(Shoo bop be doo bop)
Oh, sweet love of mine,
I wonder what your doing inside your head tonight.
If you go i would want you to stay,
and if you remain want you to go away.
Guess I'll go down to the river and I'll take a dive.
'Cause when I am close to death, that's "well I'm most alive"
Oh, sweet love of mine,
the feelings that your giving me are wrong but I can't fight.
Take my hand just don't throw it away.
And if you wanna leave me I got nothing to say.
(Shoo bop be doo bop)
I'm in love with her!
(Shoo bop be doo bop)
Don't look to me after all,
God does not have a soul.
She wrote me a letter,
I haven't read at all.

Oh Great One please,
oh grade one take it.
Oh Great One please,
oh grade one take it.
Ah, Great One.
Ah, grade one.
My eyes they see,
(My eyes know truth because of you)
my touch it feels,
(My touch knows truth because of you)
my fear it bleeds,
(My fear knows truth because of you)
my blood it heals.
(My blood knows truth because of you)
Ah, Great One.
Ah, grade one.
I never knew a dark god until I found you.
You give me the power I need to feel.
Though I am but one of your many followers,
(Great One)
and grow my beard,
(Great One)
I'm the only one that's real.

Our life is full of ease,
living's such a breeze,
all except for one thing;
the only thing is horror it brings.
We're always on our toes,
but even then we know,
your cleverness outweighs,
our most intelligent days.
Because you can take advantage of us,
you take advantage of this.
Are we as free as we seem?
When there's evil ones like you,
with an evil kiss.
It never was a worm after all.

Pencils And Whores
Have to tell you a story of a ship that I once sailed,
it was less than a home than it was jail.
The first night I boarded the weather hit us hard,
so that me and my brothers had dropped our cards.
The captain was mean, a sea-soured old man,
he didn't even know what to call the land.
With eyes like an eagles and water in his veins,
and he was a quick one to give you the cane.
The ship was old, even older than the sea,
and if you hurt her she would bleed.
But devils are kind, if you're strong enough to give,
and that ship would forever live.
There was a brother who played the guitar,
and sang to the night time and the stars.
Many nights I thought I was dreaming of a place that was of gold,
and gave me room to free my soul.
I went for the treasure I went for just to run,
I went for the ocean to become one.
Wrote many stories of the thoughts and make-believe,
so when brothers would die I had no time to grieve.
I had not a bottle to share or keep alone,
the thirst was enough to dry my boats.
My prisoners there would be kind to step aside,
for many a time I would try to die.
The sea taught me many things that I now keep with me,
and treasure and gold doesn't make me free.
I quench my fortune upon merriment and pain,
and I could never go back again.
Brothers I hear you calling but the angels won't let me run...

Don't you already know,
the choices of your grope?
Curtains fall and the carousel it still turns.
I have made mistakes,
just don't hesitate.
Ring master takes the audience like a picture.
I'm to wallow in this fair.
All you people invited there.
Cry non-child. Take thine eyes and open those lids.
Need to fall, get up,
holding me and won't let go.
I love her. Gypsy girls stay young forever.

Truth Of The Glass
Gather round people for an evening or awhile,
as I lay out the tale of a sad tragedy.
I'm an old man you can see that I'm wise,
my wrinkles are wide, I was bored so let it be,
Listen to me. Have some mercy.
What's the use in aging if you can't tell a story?
Let the words I tell you save you much precious time,
so you don't have to climb that direction.
I've saved up some chairs for each man, woman, child.
Bring your friends and your wives I've confessions.
I'm gonna speak. And these things are so deep.
And you'll be wrapped in obsession.
While I have my voice I'm gonna use it for good,
and be understood 'til it grows thee.
I've outlived all my children even millions of trees,
I've crippled aging mold just to get here.
Oh I'll give you dreams with impunity.
Let my gestures guide you through these mysteries.
Remember looking up at the beautiful sky,
with the eyes of a child that so easily cried?
Give me your time. I promise I won't lie,
although I look like a pigsty.

