Dig Me As I Am

If I were a lawman
Strawman
Holy man
If I were the wrong man
On the run
Dig me as I am, man
Fireman
Trash can
Meet in the Dark Land
That’s my home
Aah
(I don’t need it)
Aah
(I don’t want it)
Aah
(I’m unaware)
Aah
(Goodbye)
Read it in a postcard
Coast Guard
Church yard
Send it in the post
I can’t leave home
Aah
(Leave a number)
Aah
(Leave your name)
Aah
(I won’t get back)
Aah
(Until next year)

What do I have to say?
Is there anything I can do?
Do I have to punch a clock?
Do I have to tick your tock?
Well done you
You sure showed them
And all it cost you was life
Where do I gotta go
To find me some peace of mind?
Who do I have to sue
To get my piece of pie?
It flies in the face of reason
To make a body choose
There ain’t no choice at all
There ain’t nothin to lose
Well done you
You made the grade
And all it cost you was time
When will you ever learn
To bust through the facade?
Thought you were born to burn
Thought you looked just like god
Thought you were the voice of reason
You’ve abandoned reason now
You let the madness in
You’ll have to show me how
(Like this)
Yeah!

Another summer gone
The rain that waters the lawn
The lawn that shelters the toad
The toad that lives on barley
The toad that lives on barley
Then on a winter’s night
Another nail to bite
Another day to dream
The mold that grows on Harvey
The mold that grows on Harvey
We know living is a miracle
It’s all we know
It’s all we know
They say everything’s a miracle
It’s all they say
It’s all they know
It’s all they know
A cupboard full of noise
Another pile of toys
To keep away the storm
The storm that rolls on softly
The storm that rolls on softly
The storm that rolls on softly
We know living is a miracle
It’s all we know
It’s all we know
We know nothing is a miracle
It’s all explained
It’s all we know
We know nothing is a miracle
Miracle… Miracle
We know nothing is a miracle (It’s digital)
Miracle (Our ritual)
Miracle
(How mystical)

Reflect On Your Nectar
05:20
|
|||
|
Prepare to meet thine inspector
You must be the connector
You must reflect on your nectar
Whip it into soft peaks
You’ve got to lay it down all evenin’
And give yourself every reason
After all it’s the seasonin’
That makes it so sweet
As I was tending my sweaters
To resurrect my deflectors
I saw the hole thing was better
With your head on my sleeve
And I may play like a boomer
I might go down with a tumor
When your whole life is a rumor
In the end it must be
Prepare to meet thine inspector
You must be the connector
You must reflect on your nectar
Whip it into soft peaks
You’ve got to lay it down all evenin’
And give yourself every reason
After all it’s the seasonin’
That makes life so sweet
That makes life so sweet
That makes love so sweet
That makes life so sweet

Kevin Help Us
06:20
|
|||
|
There he is
What shall we do?
All in the sundry hours
Blue marimba
Chinese tattoo
Something else gives me pause
Please believe me
I really do
Nothing you say can stop me
If it’s true
Or not
Kevin help me
Fuss and bother
Tampered to death
Even the cat is weeping
“Paranoia”
Under your breath
Every time you’re sleeping
Please believe me
Don’t be a fool
Nothing you say can save you
If you’re cool
Or not
Kevin help us
Take it easy
Make it soft
Yesterday’s girls are leaving
Wood and lightning
Raise it aloft
Nothing we do is easy
Hold the axe
Close to your chin
Nothing you play will thrill me
If it’s in
Or out
Kevin help you
Otherwise
Only a wise man could say
Honestly
I’m just a phone call away
You and me
Have always something in store
Wont you open the door to a friend?

Trapped Inside a Head
05:51
|
|||
|
If I’m living
Trapped inside a head
I could be forgiven
For feeling alone
And if I’m stuck behind a face
I might try to replace myself
My mind is on my mind
But no one’s listening
They have no ears
An eye within an eye
Fear within fear
If I’m living
Trapped inside a head
I could be forgiven
For feeling alone
If we’re living
All connected underground
We might give in
To another sound
And if I’m stuck behind a face
I might try to replace myself
My mind is on my mind
But no one wants it
They’re not for real
An eye within an eye
A wheel within a wheel
Yeah

Ylang Ylang
03:39

Cananga odorata
Ylang ylang
Perfume custard tree
Vetiver and almond
Arsenic for tea
Flower of flowers
Hills of ambergris
And though I have no eyeballs
I smell that I may see
Blood on a doorknob
Ylang ylang
Syrup on a key
Moss grown on a sundial
What is and what will be
Sweat of desperation
Tears of ecstasy
The stench of human nature
Kaleidoscope for me
Jasmine in bloom
Ylang ylang
Angels trumpet tea
Mirrors in the darkness
Candles in the sea
Purple admiration
Yellow jealousy
Chasing down a rainbow
Is all life seems to be
All life seems to be

Disarray

Desiree
Now it’s in disarray
Peach as a sour queen
Tangled in tangerine
Yesterday
I felt like a lucky guy
Now it’s gone awry
We really miss you
Really miss you
Really miss you
Aah
We really miss you
Really miss you
Aah
Aah
Aah
Desiree
Now it’s in disarray
Keen as a gleaming ray
A star in a velvet cage
Desert rain
On mountains a mile away
That’s where you must go
