By The Way"

Standing in line to
See the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Dani the girl is
Singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Overload

Steak knife
Card shark
Con job
Boot cut

Skin that flick

She's such a little DJ
Get there quick
By street but not the freeway
Turn that trick
To make a little leeway
Beat that nic
But not the way that we play

Dog town
Blood bath
Rib cage
Soft tail

Standing in line to
See the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for

Black jack
Dope dick
Pawn shop
Quick pick

Kiss that dyke

I know you want to hold one
Not on strike
But I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic
I know you never stole one
Girls that like
A story, so I told one

Song bird
Main line
Cash back
Hard top

Standing in line to
See the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Dani the girl is
Singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for

Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it

Standing in line to
See the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I know you
From before

Standing in line to
See the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
Universally Speaking"

I saw your face

Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase
Still I so admired
Bloodshot your smile
Delicate and wild
Give me shewolf style
Rip right thru me

[Pre-Chorus:]
Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her I've got her on my mind
Nothing better the feeling is so fine
Simply put I saw your love stream flow

[Chorus:]
Come on baby 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking
Take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
Win in the long run

I saw your crime

Dying to get high
Two of a kind
Beats all hands tonight

Simply put I saw your love stream flow

Let's go

"This Is The Place"

This is the place

Where all the junkies go
Where time gets fast
But everything gets slow

Can I get some Vaseline

Step into a modern scene
Take a chance on that
Which seems to be
The making of a dream
I don't want to do it
Like my Daddy did
I don't want to give it
To my baby's kid

This is my calling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you
Hammers are falling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you

This is the place

Where all the devils plead
Their case to take from you
What they need

Can I isolate your gene

Can I kiss your dopamine
In a way I wonder
If she's living in a magazine

I don't want to say it

If it isn't so
I don't want to weigh it
But I've got to know

This is my calling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you
Hammers are falling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you

I saw you out there yesterday

What did you want to say
A perfect piece of DNA
Caught in a flashing ray
I caught you out there in the fray
What did you want to say
A masterpiece of DNA
Caught in a flashing ray
Can I smell your gasoline
Can I pet your wolverine
On the day my best friend died
I could not get my copper clean

I don't want to take it up

With Little Joe
I don't want to fake it
But I've got to know

This is my calling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you
Hammers are falling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you

I'm a misfit
I'm born with all of it
The fucking ultimate
Of love inside the atom split

I'm in a flash ray

A mash of DNA
Another poppin' Jay
Who thinks he's got
Something to say

"Dosed"

I got dosed by you and

Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay

In you a star is born and

You cut a perfect form and
Someone forever warm
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died

All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

Show love with no remorse and

Climb onto your seahorse and
This ride is right on course
This is the way I wanted it to be with you
This is the way I knew that it would be with you

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died

All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

I got dosed by you and

Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay

Way upon the mountain where she died

All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

"Don't Forget Me"

I’m an ocean in your bedroom

Make you feel warm
Make you want to re-assume
Now we know it all for sure

I’m a dancehall dirty breakbeat

Make the snow fall
Up from underneath your feet
Not alone, I’ll be there
Tell me when you want to go

I’m a meth lab first rehab

Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There’s a love that knows the way
I’m the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of
Everything you’ve ever smelled
Not alone, I’ll be there
Tell me when you want to go

Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don’t forget me I can’t hide it
Come again get me excited

I’m an inbred and a pothead

Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed
Now we know it all for sure

I could show you

To the free field
Overcome and more
Will always be revealed
Not alone, I’ll be there
Tell me when you want to go

Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don’t forget me I can’t hide it
Come again get me excited

Don’t forget me I can’t hide it

There's a match now let me light it

I’m the bloodstain

On your shirtsleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe
Now we know it all for sure

Make the hair stand

Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny farm
Not alone, I’ll be there
Tell me when you wanna go

I’ll be there and tell me when you wanna go

Come again and tell me when you wanna go
More will be revealed my friend…
"The Zephyr Song"

Can I get your hand to write on

Just a piece of leg to bite on?
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on?
Take a look it's on display for you
Coming down, no not today

Did you meet your fortune teller

Get it off with no propeller
Do it up it’s on with Stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pickin’ up but not too strong for you
Take a piece and pass it on

Fly away on my zephyr

I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
Fly on my wind

Rebel and a liberator

Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look it's on display for you
Comin’ down, no not today

Fly away on my zephyr

I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together

In the water where I center my emotion

All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We’ll find a place together

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - do you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - won't you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Fly away on my zephyr

I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together

In the water where I center my emotion

All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We’re gonna live forever
Forever

"Can't Stop"

Can't stop, addicted to the shindig

Chop top, he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunkt; the pistol that you pay for
This punk, the feeling that you stay for
In time, I want to be your best friend
East Side love is living on the West End
Knocked out, but boy you better come to
Don't die, you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright, I wonder what the wave meant
White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
Go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with 50 belly dancers

The world I love

The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone

So smart, she's leading me to ozone
Music, the great communicator
Use two sticks to make it in the nature
I'll get you into penetration
The gender of a generation
The birth of every other nation
Worth your weight the gold of meditation
This chapter's gonna be a close one
Smoke rings, I know you're gonna blow one
All on a spaceship persevering
Use my hands for everything but steering
Can't stop, the spirits when they need you
Mop tops are happy when they feed you
J. Butterfly is in the treetop
Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

The world I love

The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to

Wait a minute I'm passing out

Win or lose, just like you
Far more shocking
Than anything I ever knew
How 'bout you
10 more reasons
Why I need somebody new, just like you
Far more shocking
Than anything I ever knew
Right on cue

Can't stop, addicted to the shindig

Chop top, he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunkt, the pistol that you pay for
This punk, the feeling that you stay for
In time, I want to be your best friend
East Side love is living on the West End
Knocked out, but boy you better come to
Don't die you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright, I wonder what the wave meant

Kick start the golden generator

Sweet talk, but don't intimidate her
Can't stop the gods from engineering
Feel no need for any interfering
Your image in the dictionary
This life is more than ordinary
Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
Comin' from space
To teach you of the Pleiades
Can't stop the spirits when they need you
This life is more than just a read-through

"I Could Die For You"

Something inside the cards

I know is right
Don't want to live
Somebody else's life
This is what I want to be
And this is what I give to you
Because I get it free
She smiles while I do my time

I could die for you

Oh this life I choose

I'm here to be your only go-between

To tell you of the sights
These eyes have seen
What I really want to do is
Turn it into motion
Beauty that I can't abuse
You know that I'd use my senses to
You can see that
It's only everywhere
I'd take it all and then
I'd find a way to share

Come along and go

Along with me
Wander with me yo
It's all for free

I could die for you

Whatchu wanna do
Oh this life I choose
Come again and tell me
Where you want to go
What it means for me
To be with you alone
Close the door and
No one has to know
How we are

Come along and go

Along with me
Wander with me yo
It's all for free

I could die for you

Whatchu want to do
Oh this life I choose

"Midnight"

Things will never be the same

Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one

Messed it up but rest assured

No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf

[pre chorus:]
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

[chorus:]
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story

The rising moon is on the shine

The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now cause john and jane would like to know
Is it safe inside your head
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees

Enter the rolling tide

Over the ocean so wide
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

Throw Away Your Television"

Throw away your television

Time to make this clean decision
Master waits for it's collision now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Throw away your television

Make a break big intermission
Recreate your super vision now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges

Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Throw away your television

Take the noose off your ambition
Reinvent your intuition now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges

Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Throw away your television

Salivate to repetition
Leviate this ill condition now

It's a repeat
"Cabron"

Cabron

I see you in the park

You're always wearing Dodger blue
Mad-doggin me and anyone from any other crew
I am small but I am strong
I'll get it on with you
If you want me to
What else can I do?
Everyone would take a cue from anything you do
If you want them to
What else can they do?
I don't want to fight
I want to get along with you
This time of night's for singing songs about the local news

Cabron

I come around and make peace get down have a barbecue

Let's keep the moon awake and do electric boogaloo
I am small but I am strong
You see I'm just like you
If you only knew
That I'm just like you
All the world would take a cue from anything you do
If you only knew
That they're just like you
I don't want to fight
I want to get along with you
This time of night's for singing songs about the local news

I don't want to fight

I want to get along with you
This time of night's for singing songs about the local news

If you want me too

What else can I do?
Cause I'm just like you
If you only knew

"Tear"

This is my time
This is my tear
I can see clearly now
That this is not a place
For playing solitaire
Tell me where you want me
This is my time
This is my tear

Comin' on strong
Baudelaire
Seems to me like
All the world gets high
When you take a dare
Let it rise before you
This is my crime

All in all and I'm

Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know

Devil may cry devil may care

Distiller's got a scream
And now I know just why
When she's movin' air
Can you feel the voltage
This is my time

California skies
Got room to spare
This is my time

All in all and I'm

Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know

Take it outside
Take it out there
Seems to me like
All the world gets high
When you take a dare
In the final moment
This is my time

All in all and I'm

Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know

"On Mercury"

I've got myself

In a masochistic hold
Why don't you let go
Shake it off
Just to redirect my flow
Come on let's go

