THE BIRDS, THE BEES
THE SKY, THE SEA
THE TREE, THE PLANT
LOW MAN, RECANT
SO MUCH TO DO
TOO LATE FOR YOU NOW
THE TIME, HAS GONE
WHAT WAS, NOW’S NOT TO BE
IF ONLY
PREPARE TO SEE THE LIGHT
FORESEE DELIGHT?
NOT QUITE
REGRETS ONLY, IT’S TRUTH TIMES NOW
THE LOCK, THE KEY
EXPLORE, BREAK FREE
THE SUN, THE MOON
THE HOUR, SPELLS DOOM
TAKE FLIGHT, BE GONE
SWALLOW, GASP, MOVE ON
TO LIVE, TO DIE
THROUGH ALL, WHAT’S LIFE TO BE?
IF ONLY
PREPARE TO SEE THE LIGHT
FORESEE DELIGHT?
NOT QUITE
DEFY, DIGRESS
LEARN MORE, KNOW/NO LESS
WHO, ME?
IF ONLY
PREPARE TO SEE THE LIGHT
FORESEE DELIGHT?
NOT QUITE
REGRETS ONLY, IT’S TRUTH TIMES NOW
BE BLESSED, HOLIEST JEWEL
SHINE OUT

BE ALL OR NONE
BE ON THE RUN
DO BETTER, YOU WANT TO KNOW TOO MUCH
TOO LONG, TOO LATE,
NOTHING BETTER’S YET BEGUN FOR HIM
BEYOND THE SLIM
DO BETTER, YOU WANT TO KNOW TOO MUCH
TOO LONG, TOO LATE,
NOTHING BETTER’S YET BEGUN
SHUNS ANY FUN TO FLEE THE ONE YOU WANT/
THE ONE YOU WANT KEEPS PULLING YOU ON ALONG
INSTEAD OF OF GIVING YOU ALL OR NONE
YOU KNOW YOUR SCENE’S TORE-UP
YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER BUT TO WAIT
NOTHING BETTER’S YET BEGUN/
BEGUN TO UNDO
YOU OUGHTA KNOW
BEFORE BELOW
DO BETTER, YOU WANT TO KNOW TO MUCH
TOO LONG, TOO LATE
NOTHING BETTER’S YET BEGUN
SHUNS ANY FUN TO FLEE THE ONE YOU WANT/
THE ONE YOU WANT KEEPS PULLING YOU ON ALONG
INSTEAD OF OF GIVING YOU ALL OR NONE
YOU KNOW YOUR SCENE’S TORE-UP
BUCK UP, YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER BUT TO WAIT
NOTHING BETTER’S YET BEGUN
SING SIN, SOFT CITY LIGHT
DAY KISSED ON HER
SO STRAIGHT-ON, SUCCINCT
MY CITY LIGHT GROWS HUNGRY FOR LOVE
SHUNS ANY FUN TO FLEE THE ONE YOU WANT/
THE ONE YOU WANT KEEPS PULLING YOU ON ALONG
INSTEAD OF OF GIVING YOU ALL OR NONE
YOU KNOW YOUR SCENE’S TORE UP
YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER BUT TO WAIT
NOTHING’S BETTER YET

Come Down Hard
04:14
|

we’re moving faster, it’s getting better
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
we’re getting closer now, and delving deeper in
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
how’d we get so close so fast?
oh what bliss, we’re meant to last
we even got a chance to make it
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
encouragement, frequent confirmation
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
can’t seem to exhaust one conversation
oh boy, it’s gonna come down hard
my history has borne it out
I’m in too deep, I have no doubt
we’re about due for a falling-out
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
we’ve got something that is very hard to find
even harder to hold on to (ain’t it hard to hold on to something good?),
when I’m involved
it’s gonna be some time ‘fore I can believe again, just be again
please don’t think I haven’t really tried this time (guest/guessed
RITE/right appeal two/to reveal the alone)
a deep respect we’ve gained for one another
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
our bond is never strained, learn from each other
oh boy, it’s gonna come down hard
what a difference talking makes
I’ve never had quite what it takes
you’re about to learn why my conscience aches
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
we’ve got something that is very hard to find
even harder to hold on to (ain’t it hard to hold on to something good),
when I’m involved
it’s gonna be some time ‘fore I can believe again, just be again
please don’t think I haven’t really tried this time (dearly a peer, but a
fear to behold)...
we’re moving faster, it’s getting better
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
we’re getting closer now, and delving deeper in
boy, it’s gonna come down hard
how’d we get so close so fast?
oh what bliss, we’re meant to last
we even got a chance to make it,,,
boy, it’s gonna come down hard

Dead End Goal
03:44
|

say what?
did I stay here last night?
twilight’s dead end goal
deer-hunting skill
my dry, red eyes stray too long
I was just as surprised as anyone under the sun
did I lose here my head, Nightlight?
(I tried it on)
p’s and q’s
sheer wanton free-time, right?
how could you fail to see?
I was just as surprised as anyone underneath the sun’s hot eyes
no go before it’s high-time late for leaving here
yes/no (know) me more
die trying like hell to highlight delight
sky-high awake all evening
wouldn’t I love to somewhere
I could stay two lifetimes
say what?
did I stay here last night?
twilight’s dead end goal
deer hunting skill
my dry, red eyes stray too long
I was just as surprised as anyone under the sun
the turn-on sight set me wrong
I was just as surprised as anyone underneath the sun’s hot eyes
no go before it’s high-time late for leaving here
yes/no (know) me more
die trying like hell to highlight delight
sky-high awake all evening
wouldn’t I love to somewhere
I could stay two lifetimes
say what?
did I stay here last night?
twilight’s dead end goal
deer-hunting skill
my dry, red eyes stray too long
I was just as surprised as anyone underneath the sun

