C'monna, y'wanna, surely gonna make it a try
Chiquita, I needa, cut me off a piece of ya...
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Smoking and poking, changing in the blink of an eye
Fly high by my window at night...
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Lately a message talks about a place in the world
Little by little the mystery begins to uncurl
Snakey's awakey and he wants a little piece o' the pie
C'monna, y'wanna, surely this'll cause you to die
C'mon over here, take this and stick it down your throat
Hope you don't choke on it
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Down in the valley
There's an animal kingdom
You can't even see it
Till the sun goes down
Up in the mountains
There's beautiful rings
On fingers that dance
To invisible sound
Up in my head
There's an animal kingdom
I am the king
Of the animals there
Up in the mountains (my head)
I'm a beautiful singer
To birds that dance
On invisible air
I've got a question, I got to know
I see right what I'm looking for
I see, I see, I see
I got no hurry, I've got no fight
I know it's all in the hidden light
I know, I know, I know
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I've got no business, I got no right
And I know, that's not very nice
I know, I know, I know
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
A hundred miles away
I can't see it with my eyes
But I can feel it
And it might just be
You got wings on your fingers
In the middle of a battle
Is a little of the way you talk
And you shine
You got cobwebs on your halo
In the closet there are skeletons
Lined up ready to talk
And they shine
Fade into what
Made into hours
And pulled into lines
You got a ring around your finger
And a heart in the bottle
That never really learned to talk
And they shine
You got brickbats on your beltway
In the middle is a puzzle
With the pieces that have turned to slop
Mother master, some things must be
Plastic master, this is for free
You give off a dark
Seems larger than life
Violet eyes
Plastic master, smoke drifts from a rose
Timber empire, able to explode
Cut open the box
Out rushes the night
Violet eyes
Plastic baby,
Rope drifts through open holes
Robot Kingdom, fables will explode
Cut open the box
Out rushes the night
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
I have seen their information
On the lighter side of dumbness
I have heard the new statistics
And the stomping on the ground
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around
Waking up from my slumber
To misunderstand another
Though they call it terra firma
It dissolves beneath my feet
Looking through a pile of garbage
For some worthless piece of paper
That's been hidden there for me
To give meaning to my day
Going down to the desert
To the dirty filthy desert
I'll be crawling through the sand
For at least a couple days
Going down to the desert
ther are things owrth avoiding
And it always makes me cross
When those things get in my way.
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
The horizon breaks to pieces
And the mainline is the twilight
And the giant net has a perfect window
Passage through has the ticket screaming
I want a mind
I'll tell you what I find
No severed goddess hand
No plaster in my eye
No picture of a lamb
No goddess hand have I
I'm a picture of a goddess
Of a planet in the window
Through a tiny hole in the giant curtain
I have watched as it stood undressing
I want more more eyes
I want to see more lies
In the silence of the neurons
Where the pathway has been printed
There's a gleaming hope for an understanding
Timing's gone and there's been no planning
Twho heads, one dream
Every thought's a game
A pack of chimps I cannot tame
You're wondering who to blame
Now your ride has come up lame
Fortres full of hate
Fears and hopes all pound the gate
To early, it's too late
What is evil, which is great?
Pigs are sheep and cats are dogs
And thoughts are made of Lincoln Logs
To tend to the mice and wood
Where black is blue and bad is good
Thoughts that I keep my money in
Melt some wax and chunks of tin
Forget your name, how to walk and ignore
The light shining in from under the door
Thoughts like a thread through a foam device
Liquid bread and rubber ice
Make a promise, grow teeth, go to bed
The colors are flowing from the wall to the floor
And only an outline still remains
Cause the roof's got a hole in it
And everything's been ruined by the rain
There may be diamons in that dream on the hill
But the people who live there still complain
Cause the roof's got a hole in it
And everything is soaking in the rain
No one can practice the common sense that they see
Through the nickle and diming I'll explain
When the roof's got a hole in it
Everything gets ruined by the rain
My head's got a hole in it
We got road, we got time, so we're out of here
We got rows, we got rows as far as we can see
In the dust we can see your catastrophe
Shining dimly like a mudslick in the sun
Sparks fly from their eyes
Birds fly from their mouths
Echoing off this procession is a sound
Never to be found
With a tip of the hat we would exit here
Off you go with a pie on your face
Down the road we can see the electric chair
Who'll be the first? I don't know, it's a race.
With a drop of the fly we should exit here
Off you go with the crumbs on your face
One-eyed clown in the road with electric hair
Last hand I shook was a boat that floated on its back all day
In the middle of a song about trees that are scared of the dark
Wait until you're gone to steal some thoughts from offa the shelf
To trade for hats with holes that let the night shine through
Exchange our fears for little glass holes
And broken dreams of bent-backed trolls
Who'll tend the trees and what's in between
The sky above is aglow with evil love
The boat sank offshore in a birdbath dreamt by a broken wheel
Left by the side of the road right where night slipped and fell
And if I ever had they couldn't tell; if we were they didn't know
She might but if he did they can't, you must, I won't
Turn our tears to little black holes
To light the way for three blind moles
Who'll tend the trees and whats in between
Lights blowing away
Came untied in a hurricane
Behind the shadow of the wind
The wave is sharp and narrow
To find the needles eye then
To fire with poison arrows
I've counted to one
And so believe this is yesterday
All flying away
Shadowed is the game
Rodent be thy claim
Any open door
Leads to instant things
Make me go away
Take me to a place
Do some things to me
Make me go away
Ancient things design
Make me go away
Over is the game
Captured have you been
Twisted was part two
Ageless is the end
Things we must not do
Must not walk through walls
Also also don't
Do some things we did
Is this thing an oak?
What kind of a tree
This here must be swept
Must do instant things
The smell of blue perfume
Present in design
I've a need to talk
Let us speak of things
Nothing do I know
But loudly do I ring
Also don't
Do some things we did
As I'm lying there
Cold comforts blown from nowhere
And blue light is on the ground
And the coloring is changing
Reflecting everything
From cold mirrors all around
I see candles on the mountain
I see the vampires that surround them
Shaking, shaking
I see the candles on the mountain
In the still of the night
We stop breathing from this atmosphere
For, no air is all around
And the running vein
Is sung softly by the candle light
To cold waters underground
As I'm lying there
Cold comforts blown from nowhere
And blue light is on the ground
And the coloring is changing
Reflecting everything
It’s the shadow in the dark,
The silver in the park,
It’s the broken, faded bird,
You’ve learned to call your heart,
It’s not a thing you can seek,
Plainer than you or me,
I’ve opened a lock there,
And I don’t have the key,
No key…
It’s over in the living room,
Just above the door,
Whistles while it hangs there,
Feathers drip from every pore,
It shows a spectacle of falling,
Settles to the floor,
It shows a spectacle of falling,
And settles to the floor,
Settles to the floor!
