In and out of focus Time turns elastic And when I’d stayed too long I went outside and stared Arms outstretched and long Moved straight across the sky If I could wrap my arms around this globe Hands, touch the green and brown I’d sink into the cool, cool ground Seen all, seen all, seen all summer Seen all, seen all, seen all spring But I’m a submarine And the submarine sinks below The ground Now that the leaves have turned to gold The moments all glow Frozen and free from time And out here on my own I watch it ebb and flow Here, with the fire burning low In the honey mist that breathes Crooked maple fingers trembling all around I feel the winds that blow Out here between the dark and light The summer’s gone, and the reeds bow down As the colors change All along the water line And when it’s time the landslide will free what froze inside While all around the rocks collide You finally see the lines That point toward the light that never dies Melody, shelter in the darkness Take hold of me now Memory, trapped in a corner Dark fingers are long But all around streaming down Rays of blue light, calling out These silver sounds are raining down on me Here on the wheel, the rhythm’s turning all around Up above the darkened sky is bleeding I feel the world turning upside down These are the reasons that we lay down on the ground Drawn through a funnel, all the colors run together Turning brown Wait for the waves to come and carry me away Down on the ground the sounds of voices in the echoes seem to say And as the carousel circles unceasingly Watch while the ripples decay in this rolling time And cascading, the winds set the wheels in motion And it’s turning in the mist around me Rolling and turning into the mist around me Kissed by the water and held in your mother’s arms Green where you tumble and roll in these fields The shapes of the bodies that shift in the sun While the blossoms all scream and it sleeps around me The earth in these memories heals around me Touches these woods and these waters all paved with gold Gleaming in daylight the voices ring on They pull while the pointing lay down in the storm And this life is bending and swelling around me Rolling and turning into the mist around me The winds all rising in the west around me And the carousel turns into breath around me

There is a place on the mountain nearby Deep in a cave but it’s up rather high There in the darkness are safely concealed All of the dreams that you never revealed And if you go there, and after you do All of these dreams would be yours to pursue The rest of your lifetime devoid of a care If you keep your eyes open you may find yourself there Such is the promise, such is the curse You could just live your life better or worse Knowing the cache of dreams up on that hill Beckons and sways but won’t bend to your will You might find a river under a mountain That feeds a remote subterranean fountain Drink from this, taste just a hint of a dream That somehow leaked into the underground stream

You may as well keep your belly full For the time may come when you’ll rely On the layer of fat that separates you From the rabid dog and the common fly To a less demanding place on your spine I feel you shift my weight around I squirm and roll beneath your flesh Just like the guy you met in town He’s yelling at the parking lot Throwing beer cans down the stairs Driving home to Mom and Dad To spend a weekend with no cares

Guide us Jah man, guide us Jah man, oh yeah Have mercy on a good man and help him we pray, Jah man Have mercy on a good girl and help her we pray, Jah man Man was made to suffer, yeah And women were made to feel the pain Stay by our side and guide us we pray, Jah man Give us all your blessing and help us we pray, Jah man Time is running out, but we need no one, not to cry nor shout Change them whos gone astray and show them the way, Jah man Make this an everlasting example we pray, Jah man, yeah Man was made to suffer, yeah, yeah And women was made to feel the pain Have mercy on a good man and help him we pray, Jah man Have mercy on a good girl and help her we pray, Jah man

As he saw his life run away from him Thousands ran along Chanting words from a song Please me have no regrets Please me have no regrets Came from the babys mouth We follow the lines going south Please me have no regrets Came from the,came from the,came from the... babys mouth! We follow the line going south!

Ive alternated my meager flock To the shores of the Baltic Sea The teeth of time have stowed the rhyme Of how things should be My cave, my house, my turning wheel My little docking pup The march of Colonel Forbin And his fleet hound called McGrupp The grime of countless workdogs Has collected in my sink I tie my nose with spandex hose Before I get a drink While on frozen warthogs With its poison in our minds The ferns that spot our children Are encased in orange rinds All times and seasons are the reasons That people and their clans Have stowed the Famous Mockingbird With glue and rubber bands They writhe and cry in agony As Rutherford the Brave Chokes Tela and the Unit Monster Managing to save The spotted stripers multi-beast And there by cheat his grave Id like to get his autograph But he looks too much like Dave He looks too much...

I didnt know I didnt know Well I didnt like cheeseburger alleycats near me A petrified Phish disease I wish somebodyd hear me I didnt like maple dew, honey melon watercress I didnt like Phish shoes down by muddy watermelon I didnt seem to miss you when you kissd my honey water And even showed a picture, showed her down by honeys border But who laid silver tooth and broke my sunny shoe shine And all my plastic melodreams are waiting for their new shine Pardon me, Doug Is this a picture of Otis Redding? Yes! Yes! Taken just before he died Well you can give me his hide I didnt know that I was that far gone -- Vacuum solo -- Well I woulda liked to seen Bess Truman come see me And hear all the revolutionaries come free me cause if it all ends up running to sneeze me Ill make it all here, black corners come seize me And if you boom, back got troubles in your ear And you cant seem to come back and make it all clear When eye tails and toe nails and liquid all meet me When mustard pies and carrot eyes and flounders come greet me I didnt know that I was that far gone Pardon me, Doug Is this a picture of Otis Redding? Yes! Yes! Taken just before he died Well you can give me his hide

Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon And one day his woman ran off with another guy Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didnt like that He said Im gonna get that boy So one day he walked into town Booked himself a room in the local saloon Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideons bible Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival His rival it seems had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy Now she and her man who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoedown Rocky burst in and grinning a grin He said Danny boy this is a showdown But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner The doctor came in stinking of gin And proceeded to lie on the table He said Rocky you met your match And Rocky said, Doc its only a scratch And Ill be better Ill be better doc as soon as I am able Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room Only to find Gideons bible Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt To help with good Rockys revival

