Everything in its place

Idle flow
I've been running too slow
I use so much time
Now I'm working to grow
Don't regret our ties
This endless flow
You take these fears
When you say they go

Your touch honey- smooth
Your shining calm
So what if blood's spilt
You're my light you're my balm

Your forest a dream
Where scream melt to bliss
Where love has it's book
Your name written on it

I'm asking you're giving
Idle flow
I'm running you're waiting
So what if bloods spilt
Idle flow
Idle flow
I'm asking you're giving
Idle flow



. . .


Open my eyes
But they're not mine
I'm looking from you
As you
Neither there at the same time

Oh, it's easy to say
In a few smart ways
I am you
And you are me

It's just easy to say
It's just easy to say

CHORUS
And I'll throw you pearls
While I kiss myself
And I'll throw you pearls
While I kiss myself
And I'll throw you pearls
While I kiss myself
And I'll throw you pearls

(Bop bop-bop ba-oo)
(Bop bop)
(Bop bop-bop ba-oo)

Head trips to nowhere
Seeing the fire, but not in it
Yes, that joy (yes, that joy)
Love is tapped
Are you afraid of love?
Of being yourself
Forget the silence
Get in the crowd
Don't stand out
Stand in (stand in)

And see yourself
And I'll throw you pearls

CHORUS

(Bop bop-bop ba-oo)
(Bop bop)
And I'll throw you pearls
(Bop bop-bop ba-oo)
(Bop bop)
While I kiss myself
(Bop bop-bop ba-oo)
(Bop bop)
And I'll throw you pearls
(Bop bop-bop ba-oo)
While I kiss myself
(Bop bop)

. . .


(Oo)
(Oo)
(Oo)
(Oo)

I don't want to be a part
Of a second part
But while I'm in it
I'm keeping out of it
I don't want to be
I should be able to see
A seal of man
And then sometimes I don't

CHORUS
I'll be a piece of you then
So that I'll see you in them
I'll howl at the Moon
With a song to swoon (oo)
I'll crawl like a fly (oo)
And if I have to I'll die (oo)
Give me a piece (oo)
Of a blissed release

I'm a formula one start
I'm the wheel and the cart
And I'll be a part of you
When I'll see you

CHORUS

(Oo)
I'll be a piece of you then (oo)
(Oo)
A piece of you then (oo)
So that I'll see you in them (oo)
A piece of you then (oo)
I'll see you in them (oo)
So that I'll see you in them (oo)
So that I'll see you in them (oo)
A piece of you then (oo)
I'll see you in them (oo)
A piece of you then (oo)
I'll see you in them (oo)

I looked at all the women
Checking out their features
One walked a fine line
While the others drew it
One's lips came close
One finger tripped it
One glistened in the Sun
But none were coming from it

I threw a look
I faced the Moon
Asked the maker
"Where were you?"
I threw a look
Faced the Moon
"Where were you?"

As rivers run
And moonlight shines
I'll catch her in the mirror
And in a our land that time forgot
We will catch them close
One finger tripped it
One glistening the Sun
Then you were coming from it

You threw the look
I faced the Moon
Asked the maker
"Where were you?"
We threw the look
Faced the Moon
Then there was you

As rivers run
And moonlight shines
I'll catch her in the mirror
And in a our land that time forgot
We will catch them close
One finger tripped it
One glistening in the Sun
A new world coming from it

I threw the look
We faced the Moon
Asked the maker
"Where were you?"
We threw the look
I faced the Moon
Where were you?

As rivers run (as rivers run)
And moonlight shines (I'll catch her in the mirror)
I'll catch her in the mirror (and in a our land that time forgot)
And in a our land that time forgot (we will catch them close)
We will catch them close
And glisten (with it) with it

I threw the look
We faced the Moon
Asked the maker
"Where were you?"
We threw the look
I faced the Moon
Where were you?

We threw the look
Faced the Moon
Where were you?

As rivers run
And moonlight shines
I faced the Moon

Save me, save me, make me true
Turn, turn, let me through
Nothing's hard and nothing's to be gained
Without you

Leave us always looking in the now
Not loosing, looking for it
Not loosing, looking for You
Guide us always

(Are you alright?)

Save me, save me
Say, "you do"
Even as the bird flies
Out in the blue
Out of the blue
Nothing's hard and nothings gained
Without you

. . .


