American flag
My friend
Sits at the drum
His magic hand
Feels nothing but
Time
Nothing but time
My old friend
Sits at the drum
His magic mind
Doesn't feel anything
American Flag is behind
If I could stand
To be less difficult
My new friend
Plays drums all the time
Her magic heart
Feels everything
She plays the difficult parts and I play
Difficult
She goes shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop
Shoop eh doop eh doop eh doop
We go shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop shoop eh
Doop eh doop
If I could stand
To be less difficult
He turns down
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know i'm not supposed to say
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one i'm talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one i'm not supposed to say
Holding on for something have you ever held

Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on
It's not me I am pretending

He turns down

It's not me, I am pretending

No sense
Do you remember
Do you remember
That night at context
Making up shit
Like we were animals
We made no sense
No sense
We had no sex
Can you see, can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see, can you see
The moon is so hollow
What's the use
When I can see right through you
What's the use
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
They make no sense, no sense, no sense
No sense, we had no sex
Say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to sayin the same thing
I hope all is well with you
I wish the best for you
When no one is around love will always love you
Learn to say the same thing
What defeats people is a double confession
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess something else
Talk to them they will say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
Never give up no never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
Never give up no never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess the next
Talk to them they will say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
Metal heart
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And i'm not kidding
It's damned if you don't and it's damned
if you do
Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
Sand everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.
I once was lost but now i'm found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the
bad dreaming
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing
Back of your head
Big monster
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
See you looking through me
Like you've unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Couldn't park that fucking car
Couldn't part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother's head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead
Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so
well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
Moonshiner
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money on whisky and beer
I go to some hollow
And set up my holy holy still
If drinking do not kill me
Then I don't know what will
I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
If women and men would come to follow
To see what I might spend
God bless them handsome men
I wish they was mine
They're breath is as sweet as
The dew on the holy holy vine
You're already in hell, you're already in
hell
I wish we could go to hell
When the bottle gets empty
Then life ain't worth the drown
You may know him
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent
me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
And then he came to life and he lived
All others strange because who could of thought
That you meant so much to me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave
him
Surprised by the rise in sin you came through over and over
again
Lord heaven is the place that you sent him
And you may know him
And you may know him only you
Lord i've never doubted for an instant
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
Lord if heaven is the place he believed in
it's all you can do
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord surprised by the rise in sin you came through
You came through
Colors and the kids
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I'd wanna go right away
To a January night
I built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become
Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name
I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better
It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Cross bones style
Oh how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
And cold as coal
When you're ending with diamond eyes
Oh come child
In a crossbones style
Oh come child
Come and rescue me
'Cause you have seen some
Unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds and still
'Cause you have seen some unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds
Oh come child
In a crossbones style
Oh come child
Come rescue me
'Cause you have seen some
Unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds and still
So still
Oh how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
And cold as coal
When you're ending with diamond eyes
Oh come child
In a crossbones style
Oh come child
Come and rescue me
'Cause you have seen some
Unbelievable things
Peking Saint
In peking
There is a son who
Is much greater
Than you want to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking
There is a mother
Who is laden
With who she has to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking there is someone who
Is who they should exactly be.