How is it I never see The waves that bring her words to me For though unseen they drift around They catch my breath and knock me down I feel them quickly swirling by As they withdraw with my reply And slip into the dark of night As I attempt to stay upright Instead I’m stranded on my knees As words depart upon the breeze That quickly drifts away from here And possibly won’t reach her ear If we could see these many waves That flow through clouds and sunken caves She’d sense at least the words that sought her On the wind and underwater

Think of London - small city Dark - dark in the daytime People sleep - sleep in the daytime If they want to - if they want to Im checkin em out Im checkin em out Ive got it figured out Ive got it figured out Theres some good points - some bad points But it all works out - Im just a little freaked out Find your city - Find yourself a city to live in I will find a city - Find yourself a city to live in A lot of bridges in Birmingham A lot of ghosts - and a lot of houses Look over there - dry ice factory Good place to get some thinking done Im checkin em out Im checkin em out Ive got it figured out Im the one who got it figured out Theres some good points - some bad points Find your city - Find yourself a city to live in I will find a city - Find yourself a city to live in Did I forget to mention - Forget to mention Memphish Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks Do I smell - I smell home cooking Its only the river - its only the river Im checkin em out Im checkin em out Ive got it figured out Ive got it figured out Theres some good points - some bad points Are those things real?

People always surprising The things that theyll do You think you got em figured out And theyll show you what you knew At first they may seem rational But wait a month or two Cause theres just no explaining The things people do I had to get away I was losing my interest Instead of expanding my world I was just scanning Pinterest So I left all these people I thought that I knew Cause theres just no explaining The things people do I left for the road Cause I needed the mileage Brought what I owned Cause I thought it was stylish Well I dont miss the folks That I just left behind me Cause theres places Im going Kinda doubt they will find me I never really felt That my life was in danger But a shot to the gut By the hands of a stranger Started me thinking What I already knew That theres just no explaining The things people do Well I found a new place quickly I caught me a fast one The people round here Are the same as the last one So I guess Ill keep moving And find a new crew Cause theres just no explaining The things people do Theres just no explaining The things people do

I’ll tell you about the driver who lives inside my head Starts me up and stops me and puts me into bed He opens up my mouth when it’s time for me to talk And fires up my legs when he wants me to walk Keeps my eyes open for most of the day Adds to my memories the things that people say When he makes decisions i don’t have to wait But sometimes it seems that he’s got too much on his plate Like this morning when i woke up and he dressed me in this shirt That looks a little ragged where he dragged me through the dirt I’m moving through this life and i’m thinking about the next And hoping when i get there i’ll be better dressed

Im so tired I havent slept a wink Im so tired My mind is on the blink I wonder, should I get up and fix myself a drink No, no, no Im so tired I dont know what to do Im so tired My mind is set on you I wonder should I call you But I know what you would do Youd say, Youre putting me on But its no joke Its doing me harm You know I cant sleep I cant stop my brain You know its three weeks Im going insane You know Id give you everything Ive got for a little peace of mind Im so tired Im feeling so upset Although Im so tired Ill have another cigarette And curse Sir Walter Raleigh He was such a stupid git Youd say, Youre putting me on But its no joke Its doing me harm You know I cant sleep I cant stop my brain You know its three weeks Im going insane You know Id give you everything Ive got for a little peace of mind Give you everything Ive got for a little peace of mind Give you everything Ive got for a little peace of mind

Several times unconsciously Ive stumbled on the path And seen a mountain in the mist Rain falls on my shoulders, sun rises in the east Im worn and bruised but I am here at least I guess Im just an obstacle a thing to overcome If I can sneak around myself again Ill know Ive won The moment seems to hand and float before me with no end til Im released awaken beasts Im on the road again And now Im soaring far too high A fleck of dust up in the sky Where tiny clouds go sailing by Pull me down today

Well, I saw it again A form in my window It wants to come in Well, I seen it before When I wake in the night Well, when somethings not right I try not to look For there is the shape That I fear And Im fully woken I saw it again I saw it again I saw it again I saw it again I saw it again

Gonna take my bike out, take my bike Gonna ride it slowly Gonna ride just how I like Gonna take my bike out, take my bike Gonna ride it slowly Gonna ride just how I like Leave me way up here, upon the mountain Let me lie, uncovered on the floor Make me wonder when, you go away again If youre ever coming back here anymore Gonna take my bike out, take my bike Gonna ride it slowly Gonna ride just how I like Gonna take my bike out, take my bike Gonna ride it slowly Gonna ride just how I like I dont care what you did But I can tell its hanging over you The effects of sun and sand, are hard to understand So leave me way up here, upon the mountain Let me lie... Gonna take my bike out, take my bike Gonna ride it slowly Gonna ride just how I like Gonna use my brakes when I go downhill Gonna climb back on when I take a spill Gonna peel my shirt off Gonna feel it burn Gonna keep my eyes closed Gonna miss my turn Gonna take my bike out, take my bike Gonna ride it slowly Gonna ride just how I like Let me lie...

