It's All Coming Out
04:03

Sit on the side of the world
Stuck on the side of the world
Sick of the sight of the world
Lost in the eyes of the world
Sit on the side of the world
Laugh at the games of the world
Broke by the lies of the world
Flowers surrounding the world
Heartbreak, daydreams, sleepy smiles
Modes of being in this suffering age
His mortal shell screams inside
Drowned by life's intolerable sounds
Itchy temples, foggy sighs, thoughts collapse and hearts ignite
Formulas to reach beyond, outside, or deep within
Hope is wasted energy
A shield from life's impulsive whims
Throbbing, throbbing melodies
Soaring around on a trapeze
The audience expects to laugh
And passively accepts the joke
Their own lives belong in a circus
Featured right after the elephants and right before the man with a big red nose
I searched inside myself and I found nothing of worth
Dummy, ghost, monkey meat
Trapped by compulsions that wreak havoc on my well-being
Foggy thoughts blow away before I can examine them
External skies suck my heart of all its luster
Sit on the side of the world

My Pleasures Are Few
03:50
|
|||
I don't work for food or pay any rent
How's that for a little secret?
Respect, it don't matter to me
As long as livin' remains free
I'm a hardened shell with pantomime structures
A grain of sand on the cosmic shore
My heart's in a wreck cuz our stories will diverge
I wanna see you and be renewed
I stay in my room and think about life
It's oh so fun to philosophize
How long will this work for me?
I can't forget that money ain't free
I'm a hardened shell with pantomime structures
A grain of sand on the cosmic shore
My heart's in a wreck cuz our stories will diverge
I wanna see you and be renewed
Each day lingers on and the nights they move too fast
Burdened by poisonous dreams left for dead
My chest clings to habits I picked up in the dark
My days are long and my pleasures are few!

Falling In Love
03:38
|
|||
I thought I saw you look at me, and I think you are sexy
This feeling has me turning red, a reminder I'm not dead (yeah)
Falling in love with the cute, young girl who's checking me out at Sprouts, ringin' up groceries
The look in her eyes says she doesn't wanna be checking me out or ringing up groceries
She doesn't know that I've been where she's been before, I've felt what she's feeling
Feelings galore, we all have them so please let me feel you and feel free to feel me
I'd like to take you home with me, so we can talk about some things
Like the fact that I love you (it's true, it's really true), even though I just met you (yeah yeah yeah)
Falling in love with the cute, young girl who's checking me out at Sprouts, ringin' up groceries
The look in her eyes says she doesn't wanna be checking me out or ringing up groceries
She doesn't know that I've been where she's been before, I've felt what she's feeling
Feelings galore, we all have them so please let me feel you and feel free to feel me

Ecstatic Worms
03:14
|
|||
Freedom through kindness and lowered expectations
Freedom through musical ecstasy
Freedom through authentic feelings
Freedom through letting go
Freedom through coming to terms with the absurd
Freedom through acceptance of life's inevitables
Freedom through giving it your all
Freedom through mindful conformity
Freedom through self-immolation
Freedom through intentional thought patterns
Freedom through uncensored expression
Freedom through moving forward

A Human Invention
03:36
|
|||
The way you make me feel!
You make me feel so good!
Matters of taste and matters of convention
Take my heart, it's a human invention!
Dazzled by dreams and dazzled by eternity
I feel quite small, but I also feel free!

Open this broken heart of mine
Inside you'll find a new paradigm
Try to put pieces back in place
You'll find they'll need to be rearranged
It's a muddy walk to paradise

I don't have to say a thing
She knows exactly what I want
But anytime I feel like this
What we have goes out for lunch
She looks at me like a gun cocked
And I'm afraid to turn my back
For fear of being loved
She leans forward for me to see
The lights of her majesty
She's tempting me with a razor blade
But time is money at a penny arcade
And there's monkeys in the shadows
Yeah there's monkeys in the shadows
And virgins afraid of being laid
The court jester holds up a light bulb and says
"All that is made is made to decay"
To know her is to love her
And I love her, but I don't know her
To know her is to love her
And I love her, but I don't know her
I feel for a place to sit
Things always go on this way
I'm lost for a little bit
'Til I come up with something to say
Then I'll go on and on and on and on
About rat skulls in her lawn
I'll not specifically mention names her and I know
We're just ashamed
She knows I'm here
And she readily rebukes her sister
She treats me with a sudden respect
Suddenly she calls me mister
But just as soon, I soon forget
And start poking around in the trash
Talking myself into outer space
And watching the reactions on her face
To know her is to love her
And I love her but I don't know her
To know her is to love her
And I love her but I don't know her
The picture of her sitting there
Me and her on that chair
I can only say as much as I please
But not as much as I dare
Where is the little girl who fell in love with me
The girl who fell in love with a sat-el-lite
That little girl's moved out now
But the satellite still comes around
Most every other night
I think my interest bleeds a heart
Of a dead dog lying in her yard
I could catch her breath and bottle it
But I could never catch her off guard
Now when I go there nowadays
It's like visiting a sinking ship
And I'm a man overboard
And she won't throw me a lifeline
Symbolically represented by her lips
You know me because you love me
And you love me because you know me
You know me because you love me
And you love me because you know me