-----------------------------
This is the story of the history of night
From the beginning it has never seen the light
It takes a while to never understand
And holds the gift of darkness in his hand
This is the story of a monkey and the snake
The monkey hit that sucker with a rake
The snake then bit the monkey on the hand
In some forgettable rhyme
We crawled across the border line
We kissed the enemy till
I thought we traveled out of time
You couldn't have heard me speak
There was, so it did seem, I say
A fog so heavy that I could not tell
If it was night or day
Hand over all water
You know that means business
Scum
Under the stone
We find the scum
Under the stars
We find the scum
I thought a beautiful thing
A fire was lit within my mind
On ruby hummingbird wings
Went shivering up and down my spine
The water that quit our thirst
Was not from earthly vineyards mined
And then we drunkenly sailed
Thieves have brought us invisible make-up
The fires are growing hypnotically thin
Fish are leading us out of the water
Spineless majesty swallows a grin
There's a seed on the wind
There's a rose in the seed
On the petals of the rose
Is the smell of sweet ammonia
Frozen cherubs alight in a glowing tree
Copper locust, invisible string
Fried robots are blowing sweet melodies
Silver frogs in lava stream sing
I am the light beam, I am the rock
I think I am, I think I am
I am the lime doll, I am the dog
I think I am, I think I am
Pulled a muscle inside my thinking
Not using my head for while
Unearthing the tunneling underground
I wanna be
I wanna be right out there
And watch it blow right out of the radio
I gotta be
I gotta be like something
And watch my face come out of the radio
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
A bell has gone
About to be half open
And watch it blow straight out of the radio
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
You gotta dream
About a thing or something
And let 'em all flies out of the radio
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
A bell has gone
About to be half open
A bell has gone
I fall towards a flash of light
That burns the seed of life away
No thing is changed
Nothing arranged
No thing will ever be
There's no place, clear dry space
I'm a hole in this time
In a time full of holes
You see it
I'm nothing
My heart is gone
I missed the point
I sleep to dream I'm wide awake
Nothing is near or far away
Nothing awaits to be
Here I stand
Tongue in hand
I'm a hole in this time
In a time full of holes
You see it
I'm nothing
I think perhaps I'll live to lie
Awake to fall asleep to fall
Into a trance in which I dream
More and more I find
I thought I lost what I left behind
On and on it goes
Through the door and away it goes
So I'll find myself a new pair of shoes
Make myself a new pair of shoes
Up and down my spine
Feeling broken and now I find
That's the way it's been
My bottom teeth are made of tin
Find myself a new pair of shoes
Make myself a new pair of shoes
Grow myself, steal myself
Make myself a new pair of shoes
Down and out of time
Slipping underneath the slime
Out the monkey hole
Pay for things I thought I stole
Can you tell my the way it oughta feel
When I'm walking down the road
And I'm looking for a deal?
Can you tell 'bout the way I better go
When the sun is coming up
And my shadow starts to show?
Hiding out in a cave up in the hills
With a rabbit and a rooster
And some elevating pills
See me 'round every Monday afternoon
With eleven dog eared doughnuts
And a giant pink baboon
More and more I find
There's not a lot that I left behind
On the lawn it grows
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And damn it if Norman and Betty were listening
Somebody would have become a phenomenal
Howling lightning tampering with the
Electrical evidence shown to be relevant
Possibly with the exception of ivory
Everyone else had abandoned the obvious
Chipping away at erroneous garbage
Which definitely is as exciting as pudding
Deliciously spooned from the lap of the Ludicrous
Into the mouths of the questionless idiots
Licking their lips as their eyeballs are rolling
And flapping their tongues as they're losing their marbles
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
Someone who wasn't related to anyone
Twisted the facts till the truth was apparent
And dished up a dollop of dubious doo-doo
That sparkled like something folks scrambled to swallow
Slipping the rich through the eye of a needle
Is easy as getting a camel to heaven
And granny transgressing had blubbered
A bibful of classified info on Milton's imbroglio
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
This rendered me silent
Tuneless, only petrified
Roads leading to nowhere
Twisting through it's silver hair
In time I got me the lucky right
To see it in an apple light
I'll always remember right
To see it in an apple light
Sleep, asleep in an old chair
Stupor of another time
Thoughts circling nowhere
Captured in a bed of lime
Once, while I was watching
Something got a piece of me
Now, now, I can tell you
Why I am incomplete
Now, the predator is in sight
It sees me in an apple light
I'll always remember right
I realize and I
I gotta get away
I feel alive and I
I go be dead today
I eat some flies and I
I pick ticks off my eyes
And fry some broken auto parts
And fly electric monkey carts
Gotta run gotta hide
Gotta get away
Gotta run gotta get away
I see the sky and I crawl in a hole and die
I see the rain and
Ride your brand new choo choo train
Find that lovely lizards fly
Try some brain goo picnic pie
Blind no arms no head no leg
Fried another rotten egg
Babe's born to beg
Don't you cry for me
Don't cry for me
Set your neighbors free
Then count to three
Neath the rotten log
Inflatable dog
Long and made of gold
And the corpse is growing cold
I realize and I
I gotta get away
I feel alive and I
I go be dead today
I eat some flies and I
I pick ticks off my eyes and
Fry some other auto parts and
Fly electric monkeys carts
Gotta run gotta hide
Gotta get away
Gotta run gotta get away
I'm not you
no matter what you do
no matter what you see
I'll always be a chimpanzee
you're not me
no matter what you see
the things I say and do
Lost on the freeway again
Looking for means to an end
Nobody knows which way it's gonna bend
Lost on the freeway again
Walking the freeze ways again
Thinking of something my friend
I get tired of living Nixon's mess
Walking the freeze ways again
I know there'll come a day
When you'll say that you don't know me
And I know there'll come a time
When there's nothing anybody owes me anymore
Locked in the attic again
Out of the shallow and into deep end
I've got a rule, I know will never end
Locked in the attic again
I know there'll come a day
When you'll say that you know me
I know there'll come a time
When there's nothing anybody owes me anymore
Lost on the freeway again
Looking for means to an end
Nobody knows which way it's gonna bend
Lost on the freeway again
Well, I know there'll come a day
When you'll say that you don't know me
And I know there'll come a time
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Can't hear your momma call
From the early, early mornin' till the early, early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Can't hear your momma call
Well, momma, poppa told me, "Son, you better watch your step"
If I knew my momma, poppa have to watch my dad myself
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Can't hear your momma call
I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing?
