Sister, don't dime me out mother doesn't need to know I'm too young to understand I'm far too innocent I was young to believe it then still believed that freedom is real I believed there was more to the ferris wheel that those stories were all true that it was my right to choose and to me all language was french and it was a seat, not a piano bench nothing more to be created but a relaxing note from a haunted machine and it was speaking to me music was a paragraph I don't want to take a bath and there was nothing more to my existance I was just a spec insignificant and I could wash you all away with my sippy cup my only problems then was a strong hiccup my patterns in speech were all in dissaray and the stairs were too steep for me to walk that way and love was my mother and unkown was my father and life was not understood but that didn't really matter but you're here with me now and I'm through with this doubt and I don't really care if the toy makes a sound I just care, that one of these days I'll get out

there's a murmur, it's stuck in my head now and the old tire yard has been wiped out and the people just gasp, and they sigh, and scream and I get fucked over by everybody i meet and the trees, are all turned upside down the roots are tangled, buried in the ground and you just stood, with your hand on your mouth and a car is missing wheels, and it's heading south and the alarms are going off, and the yells are too loud and when i say "oh, get out of town" i mean get out of town because there's some storm coming, from the north and it'll get so cold even though it feels so warm and your father looks in the mirror, puts on his uniform he says, if I'm gonna die, I'll die how I was born I was born a soldier, and I was born clean and I was born with an unfeasible dream well, now, honey, just look at me I'm in all the right places, and I'm ready to sleep and the lights, don't seem to do anything anymore because the sun is too close, it's as hot as the core and it's moving from the horizon, and it's gonna reach the shore the sky is an actor, just waiting to perform and the lightning is a camera, the thunder is the roar of the audience, applauding and hooting for more and that's when the view goes all obscure let's poison everyone, close all the stores and I'm just waiting for your wonderful attack and I'm just waiting to take the inevitable nap I hush my daughter, as she grabs my backpack pulling my shirt, saying "oh daddy, just don't look back"

I am the ocean, I am the trees I am the drum beat, I am the disease Don't you dare, Don't you dare dare dare I am the forest, I am the seas I am the treasure, I am your sheets Cling to me, Cling to your hair hair hair I can wash everything away I can make the sun never rise I can deafen the whole world I can destroy your sight I can speak louder than silence are we audible, is this hapening? is the earth just a tennis ball oh, can you hear me at all? I am the earthquake I am the tidal wave I am the lost boy I am the dead noise Can you hear me at all? Can you hear me at all?

The Horns bring in the hounds A diversion of sounds plant your feet in the soil and try to keep ground With gasoline floors and gasoline walls He changes the direction of the seas as he talks and if fire and brimstone were to meet us today I don't think a million prayers would be enough to save the liars and scoundrels and pillaging rats trapped inside my heart with their baseball bats the snakes hiss and bite taking different sides spin into your coil and wait out this night while it rains flames and rocks and rough mud and the seas would all wash us over with blood and if the torturers were all to bring us another plague I don't think a million pennances would be enough to save anyone who decides to wade through the sea as the concrete forms in a wave in your street and your songs will save no one now and your tambourine makes no sound you could smack your guitar against a fence and there would be silence as the ground grew dense I'm not one for teamwork, I won't hold your hand I can only direct you quickly towards your man so pick up your dress, the snow will come soon you'll soon be face to face to face with jupiter's moons and in comes the sky of violins with moving clouds of strings and each note sent a lightning bolt and the girls were singing some old old soul don't divide yourself a parted ocean will never help and I swear this will all end when the sun and the corpses return to their shelf

A snake slithered over to maya angelou she shook my hand and dropped a word or two walking past the world of tomorrow I saw the seas as blue as olu dara a haystack of needles with a potion inside they call it a love connection, it'll keep you alive temper temper, would you please watch what you say? we're gonna grab our guitars and sing our lives away we're going to call out our heroes from the muddy, shallow we're gonna bring them where the field was left fallow and if a shark jumped and tore my foot apart I'd stand tall on my stump and not step back in the dark you don't seem to have a clue, but you got alot of talk you don't seem to be right, but you sure bury your flaws I danced for nothing way off in spain Oh, I danced my whole life away sometimes it takes a wreck to show others the right way but i see another car crash on the side-road everyday

Me and the horses walk around with a long, long face wishing there was some sort of machine to take our place I can't pull this cart no more I don't even get no reward and the leeches drink the blood and feed off of you and they get treated like gold, a medical wonder, brand new and they're not even cute Dracula should pack up and move He could make a living feeding on us Instead of rotting in a castle surrounded in dust Me and the bats like the to sleep upside down and when you try to smile, you can only frown I can't see a thing, I'm much too blind I don't even know what I'm trying to write This cave holds nothing for me Except maybe some disease Me and the koalas sat around and chewed some fresh bamboo Me and the hyenas gathered round just to laugh at you Those crazy kangaroos what are they trying to do? The lions try to scare me, but I'm ferocious myself I'm real tough, I'm a calf with a loud, loud bell Me and the snakes slither around and nip your feet Cold-blooded creature who just loves the heat searching for a single white python for me to feed We can hunt and mate and try to grow some feet Lie by a cactus all day Stay away from the shade
