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