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Can't hear your momma call
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a rollin'
Four skulls in a square of bushes
Fireworks now and all were wed
They loved and walked and fed on garbage
Moved pool tables with bad backs
Since I hurt myself, I feel so much better
Suck my eyeball
Alcohol was pouring through the victims
As on the rocks they laid their breath
Alcohol was fed to the mummies
As they all were happily led to death
Take yourself a photo of my backside
Printed up on the front page
Not too sweet, not too strong
There seemed to be a buzzing in the air
The barnyard creatures settled off to bed
All at once they heard the sound
A soft vibration filled the ground
Now it came as they were sleeping
Now the magic science knife
Is cutting up the molecules of gold
Now the magic scientists
Are patching up the fabric of the soul .. a slip of the coil
They printed them and stacked them on a shelf
And lined them up imprinted on a page
And printed there in paper news
The farm reports became untrue
Now it came as they were sleeping
Now the magic science knife
Is cutting up the molecules of gold
Now the magic scientists
Are patching up the fabric of the soul .. a slip of the coil
The perfect sheep can fly a fancy plane
It’s counterpart prepares a perfect meal
The luxury of DNA
Has given them their hands and brains
And appetites for wine and chocolate
Now it came as they were sleeping
Now the magic science knife
Is cutting up the molecules of gold
Now the magic scientists
Saw it in Braille
Come randomly pouring out
In a wave of black ice
And night time and then
In a fast moving storm
With singalong thunderclouds
The soft explosion
Of dayfall and then
Orange and blue
The fire is starting
Shimmering through
The chemical garden
I am not alone
Stumbling through
The chemical garden
Behind these black eyes
A story is playing out
Atop a cloudy hill
The verdict is read
On every lip the sound
Of the feather falls
A wave of nighttime's
Electrical head
Though I refuse to see
I'm suddenly shown
Cut through the sweetest parts
This diamond flow I hear, this shiny hole I wear
This broken rock we breathe was once a lifeless square
We welcome you to here, it isn't so I fear
We wouldn't want to stay another perfect day
Vines break the stone and they twist around everyone
Blanket of weeds
Signs stand alone and they don't point for anyone
Blanket of weeds
To walk across this field, this diamond field of seeds
They break and block the sun across a dying sea
The warming of the stone, the blood begins to freeze
The diamond dust it turns and floats upon the sea
Vines break the stone and they twist around everyone
Blanket of weeds
Signs stand alone and they don't point for anyone
Blanket of weeds
This diamond flow I hear, it isn't so I fear
We wouldn't want to spoil another perfect year
Vines break the stone and they twist around everyone
Blanket of weeds
Signs stand alone and they don't point for anyone
Blanket of weeds
Vines break the stone and they twist around everyone
Blanket of weeds
Signs stand alone and they don't point for anyone
Blanket of weeds
Serious buy curious, buy anything
Buy it or shaving cream goes down the drain
Blue-vine, batwing, cannibal
Hurrah, hurrah
Novice tomboy, sugar wrestler discipline
Body vintage, flea hypnosis anti-trend
Blue-vine, batwing, cannibal
poor little negro
sitting in a tree
eating his favorite
cocoa leaves
along came some fellows
takin' him away
take away his culture
put him on a plane
poor little negro
sitting in the states
he's about to try his
first chocolate shake
poor little negro
puking in the sink
he's regained his culture
Everybody's got some kind of
Belief about creator
Some say openly, "I don't know,"
Some build elevators
To take the chosen few
Who can afford the scenic view
To the top of some big tower
Looking out on fields of blue
Walking clouds on caves of emptiness
That fall around their minds
To flirt openly with vapor
And the trail it leaves behind
Fences fly and sidewalks cry
Concerning our creator
Turning loose the butterfly
That ate the alligator
Picking up its open-ended
Holographic roots
It moved out to the tower
To look down on me and you
Walking caves of empty water
In the boring morning rain
Making love to open windows
And the vapor trails' refrain
we love, that's why we're here
oh yes, we hold you all so dear
and now this one's for you
a love offering for your ears
our fans hold us in highest esteem
faithful, that's how it seems
and now straight from our hearts
a love offering, so bold so new
(it never stops, it never starts)
oh yes, it's for sure my life's call
entertaining for folks short and tall
you've bee n so kind for all these years
we'll never be able to repay you all
It's righteousness is shining
It walks on ruby shoes
There's not too much of nothing
You cannot make it do
I cross the muddy river
To dig a diamond mine
I got a good thing working
On diamond mining time
I got some cotton candy
I got a spool of thread
I'm gonna weave a basket
And put it on my head
Inside the mighty basket
I carry rattlesnakes
You got to be a monkey
To see the sense it makes
DRY RAIN
You said you'd make it grow
You said you'd make it green
But I see dusty fields
Broken rock is all I see
And all around me
I see your storm clouds
Another lies about to fall
It seemed like it was real
Felt like water to my skin
But I stepped through the rainbow
And saw the desert deep within
And all around me
Are roaring waters
But I won't let me
Be swept away
And all around me
I see the Pharaohs
I see collections
Why must I move so slow
In my heart I can't let it go
And dreams fall into my eyes
In the night I have no disguise
Why does it seem to go
Fall apart in lies
Seems we will never know
Always asking why
Please let us stop this now
No it don't matter anyhow
This heart's trivialities
Are the world's sole realities
I know that it's over now
But I still want it anyhow
This heart's sole realities
Doesn't it blow so cold and lonely
Oh, and it's blowin your way
Thunder roars, the clouds are reeling
A thousand shades of gray
And it falls you see it all
All that you see
Comes from nowhere
Can't be explained
No one can buy
The wind and the rain
Whistling wind the stars are shooting
Night is falling somewhere
Gimme a door, I feel like walking
Putting the wind in my hair
As it falls the thunder calls
Calls its own name
Can't be controlled
Can't be contained
No one can buy
The wind and the rain
Throughout the years
Some things remain
No one can buy
The wind and the rain
Throughout the years
Some things remain
No one can buy
Four sides of curves
You call it round
It's saying nothing
Doesn't make a sound
Doesn't lift a finger
But it's working all the time
Got to know it well
Cause it's always on my mind
Always on my mind
Hidden between the lines
The unsung hero
Taking the time to find
The mighty zero
It's just a number
You can count it on your hand
But I still don't seem to get it
There's nothing to understand
To understand
Woke up this morning
Pulled on my shoes
Nothin's goin' on
But I got no time to lose
Can't seem to see it
Don't seem to care
How you supposed to taste it
There's nothing there
There's nothing there
Nothing there at all
The invisible hero
But you can write it on the wall
The mighty zero
It's just a number
You can count it on your hand
I still don't seem to get it
There's nothing to understand
To understand
Nothing there to show
No big deal no
How would you like to know
There was a swirling mass of water that lived in a quiet pond
It asked permission from its master to visit the lands beyond
And its master allowed it to fly
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
The whirlpool's mother wore a jacket she'd sewn out of dental floss
It was stolen by a monkey that sold it to an albatross
And it had the idea to fly
so the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
There was a swirling mass of water that lived in a quiet pond
It asked permission from its master to visit the lands beyond
And its master allowed it to fly
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
And it had the idea to fly
the night is restless
but no dream's in sight
and the sounds have no beginnings or ends
and that glow is not a light
the walls turn into waterfalls
with water made of thoughts that call,
"it's not O.K. to tip the glass
don't smile too long or shed a tear
you're not the only one that's you
things have changed, now we are here."
