1. A THOUSAND FORMS OF MIND This really feels like flying when I'm lighter than air perhaps I'm underwater, floating God knows this could be anywhere at least my lungs are still breathing at least my heart still beats at least my brain is still thinking at least thats what I believe I believe I remember slipping or maybe sliding or tripping the whole damn sea was ripping unstable and biting and sickly get behind me, stand back all you devils good God almighty get behind me I passed a hundred thousand houses every door wide open but nowhere feels like home how long must I keep going 2. I HAVE TO LAUGH Woke up this morning, I had to laugh I saw you lying there, I had to laugh last night come clear, I had to laugh listening to the rain, I had to laugh So I talked to the devil, I had to laugh I talked to God, we just sat and laughed Those people are funny, they make me laugh So damn funny, I nearly pissed my pants There's no way out, I have to laugh Ain't no way back, I have to laugh we can go home, I have to laugh It's getting dark, I have to laugh Another day finished Another day done I'm right here next to you Hoping tomorrow will come I have to laugh 3. OBLIVION She rolled up from the bar with caloor and cream parked her wheelchair by the kareoke machine closed her eyes and sang "Dancing Queen" She sang the shit out of Dancing Queen He left town because it could not get any worse Moved to Santa Fe and increased his girth Dropped the spoon and picked up the fork On a commune making teachers of the Earth Everybody wants A good time Everybody wants Everything to be alright Oblivion 4. TRY TO BE KIND So hot, and wet been days and days and days since I slept been rolling, and stubling laughing and laughing and laughing and crying and grumbling oh my heart, and my head crying out loud Cry me a river, cry me river deep and wide cry me a river, cry me a river make it deep and wide now float down stream, way down stream and go around with a tie see me come and try to be kind when you see me come and try to be kind keep in mind I'm losing mine when you see me come and try to be kind try, try, try, try to be kind 5. POISONED WATER Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts Clutching anything we can Stacks and stacks of rats on rafts Waiting for the water to crash on our backs (?) Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye You know it's the truth And this is why Poisoned water, poisons the mind Backed in the corner, drinking poison water Paying for the sins of our fore fathers Who beat, and cheered, and raped our mother Ever since getting kicked out of the gutter Can't you see? Are you blind? There's no more teeth And this is why Poisoned water, poisons the mind 6. REAL LOW VIBE I feel your stare, the eyes of a buzzard I've been there behind the shrine (?) Got me there, feeling like a second cousin Twice removed as I pass you by On a real, low, vibe The waves are hitting, they're kind of heavy Every crash lands amplified birds and swans (?) are running round, frenzied and back at my place, there ain't no time I can't, feel, time 7. THIS IS THE LIFE Walking 40 million miles of strip bars (?) and I painted the sky with aerosol Look a hole in your pocket for credit cards and a cloud in your eye for sitcoms I put the "con" in convenience and string you along don't worry your head because there ain't nothing wrong I've trying to fit into your comfy running shoes and I make more money than any man could ever use I'm a cool motherfucker but I ain't that mean You see I'd gladly leave the dreggs of the Earth to the meek This is the life This is the life for me 8. NIGHT OF THE HUNTED Got a handful of love on the left side a handful of hate on the right Whats inbetween, won't be at ease it's gonna be a long lonely night I fear for your outcome, I fear for mine too and what of the outcome, baby we're screwed They're all around, gonna shoot us down We'll stand our ground They're all around, we won't back down We'll stand our ground Moving from every direction no longer concealing their hands they just keep on coming and tonight, we make our stand there's never as many, our number is two we're in deep together, baby and we're screwed 9. MOVE WITH THE WIND Water is wet and rocks are hard but the wind, my friend does it what it wants so I move with the wind I move with the wind If I move at all What do you do with a drunken sailor what the hell? How should I know What do you do with a drunken sailor when you don't know what to do with yourself I move with the wind If a move at all we run to the ground stuck on these rocks gets them all wet that's how I got caught (hot?) Consider this, on the brink of nothing oh, wouldn't that be nice close your eyes, hear the ocean rising look down on a bed of spikes 10. GHOST I'm a ghost, slipping into oblivion Just a pretty old ghost I've had my hopes, they're not what they used to be Yeah I've had hopes, but that's between you and me I've been thinking I could find some meaning, I could start believing 'stead of killing time I've been thinking your love could give me meaning, I could start believing 'stead of killing time I think I could love if you could show me, what your loving is I think you could show me with a little kiss If you're my host, don't send me no misery If you're some host, don't send me no misery Cause I've had dreams, sure, they're not what they used to Yeah I've had dreams, but that's between you and me If you're some queen, don't delude me with grandeur Cause I've been brought down, by force of power I've been knocked to the ground, by force of power 11. I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER NO LYRICS (instrumental) 12. BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE UNDERDOG Inside the Catholic seamans club Every sailor is sacred Inside the arcade, right next door All the girls dance naked Down on my knees, scrubbing the floors scratching at festering sores if I'm the guy you're looking for just look down under some rock Beneath the valley of the underdog Spat on by the passers by the spitting image of my maker even those who once called me friend were liars, thieves or fakers went to my dog (?) who passed me off I hope you finally made it if you ever want to look me up just look down under some rock |
