Dogs and Horses
06:37

When you’re born, they eat you up
Little hands and feet and eyes
Keep you safe, safe as milk
Then they start to feed you lies
Desperate times oh desperate times
When they fire the starting gun
Everyone will run like
Dogs and horses on the track
Rounding each corner like it’s the last
One percent, oh one percent
Oh the numbers do not lie
Eat the rich, but do not miss
The chance to look into their eyes
Desperate times oh desperate times
When they fire the starting gun
Everyone will run like
Dogs and horses on the track
Rounding each corner like it’s the last
And all the people who you frown upon
Will not eat the cake you feed to them
So bide your time but watch your neck
Cause we might take your head from it
Dogs and
Horses on the track
Rounding
Each corner like it’s the last
Dogs and
Horses on the track
Rounding
Each corner like it’s the last

Down at the Museum

I hear the knock knock knocking
I hear the drums of war
So many voices talking
Can’t hear a thing but noise…..
Now the ice is melting
Into a sea of green
Can’t think of death no longer
I just want to live…live…
If you carry that weight
Sometimes it will smash you
It’s just a symptom of life
No one will stop you
Save you from yourself
Don’t take it so badly
There are reasons to live
So if you really need to find me
I’ll tell you where I’ll be
I’ll be down at the museum
Looking at the girls
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
Blah blah blah blah blah
“Think about that for a minute”
“Just let that all sink in”
“Think about that for a minute”
“Just let that all sink in…”
All those plastic people
All those plastic folk
The kill you with words
They kill you with thoughts and prayers
They kill you with kindness
They kill you with all their fears….
If you carry that weight
Sometimes it will smash you
It’s just a symptom of life
No one will stop you
Save you from yourself
Don’t take it so badly
There are reasons to live
So if you really need to find me
I’ll tell you where I’ll be
I’ll be down at the museum
Looking at the girls
Down at the museum
Look at the pretty girls….
Down at the museum
Look at the pretty girls…
All those ladies are girls….

Wolves

Got a call to laugh at death
And death was laughing back
Changes come hard and fast
Man I can't keep up
Don't you worry
Change will come to you
No matter what you do
All the years as they've been passing
And then you realize
That we are future bones in a hole
The smile in your eyes
Says there's really no surprise
The wolves are on your trail
Oh the margin's razor thin
So don't you fuck it up
The mighty wheels grind you down
Turn you into dust
Leave you bleeding
There's beauty everywhere
You only have to look
Now I want to see you in the sun
And the way it hits your face
Memories of all we did and said
And the smile in your eyes said it's really no surprise
The wolves are on your trail
All I say from here to the end
It's all just meaningless
I miss you more than words will allow
And the smile in your eyes says it's really no surprise
The wolves are on your trail
The wolves are on your trail
The wolves are on your trail

The Ecstatic Call
07:34
|
|||
Oh releasing
Oh just letting go
And never looking back
And never saying no
Having faith if
There is no beyond
No God up in the sky
Or Devil down below
Let my heart live in you
Let my heart live in you
Let my heart live in you
Let my heart live in you
May you be filled with
Love and peace and joy
And needing nothing more
Than everything you have
It's all so fleeting
It's all just a blur
A flash and then it's gone
Never to return
Let my heart live in you
Let my heart live in you
Let my heart live in you
Let my heart live in you

American Kids
03:54
|

Oh they said we'd get the bomb
Under desks we hid so long
They taught us history
Wars and slavery
Women had no rights
Natives killed outright
Just American kids
Just American kids
And we drove all night
Under no street lights
And blew on home
With the wind and sun
Tripped by the pool at dawn
Just American kids
Then they said it'd all be fine
Carry on and pay no mind
Now watch the waters rise
And see the burning skies
All those promises now just ash I guess
For American Kids
For American Kids
And we drove all night
Under no street lights
And blew on home
With the wind and sun
Tripped by the pool at dawn
Just American kids
We were just American Kids

Sunyata

There is only this
And of that I'm not sure
But I held you by the hand
And you led me through the door
This and nothing more
This and nothing more
I am just the snow
Drifting to the ground
You're a falling leaf
Making not a sound
This and nothing more
This and nothing more
Sunyata
Sunyata
Walking into smoke
A disappearing act
Becoming your own ghost
And never coming back
This and nothing more
This and nothing more
This and nothing more
This and nothing more
Sunyata
Sunyata

Terlingua

Well the real world's just for suckers
Smashed my phone, caught a ride
You could try, you could try to find me
I wish you luck
Their eyes are onto you everywhere you go
You can't escape
And if they try to come for me
Try to take me in the hills
I'll tear them down
I got freedom in my heart
I'm just wild, so don't you start
Feral dogs on the doorstep
Gimlet eyes float around
It's just another, just another sunset
In your mind
Their eyes are onto you everywhere you go
You can't escape
And if they try to come for me
Try to take me in the hills
I'll tear them down
I got freedom in my heart
I'm just wild, so don't you start
Oh... Oh...
Well the real world's just for suckers
Smashed my phone, caught a ride
You could try, you could try to find me
I wish you luck