Sit up straight
I'm on a double date
I've got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don't stop rock around the clock
Motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block

Come again and tell me

What you're going thru
Like a girl who only knew
Her child was due

Memories of everything
Of lemon trees on mercury
Come to me with remedies
From five or six of seven seas
You always took me with a smile
When I was down
Memories of everything
That blew thru

Looking up into
A reverse vertigo
What an undertow
Give it up
Another stubborn scorpio
Come on, let's go

Sit up straight
I'm on a double date
I've got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don't stop rock around the clock
Motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block

Come again and tell me

What you're going thru
Like a girl who only knew
Her child was due
To the moon she gave
Another good review
Turn around and look at me
It's really really you

"Minor Thing"

I change the key from C to D

You see to me it's just a minor thing
He knows everything
To readjust you've got to trust
That all the fuss is just a minor thing
He knows everything
It's just a minor thing
And I'm a minor king
He knows everything

You've got your bit part, Mozart

Hot dart acceleration
Pop art, pistol chasin'
Cat fight intimidation

To read a mind you've got to

Redefine the line to make your circle sing
He knows everything
You make a sound
The spell is bound to come around
It's just a minor thing
He knows everything
It's just a minor thing
And I'm a minor king
He knows everything

You've got your bit part, Mozart

Hot dart acceleration
Pop art, pistol chasin'
Cat fight intimidation

All out interfacing

Black star motivation
Vampire sugar junkie
Data basin' infiltration

I change the key from C to D

You see to me it's just a minor thing
He knows everything
To readjust you've got to trust
That all the fuss is just a minor thing
He knows everything
It's just a minor thing
And I'm a minor king

It's just a minor thing

And I'm a minor king

"Warm Tape"

Shiver for me girl

Deliver for me my darling
Pushin’ up to you
A river that runs right thru you
Swim for your smile
In a blue rock quarry
Make it for me baby
You won’t be sorry
Shiver for me now
Deliver for me my darling

Miles and miles of netherworlds I roam

Settle for love you’re never far from home
Carry me down into the waters of
Carry me down into the waters of love
Two of us were made of angels dust
I’ve been around
But not around enough

Shadow my free form

A woman that I could keep warm
Quiver for me girl
Give me your head and shoulders
Shot from the pages of love and glory
Sleeping next to you and I’m in your story
Shadow my free form
A woman that I could keep warm

Miles and miles of netherworlds I roam

Settle for love you’re never far from home
Carry me down into the waters of
Carry me down into the waters of love
Two of us were made of angels dust
I’ve been around
But not around enough

Let’s go
I know, I make it for two
Intuitions only what you take from it
I know, I make if for two
You were there and I was fortunate
I know I make it for two
And then a messy bed, apology that I will fall for you
I know I'll make it for two
I'll make it for two, I'll make it for two, and

Shiver for me now

Deliver for me my darling
A living that I could
Be giving to you my sweet love
Swim for your smile
In a blue rock quarry
Make it for me baby
You won’t be sorry
Shot from the pages of
Love and glory
Sleeping next to you
And I’m in your dream

Settle for love

"Venice Queen"

Does it go from east to west

Body free and a body less
Come again just to start a fresh
Once again to find a home
In the moment of the meantime

Dropping in coming through the mesh

Checking in just to get it blessed
Hard to leave when it's picturesque
Find a form that's free to roam
Where you come from
Where you going

Do it all then it all again

Make it up and you make a friend
Paddle on just around the bend
Find a place where you can see
All the mamas and the papas

Take a chance on a recommend

Hard as hell just to comprehend
Disbelief that I do suspend
Easy now to find a breeze
Where you come from
Where you going

We all want to tell her

Tell her that we love her
Venice gets a queen
Best I've ever seen
We all want to kiss her
Tell her that we miss her
Venice gets a queen
Best I've ever

I know you said you don't believe

In god do you still disagree
Now that it's time for you to leave
G.L.O.R.I.A.
Is love my friend

Your stylish mess of silver hair

A woman of your kind is rare
Your uniform returns to air
G.L.O.R.I.A.
Is love my friend

And now it's time for you to go

You taught me most of what I know
Where would I be without you Glo
G.L.O.R.I.A.
Is love my friend

I see you standing by the sea

The waves you made will always be
A kiss goodbye before you leave
G.L.O.R.I.A.
Is love my friend

"Dani California"

Getting born in the state of Mississippi

Papa was a copper
And Mama was a hippie

In Alabama she would swing a hammer

Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama

She never knew that there was

Anything more than poor

What in the world does your

Company take me for

Black bandana sweet Louisiana

Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana

She’s a runner, rebel and a stunner

On her merry way sayin’
Baby what you gonna

Looking down the barrel of a

Hot metal 45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest

She’s a lover baby and a fighter

Shoulda seen it comin’ when
It got a little brighter

With a name like Dani California

The day was gonna come
When I was gonna mourn ya

A little loaded she was

Stealin’ another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest

Who knew the other side of you

Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say say say

Push the fader, gifted animator

One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota

North Dakota man was a gunnin'
For the quota

Down in the Badlands

She was savin’ the best for last

It only hurts when I laugh

Gone too fast

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest
"Snow (Hey Oh)"

Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice.

Hey oh... listen what I say oh

I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh

When will I know that I really can't go

To the well once more - time to decide on.
When it's killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside.
Come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride,
Well it's killing me, what do I really need - all that I need to look inside.

Hey oh... listen what I say oh

Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh

The more I see the less I know

The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go;
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow,
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

Ho!

Went to descend to amend for a friend all the channels that have broken down.
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on,
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh... listen what I say oh

I got your hey oh... listen what I say oh

The more I see, the less I know

The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow.
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.

Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

I said hey oh yeah oh yeah... tell my love now

Hey yeah yeah... oh yeah.

"Charlie"

All aboard... stitching time

Get yours... got mine
In a minute... ill be there
Sit tight... get square
You can do it at the hippodrome
slide back... trombone
Anybody got a TV at home
Thats right... unknown.

When I pick up on that smell

Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman send me some
Better get up on your run

[Chorus:]
So much more than
Charlie's waking me
To my core and
Charlie's shakin' me
Tell my story
And Charlie's making me
And Charlie's making me smile.
Oh, Oh, now

Everybody... do the twist

Get the the message... on Flea's fists
Move around like a scientist
Lay down... get kissed
Big picture and it never lies
Big daddy... will advice
Eveready... in disguise
Sunset... sunrise

When I pick up on that smell

Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman send me some
Better get up on your run

[Chorus]

My heart... Your skin

This love... I'm in
We don't arrive, without a suprise
You're right... I'm wrong
Be free... Be long
Intimate sight has come into light

When I pick up on that smell

Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman send me some
Better get up on your run

All I ever wanted to

Was pick it up and run with you
Slip it into a summer spell
Double up and run like hell

[Chorus]

My heart... Your skin

This love... I'm in
We don't arrive without a suprise
You're right... I'm wrong
Be free... Be long
Intimate sight has come into light

My heart... Your skin

This love... I'm in
We don't arrive without a suprise
You're right... I'm wrong
Be free... Be long
Intimate sight has come into light

"Stadium Arcadium"
Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you

I hope I get what you deserve

And this is where I find

Smoke surrounds your perfect face

And I'm falling

Pushing a broom out into space

And this is where I find a way

The stadium arcadium

A mirror to the moon
I'm forming I'm warming
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing

Stranger things have happened

Both before and after noon
I'm forming I'm warming
Pushing myself
And no I don't mind asking
Now

Alone inside my forest room

And it's storming

I never thought I'd be in bloom

But this is where I start

Derelict days and the stereo plays

For the all night crowd
That it cannot phase
And I'm calling

Tedious weeds that the media breeds

But the animal gets what the animal needs
And I'm sorry

The stadium arcadium

A mirror to the moon
I'm forming I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing

Stranger things have happened

Both before and after noon
I'm forming I'm warming
Pushing myself
And no I don't mind asking
Now

And this is where I find

Rays of dust that wrap around

Your citizen

Kind enough to disavow

And this is where I stand

The stadium arcadium

A mirror to the moon
I'm forming I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing

Stranger things have happened

Both before and after noon
I'm forming I'm warming
Pushing myself
And no I don't mind asking
Now

The stadium arcadium

A mirror to the moon
I'm forming I'm warning
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing

Stranger things have happened

Both before and after noon
I'm forming I'm warming
To you

"Hump De Bump"

Forty detectives this week

Forty detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin' is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependent
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bap
Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bodu

Hump de bump doop bap
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump bump

Must have been a hundred miles

Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When I was another loner

Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now

Workin' the beat as we speak

Working the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependant

Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bap
Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bodu

Hump de bump doop bap
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump bump, c'mon

Must have been a hundred miles

Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When I was another loner

Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now

Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bap
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bap
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump bump

Listen to me what I said

Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance
And a chance to make out

Livin' in a citadel
It's hot enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now

Must have been a hundred miles

Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When I was another loner

Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now

"She's Only 18"

She's only 18
Don't like the Rolling Stones
She took a short cut
To being fully grown

