1)
Sometimes
Large fingers pushing paint
You're god and you've 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 dear god
2) Hail, Hail
Ah is there room for both of us both of us apart
Are we bound out of obligation is that all we got
I get the words and then I get to thinking
I don't want to think I want to feel
And how do I feel and how do I
If you're the only one will I never be enough yeah
Hail hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love yeah
Oh how I'll love you til the day I die and beyond
Are we going to the same place if so can I come
It's egg rolling thick and heavy all the past you carry
Oh I could be new you underestimate me
If you're the only one will I 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
I find it on the 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 could you only one
I want to be your one enough you want no one you're one
3) Who You Are
Come to send not condescend
Transcendent to consequences
To transcend where we are
Who are we who we are
Trampled marks on your souls
Changes all you're a part
Seen it all not at all
Can't defend fucked up men
Take me for a ride before we leave
Circumstance clappin' hands
A driving winds happenstance
Off the track in the mud
That's the marks before mentioned words
Just a little time before we leave
Stop light plays its part
So I would say you've got a part
What's your part who you are
You are who who you are
4) 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
I wave to all my friends yeah
They don't seem to notice me no
Ah their eyes strait on the street yo oh
Sidewalks cigarettes and seams yeah yeah
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 deep within my chest
Just like innocence
Eddie's new better home
Eddie falls in the home
Oh the blue sky it's his home
Eddie's blue sky home
Oh the blue sky it's his home
I remember when yeah
I swore I knew everything oh yeah
They say knowledge is a tree yeah
It's growing up just like me yeah
I'm so light the wind me shakes
I'm so high the sky I scrape
Yea I'm so high I hold just one breath to go back to my nest
To sleep with innocence
Up here so high the boughs they break
Up here so high the sky I scrape
And my eyes feel both wide open
And I got a glimpse of my innocence
Got back my innocence
Still got it still got it
Inner self?
5) Smile
Don't it make you smile (x2)
When the sun don't shine
It don't shine at all
Don't it make you smile (x2)
Don't it make me smile yea
When the sun don't shine it don't shine at all yea
Don't it make me smile
I miss you already I miss you always
I miss you already yea I miss you all day
This is how I feel
I miss you already yea I miss you always
Three crooked hearts swirls all around yea
I miss you all day
Don't it make you smile (x2)
Three crooked hearts swirls all around
Don't it make you smile
6) 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 too fast
Said he'll see me on the flipside
Of this trip he's taking for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
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 about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too 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 have 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 is off again
7) Habit
See it happen to a couple of friends
See it happen and the message it sends
Takeing 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 it'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 (x3)
I Never thought you
Never thought you
Never thought you'd habit (x3)
I 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)
I Never thought you
Never thought you
Never thought you'd habit (x3)
I Never thought you
Never never thought you
Never
Never me Never you Never me
8) 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 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
Reminding me of his presence
Letting me know he's waiting ohh
Red man's your neighbor call it behavior
While you're climbing up slippery hairs
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
Reminding me of his presence
And letting me know he's waiting
He's waiting ohh there yea
If I had known then what I know now (x4)
9) Lukin
Drive down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home
I'll take a walk so I could curse my ass for being dumb
I'll make a right after the arches stinking grease and bone
Stopped at the supermarket people stare like I'm a god
I'm going to Lukins
I've got a spot at Lukins
I knocked the door at Lukins
Open the fridge
Now I know life is worth
I found the key but I returned to find an open door
Some fucking freak who claims I fathered by rape her own son
I find my wife I call the cops this days work's never done
The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun
10) Present Tense
Do you see the way that tree bends
Does it inspire
Leaning out to catch the sun's 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
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light
Seems that needlessly it's 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 ohh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself ohh oh
Makes more sense to live in the present tense
?????
11) 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
What's got the whole world faking (x4)
What's got the whole world faking it yea
12) 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's staring
He's alive but feels absolutely nothing
So is he
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact
No tradebacks
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then
I'm open (x2)
Come in (x4)
I'm open (x2)
Yeah
Come in (x4)
Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
He decides to dream dream up a new self for himself
13) Around The Bend
I'm wishing you a well
Mind a peace within your cell
Covers up I cast you off
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 (x2)
All evenings close like this
All these moments that I've missed
Please forgive me 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
On and on around the bend
