SOMETIMES

Large fingers pushing pain

You're God and you got big hands

Colors blend

The challenges you give me



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

here God

HAIL, HAIL

Ah is there room for both of us

Both of us as one

Are we bound out of obligation

Is that all we've got?



I hear the words and then I get to thinking

I don't wanna think

I wanna feel

How do I feel

How do I?



If you're the only one

When I never be enough then?

Hail, Hail the lucky ones

I refer to those in love



I gonna love you till the day I die

Ah, and beyond

Are we going to the same place?

If so, can I come?



Can tag along anything can happen

The past it carried

I can be nude

Don't underestimate me



If you're the only one

When I never be enough then?

Hail, Hail the lucky ones

I refer to those in love



Yah!



Sometimes realize

I could only be as good as you let me

Are you woman enough to be my man

Bangaged hand in hand



Yo!



Like winding on the run

In a race that can't be one

All hail the luck ones

I refer to those in love



If your my only one

So good you only want

I want to be your one

Enough

Your one, your one, your one

WHO YOU ARE

Come to send, not condescend

Transcended to consequences

To transcend

Where we are

Who are we, Who we are



Trampled marks on your souls

Changes all your apart

Seen it all, not at all

Can't defend, Fucked up men



Take me for a ride

Before we leave



Circumstance, clapping hands

I dry in winds, ever in stance

Off the track, in the mud

That's the marks, Every one should nurse



Just a little time

Before we leave



Stop light plays it parts

So I would say, you've got a part

What's you part, who you are

you are who, who you are

IN MY TREE

Up here in my tree, yeah

Newspapers matter not to me

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

I ashtrayed on the street, yo, oh

Sidewall cigarettes

It seems they're dead



Up here so high I start to shake

Up here so high, the sky I scrape

I'm so high I hold just one breath

Keep it in my chest,

Just like innocence



I remember when

I thought I knew everything

They say knowledge is a tree

Growing up just like me



I'm so lucky with these shades

I'm so high the sky I scrape

I'm so high I'll hold just one breath

Deep within my chest

Sleepless



Up here so high the bows they break

Up here so high the sky I scrape

And my eyes feel both wide open

And I gotta glimpse of my innocence

I fight my innocence

I got it, said keep it

SMILE

Don't it make you smile?

Don't it make you smile?

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?

When the sun don't shine (it don't shine at all)

Don't it make me smile?



I miss you already

I miss you always

I miss you already

I miss you all days



(this is how I feel)



I miss you already, hey

I miss you always

Three crooked hearts, swirls all around

I miss you all days



Gonna make you smile (fade out)

OFF HE GOES

Know a man

His face seems pulled and tense

Likes 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 takin'

Too much on

There he goes

With his perfectly unkept hope

There he goes



He's yet to come back

But I see his picture

It doesn't look the same up on the rack

We go way back



I wonder bout his insides

It's like his thoughts are too big for his size

He's been takin'

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 have been burned

For he still smiles

And he's still strong

Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshir

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 then

Before his first step

He's off again

HABIT

Seen it happen to a couple of friends

Seen it happend and the message it sends

Taking off for what's 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



Another habit says it's in love with you

Another habit says its love's 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 (x3)

Never thought you (x2)

Never thought you'd habit (x3)

Never thought you

Never, never thought you

Never thought you'd habit (x6)



Speaking as a child of the '90's



Never thought you'd habit (x3)

Never thought you (x2)

Never thought you'd habit (x3)

Never thought you

Never, never thought you

Never me

Never you

Never me

RED MOSQUITO

Watched from a window

With a red mosquito

I was not allowed to leave the room

I saw the sun go down

And now it's coming up

Somewhere in the time between



I was bitten

Must have been the devil

He was just paying me

A little visit

Reminded me of his presence

Letting me know

He's a waiting



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 (x2)



I was bitten

Must have been the devil

He was just paying me

A little visit

Reminded me of his presence

Letting me know

He's a waiting (x2)



If I had known then, what I know right now (x4)

LUKIN

Walked down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home

I'll take a walk so I can close my ass in a little dump

I'll make you learn the undistinguished prison bone (?)

So let the supermarket people sell their common guns



I'm going to Lukin's

I got a spot at Lukin's

I've gotta go to Lukin's

Open the fridge

Now I know what life is worth 



I find the key but then I turn to find an open door

So fucking bring who claims a father my revolver son

I'm on my walk back home and call the cops these things were never done

Nothing hurts in the frequent purchasing a fuckin 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 trails



You can spend your time alone 

Redigesting past regrets,  ooh

Or you can, come to terms and 

Realize you're the alone that can forgive yourself, ooh

Makes much more sense

To live in the present tense



Have you ideas on how this life ends

Checked the hands and studied the lines

Have you ever believed that the road ahead

Ascends off, into the light

Seems that needlessly it's getting harder

To find an approach and know where to live

Are we getting something out of this

More than encompassing trails



You can spend you time alone 

Redigesting past regrets, ooh

Or you can come to terms and 

Realize you're the only one who cannot forgive yourslef, OOH!

It 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 dippin 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 (x6)

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 6, he believed that the moon overhead followed him

By 9, he had deciphered the illusion

Trading magic for facts

No trade backs

So this is what it is like to be an adult

If he only knew now what he knew then



I'm open (x2)

Come on in (x4)

I'm open  (x2)

Come on in (x4)



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 all well

Finding peace within yourself

Lovers of I guess you all

I'll be watching as you breathe



I lie still 

You move 

I send

You off around the bend



I hold your head deep in my arms

My fingertips they close your eyes

Off 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 me wont' you dear

Please forgive and let be shared



With you around the bend



You're an angel when you sleep

How I want your soul to keep

On and on around the bend
