is not Rock 'n Roll This is Marshmellow

Chair With Wheels 02:12
lyrics

When I was a child A very young child I had one fear A very odd fear At hospitals And shopping malls Amusement parks And the big Walmart Chair with wheels Chair with wheels Chair with wheels Two big wheels I went to the zoo Like children do At the peccary shack I had a panic attack Oh where to begin? A guest rolled in I almost died 'Cause he was motorized Motorized Motorized Motorized I closed my eyes The years went by I didn't die I learned about wars And dinosaurs One day I walked by The big blue sign Going to the arcade I had no fright I had no fright I had no fright I had no fright And I felt all right

The rain left behind the European earthworms Surfacing to make their final pleas The Jolly Green Giant and decaying leaves gazebo Ernest I ask you if you'll please Where you gonna hang it? Jump jump jump Max jump jump jump No singing in the rain you're much too old Jump jump jump Max jump jump jump Out of the museum and into the household

Once you start singing you won't stop till you're done You took a lot of abuse from a nasty child But you're still smiling haven't forgotten your song Sankyo, Sankyo, Thank you, Sankyo In the closet on the Shelf out of the Cardboard box You're forgotten but rediscovered Sankyo, Sankyo, Thank you, Sankyo Keep flapping your Wings… You're just a happy little duckling Sankyo, Sankyo, Thank you, Sankyo

Space Bunny 02:21
lyrics

You're in and out of a faceless crowd You wouldn't care about their cleverness You sit around gazing emptiness What an eye What a face Like an alien came from space In the darkness only you could find your place Look at you Shining through Is it the innocence Or confidence There's something about you With your grace Pledge my faith What's your name What's your taste You are a special Bunny from Space… Special…. Bunny from Space… Bunny, Bunny from… Space

Dance Up 02:49

Scream a little louder Show what you can do Lights are all around you your Fans adoring you We want to see you move put on your sparkling suit Your hat and dancing shoes and take us to the Moon…. Never mind what the press said About your face and your hair About the things they don't know much about But my jukebox is playing And your music's staying You're still the star of my neighborhood You lived to save our childhood They want to crush you 'cause *they're feeling broken inside They think they own you 'cause they *can't own themselves But my jukebox is playing And your music's staying You're still the star of my neighborhood You lived to save our childhood

Parkade 02:33
lyrics

I have travelled far to China and the Argentine And I've felt so out of place wherever I have been Driving on Canadian roads is like driving at home It's like something I know Except for the Metric that feels so eccentric And the dashes you cross when you get on the exit Every car every brand every truck every van Everything with a wheel is in the parkade Underground all around in the center of the town If your car needs a break go to the parkade If you want to go to the mall And if it's too far to walk You're better off just taking a car Bring along some Canadian dollars They're gold and shiny and ever so clean They beat them U.S. greens When I'm home I often run into the traffic cops But in the BC you will almost never ever get stopped Driving on Canadian roads is so peaceful too no one's trying to shoot you If you're in the way as you're parallel parking, Canadians wait and they won't give you the finger Every car every brand every truck every van Everything with a wheel is in the parkade Underground all around in the center of the town If your car needs a break go to the parkade

Sleeping under the tree woke up by the sun Usually, usually Sand is lifting off the ground A perfect Monday in January, January Wind is thirty knots water's very calm Find a cool spot It's a race with the clock Ride the wave Ditch the boss In the Air I don't care Chase the Wind it's my job the rest will fall in its place Lift me up Every second Grab the chance To be One...

Queen of Horror 03:35

She said, 'A Vampire entered No blood to be found, I was ordered to find some.' 'But nothing could be found, then I realized I have blood in me.' Then she said, ' Don't cry, don't cry, my baby. My story gets better. If you don't want to sleep, I got plenty to keep you awake plenty to keep you awake…' I said, 'I don't want bedtime story. But you just kept giving them to me! Nightmare every night. That's why I wasn't sleeping.' She said, 'Ghost are not scary, my baby. They are usually helpless… helpless. People are far worse… people are far worse…'

about

Cloud No. 3 is a Canadian-American indie rock/folk/electronic duo consisting of cousins Tay and SK Chow. Their first album was composed and recorded in two frantic sessions in Canada and California. Raw, lo-fi and eclectic - the albums has moments of unbridled enthusiasm ("Jump"), quiet nostalgia ("Sankyo") and dark humor ("Queen of Horror"). Oh, and that's their grandmother on the cover.

Originally released in 2009, this album was re-issued on Bandcamp in 2014.
