Th’ Threads that run thru yr life Hang from yr sleeve Wind thru yr soul Th’ kind you can’t control Th’ kind you can’t conceive Th’ kind you can’t believe But wish you could break Wish you could weave I Wish you could see It ties you to me
An’ you fly in th’ face of the sun An’ you float in th’ tides of th’ moon
Th’ paths that run from your door Climb thru th’ trees Wind like a snake Th’ kind you can’t escape Th’ kind you can’t conceive Th’ kind you can’t believe With prickly little thorns Sharp tiny teeth They’re hungry for th’ threads Hanging from yr sleeve Waiting on a path Th’ kind you can’t conceive But wish you could take Wish you could leave I wish you could see It leads you to me
What explodes like a fractal Pops like a lite bulb Looks really awful At four in the morning Moves with a dead stare Coils around your ankles Fangs long as neckties And strike without warning
What implodes like a Zeppelin Cracks like pavement Smokes in the basement And knows when yer lying Comes to a dead stop Forgives you like Jesus Cold as a windchill With eyes like Abe Lincoln
What is dark like a birthmark Pulls like a magnet Male and female And covets like a dragon Grows to a shark length Contracts to amoeba Lives in your soul And loves you like I do
What appears like an angel Stabs like a dagger Fills you with lite And bleeds you of matter Comes to a dead stop Forgives you like Jesus Hands you a love only Found in the Vedas
What explodes like a fractal Pops like a lite bulb Strolls in like Joel Gray At four in the morning Armed with a big nose Fragile like a sea horse Lives in your soul And loves you like I do
A year is just a drop in time, it cannot touch th’ female form in my bed She is just a friend of mine, In th’ dark she knows th’ touch of my hand
Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunshine lite in yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there
Her words profane, her mouth divine, I tried to sympathize with both sides But I was caught, like a fleeting thought, stuck inside of Leonard Cohen’s mind
We met on a beach in Greece, an’ parted on a rusty Spanish stair Two birds in th’ distance fly, they landed an’ they settle down somewhere
Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunlite glide thru yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there
A year is just a drop in time, it cannot touch her female form in my head She was just a friend of mine, in th’ dark she knew th’ touch of my hand
Plans an’ schemes Thoughts an’ dreams Who cares what they mean... When they work they’re amazing things When they don’t I hear you scream
Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die Six legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly I can’t remember an’ I can’t decide What was th’ season an’ th’ color of yr eyes
Pharoahs an’ kings Favorite queens Buried with their Precious rings When they lived they loved complete But in their tombs I hear them scream
Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die Six legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly It makes you wonder, why can’t I What was th’ reason for th’ color of yr eyes
Psalms and spells Magic blast Who cares what they cast I dreamed I’ d always love you complete I never thought I’d hear you scream
Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die Eight legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly It makes you wonder, why can’t I What was th’ reason for th’ color of yr eyes
In th’ morning yr face cracks an’ falls to th’ sea Th’ sun follows yr step an’ leads you back to me You keep telling yrself that you're here but you’re not alone An’ you get th’ feeling that yr mind is not yr own
In th’ evening th’ sun’s red gown turns to brown Th’ moon follows you to th’ beach then it swallows you down Strange how you change and end up at her feet You keep telling yourself but you know yr not to be believed
You an’ me and Hercules in between You an’ me and Hercules in between
Shadows rise from the plain... fifty men row In th’ distance th’ ships in th’ waves cash in their load On th’ hill stands Colossus an’ yr mind is freezed Clouds from yr past now at last open to receive
You an’ me and Hercules in between You an’ me and Hercules in between
Cross th’ desert sand no one knows yr name An’ you wish you were somewhere else with some kind of fame What appears as yr shadow is formless as a mist You keep telling yr friends you know... it exists One becomes two then before you... turns to three Words climb your tongue... like a ladder to speak Drifting as you go but you row... ‘til it seems All is One, All is Mind, all is lost and you find, ALL IS DREAM
I told you before, stay away from my door Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother The freaks on the phone, won't leave me alone So don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother No!
I, I found out! I, I found out!
Now that I showed you what I been through Don't take nobody's word what you can do There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky Now that I found out I know I can cry
I, I found out! I, I found out!
Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man I heard something 'bout my Ma and my Pa They didn't want me so they made me a star
I, I found out! I, I found out!
Old Hare Krishna got nothing on you Just keep you crazy with nothing to do Keep you occupied with pie in the sky There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes
I, I found out! I, I found out!
I've seen through junkies, I've been through it all I seen religion from Jesus to Paul Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine No one can harm you, feel your own pain
I, I found out! I, I found this out! I, I found out!
There you stand With your L.A. tan And your New York walk And your New York talk Your mother left you when you were small But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all Steel and Glass Steel and Glass
Your phone don't ring No one answers your call How does it feel to be off the wall Your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads Your lies But you can't pull strings if your hands Are tied Your teeth are clean but your mind Is capped You leave your smell like and alley cat Steel and Glass Steel and Glass
There you stand with your toilet scent And your Mickey duck and your Donald fuck Your Daddy left when you were small But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all Steel and Glass Steel and Glass Steel and Glass
Imagine there's no heaven - it's easy if you try No hell below us, above us, only sky Imagine all the people, living for today
Imagine there's no country - I wonder if you do? Nothing to kill or die for; no religion, too Imagine all the people, living life in peace, you-hoo
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope that you will join us And the world would live as one
Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can? Nothing to keep only from greed or hunger - a brotherhood of man Imagine all the people, sharing all the world, you-hoo
You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope that you will join us And the world would live as one
