Two rocks, a hammer
and some chains to
tie my hands
Two boots, the dirt, some food
some land to
dig it in
I cut the wood
tear down
build up for
moving in
A hole, the mud, a pipe
look out I'm
getting in
Wash your hands and clean the floor
Get some money for the store
Move the papers on your desk
Breathe some air into your head
Pop the bubble
concrete feet will
hold you here
Fall in the lake
then go fishing
Little Bear
Rest your bones
upon the seashore
Salt tears
I'll trade
this lucky key
the next time
you are near
Stop that buzzing over there
Stretch your bones and wash your hair
Change your strings
Dust your wings
Sing a song
Sharpen your sting
There's a baby in the bucket
of my eye
Plastic dolls holding Mary
will be enough
There are mermaids
they can't follow
on the shore
There are hermits
wet from swimming
drying off
Call the plastic wooden doves
Give them wings and they'll fly off
Lucky ones will get away
Smoking signals

I climb your highest mountain
Swim your deepest sea
I'll crawl across your desert
To feed you
I'll drive any mile
I'll fly through any storm
I'll sail the meanest river
To be with you
All for love, all your love
Give me your love, give me your love
I want your love, I need your love
All for love, all of...
I'll be your monkey
I'll dance and sing
I'll be your fool
Your lonely king
I'll gather your honey
I'll plant your seed
I'll be your harvest
Leave you my sting
All for love, all your love
Give me your love, give me your love
I want your love, I need your love
All for love, all of you
All of you, All of you, All of you
mmm ba, mmm ba
Your vigilante
Your immigrant
Your orphan
Your diplomat
I've been your jury
I've been your judge
I've been your murder
Your white dove
Well, I bleed for you
I cry for you
Well, I die for you
Burn out my eyes for you
All for love, all your love
Give me your love, give me your love
I want your love, I need your love
All for love, all of you
All of you, All of you, All of you

we'll just play this one out until it explodes
into a thousand tiny pieces
what's your story universe?
you are melody and numbers
you are shapes and you are rhythms
there are signs that we can learn
to place over the heavens
to predict how long they will burn
how long will i last?
can i turn up the heat?
what star am i circling?
what's circling me?
now my ebb and my flow
and my lack of control
turning on, turning off
saying yes but playing no
things keep changing
things keep changing
things keep changing
we'll just play this one out until it explodes
into a thousand tiny pieces
what's your story universe?
you are melody and numbers
you are shapes and you are rhythms
there are signs that we can learn
to place over the heavens
to predict how long they will burn
how long will i last?
can i turn up the heat?
what star am i circling?
what's circling me?
now my ebb and my flow
and my lack of control
turning on, turning off

Three in the morning closing in
Living in pain, living in sin
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
Red walls looking for distraction
Red walls looking for distraction
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
Simple simple man you're gonna make it out
Two Seabee, cigarette smoke
Sunday night is long and cold
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
It's all over man, you're gonna make it out
Broken hand, a broken wall
Broken love, crash and fall
Simple simple man you're gonna make it out
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
Get up girl, heard you sing
Get up girl, sing for me
Keep it simple now you're gonna make it out
It's all over man, you're gonna make it out
Fire is burning me inside out
Fire is burning me inside out
It's all over, just like that
A fire comes and you can't strike back
It's all over, just like that
A fire comes and you can't strike back
It's all over, just like that
When the fire comes you can't strike back now
It's all over, just like that
A fire comes and you can't strike back
Desire is burning me inside out