Blind me with ambition like a razor to the throat Cast aside your foolish pride Ill cast the final vote The feelings youve been waiting for are clawing thru your skin And if you look above youll see the vultures moving in Timing is everything, that much I know Sometimes Im fast and sometimes Im slow Some days vacation but some days Im told Ive come to to the end of the line But when I cant be whats expected of me I look at the clock and say this cant be Watching it pass without reason or rhyme I feel Im suspended in time I see the vultures moving in (Fish repeats some phrases in here Feel Im suspended in time)

Well be singing When were winning Well be singing I get knocked down But I get up again Youre never going to keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times: Oh Danny Boy Danny Boy Danny Boy... I get knocked down But I get up again Youre never going to keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times Dont cry for me Next door neighbor I get knocked down But I get up again Youre never going to keep me down Well be singing When were winning Well be singing

Who knows how long Ive loved you? You know I love you still Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me to I will For if I ever saw you I didnt catch your name But it never really mattered I will always feel the same Love you forever and forever Love you with all my heart Love you whenever were together Love you when were apart And when at last I find you Your song will fill the air Sing it loud so I can hear you Make it easy to be near you For the things you do endear you to me Oh, you know I will I will

Summer sitting out by the pool A ray of sunshine getting in my way Close your eyes and wish that it were cool Everyday And I wish it could be back the other way But what’s dissolved ain’t coming back today Close your eyes and wish that it were Axilla axilla axilla axilla I never understood what my body was for That’s why I always leave it layin out on the floor The shape a curiosity Where different faces fit before And tracing my image in the sand To pass the time from slip to fall The line I trace begins to weave A tangled web from wall to wall

You lift me up, you hired me And light my day, you fired me But then you stole the sun, delighted me Now the day is gone, you knighted me Its dawning on me how it starts Your wisdom must be why it smarts Some wholes sum as many parts Sing Sing Monica Sing your song It really didnt last too long Sing Sing Monica sing your song Can you admit that you were wrong? Go back home where you belong Sing Monica, Sing Monica... You gave me one last taste, retreated me Then cut me off at the knees, defeated me From your ivory tower, inspired me Then stole my manhood, desired me Its setting in now how it ends You may have one it all depends Have-nots have as many friends Sing Sing Monica Sing your song It really didnt last too long Sing Sing Monica sing your song Can you admit that you were wrong? Go back home where you belong Sadly she set me free... You charged me up, excited me Upended and re-righted me You hooked me up, you wired me But when my tread was worn, retired me Im saying all this stuff because Its finally dawning on me how it was Sing Monica, Sing Monica...

The days that are met with only-ness Aid and abet this loneliness The days that are met with only-ness Aid and abet this loneliness The days that are met with only-ness Aid and abet this loneliness The days that are met with only-ness Aid and abet this loneliness Tonights the night, the wheels are turning The signal flows, I try to keep the home fires burning That was my stop, but the subway kept going Nothing to lose when Mercurys showing The days that are met with only-ness Aid and abet this loneliness The days that are met with only-ness Aid and abet this loneliness The moments are mine if I can just seize the day But then I forget what it is that I meant to say I try to hold on but never too tight The hours go by til Mercury comes out at night Staring up at the great machine That never began and will never end From the silver starlit tapestry I see countless eyes staring back at me Venus in steel, the unbreakable net Venus in steel, the unbreakable net The trail of lilies and violets ends Trapped in steel, the unbreakable net And the rivers run deep like a quicksilver stream With wings on your feet, your day is longer than your year I look up at the night sky, for a moment, I can see That the rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year The lies they feed to me are as edible as mercury The rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year And Water Star is singing its silver melody The rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year Your day is longer than your year The tomb of the red queen is painted in vermilion Painted in vermilion, painted in vermilion Painted in vermilion The tomb of the red queen is painted in vermilion Painted in vermilion, its painted in vermilion Its painted in vermilion And the nets unbreakable, dont worry about falling The voice that you ignore might be your future calling Alone, were tossed about like a bottle in the sea But together we ascend, and only then escape this gravity The nets unbreakable, dont worry about falling The nets unbreakable, dont worry about falling The nets unbreakable, dont worry about falling The nets unbreakable, dont worry about falling The nets unbreakable

Dogs stole things I needed bad Cats took what I never had Pillows for my aching head A glass of milk next to my bed The creatures that seem, oh so kind And sleep all day and ease your mind At night they softly paddle on And look to steal things that you own So now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord that I might keep My soul for one more night or two And hope the creatures never do The creatures that seem, oh so kind And sleep all day and ease your mind At night they softly paddle on And look to steal things that you own The creatures that seem, oh so kind And sleep all day and ease your mind At night they softly paddle on And look to steal things that you own So now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord that I might keep My soul for one more night or two And hope the creatures never do

Someones always telling me to breathe The wind is always whispering through the leaves It sings to the world They cling to the world I listen and believe The music stops and echoes linger on I’m waiting til you sing me one more song You promised the moon But I need a tune For notes are rarely wrong We built a kingdom out of lies And then we blindly fanned the fire We warmed our hands with glowing coals But now they rain down from the skies Rising volume, muffled moans Thoughts conveyed in undertones We built a kingdom out of lies Moonlight dances softly on the leaves A message in the pattern that it weaves It urges me now It’s pleading somehow Telling me to breathe We built a kingdom out of lies And then we blindly fanned the fire We warmed our hands with glowing coals But now they rain down from the skies Rising volume, muffled moans Thoughts conveyed in undertones We built a kingdom out of lies Moonlight dances softly on the leaves A message in the pattern that it weaves It urges me now Its pleading somehow Telling me to breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe

Standing on the edge of a cliff I start to slip Don’t mind if I slide off Now I feel my mood start to lift I find my grip And the screaming fades away below I grab myself and spin me around I start to sprint I climb down to steadier ground If I could bushwhack it on back to the shack Behind those hills I’ll find the world is finally still Run through pale dark woods To that sugar shack Breathe warm steam and hide In that old sugar shack Boiling heat Maple steam Frozen snow Then it flows When you leave Your maple dream Wait

