"Go declare a sentiment"'s what I said
I said, "I wanna work for the government."
They got a magic little pill that gonna make it all better.
Gonna go get her.
Gonna write her a letter.
Momma wants to build me up a houseboat.
Sittin' in a moat.
Makin' money while I float downstream.
Everybody get the scene.
Gotta to carry all your dreams in a tote.
Woah-oh!
Lsa met a man who's selling bad days
Wants to save the money for a trip to get her fresh legs
Get her down the valley for a view
but my little birdie only wants to be blue
Ooh-ooh!
Lsa got a goose to lay a gold egg,
Got me on the phone tell me everything is okay,
"Okay."
What she say is what she do and all I wanna do is be with you.
Ooh-ooh!
Saturday's the day we all get sun-baked
Sit up on the hill and watch the eagles fish the calm lake
Come make love to me and settle into Sunday
Take it slow, then drop back into Monday
Every day's as sunny as the last one,
Pass one rollie round the room and get us latched on
Catch on to the way the days go by,
We're gonna make 'em fly away
Away!

I make a loud noise
You get the bottle from the drawer
We burn the rug up
You found a way to buy us more
Oh baby darling
Where did you find your way of life?
Oh baby darling
Where did you get that kitchen knife?
Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh
We played in the streets
We knew the danger all the time
We wore our bare feet
We didn't think it was a crime
And all this time I thought that we were just a crew
Of one and one make two
One and one make two
Air as cold as ice descends upon the soggy grass we lay on
We cry out for light to glow on
We played in the streets
We knew the danger all the time
We wore our bare feet
We didn't think it was a crime
And all this time I thought that we were just a crew
Of one and one make two
One and one make two
(kitchen knife) Of one and one make two
(kitchen knife) One and one make two
Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh

Cloudless

A cloudless sky blooms
Turns a bright blue
Makes me think of you
A muscle moves
Exerts the grooves
Makes me think of you
Tame your energy for a life where the world is in line
Oceans bleed into warmer climes, our eyes spy our warmer times
Train your sight to see past the night to the daylight up ahead
Move your body with me now, place yourself up on the bed
And move
Place a light above your door
Shining bright so I can see
You are ready for my love
You are waiting just for me
Clear your soul to fall into
Make a place for me and you
I will make each moment meaningful
A cloudless sky blooms
Turns a bright blue
Makes me think of you
A muscle moves
Exerts the grooves
Makes me think of you

When the sun met the moon
He said light my way
When the dish met the spoon
She said let's run away
If the girl in the picture book
Met her love by the side of some rambling brook
Or the boy from the fairy tale
Met his future on the side of an ancient hill
When the ocean met the star
He said float me home
When the light met the passing car
She said only if together we roam
If the girl in the picture book
Met her love underneath the bed of a rook
Or the boy from the fairy tale
Kept his pace while the wind beat the sail
When the wind met the tree
He said blow me away
When the leg met the knee
She said here is where i will stay
If the girl in the fairy tale
Met her love where the wind would wail
Or the boy from the picture book
Met his future in a dream and never got a good look
When my eyes met your ears
They said sing me a song
When your hands held my fears
They said keep me strong
Are you that girl in the fairy tale
Keeping on though you may fail
Am I that boy in the picture book
All I want is just one good look

Father of the Gold

There was a series of bangs
Then we both fell apart
Those days we'd buried our head in the clay
There was a loud crash
Catching us off our guard
Carving us a spot far from the tree
Where the tree would sway
And I fall down...
I fall down into the dream
There was a very loud noise
Then the girls and the boys
All broke from the chains to break up the funeral
There was a spot on the soil
Where the shovel broke Earth
And the Birth of your Death was beautiful
And I fall down...
I fall down into the dream
Oh! It was a wonderful scene
Sequences bleeding through the beams
Beating upon me like the wisdom of concrete
And I see you've fallen for their tricks
Whisked away on the tide time and time again
And I'm sliding in...
and I'm sliding in...
There was a big boom sleeping in the cold fog
Side by side with the right place at the wrong time
There was a fresh fruit paradise on the way home
But they wouldn't let us stop to buy one lime
And I fall down...
I fall down
And I fall down...
I fall down
And I fall down...
I fall down into the dream

