| "You Will Be A Hot Dancer" |
Damn, this situation's new to me, why?
I see a head afraid to be himself
I bet he'd like to have a little
encouragement from the opposite
come that side of the floor
yes! egg him along
make him feel at ease with himself
steal his clothes, leave him his shoes
let's get this marmaduke naked
everybody help make him feel at ease
let's get this marmaduke naked
let's get this marmaduke naked
so lose your head and go to pieces
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
Ooh, now that the basics are down
converse amongst yourselves but
keep an eye out for the next complication
in other words, grab the next motherfucker marmaduke
who refuses to submit to these pelvic ostentations
I can't wait until the syllables bend
let's get this marmaduke naked
let's get this marmaduke naked
so lose your head and go to pieces
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be

| "Trouble In 421" |
The evening began as a positive swaret
and my abode was 4-2-0 G
but little did I know that in the very next apartment
there'd be trouble on the brew for me
ubiquitous I wish I could be
because the clock cuts short my own day
one hundred things to do before I rest my sore ass
upon the cushion that supports my array
Can this be trouble?
so if I may, slip you a tip
you'd best stay away from 4-2-1
trouble! so get by the green way
so get by the green way, yes!
I knocked upon their door
in hopes of bidding them their welcome
and instead I was caught by an eye
his pupil was wide open
kinda like a liquor barn at 3:00
it was indoubadoubly dose derived
it was then that they took me
and shined their light between my eyes
he said "what are ya new? why are you here?
what's the catch? why not explain in clear?
why you're thinking around?!"
I wish I could've just kept to my own
my hospitality has been too well spent
and I've paid my rent
I should've kept my thoughts
on who might've been inside
so that my mind could sit and delude my pride
Can this be trouble?
so if I may, slip you a tip
you'd best stay away from 4-2-1
trouble! so get by the green way
so get by the green way, yes!
I beg my common sense
to keep my neighbor out away
from my front door until I find a way
to hide myself from those in 4-2-1
one, one away from the good one
I beg my common sense
to keep my neighbor out away
from my front door until I find a way
to hide myself from those in 4-2-1
4-2-1, 4-2-1 |
| "Take Me To Your Leader" |
What if your brain, unexpectedly and suddenly
picked out things to flip around and view a lot differently?
what if blue sky, all of a sudden turned a purple hue?
we would shit a brick the size of all of it... what if?
What if I was just dreaming? (what if I was just dreaming?)
what if I lived in a pear? (what if I lived in a pear?)
what if my watch read 4:20 every hour, every day?
you can bet your dollar I'd be happy!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
take me to your leader or die by the fly guy!
What if mothballs
hangin' around too close to microwaves
suddenly woke up and said
"take me to your leader or die by fly guy!
he'll push ya' out, no wings attached!"
just do as I say, no mistake, he'll blow away
What if I was just dreaming? (what if I was just dreaming?)
what if I lived in a pear? (what if I lived in a pear?)
what if I had a mustard drenched cucumber tied to my leg
and I did not want my pants to get dirty?
what if this, what if that?!
go!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
take me to your leader or die by the fly guy!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
my pain
forgot to inject my cocaine
forgot to apply my rogaine
forgot to remember my pain, pain, pain
I never think, I never thought, oh maybe I'm insane
I think I like being way the fuck out of my brain
I never think, I never thought, oh maybe I'm insane
I think I like being way the fuck out of my brain
I forgot to remember