Kung... Kung... Kung... Rich in minerals Rich in firth Carry well ye martin lad Fervent fourth Now Fervent fifth Forever arealm we cry Be it ever so Voraciously alternate We call upon your pulse Can we stand? Can we stare? We can stage a runaway golfcart marathon! Stand up Stand up Stand up on your heels and call From the hills From the hills

Looking for owls? the young man asked Hoping to lighten the tension And the scowl he received as his only reply Made him smile as he relived the mention And the coward fool walked on alone Quite proud of the fear he instilled And later they found him, tied to a log Bent over and buffalo billed

I feed from the bottom you feed from the top I live upon morsels you happen to drop And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup If nothing comes down then i’m forced to swim up On the way upwards the colors come back But all on the bottom is blue, gray and black The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong And the night seems to go on incredibly long Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth Jumbled events that have less than no worth Time in the forest to dig under rocks Float on the ocean and sleep in a box Or sink just below all the churning and froth And swim to the light-source, or fly like a moth So toss away stuff you won’t need in the end But keep what’s important – and know who’s your friend So i ask you why If i’m swimming by Don’t you see anything you’d like to try?

Wish that I was on old Rockytop Down in the Tennessee hills Aint no smoggy smoke on Rockytop Aint no telephone bills Once I had a girl on Rockytop Half bear, the other half cat Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda-pop I still dream about that Rockytop, youll always be Home sweet home to me Good old Rockytop Rockytop, Tennessee Rockytop, Tennessee Once two strangers climbed old Rockytop Lookin for a moonshine still Strangers aint come down from Rockytop Reckon they never will Corn wont grow at all on Rockytop - Dirts too rocky by far Thats why all the folks on Rockytop Get their corn from a jar Ive had years of cooped up city life Trapped like a dog in a pen All I know is its a pity life Cant be simple again

Fikus dreamed a dream for me It cost me nothing it was free He dreamed of walking in the sand Of blossoms forming in his hand Of kitchen cake and cedar shakes Of waterfalls and yellow snakes Of earthen dams and hydrofoils Of watching water ’til it boils Of holding forth from singing words Of flying south with flocks of birds None of this was charged to me For as i said it was for free

I am just a satellite, high above the atmosphere Bouncing every thing you say to someone who is meant to hear Sometimes on a rainy day, I lie in bed and dream of you So blame it on the satellite, when your message can’t get through I am just a tiny wave, a minor ripple out at sea Moving slowly towards the shore, burdened with uncertainty I’m gaining power, losing speed, wondering as I near your door Will you hold it open for the tidal wave approaching shore? You’ve become an island in the hazy world surrounding me Offering a vast reward each time I safely cross the sea All too often I become lost in the fog and haze Clinging still, against my will, to promises of clearer days I am just a raindrop that accelerates without control Losing bits and pieces in descent ’til I’m no longer whole I am just another shooting star above that you might see Until I have your full attention I’ll be anything but me

Say a word for Jimmy Brown He aint got nothing at all Not a shirt right off his back He aint got nothing at all And say a word for Ginger Brown Walks with his head down to the ground They took the shoes right off his feet And threw the poor boy right out in the street And this is what he said Oh sweet nuthin She aint got nothing at all Oh sweet nutin She aint got nothing at all Say a word for Polly May She cant tell the night from the day They threw her out in the street But just like a cat she landed on her feet And say a word for Joanna Love She aint got nothing at all Cos everyday she falls in love And everynight she falls when she does She said Oh sweet nuthin You know she aint got nothing at all Oh sweet nuthin She aint got nothing at all Oh let me hear you! Say a word for Jimmy Brown He aint got nothing at all Not a shirt right of his back He aint got nothing at all And say a word for Ginger Brown Walks with his head down to the ground They took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet And threw the poor boy right out in the street And this is what he said Oh sweet nuthin She aint got nothing at all Oh sweet nuthin She aint got nothing at all She aint got nothing at all Oh sweet nuthin She aint got nothing at all She aint got nothing at all She aint got nothing at all

Highway Bills on the rotary still and he cant even feel the painOf a sun dried shoulder and a scar from a boulderthat cut him right across his veinNow hes suckin cigar and hes shovelin tarin the crater of a turnpike terrainHes got only one hope, and he wants to elope,cuz Highway Jill is driving him insane We gotta get on the road, destiny unboundShes the one for me we gotta get outta townWe gotta get on the road, destiny unboundShes the one for me we gotta get outta townHighway Jill was a daffodil with a cactus sense of prideAt the wheel of a tractor, she was quite an impactorWhen the road rocks started to slideShe saw Bill drop his shovel on a pile of gravelAs he climbed up out of his ditchShe was wonderstruck when he climbed in her truckHe said Ive been havin this everlasting itch Chorus At first she was cold, she was ready to scoldThis guy from the pit with a thing in his headBut then she thought twice when he melted her iceWith his passionate eyes she was energized!She started the ignition and without permissionThe two of em flew down the dusty roadBut the road wasnt finished and the pavement diminishedThey soared off the edge and they plunged in the sludge She said:There isnt even any road, our Destiny was boundWe were the ones for us but now were in the ground

A song I heard the ocean sing A shining light in darkness deep I prayed a prayer into the tide And both they soothed me in my sleep For every season that has passed I prayed a prayer into the tide A shining light in darkness deep In my ten years before the mast For every season that has passed I laid my body o’er the side A shining light in darkness deep I prayed a prayer into the tide How can I answer questions I’ve known? A song I heard the ocean sing A shining light in darkness deep Ten years before the mast I heard the ocean sing

You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife You may ask yourself, Well, how did I get here? Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, after the moneys gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground And you may ask yourself, How do I work this?

