Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things Never meant that much to me Heard a lot of talk about my spirit Heard a lot of talk about my soul But I decided that anxiety and pain Were better friends So I let it go Did you let it go? Let's get it back Let's get it back together Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus A man of love, and a man of strength But what a man was two thousand years ago means nothing at all to me today He could have been telling me about my higher self But he only lives inside my prayer So what he was may have been beautiful But the pain is right now And right here Let it go! Let it go! Let it go, my friend And let's get it back Let's get it back together |

You say "Hold on to the reigns"
I say "Let them go tonight" My brain waves Confused between what is and ain't She cries "Groundless and free" Tired of the water Tired of the wine Tired of the future Tired of time Tired of the madness Tired of the steel Tired of the violence Tired of me Used steel Used steel am I What was pliable in love Is now hard and crystallized The intellect is fine For counting money And recalling times That she cried, "Groundless and free" Hope is a letter that never arrives Delivered by the postman of my fear |

The world is burning down
Can't you smell the smoke in the air? War, disease, and famine This demon, she is everywhere Poets and preachers and politicians They've all had their say And we got 10,000 years Devoted to nothing But tomorrow and yesterday If all of the ignorance in the world Passes a second ago What would you say? Who would you obey? I am here to say that Peace is now Mr. President I hereby pardon you of all your crimes For they are just as much mine Selfishness and separation have led me To believe that the world is not my problem The world is not my problem I am the world And you are the world If all of the ignorance in the world Passes a second ago What would you say? Who would you obey? I am here to say that Peace is now |

when all that's left to do is
reflect on what's been done this is where sadness breaths the sadness of everyone just like when the guys built the dam at otter creek and all the water backed up deep enough to dive we took the dead man in sheets to the river flanked by love deep enough to dive deep enough to dive be here now we took him there and three in a stretcher made from trees that had passed in the storm leave the hearse behind to leave the curse be here now |

It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before She's like my destiny calling And she's lying there all naked on the floor And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'... Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain tonight She came without warning like an angel come from heaven in the night (in the night) the kiss makes me tremble so she pulls me close and holds me oh so tight. And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'... Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain I give you life (ooohhh) I'll give you life, baby (oooh) I'll give you love Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain la dah dah dah la dah dah dah dah |

My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool Somehow this dimestore ring still shines like a diamond to you Oh, how it deepens Oh, how it deepens Your mystery Keeps on turnin' me on Your mystery Thought I knew the rules Thought I held it in my hands Thought I was bulletproof 'til the blood pooled up in the sand Are you a satellite? A shooting star or a dove? Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above? Oh, how it deepens Oh, how it deepens Your mystery Keeps on turnin' me on Your mystery Burns me up like the sun Your mystery Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man And the fear is like a fallen bridge A broken promise And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see Your mystery Keeps on turnin' me on! (Heaven is one so why believe when you can see it for yourself) |

Fighting for you, fighting for me You can see it on our faces Like the bullets leave traces You can feel it for real You can't imagine the pain of my baby so far away So far from my home... When they comin' home? When they leavin' that place? To see their lovers face again Kid will see his daddy's face again When they comin' home? Oh shed some grace! To see their lovers face again Kid will see his daddy's face again I'm a soldier on the field Waiting to die, praying to live To survive one more day But my hope begins to fray It's my flesh against the steel You'll never know what I've known You'll never see what I've seen I hope we make it home... When they comin' home? When they leavin' that place? To see their lovers face again Kid will see his daddy's face again When they comin' home? Oh shed some grace! Put your peace in the valley tonight Bring the soldier home alright When they coming' home? Oh, when they leavin' that place? To see their lovers face again Kid will see his daddy's face again So far from home She cries, politics aside What I'd give to have him here tonight When they comin' home? When they leavin' that place? To see their lovers face again Kid will see his daddy's face again When they comin' home? Oh shed some grace! Put your peace in the valley tonight Bring the soldier home alright When they coming' home? Oh, children playing in the sun? To see their lovers face again Kid will see his daddy's face again When they comin' home? Oh, Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home Put your peace in the valley tonight Bring the soldier home alright When they coming' home? Oh, children playing in the sun?

