At the end of the story
At the started of sun
That's the part that just ruined me
On my own
How I want turns the hungry
How I hope turns a hole
How I feel turns the angry
On my own
So if you wake up before me
If you find you're all wrong
Then is nothing worth holy
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
You try to sleep
'cause there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Inside the dream
You take a step
You come to see
To see your debt
Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep
You stretch your wings
You take a breath
You hide your feet
Embrace your head
A tragedy
No, there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep
You hide you always hide
So deep inside the amethyst mine
The color bleeds and fades to white
What used to be a violent mind
Afraid the things they say
They reach and stranger get their way
Still you choose to take the edge of the room
Oooh time, it pulls out your eyes
It makes you choose between two lifes
So what, you've got that too
You're nobody's stupid girl
well you could always count on your friends to get you high
that's right
and you could always count on the 'rents to get you by
you could fly
and now they make you piss into a plastic cup
and give it up
the cup will probably be here long after we're gone
what's wrong
they'll probably dig it up a thousand years from now
and how
they'll probably wonder what the hell we used it for
and more
this must be the cup the king held every night
as he cried
well maybe you should go out and write your own damn song
Some holy ghost
Keeps me hanging on
Hanging on
Some holy ghost
Keeps me hanging on
Hanging on
I feel the hands
But I don't see anyone
Anyone
I feel the hands
But I don't see anyone
It's there and gone
Feeds my passion for transcendence
Turns my water into wine
Makes me wish I was empty
Now I don't know much
But I can tell when something's wrong
And something's wrong
But some holy ghost
Keeps me
Dream the day
Caught in the sway
Miles gone inside
Into the air
I take a breath
No longer care
To be the death
Even time
We took a light
Songs leaving alive
Into the air
I take a breath
No longer dare
To be the death of you
Of you
So blue
So blue
With you
And into the air
We take a chance
Can no longer bare
To miss the dance
With you
With you
So blue
So blue
With you
With you
So blue
So blue
With you
With you
So blue
So blue
With you
With you
So blue
Clarence White and Josh Muray
I never thought I'd see the day
It hurts to hear but it's so easy to say
Clarence White
I know I shouldn't be afraid
You think it's pretty (oh no)
I am a raging river
I'll cut through your city (oh no)
Just like the destroying angel
The one from the movie (oh no)
The one with Charlton Heston
That used to scare me
But I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid
Here I am just make it stop
I can tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop,
breaking my heart,
get out of the way,
if I could just make it stop.
You see them close to the edge,
I'm at the end of my road
the road is starting the threat,
I'm trying to keep my hold.
You say I'm nothing I'm not
but I'm not what I seem,
get my back off the wall
If I could just make it stop
Chorus:
If I could just make it stop
I can tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop,
breaking my heart,
get out of the way,
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop.
Now I'm looking up from a tempt from a whole
see nothing but blue sky, shining on my soul,
as I enter the court and I'm .not
we could get where I'd go in,
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop
I can tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if I could just make it stop.
When you became my mother, there was time
You thought I'd be a daughter, but didn't mind
And as the world began to measure, and define
We had time
We had time
You gave me light and language, and a name
You held me to the fire, to the flame
Now if I could tell the future, all the same
Why would I
We have time
Deep beneath the surface of the earth
So many bodies waiting for the word
When every child and mother will return
Forever
I'm waiting like a child
Hope runs wild
The truth can hide
Sometimes right behind the sorrow
I see beyond the smile
Cheat and lie
I'm not blind
Suicide still I'll be here tomorrow
Dogs come home
Even the stone finds a place within the hollow
Yeeee
I'm waiting like a child
Hope runs wild
The truth can hide
Sometimes right behind the sorrow
Four score
Even
Alas
You'll tell me your
Fortunes
Taken
The stand
Forsaken
But none forgotten
Borrowed, bought(en)
And so
All in, all out of
Something worth everything
All in, all out of
Everything worth nothing
But none forgotten
Borrowed, bought(en)
light up a cigarette she said
and calm the fuck down
you got a serious side to you
that could give the whole world a frown
now nothin' really matters to me you see
check out these holes in my gown
let your eyes lose their focus a little
let your guard come down
i was thirsty for everything
but water wasn't my style
guess we might have to teach me somethin'
guess we might have to show me how
now put out that cigarette she said
somethin' ain't right in here
it's tied to the both of us, I ain't sure now, it isn't clear
we could have been born helpless children
beggin' for our next meal
I could be a voodoo lady, just a classy hooker
playin' the field
classy holy hooker!!!