Don't you know
for a moment know
you think the world owes you
it don't owe you a thing
there's a man doing time
keeping a rosebush alive
He was wrongly accused
40 years and still survived
Don't you know
for a moment know
you think the world owes you
it don't owe you a thing
When it's given all it can
the best you must invent
when it's given all it can
the best you must go get
There's a rosebush inside
keeping a man alive
and we all need hope
like want the sunshine
You think the world owes you
You got to want the sunshine
It don't owe you a thing

no more politics, i know what's next
call me hypocrite, and burn down bridges
i got a river running through my neck
i got a river running through my heart
and all the blood, it spills, runs to the ocean
while the oceans rise up and mingle with the air
growing fingertips and semen-stained covers
singing mercy me, oh god, oh ecstasy, oh yeah, right there
fantastic chicks, strawberry hips
light me a candle, blow out my wish
unconscious id, turns toward the sun
knows where the warmth is, knows what it wants
wants to be filled in, wants to be filled up
i want to be reborn, i want to be re-loved
and all the babies born swim from the ocean
all the rain that falls runs into the sea
growing crazy mixed-up frogs that preach the coming of disaster
singing mercy me, oh god, oh hell and ecstasy
El Dorado blues, nowhere left to run
grandma got plutonium under the rug
fanatical bliss, fanatical fire
fanatics don't let their babies go dancing
you repress the beat, you repress the wine
your momma mistook you for a lion
she cut off your head, she don't know you're dead
and all the streets you ruled run red
mmm, the grass grows green where the homeless man sleeps
and the mystic sneezes rain [shawls](?), i like your polka-dotted panties
and the heat grows desire as a white back arches
under a hot blue sky, sunny afternoon in the park
ha la na na, ha na na na
la na na, na na na
etc. etc.
no more politics, i know what's next
you call me hypocrite, come on burn it down
no more politics, i know what's next
we're all hypocrites, come on burn it down
go on, burn it down

This is the way i feel
This is the rhythm
This is the i tone use
Let it go in you
Deep, raining blue
Straight, running through
you Let it into you
Let it move you
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Hip kids, serving coffee and juice
Dinosaurs control the news
I know a fine woman, she can sing the blues
and a drummer man, he always beats the truth
Watch out
Mad girl got it out for me
That’s life, though
Some sad, some sweet
Wanna build a big boat
and built to float
and if it rain falls
we can all hop on
What’s wrong
with your feet, start hopping
How long
until this boat starts rocking
What’s wrong
feel the beat start dropping
How long
until the earth starts shaking
What’s wrong
feel your hips start quaking
How long
'til your heart stops breaking
This is the way i feel
Ode to the rhythm*
Ode to the tone in use*
Let it go in you*
Let it go in you*
Oowapah
What’s wrong
with your feet, start hopping
How long
until this boat starts rocking
What’s wrong
feel the beat start dropping
How long
until the earth starts shaking
What’s wrong
feel your hips start quaking
How long
til your heart starts making
Love love love love
This is the way i feel
This is the rhythm
This is the tone i use
Let it go in you
Deep raining blue
Straight running through
you Let it into you
Let it move you
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
All aboard
This boat is leaving
All aboard
This boat is leaving
All aboard
This boat is leaving

Don't know that she knows
What it is she doing
Don't know that she knows
How deep this will cut
Can't believe you really think
We'll make it through this oh
You fucked me right up
Just fucked me right up
All alone in a house that we were living
All that love just walked out the door
She's off running around
With a brand new man, oh
You fucked me right up
Just fucked me right up
I got a long way to travel
With a heaviness taking hold
It takes along night
When you unravel at home
Don't know that she knows
What it is she doing
Don't know that she knows
We are throwing it all away
Tell me how you think
We're gonna make it through this oh
You fucked me right up
Just fucked me right up
Don't know that she knows
Or even if it matters
The cut's been made
The dice have been thrown
What was our love worth
If it's something we could gamble oh
You fucked me right up
Fucked me right up
Goodbye goodbye

Drink up, drink up
Go on empty your cup
It'll be filled again
Put it down, come down
Feet on the ground
Where you're at's where you stand
Oh it is true, I am blue
Lay off of my shoes
Whatever you do
Pop art, pop tart
Here I am in the bars
Again and again
Be me, no me
City she screams
Choose me, no me
Old shoes, I got the blues
I got no money for to choose
but they say that I am free
I'm free to sell all I am
Move where I can
and be as I happy as I can be
If I were a diamond in the sun
I would shine onto everyone
To be free
Here I am, here I am
Again and again

