how the time it goes when you stay high
gyroscopic timepeice in my hand
you and i know it could never be this, though, we all know- better than this, so
break a bottle free from the sunlight
take it with you if you can
and you and i know it would never be this, and we all know so much better than this, so
promise me this wont be the last time
the rays of light go fast into my eye
and its impossible to never be this thought, it doesnt ever get much better than this so
take a chance on late after midnight
wander through the winds over your land
inevitable to never be this thought, it might never get much better than this so
a faster ride, even though we all want it slow
time owns a dog to chase you up out of that yard
and run you may, but she's not something youll get away from
so instead stay inside the comfortable walls of your home
home sweet home

the Suit
02:40
|

why, are you afraid to see how bad it is?
are you turning your head not to see?
life will never be like the movies
thats what it means to be free.
so expect nothing more than you choose
and create not a path to get more.
life gives you just what you ask for,
so dont move like the suit does with>
>hypocrisy out on loan, try and settle with the lawyers i own
try and refuse the deal, turn tail and run, the watchdog will know
finance the campaing, buy me and then i buy you back slow
with photos and wet clothes, lies stick to themselves, you dont know that?
its a crime when you know and dont do much about it
its a shame its that way, but you cant do much about it
why, are you afraid to see how bad it is?
are you turning your head not to see?
life will never be like the movies
thats what it means to be free.
so expect nothing more than you choose
and create not a path to get more.
life gives you just what you ask for,
so ask with the person you are>
>not the joke, you supplimented for your true self
buying more cars, burn energy two times as hard
trade the chinese, for a better way to entertain me
distractions are toys like internets and cellular phones, man
its a crime when you buy and you dont know where it comes from
its a shame when you stare at yourself in the mirror too long, and you know
why

they're waging war on your wallet, so just give em some more
of that fine americana, gotta work for your wage,
so you can send the kids to college and insure the whole thing
because you never know what happens in the terrorist age, get down!
have you ever felt as if you're going to be destroyed?
and if you ever have, then it could not have been avoided...
spending all the time now, upside the left side depending on which side the store's on
give and take another chance on the quicksteps that take me up to the second level food court
where these collections fuel their faces then buy the bagfuls of gagreels, and stylemakers change faces into themselves
have you ever needed to wear name brand clothes to survive?
well if you ever have, then you are nothing but an advertisement...
save the fear for later on
times when fear can help you out
only when your goverment tells you
only when your electorate tells you dont move!

give and take another chance on the quicksteps that take me up to the second level food court
where these collections fuel their faces then buy the bagfuls of gagreels, and stylemakers change faces into themselves
did you ever give your weekly wage away to the poor?
well if you ever have, then you know life offers something
save the fear for later on
times when fear can help you out
only when your goverment tells you
only when your electorate tells you dont
save the fear for later on
know that when you choose you choose for yourself
even if the president lets you
even if your god might let you, move on!

how exactly can one try, when trying at all is destructive?
and remaining in one place is all but bored.
maintaining peaceful balance, might just be disruptive
if participation counts at all.
balance is a tricky thing in a world of day and night
and if you dont see black and white,
your grey becomes the same thing day after day after day
and what good is all grey? so return to your ways of black and white and then
think about the consequences
abstract the consequences
balance is a tricky thing in a world of day and night
and if you dont see black and white,
your grey becomes the same thing day after day after day
and what good is all grey? so return to your ways of black and white and then
think about the consequences
abstract the consequences
maybe ignore the consequences
oh, the consequences
do you think there is whats right, and then whats wrong
and you choose with free will from the two of them?
well, life is abrstract. the stymie in front of us
is like appreciating van gogh's "starry night" using just your fingertips

