There's No Struggle
03:31
|

There is a dead end / A corner in time
A fate to address / A future to find
And you really wanna know
If you're really in control
You're only skin deep / but hey, so am I
You're a bag of meat / you're a bowl of fire
And you really wanna know
If you're really in control
If you're really in control
There's no hairs to split / get high or stay sober
One day you'll get by / one day it's all over
And you really wanna know
If you're really in control
If you're really in control
If you're really in control
When the pods that pump your blood
Cannot seem to squeeze enough
To your brain
And the murmurations flipping
In your heart have sent your feet slipping
To the grave
Don't be troubled / take a breath
There's no struggle / nothing's left
There is a dead end / A corner in time
A fate to address / A future to find
And you really wanna know
If you're really in control
If you're really in control
If you're really in control

Waves of Apathy
02:38
|
|||
Darling you did say / you sang my name
but my head is not home
Floating far away / when the waves
of apathy come
Magazine ink sticks to my fingertips
So I leave prints everywhere I go
And all my friends say they hate the jobs they're working
But they really just want to be left along
Darling you did say / you sang my name
but my head is not home
Floating far away / when the waves
of apathy come
(lalalala)
Darling you did say / you sang my name
but my head is not home
Floating far away / when the waves
of apathy come
Ceaselessly singing / I'll answer the call
Still waves fall and fall and fall and fall
(lalalala)

Chamomile
03:14
|
|||
So sweet friend / I've been feeling down again
Feels like I've got the bends / from the time I spent with you
I'm always tired / but I'm always wired
and now what I desire / is eyes that could rest on you
Give me soft rings spilling outwards
Chamomile tea-covered flower
ah give me love
I'm out of luck / I'm aching for a touch
but anybody else would be too much / so I hope that I see you soon
Give me soft rings spilling outwards
Chamomile tea-covered flower
ah give me love
(instrument break)
Give me soft rings spilling outwards
Chamomile tea-covered flower
ah give me love

Ghost of John Lennon
03:44
|
|||
Holy holy talk show host
you're the lifeblood of the ghost
that haunts me in my dreams I'm told
haunts me in my dreams
Where teeth are time-bombs ticking down
and when they're gone I'll grind the ground
into a powder pure a clean
to rid the dreams of me
(ladadada)
Now to scenes of high-school sweethearts
where affections tore us apart
and our warring bodies smelled
of sex on red velour
Then into assassination's
grassy knoll for JFK
and Lennon paraphrasing,
"All you need is someone to endure"
(ladadada)
(ah)
Lennon said, Lennon said
I'm back from the dead
and now we're here breaking bread
listen to me friend
All you need is love (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
All you need is love (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Are you feeling low, feeling rough?
All you need is love (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Are you giving enough? (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Are you feeling low, feeling rough?
All you need is
All you need is love

Flower King
02:31
|
|||
In the crown above the sky
Bathed in ever-shining light
All thoughts breathe to come alive
In my castle green
Above everything
I'm the Flower King
In a force of will
Every seed I spill
Grows to fuse with me
All the rhythms rolling by
Form a tunnel long and wide
To perceive it is to die
In my castle green
Above everything
I'm the Flower King
In a force of will
Every seed I spill
Grows to fuse with me
Ah
Shaking out the waves that make up your world
Like a radio tower stretched to its breaking point from the Earth
In my castle green
Above everything
I'm the Flower King
In a force of will
Every seed I spill
Grows to fuse with me
In my castle green
Above everything
I'm the Flower King
In my castle green
Above everything
I'm the Flower King

Lovin'
03:59
|
|||
Come a little closer, I want you to know
that I need a little lovin'
I want to be an animal with you
but you're miles away from me
Was it hard?
Did you break?
Break apart?
The day you flew away
The day you flew away
You've been from North and South Dakota down to Kokomo
and you live somewhere between there
Are you happy and having fun?
is it really good for you to be there?
Was it hard?
Did you break?
Break apart?
The day you flew away
The day you flew away
When I lie the dreams that arise
are whirling dervish surgeries all spinning in the sky
and the plane you took away
growing feathered wings and yellow eyes
(instrumental)
Was it hard?
Did you break?
Break apart?
The day you flew away
The day you flew away
The day you flew away
The day you flew away

Milk Carton Mary
03:10
|
|||
Mary: come home / we miss you so
the leaves turn gold / the nights grow cold
ah
Mary: grow old / but let us know
please try to phone / and please come home
ah
On this milk carton, your face should be a shroud
Even though it's been a couple of years now
We're still waiting
Mary: come home / we miss you so
Louie louie / oh lord / I've gotta go now
Louie louie / oh lord / I've gotta go
ah

Womback
03:44
|

I wanna go back to my momma's womb
I wanna relax in the love's liquid glass-filled room
I wanna slip out of the skin I'm in
I wanna regress to the warm leathered breast with you
Maybe you're stoned / Maybe you're lonesome
Maybe what you was wasn't good enough, son
Maybe you're bored / boring and unsure
Maybe what you are just looks a little nicer in the dark
I wanna go back to my mother's love
Where nothing really mattered and I didn't have to think too much
I wanna fall off of the world I ride
I wanna dissolve, I wanna re-liquify
Maybe you're stoned / Maybe you're lonesome
Maybe what you was wasn't good enough, son
Maybe you're bored / boring and unsure
Maybe what you are just looks a little nicer in the dark
I wanna go back to my momma's womb
I wanna go back to my momma's womb
I wanna go back to my momma's womb
I wanna go back to my momma's womb
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back to see you
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back to see you
oo

Every Light
05:11
|

When I'm down I can see every light disappearing
and the feet of my father walking over the water.
The blue veins in his hands form the stairways to heaven;
floating right over me, a little bit out of reach.
