one song

[Elixir Sue]

Did it all get real? I guess it's real enough.

They got refrigerators full of blood

another century spent pointing guns

at anything that moves.

Sometimes I worry that

I've lost the plot like

My twitchin' muscles tease my flippin' thoughts.

I never really dreamed of heaven much

until we put him in the ground,

but it's all I'm doing now

listening for patterns in the

sound of an endless static sea.

But once the satellite's deceased,

it blows like garbage through the

streets of the nightsky to infinity.

 

But don't you weep for them

Don't you weep

There is nothing as lucky... Honey, don't you weep.

Don't you weep for them

There is nothing as lucky...as easy...or free.

 

Don't be a criminal in this police state.

You'd better shop and eat and pro-create.

You've got vacation days, and

you might escape to a condo on the coast.

I set my watch to the atomic clock.

I hear the crowd count down till the bomb gets dropped.

I always figured there'd be time enough

I never let it get me down, but I can't help it now

looking for faces in the clouds.

I've got some friends I barely see,

but we're all planning to meet...

we'll lay in bags as dead as leaves all together for eternity.

 

But don't you weep

Don't you weep for us

There is no one as lucky... Honey, don't you weep.

Don't you weep for us

There is nothing as lucky...as easy...or free.

[viatroy]

Walk me to the bus

Tell me it

[MrRain422]

The facts we hate:

We'll never meet walking down the road

Everybody yelling "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

But I'm waiting for you, I must go slow

I must not think bad thoughts

What's this world coming to?

Both sides are right, but both sides murder

I give up

Why can't they?

 

I must not think bad thoughts

 

The civil wars and the uncivilized wars

Conflagrations leap out of every poor furnace

The food cooks poorly and everyone goes hungry

From then on it's dog eat dog, dog eat body, and body eat dog

I can't go down there

I can't understand it

I'm a no good coward and an American too

A North American that is, not a South, Central, or Native American

I must not think bad thoughts

I'm guilty of murder of innocent men

Innocent children, innocent women, thousands of them

My planes, my guns, my money, my soldiers

My blood on my hands, it's all my fault

 

I must not think bad thoughts

 

The facts we hate:

You'll never hear us

I hear the radio is finally going to play new music

You know, the British Invasion

But what about the Minutemen, Flesh Eaters, D.O.A

Big Boys and Black Flag?

Will the last American band to get played on the radio

Please bring the flag? Please bring the flag!

Glitter disco, synthesizer night school

All this noble savage drum-drum-drum

Astronauts going back in time to hang out with the cave people

It's about time, it's about space

It's about some people in the strangest place

Woody Guthrie sang about B-E-E-T-S, not B-E-A-T-S

 

I must not think bad thoughts

I must not think bad thoughts

I must not think bad thoughts

[Elixir Sue]

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,

I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,

I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

 

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,

I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',

I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',

I saw a white ladder all covered with water,

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

 

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?

And what did you hear, my darling young one?

I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',

Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,

Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',

Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',

Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',

Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,

Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

 

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?

Who did you meet, my darling young one?

I met a young child beside a dead pony,

I met a white man who walked a black dog,

I met a young woman whose body was burning,

I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,

I met one man who was wounded in love,

I met another man who was wounded with hatred,

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

 

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,

Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,

Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,

Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,

Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,

Where black is the color, where none is the number,

And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,

And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,

Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',

But I'll know my song well before I start singin',

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

[Fakeliz]

Here's the face of trouble

it's the face I wear,

and it may invite you in,

but I won't go there

 

Here's a working model

that generates despair

And this baby cranks it out,

and it will take you out,

and I won't care

 

It's a beauty

 

It's the mark of someone

who's beyond repair

He'll refuse to help himself,

thinking only of himself,

and though he isn't by himself,

Well, it's your job now

 

There's a conversation

we're about to have

and it's full of twists and turns,

half-truths and vague concerns,

from one who never learns

to one who never learns,

and I never learn

 

Here's the face of trouble

[Dude]

If I was the sun way up there

I'd go with love most everywhere

I'll be the moon when the sun goes down

Just to let you know that I'm still around

 

That's how strong my love is, oh

That's how strong my love is,

That's how strong my love is, baby, baby,

That's how strong my love is.