we are not the king and queen
what we are lies in between
the blankets that you've never seen
but over you are spread
"we are here," the voices sing
"we are here," the echo thunders
"here we are," the doorbell rings
"we are here and here in numbers"
the others came in from the hall
and thoughts with voices start to call,
"it's not O.K. to tip the glass
or smile too long or shed a tear
you're not alone the way you thought
A long time ago
I turned to myself
And said, "You are my daughter."
I saw that image
I saw there was well
"So you are my daughter."
Well, then maybe we've got
Something to talk about
Who told you so?
That gold burns slow
Like coal camper's candles
All lost in the snow
Lay down, you're on
The warmth that I'm weaving
Is for you alone
Up on the sun
Where it never rains or snows
There's an ocean
With a wind that never blows
And if you see it closer
Then the finer points will show
Not to much more
Too much more
They are not stars burning in the sky at night
No, no, they're candles in astro-flight
They are not men walking on the streets below
What are they really nobody knows
They are not stars, we are not human
I don't know the reason why
A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye
And so, a rose is not a rose
By that or any other name
Things remain unexplained
I am a tree, dancing on the ocean floor
The air is water on desert shores
There is a face painted on the salty moon
The tree singing this silent tune
They are not stars, we are not human
I don't know the reason why
A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye
And so, a rose is not a rose
By that or any other name
Things remain unexplained
They are not stars, we are not human
I don't know the reason why
A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye
And so, a rose is not a rose
By that or any other name
Things remain unexplained
They are not stars, we are not human
I don't know the reason why
A firefly is not a candle, not a flower in my eye
And so, a rose is not a rose
By that or any other name
Two rivers rolling by
Two waters side by side
Never touching, they remain
When they meet the waters change
Two rivers, one name
River flows with many names
Water leading water's aim
Finding ways to change again
Finding yet another name
Around here it's all the same
I said it's all the same
When drops of sunshine
Start to turn to rain
I said it's all the same
They don't know what to call it
But they all say it's wrong
Well, I don't see no greener pastures
This must be where I belong
Maybe you won't have to hit me again
Maybe you won't try to slap me for lying
I did what you heard and I can admit
That I'd do it again in a second tomorrow
Little or nothing makes much of a difference
So I took the chance not to bother with trifles
You mind your business and I'll pick the slack up
and you'll never notice how much I have borrowed
And we say, "That's how it goes,"
And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows
I took a long drink of some kind of water
That ate up my thoughts and dried up my conscience
I'd be the first to admit what my faults are
But change is a problem and I'll be resistant
Little or nowhere is closer than ever
And I got the feeling we're stuck till tomorrow
Carry on fishing and I'll keep my hat on
and together we'll see just how much we can borrow
And we say, "That's how it goes,"
And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows
Maybe you won't have to hit me again
Maybe you won't try to slap me for lying
I did what you heard and I can admit
That I'd do it again in a second tomorrow
Little or nothing makes much of a difference
So I took the chance not to bother with trifles
You mind your business and I'll pick the slack up
and you'll never notice how much I have borrowed
And we say, "That's how it goes,"
And we stay, watching the mess that we've made as it grows
And we say, "That's how it goes,"
The sun is up and beating down
Hot enough to melt the ground
A little water would do us good
The clouds'd help us if they could
They'd send showers of pouring rain
Get everything wet again
We could go and float around
In our favorite swimming ground
The best place I ever found
Wasn't close to any town
Was a little swimming ground
Everything just floating around
Out to lunch and out of town
Pretty close to falling down
A little water would do us good
the man laid his hat on the table
hung his coat up on the wall
sat down to dinner
said as soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all
then he took a deck from his pocket
spread em so I saw em all
then he turned his back to me
shuffled em and drew me
the card that said I never would fall
oh mary lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner
and a lazer in my shoe
if I don't get an answer
gonna split myself in two
he spun till a ton was glistening
turned to me and gave me a smile
he said I'm leaving now
but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little while
that was the last time I saw him
hope I never see him again
I know it sounds funny
but I owe him some money
and I really don't want him for a friend
oh mary lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner
and a lazer in my shoe
if I don't get an answer
Let me see everything
Let me live forever
Give me wings and show me how
To control the weather
Give me the mountains
Give me the sea
And build a mighty tower
Especially for me
Fill the tower up with food
The kind I love to eat
Send a couple maidens
With soft hands to rub my feet
Give me superhuman strength
To wipe out what is wrong
Give me all of everything
I've wanted for so long
Unearthly visions filled my head
As I lay there and sexy music
Tumbled all around
ANd then the music turned to
Emerald feathered goblins
That cast their burning pearls
To the ground
Hot as the sun
The red rubber fountain of ecstasy
Flows from the palms of my hands
LIke the wind
Forget yourself, you only wanna be alone
You bought the shelf, you're living like a dusty bone
Gas is high tonight and all the horses flown
And it's all sewn together this time
And it's all sewn together this time
Suit yourself, you're dressing for another time
Rotten bell is hanging from a dusty vine
Blue and silver shards of broken candle light
And it's all sewn together this time
And it's all sewn together this time
Watch my fall, step on my head again
I just took all the rest of the medicine
I pay myself tonight so I can be my friend
And it's all sewn together this time
And it's all sewn together this time
Blue and silver shards of broken candle light
And it's all sewn together this time
And it's all sewn together this time
And it's all sewn together this time
And it's all sewn together this time
Pistachios turn your fingers red
Row your way back home. you know
Roll right into bed
Pick it up in a week or two
Flags jump out your head
Row your way back home you know
Roll right into bed
c'mon everybody you know what I mean
won't spell it out for you it's so plain
we're gonna play some numbers this you'd better believe
yes we surely are and we're gonna achieve
don't start talking about bangin' the walls
it isn't gonna happen these are well-guarded halls
don't start talking about how thing's gonna change
you know we don't believe you, we think you're deranged
just give us your money and tell us we're swell
Between the black and the gray there is only the rage
Of the waterfall dream
And the shadows that play in the roaring cascade
Will not stay in the stream
Though a feather or two has been plucked from your wings
Flying is always the same
We'll fly off together, I'll love you forever
For now forever's to blame
In the cavern of night where the river of thirst
Runs its terrible course
Burns a crystal black flame in the cold silver eyes
Of a sapphire blue horse
Though a feather or two has been plucked from your wings
Flying is always the same
We'll fly off together, I'll love you forever
For now forever's to blame
In the cavern of night where the river of thirst
Runs its terrible course
Burns a crystal black flame in the cold silver eyes
Of a sapphire blue horse
Though a feather or two has been plucked from your wings
Flying is always the same
We'll fly off together, I'll love you forever
For now forever's to blame
Though a feather or two has been plucked from your wings
Flying is always the same
We'll fly off together, I'll love you forever
For now forever's to blame
We played for you and you did not dance
we wailed and you did not listen
and John came neither eating nor drinking
and you said he is possessed by a demon
the son of man came eating and drinking
and you said he is a friend of tax collectors
but what can I say about you?
