Baby, I'm really sorry
To break your dream
When it's so early
Headlights
On the windowpane
They're getting lost
In the light of day
Tomorrow is today
And soon my ship will sail
Away from here
To walk a howling sealane
Stay for me
Your love is life
For love is land
Baby, just hear my story
Before I leave
Before we write the end
Standing, across the ocean stream
I'll need to know
I'll need your country then
Tomorrow and today
You keep my landfall safe
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sealane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sealane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
Your love is life, for love is land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sealane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sealane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
Your love is life, for love is land
Love is land
Love is land

The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
Another boy was sliding up the hallway
He merged perfectly with the hallway,
He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway
The boy looked at johnny, johnny wanted to run,
But the movie kept moving as planned
The boy took johnny, he pushed him against the locker,
He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in johnny
The boy disappeared, johnny fell on his knees,
Started crashing his head against the locker,
Started crashing his head against the locker,
Started laughing hysterically
When suddenly johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by
Horses, horses, horses, horses
Coming in in all directions
White shining silver studs with their nose in flames,
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,
Got to lose control and then you take control,
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that,
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi
Life is filled with holes, johnny's laying there, his sperm coffin
Angel looks down at him and says, “oh, pretty boy,
Can't you show me nothing but surrender ? ”
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,
Taped to his chest there's the answer,
You got pen knives and jack knives and
Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred
Then he cries, then he screams, saying
Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain
And I fill my nose with snow and go rimbaud,
Go rimbaud, go rimbaud,
And go johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi
There's a little place, a place called space
It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks,
Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that,
You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that,
And the name of the band is the
Twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes,
Twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes, twistelettes
Baby calm down, better calm down,
In the night, in the eye of the forest
There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair,
I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair,
I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that
Up there -- there is a sea
Up there -- there is a sea
Up there -- there is a sea
The sea's the possibility
There is no land but the land
(up there is just a sea of possibilities)
There is no sea but the sea
(up there is a wall of possibilities)
There is no keeper but the key
(up there there are several walls of possibilities)
Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities.
(up there)
I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me
I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
(in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee
(on the screen)
And I looked at johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame
(in the heart of man)
The waves were coming in like arabian stallions
Gradually lapping into sea horses
He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat
(the spoon)
And let it deep in
(the veins)
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening in my hand
And I felt the arrows of desire
I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour
But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area
(go rimbaud go rimbaud go rimbaud)
And go johnny go and do the watusi,
Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi ...
Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining
Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse
And my fingers all entwined through the air,
I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers,
(I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it)
The hairs were like wires going through my body
I I that's how i
That's how i
I died
(at that tower of babel they knew what they were after)
(they knew what they were after)
[everything on the current] moved up
I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth,
Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility
Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities
There's no land but the land
Looked at my hands, and there's a red stream
That went streaming through the sands like fingers,
Like arteries, like fingers
(how much fits between the eyes of a horse? )
He lay, pressing it against his throat (your eyes)
He opened his throat (your eyes)
His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad pituitary glands
The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) pitched that nobody heard,
No one heard that cry,
No one heard (johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat,
(his fingers)
Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly,
And so he seized the first
(his vocal chords shot up)
(possibility)
(like mad pituitary glands)
It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate
(there is nothing happening at all)
And go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep
Saw this sweet young thing (fender one)
Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter
In the sheets
There was a man
Dancing around
To the simple
Rock & roll

I leave town, take a ride
Maybe see the countryside
All green and gold
I'll breathe a better air I'm told
The city life is fine
But is seems like all the time
It's and uphill climb
And I never draw the line
This land, this land
The soil turns to sand and stone
You could build a home
A little place to be alone
I'm worried about the world
I'm worried too about a girl
That's nothing new
And there's too much else to do
Take a man, any man
Then I start to understand
What he believes
Becomes the very land he sees
And it sets him free
Tranquility, a way to be
I'm gonna clear my head
Walk along the riverbed
I'm gonna play a song
And hope it finds her further on
I cleared my head
Heard just what the river said
I made a song
It'll find you further on
Now I'm far away
From the troubles of the day
Another way
Another way to pray
Take a man, any man
Then I start to understand
What he believes
Becomes the very land he sees
This land, this land
Here it is, I understand
What I believe
Becomes the very land I see
It sets me free

