A Little Wonder A Little Wonder -------------------- The sound of a thousand fish in the sea all swimming toward you and me begging us to swim with them and be a little safer with water - now sit quietly. Towering over our valley Concentration is good for the soul. These are not the final words of a dying man Back to Top Beginning With You Here ------------------------- Have I been walking alone for this? Have I been walking these hundred miles for nothing other than a few damn smiles? They'll never be good for anything. And the city's been changing the lights for some fifteen years... And the road outside is always cold; The writing on the wall will never get old; I'm sick and tired of waiting around for this. Has everything else passed on but us? Where are the signs of the way that things are supposed to be? No one knows - we'll know - just wait and see... I think that everything else is gone. And the city's been changing its ways for some fifteen years... Where are the reds and the bubbles and the trees and the others from yesterday? I never noticed that the ones we always hated are standing in a heaven's way. Back to Top Casual Sex ---------- Going to some show tonight looking for myself in the mirror; Hoping I won't cause a fright - the show is near and getting nearer. My clothes are trash and my hair is fried Oooh, you're never coming down to me from heaven. I'm in the crowd at the show tonight Oooh, you're never coming down to me from heaven. I drove her back to my trailer trash; Oooh, you're never coming down to me from heaven. Back to Top Charismatic Charm -------------- Unwilling lines forming behind the days; Sadly to say, we'll feel it always. And when the moon comes we'll just play away, Searching in vain for something better to say. On a Saturday night just before the lights go off and the cameras flash, we learn who we are and what we're here for; we learn how to end it all with a crash. A crash - a stab in the back. A look - two looks and a light gone black. And with these things they can destroy me, and with those darts - a bill for coffee. Just please don't worry. So now that we're rendered pointless, and now that those days are getting more and more missed, we tell ourselves it won't hurt long; we soothe our minds with a sad song. A song of another's pain. We long, we long to be thought sane. But, alas, we can't control this; and, alas, we won't be missed, so help yourself to another kiss - that cheek's a thief and holds no special gift. So now that we're rendered pointless, and now that those days are getting more and more missed, we learn who we are and what we're here for; we learn how to end it with a settled score. We construct better days for us to pray; we think that it's different outside the walls of this town. Don't speak with a mouth full of suede - you don't fool any one of us, it's just those better days keep making us live on for something outside our door; for something just a little more; I just wanted it all I guess. Back to Top Forgotten Melody ----------------- This day came a little too fast - where we used tolive. Your pretty picture's still hanging around - not toomuch to give. Flipped back, twisted upside down outside the in; stuck in a hole with nowhere to go - stop really quick. The men they always say - 'Go down to Canaan land,' Back to Top Little Billy ------------- The sea called the boy back day after day and on the dock he sat to watch the waves play. At school he told them of his future at sea and they laughed so he said, 'Just wait it will be.' Moon after moon and sun after sun, he waited for that day - he knew it would come. Little Billy was falling in love. So a day came when the wind was real smooth Little Billy was now in love. Day after day and night after night, Little Billy fell into the sea. Back to Top Mind Made Cures -------------------- 'Lead us on,' says the moon Mind made cures can be everywhere. A scream can be the meaning of everything; The mind made cures won't leave you alone And so the ravens comin' down... When the night drops around us, Mind made cures won't cure you of anything; Back to Top Miracle Camikini ----------------- Watching Buddha planting trees; trees that sway in the wind-blown breeze; breeze from the valley below - below to church where the hookers go. Miracle Camikini Watching Ghandi fixing dinner; Miracle Camikini Back to Top Ode to an Indian She can write my windy "I love flowers in my hair; See how she can care less She wants to be She is gorgeous like a star She can sign my sadness "I like moonbeams and earth; She hopes to be If she can save one person If she can save one person Back to Top The Smokes -------------------- the world is a fast car bribing you to stay on the highway but you don't care about all that and the uptakes and stay lates. you're content here all alone and you'll never change the books and the doors from your bedroom. You won't budge just to settle some stupid score. (at least not with her) now you will never see the light of day. just because you're moving around (things are changed) follow me into nod. Back to Top Two Days from Sorrow --------------------- Years they pass by nobody knows why mother told me to let go... I let go. Ghosts and dolls they pass the day away to go off somewhere nobody knows... but I know. Jesters and clowns kingdom goes up; down passage of the smiles what are these trials? they're just gone. 'Who goes where?' - why ask why? Once I thought I knew it 'Where goes time?' - who asks that? |