WHEN HE SAW THE LIGHT TO SHOW THE WAY
SIGHT BEYOND DECAY
DONT BE CROSS TO BARE
PLANTS CHAOS BEWARE
CAN’T WE TWO AVOID?
LISTEN
WHEN HE SAW THE LIGHT TO SHOW THE PATH
SPITE MISTAKES THE BATH
COSTLY PAIN TO SPEND
LOST REGAIN BEFRIEND
LISTEN
WHEN HE SAW THE LIGHT TO SHOW THE WAY
BEGUN TO FIND A WAY HOME AGAIN
WHEN HE FOUND A VOICE TO TELL THE TALE
CHOICE BEYOND THE PALE
BROUGHT BEFORE BE SEEN
FOUGHT ADORE MACHINE
SEEKS TO STAR ATTAIN
LISTEN
WHEN HE FOUND A VOICE TO SING THE SONG
THOUGHT NO THING TOO LONG
LIVES TO RUE THE STAIN
MUCH ADO EXPLAIN
LISTEN
WHEN HE FOUND A VOICE TO TELL THE TALE
BEGUN TO FIND A WAY HOME AGAIN
THE FIRE, THE FEAR, THE HEAT
BLUE FLAME, SEVERE DECIET
GREEN PASTURES OVER NOW
DEAR LIFE THE TRUTH COMES OUT
BECAME, BEWITCHED, BEGONE
WIN LOSE OR DRAW THE PLAN
DEFUSE SEE-SAW, WHO RAN?
HOW DARE A FACE YOU KNOW
KNOW WHERE/NOWHERE REPLACE TO GO
PREPARE TO TOUCH THE SUN
THESE EYES TOO MUCH NO FUN
APPEAR BEFORE THE STARE/STAIR
WHEN HE GOT THE GUTS TO SET THE STAGE
RUTS BEGET NEW AGE
CHANCE TO FLIP A COIN
DANCE NEW TRIP REJOIN
GIFTS REPAY BESTOW
LISTEN
WHEN HE GOT THE GUTS TO DO THE THING
FRESH, A DEW, A SPRING
FLESH ANEW, A KING
DEBTS DEPLORE DELAY
LISTEN
WHEN HE GOT THE GUTS TO SET THE STAGE
BEGUN TO FIND A WAY HOME AGAIN
THE FIRE, THE FEAR, THE HEAT

my timeline is my timeline
fits my time line in good time
time is now
time’s my time
do/due time
my timeline, fits my time
cuz in my timeline it’s good times
time is now
time’s my time
sometimes
it takes times two you know?
the cost, plus times to go
the I Fear is drawing nigh
I’ll make some time
I would not take time to make time for anyone but you
this time you’ll know
minute, by minute, might have spent
heaven-sent
not an accident
sooner or later it will be
too pitiful, 2-D
a fall too steep to dream
new time’s past before too long to long for
why beg for more?
it takes times two you know?
the cost, plus times to go
the I Fear is drawing nigh
I’ll make some time
I would not take time to make time for anyone but you
this time you’ll know
my timeline is my timeline
fits my time line in good time

On The Way

you’ve been dear to me on the way
let it fly, testified in person
I’ve yet to know why
edit my endorsement
keep the night alone
know when
I like nowhere
hide there
ask anyone at all we know
polite kicks gone
decay, KO, cannot do you
try to want
you’ve been dear to me on the way
let it fly, testified in person
mislead to make high
get at my endorphins
keep the night alone
know when
I like nowhere
hide there
ask anyone at all we know
polite kicks gone
decay, KO, cannot do you
try to want

Sky Blue
03:52
|

have any fun?
play the toy
hurt anyone
sky blue
forget a care
toss the dice
be anywhere
sky blue too
the win-a-star past is gone
let any man you wish to state the name here that he won it on
a lock, a knot, a link in a chain
do right a wrong
gore may stay with you
the sky was blue
pig in a pen
flash the lights
clean an oven
sky blue
get up and go
life’s a slice
a miracle
sky blue too
prefer a far place to be
pathetic try forsakes the risk to cry tears forbid honesty
one two can hit or misfit attain
do come along
fortress things to do
the sky was blue
the sky was blue above them
the voice lilting
you may come near tonight
the sky was blue above them
hear the voice lilting
come away
hear the voice say come near tonight
blue is the sky
at anytime
just anyone
they can die
to save a life too kind
blind eye
when can I come near tonight?
blue as the sky
ships go by
can anyone deny
to save a life too kind
blind eye
spot too tight
trip delight
divine mai tai rite
a big fight
a light to fly by
come near to night-time

you scratch your back
I’ll scratch my eye out
put world war II on, cry
brute-force face-fort
freeway car
skyway truthport’s favorite star
assuming you are a friend to yourself
a path to walk on through personal hell
whatever the odds, find escape inside the sound
of every heart I know of
the ancient’s pride
fright’s passage within
dead or alive this planet will spin
weaved-in through it also/all sew
a needle pulling thread
la-ti-do-re-mi
I pull through in the end
you scratch your back
I’ll scratch my eye out -
put world war II on, cry
bread-break meal-share
meet my wife
credo, sanctus, call it a life
is that all?
the sum of the parts, do run out of steam
it ends how it starts, asleep in a dream
how clever we are, we’ll fool ourselves I bet
are we better off?
can we be sure or not?
the ancient’s pride
fright’s passage within
dead or alive this planet will spin
as if in any way I’d choose it for myself
accept it in faith’s art’s no longer in doubt
try, try only to find hell, heaven’s gate, or dust
do you
