CocoRosie began in Paris, France and formed by Sierra Casady (Rosie) and Bianca Casady (Coco) in 2003. Sierra and Bianca Casady are North American half-Cherokee sisters. Sierra, the older of the two, was born in Iowa, and Bianca was born in Hawaii. Their mother nicknamed them Rosie and Coco, respectively, from which their musical act takes its name.   In 2003, Bianca was growing restless and decided it was time for a change. Leaving her apartment in Brooklyn to travel the world, she ended up at Sierra's apartment in Paris. 

C            Em
I once fell in love with you

     Am
Into blue


C      Em   Am

C                Em       Am
The streets were open and empty
C       Em      Am
No more passion play
C      Em         Am
On St. Nicholas Avenue


C                Em
I believe in St. Nicholas
       F                 Em
It's a different type of Santa Claus    
C                  Am
I believe in Saint Nicholas

Good Friday

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight

Am             C
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
G                                          Am
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick
             C             G
Lose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
Am                  C
River sweep away my memories of
G
Children's things a young mother's love
           C
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
      G
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
Am              C                  G
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
                      Am
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
C
Flowers in the water,
G
But I'm just his daughter
Am              C
Walking down an icy grave
G
leading to my Schizophrenic father.
Am             C
Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
G
Searching for my father's power


Am
I'm a shake you off though
C
Get up on that horse and
G
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse


Am                 C                  G
He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
                                     Am
Wielded darkness when he was wilein' on his mom's
         C                    G
And born child and he was the bastard that broke
                          Am                     C
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
           G
And he was born with the same blue eyes
                            Am            C
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
             G
In the night fireworks electric bright
Am                   C
And now he's got his own two sons
      G
Tried to hide his tears in a world of fun
    Am                C
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
      G
Bring silent heartache July to June
Am         C
Swoon over new young hot flame
G
Mourn the memories later

Laugh now alligator



Am      C
Oh in a dream
   G
My father came to me
    Am      C              G
And made me swear that I'd keep what sacred to me
       Am        C
And if I get the choice
   G
To live in his name
  Am                      C
I pray my way through the Rain
        G
Singing Oh happy day



Am                        C
I don't mean to close the door
            G
But for the record my heart is sore
Am                       C
You blew through me like bullet holes
     G
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul

Am                     C
You left me broke down beggin' for change
       G
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged

He had your hands and my father's face
G
Another western vampire different time same place
Am                C

G
Pain much deep that a river

Sorrow flow through me in tiny waves of shivers
G

Lemonade

G
Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokeness
D
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on
Em
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
D
In the outright abandon of this orphan child
G
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
D
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
Em
And to wake up half empty
           D
Only to be filled again with mourning
        G
He's my evil shadow dove
                        D
My black Palamito Can't break him like a diamond skull
                      Em
I can't seem to do so Can't just rob him out like the
                  D
mob used to do so Like memories of porno and tearstains
              G
and tobacco O its a miny disastro
                        D
Bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs
                             Em
Maybe could live through it, or indians and butterflies
                                 D
What's crushed is my spirit, O I fear it is too fragile
Like fall leaves burn like paper

G             D
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Em
No one would understand me
                 D
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
G                 D
Spend all my time amongst the animals
    Em                                        D
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals


G
Oh I'm just a fill leaf something simple and shy like that
D
That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
Em
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons
D
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul
G
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
D
Perhaps I'm just teel him for a foreign fallen destiny
Em                   D
Miserable but mine I look like his mother
                     G
Or Sophia Loren in a old fashioned movie
                                  D
Slow motion motion I cling to my child desperate for love
Em                                  D
On day soon my brother died made me remember all the

Subordinate feelings I cast aside
G
Maybe I had lied when I said I was ok
D
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
Em
“Wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me 
D
My who eternity”

G             D
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Em
No one would understand me
                 D
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
G                 D
Spend all my time amongst the animals
    Em                                        D
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea

To be amongst the animals

Animals

Am                            F
It was just before the moon hung
Am                     F
Her weary heavy head in
Am                           F
The gallows and the graves of 
Am                    F
The milky milky cradle
Am                                 F
His tears have turned to poppies
Am                      F
A shimmer in the midnight
Am                  F
A flower in the twilight
Am                  F
A flower in the twilight

Chorus:
             Am     C    
And our screaming
             G      Em
Is in his screaming
       Am   C                G        Em
Our screaming in the willow tree.

        Am                    F
They took him to the gallows
     Am                         F
He fought them all the way though
       Am                          F                         
And when they asked us how we knew
     Am      F 
His name
      Am            F
We died just before him
       Am                  F
Our eyes are in the flowers
       Am                    F
Our hands are in the branches
      Am                F
Our voices in the breezes

Chorus:
             Am     C
And our screaming
             G        Em
Is in his screaming
       Am           C        G        Em
Our screaming in the willow tree

         Am                  F
We're waiting by the willow
       Am             F
Our milky milky cradle
       Am                      F
Our lockets long have rusted
      Am                      F
His picture worn and weathered
       Am               F
Our hair is in the garden
       Am              F
The roses in our toeses
       Am                   F
Our heart are in the blossoms
       Am                  F
Our eyes are in the branches

Chorus x2
             Am     C
And our screaming
             G        Em
Is in his screaming
       Am           C        G        Em
Our screaming in the willow tree

Candy Land

C                    Em            
I undressed you with my eyes I have
           G 
Maybe even raped you
G                                Am 
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
Am
I tucked you there
Am
And touched you in a dream last night
           D
Pushed you aside when you entered
D                         C
My thoughts at the wrong time
C             Em   
I have sat up upon your lap and
G
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
        Am  
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
                 D   
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
C         Em                       G
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
        Am
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
D
You may have been one
                         C
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Em                G
Even barer than a child's
    Am                                D
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
D    C         Em               G
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
G
Yearning that stirs
       Am
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
D                              C
Like sap rising or honey or tar

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