You are like children in the marketplace
Shouting to your playmates
he who receives a prophet because he is a
prophet will receive the prophets reward
he who receives a righteous man because he is a
righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward
Quit it give it up, ring that bell
You climb the walls, might as well
Like golden roses fallin' down
Ringing out all over town
Somewhere in the ballroom
Rain begins to fall
The dancers twisted on
Through the thunder and the walls
There is a haze out on the field
There is a fender over the wheel
A string of crows flyin' out the haze
Settles on the fender will not go away
Backwards to the sunset
On a horse without a brain
Met the moon one evening
As I stood out in the rain
Quit it give it up, ring that bell
Quit it give it up, might as well
Dynamite lyin' round
Blowin' up, blowin' down
Peekin' up, diving in
Rosie Ribbon howls let's do it again
Feeling too far sideways
Flashin' in the pan
Dove in through the window
Stumbled to a stand
Baby give it up, ring that bell
Love flies on wings
Listen to the angels sing
Love flies on wings
Put it in the calibrations
Show it to be ornamental
Wrapped up, crapped on, torn up, thrown away
Love flies on wings
Oh be joyful
Try knock 'em stiff
Send in the clowns
Popskull
Here come the clowns
Welcome all to tiny town
Send in the clowns
Put it on the burner
With an extra shot of bubble water
That's right you take no more little dribble
Here come the clowns
Oh be joyful
Try knock 'em stiff
Send in the clowns
Popskull
Love flies on wings
Listen to the angels sing
Love flies on wings
Put it on the burner
With an extra shot of bubble water
That's right you take no more little dribble
Put it in the calibrations
Show it to be ornamental
Wrapped up, crapped on, torn up, thrown away
Love flies on wings
Oh be joyful
Try knock 'em stiff
Send in the clowns
Popskull
Oh be joyful
Try knock 'em stiff
Send in the clowns
I'm dead, got nothing to lose
the biggest fucker around's gonna give himself
the blues trying to make trouble for a dead man
what's that, you're mistaken
the spot you wanted most has already been taken
and it's been taken by your own self
no reason for a hasty retreat
you're dead just a little bit too
perhaps you've forgotten all the things you can't do
like letting your belly get swollen
from lack of food
and every broken rock or bone
or blue-green god tree or the smell of damp
or the touch of you reminds me
many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
to beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
there's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
and an illustrated book about birds
you see a lot up there but don't be scared
who needs action when you got words
when you're finished with the mop then you can stop
and look at what you've done
the plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
and the work it took was fun
well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
some said it was in greenland and some in mexico
some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
You said I shouldn't have gone
I don't know I went ahead on anyway
Night time wore to dawn
I found my free will had gone away from me
Behind the masks that pass for faces
Hours are lost in forbidden places
Nowhere for me to run
Not that I feel like running anywhere anyway
Some things are clear at night
Then become confusing in the light of day
Within the darkness
Behind the faces
Pioneers of forbidden places
Something I wouldn't have thought
Crept up from behind me now it's here to stay
Too real although it's not
Couldn't have possibly been avoided anyway
The crazy landscapes behind the faces,
Holding back the forbidden places
Abolished music, lost for ages
The living words of forbidden pages
Though dust has gathered on honest feeling
Forbidden truths through twilight stealing
And in the eyes of the listless faces
Glisten hints of forbidden places
Six Gallon Pie (instrumental)
They draw the line you cannot see
They build the cage that sets you free
They drop the word from up above
They crack the whip you've grown to love
Say what? Say what?
Party till the world obeys...
They pull the load with all your might
And make you blind to fix your sight
You fly on wings into their snare
They sell you tickets to thin air
Say what? Say what?
Party till the world obeys...
FLIGHT OF THE FIRE WEASEL (instrumental)
STRINGS ON YOUR HEART
I see it, I get it, to find it below
You know me, your fire, but I can't let go
In silence through canyons of motion we start
Beyond us these motions emerge from the dark
Now I'm tied up in circles
So I won't fall apart
Tied up and tangled strings on your heart
It's clouded in mystery surrounding your heart
It stumbles to finish before it can start
In silence, through canyons of motion we start
Beyond us these motions emerge from the dark
Now I'm tied up in circles
So I won't fall apart
Tied up and tangled strings on your heart
Strings on your heart...
I see it, the emotions surrounding your heart
I get it to stumble before it can start
Beyond us through canyons of motion we start
Beyond us through canyons emerge from the dark
Now I'm tied up in circles
So I won't fall apart
Tied up and tangled strings on your heart
Now I'm tied up in circles
So I won't fall apart
Tied up and tangled strings on your heart
Laughing gold carried on silver
Open robe waving by the trailer
This is paradise
Ivory whales high on corn bread
Wind-filled sails, fly to the door step
This is paradise
He little girl, hey young lady
I'm not wrong, don't say maybe
This is paradise
Out at night, gazing at the heavens
Hold on tight, hold on eleven
Twenty-one little pink salamanders pass me by tonight
Twenty-one little red tongues are flickering in my sight
Amphibious thoughts are flowing with the salamanders showing
Of the "touch of evil" tinted black and white
Seventeen fat ripe rats hold stacks of juniper pie aloft
Thirty-four clever rat hands are juggling tarts on high
These rodents know the craving for a slice, a sliver or shaving
No request for satisfaction is denied
Open wide, open wide
Twenty-one little pink salamanders pass me by tonight
Twenty-one little red tongues are flickering in my sight
These amphibians know the craving for a slice, a sliver or shaving
No request for satisfaction is denied
Open wide...