She's got that mood ring

A little sister rose
The smell of Springsteen
A pair of pantyhose

This talking picture show

Is leaking from a silhouette
She said my man you know
It's time to get your fingers wet
Your hustle's busted when
You can't afford a cigarette
The last I heard from you
You were screaming "handle it"
Knock the world right off it's feet
And straight onto its head
The book of love will
Long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you
And what was said
Make a play for all the
Brightest minds and light will shed

I heard some P-Funk

Out on the road again
To get your head shrunk
Is what I recommend

It's in your bloodline

A perfect Frankenstein
Out on that lone pine
I'm gunna make you mine

It's understood you wrap

Your voodoo right around my neck
You've got some glitter on your
Kitty at the discotheque
I put my lovin' in your oven
Not a head to check
The last I heard from you
You were screaming "resurrect"

Knock the world right off it's feet

And straight onto its head
The book of love will
Long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you
And what was said
Make a play for all the
Brightest minds and light will shed

Knock the world right off it's feet

And straight onto its head
The book of love will
Long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you
And what was said
Make a play for all the
Brightest minds and light will shed
"Slow Cheetah"

Waking up dead inside of my head

Will never never do there is no med
No medicine to take

I've had a chance to be insane

Asylum from the falling rain
I've had a chance to break

It's so bad it's got to be good

Mysterious girl misunderstood
Dressed like a wedding cake

Any other day and I might play

A funeral march for Bonnie Brae
Why try and run away

[Chorus:]
Slow cheetah come
Before my forest
Looks like it's on today

Slow cheetah come

It's so euphoric
No matter what they say

I know a girl
She worked in a store
She knew not what
Her life was for
She barely knew her name

They tried to tell her

She would never be
As happy as the girl
In the magazine
She bought it with her pay

[Chorus]

Everyone has
So much to say
They talk talk talk
Their lives away
Don't even hesitate
Walking on down
To the burial ground
It's a very old dance
With a merry old sound
Looks like it's on today

"Torture Me"

Because I'm happy to be sad

I want it all I want it bad
Oh-oh-it's what I know

A vintage year for pop I hear

The middle of the end is near
Let's go - it's what I know

Torture me and torture me

Forcin' me so torture me please
Torture me with sorcery
Forcin' me so torture me please

All the leaves are turning brown

The wind is pushing me around
Let's go - it's what I know

Torture me and torture me

It's forcin' me so torture me please
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me please

The will of God is standing still

Brazilian children get their fill
Let's go...

Let's turn it up and dumb it down

The vision of your ultra sound
Is so...

All the leaves are turning brown

The wind is pushing me around
Let's go...

A vintage year for pop I hear

The middle of the end is near
It's so...

Torture me and torture me

It's forcin' me so torture me please
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me please

Torture me and torture me

It's forcin' me so torture me please
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me please

"Strip My Mind"

Arthur J did indicate

The boulevard would never be
So full of love and life again

Hot as Hades early eighties

Sing another song and make me
Feel like I'm in love again

Please don't strip my mind

Leave something behind
Please don't strip my mind

All in favor sign the waiver

Bloody Carolina won't you
Take another look inside

Operator, co-creator
Come on radiator won't you
Blow another top and sing

Please don't strip my mind

Leave something behind
Please don't strip my mind

El Dorado won the lotto

All that cash and not a clue
But now you know what I've been through

Please don't strip my mind

Leave something behind
Please don't strip my mind
"Especially In Michigan"

Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
...well I could be your friend

White clouds I'm in

A mitten full of fisherman
C'mon huckleberry finn
Show me how to make her grin
...well I'm in Michigan

Cry me a future
Where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck

A rainy Lithuanian
Who's dancing as an Indian
Painted in my tiger skin
(Especially in Michigan)

Double chins and bowling pins

Unholy presbyterians
Land is full of medicine
I find it when I'm slipping in
...into Michigan

The tainted new librarian

Who fainted when she tucked you in
Let's float away like zeppelins
(on stoic gusts of northern wind)

Out on the farm we'll be

Swimming with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck

Life is my friend
Underwater violins
Order now from ho chi min
A porcelain that comes in twins
...when I'm in Michigan

Throw me in the looney bin

Cause I can take it on the chin
The cleavage of your pillow skin
(Is moving like a violin)

"Warlocks"

Warlocks in wonderland
I've got a megatropolis in my hand
And a... subterranean marching band
Makin' noise for the boys in the Vatican
And a

A little package and off we go

Oh... ticky ticky tackita tic tac toe
I know... everybody's Eskimo
We've got another thing coming
And that's our show... well

[Chorus:]
Every night I go looking for you
Everyone in the world adores you
A little pocket of something kind
To find your reason
Coming up and it everyday for
Look at me and it's what I stay for
A little locket of fantasy
That we believe in

Lilacs and contraband

I've got Santa Monica in my hand
A little... Beatle mania when I can
And I've got two big bags of old Japan

Ring side and blow by blow

Another... main event at the old rainbow
We're comin'... Right on top of the tupelo
When she looks just like Brigitte Bardot

[Chorus]
Make a deal with Uncle Weezer
Sign your name to claim
China Chow will try to please her
Sweetness came from Jane

Warlocks in wonderland
I've gotta... Rockapotomus in my hand
With a... Happy ending that's made of sand
With a little bit of lovin' is all I can

"C'mon Girl"

Everything inside of me
Is burning up for you to see

And if we should get into it

A two way kind of syndicate, ho

Compare us to a ferris wheel

Just be sure of what you want to steal
Some people do it by the book
But I prefer to go by feel, tell me

I wanted to get outta here

But every time I reappear
And know I have the words my dear
To whisper right into your ear, hey, yeah

C'mon girl
Let's get it right
Let's get it right
Let's get it right

The spirit of a dragon's tear

Is lovely at this time of year

The cave within your mountainside

Is deeper than it will be wide hold me

My disenchanted diplomat
Asleep inside the laundromat
Conveyer belts are moving and
I want you you to be sure of that, tell me

And if you let it germinate

I know it will be worth the wait
Disputed by the news that it was you
Who tried to instigate, hey

Blessed are the hypocrites

Outwitted but she never quits
The trouble with a band of slits
Is washing offf all the muddy bits, hey... yeah

Oh yeah she's with me and I'm your man

If I can't find you no one can

"Wet Sand"

My shadow side so amplified

Keeps coming back dissatisfied
Elementary son but it's so

My love affair with everywhere

Was innocent why do you care
Someone start the car
Time to go you're the best I know

My sunny side has up and died

I'm betting that when we collide
The universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen

Are treating me like Benzedrine
Automatic laughter from a pro

My what a good day for a walk outside

I'd like to get to know you a little better baby
God knows that I really tried

My what a good day for a take out bride

I'd like to say we did it for the better of

I saw you there so unaware

Those hummingbirds all in your hair
Elementary son but it's so

The disrepair of Norma Jean

Could not compare to your routine
Balarama beauty going toe to toe
My what a good day for a let it slide
I'd like to say we did it for the better of

I thought about it and I brought it out

I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter

Right on the verge just one more dose

I'm traveling from coast to coast
My theory isn't perfect but it's close
I'm almost there why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone open up and let it show

My what a good day for a walk outside

I'd like to think we did it for the better of

I thought about it and I brought it out

I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter oh

You don't form in the wet sand

You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do Yeah

"Hey"

Won't somebody come along

And teach me how to keep it alive?
To survive.

Come along and show me something

That I never knew in your eyes.
Take away the tournicate.

I used to be so full of my confidence,

I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go.
More than ever I could use a coincidence,
But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know.

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess I ought to walk away,
Hey, oh yeah, so long...
What you gonna do today?

I don't wanna have to, but I will,

If that's what I'm supposed to do.
We don't wanna set up for the kill,
But that's what I'm about to do.

Let it on, I'll cut you off when you're screaming into the phone.
Hard to own.
Anyway, I wanna let you know that everything is on hold.
What you gonna do to me?

You used to be so warm and affectionate.

All the little things I used to hear my fairy say,
But now you're quick to get into your regret.
I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away.

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess I ought to walk away,
Hey, oh yeah, so long...
What you gonna do today?

I don't wanna have to, but I will,

If that's what I'm supposed to do.
We don't wanna set up for the kill,
But that's what I'm about to do.

Hey, what would you say if I stayed?

Stayed for a while, if I may.
Say it again and I'll come around,
But not for the last time...
Hey, what would you say if I changed?
I'll change everything but my name.
Play it again and I'll come around,
But not for the last time.

You used to be so warm and affectionate;

I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go.
And now you're quick to get into your regret;
And now I walk alone and talk about it when I know...