| "Medium" |
Medium, medium (x8)
Waking up I smell the scent
of coffee on the brew and I
think about the amount of the sweet
I'd like to have in my cup today
one for the two lump, three lump, four
no half of one, no less no more
just give me a chance, let me make it mine
I'd like a medium blend of that piece of pie
Not too bitter, not too sweet
just enough to start my beat
not too bitter, not too sweet
just enough to start my beat
Dinner time just rolls around
and I think I crave a steak but
I'm not too partial to the meat
when it's cooked too long
and I'm made to wait
not too much of the parsley
and just enough of the spice
I think I'd enjoy a medium-rare dish
with a side of fries
Not too tender, not too tough
not too little, just enough
not too tender, not too tough
not too little, just enough
Medium, medium, medium, medium
just a medium, medium
Come Thursday morn' I smell the pits
but hey, it ain't that bad I
could of sworn I bathed last week
and scrubbed like a good lad
I like to stink just a little bit
just to keep you on your toes, yes
the more I stink the more I think
that you smell like a rose
Not too pleasant, not too bad
just enough to hurt my dad
not too pleasant, not too bad
just enough to hurt my dad

| "Sink Beneath The Line" |
Solstice sun it sank beneath the line
and the commoners were
drunken upon the hillside, yeah
or so the story goes
I guess she followed along
so she could watch their games
Sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
Harvest moon it peaked above the shrine
and the crawlers emerged multitudinous
silly girl she sat upon their doorway
just poppin a squat
that's when she felt the squirms
Sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
my underpants!
All I know is that she wanted to be part of the crowd
I could've told her she was welcome here, anywhere
but instead she combed the outskirts lookin' inside
and then she sat upon a bug hill
this was when things started to get rough
an army-o-de-pinchers climbed their creepy ways right inside
her 5-0-1 cut-offs and her skin took on a hue
of a chemical unknown to me that's right
they were biting her beneath the line
she was a sitting on atop their shrine
I wish I could've warned her
Sink beneath the line
peak above the shrine
sink beneath the line
peak above the shrine
"She should've worn underpants!
there's bugs crawling everywhere and shit,
I can't believe it!" |
| "Hilikus" |
About a hundred years ago now
thought I was left for dead
soliloquy, she was my
a picture, a wake, my metaphoric friend
so then I fell in love with
an irony named life
it taught me this from that and
a picture, a wake, you're gonna be hilikus
History has a tendency to block out
the popular beliefs about the leaders of the time
so glisten with my syllables and ponder the thought
maybe they should have had to dedicate more to it, go!
You've got to be
so good to be
you've got to be hilikus!
So I took a walk out side with
my new found friend and the knowledge imbibe
I figured I'd find another with the same attitude, yes
then maybe I could talk to someone other than myself
the doors are now swinging wide open
a positive attitude and the ilk in my pocket
had a lot to do with my new found friend
the hilikus
History has a tendency to block out
the popular beliefs about the leaders of the time
so glisten with my syllables and ponder the thought
maybe they should have had to dedicate more to it, go!
You've got to be
so good to be

| "Azwethinkweiz" |
Floatin' round my brain
tryin' to think about the other thing
than that thought you know I'm considering
what if what I thought
about who I think I though I was
was nothing more than my cerebellum slobbering
Azwethinkweizm is hard to think about
but simple to trust
you'll know your on it when your brain
won't stop to take a break, no
so when donut boy comes askin' around
tryin' to figure out somethin' new
you just smile and say
"pardon you! I'm sitting through some particles
and farcing through some folds
I've stumbled upon a brain fart
which melts away your molds!"
so I think upon that ponder while
I'm pondering the thought
just thinkin' about the thinkweiz
is leaving me distraught!
Well I think I thought I saw an azwethinkweiz
lookin' like we think we do
like we think we do
I think I thought I saw an azwethinkweiz
lookin' like we think we do
like we think we do
Some think I'm insane
'cause I think about the other thing
than that one thought you call reality
what if what you thought
about who you think you thought you were
was nothing more than illusion rapidly crumbling
Azwethinkweism should be a topic we all can trust
it's just to bad it makes your head go
zippitykrack @#$% dang
so when donut boy comes sniffing around
trying to figure out something new
you just laugh and say
"pardon you, I'm through some particles
and farcing through some folds.
I've stumbled upon a brain fart
which melts away your molds."
so I think upon that ponder while
I'm pondering the thought
just thinking about the thinkweiz
is leaving me distraught
Well I think I thought I saw an azwethinkweiz
lookin' like we think we do
like we think we do
I think I thought I saw an azwethinkweiz