Days of Our Lives
02:44

the days of our lives pass inevitably forward
writing solutions to human equasions
unfolding like petals at first sight of sunlight
the mind it goes, mind it goes, mind it goes, mind it goes
once at least daily
do something uncomfortable
to make your body wary of the balance in nature
and once its ajusted, find pleasure in weakness
the body goes, body goes, body goes, body goes
show it to me
the careful planning
show it to me
the design
show it to me, today,
the carefull planning and the beauty within her
show it to me, today,
the design
d-d-d-da-da-da-da-da- x3

the days of our lives pass inexorably forward
writing solutions to human equasions
you put it together on the first day of summer
the mind it goes, body goes, mind it goes, body goes

the design
show it to me, today,
the carefull planning and the beauty within her

Too Many Microphones
04:49

in the morning when you wake up to your coffee and kids
turn on the tv- you watch them talk about shit like
what to wear, and what to eat, and how to pick up dates,
but do they really tell you anything? just to keep on watching
and listening to celebrity opinions just like it could be the gospel
and you are the apostle
big miss O
you help the helpless
buy new shoes for a tribe of zulus
something tells me
you do these things for reputation
not only for the good of the world
your buddy phil
he makes me nauseas
he thinks he knows what goes for all those
poor sad folks who cant solve thier personal dilemma
no, not on their own, so they go to the show and they dont know
take this morning, you could have been awake enjoying the air
you could have been staring- at the tube but do you really care
about how they want your freinds to set you up for a TV make-over
in other word they think you are ugly
its not impossible to never watch TV again,
if you dont mind losing a couple freinds
hey queer guys
you got no eye for me
i dont see how who you sleep with has anything to do with me
or how i dress, or how my hair goes, or my thriftstore chic
you tell me to spend in one day what i do in a week
you might say my living room looks like a college dorm
give me the urge to burn my shit just to keep warm
so you must shut that lispy mouth up
aint got no remote, so dont make me get up
all these voices telling you which way to go
click that button and they all leave you alone
sit through commercials let em sink down in your soul
the only things you know are what they say on your favorite show
Bill O' Reilly
my least faviorite of all,
you might find more truth in a bucket of sand
and my hand, could never cover your mouth
because it spews from the spout of fox news
the great deciever make you a beliver
with words of great weath and health, in the US of A
but then rely on the lies and the fear that the terror's always near
the terrorist threat is a joke

Grow
04:55
|

there's a place with no doors or windows a place where your mind goes
its free from intrusion and when here, the chemicals flow into brainwaves
discussing such topics with freinds.
if you know the conversations that i know,
then i no longer need to say anymore
but i'll continue to breathe just a little thc
and then breathe some more because we know, the chemical opens the headway
for the fluid subconscious within
and if you know the new sensation that i know,
then we no longer need to say anymore
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
for those of you who burn it down
light up then shake it around, we know
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
for those of you who rolls it down
light up then shake it around, we know
anyone listening would know it was wrong
that consuming a vegetable was breaking the law
it takes an animal to jugde before the facts are all in,
but the human knows the difference 'tween a crime and a sin
its in your nature to be wise, its in your nature to kill
but that doesnt mean, you necessarily will
you think you know better than creator itself
you go around pointing fingers at the bad for your health
but you dont know the difference tween good and bad
total domination is all that you have
but you got nothing on me or on mine
freedom is a thing you cannot define, so
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
for those of you who burn it down
light up then shake it around, we know
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
ooooh ooooh ...let it grow
for those of you who rolls it down
light up then shake it around, we know
there's a place with no doors or windows a place where your mind goes
its free from intrusion and when here, the chemicals flow into brainwaves
discussing such topics with freinds.
if you know the conversations that i know,

then we no longer need to say anymore

why do you do all that
move that way for all that

inside the body as it is in the brain
got em thrown down cuz she felt like playing a few games
thats ok, i'm just saying that its a shame
thats what i think of- when i say your name
but only for a limited time do you remember
the tremors of fate that came strolling your way
it takes a constant effort to gather the courage to get away from a better day
its only choices that glue this all together
individual peices to the quilt of mankind
it takes a steady hand and motion to get better things to happen in time
but its all over now
but it will last forever
and its so temporary
and permenant at the same time
but its all over now
but it will last forever

the tremors of fate that came stolling your way
it takes a constant effort to gather the courage to get away from a better day
its only choices that glue this together

cuz its all just a movie
and i'm harrison ford, see
so just keep playing these old patriot games
if i see your squinty face one more time
i might just drop my hands to the side and say why me? [why me?]
why oh why did i have to be alive oh- in- this- very moment in time
in america in 2005...
i could be in the seventies laying jive
but goddam here- i- am- and its now,
so what the hell? i put the lyrics down
and hope somebody else says it again and again and again until we pull the pin
on this rotation get it spun
isnt that how gravity 's begun?
let loose the laws of nature on W
we'll see if god is on his side...
and the war's begun
get to moving on
get to moving on
and the end is near
get to going now
get to going now
my question is this, el capitan
do you have a new plan?
you could rely on us to get it done.

