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