hey! I've made up my mind, yeah
I came to see your sign
disappear this mornin' but come back tonight
light up a cigarette she said
and calm the fuck down
relax and let your ears hear this beautiful song
that's hidin' underneath the sound
underneath the sound!!!
I made up my mind
I came to see you fly
disappear this mornin' but come back tonight
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
I was thirsty for everything but blood, wasn't my style!
voodoo lady
did I dream you up or are you for real?
are you for real?
Anyone, caught in your mystery
Keep it angry, keep it whispy
I've fallen down, drunk on your juices
Turn my head
Turn my head
It's aimed at you
Funky temple, your dress is torn to shreds
Your eyes are crazy, I bowed to save my head and
I can't forget you, but I can't remember
Turn my head
Turn my head
It's aimed at you
Turn my head
Turn my head
It's aimed at you, baby, baby
Oh no, we came to love you all day
These bastards are leavin', somebody's got to stay
Whatever we called you, just a name, just a name
Turn my head
(Turn my head)
Turn my head
It's aimed at you, yeah, now
Turn my head
(Turn my head)
Turn my head
It's aimed at you
It's aimed at you
I talk of freedom
you talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
you'd much rather brag
and as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse
continue to dampen the day
the coin flips again and again, and again, and again
as our sanity walks away
all this discussion though politically correct
is dead beyond destruction
though it leaves me quite erect
and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
and the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
and we'll cry a lot
but this will be what we said
this will be what we said
born with your back to the god that spit you out on the riverbed angry at who?
me? you better back up fool i bet you took a gun to school too but now,
nobody's takin your candy you just keep on livin this tragedy
la da da da da da da, to each his own,

born with your back to the god that picked you up by your puppy scruff angry
at who? me?

yeah we gotta love, gotta love each other
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and i sang the dirge song
my brother never missed a beat
my brother kicked his feet to sleep, sweet feet
my brother kicked his feet to sleep
and i sang the dirge song
Angel, don't you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady, don't you know a man when you see one?
Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
Kick you feet and calm the space that makes
you hollow
little swami's got his bowl to eat
little swami always walks his beat, sweet feet
little swami's got his bowl to eat
and i sing the dirge song
it's amazing how they come to see
the little swami with his bowl to eat, sweet feet
the little swami only wears a sheet
and won't sing the dirge song
anal, tight-assed soldier with that dogged heart
put down your gun
we are ready to explode, we gotta take it smart
naked lovers feel the blood beneath their veins
electric nerves communicate
with tiny explosions through our brains
who is this energy that never left or came?
give rise to passion the only glory
of this human story
I give my heart and soul to the one
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our demise
even scientists say, everything is just light
not created, destroyed but eternally bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
in spite of the hate
who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?
who lit the candle that started the fire,
burnt down the fortress, the throne?
who could house all the refugees in a single shack
or a lowly bungalow?
who lives in a different dimension, free from the
struggles we know?
I give my heart and soul to the one
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our demise
even scientists say, everything is just light
not created, destroyed but eternally bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
they live in the light
we made it to the moon
but we can't make it home
waitin' on a rescue that never comes
made it to the moon
but we can't make it home
maybe home is where the heart is given up
to the one
to the one
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
they live, they
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
masters in everytime
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
You say "Hold on to the reigns"
I say "Let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "Groundless and free"
Tired of the water Tired of the wine
Tired of the future
Tired of time
Tired of the madness
Tired of the steel
Tired of the violence
Tired of me
Used steel
Used steel am I
What was pliable in love
Is now hard and crystallized
The intellect is fine
For counting money
And recalling times
That she cried,
"Groundless and free"
Hope is a letter that never arrives
What do you say to the child
Whose god is in the T.V.?