Another Moon
All these nights have made me crazy
I can't seem to come around
Days of hiding in the sunshine
Feeling nighttime's falling down
Oh, I see another moon over me
Oh, I see another moon over me
All these lies have got me thinking
Maybe this is just a thought
Soon my ship of thoughts is sinking
Slipping through the thinking knot
Oh, I see another moon over me
Oh, I see another moon over me
Pulling back the veil are monkeys
Hidden there are monkeys more
Someone spills a jar of honey
Sticky monkeys crawl the floor
Oh, I see another moon over me
Oh, I see another moon over me
Oh, I see another moon over me
Ice on the wings and we were flying
Sand in our eyes but we were seeing
Below us a crowd that wasn't buying
Watching us pass and not believing
No one else has seen the sights that crossed our eyes
Everything beyond these purple skies
No longer gone, we're back again
No longer gone, we were dead but now returned
No longer gone, though the tides are standing still
No longer gone, and our bridges are still burning
Marks on the floor where we were laying
Better explain what I'm saying
Put us to rest but we're not staying
Life is the price that we'll be paying
No one else has seen the sights that crossed our eyes
Everything beyond these purple skies
No longer gone, we're back again
No longer gone, we were dead but now returned
No longer gone, though the tides are standing still
No longer gone, and our bridges are still burning
Ice on the wings and we were flying
Sand in our eyes but we were seeing
Below us a crowd that wasn't buying
Watching us pass and not believing
No one else has seen the sights that crossed our eyes
Everything beyond these purple skies
No longer gone, we're back again
No longer gone, we were dead but now returned
No longer gone, though the tides are standing still
No longer gone
No longer gone, we're back again
No longer gone, we were dead but now returned
No longer gone, though the tides are standing still
how much do i owe you?
i'll pay but i don't want to
days of where i came from
in a restaurant in mexico
they told me not to drink the water
and not to touch the food
"all we got is pepsi cola
and we know that it won't hold you
but remember what we told you
no one else knows what's in store
mercy monster grant your doom
encase your brain in an airtight tomb
forget that the tree bears good fruit to eat
chop it down and burn it for temporary heat
I'm not putting you down, don't get me wrong
I realize the number of trips other than the one I'm on
but I demand the same and I most surely condone
that you all realize it and leave me alone
glowing members of the radiant mush
squeeze down hard and feel the bones crush
mechanical children in a metal town
open your eyes and watch the rats drown
there's never been a book of rules, and those
that say there is are fools, the rain falls
softly on the barren trees
across the ocean blows a little breeze
soon my factory's gonna shut down
I'll go back to the accepting ground
but until that day this walking mire
Some come away with an armload of hay
One sails to market on her sea
Some like to say they'll do it yesterday
One starts his car without a key
Some come to play
And they throw it all away
Love our children forever
Love our children forever
Some cut the trees and stack them in the sand
One shoots up into the sky
Some do what they please
The world's at their command
Some come to nothing by and by
Some come to play
And they throw it all away
Love our children forever
Love our children forever
Love our children forever
Love our children forever
Love our children forever
Love our children forever
There's a mountain, it's so high
You cannot see the top from the naked eye
That's the mountain where we live
Mountain of love we got so much to give
Gonna head on out to where the flowers bloom
Stop for awhile on the way to the moon
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
There's a river, it's so wide
You cannot swim across to the other side
That's the river where its lives
River of love it's got so much to give
Gonna head on out to where the flowers bloom
Stop for awhile on the way to the moon
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
There's a mountain, it's so high
You cannot see the top from the naked eye
That's the mountain where we live
Mountain of love we got so much to give
Gonna head on out to where the flowers bloom
Stop for awhile on the way to the moon
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
It's raining but I feel so fine
It's raining, raining bright sunshine
It's raining but I feel so fine
Been down to the corner
About once or twice
I don;t know but it's been nice
I ain't got no money
I can't buy a damn thing
That I might like
Let's go down to the dime store
One some moonless night
And look at the rain
I got a shirt that costs a dollar twenty-five
I know I'm the best dressed man alive
I put it on and head down to the local dive
To put the icing on extraordinary rides
When I am done I leave em happy but insane
For to look at the rain
I'm a messed up torn down
worthless bag of trouble
I take way too much
And I get right in your hair
I got a real sharp pin
With which to burst your bubble
This is trouble distribution
And I'm giving you your share
Won't tell you nothing cause that's my aim
But I love the rain
BAD LOVE
I see a robbery
That's nothing new
I see a robber
Broken right in two
Bad love
Took a little something
From the wonderland
Took a little lovin'
Love that burned his hand
Now here's the problem:
There's nothing wrong
Compared to no love
we're all in the gutter but I'm
looking the rats and
when I'm hungry I don't fuck around
and I'm not afraid to strew around
my scraps
here's a rat carcass for your front lawn
your personal possessions I don't give a darn
maybe you can keep it to keep warm
don't blame me for what goes out my window
I know it was out there in the first place
Jelly roll fire cracker
Chicken farmer's luck
Gutterball goldfish wedding
Rare new Siamese duck
Out size lavender basket
Linoleum money floor
Stubborn flexible hayride
Reborn plastic door
Liquified, liquified
Cowtown on the horizon
Boiled in twisted jade
Pearly wooden fish-fight
Calico cascade
Portable nylon lobster
Big bad southern brew
Dried up aluminum water
Spilling down on you
Liquified, liquified
Petrified lizard antlers
Asphalt orange wheel
Dog-eared alphabetic
Rubber turns to steel
Platinum vegetation
Blue-eyed chandelier
California milk dust
Freeze dried gerbil ears
Liquified, liquified, liquified, liquified
Tie me up
Get it right
Pull the knots
Good and tight
Toss me in a car
Take us out for a ride
This is almost like being alive
I'm not here, I'm nowhere
Someplace else, I don't care
Give me half an hour
Lock the door when you arrive
This is almost like being alive
Night is here
Time stands still
All things move outside will
Lock me in the shower
Stamp the door when you arrive
This is almost like being alive
Give me half an hour
Let me know when you arrive
This is almost like being alive
This is almost like being alive...
Oh, I'm drifting away
Just imagine being eaten by a giant doo-doo log with teeth
Fiery spider
Candy stars in bloom
Crystal fire fractures
Sparks into the room
Shadow seams have opened
Right inside the blaze to
Catch the spinning
Light...
Flaming river
Burning in the sky
Falls in silence
Over land to dry
Gathering the elephants
Turning light to day
Beneath the current
Light...
Luminescence
Essence of the will
Time and fire
Turning burning still
Upon the hour table
Dreams of light are laid
But I'm not sleeping
Light...
MELTDOWN
It's out of wire
It's undergrown
It's out of line
It's just a question
Of what you know
Meltdown...
