So you heard
I crossed over the line
Do I have regrets?
Well, not yet
there are some,
some who give Blood
I give love
I give

Soon before the sun
before the sun
begins to rise
I know that I
I must give
so that I
I can live

There are some,
some whose give
twists itself to take
they mis-take
who, what made up the line
some say it was pain
or was it shame

Soon before the sun
before the sun
begins to rise
I know that I
I must give
so that I
I can live
Some
Some who give Blood
I give love
I give

"Do a dance for me."
Baby it is late still you pour me
a tall one...
"Go on, let the liquid take off what you're on.
You've been down before..."
Boy, not like this.
I'm in Quicksand I am sinking fast
"perfect," he laughed, "cause your other half has
got himself a Devil's access-- Welcome to England,"
he said, "Welcome to my world. You better bring your own sun
sweet girl. You gotta bring your own sun now don't you forget --
you bring your own sun, just enough for everyone."

Heels on. Go on.
Bang a Tango but do not get tangled
Who can stay strong? when they only give us lies to lean on
When your heart explodes is it deathly cold?
You must let the colors violate the
Blackness
There is a magic world parallel
so leave your daily
hell-- "Welcome to England,"
he said, "Welcome to my world..."
It's not a question if I can
Fight by your side and withstand
Anything but,
I forgot that you said, "Girl if you come...
you better bring your sun.
Sweet girl, you gotta bring your sun
Now don't you forget you bring your sun--
Just enough for
everyone
for everyone
"Welcome to England"
welcome to england

. . .


Shut your mouth
I'm spinnin' it tight down south
I'm on raid
tie you down cause boy I can
save you from that evil faith
Eagles serve yeah uhhuh Mother first
they turn you predator but boy I can
save you from that evil faith
Arms sold in Balmy cities that may not be with us for long
save you from that evil faith
lay back
Strong Black Vine
submission
Is my mission for a
Strong Black Vine
you just might see that
sweet jesus
Strong Black Vine
submission
is my mission for a
Strong Black Vine
your mission
concentrate
Blown to bits her innocent flesh to dust
all for a dark god
all for the love of some evil faith
Swollen stream
every drip serpents bless
you rape Earth knowledge
still she would save you from your evil faith
Bodies bathe is black gold your pleasure
Arms sold in Balmy cities that may not be with us for long
save you from that evil faith

. . .


Battle of the minds
cries Below cries Above
You must pick a side
Will you choose fear?
Will you choose love?

What does it look like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of The Milky Way?
What does it feel like,
this orbital ball on the fringes of The Milky Way?
Raining flavor
Icing flavor
flavor love

Whose God then is God?
They all want jurisdiction
In the Book of Earth
whose God spread fear?
Spread love?

And what does it look like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of The Milky Way?
What does it feel like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of The Milky Way?
Raining Flavor
Icing Flavor
flavor love
Turn up the frequency
What does it look like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of The Milky Way?
What does it feel like,
this orbital ball from the fringes of The Milky Way?
Raining flavor
Icing flavor
Spread that flavor
flavor flavor

There was a gambler and a cleaner and a puppeteer
only the puppet could explain just what he was
All on a bus we were hopin' to pass the time
plug my piece in boys then we can drink the wine
drink the wine drink the wine--
music, good friends, I'm not din' today.
I may be 6 feet under full of wonder
I'm not dyin' today
Dyin' today
I'm not dyying mister
today
Neil is thrilled he can claim he's mammalian
"But the bad news," he said, "Girl, you're a dandelion."
Dandelion, hey I need to think about that.
Yeah, I thought about that and I said,
"What the Hell?"
He said, "Nope, you are Earth bound, blow them seeds away
maybe one will make a sound."
Make a sound, make a sound--
music, good friends,
I'm not Dyin' Today
I may be 6 feet under full of thunder,
I'm not Dyin' Today.
Dyin' today.
I'm not dyin' mister
today
So they got us go
goin' and comin'
Cause they make us pay
If we go or stay
Is he prayin'
that I'll pop my clogs?
If they can't prove I'm crazy
by noon I'll be pushin' up them daisies
Tomorrow, with their Donut box they'll say,
"It's sad she's Brown Bread."
Hey, I got my weapons--
music, good friends,
I'm not Dyin' today.
I may be 6 feet under
way down yonder
I'm not Dyin' today
Dyin'
I'm not dying, sister, take your paws off
my ankle straps and my mister
Dyin' Fryin', rather have a lie-in
I am not blowin' that Gabriel's Trumpet
I got my own band to play today

. . .


hey Mrs. see, please don't jump
"why not, nothing is making sense anymore to me
I don't know when I stopped making him smile.
Now the kids see me cry all the time."