NO More Favors
04:21
|
|||
No more favors for my family and friends
Cuz I'm sinking deeper in the deep end!
I squeeze my stomach and I clench my fists
I feel like I wanna throw a fit!
No more favors
No more favors
No more favors anymore
No more favors
Cuz I'm a greedy, slimy bastard
I only want what's good for me
_________________________________________________
I'm a mustard turtle, I have no friends
I'm a mustard turtle, is this the end?
He's a mustard turtle, at the end of his rope
Yeah he's a mustard turtle, oh what a joke!
Mustard turtle la la la

Clean Cut NO More
03:35
|

Existing alone in a field of black space, encompassed by a blanket of all, beyond love, thinking: "What does it mean to be?"
Mind returning, the self is burning
I ride in the flow, the flow of the All!
I see mySelf in the cheery handman
I realize I shall die by my own hand!
Life, it's what we're livin'
Breathin', seein', and bein'
Life, the only thing livin'
Inside and outside
Swimming is sinking and sinking is swimming.
We all look for ourselves in others when we won't find ourselves anywhere but in our own innermost selves.
I inhabit every reality by the power of thought invested in me.
Mind returning, the self is burning
I ride in the flow, the flow of the All!
I see mySelf in the cheery handman
I realize I shall die by my own hand!
Life, it's what we're livin'
Breathin', seein', and bein'
Life, the only thing livin'
Inside and outside
The sameness is scary
It cringles my scringles
The truth, it exists
In the depths of your eyes
If I were a fox, would it be a surprise?
_________________________________________________
Feel like I'm growin' apart from my best friend
But I don't care cuz everything ends
A lot of fun, yes we had
Now it seems we're on a different path

NOwhere To Go But Out
04:12
|
|||
I let my family down!
They don't approve of me!
I shall not wear the crown!
This truth is plain to see!
_________________________________________________
I sing my songs, embrace things unknown
This life is not my own
I stand in awe and lose myself
In the infinite drone
Disapproval all around, but I won't let it get me down
Born into freedom, gradually slipped into bondage somewhere along the way
Now the slippage is reversing and what is naturally mine is returning
I don't wanna run or hide anymore
From the face in the mirror or the knock on the door
I know that all is well
There's no such thing as hell
Thoughts and prayers are my bread-and-butter
I want to do nothing less than the greatest good in every perceived segment of the eternal present
I sing my songs, embrace things unknown
This life is not my own
I stand in awe and lose myself
In the infinite drone

She's There
04:11
|
|||
Wherever there's trouble, she's there
Whenever there's hunger, she'll be there
To make things better, she walks in love
She keeps the darkness at bay, with her light
She taught me how to live
My most important teacher
Mother strives to walk like he did
How can I ever repay her?
Committed to the task of a life of love
It's what she strives for everyday
Nothing less than a life of love
And all her children say: "thank you"
She taught me how to live
My most important teacher
Mother strives to walk like he did
How can I ever repay her?

I used to think maybe you love me, now baby I'm sure
And I just cant wait till the day, when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mail box, gotta hold myself down
'cause I just cant wait till you write me, you're coming around
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good!
I used to think maybe you love me, I know that it's true
And I don't wanna spend all of my life just waiting for you just waiting for you
Now I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day, no, no, no
Baby, I just want you back and I want you to stay
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good!
Walking on sunshine
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real
I'm on sunshine baby
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good!
I'm walking on sunshine

A Chance Encounter
07:32
|
|||
Exploring caverns with underwater debris
Noting results of biological change
Enjoying the rush of sensational glee
Knowing this feeling wouldn't last
By consensus the Proph becomes the leader of three
Peering through pathways of ancient design
We entered the Rainbow Lagoon by chance
Drawn by sounds made by ancient bluesmen
Laughing and crawling like creatures outside
Of reticular structures and systems divine
Confused and amused to almost equal degrees
Diminishing egos create memories
A wonderful boy with a humorous gleam
Sees his future self enjoy his last cup of joe
A spiritual world opens for the youngest of three
Filled with eyelashes and a lady of light
Chunks of fresh rock history
I close my eyes and escape into NOW
In the morning light I feel so bright
I'm sitting on the beach
The waves are soft static forever
rolling
The sand is sifting through gold mist
And I love you boys more than ever
I dove through the icy water
And felt the universe naked
Coming towards me
The womb was waiting for me
To return
Healing light
Warmth and pineapple
Sonic waves
And your hands were patting on the carpet so close to my tender ears
An aquarium in the morning
A rainbow lagoon full of strange sights
Warped creatures reflected in the glass
I'm sitting on a curb
The air is cool with memories
My heart full of gratitude
And I think of the words you have given me
And I love you more than ever my boys
I love you more than ever

Moments Of Eternity
05:35
|
|||
Everyday I'm waiting for an intrusion
Of the conscious mind from a past self
To shine some light on me in the darkness
To help me find my way out of this hell
I won't find it in drugs
I won't find it in sex
I shouldn't strive for material debris
All I need is me
Those moments of eternity
When I forget who's me
Those moments set me free
Moments of eternity
