NEVER TO BE FOUND
We got road, we got time, so we're out of here
We got rows, we got rows as far as we see
In the dust we can see your catastrophe
Shining dimly like a mudslick in the sun
Sparks fly from their eyes
Birds fly from their mouths
Echoing off this percession is a sound
Never to be found
With a tip of the hat we would exit here
Off you go with a pie on your face
Down the road we can see the electic chair
Who'll be first? I don't know, it's a race
With a drop of the fly we should exit here
Off you go with the crumbs on your face
One-eyed clown in the road with electric hair
At his best he's a total disgrace
WE DON'T EXIST
We don't exist
We eat our time
We don't resist
It's not alright
What I want out of this
What I need out of this
Cayenne
We don't exist
Night after night
We fall apart
It's quite alright
SEVERED GODDESS HAND
The horizon breaks to pieces
And the mainline is the twilight
And the giant net has a perfect window
Passage through has the ticket screaming
I want a mind
I'll tell you what I find
No severed goddess hand
No plaster in my eye
No picture of a lamb
No goddess hand have I
I'm a picture of a goddess
Of a planet in the window
Through a tiny hole in the giant curtain
I have watched as it stood undressing
I want more eyes
I wanna see more lies
In the silence of the neurons
Where the pathway has been printed
There's a gleaming hope for an understanding
Timing's gone and there's been no planning
Two heads, one dream
Two-thirds a crowd it seems
FLAMING HEART
Praise the sight
Someone dropped a ball on me
Damn the wind
Giving life to sails
Human sin
Couldn't stir a fire in me
Damn the night
As the powders fail
And one beam of light is falling
From a single crazy eye
And it sweeps the inside sky
From east to right
Flaming heart, burning out
Pray tonight
Someone burns a name on me
Damn the sight
Painted on my eyes
Back to life
Passing through the wall to me
Feel the fire
Violet, black, and white
Late tonight
Someone pinned a tail on me
Later on
Someone robbed me blind
Took my life
Took my box of chicken teeth
Take the blame
Trusted enemy
SHINE
You got wings on your fingers
In the middle of a battle
Is a little of the way you talk
And you shine
You got cobwebs on your halo
In the closet are skeletons
Lined up ready to talk
And they shine
Fade into what
Made into hours
And pulled into lines
You got a ring around your finger
And a heart in the bottle
That never really learned to talk
And they shine
You got brickbats on your beltway
In the middle is a puzzle
Witht the pieces that have turned to slop
And they shine
STATION
Every thought's a game
A pack of chimps I cannot tame
You're wondering who to blame
Now your ride has come up lame
Fortress full of hate
Fears and hopes all pound the gate
Too early, it's too late
What is evil, which is great
Pigs are sheep and cats are dogs
And thoughts are made of Lincoln logs
To tend to the mice and wood
Where black is blue and bad is good
Thoughts that I keep my money in
Melt some wax and chunks of tin
Forget your name, how to walk and ignore
The light shining in from under the door
Thoughts like a thread through a foam device
Liquid bread and rubber ice
Make a promise, grow teeth, go to bed
Wake up when you're dead
ROOF WITH A HOLE
The colors are flowing from the wall to the floor
And only an outline still remains
Cause the roof's got a hole in it
And everything's been ruined by the rain
There may be diamonds in that dream on the hill
But the people who live there still complain
Cause the roof's got a hole in it
And everything is soaking in the rain
No one can practice common sense that they see
Through the nickel and diming I'll explain
When the roof's got a hole in it
Everything gets ruined by the rain
My head's got a hole in it
And everything's been ruined by the rain
BACKWATER
And when I wake up in the morning
to feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
They may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling
There is something that'll never change
And when I shoulda been gone a long time
Laughs and says I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways
Hey I'm blind
Good fine
Roll the time
On whose dime
And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein
THINGS
Shadowed is the game
Rodent by thy claim
Any open door
Leads to instant things
Make me go away
Take me to a place
Do some things to me
Make me go away
Ancient things design
Make me go away
Over is the game
Captured have you been
Twisted was part two
Ageless is the end
Things we must not do
Must not walk through walls
Also also don't
Do some things we did
Is this thing an oak?
What kind of a tree
This here must be swept
Must do instant things
The smell of blue perfume
Present in design
I've a need to talk
Let us speak of things
Nothing do I know
But loudly do I ring
Also also don't
Do some things we did
Make me go away
WHY?
Why must I move so slow
In my heart I can't let it go
And dreams fall into my eyes
In the night I have no disguise
Why does it seem to go
Fall apart in lies
Seems we will never know
Always asking why
Please let us stop this now
No it don't matter anyhow
This heart's trivialities
Are the world's sole realities
I know that it's over now
But I still want it anyhow
This heart's sole realities
Are the world's trivialities
EVIL LOVE
Last hand I shook was a boat that floated on its back
all day
In the middle of a song about trees that are scared of
the dark
Wait until you're gone to steal some thoughts from off
the shelf
To trade for hats with holes that let the night shine
through
Exchange our fears for little hole
And broken dreams of bent-backed trolls
Who'll tend the trees and what's in between
The sky above is aglow with evil love
The boat sank offshore in a birdbath dreamt by a broken
wheel
Left by the side of the road right where I slipped and
fell
And if I ever had they couldn't tell; if we were they
didn't know
She might but if he did they can't, you must, I won't
Turn our tears to little black holes
To light the way for three blind moles
Who'll tend the trees and what's in between
The sky above is aglow with evil love
COMIN' DOWN
Comin' down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
But for now I'm comin' down
Comin' down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm comin' down
I have seen their information
On the lighter side of dumbness
I have heard the new statistics
And the stomping on the ground
Picking slowly up the rockside
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around
Wakin' up from my slumber
To misunderstand another
Though they call it terra firma
It dissolves beneath my feet
Looking through a pile of garbage
For some worthless piece of paper
That's been hiding there for me
To give meaning to my day
Goin' down to the desert
To the dirty filthy desert
I'll be crawling through the sand
For at least a couple days
Goin' down to the desert
There are things there worth avoiding
And it always makes me cross
When those things get in my way
