Catch me as an animal
And now gone kissing But soon be missing home And waving at waterfalls Too strong not to mention With tempting extentions unknown Oh, this time I really mean that A cracking coat where I dig that Oh, this time I want to keep it alone Oh, this time I really trust you But it can't belong to anyone And I'd be so sad if I lost it And the courage seekers Of the aborted logo Of declaration “no go” are gone But I'll keep a light for ‘em Hold down the fort for ‘em And wear my maroon blazer all the time Oh, this time I really mean that A cracking coat where I dig that Oh, this time I want to keep it alone Oh, this time I really trust you But it can't belong to anyone And I'd be so sad if I lost it Oh, this time I really mean that A cracking coat where I dig that Oh, this time I want to keep it alone Oh, this time I really trust you But it can't belong to anyone And I'd be so sad if I lost it Oh, this time I really mean that A cracking coat where I dig that Oh, this time I want to leave it alone Oh, this time I really trust you But it can't belong to anyone And I'd be so sad if I lost it |

I am a tree, I show my age when I don't cry
I have the leaf that will fall off when wind blows by Don't strip off my bark, I have been stripped of it before ‘Cause yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store You are a bird, you're taking off in every way Save the last word till there is nothing more to say Don't interrupt, you know the squirrels are my friends Get off my limb, for I will break before I bend I'm planning to see I'm planning to feel you all over me So climb up my trunk and build on your nest Come get the sap out of me I am a tree Fruitless and free No symmetry Touch me and see I am a tree, counting my rings will do no good I won't live long, but I would be with you if I could When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there Since you have flown, there's something special in the air I'm planning to see I'm planning to feel you all over me So climb up my trunk and build on your nest Come get the sap out of me I am a tree Fruitless and free No symmetry Touch me and see I am a tree, yeah Fruitless and free, yeah No symmetry, yeah |

Firmly rooted and quite hellbent
The old grunt packs up the hose And pokes his nose through the old trunk trap Hurts from years of concentration Spent in the umpires association Talking 'bout the next sensation Up and coming But now he's strumming A buzzing one-stringer Always quite a singer Did his wife in the dueling banjos.... |

I played the part
I played the start I made a table out of clay I placed my hands Upon the plans I waited for a proud display I played around I heard the sound Of certain trouble on the way I got bulldog skin I got bulldog skin I took a car I drove it far I dug the quality of steel I crashed my nerve I made it swerve I made it back, was no big deal I tasted blood A date with scud And now I don't know how to feel ‘Cause I got bulldog skin I got bulldog skin All right, get wild I got bulldog skin I got bulldog skin I got bulldog skin I got bulldog skin |

Near a distant sea
Her clear yellow eyes Are opening to pink and black skies And soon they are blinking With compound camera eyes Are you faster Than the eyes of the car-people? Styled in silver Are you able to roam Faster then the lighthouse keeper credits you? |

I am pressed, printed, stomped
And strategically removed I am everybody Insane without innocence I am trapped, tricked, packaged And shipped out I am produced I am produced I am produced I am produced (Pressed, printed, stomped, tripped) I am produced (Trapped, tricked, packaged, shipped) |

Militant babies came to me
And told me, “Don't be afraid to try” Phenomenal stunt kids in the streets Popping out of the black ghost pie Fearless ones, cracked up Jack and Jill They're down there in the bunker still You look like a sniper anyway I'm not behind the fighter jet I'd much rather back a simple girl I've seen your plan and it's all wet A noseload of prophecies coming to me Caught in the trap where bravery steps A wounded mercenary bleeds In the hall of fantastically fine things Where the path of glory leads Lately I think it's grown too hard Coming up with the winning card But who's gonna beat them in their own backyard? I'm not behind the fighter jet I'd much rather back a simple girl I've seen your plan and it's all wet A noseload of prophecies coming to me |