 

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears

You can go swimming when you're here

I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone

Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm

 

That's how strong my love is, darling,

That's how strong my love is, baby,

That's how strong my love is, oooh,

That's how strong my love is.

 

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide

I'll get out the tears whenever you cry,

I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone

To dry your eyes and love you warm

 

That's how strong my love is, baby,

That's how strong my love is,

That's how strong my love is, darling,

That's how strong my love is,

 

That's how strong my love is, so deep in,

Well, that's how strong my love is

So much love, yes so much love, oohh,

Yes so much love, yes so much love,

Anything that I can do, I'll be good for you,

Any kind of love you want, I'll be with you

[embiggen]

I keep looking for a place to fit where I can speak my mind,

I've been trying hard to find people that I won't leave behind,

 

They say I got brains, but they ain't doing me no good,

I wish they could

 

Each time things start to happen again I think

I got something good goin' for myself

 

But what goes wrong?

 

Sometimes I feel very sad

Sometimes I feel very sad

 

Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into

 

Sometimes I feel very sad

 

Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into

 

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

 

Every time I get the inspiration to go change things around,

No one wants to help me look for places where new things might

be found,

Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out?

What's it all about?

 

Each time things start to happen again

I think I got something good goin' for myself

 

But what goes wrong?

 

Sometimes I feel very sad

Sometimes I feel very sad

Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into

 

Sometimes I feel very sad

Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into

 

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

[tkleist]

give this stone to my brother

 

[Elixir Sue]

And so it is

Just like you said it would be

Life goes easy on me

Most of the time

And so it is

The shorter story

No love, no glory

No hero in her sky

 

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...

 

And so it is

Just like you said it should be

We'll both forget the breeze

Most of the time

And so it is

The colder water

The blower's daughter

The pupil in denial

 

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off of you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...

 

Did I say that I loathe you?

Did I say that I want to

Leave it all behind?

 

I can't take my mind off of you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off of you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind...

My mind...my mind...

'Til I find somebody new

[timbits]

nice pick on the Hard Rain, Elizabeth Sue

 

tonight, it's all about:

 

If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier

She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear

Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow

She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.

 

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will

And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill

And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart

She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

 

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free

Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way

Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay.

 

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds

And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off

Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

 

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast

If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find

Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.

[Dude]

Eyeless in the morning sun you were

Pale and mild, a modern girl

Taken with thought, still prone to care

Makin tea in your underwear

You went out in the yard to find

 

Something to eat and clear your mind

Something bad inside me went away

 

Quaking leaves and broken light

Shifting skin the coming night

The bearers of all good things arrive

Climb inside us, twist and cry

A kiss on your molten eyes

 

Myriad lives like blades of grass

Yet to be realized, bow as they pass

 

They are cold,

Still,

Waiting in the ether,

To form,

Feel,

Kill,

Propagate,

Only to die

 

Dissolve

Magically,

Absurdly,

They'll end,

Leave,

Dissipate,

Coldly

And strangely

Return

[Motorik]

Yo Ren, you're ready to go get this move?

[believe that, boy]

You're strapped?

[Yeah, you know it]

Let's go do this, man, I got it all planned out

[Yeah, shoot any motherfucker that moves]

 

*pow*

["Alright everybody..."]

 

This is a stick-up, everybody get face-down

Ren, gag their mouths so they can't make a sound

Tie em up for the fact that I'm kickin ass

I got my hand on my gat, and I'm tempted to blast

My name is Eazy, but I go the hard way out

This ain't personal, but now I'm about

to commit a crime and go thru with it

You know what, no need for shakin, because I'm used to it

Take out the security guard with a slap of my hand

Yeah, he's wearin' a badge, but he's a ol ass man

Pump his ass in the head, and take his gun

so me and the punk can go one on one

Cover the lens on the TV screen

you know, so me and my gang just can't be seen

Lock the doors, and throw away the key

Close the blinds, so no motherfuckers can see

and smile, you know, cause I'm controllin the shit

and no sucker ass nigga's gonna stop the hit

Wardrobes and locs, and a Ruthless shirt

That means I'm ready to work, and rush a fool to the dirt, so

 

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

 

[Alright, anybody move and I'll blow your fuckin head off]

 

Allright...

