Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae. The term includes some members of the red, brown and green algae. Seaweeds can also be classified by use (as food, medicine, fertilizer, industrial, etc.).
A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. As these three groups are not thought to have a common multicellular ancestor, the seaweeds are a polyphyletic group. In addition, some tuft-forming bluegreen algae (Cyanobacteria) are sometimes considered as seaweeds — "seaweed" is a colloquial term and lacks a formal definition.
Seaweeds' appearance somewhat resembles non-arboreal terrestrial plants.
The stipe and blade are collectively known as the frond.
Two specific environmental requirements dominate seaweed ecology. These are the presence of seawater (or at least brackish water) and the presence of light sufficient to drive photosynthesis. Another common requirement is a firm attachment point. As a result, seaweeds most commonly inhabit the littoral zone and within that zone more frequently on rocky shores than on sand or shingle. Seaweeds occupy a wide range of ecological niches. The highest elevation is only wetted by the tops of sea spray, the lowest is several meters deep. In some areas, littoral seaweeds can extend several miles out to sea. The limiting factor in such cases is sunlight availability. The deepest living seaweeds are some species of red algae.
Plot
Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin, much to Tracy's mother Edna's dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With all of the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she's going to integrate the show.....without denting her 'do!

Plot
'Pleasantly Plump' teenager Tracy Turnblad achieves her dream of becoming a regular on the Corny Collins Dance Show.

It's way beyond Grease.
Baltimore, 1962. The heyday of hair-dos and hair-don'ts, Heartthrobs and hefty girls, hot dates and hip talkers, beatniks and hair hoppers, and one magical potion that keeps it all together.
Get Back To Your Roots!
1962... JFK was in The White House... John Glenn was in orbit... Cadillacs had fins... Beehives were in... And girls really knew how to tease!
A Comedy By John Waters

The world was in a mess... but their hair was perfect!!
A movie with a beat you can laugh to!
Amber Van Tussle: Do you relate to the music of Leslie Gore?::Nadine: Look, she ain't no James Brown... but I can dance to Lawrence Welk if I have to.
L'il Inez: Segregation never, integration now.
Prudence: Penny Pingleton, you know you are punished. From now on you're wearing a giant P on your blouse EVERY DAY to school so that the whole world knows that Penny Pingleton is permanently, positively, punished.
Beatnik Chick: When I'm high, I AM Odetta. Let's get naked and smoke.
Motormouth Maybelle: Oh Papa Tooney. We've got a Looney.::Prudence Pingleton: Don't you try to cast one of your voodoo spells on me, native woman.
Geometry Teacher: Tracy Turnblad, once again your ratted hair is preventing another student's geometry education.::Tracy Turnblad: It's feathered, not ratted.::Geometry Teacher: Whatever you call it, it's a hair-don't.
Tracy Turnblad: I'm an integrationist. We shall overcome someday.::Beatnik Chick: Not with that hair, you won't.
Tracy Turnblad: How do you get your hair so straight and so flat?::Beatnik Chick: With an iron, man. I play my bongos, listen to Odetta, and then I iron my hair, dig?
Wilbur: Tracy, we all have responsibilities in life. You may think owning the Hardy-Har joke shop is all drudgery; unwrapping dribble glasses, checking doggy doo, but I wuv it.
Amber Von Tussle: Aren't you a little fat for the show?::Tracy Turnblad: I'm sure many of the other home viewers out there are pleasantly plump or chunky.::Amber Von Tussle: Come on. The show's not filmed in Cinemascope.
