Sometimes
Large fingers pushing paint
You're god and you got big hands
The colors blend, the challenges you give man

Seek my part, devote myself
My small self, like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Sometimes I know, sometimes I rise
Sometimes I fall, sometimes I don't
Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I live
Sometimes I walk, sometimes I kneel
Sometimes I speak of nothing at all
Sometimes I reach to myself, hear god

Hail, Hail
Ah, is there room for the both of us, both of us apart
Are we bound out of obligation, is that all we've got?
I get the words, and then I get to thinking
But I don't want to think, I want to feel
How do I feel, and how do I

If you're the only one, well I'll never be enough, yeah
Hail, hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love, yeah

A-how I love you till the day I die, ah and beyond
Are we going to the same place, if so can I come?
It's egg rolling thick and heavy, all the past we carry
Oh, I could be new, you underestimate me
If you're the only one, well I'll never be enough, yeah
Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah

I sometimes realize, I could only be as good, as you'll let me
Are you woman, enough to be my man, bandaged hand in hand, yeah

I find it on my run in a race that can't be won, yeah
All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
If you're my only one, so good you only one
I want to be your one, enough, you won, your one, your hun

Who You Are
Come to send, not condescend
Transcendental consequences, to transcend
Where we are, who are we?, who we are

Trampled moss, on your soul
Changes all, your apart
Seen it all, not at all
Can't defend the command

Take me for a ride before we leave
Circumstance, clapping hands
A-driving winds, happenstance
Off the track, in the mud
That's the moss in the aforementioned verse

miraculous, and a little

Just a little time, before we leave
Stoplight, plays its part
So I would say, you've got a part
Whats your part?
Who you are, you are who, who you are

In My Tree

Up here in my tree, yeah
Newspapers matter not to me, yeah, no
No more crowbars to my head, yeah
I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah

Wave to all my friends, yeah
They don't seem to notice me, no
All thier eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
Sidewalks, cigarettes, and scenes, yeah, yeah

Up here so high I start to escape
Up here so high, the sky I scrape
I'm so high, I hold just one breath here within my chest
Just like innocence

I remember him, yeah
I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
They say knowledge is a dream, yeah
He's growing up just like me, yeah

I'm so light, the wind he shakes
I'm so high, the sky I scrape, yeah
I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest
Sleep with innocence

Up here so high, the bars they break
Up here so high, the sky I scrape
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence, got back my innocence
Baby got it, still got it

Smile
Don't it make you smile? (2x)
When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
Don't it make you smile?

Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make me smile? yeah
When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all, yeah
Don't it make me smile?

I miss you already, yeah, I miss you always
I miss you already, yeah, I miss you all day
This is how I feel
I, I miss you already, yeah, I miss you always
The crooked heart swells all around, yeah, I miss you all day

The crooked heart swells all around, yeah
Don't it make you smile? (2x)
The crooked heart swells all around

Off He Goes
Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's riding, on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much to fast

Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been taking to much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes

He's yet to come back, but I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back

And I wonder bout his insides
Its like his thoughts are to big for his size
He's been taken, where I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes

And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what, should've been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown

And now he's home, and we're laughing
Like we always did my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
Before his first step, He's off again

Habit
Seen it happen to a couple of friends
Seen it happen and the message it sends
Taking off for whats an obvious fall
Just to see what all the fuss is about

It's not your way, not your way
It's not your way, yeah

Another habit, sentence him up with you
Another habit, says he's long overdue
Another habit, like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

It's not your way, not your way
It's not your way

Never thought you'd habit (3x)
I never thought you, never thought you
Never thought you'd habit (3x)
I never thought you, never never thought you
Never thought you'd habit (6x)

Speaking as a child of the nineties

Never thought you'd habit (3x)
I never thought you, never thought you
Never thought you'd habit (3x)
I never thought you, never never thought you
Never, never me, never you, never me

Red Mosquito
Watched from the window, with a red mosquito
I was not allowed to leave the room
I saw the sun go down, and now its coming up
Somewhere in the time between

I was bitten, must have been the devil
He was just paying me
A little visit, a-reminding me of his presence
And letting me know, he's a waiting, for me

Red man's your neighbor, call it behavior
While your climbing up slippery hills
Two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck
Hovering just above your bed (2x)
I was bitten, must have been the devil
He was just paying me
A little visit, reminding me of his presence
And letting me know, he's a waiting, he's a waiting
Up there, yeah
If I had known then, what I know now (4x)

Lukin
Drive down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home
I take a walk so I can curse my ass for being dumb
I make a right after the arches stinking grease and bone
Stop at the supermarket people stare like I'm a dog

I've been going to Lukin's, I gotta spot that Lukin's
I knocked the door at Lukin's, Opened the fridge
Now I know life is worth

I find the key but I return to find an open door
So fucking freezing they jump out the car everybody wants some
I find my wife, I call the cops, this day's works never done
The last I heard the freak was purchasing a fucking gun

Present Tense
Do you see, the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the suns rays, A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip

You can, spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one, who can forgive yourself, oh yeah
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked you hands and studied the lines?
Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly, its getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can, come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
A-makes much more sense, to live, in the present tense

Mankind
You'll be, going out with radio
Going out with disco, going out like bacchanal
I'll be, going out with telephone
Going out alone, to the radar zone

It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking, it?

I'll be, playing with my magazine
Using up my listerine, like ovaltine
And you'll be, dipping in your battleship
For the latest tip, for the latest dream

It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking, it?

If it's just inadvertent, imitation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking, it?
Whats got the whole world faking? (4x)
What's got the whole world faking, it, yeah

I'm Open
A man lies in his bed in a room with no door
He waits, hoping for a presence, something, anything to enter
After spending half his life searching
He still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared
He is alive but feels absolutely nothing, So is he?

When he was 12 he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By 9, he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact
No tradebacks
So this is whats its like to be an adult
If he only knew now, what he knew then

I'm open (2x)
Come on in (4x)
I'm open (2x)
Come on in (4x)
I'm open

Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers he decides to dream
Dream up a new self, for himself

Around the Bend
I'm wishing you a-well, mind at peace within yourself
Covers up, I cast you off, I'll be watching as you breathe
I'd lie still, you move, I'd send you off around the bend

I hold your head deep in my arms, my fingertips they close your eyes
Of you dream, my little child, there's a sun around the bend
There's, a sun, around the bend

All the evenings close like this, all these moments that I've missed
Please forgive, won't you dear
Please forgive and let me share with you around the bend

You're an angel when you sleep
How I want your soul to keep of and all around the bend