Empty your pockets, but do it slow

Take everything you got and lay it on the fuckin floor

Don't make me have to set an example today

and blow one of you crazy motherfuckers away

I'm in a bank, and it's a little bit funny

takin all you stupid motherfuckers' money

Peepin at a bitch cause my dick's on hard

Laughin at the dumb ass security guard

who's tied up for the moment, not sayin' a word

I should have known it before, the motherfucker's a nerd

But back to the bitches I'm peepin

and then untie the hoe, so I can start creepin

Took her to the backroom, about to jack

Cold trailed the bitch, with a gun in the back

I said: "Lay down, and unbutton your bra!"

There was the biggest titties that a nigga ever saw

I said: "Damn", then the air got thinner

Only thought in my mind, was goin' up in her

The suspense was makin' me sick

She took her panties down and the bitch had a dick!

I said: "Damn", dropped the gat from my hand

[What I thought was a bitch, was nothing but a man]

Put the gat to his legs, all the way up his skirt

because this is one faggot that I had to hurt, so

 

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

 

[i said get down. I want you all face-down on the floor

Anybody moves and I shoot]

 

Stackin up the money and there's more to collect

cause I don't give a fuck, I take traveler's checks

Yo, Ren, peep out the window, and tell me what you see

[Three motherfuckin police starin at me; what to do now?]

Hurry up and get on

Allright, tell me, who is the motherfuckin alarm?

I'm a give ya a chance, and count to three

or else five of ya bitches are comin with me

[Police: Allright, Allright, come out niggaz, or we're coming in

This is the only chance to turn yourself in]

Fuck you! We got hostages, and plenty of loot

and don't give a damn and not afraid to shoot

We're sendin out the hostages, all except five

and if you don't meet our demands, they won't stay alive

We want a copter, so we can get away clean

and take some pussy along, if you know what I mean

One hostage got brave, and got off the floor

but I smoked his ass before he got to the door

[Police: They shot a hostage, they shot a hostage!]

[MC Ren: You stupid motherfucker tryin' to run

now you're dead as fuck tryin' to race a gun]

[Police: Allright, this is the last chance to get off your ass

or else the tear gas is about to blast]

I ran to the back and Ren followed behind

to a hell of a spot that was hard to find

The bank was fucked up, the shit was smokin

with screamin hostages, runnin and chokin

Gettin away, but I was suddenly stopped

at point blank range, by a motherfuckin cop

And I hope they don't think that a lesson was taught

cause a nigga like the E was finally caught

My gat wouldn't fire, the shit wouldn't work

So, y'all know what time it is

 

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

["Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt"] *pow*

 

[Police: Well I'm giving you five seconds to let us thru the gate or

I'm gonna shoot two of your guards]

 

[Hehe, they got me once, but they'll never get me again]

[Elixir Sue]

nice pick on the Hard Rain, Elizabeth Sue

Thanks, Tim.

----------------------------------------

you fell down of course

and then you got up of course

and started over

forgot my name of course

then you started to remember

 

pretty tough to think about

the beginning of december

pretty tough to think about

pretty tough to think about

yeah yeah

pretty tough to think about

 

you're looking down again

and then you look me over

we're laying down again

on a blanket in the clover

the same boy you've always known

well I guess I haven't grown

the same boy you've always known

same boy you've always known

 

think of what the past did

it could've lasted

so put it in your basket

I hope you know a strong man

who can lend you a hand

lowering my casket

 

I thought this is just today

and soon you'd be returning

the coldest blue ocean water

cannot stop my heart and mind from burning

everyone who's in the know says

that's exactly how it goes

and if there's anything good about me

I'm the only one who knows

[pnêyu]

Tell me why I feel so bad, honey

TV's flat and nothing is funny

I get sad and stuck in a cone of silence

Like a big balloon with nothing for ballast

Labeled like a bottle for Alice

Drink me down or I'll drown in a sea of giants

 

