How to fight it
03:03
|

Say it
Mean it
Hear it
Know it
Hate it
Love it
Peel it
Stick it
Eat it
Tuck it
Nip it
Battle it now while you still know how
And you take your show on the road
Drag the clowns in their friar gowns
And you break that idiot code
Start of the show.
Shine your light
Into the fight
And see what it shows
Will you make it out
will you redeem the crowd?
Nobody knows.
End of days everybody prays
When at last they see themselves
At the edge of a canyon
With a strange companion
And they hear that ringing bell
There’s nothing to sell
Shine your light
Into the fight
And see what it shows
Will you make it out
Will you redeem the crowd?
Nobody knows.

No one going nowhere

Always hits me in the summer.
Kill me with a shot of wonder.
Then I know my mind is like the sky.
Find it underneath the blanket
after Maharajji drank it.
You couldn’t lose it even if you tried.
It doesn’t take a lot to make me fall down at your feet.
Just get me at the right time, kick me where I feel the heat.
I’m no one going nowhere.
You’re nobody.
Everybody wants to feel the nothing you embody.
You’re the mirror. I’m the folly.
I got to tell you
and it’s something that I’ll try to tell you straight,
right to your face,
that when you look into my mind
and open up my eyes
the sun floats off into space.
The moon was shining,
blooming in the night inviting me
to take her home
and touch all her rays.
Find it underneath the blanket,
a rose from Maharajji’s banquet.
You would never, ever leave his side.
It doesn’t take a lot to make my pedals open wide,
just bring the light to all those open spaces where I hide.
I’m no one going nowhere.
You’re nobody.
Everybody wants to feel the nothing you embody.
You’re the mirror. I’m the folly.

Crazy Jane gets God
04:30
|

Crazy Jane, she loves the rain,
and naked lays on the grass.
The sun arrives, she shuts her eyes,
and waits for all things to pass.
If she can’t have it all
she won’t be satisfied,
the body and the soul
desire purified.
‘Cause crazy Jane will take your pain
until you’re open wide.
All remains in God.
Wild Jack, he won’t come back.
That road he took is long gone.
Her body’s like the sun, she never
moans but how she sings on.
If she can’t have it all
she won’t be satisfied,
the body and the soul
desire purified.
‘Cause crazy Jane will take your pain
until you’re open wide.
All remains in God.
If she can’t have it all
she won’t be satisfied,
the body and the soul
desire purified.
‘Cause crazy Jane will take your pain
until you’re open wide.
Crazy Jane cannot contain
the worlds that bloom inside her.
She aims her wand, the sky is calmed,
and yeah, that’s me beside her.

Haley, you're my comet
03:18
|

Take a spoonful
of disapproval
and make it tuneful
and with a handful
all you can handle
in your confusion
you made it human
when you tuned in
Tune in to the signal that is filling up the sky
like the fire inside my mind the signal multiplies
soon the whole world’s a dragonfly
take a spoonful
and let it drop.
Haley you’re my comet and I loved you in this world.
Everything you promised moves like stars and fire swirl.
I will always love you in this world.
I will always love you in this world.
I will always love you in this world.
Take a spoonful
and make it tuneful.
Haley you’re my comet and I loved you in this world.
Haley you’re my comet and I loved you in this world.
I will always love you in this world.
I will always love you in this world.
I will always love you in this world.
in your confusion
you made it human

Alice has a metronome

Alice has a metronome
she keeps a beat.
I feel her playing through the ceiling as I sleep.
No man’s gonna make her stop.
She’s the girl on top.
And she’s shining down on me.
And the songs flow like a stream
from her fingers through my dreams.
I wake up feeling clear
in this flowering atmosphere
and I can’t help but to keep her spirit near.
Everyone needs someone that severe.
Alice has a metronome,
it’s in her heart.
A kick drum pumping blood,
it’s such a work of art.
I feel it running through her veins
and straight back to my brain.
Where she’s shining down on me.
And the songs flow like a stream
from her fingers through my dreams.
It’s moving in the ground.
I kick and it comes back around
and it keeps flowing,
flowing in and out.
Never felt so good to get so loud.

Queen of the fading star
02:55

Say what you want to do.
Say what I put you through.
And scrape every shade of color from the face I drew.
Hits topping all the charts,
You really got hear the best parts,
the aches and the shakes
of the queen of the fading star
Old men sleeping in the shade
your dreams are fading
your dreams are fading
I never loved this world you made
but I am staying
I am staying
staying
staying.
Say what you want to do.
Say what I put you through.
And scrape every shade of color from the face I drew.
Love what you can’t endure,
then you’ll know what it’s for,
and you will see yourself like never before.
