Meat Puppets Album

Two rivers rolling by
Two waters side by side
Never touching, they remain
When they meet the waters change
Two rivers, one name
River flows with many names
Water leading water's aim
Finding ways to change again
Finding yet another name

It's righteousness is shining
It walks on ruby shoes
There's not too much of nothing
You cannot make it do
I cross the muddy river
To dig a diamond mine
I got a good thing working
On diamond mining time
I got some cotton candy
I got a spool of thread
I'm gonna weave a basket
And put it on my head
Inside the mighty basket
I carry rattlesnakes
You got to be a monkey
To see the sense it makes
DRY RAIN
You said you'd make it grow
You said you'd make it green
But I see dusty fields
Broken rock is all I see
And all around me
I see your storm clouds
Another lies about to fall
It seemed like it was real
Felt like water to my skin
But I stepped through the rainbow
And saw the desert deep within
And all around me
Are roaring waters
But I won't let me
Be swept away
And all around me
I see the Pharaohs
I see collections
Of hats and guns

Down in the valley
There's an animal kingdom
You can't even see it
Till the sun goes down
Up in the mountains
There's beautiful rings
On fingers that dance
To invisible sound
Up in my head
There's an animal kingdom
I am the king
Of the animals there
Up in the mountains (my head)
I'm a beautiful singer
To birds that dance
On invisible air

Way off down the road
There comes Wagon Red
Found himself a nickel
Went straight to his head
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
I looked out my window
I saw Medium Joe
Lighting both ends of his candle
Glowing from head to toe
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
New car cherry tomato
Pulled off all the doors
Pulled off the steering wheel
Got the pedal taped to the floor
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa
Get on down
Get on down
Get on down
Whoa

Every thought's a game
A pack of chimps I cannot tame
You're wondering who to blame
Now your ride has come up lame
Fortres full of hate
Fears and hopes all pound the gate
To early, it's too late
What is evil, which is great?
Pigs are sheep and cats are dogs
And thoughts are made of Lincoln Logs
To tend to the mice and wood
Where black is blue and bad is good
Thoughts that I keep my money in
Melt some wax and chunks of tin
Forget your name, how to walk and ignore
The light shining in from under the door
Thoughts like a thread through a foam device
Liquid bread and rubber ice
Make a promise, grow teeth, go to bed
Wake up when you're dead

Find us at night by our glowing embers
this band's curse inflicts all its members
gotta get stoned once in a while
we get stoned like its going out of style
just think of all the things we'd have
if we saved our money
but all our money's gone up in smoke
I cough blood, we all choke

Doesn't it blow so cold and lonely
Oh, and it's blowin your way
Thunder roars, the clouds are reeling
A thousand shades of gray
And it falls you see it all
All that you see
Comes from nowhere
Can't be explained
No one can buy
The wind and the rain
Whistling wind the stars are shooting
Night is falling somewhere
Gimme a door, I feel like walking
Putting the wind in my hair
As it falls the thunder calls
Calls its own name
Can't be controlled
Can't be contained
No one can buy
The wind and the rain
Throughout the years
Some things remain
No one can buy
The wind and the rain
Throughout the years
Some things remain
No one can buy
The wind and the rain

[No lyrics]

c'mon everybody you know what I mean
won't spell it out for you it's so plain
we're gonna play some numbers this you'd better believe
yes we surely are and we're gonna achieve
don't start talking about bangin' the walls
it isn't gonna happen these are well-guarded halls
don't start talking about how thing's gonna change
you know we don't believe you, we think you're deranged
just give us your money and tell us we're swell
we'll play some tunes for you and then go to hell

Two rivers rolling by
Two waters side by side
Never touching, they remain
When they meet the waters change

Two rivers, one name
River flows with many names
Water leading waters aim
Finding ways to change again
Finding yet another name

I lost my mind a couple of gals ago
I left behind, never saw it go
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
I took the time a couple of days ago
To cross my mind, the only thing I know
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
I drove too fast, hit the brakes too soon
I broke my wheels, blew my afternoon
There's just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
I took the time, they never saw it go
I left behind the only thing I know
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