And what do you say to the man
Who blames the world on T.V.?
They don't even know how to sing my song
But they won't even try it
With me, with me, with me
Who is standing over playing like
The teacher
Harnessing the learned
Who try but can't leave her
I want to beg the liars to lay down
Their sirens
That play like the angels
To my deep desire
Free my son
Let him walk right through the rain
Free my son
Make him waterboy
Free my son
There he stands down on the shore
Free my son
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother?
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father?
"Come and see my heart. Come inside
And learn"?
Come and see my soul, it's like yours,
I say it's just like yours"?
Who is making over
Idolizing princes banishing the dreamers with
Barbed-wire fences
And telling all the children who run to
Her feet
That they have no vision
And love's all diseased
the weavers live up the street from me
the crackheads, they live down the street from me
the tall grass makes it hard to see
beyond my property
hey man, this is criminal,
this hard line symmetry
of people and pets
we don't bother anyone
we keep to ourselves
the mailman visits each of us in turn
we don't bother anyone
we keep to ourselves
the mailman visits each of us in time
gotta live, gotta live, gotta live
in shit towne
gotta live, gotta live, gotta live
everybody has a ghost
everybody has a ghost who sings like you do
yours is not like mine
but it's alright, keep it up
boy loses rib in new orleans
he can't help eyein' up the whores
under the bridge
boy loses rib and lets a hellified cry into the dark
where did i go wrong?
where did i go wrong?
i never needed this before
i need a woman to help me feel
everybody has the dream
everybody has the dream like a world tattoo
yours is not like mine, it's alright, keep it up
the scalped dives into the skin
good doctors never leave a scar
no proof again
i'll taake the myth, you take the blood
it's all the same to the world dreamer
it's all the same in the end
boy loses rib in new orleans
he trades some ether for a chance
under the bridge
boy loses rib as he's summoned to the mud
flat on his back
You got it bad
You got it good
You saw the sun
Like I knew that you would
We gotta make this better
Gotta make this right
Ain't no peace in the valley baby
'Til the darkness turns to light
Can you hear that children's song?
Can you take me to that place?
High above the lamentation up on the desert Plane
Do you hear that children's song?
Can you take me there?
Lost in the maya
Overboard in the sea
There was void and then that water broke
Then something called "me"
Now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
It's like never-ending mirrors
Playin' tricks on my eyes
Can you hear that children's song?
Can you take me to that place?
High above the lamentation up on the desert plane
Do you hear the children's song?
Can you take me there?
The face and ghost my guide
I must move on
It's the face of one ravaged by love
It's both dead and alive
You got it bad lover
No you got it good
You saw the sun
Like I knew that you would
In spite of my confusion
Up above all my pain
I gotta death-grip on this vision
Here we go again
The face and ghost my guide
I must move on
It's the face of one ravaged by love
It's both dead and alive
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Can you hear them singin'?
Can you hear them singin'?
Can you hear that children's song?
Can you take me to that place?
Do you hear that pilgrim's song?
Can you take me there?
Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger
Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream
I was seventeen
GIve up my house and sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on vine street
No more runnin', no more hidin' in the house of the dead
I think I'll grow some dreads
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I dream of love and the empty graveyard
I dream of vegas and the transcendental wildcard
A place where no one waits to die before they go into the light
And just the blind have sight
I follow nothin' but the compass of my instinct
No matter where he leads, I know he'll take me to the brink
And leave me there, all by myself, and all alone with my dreams
Can you hear my scream?