may's lungs caught their first cold
the city she lives in as foreign as rain
burns all of her money
i could give a fuck 'cause it's not my pain
so they make movies
about growing up catholic
and they give explanations till i - fall asleep
have one why not try all
the moss starts to grow if you waves too long
old friends are on trial
finding the chases - to stomach the strong
it's not so bad you're not the losing one
in fairness i must regret
still the whole seems to miss the sum
in fairness i seem to forget
have one try
moss grows round
ignore fate
last one sowed
have one try
moss grows round
just ignore fate
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
shovel dug into the ground
and the soil forms in mounds
then the roots thrown into fire - burnt down
weathered skin perspires
as he builds my world
don't feel - hazed off
the sequel is lame
this land's played out
not a spots the same
these hands can't build
if to save my life
respect is key
it's all that matters
cemont now can pour
foundations holds in floor
quick as life was bought - ask less
footing that was right
may's lungs caught their first cold
the city she lives in as foreign as rain
burns all of her money
i could give a fuck 'cause it's not my pain
so they make movies
about growing up catholic
and they give explanations till i - fall asleep

still the whole seems to miss the sum

moss grows round
ignore fate
last one sowed
have one try
moss grows round
broken down on the highway side
gone belly up every time we tried
it reminds me of things I know
those days are gone
it's time to let go
let go
it's too much to hold
going out with a plastic crown
something to do when you're not around
it reminds me of things I know
those days were long
it's time to let go
I could live on nothing
all possessions sold
lost in promised ruin
said the circles talking again
earthquake call and the sharks move in it
tell me what can we say
they said nothing
trembles and falls from the sky
aim in the circles arrised
and then all stops
we can be the last humans
burn the science and moves to camp by
skies are now, to gives direction
i got think the world goes to
back again itself for retire
they said it attempted to century,
should I've been told beyond the way
we can all use a change
a change to something
rumbles in glow for the glowed
speaking in hell of a close
and then all stops
we can be the last humans
burn the science and moves to camp by
skies are now, to gives direction
i got think the world goes to
back again itself for retire
...last humans... last humans...
can't stop, can't slow down
can't stop, can't slow down
don't you mind, don't you mind what we cannot say
in case you know that, your hate, you're nervous anyway
it's not a newbie
that have to never's fall's
to what i wake for
to what you ask for
and then all stops
we can be the last humans
burn the science and moves to camp by
skies are now, to gives direction
i got think the world goes to
Treed like a fox at the end of a chase
Full shackled walk in a stumbling pace
Lease out a country based in a style
My neighbor spits as he gives us away
Do you wanna give up all your rights so that you can
Feel safe in the world that they bought for you.
Talking only through the side of her mouth
When she says everythings "ok".
I think I caught you sucking on a cigarette
In the drug free zoning your company.
Deductions coming from the back of my check
Were to serve and protect.
So baby you work for me.
Youre at the age where well make up your mind.
Your quality help thats so hard to find.
Five dollar hours clocking you time.
Swing hammer- what can you give me?
No stopping till we get to the last.
Still coughing chunks from the mines of the past.
But now youre giving me more and more.
Giving me.
Backside safe,
But its not safe at all.
I feel safe livin for popular taste.
Backside safe,
the lack in the time, lost in the airpot, all confusing
bright of the lights, crazy designs
awsering machine checks for the hijacks, sees right thru
no making jokes, security lines
we all wait for
hours and hours
wait for the skies, spot for the landing, night comes
easy
go back to sleep and look for the ride
roomed in a ball, no one can see me, need the platform
talk to the place for someone to hide
we all wait for
hours and hours
they're against again, changing time
from the moment caught in time
sun will rise but i can't see now, sun will rise
now you're standing on lazy clouds
splendid authority
absent sound
the lack in the time, lost in the airpot, all confusing
broken and sick, ready to fly
we've been walking through the hard times
see the good news vanish way before it's shown
but I don't fake a smile
cuz I know the time is going
take advantage while - while the chance is good
you got sad eyes
never realized
lost your balance
got no talent
broke and flat it lets you know that
yeah, you got the hard times on your side
kicks you down
more down than you ever been before
take a second try
you'll be home before you know it
take advantage while
while you're young
and while the chance is good
policeman writes me up a big fine
he's filling up my ear with talk about the law
but I don't hear his hassle
cuz I know that he's an asshole
Tried to stay still
The schoolyard's so apocalyptic
Reject your will
You'll find it's not your own
Starting to seem
Your love may not be worth the roof that
Covers your head and stands for such a threat
No trust at all
How could they expect less than a half-truth
Can't speak a word
Mom's such a matriarch
Squint tighter and they're gone
There's much less noise
It costs so much to make the phone ring
No sound of cars
The highway's far away
When you place blame
Try to look past all their badges
If you squint hard
you'll find some beauty in it all
Squint tighter and they're gone
3,5,0,1,2,5, Go!