From one mother to the other
They'll never get over this
for their lifetime all their wishes
will be dashed upon those cliffs.

So let's be, be strong you and me
The night is o-opening
Our angels are falling
and they will warm
they'll warm us
She asked, "Right Now?
Right Here?"
I'm feelin' soon,
soon my dear,
maybe california
maybe california.

As mothers we have our troubles
You'll leave them with emptiness
for their lifetime all their wishes will be dashed upon those cliffs
those cliffs

So let's be strong you and me
the night is o- it is opening
our angels are falling
and they will warm
they will warm us
She asked, "Right Now?
Right Here?"
I'm feelin' soon so soon my dear,
maybe california
maybe california
Until then there will be
starlight shining down
for every tear in every town

ebony beauty
pass this shade
the looking glass relects
then a voice calls me back,
"this is just circumstance it is not
personal", oh no it never is.
then you ram your hand in your bag
for a little friendly substance

By the time you're 25
they will say, "you've gone and blown it".
By the time you're 35, I must confide,
you will have blown them all
Right on cue just act surprised
when they invite you to take
your curtain call
you climbed China's wall
your
curtain call

I have done what I've done
and it has the ultimate consequence
then a voice calls me back,
"this is not business, no,
its more like spiritual"
is that what it is
Then you ram your hand in your bag
for a little protection

By the time you're 25
they will say, "you've gona and blown it."
By the time you're 35, I must confide,
you will have blown them all
Right on cue just act surprised
when they invite you to take
your curtain call
you climbed China's wall
your curtain call

ebony beauty
pass this shade
the looking glass reflects

. . .


Shock
got the shock of my life
just buckle up girls
I'm stealing the night
From them
steal the night
What they're down to
let's see in cold day light
I gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

Cause she's up
And I am low
Watching you
Watching her play this game
yeah she's bold
bold enough
to set fire to your plain
her fire to your plain

Pray
you can pray to your jane
I put out the call
but not to be saved
Called my Deviline kin
with her yellow Astin Martin
"we gotta get this right"
I gotta get this right

Cause she's up
And I am low
Watching him
Watching her play this game
yeah she's bold
Bold enough
to set fire to his plain

she said, 'Get in and set the SAT-NAV to hell"
Or would it be Purgatory
I gotta get this right
I gotta get this right

Cause she's up
And I am low
Watching you
Watching her play this game
yeah she's bold
Bold enough
to set fire to your plain
Her fire to your plain
Her fire
Bold enough
Her fire to your plain

Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me
Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me

We've got your own remote viewing
Every cell has been taught to think
Perhaps the answer to the question
Lies in the question
Perhaps you should read my thoughts
Line them up like soldiers

Police yourself
Police youself
Police me

Loaded, full of winter you are
Storming Blackberry girl
Will you strike before he's
Loaded, full of winter you are storming
Blackberry girl will you strike
Before he's loaded
Full of winter you are

Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me

Can they monitor how you think?
They've got their own remote viewing
To get off he cries "slutty goth"
But I'm a brightly colored person

Loaded, full of winter you are
Storming Blackberry girl
Will you strike before he's
Loaded, full of winter you are storming
Blackberry girl will you strike
Before he's loaded
Full of winter you are
Perhaps the answer to the question
Lies in the question
Perhaps you should read my thoughts
Line them up like soldiers

Police yourself
Police yourself
Police me

That guy swears he will walk
And carries a chip as big as new york
That guy
At night makes me scream
And smashes the best possibilities
That guy
Just brings his war home she cries
Why can't daddy leave his war outside?
That guy
When he wants can love
Like no other love
Until the darkness comes
Do we make up to break up?
Do we break up then wake up?
To cuts instead of kisses
To cuts instead
Instead
Instead
That guy swears he will walk
And carries a chip as big as new york
That guy
Cannot seem to see
There are no other guys
But the one he used to be
Do we make up to break up?
Do we break up then wake up?
To cuts instead of kisses
To cuts instead
Instead
Instead
Will we make up?
Will we break up?
Will I wake up with with
That guy
That guy
That guy

. . .