Days into weeks
She rattled my mind We stayed out all week And got happy this time She fills empty space I kinda need it that way Crybaby says bye to me I can't imagine that all our troubles will go away But I could catch her and break the falls I could snatch her with beaks and claws Today when every “fake it” decides to make it They just can't take it away Shove it, ‘cause I'll just stay Like an ugly unwanted stray Don't care what you say |

In the silver waters
We race each new morning In the vegetable stream Long live the dream The mightiest toughman leads Into the skeleton forest On cold ass western wheels The one of whom we speak: A very hollow cheek |

They should never take you away
Not with all the little lines you say Especially when you make them laugh Come with me, believe in what you're making me Baby, out of sadness there is pain But your barrage of little lines is making me Change now Change Philosophers and critics of the play We're listening hard to every word we say Especially when it makes us laugh Come with me, believe in what you're making me Baby, out of sadness there is pain But your barrage of little lines is making me Change now Change Come with me, believe in what you're making me Baby, out of sadness there is pain But your barrage of little lines is making me Change now Change Change now Change |

You are a child reaching out brave and true
For big things in the next room, and I Couldn't step into such open sky Along the crest of uncertainty you loom I'm learning to hunt for you I'm learning to hunt for you Say that you'll never run too far away Even with all the answers out there Where it's brighter, but no one will care Half as much as I care about you I'm learning to hunt for you I'm learning to hunt for you |

Mother, feeling your hand I
Believe you and I did then And mother, release every bad seed The geese are leaving the trees Exposed to winter's cold They waited too long But we too exaggerated And I take the cake away It's a long song And I can play it so Give me a pick now Collector of bones Words of smoke Distorted, never broken Paradise is open but I choke One of these days when I see through the smoke There'll be the day I get the joke Exposed to winter's cold They waited too long But we too exaggerated And I take the cake away It's a long song And I can play it so Give me a pick now Collector of bones Words of smoke Distorted, never broken Paradise is open but I choke One of these days when I see through the smoke There'll be the day I get the joke |

Blessed is the way to a man's heart
Quite so even out of dreadlock But the bastard of an ex-warhorse kicks And I smiled like an electric child (A sign reading: Welcome To New Limited Dimensions) |

There is no boy in me now
There is no time and I'm alone But I am only breathing Breathing around I get involved with your crowd They make me feel so alone If you could only see me When I'm around But this is you and this is war It makes me drink even more And I'll have fun then I'll make a mark on you I'll tell you all that I am How simple feet will walk for free Until you injure me again This is you and this is war It makes me drink even more And I'll have fun then I'll make a mark on you I'll tell you all that I am How simple feet will walk for free Until you injure me again |

Jane of the waking universe
Jane of the waking universe A wrinkled rose snapped back, and the flies on flowers Spreading out to all sickness of humanity Listen to our queen as she is offering free samples Of her lovely garden spoils Jane of the waking universe Jane of the waking universe And undulating always, like the tide, the devil's bride Is calling all toward her skirt And in the loving folds there we will hide inside From any would-be sneak attack Until it's safe to journey back Jane of the waking universe Jane of the waking universe Jane of the waking universe Jane of the waking universe |

It's too late now
She's got me dreaming Without you there is no truth According to me Inside and around me Tears got me drinking Without you there is no scope In the morning for me One of these days in the night Old enemies will come back to fight And since you would then disagree We will be skinned alive When full-colored kings arrive And teach them we will all we know Bring popcorn for Geronimo And dance with our freshly made friends Ignoring the old ones The boring and cold ones And when the colossus crawls west Jazz bastards will fall and confess We all love you so and your rock Is paradise plastic It's cheap and fantastic It's too late now |

I see them in the dark
Fairy wings are green Chemical minx disguises Significant pink UFO I'm not up there Approach me now We hope these cables will serve you well We hold these truths and they're not to sell I'm not up there Approach me now |

Here I go around the blame
Here I go with hand over flame Down on the floor at nine o'clock A scene not fully recognized At precisely nine o'clock Here I go with clapping hands Here I go with “still no plans” Illuminate the mystery The film is not for view The film is not for you |