Too good, too real
Five aces, a square deal
Meltdown...
It's what it is
N' what it's not
And all in all
It's just a question
Of what you got
One afternoon as dusk was nearing
I saw something I thought worth hearing
Something that's been around so long
Now listen to my new year's song
Who ever made up the calendar was wrong
It's new years all year long
Each year is a minute
Only full of the leaves in it
Now Daddy said this to his son
I know for sure this can be done
We'll cover up our tracks and then
Walk back the other way again
Who ever made up the calendar was wrong
It's new years all year long
Each year is a minute
Only full of the leaves in it
One day in a forest clearing
I saw different things appearing
And now it's been around so long
where do bad folks go when they die?
they don't go to heaven where the angels fly
they go down to the lake of fire and fry
won't see 'em again till the fourth of july
i knew a lady who came from duluth
she got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
she went to her grave just a little too soon
and she flew away howling on the yellow moon
where do bad folks go when they die?
they don't go to heaven where the angels fly
they do down to the lake of fire and fry
won't see 'em again till the fourth of july
now the people cry and the people moan
and they look for a dry place to call their home
and try to find some place to rest their bones
while the angels and the devils
Someday on the moonwalk everything was right
Bounced on the onfloat history of life
Somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
And it's good to see the happiness far
You're the grass, you're the trees
You're the thing that makes the wind
You're the roots of the sky
You're an island
You never move, you never sleep
You're the thought I cannot keep
You're a denessen of the deep
You're an island
Always in the never glades
Purple wings in five picture
Golden eyes and I
Somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
Where it's coming from no one can ever tell
You're the grass, you're the trees
You're the thing that makes the wind
You're the roots of the sky
You're an island
You never move, you never sleep
You're the thought I cannot keep
You're a denessen of the deep
You're an island
Somewhere on the earth now everything is cool
Drinking from the after flow splash becomes a pool
Somewhere in the after glow peeling it fell
Where it's coming from no one can ever tell
You're the grass, you're the trees
You're the thing that makes the wind
You're the roots of the sky
You're an island
You never move, you never sleep
You're the thought I cannot keep
You're a denessen of the deep
You're an island
You never move, you never sleep
You're the thought I cannot keep
You're a denessen of the deep
You're an island
You're the moon, you're the glass
Down stone the donkeys ass
Up above the heavens laugh
Sand man walks the islands
Over corals bay
Wishes balanced captive
Pushing time away
In love...
Disappearing pictures
Falling from the sky
Sandman in the shallows asking
How'd I ever get so much
In love...
In love...
Sometimes always captures
Always slips around
Love is linen shrouded
And floats like lion down
In love...
THE VOID
TOUCHDOWN KING
He's got a kind of stupefying attitude
You almost see those little wing shoes
Like a light, almost shining through the air
He's a touchdown king
The air is energy whenever he's around
With bolts of lightning from the ground
Like the wind, almost flying through the air
He's a touchdown king
He's had some hard breaks on the wrong side of the line
Time and time again he's out of time
Like the wind, almost flying through the air
He's a touchdown king
The air is energy whenever he's around
With bolts of lightning from the ground
Like a light almost shining through the air
Give me lots of money
A house upon a hill
Send me pretty women
Or threaten me and still
I'll come up to your house
And attempt to fix your sink
Do a mediocre job
As I'm leaving you will think
If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I will not answer when you call
If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I can't be counted on at all
My eye is on the pork
The pork is in the pan
If something needs a'doing
Well you know I'm not your man
If you're counting on me
You know I'll let you down
You can't be counting on me
I went outside, what did I see
I saw the sky, I saw some trees
I saw a girl, a beauty queen
I knew that I was a machine
There is a button that makes me go
She turned it on, she let me know
That she could be my gasoline
She knew that I was a machine
The wildest thing she's ever seen
I am a machine
There is a motor behind my eyes
She kicks it hard, I start to fly
I fly around, electrified
I only stop when something's fried
I'm telling you this ain't no dream
I am a machine
Now look at her, she's quite a thing
She makes me feel just like a king
The finest lines you ever seen
You know my baby is a machine
I'll satisfy your crazy dreams
I am a machine
Built down low and mean
Ooh, baby, I'm tellin' y'all
Hot pink volcano in the heart of the tornado
Is shaking the lemonade tree
Hot pink forest is backed by a furnace
That boils the lemonade free
And it all went down
Tomorrow is a number
Hot pink apple with the sweet golden dimple
Has stuck its claim in me
Hot pink rubber comes in every color
And every style that you please
Way off down the road
There comes Wagon Red
Found himself a nickel
Went straight to his head
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
I looked out my window
I saw Medium Joe
Lighting both ends of his candle
Glowing from head to toe
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
New car cherry tomato
Pulled off all the doors
Pulled off the steering wheel
Got the pedal taped to the floor
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
It's a swamp
Just a jungle
Tigers slipping through all the time
Snakes and alligators
Want to have a piece of what is mine
I don't pay
No attention
To the nastiness going down
Just above me
Within my reach
There's plenty of good things hanging 'round
Fruit on the vine
Ice water fountains
Fruit on the vine
Fruit on the vine
I reach up for an apple
I grab an orange by mistake
It don't mind, it's alright
In the jungle I get what I can take
Got a taste for
Watermelon
A taste for pomegranate too
Nevermind, I'll take a cherry
Any ripe and juicy one will do
My mouth is full
My face is messy
I'm feeling better with each bite
I take a break
For just a minute
But nothing satisfies
Praise the sight
Someone dropped a ball on me
Damn the wind
Giving life to sails
Human sin
Couldn't stir a fire in me
Damn the night
As the powders fail
And one beam of light is failing
From a single crazy eye
Someone burns a name on me
Damn the night
Painted on my eyes
Back to life
Passing through the wall to me
Feel the fire
Violet, black and white
Late tonight
Someone pinned a tail on me
Later on
Someone robbed me blind
Took my life
Took my box of chicken teeth
Take the blame
it's the only dance there is
you'll be judged when you're through
this is a dance contest
this is a marathon
do the electromud
you've got no choice
sensitize your body
do the electromud
come on don't you doubt us
we're all much too ignorant
if you've gotta go to the bathroom
I lost my mind a couple of gals ago
I left behind, never saw it go
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
I took the time a couple of days ago
To cross my mind, the only thing I know
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
I drove too fast, hit the brakes too soon
I broke my wheels, blew my afternoon
There's just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
I took the time, they never saw it go
I left behind the only thing I know
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
I have seen their information
On the lighter side of dumbness
I have heard the new statistics
And the stomping on the ground
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around
Waking up from my slumber
To misunderstand another
Though they call it terra firma
It dissolves beneath my feet
Looking through a pile of garbage
For some worthless piece of paper
That's been hidden there for me
To give meaning to my day
Going down to the desert
To the dirty filthy desert
I'll be crawling through the sand
For at least a couple days
Going down to the desert
ther are things owrth avoiding
And it always makes me cross
When those things get in my way.