Fragments spinning in the waves
The sea is dreaming of shining caves
A drop of petal rings the bell
In the corner of Heaven of my Little Nell

Words from the vine and essence flow
A teardrop turns in its fall to a glow
And Thelma sings her sing song show
To the mother that lost her before she did grow

VERSE 3
And her wintered feet now shim and shine
As she sings from one to ninety-nine
And her wintered feet now shim and shine
As she sings from one to ninety-nine

(Oo, mm)
(Oo, mm)

VERSE 3

The story's still in the works
The players fishing ideas
Walking in the air
The church of Irene

Stands like a warehouse
With love's spirit out in the cold
Out in the cold
Tonight

The actions disappear
And let the love's spirit in
The fear inside my head
Is just a resistance to

The weight of love
The weight of love
The weight of love
The weight of love

The theater with no name
Calls a welcome in
And music fills the cracks
No shadows whispering

(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love) the weight of love
(Weight of love)
(Weight of love)
(Weight of love)
(Weight of love) the weight of love

Xavier new boy loves Venus the cat
But he's locked up in a whirlpool
The crowds see him
All complicated no shine
If they saw with their inner
They'd see a man bigger than kind
So much bigger than kind
Bigger than kind

Pray that he makes it
Pray that he makes it
Pray that he makes it
Pray that he makes it

Sets himself up
He's the target, its own shot
He's got to learn to relax, man
Give what he's got
He's diggin his own river bed
When it's hot out, he's a shiver
Looking for the water of life
He needs that water in his river

It's a shame he can't give
Give what he's got
He's got to learn to relax, man
Give the world a shot
Looking for the next world
It's a natural thirst
But the next world is made up
Of what you make of this one first

Pray that he makes it
Pray that he makes it
Pray that he makes it
Pray that he makes it

. . .


Love it when you tilt me
Take me tip toe in the sky
Take me racing with the dolphins
You got me blinded like Saul
Blinded like Saul
A sky clear lit
You're the square that fits the circle
You're in every lucky dip

Uneven and brittle
Is there fruit on our tree?
Is my faith just material
Did you just imagine me?

Did you just imagine me? (drink me like your river)
Did you just imagine me? (drink me like your river)
Me (drink me like your river)
Did you just imagine me? (drink me like your river)

Take me racing with the dolphins
Take me running down the hall
You got me drinking from your river
You got me blinded like Saul
Blinded like Saul
Oh, my sacred mine
Take me racing with the dolphins
Run me out of time

Her loving care notions
Retract as they break
Are there rules in her book?
Is her future at stake?

Did she just imagine me? (drink me like your river)
Did she just imagine me? (drink me like your river)
Did she just imagine? (drink me like your river)
Did she just imagine me? (drink me like your river)

Drink me like your river
Drink me like your river
Drink me like your river
Drink me like your river
Drink me like your river
Drink me like your river

. . .


My white visions continue
This younger skin's outgrown old ways
Given what I need
I'm listening to how the silent sway

Still there'll be poison pens
And that pick of bones
Still a stand to cast
The first stone
Still there'll be poison pens
And that pick of old bones
Still a stand to cast
The first stone

(The first stone)

Check the day out
The human race is doing time
Locked in some flimsy cage
Made of the stuff of the free will kind

Hear my heart smash
My self made throne
Hoping not to cast
The first stone
Hear my heart smash
My self made throne
Hoping not to cast
The first stone

(The first stone)
(The first stone)
(The first stone)

Hear my heart smash
My self made throne
I promise not to cast
The first stone
Oh
The first stone

. . .


Four skies in one night
The earth from your face
It takes one
It takes two
It takes three to make a bird
Fly from that blossom tree
The earth from your face
From your eyes
Looks like a groovy place
Keeps me smiling like a child
Like a child
Like a child
Like a child

Well, it came as no surprise
Love was in your eyes
It was evident to me
That I came to you
Unable to really be
Then there was you

CHORUS
The dolphin keeper lets us sail
In through our love's initial veil
The simple love I give to you
Is breaking no one's heaven

CHORUS

It's a piece of truth

Your clothes are altered
To twist me inside
I'm hanging sweet and kind
And I've seen my twisted light
Unshatter

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

It's a piece of truth
It's a piece of truth