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more runnin' from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society (x2) will never dream like me
Society (x3) will never dream like me
Someone
Should take your microphone
See yeah one
Should take your microphone
in the moment I was losing my head
and I was
reachin' forward I was already there
readin' too much and losin' my head
this information caused a cut in the line
now I'm remembering good and thinking so much it's so nice.
the print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now
in the morning there are things to be read
words to be said and food to be fed but I
won't be there. I'll be clutchin' on a
megaphone pointed at my head, would you be
there, would you kindly, scream this word for word so loud and clear
I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you, if
the feeling drops out of your voice, would you
kindly pick it up
this is how, I'll go out tonight
dressed in blue, by the book tonight
this is how, I'll go out tonight
but I don't need a book.
we're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're
talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need
you should be workin' now, not only askin'
how and the whereabouts of where you'll
be. I don't suspect you will be thinking
when the brain is dead and the mind
has taken over, this is a skill, this
is not a game, where have you been,
are you with us? can you hear us? got
the megaphone pointed at you
i caught a glimpse of heaven last night to the left of your body to the right
of your mind lost in a riddle i was helpless to understand i went to a healer,
the healer held my hand she said all of these things are written
in the sand behind me
oh, i dream about you every night i call your name the whole world
thinks that i am insane here i come again, yeah
i caught a glimpse of heaven last night through a crack in the mirror
that fractalized the light a saint is a sinner,
a sinner is a saint it's all just the cloaks we hide behind a cartoon in the brain
and i say, all of these things are written in the sand behind me
oh, i dream about you every night i call your name the whole world
thinks that i am insane here i come again oh,
playin the hero of love takin' you higher i wanna be your hero of love

oh, i was lost in a riddle i was helpless to understand i went to a lover
this lover held my hand she said all of these things are just written
The dust had just settled
She's wonderin', what happens now?
I don't know where I am
I've never seen this place before
Am I dreamin'?
Or is this the real world?
Your love's too good for me
Lay with me lady, you're drivin' me crazy

These things that sustain me, oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
The sun had just faded

I aint never felt like this before
Am I dreamin'?
Or is this the real world
Your love's too good for me

But I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry
Pollution, Cain, and misery
Oceans of golden mystery
Armies boisterous and armies loud
Portraits of a vicious crowd
Talk to me, talk to me now
Hey man, you're all that I have
Me, myself, myself and I
Were born to work and born the die
I have chosen my anthems
Of these I am proud
Portraits of a divided crowd
slippery jack, no more turning back,
all around, morning humor
i am a waiter and i am a server
i'll run to your needs with strength and fervor
in times when you are wasted i will walk in
through the door, pick you from the floor

with a big burly beard
and a mustache to match
i'll watch you love the world

soft mellow voice or the
loud boisterous voice of an opera, opera lady!

the kind that wakes you up
the kind that's in my blood...
morning humor...
War in me War overseas
There ain't no difference between
Blood in me
Blood overseas
There ain't no difference between
The chills in your spine are oh, so sweet
People honor you so high
You've got to defend the stage at your feet
Take, Take, Take my anthem today
Hands on me
Hands overseas
There ain't no difference between
Heart in me
Heart overseas
i watched a man tell his boy
about the pains of reality
then i watched that child grow into a soldier
defending contradictions and paving the way...
who put the fear in here?
i watched a miracle in the making
then had a scientist tell me that i
couldn't live without breaking,
my habits of fearlessness and crying for the world...
who put the fear in here?
was it you, who finally shed the tear?
someone told me that two lovers bound
could put another sun in the sky
if you believed it, there'd be
twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
if i believed it, there'd be
twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
i thought i knew exactly what scared me
and i would never have to run again.
so i went to sleep and began dreaming
of perfect lives in paradise
woke up and started screaming...
who put the fear in here?
who put the fear in here? oh no...
was it you who finally shed the tear?
then who put the fear in here?
Gotta find a way to flow
in a host of things that grow,
where babies become old
and love is bought and sold.
The mouth of god is wide,
so let's just fall inside
and let the whole damn thing go
and flow...
Everybody's here
Mystery and beer
I have nothin to fear
Cuz I found a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
where babies become old
and love is bought and sold.
The mouth of god is wide,
so let's just fall inside
and let every damn thing go
and flow...
Everbody's here
The mystery is near
I have nothin to fear
Cuz I found a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
these babies become old
and love is bought and sold.
The mouth of god is wide,
so I'll just fall inside
and let every damn thing go
and flow...