I think I thought I saw an azwethinkweiz
lookin' like we think we do
like we think we do
I think I thought I saw an azwethinkweiz
lookin' like we think we do

was nothing like you think you are

infected and disastrous
it breathes chaotic catastrophe

it's tears are the color of anger
they dry to form a scab

underneath, the new skin breathes
It's all been saved

As outwardly cliché as it may seem, yes
something under the surface says, "c'est la vie"
it is a circle, there is a plan dead skin
will atrophy itself to start again
look closely at the open wound
see past what covers the surface
underneath chaotic catastrophe
creation takes stage
Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again

see, and hear. Since the initial publication of the charted
electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch,

Let me see past the fatuous knocks
I've gotta rid myself of this idiot box
let you see past the feathers and flocks
and help me plant a bomb in this idiot box
From the depths of the sea
to the tops of the trees
to the seat of a lazy boy
staring at a silver screen

You're never gonna be content if you don't try

Should I apologize

oh, did I crack your shell?
when it falls away
you'll see we exist as well!
Like a bottle with the cork stuck
your true ingredients trapped inside
through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of you
I guess the hard shell represents your pride
oh, if only it could be different
we could uncover the you, you deny
between two, a small discrepancy
one complicates and one simplifies
You're never gonna be content if you don't try

till 2012 A.D.?
what are you waiting for
a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray
watching you procrastinate
what are you waiting for
a certain shade of green?
Would a written invitation signed,
"choose now or lose it all"
sedate your hesitation?
or inflame and make you stall?
you've been raised in limitation
but that glove never fit quite right
the time has past for hand-me-downs
choose anew, please evolve, take flight
Are you gonna stand around
till 2012 A.D.?
what are you waiting for
a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray
watching you procrastinate
Green, what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?
a written invitation?
a public declaration? yeah
a private consolation? whoooa
remember when you procrastinate
you choose last
I think I grew a gray
watching you procrastinate
Are you gonna stand around
till 2012 A.D.?
what are you waiting for
a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray
watching you procrastinate
what are you waiting for? (hey)
what are you waiting for? (hey)
what are you waiting for? (hey)
what are you waiting for? (hey)
what are you waiting for? (hey)

| "Favorite Things" |
I'm thinking of my soul's sovereignty
and I know everything you hate in me
fill me up with over-pious badgerings
throw them up, one of my favorite things
Too bad the things that make you mad
are my favorite things
my favorite things
Remember all the lessons fed to me?
me the young sponge, so ready to agree
years have gone, I recognize the walking dead
now aware that I'm alive and way ahead
Too bad the things that make you mad
are my favorite things
yeah, yeah, oooh, yeah
and I'm so happy
I see you looking
I know that you're thinking
that I'll never go anywhere
the things that I've done
and the things that I've seen
I don't really expect you to care
Too bad the things that make you mad
are my favorite things
yeah, yeah, oooh, yeah

| "Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)" |
I'm home alone tonight
full moon illuminates my room
and sends my mind aflight
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts
that were seemingly possible, with you
so I call you on the tin can phone
we rendezvous at a quarter-two
and make sure we're alone
I think I found a way for you and I to finally fly
free
When we get there
we're gonna fly so far away
making sure to laugh
while we experience anti-gravity
anti-gravity, anti-gravity
For years, I kept it to myself
now potentialities are bound
and living under my shelf
simply choose your destination
from the diamond canopy
and we'll be there
so I call you on the tin can phone
we rendezvous at a quarter-two
and make sure we're alone
I think I found a way for you and I to finally be
free
When we get there
we're gonna fly so far away
making sure to laugh