I never could sleep well
out on the water
But I'm too heartsick to be awake
for any chatter
Days of falling gray I see
Have risen to my knees
And the smell of rotting clothes
Has set into the ladder
The air has kept us drunk enough
And the dancing pennywhistle
Has filled us with unspoken fear
That our course has been a certain
But if we live to touch the sand
We won't care if we don't understand
And none of us would dare admit
That this has not been worth it
I bring no name with me
And the burden is my jewel
That I lay upon the wall
The gate of the city
And if I finally walk on through
I'll leave it open for you
But don't ask for kindness or silver
I won't have any
So I hold myself in place
My foot against the braces
Rest my head upon my chest
Holding each arm with the other
And if I dream of better times
- Ahead of me or left behind -
I'll curse the drink that gives me hope

sunset's painting god in amber
and we can't even talk
sure, it's good to be away
but where we're going, we probably coulda walked
i know we could be stronger
and hold on a little longer
if we tried
thought we were being clever
when we promised us forever
guess we lied
get me out of here
take me out of here
i need to touch down
wrap my head around (what happened here)
fate and what it brings
breaking everything's
not what we planned
i don't understand
wake me up when we land
if we could we'd turn around in shame
go back to where we've been
just leave it all to falling stars
and some caution in the wind
my conscience fears that
six long years of silent tears
won't sleep on this tonight
sing the saddest songs
and all night longs
but a hundred wrongs still don't make a right
BRIDGE
we're past the part
where i lift you up
and you try to calm me down
the shattered world below
looks serene

Homeland we're leaving, we are retrieving
Our right to stand alone, we cannot stay here
Fear not what must be, we must cross the sea
On our own
Standing alone
Always we got by on our own.
Under stormy skies through rain, wind and raging sea
Head into the Unknown, leave behind.
Bonds that may bind, circumstance that keep us behind
Rise to meet the day hold high torches passed through time.
Fear not what you might find.
Ver sterk mín sál á køldu náttarvakt
Har eingi altarjós til gudar brenna
Har hvør ein vón av fannkava var takt
Og hjarta ongan hita meir kann kenna
Ver stór mín sál sum rúmdar kalda tøgn
Ið eina er, tá sloknar lívsins søgn.
Roads are long and oceans far and wide
Nights are cold and skies are dark and gray
Ride the autumn wind and evening tide
Time is long and land is far away
Out on the sea
Waiting for me
Storms are raging violently
Still we sail on silently.
We seek to tame the torrents and tides
Master the Mights
Sail with me across the raging sea
Write your tale into eternity
Still we've sighted only sea till now
As we sail I sometimes wonder how
Rest in the twilight, I have gained insight
Since the deeds of younger days
Now I'm wiser, raise my eyes gaze across the sea
And recall when we sailed away
Sought a new way
How I longed for far far away
In the sun set glow
I dreamt of another Land
A thousand years from that day.
Cattle die
Kinsmen will die
I myself must die too someday
All are mortal men, but fair fame will never fade
For the man who wins it.
Ver sterk mín sál á mjørkantungu ferð
Har tættar fylkjast um teg gráar gátur
Tín barnaflokkur - úttærdur hann er,
Og sárur kennist hans sólsvangi grátur
Ver stór mín sál í dagsins royndar stund
Holl veitir nátt hin dreymaleysa blund.
Roads are long and oceans far and wide
Nights are cold and skies are dark and gray
Ride the autumn wind and evening tide
Time is long and land is far away
Out on the sea
Waiting for me
Storms are raging violently
Still we sail on silently.
We seek to tame the torrents and tides
Master the Mights
Sail with me across the raging sea
Write your tale into eternity
Still we've sighted only sea till now

Land band, land in the sand
And man and land
Stand unafraid to be speachless
You know that you don't know
You will understand
Finally that you don't understand
Bunch on behind you and you start explaining
No reason to explain,no need
Land band, land in the sand
And man and land
And you ,and me,and you,and you
We don't greet for servants of former
Serpentine , so we sing

The homeless are a problem for only one reason
Their presence raises the question
Who owns the Land?
The homeless are a problem for only one reason
Their presence raises the question
Who owns the Land?
Who owns the Land?
Who owns the Land?
Could it be millions of dead indians
Who owns the Land?
Could it be 6 million Jews?
Who owns the Land?
Is there a connection
Who owns the Land?
To our imperialism
Who owns the Land?
Won't someone please tell me.
Who owns the Land?
'cause I am just a white man
Who owns the Land?
I live in the Americas
Who owns the Land?
How did I get here?
This morning I was awoken, by a man with a hand gun
He's got a book of rules that says,
I ain't got no right to sleep
This morning I was awoken, by a man with a hand gun
He's got a book of rules that says, I ain't got no right to be
Who owns the Land?
Who owns the Land?
Is there a connection?
Who owns the Land?
To my daily eviction
Who owns the Land?
And the extermination
Who owns the Land?
Of the Native American
Who owns the Land?
Won't someone please tell me.
Who owns the Land?
'cause I am just a white man
Who owns the Land?
I live in the Americas
Who owns the Land?
How did I get here?
Who owns the Land?
Who owns the Land?
Who owns the Land?
Maybe it's you and me
Who owns the Land?
Maybe it's not
The corporations
Who owns the Land?
Maybe the Earth owns itself
Maybe it's the Native American
Ecocide,
Genocide,