I was there in the backstage
When first light came around
I grew up like a changeling
To win the first time around
I can see all the weakness
I can pick all the faults
Well I concede all the faith test
Just to stick in your throats
3 1 G, 3 1 G, 3 1 G
I hung around in your soundtrack
To mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason
To kill the three lies for one
I can see all the cold facts
I can see through your eyes
All this talk make no contact
No matter how hard we tried
3 1 G, 3 1 G, 3 1 G
I can still hear the footsteps
I can see only walls
I slide into your man-traps
With no hearing at all
I see just contradiction
Had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense
To make belief you were right
3 1 G, 3 1 G, 3 1 G
she's got bright and crazy style
like a neon candy girl
and her parents think she's wild
but they don't even know
that her boyfriend spent the last night
in her bedroom without clothes
crawl thru the window
and you can crawl right thru
the window high yeah yeah
stay with me
until the light until the morning light
you'll stay inside
and you'll sneak back out at light
let's ditch this town tonight
stop this wasting time
she's heard all the vicious lies
about the week she ran away
teardrops from her eyes
from the awful things they say
but soon will come the nightfall
and the whole thing fades away
Clear vision in what you say
Is you lost yourself in the deadlock
In which you were raised
Recognition of a hand that fed
Mouths that bled, Biting back today
Clear vision of a boast and brag
Cuts me off and leaves me dead on the way
Keeping busy by causing skies to dark with flies
But think of all that you praised
Give it right back and get back to your promises
Give it right back and get back to your promises
Or damn us all to hell
Crush us all
Still lost in the brag
This season you'll raise your gun and knock out one
Frame the head at your place
Sick sleazy and weighs a ton, now you're undone
Stuck up to your waste
Look over the hills you dwell
You look like hell in the window holding you face
Cars engine is cold and sad
You're driving bad
Talking into,
Get out of my way
Here's to the roust
Glass over morning
Till you see that just like the old days, who owns the
town
Talk to you on the telephone
She lives at least 3.000 miles away
You came in the light wasn't on
Stare at me with flat dismay
Smile
Scream
Always so extreme
Your slate's far from clean
To step away just now
Your slate's far from clean
Always running out
Drop a line
And try to reassure
It's not a contest to see favors weigh
Counting dimes is such an awful bore
Escape the argument I'll pay
Smile
Scream
Lose all self-esteem
Smile
Scream
Not listening
At the start
I'm sure I instigated
My sense of timing never keen
For sake of sight
We'd better find an ending
Verse 1:
Sometimes it's seems hard to see I'm there for you.
And sometimes it's hard for you to see I'm there with you.
Be strong, hold on and know, I'm right there in the middle.
Chorus:
When you cried, (I was there).
When you were sad, (I made you happy).
When you were alone, (I was your friend),
I'm in the middle.
When you were in need, (I provided)
When you couldn't see, (I led the way)
(I was there to see you, see you through it all)
I'm right there in the middle, in the middle of.
Verse 2:
Sometimes I know in my heart that you really love me.
But other times I must question your faith.
Don't give up, always love God,
don't give in (I'm right there in the middle)
Chorus 2:
When you cried, (I was there).
When you were sad, (I made you happy).
When you were alone, (I was your friend),
I'm in the middle.
When you were in need, (I provided)
When you couldn't see, (I led the way)
(I was there to see you through it all)
I'm right there in the middle, in the middle of.
(In the middle of your pain and your heartache),
in the middle, in the middle of.
Bridge:
I was there in the middle of your pain,
I was there when they tried to take your hope away,
I was there when you didn't know your right from wrong.
I was there when your friends walked out on you,
I was there when you didn't know what to do,
when you searched and found all of your family was gone.
When you couldn't see your night from day,
Oh I was there when you couldn't find your way,
I was there from the beginning until the very end,
I was there, I was there, it was me.
I was there I heard every plea,
I'll come running everytime.
Ending:
Be strong, (just hold on and know)
(I'm right there in) in the middle, in the middle of,
I'm right there, right there in the middle of.
Rejects the state of mind
Try weeding out decision
I'd love to help you
But it's not my problem
It's not the tone of your voice
It's just that you're alive
And unless you've been examined
Trust is not mine
Sit and watch the world fall down
Crumble into loss
Martyr wrote across my wall
Supervision costs
Tax on what I say
How small my world's become
Tax on what I say
Mistakes they cost a ton
Theory hangs from your mouth
Spout out those chapter headings
If there's a one on sense
Then you might read it
This text is overrated
Along with overboring
But you read it again for memorizing
Listen too long
Know what he's done
Don't have the time
I'll be the lesser one
Reeking of school book art
You must explain to me
The worth of explanation
But I could care less
About reclaiming God
Or any other concept
I think i'd just rather
don't feel bad
but what is there to feel
the tv's on and nothing's real
in the pale blue light
spinning like a wheel
take me with you when you steal
i forgot what it meant
numb is the thing we do
i'll regret what was said
letting the poisons through
what are we next to do?