| "Nebula" |
Do you enjoy sight inside?
Disconnect and let me drift
until my upside down is right side in
society must let the artist go
to wander off into the nebula
Wander off into your nebula
see your nectarine of multiplicity
cum like orgasmatron on overdrive
wander in off to your nebula
your tangerine of electricity is ripe
and on a vine, so pick your prize
In little black book do I confide!
Upon return, I conjure what was seen
I let it pulse and boil within my limbs
I lay my pencil to the porous page
and let my lunatic indulge itself
Wander off into your nebula
see your nectarine of multiplicity
cum like orgasmatron on overdrive
wander in off to your nebula
your tangerine of electricity is ripe
and on a vine, so pick your prize
prize, prize, prize

| "Deep Inside" |
It's 3 o'clock, and we ask ourselves
'where are we now?
it seems we've wondered out of bounds again!'
Over and over we ask ourselves why
we don't utilize things that are stored
deep inside of our brains!
Deep inside
I'm on my own and I can't see straight!
deep inside
am I so stoned that I can't see straight?
Man, I've got to find my way back home
but I'm too deep inside
It's 4 o'clock, and we ask ourselves
'where did we go wrong?
we passed my house at least an hour ago!'
Over and over we ask ourselves why
we don't utilize things that are stored
deep inside of our brains!
Deep inside
I'm on my own and I can't see straight!
deep inside
cause I'm so stoned, I can't see straight
straight, straight, all right
It's 5 o'clock, and we tell ourselves
'we need to get home
the sun is creeping overhead again!'
I'm way too deep inside to get home
way too deep inside to get home
way too deep inside to get home
way too deep inside to get home
Oh my god, I've got to get home
Oh my god, I've got to get home
Oh my god, I've got to get home
way too deep inside to get home
Over and over we ask ourselves why
we don't utilize things that are stored
deep inside of our

where the fuck are we?)

| "Calgone" |
On my way home
police car pulled me over
After they left, I puttered out of gas
triple-a came, but my card was expired!
I had to walk home, and of course
it rained half the time (half the time)
I tried to get some shut-eye
then I was abducted
they put cold things in my butt
they sampled a bit of my D.N.A.
they left me on top of my sheets
I dreamt I went potty
then woke up drenched in me
This day sucked the hardest ever
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
a little bit less than nothing would go my way
I woke up to toss my soiled sheets
the hallway was dark and I stubbed my big toe
it was then that I sensed the irony (burning me)
then I heard the voice say
"come sail aboard S.S. Nepenthe!"
I suppose I'm to blame
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
a little bit less than nothing would go my way
Thank goodness
for bathtubs and suds(?)
I suppose I'm to blame for getting pulled over
I guess I'm the culprit for running out of gas
let's assume I'm the guy
who didn't pay his 'Triple-A' fee
in actuality, I let the zetas probe me
yesterday was all my fault
I let negativity get the better of me
thank goodness for the bathtubs and suds
they temporarily set free this quandary
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
a little bit less than nothing would go my way
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
a little bit less than nothing would go my way |
| "Privilege" |
Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy
Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore
maybe its me, but this life isn't going anywhere
maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door
find yourself a back door
I see you in line dragging your feet
you have my sympathy
the day you were born you were born free
that is your privilege
Isn't it strange that the man standing in front of me
doesn't have a clue why he's waiting or what he's waiting for
maybe its me but I'm sick of wasting energy
maybe if I look in my heart, I can find a back a door
find yourself a back door
I see you in line dragging your feet
you have my sympathy
the day you were born you were born free
that is your

| "Nowhere Fast" |
Will I ever get to
to where it is that I am going
will I ever follow through with what I
with what I have planned
I guess it's possible
that I have been a bit distracted
and the directions for me
are a lot less in demand
in demand
Will I ever get to where I'm going
if I do will I know when I'm there?
if the wind blew me in the right direction, yeah
would I even care?
I would
I take a look around
it's evident the scene has changed
and there are times when I feel improved
improved upon the past
and there are times when I
can't seem to understand at all
and yes it seems as though I'm going
nowhere really fucking fast
nowhere fast
Will I ever get to where I'm going
if I do will I know when I'm there?
if the wind blew me in the right direction, yeah
would I even care?

