Pinky

the sun rises on the moon
and sets slowly to come back soon
and then it dawns on me ive been set free
im far away from you and you from me
i got nothing
and i cant grip the ground
i got nothing
and i dont dig the sound
ive got a barn
i sleep inside
when things get scary
i run and hide
i found an answer
i cant deny
i left my problems
in someone elses sty
i got nothing
and i cant grip the ground
i got nothing
and i dont dig the sound
i got something
pushing me away
i got nothing
asking me to stay

Spaceman

im a spaceman
im flying in the sky
no place man
and i dont know why
pale face man
im a supersonic guy
im a space man
on a hyperactive high
oo oo oo
fly away man
far far away
spaced out
hear what i say
tomorrow
is just like today
were all spacemen
in this atmospheric grey
oo oo oo
i like to feel the rain
i left you far behind
i miss you
so very much
i lost my
weary mind
{plane noise}
when i fly
so very high
and i look
into your face
stars
when they collide
tears
run down your space
moons and stars
in my eyes
and me
in yours
comets
passing by me
a distant planets
lapping shores
words about my mind
will keep me
right on track
with wounds i
try to bind
when pressures
start to stack
think in
vivid pictures
of holes
in space and time
up on saturns rings
a spacemans
magic rye

Grey Matter
03:56
|
|||
|
with every moment apart
and every passing sun and moon
clouds obstruct my view
and rain drops down on your tree
the sun the moon and the stars
collided in our big bang
the wind the trees and the sand
ripped away the days we had
but what
does it matter
anyway
the mist was on the ground
i dipped my feet into the dirt
you would lay in the grass
looking at the stars out reach
but what
does it matter
anyway
the ghost of you sleeps in my bed
and i dont know why but i feel half dead
and i made it through to the other side
and i hope you will come out alive
as i saw the tunnel
i heard that train is coming
i felt it as it hit me
and ill be back tomorrow
o o
but what
does it matter
anyway
but what does it matter anyway

i
need
to get through
the
strange
when
i walk
the tightrope
everything has changed
overdrive
im going life or death
have i
hit the wall
overdrive
should i take the step
i am
about to fall
stones
on
my feet
will drag
me
down
to
the bottom
of
the sea
overdrive
im going life or death
have i
raised the bar
overdrive
should i take a breath
i have
gone to far
oooo
verdrive
ooooo
verdrive
is why
i sway
like a blade
of grass
in the breeze
sheltered
by the shadow
of the trees
oooo
verdrive
ohooo
verdrive
oooo
verdrive
eeee

there once a frog named frog
just kidding his name was geoffrey
sittin on a log

in his yard and the paper

he said to me
ya
mr frog
come hang w me
sittin on a lilypad
catchin lots of flies
watch them as they flew by
with those ever watchful eyes
you said forever
and thats a really really long time
but when were together
life will be sublime
ya

eating people
gets real hard
cause i dont like
the taste
chewed me up
and spit me out
but i tasted fine
took me out to slaughter me
like a worthless swine
im not the main course
im just an appetizer
for all the vampires to
eat away at my life
im like a candy
ill give you cavities
who needs a dentist
with those real sharp teeth to
drink my blood
like a bottle of that
wiine i
always see you with it
im not the main course
im just an appetizer
for all the vampires to
eat away at my life

If I Were Me
03:24

my father saw the tree of life
please take the fruit so not all ghosts are bad
we began to follow suit
this is a story
about life i guess
and all the things we do
to get us in this mess
is lucifer was an angel
are we just his pawns
havin sex
and takin drugs
mowin
on our lawns
as if it
really mattered
what we do w our lives
not everything that we do is bad
havin children and wives
maybe
its not so bad
everything about this place
maybe
its not so bad
can i
get some space
cause jesus
was a donkey
workin on a farm
i found him
down in mexico
he kept safe from harm
as if it
really mattered
what we do w our lives
not everything that we do is bad
havin children and wives
at least thats what i think
we could all do better
if you see me shiver
if i were you id give me your sweater

lately ive been thinking
and i dont know what im doin
thinking about myself
and everything around me
thinking bout the end
this is a tragedy
i know today
you wont understand
maybe tomorrow
you will take my hand
run run away
well never look back
dont listen to them
theres nothing you lack
always going
fast and slowing
you and i will
never stand still
run down the road
chasing the crashing cars
we are the bugs
meant to be kept in jars
look to the sky
to see what you want to be
you told the lies
try to believe in me
always going
fast and slowing
you and i will
never stand still