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess you gotta walk away;
Hey, oh yeah, so long...
What you gonna do today?
"Desecration Smile"

All alone not by myself

Another girl bad for my health
I've seen it all through someone else
And I (love a girl bad for my health)

Celebrated but undisturbed

And serenaded by the terror bird
It's seldom seen and its never heard
I'm (serenaded by the terror bird)

Never in the wrong time or wrong place

Desecration is the smile on my face
The love I made is the shape of my space
My face, my face

Disintegrated by the rising sun

A rolling black out of oblivion
And I'd like to think that I'm your number one
(I'm rolling black out of oblivion)

I wanna leave but I just get stuck

A broken record runnin' low on luck
There's heavy metal coming from your truck
And I'm (a broken record running low on luck)

Never in the wrong time or wrong place

Desecration is the smile on my face
The love I made is the shape of my space
My face, my face

We could all go down to Malibu and make some noise

Coca Cola doesn't do the justice she enjoys
We could all come up with something new to be destroyed
We could all go down

I love the feeling when it falls apart

I'm slow to finish but I'm quick to start and
Beneath the heather lies the meadowlark
And I'm (slow to finish but I'm quick to start)

Never in the wrong time or wrong place

Desecration is the smile on my face
The love I made is the shape of my space
My face, my face
Never in the wrong time or wrong place
Desecration is the smile on my face
The love I made is the shape of my space
My face, my face
Yeah…

"Tell Me Baby"

They come from every state to find

Some dreams were meant to be declined
Tell the man what did you have in mind
What have you come to do

No turning water into wine

No learning while you're in the line
I'll take you to the broken sign
You see these lights are blue

Come and get it

Lost it at the city limit
Say goodbye
Cause they will find a way to trim it
Everybody
Lookin' for a silly gimmick
Gotta get away
Can't take it for another minute

This town is made of many things

Just look at what the current brings
So high it's only promising
This place was made on you

[Chorus:]
Tell me, baby, what's your story?
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me, baby, what's your story?
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely. Are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind
Some claim to have the fortitude
Too shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed

I'll move you like a baritone

Jungle brothers on the microphone
Getting over with an undertone
It's time to turn to stone

Chitty, chitty, baby

When your nose is in the nitty gritty
Life could be a little sweet
But life could be a little shitty
What a pity
Boston and a Kansas City
Looking for a hundred
But you only ever found a fitty

Three fingers in the honeycomb

You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

"Hard To Concentrate"

Hustle, bustle and so much muscle awww

Cells about to separate
And I find it hard to concentrate and

Temporary this cash and carry

I'm stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and

All I want is for you to be happy and

Take this moment to make you my family and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found

Death defying this mess I'm buying

It's raining down with love and hate
And I find it hard to motivate and

Estuary is blessed but scary your

Heart's about to palpitate
And I'm not about to hesitate and
One to treasure the rest of your days here and
Give you pleasure in so many ways dear and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... here we go

Do you want me to show up for duty and

Serve this woman and honor her beauty and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... yourself

With me... will... you... agree to take

This man... into your world...
And now... we are as one...

My lone ranger the heat exchanger

Is living in this figure eight
And I'll do my best to recreate and

Sweet precision and soft collision awww

Hearts about to palpitate
And I find it hard to separate and

All I want is for you to be happy and

Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found... now

All I want is for you to be happy and

Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found... yourself

"21st Century"

All the creatures on the beaches

Makin' waves in a motion picture
Won't you keep this in between us
Search and seizure, wake up Venus

The dollar bill will

Mentally ill bill
Mom and dad take your 'don't be sad' pill
Turn the screw and twist my language
Don't forsake me. I'm contagious!
There's a reason for the twenty-first century
Not too sure but I know that it's meant to be
And that it's meant to be

Come on, ooh

It's my favorite combination

Comin' down with the favored nations
Deep rotation, mutilation
Learn to give and take dictation
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Like the Cain and Abel
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Time to run this table

There's a reason for the 21st century

Not too sure but I know that it's meant to be
And that it's meant to be

What? Yeah

Read me your scripture and

Read me your scripture
Read me your scripture and
I will twist it
Show me your wrist and I
Show me your wrist and
Show me your wrist and I'll
Kiss it kiss it

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Like the Cain and Abel
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
It's time to run this table

Simple soldier, hand it over

Stop and read what you just wrote her
Strangulation, altercation
Oral sex and bird migration

There's a reason for the 21st century

Not too sure but I know that it's meant to be
And that it's meant to be yeah

There's a reason for the 21st century

Not to sure but I know that it's meant to be

"She Looks To Me"

Looks to me like heaven sent

No lullaby kid no 5%

Any way you want to cut that cake

She's dyin' from the likes of abandonment

Lost in the valley without my horses

She need somebody to hold

It looks to me like heaven

Sent this for your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me all right

Who's going to take you home

And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me all right

It's a long walk down those tracks

It's a dirty walk in
It's a dirty walk back
Gonna learn awe way too much
Shootin' dope in the back
Of a cadillac jack

Slow down the road to my back 40

She needs somebody to hold

Down in the south seas

Give me your mouth please
Resuscitation
Is the way I find these
I give you major
You give me minor
Don't fade away
Like an ocean liner
Now

Lost in the valley

Without my horses
No one can tell me
What my remorse is

God made this lady

That stands before me
She need somebody to hold

She shows the world up with a smile

And then she throws the fight
She looks to me she looks to me
All right

Down on the bathroom floor

She's searching for another light
She looks to me she looks to me
All right

"Readymade"

Readymade, Readymade
Steady as the rhythm rolls
Readymade, Readymade
And this is how the story goes

I got a cousin making beats deep down in Arizona

Gonna rock it to her mound in the city of the moaner

Readymade, Readymade
Steady as the rhythm rolls
Readymade, Readymade
And this is how the story goes

And if I give to you my sacred sigh, you got it

And if I stay the course I'll stay the night, come get in

Readymade, Readymade
Getting out to celebrate
Readymade, Readymade
And now it's time to educate

I got a sister makin' babies with a black and decker blowtorch

We gonna frop it all night in the middle of a black hole

Readymade, Readymade
Let 'em out to celebrate
Readymade, Readymade
And now it's time to educate

And I give to you my sacred sigh, you got it

And if I stay the course I'll stay the night, come get in

Readymade, Readymade
Rock it for the circus slave
Readymade, Readymade
Tell them now the love to save

I got a brother makin' trouble in the state of California

Gonna let it all night in the city of Sedona

Readymade, Readymade
Rock it for the circus slave
Readymade, Readymade
Listen but don't be afraid

And if I give to you my sacred sigh, you got it

And if I stay the course I'll stay the night, come get in

"If"

And if I had a clue I'd know exactly

What to do
If I were the wiser of the two

And if I saw it all so clear

I'd write it down and bend your ear
If I were the clearer of the two

We could take a walk into the

Canyons of 5th avenue
Sing and dance... just to name a few

All I do
All I do

And if I heard the angels sing I'd

Sing it back to you and bring the
Sound of heaven ringing just for you

And if I saw the sun fall down

I'd pick it up and make a crown
One that was a perfect fit for you
We could take a walk
Into the apple orchard by the school
We could make a little residue

We could find a place to stay

A secret little hide away
Spend a little time inside of you

All I do

All eyes
All eyes
All eyes on you

All I do
All I do

"Make You Feel Better"

She's the one she's the only one

She's got ripped back light
Gonna make me come
I say... when I smile I'm a really smile
I got dreams so wide like a country mile

I said now, I'll take it

It's better for you
Somehow we'll make it
'cause that's what we do

Pick a star in the open sky

I see you see me
And that is why I

Hop along to the cowboy beat

When I feel your fire
Jump up to meet

Something out there

Where love is your only friend and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better and
Someone to spare
When love is the only end and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
Oh yeah

In a world that has run amok

I've got to set my sights
Just to get struck

I walk away from the rank and file

With a punched out mouth
And a pack of style

I say... she's the one she's the only one

Make me search myself
Until I'm done... and

Tell me now in a telegram

Do the sea of stars
Make a diagram... and

So alive I arrive on dust

You can search my mind
For the red on rust... I said
Take me there and she really cares
Lights up for me gonna hear my prayers
I said

"Animal Bar"

Never 21 when everyone's a sailor

Coming up strong at the animal bar
Ever loving more with Mr.Norman Mailer
Turn another page at the animal bar
And it won't be long
No it won't be long
No it won't be long
Because it can't be long

I I I the cry of isolation

I I I the high of meditation
I I I for sweet precipitation
I I I the high of deprivation

And it won't be long

No it won't be long
No it won't be long
Because it can't be long

[Chorus:]
Rain on my frustration
Stake my claim now break this
Wash me down my station
Makes more rain forsaken

In between the sky and every piece of the earth

Runnin' through the mud
I gotta feeling of worth

All aboard the ship

'Cause you're gonna need an ark
When the wet comes down
You'll be swimming like a shark
Mopping up the stain and
I'm a little older
The song of rain
At the animal bar

And it won't be long

No it won't be long
No it won't be long
Because it can't be long

I I I the cry of isolation

I I I the high of meditation
I I I for sweet precipitation
I I I the high of deprivation

And it won't be long

No it won't be long
No it won't be long
Because it can't be long

[Chorus]

Raindrops will fall from the sky

Stealing the shape from your eye
Now we can all get some sleep
The water the water the water
Saving us from the heat

Some things will die in their place

Others will leave little trace
Fire will come find its day
The water the water the water
Washing it all away

"So Much I"

Next stop on the klm

Two lips and a sturdy stem
A funny thing always happens when
I get a heavy jam
I'm gonna turn it into hydrogen
I I, I I, I I, I I I I, I

Cowgirl and a troubadour

Mgm and the lion's roar
A straight shot to the corner store
I wanna show you what
I wanna show you what your head is for
I I, I I, I I, I I I I, I

So much I wish I could

So many I wish I would
So much I wish I could
Count on you not to complete me
So much I wish I could
So many I wish I would
So much I wish I could
Count on you not to defeat me

Please don't turn away again

Please don't turn me into them
Please don't turn away a friend
Please don't turn me into them

Stand by for the great eclipse

Rip it out now shake your hips
Backing off the apocalypse
I gotta loosen up
I gotta loosen up to get my grip
I I, I I, I I, I I I

(O GOOD GOD, HEAVEN ALMIGHTY, Heaven's to murder troy,

We've got a cataclismic situation developing someone get down here now!!...)