And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you

It's nonstop memories of you

It's like a video of you playing

It's all loops of seven-hour kisses

Cut with a couple near-misses

Back to the scene of the actor saying:

'Tell me, baby, baby

[tkleist]

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing

I know the barricades, and

I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

 

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognize the weapons

I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

 

This is my world

And I am world leader pretend

This is my life

And this is my time

I have been given the freedom

To do as I see fit

It's high time I've razed the walls

That I've constructed

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

We hear you're leaving, that's OK

I thought our little wild time had just begun

I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run

But if you have a change of heart

 

Rikki don't lose that number

You don't wanna call nobody else

Send it off in a letter to yourself

Rikki don't lose that number

It's the only one you own

You might use it if you feel better

When you get home

 

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name

We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row

We could stay inside and play games, I don't know

And you could have a change of heart

 

Rikki don't lose that number

You don't wanna call nobody else

Send it off in a letter to yourself

Rikki don't lose that number

It's the only one you own

You might use it if you feel better

When you get home

 

You tell yourself you're not my kind

But you don't even know your mind

And you could have a change of heart

 

Rikki don't lose that number

You don't wanna call nobody else

Send it off in a letter to yourself

Rikki don't lose that number

It's the only one you own

You might use it if you feel better

When you get home

[Elixir Sue]

well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun

with that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons

and when you look up at the sky

all you see are zeros

all you see are zeros and ones

 

you took my hand and led me down to watch a kewpie doll parade

we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

it's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid

and I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 

the masterfade

I coulda played along

the masterfade

I coulda played Mah Jongg

but it just takes too long

and I just can't remember

which way the east wind blows does it matter?

if we're all matter

what's it matter does it matter

if we're all matter when we're done?

when the sky is full of zeros and ones

 

I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain

I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain

with GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees

your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees

 

if the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7

the junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11

and if the 1s just hold their place the 0s make a smiley face

when they come floating down from the heavens

 

you took my hand and led me down to watch a papillon parade

we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

you squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid

'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 

the masterfade

I coulda played along

the masterfade

I coulda played Mah Jongg

but it just takes too long

and who the hell can remember

which way the east wind blows

when you're lying on the ground

staring up at an inverted compass

I mean Christ who Knows?

[Analogman]

Met myself a comin' county welfare line.

I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line.

Saw myself a goin', down to war in June.

All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.

 

Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone,

Wrote a song for truth.

Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone

When I couldn't even talk to you.

 

Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail.

Richmond 'bout to blow up, Communication failed.

If you see the answer, now's the time to say.

All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.

 

Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone,

Wrote a song for truth.

Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone

When I couldn't even talk to you.

 

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.

Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same.

Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.

They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

[Elixir Sue]

There's something about you

That reminds me of all those times

When I wasn't sorry, when I wasn't blue

The cherry moon it shone down on us

Under the stars shining down every one for you

If I could count them all

I would circle the moon

And count 'em back to nothing

Till I got to you

 

Something in you dies, when it's over

Everybody cries sometimes

If loving you's a dream

That's not worth having

Then why do I dream of you?

 

I used to be the house that you lived in

Down on Meadowlake Street

When you moved they cut down the maple tree

I carved your name into

The tree became a boat, I christened it your name

And when the water turned to salt

From your tears it hit the bottom of the ocean

Where I go when I hear your name

And I sink like a stone

 

Something in you dies, when it's over

Everybody cries sometimes

If loving you's a dream

That's not worth having

Then why do I dream of you?

Why do I dream of you

 

i feel like a dream that's not worth having

Like a nervous joke ain't nobody laughing

Like somebody with nothing 'cause they don't know

What they're wanting

Tiny like the sand in the cracks of drift wood

Washed up on the shore of an ocean of you

Boats out on the horizon

Made of the maple tree where we used to lie down

On Meadowlake Street counting the stars you and I

You and I

 

Something in you dies when it's over

Everybody cries sometimes

If loving you's a dream that's not worth having

Then why do I dream of you

Why do I dream of you

Why

[Guest Laminated Kat]

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

The photograph on the dashboard,

taken years ago,

Turned around backwards

so the windshield shows.