The first time I came over I was bitten by your dog You weren’t even there ’cause you were walking in the fog I call you up and plead and beg and talk to your machine My friends say not to bother when you’re acting pretty mean But I don’t need to bother you, no I won’t play that part I just want access to the inside of your heart Access to your thoughts on the way that I should be So I could start to change and maybe you could access me Access me You could tell me all about all the things you did at work The guy who sits beside you and how he’s acting like a jerk And you don’t have to open up the secrets of your soul But if that’s the place you want me I’d be glad to pay the toll

Aaaahhh, oooohhh Ten mountains stand tall Nine seasons since fall Eight eons of sand Seven oceans began Now there is none No more light from the sun Now waters run free No more fish in the sea One more name on the slate One less minute to wait Too busy to see Two versions of me One more bottle is dry One less reason to try One more name on the slate One less minute to wait Too busy to see Two versions of me One more bottle is dry One less reason to try Six feet underneath Five fingers dont reach Four seconds it seems For all of our dreams Three oceans away Two children at play Too busy to see Two versions of me Two versions of me Two versions of me Two versions of me

My room is round when I lay down, when I wake up it’s square When I go outside it’s on a spiral set of stairs The people that surround me are waiting out there In a round room they can’t find me anywhere Right angle rooms drive me crazier each day Put me in a box I know I’m never going to play Put me in a square room and I won’t know what to say I want a round room at the end of the day I had an apartment, four corners on the walls Couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep there at all I want a curve to the place where I stay I want a round room at the end of the day If I pass out take me to the Round Church Where echoes resound And my spirit is found And when I float high Take my arm and I’ll fly you by The outskirts of town, to a garden that’s round I went to the lighthouse and I liked the view I looked out the window and I could see you Put me in a square house and I won’t have a clue I want a round room just to be with you

A silent bird / a raging tide a mountainside An open door / looming from the surf A whispered word / a steady wind as we begin And then no more / to close in on the earth

Listen now I’m talking I’ve been here for weeks Waiting in this growing crowd Staring at my feet The world around me’s turning I’m just standing still The time has come for changes Do something or I will I’m a feather in a storm I’m a raindrop in the sea If I don’t get enough of you I’m a lighter shade of me Sisters, brothers all around you There’s a devil in the crowd Meet his eye and it’s the end of time If you’re praying don’t be loud It’s crowded in the lowland But the fools stay on the hill You control us now You have the reins Do something or we will So show us why we came here Before we lay on the ground Give it to us loud and clear Make the devil turn around

I dig a deep hole, bees buzzing all around But I know you’ll be happy That I’m pouring concrete in the ground Hoist up posts and beams erratically Garden plot’s beautiful, Painter gets at it But I guess I should have checked with you somehow Thought I could get you to come to Yarmouth Road Hang with the bees and buzz in the honeycomb All I ever wanted you to do was to come on home Hang with the bees and buzz in the honeycomb I filled up the shelves with funny books to laugh to Lazy susan has some of the mocha rings that you love Registered our names so they’ll know where to bring us our mail Couldn’t find flat wax for all the mahogany Didn’t we see some walking through a trade show Does any of this even start to ring a bell Thought I could get you to come to Yarmouth Road Hang with the bees and buzz in the honeycomb All I ever wanted you to do was to come on home Hang with the bees and buzz in the honeycomb When we need to roam Blind faith stings hastily My faith brings me, right to the flower shop I’d like that bouquet please Wrap some of those extra green things around the stems A little card to write on if you have them Candles are lit all the red napkins folded Pecan pie wafting fumes from the oven Turned off all the ringers on the phones Look out the window see headlights passing by Maybe I don’t see you and I don’t really know why Don’t make me feel like a guest in our own home

I like to see you boogie Right across the floor I like to do it to you Till you holla for more I like to reggae But you dance too fast for me Id like to make love to you So you can make me scream Boogie on reggae woman What is wrong with me Boogie on reggae woman Baby cant you see Id like to see both of us Fall deeply in love Id like to see you na... Under the stars above Yes I would Id like to see both of us Fall deeply in love - yeah Id like to see you in the raw Under the stars above So boogie on reggae woman What is wrong with you Boogie on reggae woman What you tryin to do Can I play? Can I play? No! Boogie on reggae woman What is wrong with me Boogie on reggae woman What you tryin to do Boogie on reggae woman Let me do it to you Boogie on reggae woman What you tryin to do

If I told you that I’d never leave If the feelings I could retrieve If emotions reveal themselves If I don’t put them back on the shelves All along I have Sung a song That has gone through motions Without emotions I’ve traveled roads that I’d never seen As I’ve watched events splash across the screen If the crypts could let down their walls If the pyramid doors dissolved If the conflict that’s not resolved Was tossed around like a medicine ball Dark horizons could open wide And a little light that could Start to shine on it But for now I’m just keeping stride ‘Til I figure out if I’m on this ride Hopefulness keeps the ship on line Honest work keeps the pain off my mind Openness to the future to be Overall what I’m hoping to see ‘Til that day It’s still on its way But I hope to stay If the wind should change But I know that I’m looking out the door Guess I’ll see what I’m waiting for

Hey, Bungalow Bill What did you kill Bungalow Bill? He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun In case of accidents he always took his mom Hes the all American bullet-headed saxon mothers son All the children sing Hey Bungalow Bill What did you kill Bungalow Bill? Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise So Captain Marvel zapped in right between the eyes All the children sing Hey, Bungalow Bill What did you kill Bungalow Bill? The children asked him if to kill was not a sin Not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him All the children sing Hey, Bungalow Bill What did you kill Bungalow Bill?