Come on come on baby let me show you what I'm talkin' about
You try to be a lady but you're walking like a sour kraut
Looka looka lika lika like you wanna get some
If you never tell a lie then you never have to play dumb

Dirty baby, time you're gonna take some

Pretty baby love you're gonna make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some
Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitation
Little Lady what a reputation
Kinda shady

I know you can straddle the atmosphere

A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the masses dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

(O o no its getting worse, worse by the minute we're down here in divison in mystery

Every other day you say you're gonna have to bury 'em
Famous last words spoken from the laserium
Descendents had a record sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo
You can take the A train but you're gonna have to lie low

I know you can straddle the atmoshpere

A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the masses dear A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Dirty baby, time you're gonna take some

Pretty baby love you're gonna make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some
Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitation
Little Lady what a reputation
Kinda shady
Now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle the atmoshpere

A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know we may never get outta here
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
"We Believe"

The curtain
Is open
A head to
Put dope in
Now we will
Come clean it
The future
We've seen it
No, no, I know, I said, no no

It's like a dream

That falls away
Into the night
Where we can play
I'm on a train
One happy day
Two eyes for sight
Three times I pray

Soda pop
We've got to set up shop
And when the weather comes
We've got a pressure drop
We don't know
But everyday I go
To see what I can bring
Into a cameo
Oh oh oh no

We believe
Climb a tree
For monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker

The mission
The method
The downfall
Arrested
Cuz it's not
The first time
Nor is it
The worst time
No no oh no

To see the bird

Without a care
For in a word
It's nice out there
In a tree
My mama bear
Will be all right
With proper care

Hey hey hey do

Boomerang
Into a bigger bang
A little cry of love
Because they cannot sing
Cherokee
What did the pharaoh see
Another time and space
Another place to be

The motive
The measure
The purpose
The pleasure

The risk is
It worth it
The disc is
It perfect

I found you
Amongst them
The flower
With young stem

Disparage
The broken
The marriage
Alopin'

"Turn It Again"
Some of us get a little
And some a lot
We've got to make due
With what ever we got
We get it hot we cool it down
And then we pass it around

You can dance

For the sake of a golden day
Take a chance on getting rid
Of whatever's in your way
Next stop big hop
Is turning night into day

Sometimes when
I'm lying there all alone
I think of every little nothing
That we could own
To overthrow all of you
Who have overgrown

All my friends
Like to spend
Days on end
On the mend
I turn to you, I turn into
And then I turn it again

Here we go
All we know
Heavy load
Start to float
Without a doubt, we turn it out
And then we turn it again

I've come to learn

Whatever time I can find to spend
Taking flight into
Whatever light we bend
Out on the street
I get a beat and then
I turn it to ten

Lace boots and the

Ladies of Kazakhstan
Kick 'em high to the sky
All of this just because we can
I turn to Cuba
Then Aruba then the Dominican

All my friends
Like to spend
Days on end
On the mend
I turn to you, I turn into
And then I turn it again

Here we go
All we know
Heavy load
Start to float
Without a doubt, we turn it out
And then we turn it again

We've got to move it

If we want to do our best
We've got to shake it
If we want to keep it fresh

I'm turning down

All the heavy psychology
To cut a rug
And I make no apology
I turn a cheek, I turn a key
And then I turn it for free

We've got to move it

Just a little to hit the spot
A whirling derbish in a flurry
A fox to trot
Come clown around, a robot
Doin' the astronaut

All my friends
Like to spend
Days on end
On the mend
I turn to you, I turn into
And then I turn it again

Here we go
All we know
Heavy load
Start to float
Without a doubt, we turn it out
And then we turn it again
"Death Of A Martian"

Bear paws and rascal power

Watching us in your garage
Big girl you ate the neighbor
The nova is over
Wake up and play
By the radio
Make room for Clara's bare feet
The love of a martian

Tick tock and waiting for the meteor

This clock is opening another door

Lots of love just keep it comin'

Making something out of nothin'
These are the best that I
I don't know how to say
Losin' what I love today
These are the best that I
Lots of love just keep it comin'
Making something out of nothin'
These are the best that I
I don't know what to say
Look at what I lost today
And these are the things that I

Blood flowers in the kitchen

Signing off and winding down
This martian ends her mission
The nova is over
She caught the ball
By the mission bell
Chase lizards bark at donkeys
The love of a martian

Let's bow our heads

And let the trumpets blow
Our girl is gone
God bless her little soul

(She's got sword in case

Tho this is not her lord in case
The one who can't afford to face
Her image is restored to grace.

Disappeared.
No trace.
Musky tears.
Suitcase.

The down turn brave

Little burn cub bear careless turnip snare
Rampages pitch color pages...
Down and out but not in Vegas.
Disembarks and disengages.
No loft.

Sweet pink canary cages plummet pop dew skin fortitude

For the sniffing black noses that snort and allude
To dangling trinkets that mimic the dirt cough go drink its.
It's for you.

Blue battered naval town slip kisses delivered by duck

Muscles and bottle-nosed grifters arrive in time to catch the late show.
It's a beehive barrel race.
A she hive stare and chase wasted feature who tried and failed to reach her.
Embossed beneath a box in the closet that's lost.
The kind that you find when you mind your own business.
Shiv sister to the quickness before it blisters into the new morning milk blanket.
Your ilk is funny to the turnstile touch bunny whose bouquet set a course for bloom without
decay.
Get your broom and sweep the echoes of yesternights fallen freckles... away…)

I'M WITH YOU

"Monarchy Of Roses"

The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep

The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep.
Do you like it rough I ask and are you on to task?
The calicoes of Pettibon where cultures come to clash

[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
And Mary wants to build it up, and Sherri wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
The cross between my former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears of Ireland, a lovely cross to bare

[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to raise it up, and Sherri wants to spin it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight

[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
And Mary wants to build it up, and Sherri wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will then say I want to
The story knows that I will never taunt you

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will then say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Hey

"Factory Of Faith"

All my life I was swinging for the fence,

I was looking for the triple,
Never playing good defence

Gunnin' for the glitter,

Every hot and heavy hitter,
She was never really there so I couldn't really get her
I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it

Piece of work, I was really quite a jerk

Keeping score is such a bore, a busy mind can go berserk
Oh feast on this, I was fishing for a hook
So I took a little trip, and I opened up the book

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, is just a medicine
Make you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?

[Chorus:]
Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...

Crack your whip, she's confessing from the hip

She was good at getting there, but not as much for round-trip
Oh all this time, I was searching for a dream
I was slippin' in and out of every other sex machine

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, is just a medicine
Makes you wanna cry, why don'd they let us in?

[Chorus:]
Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...

Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate

Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
Faith
And love
And luh-ooh-uh-ooh-uh-ooh-uh-ooh-ove
"Brendan's Death Song"

If I die before I get it done

Will you decide
Take my words and turn them
Into signs that will survive
Because a long time ago
I knew not to deprive

It's safe out there and now you're everywhere

Just like the skies
You are love you are the love supreme
You are the rise
And when you hear this
You'll know it's your jam
It's your goodbye

[Chorus:]
Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong

We all crossed when we were feeling lost

It's just the tide
Katari cried the day her lover died
She recognized
Because he gave her
A life of real love
It's no surprise

The nights are long

But the years are short
When you're alive
Way back when would never be again
It was a time
It's gonna catch you
So glad I met you
To walk the line

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong

Come get me
Hey!

Hey!

Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong

Let me live
So when it's time to die
Even the reaper cries
Let me die
So when it's time to live
Another son will rise

I said yeah, yeah, yeah

I said yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)

Like I said you know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone

"Ethiopia"

[Flea:]
"We're rolling everybody. It starts with bass."