| "Consequence" |
(ha ha ha ha ha) x3
You blink and you miss a beat
keep one of your eyes open at all times
you think that your on the brink
the shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan
the consequence you'll see will be
stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
the situation has a stink better clear the air
before your son becomes a man
before your son becomes a man, yeah yeah
Blink, everything's been augmented
you've been left so far behind
I think for sure next time you should
wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head
the consequence you've seen has been
stranger than sci-fi of any kind
the situation baffles me, I guess its true
you too are one of the walking dead
You better think fast, think fast
cause you never know what's coming around the bend
you better not blink, oh blink
for consequence is a bigger word than you think
it's bigger than you or me, you or me, you or me
You or me
You better think fast, think fast
cause you never know what's coming around the bend
you better not blink, oh blink
for consequence is a bigger word than you think
it's bigger than you or me, you or me, you or me |
| "The Warmth" |
I'd like to close my eyes, go numb
but there's a cold wind coming from
the top of the highest high rise today
it's not a breeze cause it blows hard
yes and it wants me to discard
the humanity I know
watched the warmth blow away
So don't let the world bring you down
not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old
So do you think I should adhere
to that pressing new frontier
and leave in my wake, a trail of fear
should I hold my head up high
and throw a wrench in spokes by
leaving the air behind me clear
So don't let the world bring you down
not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old
So don't let the world bring you down
not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive

It's coming around again
they're letting it out again, again
it's coming around again
they're letting it out again, again
it's coming around again
they're letting it out again, again
it's coming around again
they're letting it out again
When it comes, it comes abrupt, and it feels
it feels like trading brains with an imbecile, for real
yes I feel emphatic about not being static
and not buying philosophies that are sold to me, no
at a steal
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
in comes mental piracy, and no
what I'm looking for (for)
can not be sold to me (me)
I wish they all would stop trying
cause what I want, and what I need
is and will always be free, now
It's coming around again
they're letting it out again, again
it's coming around again
they're letting it out again
When it comes, it comes unannounced, and it feels
like a matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth
and I am the bull
yes I feel emphatic about not being static
and not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me, no, no
cause now I'm full
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
in comes mental piracy, and no

| "Stellar" |
(You are stellar)
Meet me in outer space
we could spend the night
watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place
won't you come with me
we could start again
How do you do it
make me feel like I do
how do you do it
it's better than I ever knew, ooh
Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close
if your afraid of heights
I need you to see this place
it might be the only way
that I can show you how
it feels to be inside of you
How do you do it
make me feel like I do
how do you do it
it's better than I ever knew, ooh
how do you do it
make me feel like I do
Do, oh oh oh oh oh

