Christmas
Song
She was his girl; he was her
boyfriend
She'll 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
Not very much of his childhood
was known
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
His heart was full of love
love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed
to the 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
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
Rumors insisited he soon would
be
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
Preparations were made
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
Father up above, why in all
this anger have you fill
Me up with love
Fill me love love love
Love love love
Love love
And the blood of our children
all around
Pig
Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should
wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our world
From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright
There's much more than we see here
Don't burn the day away
Is this not enough
This blessed sip of life
Is it not enough
Staring down at the ground
Oh then complain and pray
more from above
Greedy little pig
Stop just watch your world trickle away
Oh it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in
a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Don't burn the day away
Come sister
my brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love! love!? what more is there?
We need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
Don't burn the day away
Look
Here are we
On this starry night staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust
Lying down here
What point could there be troubling
Head down wondering what will
become of me
Why concern we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
Time is short but that's all right
Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night
Take your hands from your eyes, my love
Everything must end some time
Don't burn the day away
Come sister
My brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come flooding in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love! love!? what more is there?
We need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
Cry
Freedom
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Cry freedom, cry
From a crowd '0,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not
subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be
raised
While we wait head in hands,
hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless
sleep again
And we wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away
There was a window and by
it stood
A mirror in which
he could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had
but hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us,
Slip away
In this room stood a little
child
And in this room this little
child
she would remain
Until someone might decide
To dance this little child
across this hall
Into a cold, dark, space
Where she might never trace
her way across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where
we are all confined
Till we wave our hands
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
Hear what I say
Hear what I say Oh, so be
it
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Bartender
If I go
Before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine
Please dont forget me
If I go
Bartender Please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set him free
After three days in the ground
Oh and if I die before my
time
Sweet sister of mine
Please dont regret me
If I die
Bartender Please
Fill My glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set him free after three
days in the ground
I'm on bended knees, I pray
Bartender Please
I'm on bended knees
Father Please
Oh, and if all this gold
Should still my soul away
Oh, mother of mine please
redirect me
If this gold
Bartender you see
The wine that's drinking
me
Came from the vine
That strung Judas from the
devil's tree
Deep, Deep in the ground
I'm on bended knees
Bartender Please
When I was Young didn't think
about it
Now I just want to run and
hide
I'm on bended knees
Father Please
The
Last Stop
Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears
War
The only way to Peace
I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
Oh no
Gracious even God
Bloodied the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mother's cry
"Is hate so deep
Must a baby's bones
This hungry fire feed?"
As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
Scream
Right is wrong now
Shut up you big lie
This black and white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Here there's more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're always so right
There you are nailing good to a tree
Then say forgive me, forgive me
Why
Raining tears
This is the last stop
Here there is more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white
Don't
Drink the Water
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will
bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Seek
Up
Sometimes I feel like I'm
falling
Fall back again, fall back
again,
Fall back again, fall back
again
Oh, life it seems a struggle
between
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 afll God's gaze upon
us fall
His mischievous grin, look
at him
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emtions can be swept
away
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find
our lives swept away
Sit awhile with TV's hungry
child
Big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a coke
or a smoke
Keep alive those hungy eyes
Take a look at me, what you
see in me,
Mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all
again
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
your emtions can be
Wwept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
i am innocent instead
For soon we will all find
our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
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
Say, say
Look at me in my fancy car
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
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Your emtions can be swept
away
Intentions are not wicked,
Don't be tricked into thinking
so
Soon we will all find our
lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
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
Fall back again, fall back
again, fall back again...
Warehouse
Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful
beggining
You and I let us fumble around
in the touches
And be sure to
Leave all the lights on
So I can see the black cat
changing colors
And walk under ladders
And travel my eyes over you
Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million
Slip into the crowd
This question I found in
the gap in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
The black cat changing colors
I can walk under ladders
And swim as the tides choose
to turn me
And here I sit
Life goes on, end of tunnel,
TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistic bit
And soon I fade away, fade
away
This I admit
Taste so good, hard to believe
an end to it
Smell touch feel
How could this rhythm ever
quit
Bags packed on a plane
Hopefully to heaven
Shut up I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone
forever
Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever
you're needing to
Keep all your sights on
The big bad black cat that's
Changing colors
It's not the colors that matter
But that they'll all fade
away
This I admit
Seems so full
Hard to believe an end to
it
Warehouse is bare
Nothing at all inside of
it
Walls and halls have disappeared
My love I love to stay here
How I love to stay here
In the warehouse
Thats my blood down there
Seemed poured by the hands
of Angels
And it trickles into this
ground
My warehouse is so bear and
empty
And my hearts numbered beats
Still echo in this empty
room
And the fear wells in me
But theres nothing too big
enough for me to stay here
I'm going to go away
We all fade away
Typical
Situation
Ten fingers we have each
Nine planets around the sun
repeat
Eight ball is the last if
you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores
of the sea
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't step in line
We'll lock you away
Six senses keeping
Five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and
turn off
I can see three corners from
this corner
Two is a perfect number
But one
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't step in line
We'll lock you away
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
We can't do a thing about
it
Typical Situation was inspired by "A Prayer in the Pentagon" by Robert Dederick!
THIS IS THE SONG THAT JESSICA LIKES!
Satellite
Satellite in my 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
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the
storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around,
hey satellite
Satellite, headlines read
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?
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the
storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around,
hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds
no resrictions
Television we bounce 'round
the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling,
I laugh about the weatherman's
satellite eyes.
Satellite in my 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
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the
storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around,
hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds
no restrictions
Television you bounce from
the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about this world
in my satellite eyes.
