You can run
but you'll never get away from the smell of the garbage
and theres crap on your shoes
and the smell of it is making you happy
and the seeds are expoding and the aphides are eating your garden
and they roll so confused and the thought of it really takes little

Fly like the wind
ride on and remember to sleep
nobody asked you
fly like the wind
ride on and remain on your knees before the rapen master

I'm right now
and I'm an upholster sparing the worlds of the future
and the mall of my choice I am shopping and making a purchase

Fly like the wind
ride on and remember to sleep
nobody asked you
fly like the wind
ride on and remain on your knees before the rapen master

You can run but you'll never get away from the smell of the garbage
and theres crap on your shoes
and the smell of it is making you happy

Fly like the wind
ride on and remember to sleep
nobody asked you
fly like the wind
ride on and remain on your knees before the rapen master (x4)


. . .



Maybe you think that you're nylon
you seem to say
you are children of the world
and maybe you think your an astronaut
from stars wide your honesty and your pearls
jokes are a greeting in your garden
from your side you say everything

And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise
And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise

Maybe you think its pornography
you seem to say
I'm the people of the world
and maybe you think you're a genius
retard of bloom
your banner is unfilled
now your selling the touch of your hand
how much salvation can my stomach stand

And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise
And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise

Maybe you think that you're nylon
you seem to say
you are children of the world
and maybe you think your an astronaut
from stars wide your honesty and your pearls
jokes are a greeting in your garden
from your side you say everything

And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise
And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise
And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise
And I think its common lie
Its on the rise
Its on the rise

I wanna be
I wanna be right out there
And watch it blow right out of the radio

I gotta be
I gotta be like something
And watch my face come out of the radio

Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen

A bell has gone
About to be half open
And watch it blow straight out of the radio

Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen

You gotta dream
About a thing or something
And let 'em all flies out of the radio

Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen

Never listen
Never listen
Never listen
Never listen

A bell has gone
About to be half open
A bell has gone
About to be half open

. . .



You could start
living in my eyes to long
anywhere
all and ever to no one

And they say theres a tiny kingdom not to far away
and they rate all the plastering and watch it melt away

Stupid start
you could sell it for ten stone
never mind
war became the sun

And they say theres a tiny kingdom not to far away
and they rate all the plastering and watch it melt away

you could start
living in my eyes to long

And they say theres a tiny kingdom not to far away
and they rate all the plastering and watch it melt away
And they say theres a tiny kingdom not to far away
and they rate all the plastering and watch it melt away
And they say theres a tiny kingdom not to far away
and they rate all the plastering and watch it melt away

I thought that it was over
these seem to be the days of wine
you've done as you please
were also relieved

I want to be a rainbow
layed across the stormy skys
you've done as you please
now down on your knees

Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away
Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away

You turned into a monster
I hope your new life turns alright
you've done as you please
were also relieved

Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away
Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away

Go is a better number
I'll do a better job for free
you've done as you please
now down on your knees

Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away
Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away
Theres a shower in the evening wind
I can feel it in my ear again
like a rabbit and a carrot fit
away

Once it seemed to be the way things are
now it seems the way that it will be
it's happening to me
it's happening to me

Once we use to love to lose our minds
now it seems the tables have been turned
my head is losing me
my head is losing me

Chorus:
Once we used to spit into the wind
it's coming back to me
we used to spit into the wind
it's coming back to me

Nothing rather rides a rusty mule
by a fire stop, the story tell
another one for free
I'm not listening to me

Chorus

(solo)

Chorus x3

Someday on the moonwalk everything was right
bounced on the onfloat history of life
somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
and it's good to see the happiness far

You're the grass
you're the trees
you're the thing that makes the wind
you're the roots of the sky
you're an island
you never move
you never sleep
you're the thought I cannot keep
you're a denessen of the deep
you're and island

Always in the neverglades
purple wings in five picture
golden eyes and I
somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
where it's coming from no one can ever tell

You're the grass
you're the trees
you're the thing that makes the wind
you're the roots of the sky
you're an island
you never move
you never sleep
you're the thought I cannot keep
you're a denessen of the deep
you're and island

Somewhere on the earth now everything is cool
drinking from the afterflow splash becomes a pool
somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
where it's coming from no one can ever tell

You're the grass
you're the trees
you're the thing that makes the wind
you're the roots of the sky
you're an island
you never move
you never sleep
you're the thought I cannot keep
you're a denessen of the deep
you're and island

you never move
you never sleep
you're the thought I cannot keep
you're a denessen of the deep
you're and island

You're the moon
you're the glass
down stone the donkeys ass
up above the heavens laugh
you're an island


. . .