I crashed, I burned But then I learned To keep my eye on you You always say You’ll lead the way But then you never do I slowed, I swerved But lost my nerve And quickly looked away When I looked back The day was black Then I heard you say Why is the sun hot? Why does it rain? Why is there danger and Why is there pain? Why can’t the burden we carry go away And why isn’t it Friday today? Your lack of trust Is hardly just So do as you’ve been told Please follow me Into the sea Don’t worry if it’s cold I knew right then My chance again Would quickly slip away I crash I cry I burn but I Still follow anyway Why is the sea cool? Why is it blue? Why do I stay here? Why is it you? Notice the danger but don’t help in any way Why isn’t it Friday today?

One day I met the beauty of my dreams Pretty eyes she had you ought-a seen Brown hair that flowed down behind I saw it all and yet I was so blind We wound up in her part of town Bright lights with our music all around I gazed into her eyes and she in mine She had me in a trance it was so fine Now I cry cry cry I cant get over her though I try Im blue blue blue I should have known she never could be true Well the fun didnt last very long I found her house the neighbors say youre gone The girl you seek dont live here anymore Oh the pain to me that lies in store So all I have is a picture in a frame She disappeared the same way she came She made a wreck of me and I find Shes out of sight but always on my mind

I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I dont know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I dont know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice its turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I dont know how you were diverted You were perverted too I dont know how you were inverted No one alerted you I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all... Still my guitar gently weeps

The woman was a dream I had Though rather hard to keep For when my eyes were watching hers They closed and I was still asleep For when my hand was holding hers She whispered words and I awoke And faintly bouncing around the room The echo of whomever spoke and I awoke And faintly bouncing around the room The echo of whomever spoke The place I saw was far beneath The surface of the sea My sight was poor but I was sure The sirens sang their songs for me They dance above me as I sink I see them through a crystal haze And hear them bouncing around the room The never ending coral maze, the crystal haze And hear them bouncing round the room The never ending coral maze Then before and now once more Im bouncing around the room That time and once again Im bouncing around the room That time and once again Im bouncing around the room That time and once again Im bouncing around the room And faintly bouncing around the room The echo of whomever spoke And faintly bouncing around the room The echo of whomever spoke And faintly bouncing around the room The echo of whomever spoke ...

The name of this song is The Wildwood Flower Now The Wildwood Flower is an old country classic It gained a whole new popularity The song isnt any more popular But the flower is doin real good The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm And we never knowed what it was called Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed I didnt gave it much thought One day I was out there talking to my brother Reached down for a weed to chew on Things got fuzzy and things got blurry And then everything was gone I Didnt know what happened But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin burlap I come to and my brother was there And he said, Whats wrong with your eyes? I said, I dont know, I was chewing on a weed He said, Let me give it a try We spent the rest of that day and most of that night Trying to find my brother, Bill Caught up with him bout six oclock the next mornin Naked, swinging on the windmill He said he flew up there I had to fly up and get him down He was about half crazy The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds And put em in the sun to dry Then we mashed em up and we cleaned em all And put em in the corncob pipe Smokin them wildwood flowers got to be a habit We didnt see no harm We thought it was kind of handy Take a trip and never leave the farm A big ol puff on the wildwood weed Next thing you know Wes just wandering behind the little animals All good things gotta come to an end And its the same with the wildwood weed One day this feller from Washington come by And he spied us and he turned white as a sheet And he dug and he burned And he burned and he dug And he killed all our cute little weeds Then he drove away We just smiled and waved Sittin there on that sack of seeds Yall come back now, ya hear

Big black furry creature from Mars Im runnin, away from you Why am I running? Cause youre a... Big black furry creature from Mars

When I see the connection Though I see I don’t stare Though I see I don’t stare When I’m lost in my reflection Though I see I don’t stare Though I see I don’t stare Then I change my direction One foot follows the other One foot follows something new ’Cause I need some protection And I’m scared I could lose it If I stare, you’ll be gone When I need some attention Though I see I don’t stare When I’m lost in my reflection Though I see I don’t stare Though I see I don’t stare

Today I sing tomorrow’s song In this place we learn to wait

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar just like a ringin a bell Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Oh sit beneath a tree by the railroad track Oh the engineers would see him sittin in the shade Strummin with the rhythm that the drivers made Oh n people passin by they would stop and say Oh my but that little country boy could play His mother told him some day you will be a man And you will be the leader of a big ol band Many people comin from miles around To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe some day your name will be in lights sayin Johnny B. Goode tonight

Northern dilemma Call of the cold The arms of the arctic begin to unfold Sit in a circle facing the sun Get what you can now Winter is on Truth on condition Never dig deep Solemn reminders as groundwaters seep Into foundations, centers of joy To weaken and crumble Search and destroy Light up the city Hiding so strange You’d better take cover It’s love at close range Oh solo mission Cover of dark Army of one now, don’t let down your guard Sit in a circle facing the sun Soak it in while you can Winter is on I got no answer but you’ve got no call Just can’t compete with the weight of it all Silent treatment Stone in the rain Bright, shining doorway Try to remain

Come on come on come on come on Come on is such a joy Come on is such a joy Come on lets take it easy Come on lets take it easy Take it easy take it easy Everybodys got something to hide except for me and My monkey The deeper you go the higher you fly The higher you fly the deeper you go So come on come on Come on is such a joy Come on is such a joy Come on lets make it easy Come on lets make it easy Take it easy take it easy Everybodys got something to hide except for me and My monkey Your inside is out when your outside is in Your outside is in when your inside is out So come on come on Come on is such a joy Come on is such a joy Come on lets make it easy Come on lets make it easy Make it easy make it easy Everybodys got something to hide except for me and My monkey

