C'monna, y'wanna, surely gonna make it a try
Chiquita, I needa, cut me off a piece of ya...
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Smoking and poking, changing in the blink of an eye
Fly high by my window at night...
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Lately a message talks about a place in the world
Little by little the mystery begins to uncurl
Snakey's awakey and he wants a little piece o' the pie
C'monna, y'wanna, surely this'll cause you to die
C'mon over here, take this and stick it down your throat
Hope you don't choke on it
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs
Attacked by monsters
Kissing dogs

One afternoon as dusk was nearing
I saw something I thought worth hearing
Something that's been around so long
Now listen to my new year's song
Who ever made up the calendar was wrong
It's new years all year long
Each year is a minute
Only full of the leaves in it
Now Daddy said this to his son
I know for sure this can be done
We'll cover up our tracks and then
Walk back the other way again
Who ever made up the calendar was wrong
It's new years all year long
Each year is a minute
Only full of the leaves in it
One day in a forest clearing
I saw different things appearing
And now it's been around so long
Now listen to my new years song


. . .


it's out of wire
it's undergrown
it's out of line
it's just a question
of what you know
meltdown'
too good, too real
five aces, a square deal
meltdown'
it's what it is, n what it's not--
and all in all
it's just a question
of what you got
meltdown'

Give me lots of money
A house upon a hill
Send me pretty women
Or threaten me and still
I'll come up to your house
And attempt to fix your sink
Do a mediocre job
As I'm leaving you will think
If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I will not answer when you call
If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I can't be counted on at all
My eye is on the pork
The pork is in the pan
If something needs a'doing
Well you know I'm not your man
If you're counting on me
You know I'll let you down
You can't be counting on me
Cause you know I'm just a clown

The Void

[No lyrics]

. . .


he's got a kind of stupefieying attitude
you almost see those little wing shoes
like a tight, almost shining through the air
he's a touchdown king
the air is energy whenever he's around
with bolts of lightning from the ground
like the wind almost flying thru the air
he's a touchdown king
he's had some hard breaks on the wrong side of the line
time and time again he's out of time
like a light almost shining through the air
he's a touchdown king

. . .



Laughing gold carried on silver
Open robe waving by the trailer
This is paradise
Ivory whales high on corn bread
Wind-filled sails, fly to the door step
This is paradise
He little girl, hey young lady
I'm not wrong, don't say maybe
This is paradise
Out at night, gazing at the heavens
Hold on tight, hold on eleven
This is paradise

Flight of the Fire Weasel

[No lyrics]

. . .


I see it, I get it, to find it below
you know me, your fire, but I can't let go
in silence
through canyons
of motion
we start
beyond us these motions
emerge from the dark
now I'm tied up in circles
so I won't fall apart
tied up and tangled
strings on your heart
it's clouded in mystery surrounding your heart
it stumbles to finish before it can start
in silence, through canyons of motion we start
beyond us these motions emerge from the dark

. . .



Fiery spider
Candy stars in bloom
Crystal fire fractures
Sparks into the room
Shadow seams have opened
Right inside the blaze to
Catch the spinning
Light...
Flaming river
Burning in the sky
Falls in silence
Over land to dry
Gathering the elephants
Turning light to day
Beneath the current
Light...
Luminescence
Essence of the will
Time and fire
Turning burning still
Upon the hour table
Dreams of light are laid
But I'm not sleeping
Light...
MELTDOWN
It's out of wire
It's undergrown
It's out of line
It's just a question
Of what you know
Meltdown...
Too good, too real
Five aces, a square deal
Meltdown...
It's what it is
N' what it's not
And all in all
It's just a question
Of what you got
Meltdown...