I talk of freedom
you talk of the flag I talk of revolution you'd much rather brag and as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse continue to dampen the day the coin flips again and again, and again, and again as our sanity walks away all this discussion though politically correct is dead beyond destruction though it leaves me quite erect and as the final sunset rolls behind the earth and the clock is finally dead I'll look at you, you'll look at me and we'll cry a lot but this will be what we said this will be what we said Look where all this talking got us, baby. |

Yet I have often paid the price And you You are a victim of this age And the guilt that hangs around your neck Has got me locked up in the cage Ypu've to To learn to live until no end But first you must learn to swim All over again Because...... *Pain lies on the riverside And pain will never say good-bye Pain lies on the riverside So put you feet in the water Put you head in the water Put you soul in the water And join me for a swim tonight I have forever Always tried To stay clean and constantly baptized I am aware that the river's bank are dry And to wait for a flood is to wait for life I've got to learn to live until no end But first i must learn to swim All over again Because.....

in the presence of my knuckles but the beauty of this vision alone just like yesterday's sunset has been perverted by the sentimental and mistaken for love the felix of your truth will always break it and the iris of your eye will always shake it and the armies, the armies I have created will always hate it will always bait you on I liked the way my hand looked on your head in the presence of my struggle but the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet it keeps invading all my private moments listen to me now |

I'll be clutchin' on a megaphone pointed at my head, would you be there, would you kindly, read this word for word so loud and clear, I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you, if the feeling drops out of your voice, would you kindly pick it up this is how, I'll go out tonight dressed in blue, by the book tonight this is how, I'll go out tonight but I don't need a book. we're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're talkin' seas, we're talkin' everything you need you should be workin' now, not only askin' how and the whereabouts of where you'll be. I don't suspect you will be thinking when the brain is dead and the mind has taken over, this is a skill, this is not a game, where have you been, are you with us? can you hear us? got the megaphone pointed at you |

Bring back that 'hair-down', unguarded mystery
I liked it better when your tightrope walked on me Board up my window, prepare for a hurricane You have a way of breaking through my barricade You give me all-new games to play You set me soul free Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold She set my soul free She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you Was my intention to take control again? Somehow you got me on the ropes of my own plan To turn up the volume and make you dance for me Release some pressure so that I can turn and see Spirit manifests as 'She' You set me soul free (you set my soul free) Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold She set my soul free (she set my soul free) She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you Like a flower I can see but I can't feel Oh yeah And nothing that you do could ever make me run, run away from you I never knew, I never knew she could She set my soul free (she set my soul free) Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold She set my soul free (she set my soul free) She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you |

Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream I was seventeen Give up my house, sleep for nights on concrete Meditate with all the bums on Vine Street No more running, no more hiding in the house of the dead I think I'll grow some dreads I believe in the sanctity of dreams No more running from these masqueraders I believe that society will never dream like me I dream of loving, of the empty graveyard I dream of Vegas and the transcendental wildcard A place where noone waits to die before they go into the light And just the blind have sight I follow nothing but the compass of my instinct No matter where it leads, I know it will take me to the brink And leave me there by myself and all alone with my dreams Can you hear my scream? I believe in the sanctity of dreams No more running from these masqueraders I believe that society will never dream like me Never dream like me Society will never dream like me Never dream like me Ooh ooh ooh I believe in the sanctity of dreams No more running from these masqueraders I believe that society will never dream like me Oh-oh I believe in the sanctity of dreams No more running from these masqueraders I believe that society will never dream like me Never dream like me Society Society will never dream like me Society Society Society will never dream like me |

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend," she said
And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love I need your blissful touch to carry me away again So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just... Run away, run away tonight It aint no victory, but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right We can just run away, run away tonight It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right "Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend," she said I'm like a posse that's been ridin' for days I've got the scars to prove that love has had its day and it's way with me So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just... Run away, run away tonight It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right We can just run away, run away tonight It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right This ain't no night to be on your own You've got to know where you're coming from To know just where you're goin', lord You've got to know where you're coming from This ain't no night to be on your own Run away, run away tonight It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right We can just run away, run away tonight It aint no victory but I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care Run away Run away Run away |

In the country
the farms and the orchards swell with oranges and peaches a little bit of truth as well In the city polititians beat their drum all the suits come runnin it's all denegeration Life marches on life marches on life marches on In the country everybody thinks we're dumb but we've built the fire why'd you come and get you some? In the city skycrapers touch the sky what's the use of being so high up when it's only going to bleed you dry Life marches on, life marches on life marches on In the country stars shine brighter than in the city in the country in the country In the city I turn on the radio only leave me down with the question what happened to our generation Life marches on (7) |