EIOIEIA
When you give your love away
You get a feeling for

EIOIEIA
Live to love another day
even when you feel unsure
More and more I wanna raise
Raise my bar
And raise your stakes

EIOIEIA
When I lie they're wide awake
For my son I'll make

[Chorus:]
Tell my boy
I love him so
Tell him
So he knows
Lost in Ethiopia
We walk out in that road

Somethin' good gonna come your way
Just look out your door

Tell 'em what you wanna say
No matter what you might incur

Tell my boy
I love him so
Tell him
So he knows
Lost in Ethiopia
We walk out in that road

EIOIEIA
Steal my heart to give away
make me want to say

EIOIEIA
You and I are sewn the same
More and more and more
Each day

[Chorus:]
Tell my boy
I love him so
Tell him
So he knows
Lost in Ethiopia
We walk out in that road

"Annie Wants A Baby"

Lucy Rebar
She's a friend of mine
Later she'll go
Back and redefine the line
It's getting longer all the time
Oh yeah

Drinking sunshine
She likes the taste of it
She had a gold mine
but then she wasted it away
You should have seen her yesterday
Oh yeah

Sing along the way

Nothing stops the ache

Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Cosma shiva
Got off
Made you a believer
I don't need to
Tender
Why do I believe you?
Annie wants a baby now
Annie wants a baby
Any way she can

Missing pieces
She's got a lot of them
Time decreases
I wish I thought of them
- before
Before it's time
To close the store
Oh yeah

Distillation
A lonely sycophant
Some liberation
The only seed
We ever plant
I wanna help you
But I can't
No no

Sing along the way

Nothing stops the ache

Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Love 'er leave 'er
Got off
Made you a believer
Neon soldiers
Left her
Now you've gotten older
Annie wants a baby now
Annie wants a baby
Any way she can

It's getting longer all the time

It's time to redesign the sign
Oh yeah
Sing along the way

"Look Around"

Woo!

Stiff club
It's my nature
Custom love
Is the nomenclature
Turn down
Mass confusion
Hit the road
'Cause we just keep cruisin'
Double my fun
Double my vision
Long hard look
At my last decision
Hustle here
Hustle there
Hustle me bitch
And you best beware

It's emotional
And I told you so
But you had to know
So I told you

Soft walk
To horizon
One big crash
That no one dies in
This for the folks in Fayetteville
It'll come true if you say it will

[Chorus:]
Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around
All around
Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around
All around

It's emotional
And I told you so
But you had to know
So I told you

Please don't look right through me

Hurts my heart
When you do that to me
Street life
Out my window
City made breeze
Gonna stroke my skindow
Just a lotta words
On an old brick wall
Robbin' lotta banks
Gotta pedigree scrawl
Put my peg
Into your square
Run around like we just don't care

[Bridge x4:]
Move it ah gotta get ya, wanna get you
Move it ah gotta get ya, gonna get you

[Outro:]
When I'm feeling small and I'm
hitting a wall
Wanna feel it all around

"The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie"

[Verse]
Lip stick junkie
Debunked the all in one, she
Came back wearing a smile
Lookin' like someone drugged me
That wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
And then we go oh oh oh oh

Tick tock I want to

Rock you like the 80s
Cock blockin' isn't allowed
Tugboat Sheila
Is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd
We better get it on the go

[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud

I said hey now

We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

[Verse]
Rain dance Maggie
Advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods
Little did I know her body
Was warm delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit

[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud

[Bridge]
You've got the wrong girl
But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
'Cause I'll be gone girl

[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud

I said hey now

I want to rock this rowdy crowd
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

[Outro]
But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
'Cause I'll be gone 'bye 'bye 'bye yeah
'Bye 'bye 'bye girl

'Bye 'bye girl

"Did I Let You Know"

C'mon c'mon

[Verse 1:]
I'm comin' for ya
'Cause I adore ya
I'd like to get inside
Your mass production
This indecision
Has got me cringing
I can't resist the smell
Of your seduction
Did I let you know
Would you like to go
Unwrap the package
Without much persuasion
Did I let you know
Would you like to go
I wanna dance to
Everyday's occasion

[Chorus:]
This I know
This I know
(Take me home, well take me home)
This I know
We're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)

[Verse 2:]
When we envision
Lack of division
The planet does
Another revolution
The day I blew on ya
You said I grew on ya
Turns out that we are
All the one solution
GO!

[Trumpet Solo]

I'm comin' at you

Year of the cat too
I like the sound of
Your articulations
Want to arouse her
And maybe espouse her
She showed me love
Without the stipulations

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3:]
I want to lean on you
Get Jan and Dean on ya
Time to sway
A little mass perception
I like you cheeky
Oh so Mozambiquey
I think the world could use
A clear connection

[Chorus x2]

Did I let you know

Would you like to go
Did I let you know
Would you like to go
Did I let you know
Would you like to go

"Goodbye Hooray"

Woop Woop! Ha

Junior pimp at old cafe

Got to change those girls around
Westbound, drunk with lots to say
But he never makes a sound

Hustlers get what they deserve

but it's always half the gate
Good things come to those who wait
Like an expiration date

[Chorus:]
See you around
I'll see you around
I'll play all night
Can't get uptight
I lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around
I'll see you around
I'll play all night
Can't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray

Curb your tongue oh scallywag

Because you've got no flag to wave
Save your breath for the black and white
Every dog will have his day

[Chorus:]
See you around
I'll see you around
I'll play all night
Can't get uptight
I lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around
I'll see you around
I'll play all night
Can't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray

Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around

[Bass Solo]

Aw yeah
Aw yeah
Aw yeah

[Chorus:]
See you around
I'll see you around

Can't get uptight
I lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around

Goodbye and hooray

"Happiness Loves Company"

Start marchin'
'Cause you think you shot to #1
Counting days and
skipping your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb
Does it weigh a ton
I'll be yours tonight,
Living the dream of a meteorite

Start jumping 'cause

We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA

Short stroking doesn't fly

Better to go for broke
Whatchu smoking Mary Jane
And does it make you choke
Jumping the fence, riding the rails
Can you take a joke
I'll be yours today
Living the dream with a capital K

Start jumping 'cause

We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA

Tell me now, I'll tell you how

Just show me where to send

Make time for love and your happiness

The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess

Half blinded
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time
To play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry
What a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
better than ever like never before

Start jumping 'cause

We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess

Sweet talkin'
As I'm walkin' thru your part of town
Never again
Will Johnny C a Love Supreme be found
Is it ever meant to be
And is it so profound
Is it you and me
A billion to one make history

Said yeah
Oh yeah
Said yeah
Oh yeah
Said yeah
Oh yeah

"Police Station"

Saw you at the police station

And it breaks my heart to say
Your eyes had wandered off
To something distant
Cold and grey
I guess you didn't see it coming
Someone's gotten used to slumming
Dreaming of the golden years
I see you had to change careers
Far away
But we both know it's somewhere

I saw you on the back page

Of some free press yesterday
The driftwood in your eyes
Said nothing short of love for pay
I know you from another picture
Of someone with the most conviction
We used to read the funny papers
Fool around and pulled some capers
Not today
I send a message to her
A message that I'm coming
Coming to pursue her

[Chorus 1:]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I've got you ten times over
I'll chase you down
'Til you're dead

I saw you on a TV station

And it made me want to pray
An empty shell of loveliness
Now dusted with decay
What happened to the funny paper
Smiling was your money maker
Someone ought to situate her
Find a way to educate her
All the way
Time to come and find you
You can't hide from me girl
So never mind what I do

[Chorus 2:]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head

I saw you in the church yard

There was no time to exchange
You were getting married
And it felt so very strange
I guess I didn't see it coming
Now I guess it's me who's bumming
Dreaming of the golden years
You and I were mixing tears
Not today
Not for me but someone
I never could get used to
So now I will refuse to

[Chorus 2:]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head
I got my best foot forward
And I'll chase you down
'Til you're dead.

"Even You Brutus?"

God is good and fate is great

When it feels so strong
It's hard to wait
You never know how it might unfold
Hearts to break and bodies to hold
Time will tell but it never gets old
Like I told you I'm in for a long long...

Had to have been one of those things

That took place in outer space
A match made in heaven
Not a scratch on her face
Angels must have smoked some dust
Singing songs 'bout in God we trust
Some things slide but this is a must
Like I told you there's a time for finding out

People try to tell me

What not to do
You shouldn't make it with a younger girl
Too many chances
For the foot to drop
I tried to tell them that I found a pearl
Like I told you be careful what you're asking for

[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back

She was the cutest thing

That I ever did see
Drink in her hand and I don't mean tea
She was with a dude
But I just didn't care
I had to find out these moments are rare
And Stevie says 'All is fair'
Like I told you there is something for everyone
Well I guess I never told you some things
That I really really wanted to say
Did I do everything that I could do
Or did the mice just need to play
Like I told you there is more than meets the eye

[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back

I'm not trying to point fingers at you

And I'm not trying to lay any blame
But when it comes to the punishment
Girl, you know how to bring the pain
Like I told you, I'd do it all again

[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back

Come on

Hey, sister Brutus

There's a fury to the woman's wrath
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back

"Meet Me At The Corner"

Please don't ask me who

Who you think I am
I could live without that
I'm just a modest man

Meet me at the corner

And tell me what to do
'Cause I'm messed up on you
And had I known
All that I do now
I'm guessing we're thru now
Receding into the forest
I will lay around in wait
And I'll wait for you

Please don't ask me where

Where you think I've been
I've been a lot of places
But this could be my win

Meet me at the corner

And tell me what to do
'Cause I'm messed up on you
And had I known
All that I do now
I'm guessing we're thru now
Receding into the forest
I will lay around in wait
And I'll wait for you

I feel so bad
I thought you'd wanna know
I feel so bad
I thought you'd wanna know
Something I wanna show
I thought you ought to know