Could of had a chance to get out of this mess The time that you came and the day that you left Could of had a chance Could of had a chance Never thought I could make it this far With a pain in my soul and a hole in my heart Never thought I could Never thought I could Chorus: But when the lights are turnin round The wheels are flowing on the ground The day I burned this whole place down When the circus comes to town Carved your name out on that tree Scratched mine out right in front of me Didnt mean that much Didnt mean that much Chorus: Carved your name out on that tree Scratched mine out right in front of me Didnt mean that much Didnt mean that much Chorus:

Nothing’s ensconced Nothing’s entrenched Nothing’s entangled or twisted or wrenched Everything smoothly flows right through my head What I hoped might linger is swept off instead Tunnels and channels and chasms and rifts Shiny smooth streams and unclimbable cliffs I see you there ever so slowly being drawn to the sea As if by some signal that’s unheard by me I stand on a featureless sheet of blue stone And then for one instant I’m not quite alone Your hand is extended but then you rescind And you like my thoughts are borne off by the wind

I been around a while I lived in town a while I threw it down a while And the town threw down on me

When we were talking I didnt need to hide Black stallions through the night On a perfect ride I watched you open wide You looked into me I had to turn away I didnt wanna leave Now Im letting it all roll by I can see I can see A life beyond the dream Im watching it all roll by I can see I can see A life beyond the dream Dont give up hope Dont give up hope Keep dreaming Keep on dreaming Dont give up hope Dont give up hope We share these moments Til they melt away To foggy memories Of a distant day A curtain is blowing In an open door Two souls can breathe as one I wanted more Now Im letting it all roll by I can see I can see A life beyond the dream Im watching it all roll by I can see I can see A life beyond the dream Dont give up hope Dont give up hope Keep dreaming Keep on dreaming Dont give up hope Dont give up hope Now Im letting it all roll by I can see I can see A life beyond the dream Watching it all roll by I can see I can see A life beyond the dream Dont give up hope Dont give up hope Keep dreaming Keep dreaming Dont give up hope Dont give up hope Keep dreaming Keep dreaming Keep dreaming

I found a ring deep inside a box on a dead-end street And you were there watching me but I didnt know I couldnt see, I was lost, asleep inside a fantasy I love your hair in the mornings, you know You love to run wild and let the mane flow And you run away, but we meet again soon South of the border and over the moon And when youre gone, it never feels right It gets so cold in the dark of the night And I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I put the ring back where it belongs, it feels right And you were waiting up all night, I didnt know If I ran away and got lost That youd still be there anyway I figured out what you whispered that night Somewhere the clouds touched the mountains just right Somewhere were dancin and youre singin the tune South of the border and over the moon And when youre gone, it never feels right It gets so cold in the dark of the night And I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light And when youre gone, it never feels right It gets so cold in the dark of the night And I only like the shade when youre blocking the light I only like the shade when youre blocking the light Only like the shade when youre blocking the light Only like the shade, only like the shade Only like the shade when youre blocking the light Only like the shade when youre blocking the light Only like the shade when youre blocking the light Only like the shade, only like the shade Only like the shade when youre blocking the light

Im gonna pull this timber fore the sun go down Get it cross the river fore the bars come down Drag it on down that dusty road Come on Jerry, lets dump this load I said Timber, ho!, timber, whoa this timbers gotta roll I said Timber, ho!, timber, whoa this timbers gotta roll My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule Been everywhere and he aint no fool Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two Done everything a poor mule can do Jerrys shoulders stood six foot tall Pulled more timber than a freight could haul Workin heavy old Jerry got sore Pulled so much he couldnt pull no more The boss said Jerry and it made him jump Jerry ran and kicked the boss on the rump My old Jerry was a cool mule Had it been me I woulda killed that fool Boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head Jerry took that bullet and he stomped him dead Stomped that boss til he heard him scream Sure dont care he was so damn mean

One, two, three, four There is a tower Like a solitary flower Standing in the snow And the wolves all wait below And youre walking on the ledge Throwing bread crusts off the edge As you sing in a voice so clear And my name I think I hear Concealed within the theme Then it disappears as steam And Im standing far below Watching wolves you seem to know As your voice still carries on In your never-ending song And my blood begins to boil Bones melt into oil Hissing liquid in the snow As my body melts below Then a ripple sends a beam Of sunlight dancing in the steam My now unfettered soul Has direction I control To your tower I draw near But do I see a trace of fear? The approaching sound of hooves Now scatters all the wolves You briefly watch the horseman ride Then you quickly run inside The riders weapons gleam And the horses nostrils steam Theres no time to reflect Who is this man? I must protect you In the riders hands I see He holds your prisons only key He glances up and glares Then he starts to climb the stairs I can tell youre terrified So I quickly go inside Then I hear a fateful scream As your soul joins mine as steam We escaped the dreadful night And as lovers soared in flight Blissful weeks turned into seasons Then one day without a reason Or goodbye, you flew below Back to the animals you know Now you forever sing your song With the wolves where you belong Alone I often dream I hear you singing through the steam