Everywhere we go
(come inside)
Everywhere we go
come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch, but I don't care
she brought our food out on time
and wore a funky barrette in her hair
come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch but good enough
to leave some change,
everybody's good enough for some change
the girl's got family
she needs cash to buy aspirin for her pain,
everybody's good enough for some change
we all get the flu,
we all get aids
we've got to stick together after all,
everybody's good enough for some change,
libra, take my eyes from me
oh libra, make me blind so that i can see
everyone's dreamin' of a truth to be
everyone's changin' channels on a big tv
oh libra, like a balance
time tried to hold her, tried to tie her down
but i beat the clock,
now the balance makes my world go round,
oh libra, like a balance
libra, my love
Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea
Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were better friends
So I let it go
Did you let it go?
Let's get it back
Let's get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, and a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my
higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now
And right here
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go, my friend
And let's get it back
Let's get it back together
it was an evening i shared with the sun
to find out where we belong
from the earliest days
we were dancing in the shadows
more wine
cuz i got to have it
more skin
cuz i got to eat it
inside the outside, by the river, used to be so calm
used to be so sane
I rushed the lady's room
took the water from the toilet
washed her feet and blessed her name
more peace
is such a dirty habit
slow down, we're too afraid
let me ride
let me ride
burn my eyes
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my knuckles
but the beauty of this vision alone just like yesterday's sunset
has been perverted by the sentimental
and mistaken for love
the felix of your truth will always break
it and the iris of your eye will always shake it
and the armies, the armies I have created
will always hate it
will always bait you on
I liked the way my hand looked on your head
in the presence of my struggle
but the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet
it keeps invading all my private moments
If you've ever known love
If you've ever know peace
If you've ever know joy
Make sure that you are on time
If you've ever known war
If you've ever know pain
If you've ever said no
Make sure that you are on time
You are on time
You are on time
We are on time
For you are the world Fighting, mating, warring
You are all this now
Be aware, not scared
Look at me now
Silence
I say
Battle flag in the bassinet
Oil and blood on the bayonet
Crowded downtown hit the floor
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Aint no game so forget the score
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
a faceless generation devoid of love?
The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of God is that?
Ain't nothing more godless than a war
So what are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
A faceless generation?
let's gather round the supper table,
and tell the boy he's just as able
to die with his boots untied
evening's come, let's settle down
and sing one more song without a frown
sing for, sing for our voices
and more, sing for our choices,
just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie...
love must stand when raising a man... raising a man...
to teach him direction and the best that he can
and lesson one, you will run,
sink into your chair with fright
a baby boy is born today
where comes he from, where will he play?
will he run or will he stand?
now i lay him down to sleep
a state of mind, his soul will keep.
i give him words, words to say
that he might love, love everyday
just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie...
love must stand when raising a man
to teach him direction and the best that he can
and lesson one, you will run,
sink into your chair with fright
let the world be the world
let the dream unfurl
let it run its own game
let it dance with itself
I didn't put it here
gonna let it ride
gotta master, crazy on the other side
wakin' me up
I ain't got no brains
I can't trust my eyes
what good's a beautiful day
if you can't see the light?
I can't find my fate
well then I must be blind
with the force and fire of love
that's takin over my mind
wakin' me up
obligin' me to the sun
obligin' me to the sun
sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won't you lay down your light on us
sun sun
let the world be the world
let the girl be the girl
let her beauty move ya
let her dance be your guide
let your hunger grow
but don't eat the fruit "too low"
keep climbin' for the kisses on the other side
wakin' me up obligin' me to the sun
obligin' me to the sun
sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won't you lay down your light on us
sun sun
all we need is to come into the sun
we've been out in the dark for so long
if I told you he was your brother
we could reminisce
then you would go about your day
if I said you ought to give him
some of your water
you'd shake your canteen and walk away
the perception that divides you from him
is a lie
for some reason you never asked why
this is not a black and white world
you can't afford to believe in your side
this is not a black and white world
to be alive
I say that the colors must swirl
and I believe
that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray
if I told you that she was your mother
we could analyze the situation and be gone
if I said you ought to give her
some of your water
your eyes would light up like the dawn
the perception that divides you from her
is a lie
for some reason you never asked why
this is not a black and white world
you can't afford to believe in your side
this is not a black and white world
to be alive
I say the colors must swirl
and I believe
that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray
look into your eyes
no daylight
new day now
see me walking aimlessly about,
don't know whether to whisper or to shout,
i could be wrong, i could be very, very right.
here i stand, innocence in my room
she's naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon.