Every streetlight reveals

the picture in reverse.

Still, it

[GPARSUNDA]

hazy day / makin' my way

out somewhere on the motorhighway

headin' down / i'm east coast bound

another day's been lost and found

 

i wrote down a few things to say

i've got a few things left to say to my best friend's grave

and i'm hardly awake

i pull in to a stop on the motorhighway

 

silly day / i read in the trades

they're making films about friends i'd made

no sound / they just turned around

next thing you know they were lost then / found

 

goodbye west coast

i'm going back / i'm going home

goodbye west coast

i'm going home

 

i broke down in a halfway town

news of the day is some poor girl drowned

the papers say / she went to the bay

the very next day they just found her that way

 

sunny day / traffic waits

a child waves to the motorcade /fade

ah the windows down

a pretty sound's been lost then / found (alright)

 

goodbye west coast

i'm going back / i'm going home

goodbye west coast

i'm going home

 

i'm making my way to my best friend's grave

i'm making my way to my best friend's grave

a child waves to the motorcade

i'm making my way to my best friend's grave

im making my way / well

 

goodbye west coast

i'm going home

[bjorn_skurj]

Watch out now, take care

Beware of falling swingers

Dropping all around you

The pain that often mingles

In your fingertips

Beware of darkness

 

Watch out now, take care

Beware of the thoughts that linger

Winding up inside your head

The hopelessness around you

In the dead of night

 

Beware of sadness

It can hit you

It can hurt you

Make you sore and what is more

That is not what you are here for

 

Watch out now, take care

Beware of soft shoe shufflers

Dancing down the sidewalks

As each unconscious sufferer

Wanders aimlessly

Beware of maya

 

Watch out now, take care

Beware of greedy leaders

They take you where you should not go

While weeping atlas cedars

They just want to grow, grow and grow

Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)

[M. (hristine]

she is benediction

she is addicted to thee

she is the root connection

she is connecting with he

 

here I go and I don't know why

I fell so ceaselessly

could it be he's taking over me...

 

I'm dancing barefoot

heading for a spin

some strange music draws me in

makes me come on like some heroin/e

 

she is sublimation

she is the essence of thee

she is concentrating on

he, who is chosen by she

 

here I go and I don't know why

I spin so ceaselessly,

could it be he's taking over me...

 

 

she is re-creation

she, intoxicated by thee

she has the slow sensation that

he is levitating with she ...

 

here I go and I don't know why,

I spin so ceaselessly,

'til I lose my sense of gravity...

 

 

(oh god I fell for you ...)

 

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face

the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself

grave visitations

what is it that calls to us?

why must we pray screaming?

why must not death be redefined?

we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms

and whirl on a pane of glass

an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree

the hands of he and the promise that she is blessed among women.

 

(oh god I fell for you ...)

[Guest gsteinb]

are you guys, like, doing it?

[M. (hristine]

Sure.

 

 

Who else is gonna bring you

A broken arrow

Who else is gonna bring you

A bottle of rain

There he goes, moving across the water

There he goes turning my whole

world around

 

Do you feel what I feel

Can we make that so it's part of the deal

I gotta hold you in these arms of steel

Lay your heart on the line ... this time

 

I wanna breathe when you breathe

When you whisper like that hot

summer breeze

Count the beads of sweat that cover me

Didn't you show me a sign, this time

 

Who else is gonna bring you

A broken arrow

Who else is gonna bring you

A bottle of rain

There he goes, moving across the water

There he goes turning my whole

world around

 

Can you see what I see

Can you cut behind the mystery

I will meet you by the witness tree

Leave the whole world behind

 

I want to come when you call

I'll get to you if I have to crawl

They can't hold me with these iron walls

We've got mountains to climb

 

Who else is gonna bring you

A broken arrow

Who else is gonna bring you

A bottle of rain

There he goes, moving across the water

There he goes turning my whole

world around
