Blood from a stone, water from wine.
Born under earplay design. A stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time. Let's fly up out of the lime. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. Canary got trapped, the uranium mine. A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died. A marker to mark where my tears run dry. I cross it, bless it, alkali. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain. Now I can't see anything. I made a mistake, chalked it up to design. I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry. I point my nose to the northern star, Watch her decline from a hazy distance. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. |

I never thought of this as funny.
It speaks another world to me. I wanna be your Easter bunny. I wanna be your Christmas tree. I'll strip the world that you must live in Of all its god forsaken greed. I'll ply the tar out of your feathers. I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet. You and me. You and me. You and me. And if I choose your sanctuary. I'll want to wash you with my hair. I'll want to drink of sacred fountains And find elixirs hidden there. I'll reap the lotus and the olive. I'll want to hear the caged bird sing. I'll want the secrets of the temple. I'll want the finger with the ring. You and me. You and me. You and me. And if you made me your religion. I'll give you all the room you need. I'll be the drawing of your breath. I'll be the carpet you should weave. I'll be the sky above the Ganges. I'll be the vast and stormy sea. I'll be the lights that guide you inland. I'll be the visions you will see. The visions you will see. You will see. You will see. You and me. You and me. You and me. You and me. You and me. You and me. |

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me and so the feeling grows It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go So if you really love me, come on and let it show You know I love you I always will My mind's made up by the way that I feel There's no beginning, there'll be no end 'Cause on my love you can depend I see your face before me, as I lay on my bed I kinda get to thinking of all the things we said You gave a promise to me, and I gave mine to you I need someone beside me in everything I do You know I love you I always will My mind's made up by the way that I feel There's no beginning, there'll be no end 'Cause on my love you can depend It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go So if you really love me, come on and let it show Come on and let it show |

pleasure is melting like chocolate my blue ribbon gumption is gone all my gravy must have soaked into something and the world... the filthy steps, the cold concrete the phony earth below my feet the ancient odor of the streets yes the world it is a sponge and when the crisis passes when the coast is clear I'll be buffed down to a liquid and the world it is a sponge throughout this entire ugly outing I've been mumbling the convex of what I should be shouting but I'll soon be silent you'll soon hear nothing 'cause the world it is a sponge |