Vultures circle the sky
Burning the ground from on high

Chorus:
Maybe I've been wasted
and maybe I'm amused
but mostly this just seems like a whole lot to lose
in such a small time
in such a small time

We killed it off before it could fly
hunted it down and then watched it die

Chorus

Vultures flying in code
burned the tongues from the road

Chorus2:
Maybe It's amazing
and maybe I'm confused
but mostly this just seems like a whole lot to lose
but mostly this just seems like a whole lot to lose
in such a small time
in such a small time

. . .



Try to hold it but it vanishes from my hand
try to swim and I end up on the cold sand
try to cut it but I cannot make the knife go
try to run but my legs are running too slow
so I wait for the wind
burn my head again

Million dollars dosen't buy you much of anything
cuz from nothing you can really feel a good spin
so I wait for the wind
burn my head again

And I will feel the rocks
when I am diving in

It's like a tail that wouln't be sewn
I don't see it
I don't see it
these eyes are really made of stone
I don't see it
I don't see it

Makes me dizzy but I always


. . .


Can't feel the time, the world has always seen a change
This song is my only one, it's a long and lonely one
And I write another one but this song is never done

Can't put it down, it doesn't need a thing
This song is my only one, it's long and lonely one
And I write another one but this song is never done

I write it down, it always please away
This song is my only one, it's a long and lonely one
And I write another one but this song is never done

This song is my only one, it's a long and lonely one
And I write another one but this song is never done

. . .


Back before the days, back before the water
The invisible waves slammed the primal notion
They said you were wrong, though you had connected
These watery songs cleverly perfected

Chorus:
Dispensary of predictable mind
like a new leaf, from the old days
unfolding now the most ridiculous mind
like a new leaf in the old ways

These slippery shoes never fit the sailor
all scattered and bruised since it left the railing
it wouldn't behave, bad at problem solving
so it couldn't be saved, all these things revolving

Chorus

Back before the days, back before the water
The invisible waves slapped the primal notion
they wouldn't behave, bad at problem solving
so it couldn't be saved, all these things revolving

Chorusx2

Chorus

. . .


Verse 1:
Right before the leaf as fat before the waters
The invisible leafs trashed by implotion
They said you were strong then you were addicting
Too water is cold still yet predicting

Chorus:
Dispencerly of redicerly life
By the new leaf and the old leaf
Unfloding now from this rediculice mind
By the new leaf from the old leafs

Verse 2:
These slippery shoes never fit the sailer
All skatterd and loose since they were created
They wouldn't behave and bad at problem solving
So they couldn't be saved from old mistakes and hovern

Chorus:
Dispencerly of redicerly life
By the new leaf and the old leaf
Unfloding now from this rediculice mind
By the new leaf from the old leafs

Verse 3:
Out before the leaf is out where its revolving
New different leafs the ocean was dissolving
Knew it wouldn't behave so it became dependent
Never fit her between her soul legit or dependent

Chorus: x2

Dispencerly of redicerly life
By the new leaf and the old leaf
Unfloding now from this rediculice mind
By the new leaf from the old leafs

The Ship

[No lyrics]

. . .


How could they be in the sea, the fence across the smokey field
and here inside these raging roads, these deformed fires have been defused
all across the faceless plain the winds have grown to feed the flame
and here beside this flowery pond the snakes have come to feed upon

Bridge:
and the wind blew away in fear
and the smoke blew from here to here

Chorus:
(The)Ice is on the vine
smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire
x2

How could they begin to see the smoke across the stokey tree
and here inside the faceless plain the winds have blown to feed the flame
Drag into this flowery pond the snakes have come to feed upon
beneath the limbs and giant leaves the storm is raging on unseen

Bridge

Chorus

Drag into this flowery pond the snakes have come to feed upon
beneath the limbs and giant leaves the storm is raging on unseen

Bridge

Chorus x5

Ice on Fire x3

. . .


I stand to praise You
But I fall on my knees
My spirit is willing
But my flesh is so weak

Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I've been
(where I've been)
So light the fire
in my heart again

I feel Your arms around me
As the power of
Your healing begins
Your spirit moves through me
Like a mighty rushing wind

Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I've been
(where I've been)
So light the fire
in my heart again

Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I've been
(where I've been)
So light the fire
in my heart again

light the fire in my heart again
light the fire in my heart again
