Hey baby this is not a challenge
It just means that I love you As much as I always said I did I was wrong I have been laughable wrong Sandpaper paper marche chalk And hung out wet On the city and your skin now I didn’t have to be afraid I didn’t have to feel so stupid I can see myself I can feel That just the slightest bit of finesse Might have made a little less mess But it was what it was Let’s all get on with it now Discoverer! Discoverer! Discoverer! Laughing Discover! Uh~! Floating across Houston This is where I am I see the city rise up tall The opportunities and possibilities I have never felt so called Remember the vodka espresso Night of discovery Remember that Laughing Discover Oh how I look back and reflect How I felt it How it set I don’t have to feel so wrong now I wake up dreaming saffron Turmeric and brass That just the slightest bit of finesse Might have made a little less mess But it was what it was Let’s all get on with it now Discoverer! Discoverer! Discoverer! Discoverer! |

The kids have a new take
a new take on faith Pick up the pieces get carried away I came home to city half erased I came home to face what we faced This place needs me here to start This place is the beat of my heart Oh my heart Oh my heart (oh my heart) Oh my heart Oh my heart (oh my heart) Storm didn't kill me the government changed Hear the answer call hear the song rearranged Hear the tress, the ghosts and the buildings sing with the wisdom to reconcile this thing It's sweet and it's sad and it's true How it doesn't look bitter on you Oh, my heart Oh, my heart (Oh, my heart) Oh, my heart Oh, my heart (Oh, my heart) Mother and father I stand beside you The good of this world might help see me through This place needs me here to start This place is the beat of my heart Oh, my heart Oh, my heart (Oh, my heart) Oh, my heart Oh, my heart (Oh, my heart) |

This is a terrible This is a terrible thing Yes I will rhyme that after- after all I’ve done today I have earned my wings It happened today Hooray! Hooray! It happened. Hip, hip, hooray! We’ll leave the allegory to a different Bible story Out of deference- defiance- the choice Closing on a promise after- after all I’ve done today I have earned my voice It happened today Hooray! Hooray! It happened.. Hip, hip, hooray! Ah.. |

Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn I have got, have got a lot to learn. I feel like an autopilot. I'm heroic strong and silent. I feel like a rage coming under my hood, I feel good and calm like a robot would. I feel like an autopilot I feel like an autopilot I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn I have got, have got a lot to learn (I feel like a contradiction I'm a walking science-fiction I don't know whichever way to turn I have got, have got, have got a lot of lot to burn!) If I didn't like the way you stared at me. If I didn't like the way you stared at me! I could knock the sideways, I could knock you blind I could show you found to the lost and find. I am not an agitator I feel like an alligator Climbing up the escalator... Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn I have got, have got a lot to learn (You've so much to learn, you've got a lot to learn) |

With the restraint of New Order covers,
young marble giants I sat quietly waiting For someone else to make the first move Someone has to make the first move That someone is you That someone is you That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand Pulled me up and out of me! And with the fury lock of Sharon Stone Casino Scarface, Al Pacino '74 Torino Waiting for someone else to make the first move Someone has to make the first move That someone is you That someone is you That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand Pulled me up and out of me Pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand Pulled me up and out of me |

We live and dream about the future
Please ask Neil, I need to pow wow, now Sift through the annals of our flavored times Our heroes and all their fatal flaws Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I, sing Lay me down, down, down, down Lay me down, down, down, down, down Help me off to sleep Take me deep again We live and dream about our heroes I listened closely, and I said, "I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend I might pawn the gold rings instead" The winners write the rule books The histories and lullabies. Lay me down, down, down, down Lay me down, down, down, down, down Help me off to sleep (down, down, down) Take me deep again (down, down, down) I heard what you said (Lay me down, down, down, down) I picture brass rings in your head (Lay me down, down, down, down) While gold and bronze are... bon bons (down, down, down) Brass is mixed with lead (down, down, down) |

Feels circus left the stakes a broken ropes useless mud
The ties that bind, ha ha I can be bad poet Street poet Shit poet Kind poet too Subway Almost 4AM Halloween night I've had enough to drink to make my own party All my fellow riders in half costume, half asleep Half silly, gone to seed I don't mark my time with dates, holidays, faded wisdom, locked karma, whatever's Convenient I am made by my times I am a creation of now Shaken with the cracks and crevices I'm not giving up easy I will not fold I don't have much But what I have is gold (I saw your face You drift in snow And I drift in snow) I sing in platinum I dress in brass I eat in zinc Let it pass Compare a toast I like that I understand courage I still roll with the shout of a character I was married to today I try to see outside myself I understand the eyes Excuse all the highs Sorry I am sorry Ha ha (What have we learned I like your face) I like you, love you, every coast of you. I've seen your eddies and tides and hurricanes and cyclones. Low ebb tide and high, full moon. Up close and distant. I read you like the sky, the sea, the ocean, the sun, the moon. Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue blue, blue, blue, blue, blue. Naked and blue. (Naked and blue Breathing with you) Breathing with you. Touch. Change. Shift. Allow air. Window open. Drift. Drift away. Into now. I want Whitman proud. Patti Lee proud. My brothers proud. My sisters proud. I want me. I want it all. I want sensational. Irresistible. This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive. Living Blessed I understand Twentieth century Collapse Into Now PATTI: Cinderella boy You've lost your shoe Cinderella boy (Blue, blue, blue, blue...) Your coach awaits (Blue, blue, blue, blue...) I saw its shadow (Blue, blue, blue, blue...) All over your face (Blue, blue, blue, blue...) As you sit (Blue, blue, blue, blue...) Naked and blue (Blue, blue, blue, blue...) Into me ... Discoverer! Discoverer! Discoverer! Discoverer! Discoverer! |
