sing what you feel inside your pride and faith.

bring what you know to life through melody and you
songs that ache with love
i shiver in the thrall of what we take and give
we live5
we live and live and live...
live on.

all we thought
all we sought
all they bought
what they taught
inadvertently
all we see
all we know
time to go
let it flow

what we missed

i ride the plough
'til it's my time.
i am not too loud
i bide my time
i try to keep in line.
i ride the plough
'til it's my time
i am not too loud
i try to keep in line.
i ride the plough

what we missed
what slipped right through our fingertips
who we kissed
reaching for some state of bliss
destinies
curling in los angeles
turned and tossed
dreaming of the worlds we lost
you, me
barely free, and casting around for more
crashing the shore, mulling about
working it out
wish we knew
jumping out the avenue
what was true
rolling like a pool cue
where to, where to now?
attribute
purple like my vintage suit
parachute
rendering these lyrics moot.

late late late late late one night
while we was camping out
far far far far from the light of civilization
stars stars stars stars stars stars stars
nearer and far-far-farther
i i i i glimpsed a truth
oh my motherfucking god
plastered to the side of a spinning sphere floating in space
orbiting a giant ball of atoms fusing
taken for a ride o why are we all here floating in space?
gifted with the sliver of an understanding
sideways on a pile of water and stone floating in space
certain my perception can be no illusion
feel so small yet.. knowing i'm not alone, seeing your face
laughing at the laughing with the laugh among the
great balls of fusion!
thousands of great balls of fusion
millions of great balls of fusion
billions of great balls of fusion
trillions of great balls of fusion
quadrillions of great balls of fusion
quintillions of great balls of fusion
sextillions of great balls of fusion
holy fucking shit
plastered to the side of a spinning sphere floating in space
orbiting a giant ball of atoms fusing
taken for a ride o why are we all here floating in space?
gifted with the sliver of an understanding
sideways on a pile of water and stone floating in space
certain my perception can be no illusion
feel so small yet.. knowing i'm not alone, seeing your face

are you well versin'?
are you a sha-person?
marijuana, nice knowin' ya.
smoke blowin' ya to the corner.
ecstasy, oh you made me free
tempo-warily
ayowasca tourist, lost in any forest
now listen to the chorus:
joan! you will never make that journey alone!
that medusa turn your darkness to stone!
nothing left here but your pain and your phone!
(and i'm well aware your name isn't joan)
hon! you are never ever gonna be done!
pouring grief confusion into the sun!
sweeping unruly hair into a bun!
sorry, not sorry for calling you hon.
are you well versin'?
are you a sha-person?
nitrous oxide - it's been quite a ride toward communicide
kratom - it was great-um, now you hate 'em
adderall helped you do it all
wish you still had 'em all (to get through it all).
anna! you can't keep those feelings sealed in a can-a
you will need a more sustainable plan-a
live this shit in a collaborative manner
names been changed to protect the inno-canna
higher (power)!
helped you realize it's hot in the fire!
i am chasing you both lower and liar!
i am grateful that you chose to retire!
i forgive you, where's the air in my tire?
are you well versin'?
are you! a sha-person?
are you?
are you?
are you!?!?
are you?
how about you?
are you?
Na na na na na na no no no no no no no no
ha, no no no no no no no no no no
hah! la la na na na na na na na na na na

a world of panic, and melodies manic
yet outlook sunny in the clubhouse of money.
rocked your roles, nurturing souls.
but something broke at the coffee break stroke
i make no sense of thy experience.
a life of walking, connecting with talking
bridge of amazing, flanging and phasing
hopes dashed, slashed, and smashed
cling in the night to the laughter and the light
the thieves dispense with your experience.
her hot head fortuitously in your bed
her love shine held you above the water line
with no choice, still chose to be your voice
and your protector. your resurrector!
there is no price to all her sacrifice!
they warm my colors with the aid of propellers
warm the colder with the love of the older
warm my bath with the love of a laugh
drive on the lawn of the parallel dawn yeah!
your resurrector!
your protector!
your resurrector!
ooh ooh oh
dancer, romancer, respect her, protector!

yeah, i heard what you said.
i'm thinking it over.
our code's not nearly red and we're not nearly dead.
i read your latest plan.
i gotta be honest.
it's got some promise! and the moment's nearly upon us.
yes, it is.
we've seen our share of yesterdays
less than our share of sorrows
when there's nothing left to say
well, i guess, we'll run out of tomorrows.
we'll just run out of tomorrows.
ba da bip a doo da doo da doo da doo da dee tee dee da-a-a.
you've heard it said before
by somebody smarter
maybe jimmy carter - or some rock star martyr
when i walked through that door
the electrical socket that's in my pocket
reached back and magically locked it behind me.
and we surfed upon that salty wave
got water up our noses
those memories we try to save
dry up like petals on these roses
like petals on these roses!
ba da bip a doo da doo da doo da doo da dee tee dee da-a-a.
we look up to the galaxies ah!
some say it's god's design
but i believe this laughter that we're laughing is the only thing that's truly divine
yeah, it's the only thing
it's the only thing!
it's the only thing!
the laughter, and the love i feel for you.
ba da bip a doo da doo da doo da doo da dee tee dee da-a-a.
