He wakes up in the morning
She thinks, we look at each other
Goes to visit his mommy
Take these chances
Driving along this highway
All the little ants are marching
Candyman teasing the thoughts of a
Take these chances
Tripping Billies
We were above
Eat, drink and be merry
We're wearing nothing
So why would you care
We are all sitting
So why would you care
Eat, drink and be merry
Recently
Recently I've been
People stare and we just ignore everything
She comes to me
People stare and we just ignore
She and me go to place quiet
People stare and we just ignore
Walk and talk, we both do quite well
Both say that we never before
Satellite
Satellite in my eyes
Winter's cold spring erases
Satellite headlines read
Winter's cold spring erases
Satellite in my eyes
Winter's cold spring erases
Rest high above the clouds; no restriction
One Sweet World
Nine planets round the sun
So let us sleep outside tonight
If green should slip to grey
Take all that we can get
One sweet world
The Song That Jane Likes
And in plays to write the wire in
Would you like to play
While you around here play
Would you like to play
And I'll be back 'round again
And in plays to write the wire in
Minarets
Santa Maria choose your children
Brother caged Babylon will fall
Later on we'll all be dancing
What you see
Seek Up
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
Forget about the reasons and
Sit awhile with T.V.'s hungry child
Forget about the reasons and
You seek up an emotion
Say, say
Look at me in my fancy car
Forget about the reasons and
You seek up an emotion,
I'll Back You Up
I remember thinking
And for sure we have danced
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And your lips burn wild
I remember thinking
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And your lips burn wild
The Christmas Song
She was his girl; he was her boyfriend
Not very much of his childhood was known
His heart was full of love love love
The blood of our children all around
Rumors insisted he soon would be
Preparations were made
Father up above, why in all this anger you have fill
Does his teeth, bite to eat, and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends, the week begins
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Place them in a box until a quiter time
Lights down, you up and die
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged,
No time to exchange when
Red and black antennae waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way
Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss
Programs cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end cut cut
On the fence, not to offend
Cut cut cut cut
Place them in a box until a quiter time
Lights down, you up and die
Lights down, you up and die
You were standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're tripping billies
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once,
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
'Cause we're tripping billies
Legs crossed round a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking oh our
Minds will wander
To wondrous places
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
For tomorrow we die
All of content and dreaming I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away
I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that we never before have
Felt as recently
What's the use in hiding out
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about
Where we are quite alone
Kiss and we hold together
We will be until we're done
What's the use in hiding out
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about
And kissing all the time, kissing all the time
And I'm looking forward to much more
Never before have we felt so recently
People stare and we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satelitte
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satelitte
Rest high above the clouds; no restriction
Television we bounce 'round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satelitte
Television we bounce 'round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered on
So much do we take for granted
Lay down in the mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
Would our hearts still bloody beat
If the mountains crumble away
And the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet
When it's done
Nobody left to bury
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we will rest safely
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
In her breath I'm swimming
And here we will rest in peace.
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So resigned you will fall down
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play
The days keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines
With a fool holding hands
With a one-eyed jack of spades
While on the deck they sing
All of the captain's cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn't you or me
Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend
And we'll find that place
That we danced in so long ago
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With this resigned the letter I sign
Santa Maria virgin child
All our wars over you we are fighting
And all our time faith justifying
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The T.V.'s on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like a daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed I'm making faces
Rain on the ground in a space
God has grown
Alone till a man looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you
What you see
What you see
What you see is human
Screaming from the minarets
Fall back again, fall back again
Fall back again, fall back again
What we think what we see
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
His mischievous grin, look at him
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Forget about feeling guilty
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke
Keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me,
Mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that your emotions can be
Swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
Going-ha, ha
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again
Take a look again
Everyday things change...stay the same
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Your emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked
Don't be tricked into thinkig so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you
The devil's not going-ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me
And I know you're the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
And I know you're the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
She be his wife; take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy
The wise men came three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary for a reasonable fee
Less than reputable as known to be
Love love love
Love love is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree
Said "Oh Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of my children all around"
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Like you and me
For his deviations
Taken into custody by the authorities
Less informed than he.
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
For his celebration day
He said "eat this bread and think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around"
The blood of our children all around
Me up with love
Fill me love love love
Love love love
Love love
And the blood of our children all around.