what are whe taking for it go away?
hang me on the wall
until the thruth's revealed
think of all the time to kill
empty in your eyes
not an ounce of will
falling deeper further still
span out now
but i won't bid this place goodbye
neither can live on work on this side
forget how not to sleep alone
skinned my back when i met you
go far away
another month to regress through
those feelings never stay
i think that we have made an oversight
i feel proud
that you found success where you tried
real excuses for why i exist here
i'm hummored
by the hill that was pitched
it's wise now
and it's good now and then to confine
there's been worse responsabilitybreakneck
i'll have this
throw the printing that's not fit
these jerks like us are cause of it
try and document the dullest corners of a life
do you feel content with better days and better moments
should i grasp a hold
rips out the sonnet where he dies
repeat nod it off
my peers become components
and in out place
let's create a void
under the third card
you'll find my gold
it's such a bum
the slow see nothing
see up as face less waste offs
tip the tourist hard
gave him the story worth the dime
strtch out in feeble days
better days and better moments
should i identify
the lack of a knowledge of a world
easy life resides
beneath the shell and turn the keys
aaaaaaaaay could wait so long
for better days and better moments
aaaaaaaaay
start in the middle and i'll unfold it
press on my back a while i'll unfold that too
act just like a child shoud be scolded
if things aren't even they'll be tied
exits come and go by tenfold
hands wave goodbye
plans are bought then thrown and resold
i know the drive like morning
reason for the change of address
numbers have gone
everything that's worth their keepsake
can all fall to eyesore
press in the middle and i'll unfold it
press on my back a while i'll unfold that too
act just like a child shoud be scolded
if things aren't even they'll be tied
so let's pace the shells awhile
and chalk the craks to trial
so let's pace the shells a while
and chalk the cracks to trial
the line across just makes me nervous
it's not for free
i think of it less as a service
more like an albatross
so let's pace the shells awhile
I drive a yellow Volvo, '86 submarine
Someone's behind me in an Escalade
Trying to blind me with their high beams
I make a left, I'm the road to nowhere
Heading west, the sky is purple streaks
The sun is setting in my chest
I feel warm inside so I'm going for a ride
Put your picture on my dashboard
'Til my fate and your collides
Seaweed washed upon the shore
Severed locks
Of he who walks the ocean floor
I drive a yellow Volvo, '86 submarine
Rims like Tibetan prayer
Wheels and my tank is filled with dreams
Fuck the game
I practice being in the passing lane
And watch the price of gasoline
Rise with the price of fame
I'm immortal, I render unto Caesar to be cordial
He sees a wooden casket
Where I see a glowing portal
Check your engine
Looks like you're running on the blood of Indians
Put some turquoise in that Rolls Royce
Before you crash into a pendulum
Seaweed washed upon the shore
Severed locks
Of he who walks the ocean floor
I drive a yellow Volvo, '86 submarine
I drove it under water, guided by my own high beams
Nothing's left
Witnessed the demolition of the west
I feel like a little kid hiding in my mothers' dress
I'm in space, the lone ambassador of every race
The starfish that discover me
Plant their flags into my face
I'm a clone of every written and unwritten poem
A shark pulls up beside me fingering beads
And chanting om, I can't believe it
I never really thought that sharks would need it
I thought they'd make their peace
Bite it, bleed it, kill it, eat it
But I was wrong, every living being deserves a song
And our passions must be rationed
Tell myself that I don't need that
Ask why and down the list I'd race
List filled to validate
I don't want this taste
This taste is all but sweet now
Sweetness is why I came to beg
I don't know what she said
Throw it all to waste
Escapes that I always rely on
Feed my moment
Escapes that I always rely
Sit and sigh I fall
Try to relieve and just buy on vanished moments
Escapes that I always rely sit and sigh
Never thought that this could happen
Never thought I'd be this course and stained
Plans of mine to blame
Noticing the case
This case is all but through now
Through trying to make sense of this stamp
There's no sense for years
It's relative to taste
Seems to be some fault in design
And I used to not care at all
Now I understand your problems are mine
Now it hurts when I fall
Hung from a two-bit pole
You played upon forgotten shame
Remember so vivid
Oh it's easy to trace
Retrace steps back from glory
Glory in my mouth and in my walk
Wasn't in my thoughts
the older you might get
and quickly this might come
the less that you regret
the longer you'll stay strong
it's nothing you can fix
at first they had me conned
fell victim to the trick
telling stories wrong
remember me when I was shoved up
against the sky
remember me when all the long lived
habits
