It's not you it's what you do to me, to make me feel, the way I feel inside, my head again to night. I'm just a man that can't control the heart that beats inside his chest, but Oh, I'm thankful that I have one. I'm all but certain all the fluids, that occupy my brain, are bubbling like a sewer when it rains. Some call it love I call it other drugs, I'll rig myself for you, then I'll shoot you up and smile, I'm not lovesick anymore. You were over by the western sea, you hand that lipstick straight to me, Needle point sting like an angry bee I'll follow those tracks to the western sea. You'll See. Dancing in the summer soft kisses in the rain it's another day, another day, another day, another day. Break apart and piece together everything you said to me. Lies after lies after lies after travesty. You were over by the western sea, you hand that lipstick straight to me, Needle point sting like an angry bee I'll follow those tracks to the western sea. You'll See. Feelin' like the winters coming everyday, everyday. Lookin' like it's comin' real fast like a freight train. If you were think'n I was missing you then you were right. All I wanna do is hold your hand in the moonlight. My lonely head at night, (is) Drowning in your lakeside. My lonely head at night (is) drowning in your lakeside (but) I will always love you, I Won't ever leave. I will always love you, I Wont Ever (Leave You)

Walk Run 03:35
In the bewitching hours I feel you, well inside my bones. Gripping to the soul You've come to know. But I don't ever want to wake, In another blood-soaked room, Singing now my friends are dead, and i guess I'm coming soon. Who are you to tell me who I am or what to do? Suits and ties, freak me out. Khaki slacks like heart attacks, Steal the souls of average jacks who see the green and can't look back. Family friends and favorite pens, Stupid shoes and cooing hens, Xanax bars and 9-5. Can you die if you're never alive? Who are you to tell me who I am or what to do? Walk run here we go, walk run here we go, walk run here we go, walk run.. now here we (go) Beautiful as sadness, Washing over me. Visceral the feelings, Drips from all the trees. Feeling is a sign that maybe it's just nice to be, Life is made of water, when I push it, it just comes right back to me Who are you to tell me who I am or what to do Walk run here we go, walk run here we go, walk run here we go, walk run.. now here we (go) Everyday is what you make. It's okay don't be afraid, Life is water, it's not glass, push it you will always come right back.

Looking out the window, staring at the pain. I'm in love with all the spiders, Let them carry me away. I said if you know in your heart then there's no reason to explain, don't let the riddles of the mind reflect the image on the page. When I leave, There is no guarantee you'll find me I'll be floating on a way amidst the helpless and the dying. Let me leave, so I can live extraordinarily and I'll always be a daimon, and I always be a diamond. Humans have the power to create gods, using words to express their wisdom, of greater being Cultural zeitgeist, Running off and getting married to the times, she's getting married to the times. Cultural zeitgeist, running off and getting married, to the time, she's getting married Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Open up your third eye Hoo Hah Wimba Wimba Way Ooooo Hoo Hah Wimba Wimba Way Ooooo Cultural zeitgeist, Running off and getting married to the times, she's getting married to the time. Cultural zeitgeists, running off and getting married, to the time, she's getting married The veil is all covered in her blood, she's been murdered by the times. What a crime! What a crime! Read about it in the times. All New York is in a tiff, but tomorrow they'll be fine, Mind you money equals time, Mind you money equals time Have you heard about the crime? Money equals Cultural zeitgeist, Running off and getting married to the times, she's getting married to the time. Cultural zeitgeists, running off and getting married, to the time, she's getting married Open Up Your Third Eye

Time in the garden, Turns into nothing. Apple of my eye, Turn into something. Under your blanket, Out in the freezing, always be easy, always be easy I've got a spirit, her name is grieving, always in excess, always deceiving I met an angel, She's made of diamonds, I've got an angel, she's made of diamonds. Under your blanket, out in the freezing, always be easy, always be easy I aint got no time, to listen to you whine, I've got a spirit to hold onto Opened up my eyes, to the mirror in my mind Opened up my eyes, to the mirror in my mind Under your blanket, out in the freezing, always be easy, always be easy. I aint got no time. To listen to you wine, I've got a spirit, to hold onto Oh, you are traversing, the memories I've long since left behind. Oh, you are traversing, the memories I've long since left behind (Cause) I aint got no time, to listen to you whine, I've got a spirit to hold onto.

Sometimes, I like, Stormy Weather. It seems to bring in the bigger waves, High tide, red sand, run away. Come now and chase down the hurricane. Big waves remind me of better days. My god resides in the lower sea. Sun dress, great thighs, golden hair. No care she takes care of me. Now I'm as high as a summer kite, Strung out about to be free, No shirt my shoes in the old van, Just me the gods and the sea. Surf away today baby. Surf Away with me. Surf away today baby. Tongue tied, eyes on the biggest wave, my life has led me to thee, feels like the waves gonna get me, now I will always be free. Surf away today baby. Surf Away with me. Surf away today baby.

Have you heard we're just a fragment of a morsel of a trace? Coexisting poorly in a lonely human race. Pity one who thinks the sun is watching over you, he's just handling his business, just like me and you, And the moon is always yelling at him, Why you always working in the day? CAn you ever take a break? It's a long way down, do you feel it, Now? Around around around around it goes, Am I turning into something, is this something I could know. Around around around around it goes, Am i turning into nothing, is it something I could know Around around around around it goes, Am I turning into nothing, if you love me let me go if you love me Someone's at the door but my clothes are on the floor Oh No! It's a long way down. Down in Tennessee, She said don't you live on me, We've got everything we need, and it's all right here. So don't you go on living on me, meet me out in Tennessee, you gon' find and you gon' see, all you really need is me Let that southern sun go shine again Let that southern sun gon' shine again Oh.
