Large fingers pushing pain You're God and you got big hands Colors blend The challenges you give me Seek my part Devote myself My small self Like a book amongst the many on a shelf Sometimes I know Sometimes I rise Sometimes I fall Sometimes I don't Sometimes I cringe Sometimes I live Sometimes I walk Sometimes I kneel Sometimes I speak of nothing at all Sometimes I reach to myself here God
Ah is there room for both of us Both of us as one Are we bound out of obligation Is that all we've got? I hear the words and then I get to thinking I don't wanna think I wanna feel How do I feel How do I? If you're the only one When I never be enough then? Hail, Hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love I gonna love you till the day I die Ah, and beyond Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come? Can tag along anything can happen The past it carried I can be nude Don't underestimate me If you're the only one When I never be enough then? Hail, Hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love Yah! Sometimes realize I could only be as good as you let me Are you woman enough to be my man Bangaged hand in hand Yo! Like winding on the run In a race that can't be one All hail the luck ones I refer to those in love If your my only one So good you only want I want to be your one Enough Your one, your one, your one

Come to send, not condescend Transcended to consequences To transcend Where we are Who are we, Who we are Trampled marks on your souls Changes all your apart Seen it all, not at all Can't defend, Fucked up men Take me for a ride Before we leave Circumstance, clapping hands I dry in winds, ever in stance Off the track, in the mud That's the marks, Every one should nurse Just a little time Before we leave Stop light plays it parts So I would say, you've got a part What's you part, who you are you are who, who you are

Up here in my tree, yeah Newspapers matter not to me No more crowbars to my head, yeah I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah Wave to all my friends, yeah They don't seem to notice me, no I ashtrayed on the street, yo, oh Sidewall cigarettes It seems they're dead Up here so high I start to shake Up here so high, the sky I scrape I'm so high I hold just one breath Keep it in my chest, Just like innocence I remember when I thought I knew everything They say knowledge is a tree Growing up just like me I'm so lucky with these shades I'm so high the sky I scrape I'm so high I'll hold just one breath Deep within my chest Sleepless Up here so high the bows they break Up here so high the sky I scrape And my eyes feel both wide open And I gotta glimpse of my innocence I fight my innocence I got it, said keep it

Don't it make you smile? Don't it make you smile? When the sun don't shine (it don't shine at all) Don't it make you smile? Don't it make you smile? Don't it make me smile?

Know a man His face seems pulled and tense Likes he's riding on a motorbike In the strongest winds So I approach with tact Suggest that he should relax But he's always moving much to fast Said he'll see me on the flipside On this trip he's taken for a ride He's been takin' Too much on There he goes With his perfectly unkept hope There he goes He's yet to come back But I see his picture It doesn't look the same up on the rack We go way back I wonder bout his insides It's like his thoughts are too big for his size He's been takin' Where? I don't know Off he goes With his perfectly unkept hope There he goes And now I rub my eyes For he has returned Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned For he still smiles And he's still strong Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshir That has grown And now he's home And we're laughing Like we always did My same old, same old friend Until a quarter to ten I saw the strain creep in He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen then Before his first step He's off again

Watched from a window With a red mosquito I was not allowed to leave the room I saw the sun go down And now it's coming up Somewhere in the time between I was bitten Must have been the devil He was just paying me A little visit Reminded me of his presence Letting me know He's a waiting Red man's your neighbor Call it behavior While your climbing up slippery hills Two steps ahead of him Punctures in your neck Hovering just above your bed (x2) I was bitten Must have been the devil He was just paying me A little visit Reminded me of his presence Letting me know He's a waiting (x2) If I had known then, what I know right now (x4)

Walked down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home I'll take a walk so I can close my ass in a little dump I'll make you learn the undistinguished prison bone (?) So let the supermarket people sell their common guns I'm going to Lukin's I got a spot at Lukin's I've gotta go to Lukin's Open the fridge Now I know what life is worth I find the key but then I turn to find an open door So fucking bring who claims a father my revolver son I'm on my walk back home and call the cops these things were never done Nothing hurts in the frequent purchasing a fuckin gun

Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the suns rays A lesson to be applied Are you getting something out of this All encompassing trails You can spend your time alone Redigesting past regrets, ooh Or you can, come to terms and Realize you're the alone that can forgive yourself, ooh Makes much more sense To live in the present tense Have you ideas on how this life ends Checked the hands and studied the lines Have you ever believed that the road ahead Ascends off, into the light Seems that needlessly it's getting harder To find an approach and know where to live Are we getting something out of this More than encompassing trails You can spend you time alone Redigesting past regrets, ooh Or you can come to terms and Realize you're the only one who cannot forgive yourslef, OOH! It makes much more sense To live in the present tense

You'll be going out with radio Going out with disco Going out like bacchanal I'll be going out with telephone Going out alone To the radar zone It's all just inadvertent, imitation And I don't mean mine It's all across this nation If it's just inadvertent simulation A pattern in all mankind What's got the whole world faking it I'll be playing with my magazine Using up my listerine Like ovaltine And you'll be dippin in your battleship For the latest tip For the latest dream It's all just inadvertent, imitation And I don't mean mine It's all across this nation If it's just inadvertent simulation A pattern in all mankind What's got the whole world faking it If it's just inadvertent imitation A pattern in all mankind What's got the whole world faking (x6)

A man lies in his bed In a room with no door He waits hoping for a presence Something, anything to enter After spending half his life searching He still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing So is he? When he was 6, he believed that the moon overhead followed him By 9, he had deciphered the illusion Trading magic for facts No trade backs So this is what it is like to be an adult If he only knew now what he knew then I'm open (x2) Come on in (x4) I'm open (x2) Come on in (x4) Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers He decides to dream Dream up a new self For himself

I'm wishing you all well Finding peace within yourself Lovers of I guess you all I'll be watching as you breathe I lie still You move I send You off around the bend I hold your head deep in my arms My fingertips they close your eyes Off you dream my little child There's a sun around the bend There's a sun around the bend All the evenings close like this All these moments that I've missed Please forgive me wont' you dear Please forgive and let be shared With you around the bend You're an angel when you sleep How I want your soul to keep On and on around the bend