you never really showed me love
at least you tried
I hit the top the sky went black and you
were gone
I listen to her words
they seem to form a song
she said it's time to live
the force of concentration
from the roman states
lost in litigation
I don't wanna wait no more
dragging out the issues
recognizing fate
nothing will dismiss you
no way no more
I got my paper
but can't escape
too many takers
don't wanna wait
red tape parade
I see you skid
scar
scrape
chafe
bleed
burn
first you're pushing forward
then you're pulling back
morality is lowered
and I won't cut the slack no more
giving it an answer
waiting for the name
it's growing like a cancer
I'm not staying to receive a plaque
Inscribed with children's rhymes
Forgot I always say too much
No rewards can be mine
Good devotees smile and shriek
To shrug off all their doubt
My God where did I get this smug
All instincts point me out
I'm rotting on corner street
Bypass the fountain
I stall and sleep all day
Guilt cloaks my head
Is this the final time
It might as well be
Forget the checks
Forget the plans
The keys hang from her gown
Sure I'm scared but more of death
Tried to stay still
The schoolyard's so apocalyptic
Reject your will
You'll find it's not your own
Starting to seem
Your love may not be worth the roof that
Covers your head and stands for such a threat
No trust at all
How could they expect less than a half-truth
Can't speak a word
Mom's such a matriarch
Squint tighter and they're gone
There's much less noise
It costs so much to make the phone ring
No sound of cars
The highway's far away
When you place blame
Try to look past all their badges
If you squint hard
you'll find some beauty in it all
Sudden prospects this month has now begun
Brings no more than a stagger
Voices yelling a past I can't become
Leaving scratches, reminders
Expressions coming more defined
Weathering my side
Fresh light appears and makes amends
Scoffing
Stakes are brighter than brewed at first invite
Stakes as high as encountered
Stuck in throat and it suddenly divides
Completely stricken with fever
Got near 20 years out of this arm
Got near 20 years out of this leg
Starting to recognize the harm
Stillness always seems to fool me
Dormant wrinkles has found its tune to rise
This time they'll sure stay forever
Warmer wind kicks my skin into a sigh
Crash there goes the old rules
And where was I
You must use the new tools
Try reaping the fruits of network
The plan supporting the big hurt
New stab at your chest
From the one who spoke kinship the best
It's not empowering
Self admiring
The choice direction won't comfort me
There's no conclusion
Just brash illusion
Your analogies won't comfort me
I understand that I can't understand
The new bread
And it won't comfort me
Leave without mine
Make sure your shoes shine
Your corrections won't
Point out why I can't speak
I missed steps four and eight
Too many reasons to give up
And when I do I've sold to fate
Selling tasks achieves freedom
As long as you approve when it's done
Five bucks to get inside
Sit in groups and join words
And how they fall in sentences
Him and who were sold for what
Joys of resting all forgot
Didn't catch a word you said
Now turn your head and check the clock
It's late and I don't want to fight
So I'm not saying anything
Just leave and let the sleep revive us
Silence addresses everything I had to say
Music loud should drown you out
But in my ear you're shouting
The skill of knowing what to say
Starts to weather with the day
We could sit without a thought
Not a reason to check your watch
It's late and I don't want to fight
So I'm not saying anything
Just leave and let the sleep revive us
Silence addresses everything I had to say
Go on shut up
There's nothing more you could even say
I've had enough
And really your just boring
You have a home I think it could make use of tonight
bad news comes by the ton
easy answers are none
that i know
no easy answers and only scars to show
take me off to the grid
you make me feel like a kid
that i know
no easy answers and only scars to show
another new day's gone
and time goes on and ons
the road ahead seems long
under darkened skies
where everybody dies
needle stis at the red
pounding feet full of lead
that i know
no easy answers and only scars to show
meeting my wants and demands
money falls through your hands
that i know
no easy answers and only scars to show
This chapter is trite - I don't want that
Too much work to revise
Not all passion is lost
Just my youth is at cost
Before you speak
Recall what you said
Recall how we held
Recall and I'll tighten the knot
Check the first latch
Does it let in the gray
The excitement we lack
Could be made up in pain
Before you speak
Recall how we held
Recall what you said
Recall and I'll tighten the knot
I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak and I don't think so
I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak where I don't
We did get along
Common ground not the plea
If you learn to forgive
Please don't tell me that I said the wrong thing
My words meant nothing then but so much to you