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
climb, climb, i always climb
out of bed in the morning
on a mountain made of sand
and i know this doesn't rhyme
but the clutter on the table
has been getting out of hand
i know that you tried to see me through
but honey i'm still having trouble
finding out what's you
time, time, it's so sublime
well they say it's non-existent
but it's playing with my mind
and phone calls don't cost a dime
in the caverns of your feelings
where the sun will never shine
i know that you tried to see me through
but honey i'm still having trouble
finding out what's you
mine, mine, which things are mine?
well i thought i saw a few
before i found out i was blind
and i think i see a sign
and it's saying where to go
and when i get there what i'll find
i know that you tried to see me through
but honey i'm still having trouble
Got no head
It's a bucket with teeth
It likes to dream
It likes to sleep
It knows hot
It knows cool
It know what's what
It's no fool
Fill up the bucket with
Whatever you got
Make sure it's something
That the bucket likes a lot
Fly on a window
Looking through
Its tiny bucket
Knows just what to do
It goes over here
It goes over there
It takes its tiny bucket
Almost everywhere
I'm a buckethead
That's the truth
What I do
Sure shines through
And what goes in
Gets mixed around
And overflows
And makes this sound
Find us at night by our glowing embers
this band's curse inflicts all its members
gotta get stoned once in a while
we get stoned like its going out of style
just think of all the things we'd have
if we saved our money
but all our money's gone up in smoke
I know a place
Where the visitor always stays
Beauty runs 'em down
When they chance to cross that way
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I hear the (strain)
Out on that plain
It's anybody's fault
Open up your heart
In pours the salt
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I hear the strain
Open up your mind,
In pours the trash
Open up your mouth
And the lightning starts to flash
Through the night I hear that strain
Beauty's on my trail again
Try to run but my legs are lame
Through the night I feel the strain
Through the night, hear the strain
And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is
Something that'll never change
And when I shoulda' been gone a long time
Laughs and says I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is
Something that'll never change
Hey, I'm blind
Good, fine
Roll the time
On whose dime?
And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is
Below the road a dozen times now
Within the leeway, behind the sandhouse
The fascinating book of strings
Picks the leaves
That drift down between
Suns to lift up in between
They told some stories like you've never seen
Just about everything slips down in between
Mine to lift up and to follow
In the steps of fluids hollow
Without time we pick up all the streams
To find the leaves
That drift down in between
Once it seemed to be the way things are
now it seems the way that it will be
it's happening to me
it's happening to me
Once we use to love to lose our minds
now it seems the tables have been turned
my head is losing me
my head is losing me
Chorus:
Once we used to spit into the wind
it's coming back to me
we used to spit into the wind
it's coming back to me
Nothing rather rides a rusty mule
by a fire stop, the story tell
another one for free
I'm not listening to me
Chorus
(solo)
Here we go again of what's left of the fool on the floor
And here once again thru the cellar and out thru the back door
And I don't want a lose it tattoo'd on my thought on no more
It takes me back there, straight back to 1904
And they say awake no more
And they stay awake no more
The guns were cryin' and lowered the bar on the door
They hate thee hate thee because they are soul-lost and poor
And they say awake no more
And they stay awake no more
And here we go again thru what's left of a hole on the floor
And back thru the cellar and out of what's left of the back door
And here we go again thru what's left in the hole on the floor
He said, you don't even know
He just said you fell on your head
Through and out the doorway
I know, you were in a car crash
Oh my goodness, no
I saw him, out this door
Car is blown, and out of order
Now, all I can see
I'm in the middle, Someone's dead
Oh No! Get out now
Someone's dead
No, mercy, turn around
(Solo)
One small touch
Now that's all
This one's for everyone
No more of anything
Here before it's begun
The battle for the future has been won
Here before it's been told
The story of the future has been sold
Dust from scratch
Not for sale
It's free for everyone
This stylish currency
One small touch
Not for sale
It's free for everyone
Blue showers - stars open
New pennies for heaven
And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground
No feeling poor shooting
Find trouble so soothing
And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground
No body - pure science
No body - no essence
And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
As it kisses the ground
And the sun wants a place in the sky
As it spins all around
And the rain thinks that it was only dreaming
Of all the people I've known
This one, you, you really hit home
Half a dozen of one thing
And a decade of another
You tried to change the time
When you stole it from your mother
I'd put my hat on my head if I had one
Lord knows what he's got in store
Everything is shaped by a cross
And you'd do as easy as the next one
Better open my eyes now
Everything at the door
Best keep my eyes closed
I want to see the lights of Elenore
Of all the people left unknown
You taught me how to be alone
Elenore Moth-god, daughter of the hot-rod
Light like liquid moss covers up
You say you want nothing, that's allright
'Cause nothing is easy and nothing'll last you all night
In pieces and pieces and pieces go under the spell
They say you must be well
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing and kill you instead
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing
Night once again and the dust-devils rise
In dreams their fingers pry open your eyes
Little by little by little it all goes to hell
They say you must be well
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing and kill you instead
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing
Not sayin nothing, that hasn't been said
And nothing is easy to say so I'll say it instead
Little by little by little take down the light
They say you must be right
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing and kill you instead
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing
Let it go to your head
Say you want nothing and kill you instead
Let it go to your head
You're the one and the every one
I got a list of the things that you've done
Life's dirty and you know that it's true
Take a look at what is coming out of you
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
Little cheap and it's never untrue
We never met but I feel it in you
Ever think there is nothing that's wrong
In a world that is totally blasted
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
Little cheap and it's everyone
Never met but it's comin' out of you
Ever think that it's everything wrong
In a world that is totally plastered
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
My lamb, hovering in the moonlight
You love me, you love me, you love me
They say the good times are for hire
But not by everyone, everyone
They say the stars are made of fire
They'll light up anyone, anyone
There must be smoke in my eyes
I feel the flames but I can't see the light
And I know there's stars in the sky
But smoke has made it hard to see tonight
I found a secret I can't hide
And I'm keeping it, I'm keeping it
Don't know if I can sleep at night
Let me sleep on it, let me sleep on it
There must be smoke in my eyes
I feel the flames but I can't see the light
And I know there's stars in the sky
But smoke has made it hard to see tonight
There must be smoke in my eyes
I feel the flames but I can't see the light
And I know there's stars in the sky
But smoke has made it hard to see tonight
There must be smoke in my eyes
I feel the flames but I can't see the light
And I know there's stars in the sky