Please don't say you want

to keep in touch out there
To see you on the corner
Well that I just can't bare

Meet me at the corner

And tell me what to do
'Cause I'm messed up on you
And had I known
All that I do now
I'm guessing we're thru now
Receding into the forest
I will lay around in wait
And I'll wait for you

Hey and I turn

I turn my head when I thought
I saw a sign
From the gods
A sign from the gods
That you weren't meant to be mine
And it's fine
Takin' it all for a ride
Until the day when it's gone
Mystified by where
It all went wrong
When it's gone

I live and I learn

And I lose and I win
But it's better than ever
Whenever I'm in
I thank you girl
For everywhere that we've been

"Dance, Dance, Dance"

You got yours and I've got mine

She got his and she got shine
Under moon and overseas
She got those and we got these

Dance, dance, dance, dance

All night long yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong yes we got strong
Let's say hello
It's safe to go

Dance, dance, dance, dance

All night long yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong yes we got strong
The light is right
Let's play tonight
Let's play

Give yourself a chance

To find a way
The holiness of play
Is here to stay

They got this and we got that

He got his and she got fat
You got mine and I got yours
I've got love but you've got more
Dance, dance, dance, dance
All night long yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong yes we got strong

Let's say hello

It's safe to go
Let's play

Give yourself a chance

To find a way
The holiness of play
Is here to stay

Tell your mom and dad, it's all ok

The holiness of play is here to stay

You got yours and I've got mine

He got his and she got shine
We got off and she got high
Some got hot and they got by

Dance, dance, dance, dance

All night long yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong yes we got strong

Let's say hello

It's safe to go

Dance, dance, dance, dance

All night long yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong yes we got strong

The light is right

Let's play tonight
Let's make the rise
The sun
The prize
Let's play
Let's play

THE GETAWAY
"The Getaway"

That’s right you’re right

We will do our thing tonight alright
Take me through the future
It’s time you’re fine
Just another color coded crime
Incision and a suture
You told my friend
We would get it on no matter when
A supercavitation
Let’s go you show
Me something no one will ever know
A love hallucination

Another lonely superstar

To get away inside your car
Take it much too far
Surrender to the brave inside
A lover that another tried
Take it, too my ride

You don’t have to keep it if it’s mine

(Another lonely superstar to getaway inside your car)
Another place maybe another time
(Surrender to the brave inside a lover that another tried)

Complete repeat
Sitting in your car and on your street
Lost in California
Let’s steal this wheel
Take a spin to find out how we feel
Just around the corner
Slow down for sound
Turn it up and no we can’t be found
The body that we transcend
Asleep, you weep
Find out that the trick is never cheap
A melancholy girlfriend

Another lonely superstar

To get away inside your car
Take it much too far
Surrender to the brave inside
A lover that another tried
Take it, too my ride

You don’t have to keep it if it’s mine

(Another lonely superstar to getaway inside your car)
Another place maybe another time
(Surrender to the brave inside a lover that another tried)

That’s right you’re right

We will do our thing tonight, alright
Drive the constellation
It’s time you’re fine
Just another color coded crime
The song is fascination

Another lonely superstar

To get away inside your car
Take it much too far
Surrender to the brave inside
The lover that another tried
Take it, too my ride

A May December might not be so smart

(Another lonely superstar to getaway inside your car)
Arrivals that we wish would not depart
(Surrender to the brave inside a lover that another tried)

Don’t be late cause you’re my savior

Make it great whatever stays
Golden gate my rearranger
Hold my name inside your rays

"Dark Necessities"

Coming on to the light of day

We got many moons that are deep at play
So I keep an eye on the shadow smile
To see what it has to say

You and I both know

Everything must go away
What do you say?

Spinning Knot that is on my heart

Is like a bit of light in a touch of dark
You got sneak attack from the zodiac
But I see your fire spark

Eat the breeze and go

Blow by blow and go away
What do you say?

Yeah

You don't know my mind

You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
And tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

Stumble down to the parking lot

You got no time for the afterthought
They're like ice cream for an astronaut
Well, that's me looking for we

Turn the corner and

Find the world at your command
Playing the hand

Yeah

You don't know my mind

You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

Do you want this love of mine?

Darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it? Do you want it now?

Do you want it all the time?

But darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it? Do you want it now?

Pick you up like a paper back

With the track record of a maniac
So I move it in and we unpack
It's the same as yesterday

Any way we roll

Everything must go away
What do you say?

Yeah

You don't know my mind

You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

"We Turn Red"

We got large and we got small

We got a swimming pool and a cannon ball
We turn red and we turn green
It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen

Lost my mind ’cause I’m on the plastic

Who knew it’s so damn drastic
Show me what it is you believe in
Slowly she sinks all her teeth in
Do you want to go fishing in New Orleans?
Do you want to get up early in the morning?
Take me to the river where we do the little storming
Hallelujah, I feel it warming

Sitting here I count the moons

The orders we obeyed
Every night ’fore we go to bed
I watch while the others pray

Send it off through Delaware just

Make it fair for the legionnaires
Paint a simple portrait of my kind
Permission to the heartless bombs
Gold Plated Hate and the waitress moms
Serving up the stories of my mind

Mexico, you are my neighbor

Home of the let’s be braver
Give me all your sick and your tired
Races that we admire
Do you want to go dancing in Chicago?
Trinidad’s got it bad for Tobago
Take me to the lake where we do the Avocado
Hallelujah, a desparado

Sitting here I count the moons

The orders we obeyed
Every night ’fore we go to bed
I watch while the others pray

Send it off through Delaware just

Make it fair for the legionnaires
Paint a simple portrait of my kind
Permission to the heartless bombs
Gold Plated Hate and the waitress moms
Serving up the stories of my mind

Coming down from the deserts where you

Caught a glimpse of the billionaire
Tell me I’m the right one for the ride
Paper signs out on the lawns
Gold minds and the priceless pawns
Does your canyon really open wide?

We got large and we got small

We got a swimming pool and a cannon ball
We turn red and we turn green
It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen

"The Longest Wave"

Throw me all around

Like a boomerang sky
Whatever you do
Don't tell me why
Poppies grow tall
Then say bye bye
The wave is here

A seamless little team

And then we tanked
I guess we're not so sacrosanct
The tip of my tongue
But then we blanked
The wave is here
Waiting on the wind
To tell my side

Ready set jet

But she never gets far
Listen to your skin
From the seat of my car
Two centipedes stuck
In one glass jar
The longest wave
Waiting on the wind
To tell my side

Whatcha want
Whatcha need
Do you love

Maybe I'm the right one

Maybe I'm the wrong
Just another play, the pirate, and the papillon
Time to call it a day

Maybe you're my last love

Maybe you're my first
Just another way to play inside the universe
Now I know why we came

Sterile as the barrel

Of an old 12 gauge
Under my skin
And half my age
Hotter than the wax
On a saxifrage
The longest wave
Waiting on the wind
To turn my page

Steady your sails

For the butterfly flap
Whatever you do
Don't close that gap
I'm dreaming of a woman
But she's just my nap
Your ship is in
Waiting on the tide so I can swim

Whatcha want
Whatcha need
Do you love

Maybe I'm the right one

Maybe I'm the wrong
Just another play, the pirate, and the papillon
Time to call it a day

Maybe you're my last love

Maybe you're my first
Just another way to play inside the universe
Now I know why we came

Now I know why we came

Now I know

"Goodbye Angels"

Suicide a month before I met you

Deep regrets, I never could forget you
Somehow you made your way to my decade
Ayo ayo ayo ayo my girl

In the sun, I see you with your guard down

Number one, you're moving to a hard town
Do not dismiss the promise that you made me
Ayo ayo ayo ayo, my time

Overkill you took another red pill

On the sheet is everything that you spilled
We are the ones you want to know right now
Ayo ayo ayo ayo, black light

Come again to murder your report card

Just a friend to kiss you in the court yard
You are the one I want to be stuck with
Ayo ayo ayo ayo big fight

Favor some
Way too young
Slave to none
Way too young

Say goodbye my love

I can see it in your soul
Say goodbye my love
Thought that I could make you whole
Let your lover sail
Death was made to fail

Sticky fingers find the way to take her

Crumple up another piece of paper
I know your days are numbered when it comes to
Ayo ayo ayo ayo this life
Slip away into the solar system
Straighter rays, you find a way to twist them
Some like it dark and now I know where to
Ayo ayo ayo ayo find you

Serpentine, I think she was an Aussie

Bloody hell, a common kamikaze
Give up the ghost before you go under
Ayo ayo ayo ayo wonder

Kicking hard and looking for a rescue

Watch me starve was never to impress you
I would have killed the part of me to have you
Ayo ayo ayo ayo story

Say goodbye my love

I can see it in your soul
Say goodbye my love
Thought that I could make you whole
Let your lover sail
Death was made to fail

Babe I know love is a funny thing

Born to die in the eternal spring

Your flickering is more than just a small flame

Welcome to the party, it's a ball game
Pick up the stick it's time to get hit with
Ayo ayo ayo ayo my bat