Wilson Wilson Wilson Wilson Wilson Once upon a time there was a mountain that rose out of a vast green forest. And in the forest there were birds and lakes and rocks and trees and rivers. The forest was also inhabited by a small group of people called the lizards. The lizards were a simple people and they had lived in the forest undisturbed for thousands of years in utter peace and tranquillity. Once a year when spring came, and the first blossoms began to show, the lizards would gather at the base of the mountain, to give thanks for all that they had. They thanked the birds and they thanked the lakes and they thanked the rocks and the trees and the rivers; but most importantly, they thanked Icculus. Icculus lived at the top of the mountain, or at least everyone thought so, for no one had actually ever seen him. But they knew he existed, because they had the Helping Friendly Book. Icculus had given the Helping Friendly Book to the Lizards thousands of years earlier as a gift. It contained all of the knowledge inherent in the universe, and had enabled the Lizards to exist in harmony with nature for years. And so they lived; until one day a traveler arrived in Gamehendge. His name was Wilson and he quickly became intrigued by the Lizards way of life. He asked if he could stay on and live in the forest; and the Lizards, who had never seen an outsider, were happy to oblige. Wilson lived with the Lizards for a few years, studying the ways of the Helping Friendly Book, and all was well. Until one morning when they awoke and the book was gone. Wilson explained that he had hidden the book, knowing that the Lizards had become dependent on it for survival. He declared himself king and enslaved the innocent people of Gamehendge. He cut down the trees and built a city, which he called Prussia. And in the center of the city he built a castle, and locked in the highest tower of the castle lay the Helping Friendly Book out of the reach of the Lizards forever. But our story begins at a different time, not in Gamehendge, but on a suburban street in Long Island, and our hero is no king sitting in a castle, he is a retired colonel shaving in his bathroom Colonel Forbin looked square in the mirror and dragged the blade across his cold creamed skin. He saw the tired little folds of flesh that lay in a heap beneath his eyes. Fifty-two years of obedient self-restraint, of hiding his tension behind a serene veil of composure. For fifty-two years he had piled it all on the back burner, and for fifty-two years it had boiled, frothing over in a turbulent storm inside of him. It had escaped through his eyes, reacting with the cigarette smoke and the fluorescent lights and slowly accumulating into a sagging mass. He ran his dripping palm across the stubble on the nape of his neck and thought again about the door. He had discovered the door some months back on one of his ritualistic morning walks with his dog McGrupp. It had started out as a typical stroll with McGrupp bounding joyously ahead of the preoccupied colonel. As they reached the apex of the hill, he saw it and he knew it had always been there, and felt foolish for overlooking the door for so long. At first, he tried to ignore it, but he soon found that it was impossible, and slowly his newly acquired knowledge transformed his dreary life into a prison from which there was only one escape. And on this morning, Colonel Forbin stepped through the door

I read the news today About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a car He didnt notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared Theyd seen his face before Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords I saw a film today The English army had just won the war A crowd of people looked away But I just had to look Having read the book Id love to turn you on Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And, looking up, I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And somebody spoke and I went into a dream I read the news today Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall Id love to turn you on

Cut this picture into you and me Burn it backwards, kill this history Make it over, make it stay away Or hatell say the ending that love started to say Theres a kid a floor below me saying Brother, can you spare Sunshine for a brother, old man winters in the air Walked me up a story, asking how you are Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star Sweet Adeline Sweet Adeline My Clementine Sweet Adeline Its a picture-perfect evening and Im staring down the sun Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head Or any situation where Im better off than dead

Throughout the night When theres no direct light And a thin veil of clouds Keeps the stars out of sight I can smell the colors outside on my lawn The moist green organic that my feet tread upon And the black oleander surrounded by blues Im soon overwhelmed by olfactory hues

[Verse 1:} Last night laying in bed I woke up from something you said You spoke to me in a foreign tongue It wasn’t your voice so I started to run A spiral staircase swallowed me And spit me out in the woods by a tree I felt the bark for a passage out I froze in panic ’til I figured it out It’s only a dream It’s not what it seems It’s only a dream You faded up from black and pushed me aside I was blocking your view of a circular sky I could tell by your hand shaking in fear That my worries were real; the devil was near Back in real life I had shaken your trust The devil enticed me to trade it for lust You walked the high wire on the light of a beam You screamed and I realized the devil was me It’s only a dream And I can change the scene It’s only a dream[x2 ] And it’s lucid It’s only a dream It’s a lucid dream Up the beam I follow your shout An egg cracked open and the sun came out I spoke my remorse for all I had done You aimed at my eyes and shot me the sun You faded out and I was all alone In a train station laying on a bench of stone I heard the train coming but it never appeared ‘Til it fell from the sky, confirming my fear That it’s only a dream It’s only a dream It’s not what it seems It’s only a dream In orange and green It’s only a dream

Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill Mojique thinks of days before Americans came He sees the foreigners in growing numbers He sees the foreigners in fancy houses He thinks of days that he can still remember now Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands Mojique sends the package to the American man Softly he glides along the streets and alleys Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover He feels the time is surely now or never more The wind in my heart The wind in my heart The dust in my head The dust in my head The wind in my heart The wind in my heart Drive them away Drive them away Mojique buys equipment in the market place Mojique plants devices in the free trade zone He feels the wind is lifting up his people He calls the wind to guide him on his mission He knows his friend the wind is always standing by Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away Mojique waits for news in a quiet place He feels the presence of the wind around him He feels the power of the past behind him He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him on The wind in my heart The wind in my heart The dust in my head The dust in my head The wind in my heart The wind in my heart Drive them away Drive them away

Its been ten long years since I left my home in the hollow where I was born Where the cool fall nights make the woods smell right and the fox hunter blows him horn I fell in love with a girl from the town, I thought that she would be true I ran away to Charlottsville and worked in a sawmill or two What have they done to the old home place? Why did they tear it down? And why did I leave the plow in the field and look for a job in the town? Now the girl ran off with somebody else, The taverns took all my pay And here I stand where the old home stood before they took it away Now the geese they fly south and the cold wind blows as I stand here and hang my head Ive lost my love and Ive lost my home, and now I wish that I was dead

He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books.... He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And Through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his Mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by Force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The Change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so.... Gradually his face would change its shape....A more hooked nose... Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other People....They had also molded their faced according to some Ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better Suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their Personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear- Ance....This is why first impressions are often correct... Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have Arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them.... They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish Whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way There, and then changed their minds He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