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
i could have been to you tonight
what i've wanted to be all my life
the day is gone now i can see.
i can't sustain your love
i can't complain your love
i can't explain your love
oh no! she's my...
sister, with her, don't let your heart
break too soon
maybe, baby, come on sister,
lady you're my breath!
sister yeah...
My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone
You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool
Somehow this dime store ring still shines like a diamond to you
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Thought I knew the rules, thought I held it in my hand
Thought I was bulletproof till the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite, a shooting star or a dove?
Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Burns me up like the sun
Your mystery
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend
Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man
And fear is like a fallen bridge broken from an edge
Never used to be so tired
Never used to be so anxious
Never said, "used to be", so much
If this is love then I
Have been so sorely mistaken
If this is peace then I
Have been so falsely awakened, yeah
Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
And find out what love is not
I've been to every book
I've been to every seer
In order to find the truth
As if it lives somewhere
I want to uproot my violence
I want to live like a saint
I want to give up everything
Just like the businessman wants to gain
Just like the businessman wants to gain
Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
And find out what love is not
Please don't tell me what peace is
Let's look together
And find out what peace is not
And find out what peace is not
And find out what love is not
And find out what peace is not, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
Never used to be so tired
Never used to feel so anxious
Never said, "used to be", so much
If this is love then I
Have been so sorely mistaken
If this is peace then I
Have been so falsely awakened, oh my Lord
Please don't tell me what love is
Let's look together
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes, the confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door
Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes, the confusion that was hers
Belongs now, to the baby down the hall
Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angels open her eyes, pale blue colored iris
Presents the sun and puts th glory out to hide, hide
Oh, now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
i'll kill you in my dreams
i turn the other cheek during the day
i'll kill you all
the subculture of my dreams
is waiting for me to fall asleep
i know you're scared, you should be
k know you're scared
hero
dreamer
this attic of my mind
these feelings i can't hide
i can't share
i feel alone, ah yeah
the subconscious keeps me here
i fell in love with a balladeer
i saw your tongue, it licked my heart
they called you queer
hero
dreamer
hero
they called you queer
they called you queer
they called you queer
sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in some blissful dream
where the goddess finally sleeps
in the lap of her lover
subdued in all her rage
and I am aglow with the taste
of the demons driven out
and happily replaced
with the presence of real love
the only one who saves
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
the stillness in your eyes
convinces me that I
I don't know a thing
and I been around the world and I've
tasted all the wines
a half a billion times
came sickened to your shores
you show me what this life is for
I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
in this altered state
full of so much pain and rage
you know we got to find a way to let it go
sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in the heart of it all
where the goddess finally sleeps
after eons of war and lifetimes
she smilin' and free, nothin' left
but a cracking voice and a song, oh lord
I wanna dance with you
i see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
i see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
slippery jack, no more turning back,
all around, morning humor
i am a waiter and i am a server
i'll run to your needs with strength and fervor
in times when you are wasted i will walk in
through the door, pick you from the floor
then watch you grow into a man
with a big burly beard
and a mustache to match
i'll watch you love the world
and all that it has...
with that morning humor,
morning humor
the kind that wakes you up
the kind that's in my blood
morning humor, morning humor, yeah...
i am on top again, soon to be low again
oh will this ever end?
i'm sorry i don't mean to sound like a whale
trapped in the ice, but ain't it nice to say exactly
what i please...
with a big toney voice or a
soft mellow voice or the
loud boisterous voice of an opera, opera lady!
with that morning humor,
morning humor
the kind that wakes you up.
the kind that's in my blood
morning humor, morning humor, yeah...
but the joke that kills
is just a joke to you
you need some...
slippery jack, no more turning back,
all around, morning humor
the kind that wakes you up
the kind that's in my blood...