Suicide is never going to save you

When I cried, it was because I came too
You are the one I want to know right now
Ayo ayo ayo ayo kiss this

"Sick Love"

Say goodbye to Oz and everything you own

California dreamin' is a Pettibon
LA's screaming you're my home
Vanity is blasted but it's rarely fair
I could smell the Prozac in your pretty hair
Got a lot of friends, but is anyone there
I don't know but it's been said
Your heart is stronger than your head
And this location is my home

Stick n move you're living in a quick world

Got a heavy laugh for such a tiny girl
Born into it that's for sure

Rivers get connected, so much stronger than expected well

Sick love comes to wash us away
Prisons of perspective, how your vision gets corrected and
Sick love is my modern cliche

People talk and tell you what you want to hear

Do you really need another souvenir
Super heroes tend to disappear
Fame is just a trick you see an empty glass
Leave you feeling thirsty and so very fast
Chase your tail my baby it'll be your last

I don't know but it's been said

Your heart is stronger than your head
And this location is my home

Rivers get connected so much stronger than expected well

Sick love comes to wash us away
Prisons of perspective, how your vision gets corrected and
Sick love is my modern cliche

Rivers get connected so much stronger than expected well

Sick love comes to wash us away
Prisons of perspective, how your vision gets corrected and
Sick love is my modern cliche

Openly defective is the lover you elected and

A portrait she was bound to portray

"Go Robot"

I called the teacher cause I wanted to confess it now

Can I make the time for me to come and get it blessed somehow
She spoke to me in such a simple and decisive tone
Her sweet admission left me feeling in position from
I don't take these things so personal
Anymore, anymore
I don't think it's irreversible
Anymore

Somebody hooted and they hollered can I buy a vowel

Don't let her catch you in the act of throwing in the towel
And when it's not as it appears to be, the flagrant foul
Can I put my fingers in your mouth before you start to growl

I don't think that it's so terrible

Anymore, anymore
I don't think that it's unbearable
Anymore

Tell me now, I know that it just won't stop

You will find your flow when you go robot
I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
Robots don't care where I've been
You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
Robots are my next of kin

Sometimes I feel like I'm a sentimental trooper

She cried so hard, you know she looked like Alice Cooper

I don't think that it's so personal

Anymore, anymore
I don't think it's irreversible
Anymore

Tell me now, I know that it just won't stop

You will find your flow when you go robot

I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
Robots don't care where I've been
You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
Robots are my next of kin

I'm kissing high and low

Our bodies like two dominoes
Can I come and get you when I hit you in your party clothes
Let's turn this cosplay holiday, what we obey
And now we're welcoming each other to this cabaret

I don't think that it's so terrible

Anymore, anymore
I don't think that it's unbearable
Anymore
Tell me now, I know that it just won't stop
You will find your flow when you go robot
I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
Robots don't care where I've been
You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
Robots are my next of kin

"Feasting On The Flowers"

I was walking through the streets I could not hear my best friend call
He was feeling incomplete about to take his final fall
Last thing I remember there were tears of blood and just not mine
Any other day and I would save you from this cold decline

Everything they said about everything

Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, Oh yeah

Feasting on the flowers so fast and young

It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, Oh yeah
The next dimension, show me in

We were moving in the world, expanding your realities

A force of nature on the verge, commanding abnormalities
Last thing I remember there was ringing in my selfish ears
Twenty-Six a number much too small for someone's golden years

Everything they said about everything

Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, Oh yeah

Feasting on the flowers so fast and young

It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, Oh yeah
The next dimension, show me in

You get a little bit more this time when

You give a little bit for your brother's kind
Like she always said, "Oh, Don't look back, just look ahead"

You sing a little bit stronger when you

Remember the song of your old best friend
Like she always said, "Oh, don't look back, just look ahead"
Everything they said about everything
Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, Oh yeah

Feasting on the flowers so fast and young

It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, Oh yeah

"Detroit"

Find me in the suburbs and

The shadow of decay
Rolling rings of rubber and
The band begins to play

Am I on the right side of the left side of your brain

Can you see the rising of old yesterday's remains
Funkadelic said it best I think you know the rest
Time don't stand a chance against this motor madness

Don't you worry baby I'm like

Detroit, I'm crazy
Don't you worry baby I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Don't you worry baby I'm like

The Stooges and J Dilla, yeah

They tore this town apart
Put me back together, well
I guess that's quite an art

Henry won the war you see

But not with pen or sword
He did it with the little thing I think it's called a Ford

Funkadelic said it best I think you know the rest

Time don't stand a chance against this motor madness

Don't you worry baby I'm like

Detroit, I'm crazy

Everything's so hazy I'm like

Detroit, I'm crazy I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Everything's so hazy

"This Ticonderoga"

I met a man in a rock and roll band he said won't you come with me
I let him know that I could not go you see I get mine for free

We are all just soldiers in this battlefield of life

One thing that's for certain is my burning appetite

Step inside the emotional ride I could use some company

Illusionary is so damn scary I call my best friend Flea

This Ticonderoga is an element that shines

Connected by the great unknown between us there are lines

Yes I told her that

I'm the older cat
Can I scratch your back all day
I would not have it any other way, well

Means so much to me
Can you see the we
What are we ever gonna do when all I want to be is next to you

I took a girl from the underworld and I held her way too tight
When it's all been said and done she was not up for the fight

We are all just soldiers in this open field of time

Hoping to get with you when you get right with your mind

It's my favorite
So I savor it
I must report that life is short
So of your love I'll take ten quarts well

There's no end to this

Don't pretend to miss
You and you would not repent for sitting on my elephant and

Am I crazy to
Join the lazy zoo
All these human butterflies and
Cactus flowers swollen eyes and

I want the devil's share

Of you I do declare
Again I'm asking can I do
When all these animals want to be just like you

I met a girl with long black hair and she opened up so wide
A daffodil growing in Brazil and I picked her for my bride

We are all just soldiers in this epic loving flight

And no one that I know has ever really done it right

Done it right

"Encore"

Listen to the Beatles and the sound of laughing Ed McMahon, we got high
Educated by a world so full of self and lost in space, too much pride
Cosmonauts and dirty thoughts are juggling the juggernaut, Soviet Spy
Every now and then when I remember to befriend, the little things in life

Hey you're fine

I wanna listen to the radio
Driving down Calexico highway
And now I know the signs for sure

Hold my hand
I want to share it all with Mary
Results are gonna vary now

Later on I'll read to you the things that I've been needing to say goodbye
Walk away from mom and dad to find the love you never had, tell no lies
Carry on and write a song that says it all and shows it off 'fore you die
Take a little breath before you catch an early death there is so much sky

Hey you're fine

I wanna listen to the radio
Driving down Calexico highway
And now I know the signs for sure

Hold my hand
I want to share it all with Mary
Results are gonna vary now
Skinny brains and little stains upon your
Face teenage remains tell me more
Lifted in the fifties when you really rather drifted through time, let's soar

Hey you're fine

I wanna listen to the radio
Driving down Calexico highway
And now I know the signs, for sure (for sure)

Hold my hand
I want to share it all with Mary
Results are gonna vary now

"The Hunter"

Woke up this morning like I always do

I still like to think that I'm new
Time just gets its way
Strawberries left to decay

Can't find my pants or my bank account

Don't you slip away
Voices that start to betray

Even though you raised me I will never be your father

King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my Old Man In the Sea

I still like to laugh when I make a joke

I still like to think that there's hope
Time just has its say
Strawberries left to decay

Struck by the sight of an empty hall

Don't you fade away
Voices that start to betray

Even though you raised me I will never be your father

King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my Old Man In the Sea

The hunter gets hunted

We all get confronted
Don't just slip away
Voices that start to betray

Even though you raised me I will never be your father

King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my Old Man In the Sea

"Dreams Of A Samurai"

Standing naked in your kitchen

Feeling free that I could be alive
Clearly I'm a contradiction
Too young to be my wife

A peaceful storm is never hectic

Her mellow voice that I could be within
The uniform is anorexic
A jealous choice won't win

A metamorphosis samurai
Y'got a little lord fish and I don't know why I got a
Metamorphosis samurai

Paint your face cause I'm a black foot

I thought I counted up the fireflies
Close enough to get a good look
Time to mobilize

A metamorphosis samurai
Y'got a little lord fish and I don't know why I got a
Metamorphosis samurai

I'm a lonely lad

I've lost myself out on the range
I don't remember much
So don't ask me I've gone insane

Taking acid in a graveyard

Stealing food to keep the night alive
Every day I try to play hard
Even with my lies

The day they found you on a tour bus

The news was barren as a desert bone
The tabloids made a kind of small fuss
A couple pictures shown

I'm a lonely lad

I've lost myself out on the range
I don't remember much
So don't ask me I've gone insane

Slowly turning into driftwood

No one ever wants to die alone
Thinking that a pretty gift could
Make you less unknown

Dirty sneakers on the pavement

The brilliant features of a common man
See the miracle of your life
No one ever can

I'm a lonely lad

I've lost myself out on the range
I don't remember much
So don't ask me I've gone insane

See the world go by

The changes that we entertain
I don't recall it all
Remember I have gone insane