Hills Of Virginia
Way down in the hills of Virginia,
that's where I thought I was alive.
But then the guns they started smoking,
and I would be a part of that Virginia sky.
And now I'm always on the run, yeah,
that sun will kill you where you stand.
I'm traveling with a stolen gun, yeah,
they'll never put my bones under their dirty land.
Don't take my horse away.
Let me ride another day on.
Up there in the valley of the mountains,
is where I lived within the trees.
But shadows followed through my hiding,
and yet I thought that I would never have been seen.
I'm all alone here.
My only friends are my will and my mirror.
Have to know which way I'm always going,
my shoulder's turning back on me.
The men they always seem to watch out,
I guess it's because they could see that I am free.
When I finally die,
on my grave I want you to write:
Here I lie my reckoning day
Was chased upon I though still away.

Cat's Meow
When we were going down to the cat's meow,
we had to go straight through downtown.
Where everyone who's everyone would speak in rhyme.
We had to stop for the day, things weren't going our way,
stopped into the park to see the play.
The players there in the square, they all had their lines.
Cause everyone, everyone who's everyone, everyone who's everyone would be around.

Erin Sunshine comes along,
inspires a song.
Little city hooker girl,
are you having a cold world?
If I give you my money will you go down on me?
If I play you a tune, will you do it for free?
Your breath is like a summer breeze,
in this winter freeze.
Your eyes can make me high,
like a tortured sky.
I've seen you before in the universe of a dream.
Your hair of autumn silky sheen.
You're shameless that's your kick,
let me be your next trick.

Man Of Three Heads
Don't ask for help I guess you can't get it from me.
I'll always compare the guilt I feel with the man of three heads.
Thought I'd like myself but I don't
All of this started just after I met the man of three heads.
Bang my head into my hands.
No one I know could've taught me how to grow like the man of three heads.
I should question everything,
especially the man who talks in harmonies and riddles it's the man of three heads.

Icicles
Icicles hang from my eyelashes.
I used to think it's 'cause my heart was cold.
But I have learned a thing or two.
And all little things I was never told.
You're so beautiful but you don't believe me.
Because my eyes appear to deceive.
And no it's not a fantasy I see.
Just a far and wide hypocrisy.
Dreams may come and go they never stay.
Don't you notice how they wash away?
The trouble is that you could never see,
through icicles like little ol' me.
Love me if you dare don't try to hide.
Look to me for what you see inside.
You can have my whole body.
But don't you think my mind is sexy?

Murder House
The strawberries taste like cemeteries.
The winding road is like places we've never been before.
The trees are reaching down to grab us.
The weather's damp with vision,
Makes the only light that follows blind us even more.
Oh where will my mother go when she has to go to the show.
That's it.
Walking with the murder house.
I like the crooked house.
Where the flies live in a cloud.
Footsteps behind us something to laugh about.
Walking with.....

Get me out of jail here,
don't watch me die.
I'm a prisoner who,
is serving life.
I am the lost one,
they took my freedom.
I'm no longer innocent,
I know only strife!
Sing to me an old time song,
cold as I am.
The caviar is never sour,
I take it's delight.
It's a suit and tie affair,
that ends in a fight.
If you wanna see me cry, just put me in the hole.
I'm ruined already.
You ruined me.

I'm A Star
There is only one kind of freedom,
and I say that it's the afterlife.
But I won't go if you don't,
and I can say that I'm still breathing.
Sleeping mountain calls me,
but my heart goes to their dreaming.
If I'm not alone and I had a home,
then I can go on without screaming.
I'm a star low in the sky waiting to die.
Can you offer me sanctuary,
from the world the way I see it?
I'm so tired, let me start over,
so I don't have to see the bullshit.
I'm a star low in the sky always in flight.