I broke a sacred trust, saying sorry again
How many times have I said I'm sorry
To only trash you within the day
I think out one of every statement
That my body displays
Beware of what I bring you
Baggage from far that just gets thrown onto you
I bite my tongue and slip through
Slip through to you
Feels like I'll never get through this passage
If I do, will I want to stay
Spent weeks of desperate cold nights
Reviewing all your days
Please don't tell me that I said the wrong thing
My words meant nothing then but so much to you
Never meant to start a fight
But that's the way it ends
Jagged words step forward
And we bash forgotten friends
Years before we met
With points as clear as charcoal
More discussion would be lame
I cut myself into a trap - I designed
And if a fault is found - assured it's mine
Even though the past at hand - rips my waste
Babe i hoped you feel as trapped as I do
I should learn some common sense
And stop my thoughts at throat
But memory's accounted
And then every fear explodes
Years before we met
Hold my breath and count to ten
But prudence won't tame
So what I'm Argus eyed - heartburning genocide -
Do you feel as trapped as I do
The suspicion's more of me - and not of what I see-
Push the poisons right on through
heartburing genocide - attentive doubts will fly -
Hear the sting, ask what I do
I was the one to prey - put the gun on me -
Until I break I'm trapped as you
If you have a hole to sleep in
Take me there to nap
Dare I bring my apprehension
Lay it on your lap
Years before we met
Honesty has several shades
Would you prefer a stone
That I chose for you?
That lay on a beach
Was just a sea of stone
Wasn't meant for you
Jumped into my eyes
Choice of millions
Would you prefer a stone
From your window?
It walks through the streets
Feeling young and tense
They said he had this all in mind for you
'Cos it's so much strain
Choice of only a few
Would you prefer a look
That was contrived?
Or a look that says how I really keep with you?
I have no plans in my mind
Just kind of go
Go with you
Would you prefer a hello or a goodbye?
My mind is something I don't know
The truth, why should I lie?
Just kind of go
There's a time for not speaking out
I was amused by the casting of shouts
Walk by on a stupid whim
Into your neck where the theory begins
Never spoke of this you know
This is a place where we can't be candid
Cheecky smite that you could hear
Try to crawl into something
They didn't make
And miss the core
Already know that i'm wrong
So why obsess about what side i'm on
All this will fall into seed
I'm not approaching you
Cuz i'm afraid that you might move
I'll the color when i speak
This behavior has a right
And it's better than the counter
That you might
Lose some skin that you didn't have to fun
Reach the point and lose the joy
Reach the place and shut my mouth off
From your forearm shouts a tear
Crawling off into another growth
My two weeks on the eastern hillside
Washed the grime away
The other fifty layered on
And I will sleep under constellations
Double stars of information
Coyotes singing-howls away
Cause it's a lost connection
So this time I'll never leave
Gonna stay on ellis mountain
Count the pine trees
Nail and hammer-i have home
Overtime, unforgiven
Pipe fitting its not living
Let the city have it all
With my hand
I've built epic structures
With my hands-my hands
Promise lands sduffocate in steel and mortar
With my hands-my hands
Cause it's a lost connection
the pressure's on now
ass is on the line
sleeping on the carpet
sick with
and we've dipped low enough this time
to slip right under the door
go unlock your steadfast shrine
and carve it into him
you didn't cacth it
you were ill advised
wen you strike the match head
does it hypnotize?
and who am i to say you're blind
cuz you let me charge you more
we've dipped low enough this time
we'll slip right under the door
you can't talk to me now
It's unlaughable now, it's not okay
you know you were screwing us both over anyway
i wish i could laugh but my laughs all tapped out
cause i sat alone as you worshipped your wallet
setting up goals or whatever you call it
start with
another person you can juggle
another sidekick for your show
hang it over my head
its my only home
motivated by cash but i'll tell you you're not alone
just down your street to the first cafe
they've got the cash and now look
what it's bought them
new hair and ass but their souls are are all rotten
start with
another person you can juggle
start with another psychic for your show
a one way trip wherever you go
together whatever
i am not your accomplice
and i felt things you'll never know
recover your losses and let go
just a few square feet in a block of shame
and the way that you act i'm now guessing you'll remain
so i'll leave you the key and its all been done
this island was bought for a handfull of trinkets
look at it now-at it's the best way could sink it
start with another person you could juggle
start with another sidekick for your show
you were right-i got too close to your shadow
you were right now i'm all packed
