Sadness
A fleeting tear rolls down her mind's eye
And then she's light and laughing again
as always
Occasional
storms cross her consciousness; dark, black
then leave her
light and laughing again,
as always.

No Place
03:17
|

Hiding away in exile,
lying lifeless.
In a dust covered cigar box,
lying lifeless.
A plastic flute used to serenade the trees,
A candle stub used to light the dark,
And a broken crayon used to draw the sky.
There is no place in a world
filled with responsibilities
for such meaningless toys.
No place

Judgment Day Boogie
04:12
|

Why should I worry when problems come along to me?
Sure they flow like rivers, but I make them out as big as seas.
Tossin' seas.
When you feel like moss on the rolling stone, just grab his hand.
My house is built on the solid rock, I took it off the shifting sand.
Shifting sand.
Don't you look around when he asks you to join the band.
'Cause every knee shall bow, don't you be thinking that you will stand.
You won't stand.
Why should I put my trust in things that will fade way?
'Cause where the tree falls it lies, and there it stays.
On the judgment day.

What you so worried 'bout a God if he isn't there?
Madalyn O'Hair
If he doesn't exist, then what do you care?
Madalyn O'Hair
I give you an answer that you say is ignorant,
but where's the words of wisdom flowing from your mouth?
All I hear is firm conviction 'bout how things are not.
So gimme the answers, 'cause I'm waiting to hear.
Ease my aching mind that's so filled with fear.
G-g-g-gimme my rights Mr. ACLU;
I feel I'm going under and I don't know what to do.
Should I have a talk with my buddy Zen?
Does it lie in the being of us perfect men?
'Cause ever since you told us we were wrong,
we've been waiting for something better to come along.

Time
03:42
|

The time has come
don't pass it by
it won't stay
for a long time
Take advantage
opportunity awaits
but only for a limited time
because it is time
Time to talk
talk about things
things that mean a lot
a lot of things take time
I don't want
want to repeat
repeat things said
already
CHORUS
But it
it is time
time to live
and a time to die
time to faint
and a time to fly, but
spend no time asking reasons why
So say
say what you must
get it out
while there's time
Time to speak
time to talk
time to say things
time for communications
CHORUS

So Many Times
03:04
|

So many times, I've been unfaithful to you
All of the time, you brought me through
You give me wisdom, but I haven't been true
You give me love, but I break the rules.
I guess that's what true love is
I guess that's what true love is
The world has its wisdom, it has its noise
You're free to your speech, but you'll lose your voice
You didn't make me, you gave me the choice
The angels can sing, but they can't rejoice
I guess that's what freedom is
I guess that's what freedom is
You gave me yourself, I didn't want you at all
Why'd you stay around for my fall
How can you love me, while I turn my back
I guess it's a lesson in the patience I don't have
I guess that's what forgiving is
I guess that's what forgiving is

Talk

When will there be enough time
to hear you out, and express myself, too?
Everyone is speaking together
but no one is getting through
I make a mad rush of words
'til I'm blue in the face,
but there's no time in between
so you can't feel my space
And even if we set aside a Saturday
we'd have a table full of food
and nothing to say
We make a rush with the knives
we try to see the other side
but what we do tomorrow
changes what we say tonight
And I won't stop till I know you
though it takes my life
when everything's been said
I'll be satisfied
I've got no time
no time left for you
I'm on my way
so they say
to better things
And I swear some day
I'll break out of this skin
to be the weightless fire
that I should have been
Only then can you know me as I really am
as we start off where we left off
and try it again

There I Go Again
04:49
|

I
how many times will I have to try?
I’m giving up hope again
It’s all a joke again
We
are young but getting old before our time
Does it make sense to you?
as I’m riding that fence with you?
In these foolish games we play
Mind’s eye searches for the way
There I go again
the original sin
Why?
Loneliness with hands possesses me
and my body shakes once more
a thousand retakes once more
and I’d cry
liquid apologies enough for two
but tears don’t come nor do regrets
I can’t feel my guilt, but I can’t forget.
Dancing shadows show the way
I can’t pin down what’s been portrayed
There I go again
the original sin
I
debate the person in my head
While serpents speak again
knowledge makes me weak again
But I rise,
though shame dulls my blind eyes
I have to try once more
I have to find the door
Between the glory and the flame
I sweat for knowledge without name
There I go again
the original sin

Can't Live
03:20
|
|||
For a long time, I’ve felt so down and out
I had to find what this was all about
I didn’t feel much, but I didn’t have to
‘cause if I could feel you, then what’s my faith do?
And living just a day without you
confusing as my eyes not open
leaves me scared, and leaves me hoping
that you’ll never leave me lonely
I can’t live
live without you
I can’t live
live anymore
They told me one thing, and did another
bad examples fill the mind with doubt
but then the time came do for my decision
I’ve thought it over and I’ve made up my mind
And now I make my come back
I’m stepping up and stepping out
they’ve been keeping me down under
now I’m up and they’ll never stop me
I can’t live
live without you
I can’t live
live anymore