| "Make Yourself" |
If I hadn't made me
I would've been made somehow
if I hadn't assembled myself
I'd have fallen apart by now
If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
powers that be, would have swallowed me up
but that's more than I can allow
bow, aww yeah
If you let them make you
they'll make you paper mache
at a distance you're strong
until the wind comes
then you crumble and blow away
If you let them fuck you
there will be no foreplay
rest assured, they'll screw you complete
till your ass is blue and gray
You should make amends with you
if only for better health, better health
but if you really want to live
why not try and make yourself
make yourself, make yourself
If I hadn't made me
I'd have fallen apart by now
I won't let them make me
it's more than I can allow
so when I make me
I won't be paper mache
and if I fuck me
I'll fuck me in my own way
pow, fuck me in my own way
pow, fuck me in my own way
pow, fuck me in my own way
fuck me in my own way
You should make amends with you
if only for better health, better health
but if you really want to live
why not try and make yourself
make yourself, make yourself
make yourself, make yourself |
| "Drive" |
Sometimes I feel the fear of
uncertainty stinging clear
and I can't help but ask myself
how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
haunting mass appeal
lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my
chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
that everyone else get around
lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself
my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there |
| "Clean" |
Today, everything was fine fine fine
until roundabout quarter to nine
suddenly I found myself in a bind, a bind
was it something I said, something I read
and manifest that's getting you down
don't you dare come to bed
with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried
Say what you will
say what you mean
no, you could never offend
your dirty words come out clean, clean
Tomorrow, what price will I pay
could I make it all up to you
by serving coffee for two in bed
would you then give me the time of day?
I need a map of your head translated into english
so I can learn to not make you frown
feel better if you vent
put your frustrations into four letter words
and let them out on mine
the most weathered ears in town
Say what you will
say what you mean
no, you could never offend
your dirty words come out clean
Clean, clean
clean, clean
clean, clean
Say what you will
say what you mean
no, you could never offend
your dirty words come out clean
say what you will
say what you mean
no, you could never offend
your dirty words come out clean, clean |
| "Battlestar Scralatchtica" |
| It's just an instrumental that gives a further introduction to the
next track... |
| "I Miss You" |
To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real
to know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold utopian dream
You do something to me
that I can't explain
so would I be out of line, if I said
I miss you
I see your picture, I smell your skin on
the empty pillow next to mine
you have only been gone ten days
but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon
but I need you to know that I care
and I miss you
(I miss you) |
| "Pardon Me" |
Pardon me while I burst
pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be at twenty three
on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me
but I guess that it comes with the territory
an ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
that I have had all I can take
and exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from
the burdens of the planet earth
like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
but thinking so much differently
Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
never be the same, yeah
Pardon me while I burst into flames
pardon me, pardon me, pardon me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
pardon me, never be the same, yeah |
| "Out From Under" |
To resist is to piss in the wind
anyone who does will end up smelling
knowing this why do I defy
cause my inner voice is yelling
there is a fist pressing against
anyone who thinks something compelling
our intuit we're taught to deny
and our soul we're told is for selling
Get out from under them

| "Crowded Elevator" |
Fifteen minutes to six and fourteen floors to go
thirteen suited strangers makes the crowded elevator slow
and I've got a million words and phrases on the tip of my tongue
for the only non stranger next to me soon she'll know
know, know, so let them stare
If I could think of what to say
and let you in on how I feel
need to spill
let all of it out right now
and expose every inch in front of them
Twelve more floors your eyes and mine
are all I need to come clean
or should I wait for the lobby, spare the lies
some 26 nervous eyes
argue by the little red numbers passing by
if I wait one minute longer, I think I will die
die, die, so let them stare

| "Nice To Know You" |
(Hey! hey!)
Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons
better than witnessing newborn nebulas in bloom
she who sees from up high smiles and surely sings
prospective pries her once weighty eyes and it gives you wings
I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
how much this feels like a waking limb
pins and needles, nice to know you
good-bye, nice to know you
good-bye, nice to know you
good-bye, nice to know you
good-bye, nice to know you
to know you
Deeper than the deepest Coustou would ever go
and higher than the heights of what we often think we know
blessed is she who clearly sees the wood for the trees
to obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze
I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify

how much this feels like a waking limb
pins and needles, nice to know you

| "Circles" |
You saw me lost in treading water
I looked pathetic and as helpless as a stinger without a bee
but underneath my presentation, yeah
I knew the walls were coming down
and the stones that fell were aiming away from me
Hey, what would it mean to you?
(what would it mean to you?)
to know that it'll come back around again
hey, whatever it means to you
(whatever it means to you)
know that everything moves in circles, yeah
I saw you standing in my headlights, blink blink blink
I thought I'd run you down for the weight you left on me
but then I pressed rewind, reversed and drove away
and see you, disappear in my rearview
brought to me the word reciprocity
Hey, what would it mean to you?
(what would it mean to you?)
to know that it'll come back around again
hey, whatever it means to you
(whatever it means to you)

