Why Cats Purr
03:32
|

What is the flower that you wear on your skin?
My nose now, almost makes, my face worth living in.
It's a pleasure, these senses,
I'll admit, I'm defenseless.
I'll take you south, where the stars can be seen.
Autumn chill, in the air, in the vast purple green.
All the thrill, and the wonder
of the sky, we live under.
I can't imagine no one else, living here.
It is easy took for granted, when there's beauty everywhere.
Cart me off, from the drive-in
if I dare to leave the car on.
We all need a home.

GOSPEL
02:10
|

The wait is over
you thought you were dumb, but now you know
you knew everything!
Forked tongue, reptellian kind.
Fuck around for eight days, no numerical sign
of doom or love.
Our beliefs are all lies, it's alright.
Eight years they come,
we feel, we've been
wandering forever.
Old man goes child, old girl pass right
through ribcage.
Our beliefs are all lies, it's alright.

Lillie Jayne Grey,
Why you wanna cut me down, say that I'm ok
when you know that I aspire to something else...
She come from out on the island.
It's in her blood, to be a pirate.
Look sharp, know that she sees you,
Blue eyes, won't be deceived.
Sonic siren, tyrant tenacity.
Lillie Jayne Grey,
Why you wanna cut me down, say that I'm ok
when you know that I aspire to something else...
Ex-ecstatic, dollar-tragic
When gobbeldy-gook gets turned into magic.
Look sharp, know that she sees you,
Blue eyes, won't be deceived.
But it's a bitter thing to see
your destiny will not be
tied up with that of madame...
Lillie Jayne Grey,
Why you wanna cut me down, say that I'm ok
when you know that I aspire to something else...

HIGHER THAN STONED
02:08
|
|||
A good way to get high, is holding your breath in
1,2,3 to 9, to 5500
And the clouds be called the heart's new home
Short with trouble, and higher than stoned.
Higher than stoned!
On higher earth, alternate dimension
The handbuilded house is jamming with children
Higher than stoned!

Feel
03:50
|
|||
Near the end of time when looking out on the feel,
hope we can avoid it, ending clockly time
if we feel, feel, feel.
Every icy shoulder's glory to glod
trembles in the power of imagination
you can feel, feel, feel.
Mucho sensitivo, isolare sol
they be jokin' very bad jokes
but baby you got what it takes to feel, feel, feel.
While the earth remains up in third place to the sun
I dream for my nieces,
that they will still have the chance to
feel, feel, feel...

DRAGON
04:42
|
|||
Lavender eel, spinned in silk
drawn upon the land by warming milk
Chariot fire, wax 45
food gets chewed to keep the teeth alive
Dog in the face, baboon soul
iridescent alligator troll.
Kernel of corn, popped in a vat
apple can be whole meal just like that
Ellington mood, indigo hue
nipple tongue releases every pressure
Beast of desire, hero of straw
Natas is a fraud
Any memo-mee-memory
Can be climbed into kind of like dream
Sit with your legs, painful style
Days and days of shuttered eyes divine
Your very firstborn, covered in scales
Bigger than all beaches and all whales.
Dragon.

Ghost In The Night
03:05
|
|||
In the city bar, hotel, room, temples walls you got trouble
In the desert waste, the cozy home, down salacious trouble.
Afterworld, after hours, every hour, trouble.
Odd sensation tipped to tears, psychologic trouble.
Ghost in the night, relax your spirit.
I'm the man who can turn you around, I can cleave your face from trouble.
And the miracle kiss from my mouth can get you out of trouble.
Ghost in the night, relax your spirit.

I WANT TO BE HERE
03:14
|
|||
In the sky where they make the faces
I was seen as such a pain
I begged my master: "Won't you hurry?!?!?!"
And I came away strange.
I want to be here.
Wound up in the elevator, coming like a screwball
I try to say: "How you doin' neighbor?"
They don't wanna talk at all.
I want to be here.
When is it clear, when do you decide to give your very last fuck?
I can't sleep cause I'm stupid grateful, I don't wanna miss this show.
Every sunset blows my mind, every singin' sparrow.
I want to be here.

What kind of witch can only live for the now
only ever the now
never for the after?
Never fearing in the chemical brain
for the cancer pain
or another disaster?
Who isn't tired, who isn't? Who isn't T-Y-R-D...tired.
I could tell when I was tiny five
that the most of folks, they were eaten alive.
Robert Palmer was a beautiful man
but his heart gave out, and his soul left his body.
I remember when "Addicted to Love" was a popular song
I would sing out my heart to.
"It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love."
Who isn't tired, who isn't? Who isn't T-Y-R-D...tired.

Psychoheart
03:43
|
|||
Some friends fade away
and the time you spent together
doesn't seem to matter much
the love has died.
Sometimes you can feel,
other psychohearted humans
in a way you can't describe.
It's in the eyes.
The heart, feels, goes, PSYCHO.
One friend I would give up my eyebrows, broken teeth for
if she ever were caught up, in brutal crime.
The heart, feels, goes, PSYCHO.
I believe in a different heart, I believe in a psycho.
I believe in a different heart, I believe in a psycho.
I believe in a different kind of psychoheart.
The heart, feels, goes, PSYCHO.

UNDERSERPENT
07:18
|
|||
Through window, in twilight,
Under moon, round with light.
Here to pause, hearing the sound,
train whistle, plane will rise.
Whoever's king, evil won't come into my house.
Evil's only, one human suffering lack of love.
Some of the people, are very hatefully on the earth.
For as fucked as my spirit is, I don't want to hate.
Why your rage?
Calm your snake brain.
Life is strange.
Understatement.
Clear yourself to, feel the dream coming after the rage
I will hold you, turn to me before you kill anyone.
Choose your way down, feel the wind coming over the train.
Older babies, grew their wings living on this earth.
Under pain, you are safe now.
Underserpent, calm yourself down.