Calling all cars
Calling all cars
Calling all broken hearts
Come on go out tonight
Shake it out
We're in the same boat
You and I
Two broken hearts
Big wide eyes
So much love to give
Sure am glad I ran into this
You in your T-Rex t-shirt
Your soulful eyes
You shook me out for a night
You took me out for a night
I wanna thank you
Thank you
I wanna thank you
Thank you
Calling all cars
Calling all cars
Calling all broken hearts
Come and go out tonight
Tear it down
Shake it out
I wanna thank you
Thank you
I wanna thank you
Thank you
Sweet morning love
Raining morning love
With your sashay
and your bright smile
and you're sexy
with your fine style
Come and go out tonight
Shake it out
Come and go out tonight

Days like today
try and plan they go their own way
Boom boom goes the day
hear the radio, TV, newspaper
Skyscraper on the pavement
Hey, hey, hey...
Everyone says just a little word wrong
Everyone says just a little word wrong
you're in babylon
Boom boom goes the day
hear the radio, TV, newspaper
Skyscraper on the pavement
Hey, hey, hey...
Everyone says just a little word wrong
Everyone says just a little word wrong
you're in babylon
This here babylon

He has a flowering spade
Growing out of his chest
Full of magic and healing
She is a flowering spade
As she moves and she sways
You can see that she feels it
She's off to dance with the goat boys
He's off to sail through your wide open ocean
She learned to sing from a siren
He learned to swim from a drop in the water
There are words there are signs
Close your eyes there is magic inside you
Hear this box in your mind
building frames for to trace your desires
She learned to cook from a sailor
He learned to cry in an elephant circus
She found a recipe for flying
He's growing flowers to understand dying
Rejoice
Rejoice
There's no such thing as dying
Rejoice

You traveled for many miles on the whim of adventure
Lost in love you were running from most everything
Now things no longer weigh what they used to
The gold you buried in your backyard's turned to gray
You ever feel like a cow for the city
Feeding off the sewers and the highwires
Can anyone find a map to the beginning
The band slipped out the window they're floating away
You came out swinging your eyes were on fire
They left you spinning you turned to rain
Like rain the pain will rise up around you
Like rain the pain will fall and roll away
Well the onion of your heart starts me crying
Feeding of the new ends for a new life
The ashes from the fire keep me breathing
Fix my broke down wagon let's ride
Oooh ahh...
You ever feel like a cow for the city
Can anyone find a switch and turn these lights down
When the streets gets so loud will we stop hearing

Stepping out with those midnight rounders
Stepping out to the morning's light
Stepping out with those midnight rounders
Watch the stars fall from the sky
Dance the night, morning sailor
Dance the night, diamond eyes
Dance the night, morning sailor
Cock will crow and sun will rise
Stepping out in your cloak of sadness
Stepping out when you lost your light
Deep encasing the drops of water
When the music just tears you up
Dance the night, morning sailor
Dance the night, holy(?) ground
You are your own beat
You are the answer
There is light in you
Just look around
Come come come come come come
Come come come come come come
Come come come come with me...
Come come come come come come
Come come come come come come
Come come com come with me...
Stepping out with those midnight rounders
Stepping out to the morning's light
Stepping out with those midnight rounders
There is light for you

Come with me a while
Sit with me a while
All that I have is time
Drink with me a while
Sip tea a while
All that I have is time
We could find ourselves a bottle
And wander the streets like rows
Smile and wave at all those passing by
Off to make fair homes
Walk with me a while
Talk with me a while
All that I have is time
Come with me a while
Just be a while
All that I have is time
We could find a willow tree
And climb the branch absurd
Sing to all those down below
Warbling like two cuckoo birds
Crazy cuckoo birds
Oh na na...
Ba ba ba, mmm na na...
All the laughing
All the loving
All the fighting
All the fussing
All the crying
All the dying
All that I have is time
All that we have is time
Walk with me a while
Talk with me a while
Sit with me a while
Sip tea a while
Come with me a while
Just be a while
All that I have is time