Take me down the gully in the snow
I know that it's cold
but I still feel the sun's warm glow
If the fire can't do diligence to keep us till the spring
May we die the kind of death the brave would bring
You drop the axe upon the log that's frozen in the Earth
Just one speck of wood to burn would earn our time a wider berth
I doubt the change could much make us survive
But it's okay, right now we're still alive
And I love the way your hard hands move to make your handmade pack
And I love the way your skin and muscle twitch across your back
And I love the way you're working for the warmth that we now lack
And I love you, oh my darling, I love you
I break my leg and fall into a trap between a sheet
You tie a rope around me and you guard us from the sleet
But all I want to do is fall asleep a thousand years
And I don't want to cry because the wind will freeze my tears
You hold me in the darkness underneath the deer skin throw
There are two ways you can leave now
But no place that I can go
And I beg you now to leave me here
To sleep until I die
Our paths will cross again next life as spirits in the sky
And I love the way your hard hands move to make your handmade pack
And I love the way your skin and muscle twitch across your back
And I love the way you're working for the warmth that we now lack
And I love you, oh my darling, I love you

There's a body out of the universe
And it's eyes are the setting sun
Money makes the monkey say you can't be One with Everyone.
But I don't know what I'm doing here
And it hurts even more when I dig
But I gotta find out cause I gotta find out. I wanna get Big.
The morning coffee burns my tongue
But I drink it down with the sun
Cause a body forms a body, and everybody wants to be someone.
Water pools around my toes
And it looks like winter'll be cold
When the wind whips around me, confounding me with its hold
Chamomile is calling my name
And sanctuary sits in the room
And the darkness is a darkness like the sunflower is full bloom
Drop to the ground and wait
Like a lion at arena bars
Feel the skin break, feel the way the body scars

This night I freed my soul
I let it go up like a balloon into the cold
You were tearing me up inside
We danced a million miles
We carried bees inside of our hives
There was a burgeoning pride
And oh! There were so many places to go
You fight you play it nice
I had a dream that we couldn't think twice
There were too many signals to try
We rode the high like birds
Too many bodies below us not to drop a few terms
Of endearment to the sky
And oh! There are so many places to go
So many dreams to uphold
So many faces to know
And I feel you out on the edge of the road
You have a soul to behold, you are so holy and cold
You can beat back, program, schedule your soul into a fever
Neat as a button in a hole. You can be tied up
Tried for the crimes you can't deny that you did.
No you can't deny what you did
Oh you can't deny what you did
This time I punched a hole
I let it heal up like a burn wound into the soul
It was tearing me up inside.

Scalp Appointment

Make a muscle move, take a step, hit a groove make me dance tonight
And I'm alright sittin on the top of the hill to drink and grill till the moonlight
There's no way wishing has been bad to us, now discuss!
Make your life alive by trading time for claiming your own mind
There's seasons whispering in our head
There's no way that you can't rise and you can't fall
Make a white little lie a full-blown guise to hide your framed eyes
Blue is fruiting truth I spoke it to you through the haze of the black flies
There's no way kissing would be bad for us, now discuss!
Common elements betray a secret dream that could decay
The sugar in our diet is a Pan that came to play
Riding high among the trees, a bird that carries a disease
You fight the urge to hit the purge and truly run away
Often there's a dream
Often there's a dream
Make a muscle move, take a step, hit a groove make me dance tonight
And I'm alright sittin on the top of the hill to drink and grill till the moonlight
There's no way wishing has been bad to us

We were solvent in the bright day light
While the current and canoe carried us alright
I had my eyes closed tight
Daydreaming of the days we
Made our way through the puzzled breeze
Collapsed within a cosmos made of infinite trees
I love moments like these
Daydreaming of the days we glide
Lisa dropped us on a tropical isle
With her sea-soaked skin and her sun-baked smile
Lazy river island style
Daydreaming of the days we
Tasted ginger through the miracle fruit
Trading bitter for the sweetness of a spicy root
Luck swings wide but we don't give a hoot
Daydreaming of the days we glide
Saturated by the fire's warming glow
Smell the toasted wood as the sun swings low
The ocean slides on in
And he's gonna take us out with him
Where we'll go?
I don't know.
Lisa carries us across Venetian blinds
Takes us to the docks and makes our brains unwind
Inscrutably cool, then the universe aligns
Daydreaming of the days we
Daydreaming of the days we
Daydreaming of the days we glide

Cascades ripple through the dusky grey
The sun light fades in one last island ray
And this boat is floating so unopposed
We mark the spot where all the markings stop
And drop our gaze where our gaze will drop
And this boat still floats so unopposed
But the seaweed sinks and the salt gets sold
A pirate can't steal what was never gold
And this boat is floating so unopposed
We can't own the sea and we can't own the tide
But we wrangle the fish in our ratty pride
And this boat still floats so unopposed
And I don't remember yesterday
It's already faded through my skin
Who'd tie their boat up to a cloud?
When the ulam spiral hits its final prime
And the last question slices through the chilly clime
This boat will float so unopposed
When the last stream flows to the final sea
You'll be looking at you when you're looking at me
And this boat still will float so unopposed
Yeah this boat will still float so unopposed