Round and round we go

existential carousel

(Woo!)
I dig my toes into the sand
the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
pretend that I am weightless
and in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I lay my head onto the sand
the sky resembles a backlit canopy
with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
and in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
The world's a roller coaster
and I am not strapped in
maybe I should hold with care
but my hands are busy in the air
I say
I wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
wish you were here |
| "Just A Phase" |
(Oooooh) (x9)
I am bottled fizzy water
and you were shaking me up
you are a fingernail running down
the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
now my only consolation
is that this could not last forever
even though you're singing and thinking
how well you've got it made
Who are you?
when will you be through?
yeah, it's just a phase
it will be over soon
yeah, it's just a phase
yeah, it's just a... phase
Call it women's intuition
but I think I'm on to something here
temporaryism has been the black plague
and the Jesus of our age
I know that I sound opinionated
maybe biased and quite possibly jaded
but sooner than later they'll be
throwing quarters at you on the stage
Who are you?
when will you be through?
yeah, it's just a phase
it will be over soon
yeah, it's just a... phase
and I am waiting for it to be over too
(yeah, oooooh) (x7) |
| "11am" |
7 am
the garbage truck beeps as it backs up
and I start my day thinking about what I’ve thrown away
could I push rewind?
all the credits rolled in signifying the end
but I missed the best part
could we please go back to the start?
forgive my indecision
Then again, then again, then again
you're always first when no one's on your side, but
then again, then again, then again
the day will come when I want off that ride
11 am
by now you would think that I would be up
but my bed sheets shade the heated choices I made
what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
cause now you're not here
and I'm knee deep in my own fear
forgive my indecision
I am only a man
Then again, then again, then again
you're always first when no one's on your side, but
then again, then again, again, again, then again
the day will come when I want off that ride
12 pm and my dusty telephone rings
heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope its you, there, oooooh, oooooh
Then again, then again, then again
you're always first when no one's on your side, but
then again, then again, again, again, then again
the day has come, and I want off that ride |
| "Blood On The Ground" |
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
Hand over my heart I swear
I've tried everything I could within all my power
2 weeks and 1 hour
I slaved and now I've got nothing to show
oh if only you've grown taller than a brick wall
from now on, gonna start holding my breath
when you come around and you flex that fake grin
cause something inside me has said more than twice
that breathing this air beats breathing you at all
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
Hand over my mouth
I'm earning the right to my silence
in quiet discerning between ego and timing
good judgment is once again proving to me
that it's still worth its weight in gold
from now on I'm gonna be so much more weary
when you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil
seeing you is like pulling teeth
and hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
I'm fast to a better judgment
by saying less today
I will gain more, gain more
no tears to you my, my fickle friend, yeah
you you you you, you brought the art of silent war
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground |
| "Mexico" |
You could see me reaching
so why couldn't you have met me halfway
you could see me bleeding
but you could not put pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go
on the first train to Mexico
You could see me breathing
but you still kept your hand over my mouth
you could feel me seething
but you just turned your nose up in the air
You only think about yourself
you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go
on the first train to Mexico
You only think about yourself
you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go
on the first train to Mexico |
| "Warning" |
Bat your eyes girl
be otherworldly
count your blessings
seduce a stranger
what's so wrong with
being happy?
kudos to those who
see through sickness, yeah
Over and over and
over and over and oooh
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning
don't ever let life pass you by
I suggest we
learn to love ourselves
before it's made illegal
when will we learn (when will we learn)
when will we change (when will we change)
just in time to see it all come down
Those left standing will make millions
writing books on ways it should have been
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning (warning)
don't ever let life pass you by
Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
we are like frogs oblivious
to the water starting to boil
no one flinches, we all float face down
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning (warning)
don't ever let life pass you by

| "Echo" |
There's something about the look in your eyes
something I noticed when the light was just right
it reminded me twice that I was alive
and it reminded me that you're so worth the fight
My biggest fear will be the rescue of me
strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
something I've not seen
something infinitely interesting
could you show me dear?
something I've not seen
something infinitely interesting
There's something about the way you move
I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing
more subtle than something someone contrives
your movements echo that I have seen the real thing
Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you
strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear?