Impeccable peccadillo
You are off your guard
Pussy will calls there by the church
"Don't go in if you are abnormally attracted to sin"
Abnormally attracted to sin
She may be dead to you
But her hips sway a natural kind of faith
That could give your lost heart
A warm chapel
You'll sleep in her bell tower
And you will simply wake
Abnormally attracted to sin
Abnormally attracted to sin
Impeccable peccadillo
I know who you are
Tales of longing sway
Lost without a verse
Hymns of swing lay low there by the church
"Don't go in if you are abnormally attracted to sin'

. . .


He walked 300 miles
Just to bring, to bring me bread
His body like a sculpture
Almost decorated

And i'll wake him
As the dawn does
And we'll break in
On the bus
Saying this was
Made for us and love

In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will he break, bring me again
In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will we break, even break

Step it up
Grab your phone
Get your suitcase
There's no time to waste
A big adventure awaits

Sad news... France
Suffered a late snow
The blooms break through the ice
In San Francisco
A guitar man finally confessed
He loved that actress
Hearts touched by frost, we fought
In the land of the midnight sun
I lost myself
I lost myself

I walk 300 miles
Just to bring, to bring him bread
In love some gifts are simple
Of those i am derated
So i wake him as the dawn does
And we'll face what any lovers must
Blueness pales within a flame's lust

In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will he break, bring me again
In lovers' communion
For 500 miles
And in 500 miles
Will he break
Even break
Will we break... even break
Break... even break...
Does love
Don't we

Make life even
Break

. . .


Then he said, "Mom I want to forna...
I mean formulate and discover the realms of the unknown
with Mary Jane
After all you'll be away for the weekend
Just please consent
I need a friend"

I admit your puberty was somewhat strange
Could this be fixed with Mary Jane?
Mary Jane Mary Jane Mary Jane Who?

Then I said, Son you want to permeate
And discover the realms of the unknown
With Mary Jane
After all the other boys that are your age
They only wake to medicate

Do I know her family?
Is she even mannerly when she's out in society?
"She even bakes"
She even bakes?
"These odd brownies"
Mary Jane Mary Jane Mary Jane Who?

Then he said, "I believe in her family,
On her maternal side there was a
Dr. Tetrahydrocannabinol Pure Isomer Dronabinol
Mary Jane Who.

Starling you were right I am the jealous kind
whoever would have guessed
Starling now I am shut out and confined
even within my nest

what, what does it take to make it through another day
if a feather lined with his words becomes a blade

Starling when he screams he screams in black and white
just like the magpie
shattered night then I woke
not to a lonely lark but to a raven's cry

If a feather lined with his words becomes a blade
then what, what will it take to make it through another day

so when they play, play the song
sing along
it may be your turn to shine
if you know the lines
hey what's that you say
"You can find, find him online
most of the time these days"
"Is that right," I say.

you were right Starling

. . .


How can I be drunk?
You strike with dry poison
I am possessed
Still engaged in some kind of advanced shackling

Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Bad Medicine
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Good Medicine would say ---

You got you a Fast horse darlin'
But all you do is complain it ain't
a maserati.
You had a soul that you left back in Memphis
but your mama ain't New York she is pure
Tennessee

On a desrt High-way
I am struck by my own rage
Time-bomb in his palm a finger-apple
augments this advanced shackling

Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Bad Medicine
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Good Medicine would say ---

You got you a Fast horse darlin'
but all you do is complain it ain't
a maserati.
You had a soul that you left back in Memphis
but your mama ain't New York she is pure
can't you see your mama ain't New York
she is pure Tennessee
Tennessee

. . .


Ophelia your secret is safe
Ophelia you must break the chain
some girls will get their way
some fathers will control from the grave
Ophelia you must remember

Veronica's America is not like--
is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
cosmic flavor
then Alison whispers, "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
waiting for you to send her away
wish her well break the chain
break the chain"
I feel you

Ophelia
"The Eve of St. Agnes",
a poem he can't reach you in
Ophelia you know how to lose
but when will you learn to choose
those men who choose to stay
those mothers who won't look the other way
Ophelia you must remember

Veronica's America is not like ---
is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
cosmic flavor
then Alison whispers, "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
waiting for you to send her away
wish her well break the chain
break the chain"
I feel you
Ophelia

Cigarettes recommended
"Need a Light to use?"
said the Lady in Blue after the rain
What is left?
What is right... you may understand,
I left the right man.
said the Lady in Blue,
"I left the right man."

Boys play well into midnight
"Can I join you?"
said the Lady in Blue after the rain

"Pillow cold, but She won't stray into other lands," he said,
"Take my hand," to the Lady in Blue,
"You wronged the right man."