youve heard of a DD
cuz i'm afraid your sleeping at the wheel.

make them all want the big green
i hear jack whittaker's a christian too
cuz its all just a movie
and i'm mister magoo, see
so i'll keep playing these old patriot games
if i see your fucking face one more time
i might just throw my hands to the sky and say right here! [right here!]
why oh why did i have to be alive oh- in- this- very moment in time
in america in 2005...
i could be in the renaissance, painting signs
but goddam here- i- am- and its now,
so what the hell? i put the lyrics down
and hope somebody else says it again and again and again until we pull the pin
on this new nation get it grown
isnt that how tiny seeds are sown
let loose the laws of nature on republicans
tell them god takes no sides.
and the war's begun
get to moving on
get to moving on
and the end is near
get to going now
get to going now
feel free to swear
these things are worthy of
some things are worthy of
a little dying here
a little dying there
get to moving on

Anthropocentric
03:53
|

math noble
art sexual
this is where its at
feel the curve go by slow
talk mobile
touch detectable
watch the violin bow
watch it go to and fro
and this is where it begins.
a truly beautiful fold
a paper crane made of sound
you can be gentle and bold.
take five then,
add three,
take eight then,
add five
this form is perfection
like millions of bubbles
forming like nations across the dirty dishwater
its only vibrations
only interpretations
and they dont exist without a human to hear them
thats anthropocentric,
and i dont want on it
i'll be the tree that falls down unheard.
never turn the volume down
never gonna be turned down
never turn the volume down
never gonna
never gonna
and this is where it begins.
a truly beautiful fold
a paper crane made of sound
you can be gentle and bold.
talk mobile
touch detectable
watch the violin bow
watch it go to and fro
this form is perfection
like millions of bubbles
forming like nations across the dirty dishwater
its only vibrations
only interpretations
and they dont exist without a human to hear them
thats anthropocentric,
and i dont want on it
i'll be the tree that falls down unheard.
never turn the volume down
never gonna be turned down
never turn the volume down
never gonna be turned down
never turn the volume down
never gonna
never gonna

Wait
06:47
|
|||
lay your head down
dagling hair rests softly down
the incraments remained slow
warm skin breath alone in your pocket
pushing air right over here
i inhale sands from deserts there
roaming the forest of your hair
you say time to wait
time to wait again
these days face fate
wether you do
or wether you do not
find the face
to fill that space
yesterday's well overdue
so you say time to wait
time to wait for you
fold the sheets back
peeling the cotton down your arms
the bare skin pushes through
your timing moves this ever deeper
into my room
breath dances softly on your ear
changing the reason you are here
feel the whisper, change the color of
everything right over there
fine tuned chemistry forgotten now
flooding the valleys you dammed
share with me the secret password
move to include me from here
make a place for our names together
if were incapable, please be mistaken
you say time to wait
time to wait again
these days face fate
wether you do
or wether you do not
find the face
to fill that space
yesterday's well overdue
so you say time to wait
time to wait for you

Horse
02:22

name all the songs after girls who have left you
made you feel empty and broken and lost
and all those cliches on top 40 radio
these stupid commercials for sex and surreal
oh woe is me
i'm an angry band
the girlfreind that you never had is
the fuel for whatever you call this horse shit
if music is what you live for
then why arent you dead?
because shit lives forever
and money buys alot, so when
writing your next album
give it all you got, dont go
cry like a baby when she breaks your heart
oh woe is me
i'm an angry band
the girlfreind that you never had is
the fuel for whatever you call this horse shit