To get up and walk away

so stay and stand your ground

so here you and I should tread assault
as these razorblades for boots will it be
Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
have you ever tried to balance that beam?
and if you ever try to fit in my shoes
they'll never be quite as soft as they seem
Unabashed honesty
would be ideal
but a prophet did once say
that honesty's our only word
so where do we go from here?
abandon ship now
my problem is you made me melt
and I don't want to be frozen anymore
Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
have you ever tried to balance that beam?
and if you ever try to fit in my shoes
they'll never be quite as soft as they seem

| "Under My Umbrella" |
When I close my eyes
I can see for miles
there's comfort in my dark seat
and chaos in the aisles
These eyes are not your eyes
and these eyes are not the color that
your arid eyes might be
no I was not around
when those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
When I close my eyes
I remember why I smile
under my umbrella
I'm an accomplished exile
These eyes are not your eyes
and these eyes are not the color that
your arid eyes might be
no I was not around
when those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
If this is right, I'd rather be wrong
if this is sight, I'd rather be blind
These eyes are not your eyes
and these eyes are not the color that

I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
If this is right, I'd rather be wrong

oars freed from their holes long ago
lying face up on the floor
of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
and feel my heart overflow
Further down the river

Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
floating down a river named emotion
will I make it back to shore?
or drift into the unknown
Further down the river

I'm building an antenna

when I am through
maybe we can meet again
further down the river
and share what we both discovered
then revel in the view

that waiting in the throws
is on a par with reading with my eyes closed

the only shell
to circumvent the tide
shares of himself
that tells us what he knows
a piece of him will stay
the piece of him to stay, helps me grow
The piece of you
that makes you, you
that part stays
(you are divided)
the piece of you
that makes you, you
that part stays
(you are divided)
You're only divided
you're only divided
(only divided)
you're only divided
the piece of you
that makes you, you
that piece stays
the piece of you
that makes you, you
don't be afraid |
| "Familiar" (Con D.j. Grey Boy) |
Could there be a familiar ring every time I sing about
the cycle that is everything in life, no doubt I
reiterate 'til my jaw is off-set
but I'll say it again anyway
what you give is what you get
Look at you now, look at you now
you're put in your place, put in your place, all
all medicine, all medicine is smacked in the face
smacked in the face again
look at you now, look at you now
you're put in your place, put in your place, all
all medicine, all medicine is smacked in the face
smacked in the face again
So when the door comes swinging back around and the taste
of familiar medicine is abound on your breath, breath
please don't come crawling back to me
cause you'll know what I'll say
brother let your knees bleed, please
Look at you now, look at you now
you're put in your place, put in your place, all
all medicine, all medicine is smacked in the face
smacked in the face again
look at you now, look at you now
you're put in your place, put in your place, all
all medicine, all medicine is smacked in the face
smacked in the face again
Look at you now, look at you now
you're put in your place, put in your place, all
all medicine, all medicine is smacked in the face
smacked in the face again (x 4) |
| "Pillow Your Eyes" |
Viewed the scene on a black and white T.V.
chose your words "hey mom I want to be..."
so, study hard, your work became your cell
don't you dare inhale, or you'll be damned to hell! No!
Yes, back and in your prime and things are in a swirl
solaced with your choice, out pops a baby girl
family now complete, and power's in your hands
you've won the greatest prize, it's time to take a stand
Sphincter freed last on your common throne
you think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
there's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
a ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
Will you be the superman inflicting drastic change?
the power of your name has spanned out a boundless range
will you meet the needs of a fast paced, awkward, life-span I call "we"?
our trust is now within you, so by soul cries let it be
pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
Sphincter freed last on your common throne
you think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
there's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
a ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
yes, I, praise Jah
pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
