8: Dancing Nancies
could i have been
a parking lot attendant
could i have been
a millionaire in bel air
could i have been
lost somewhere in paris
could i have been
your little brother
could i have been anyone other than me
could i have been oh, anyone other than me
could i have been anyone
he stands touch his hair his shoes untied
tongue gaping stare
could i have been a magnet for money
could i have been anyone other than me
twenty three
i'm so tired of life
such a shame to throw it all away
the images grow darker still
could i have been anyone other then me?
then i
look up at the sky
my mouth is open wide, like and taste
what's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
turn turn we almost become dizzy
i am who i am who i am well who am i
requesting some enlightenment
could i have been anyone other than me?
and then i'll
sing and dance and i'll play for you tonight
the thrill of it all
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
but i'll work it out
and then i
falling out of a world of lies
could i have been dancing nancy
dancing nancy
could i have been anyone other than me?
9: Warehouse
see i'm leaving
this warehouse frightens me
has me tied up in knots
can't rest for a moment
soom i'm going i'm slippin' slow away
hoping to find something better than
i've got inside of here
the warehouse slips away
hey reckless mind
don't throw away your playful beginning
you and i will fumble around in the touches
and be sure to
leave all the lights on
so we can see the black cat changing colors
and we can walk under the ladders
and swim as the tide turns you around and around
hey we have found
becoming one in a million
slip into the crowd
this question if found in a gap in the sidewalk
keep al lyour sights on
he the black cat changing colors
and you can walk under ladders
and swim as the tide choose to turn you
and here is it
life goes on, end of tunnel, tv set
spot in the middle
state fade, statistical bit
and soon i'll fade away, i'll fade away
this i admit
taste so good, hard to believe an end to it
smell touch feel
how could this rhythm ever quit
bags packed on a plane
hopefully to heaven
shut up i'm thinking
i had a clue now it's gone forever
sitting over these bones
you can read in whatever you're needing to
keep all your sights on
yeah man, the black cat
changing colors
when it's not the colors that matter
but that they'll all fade away
this i admit
seems so good
hard to believe an end to it
warehouse is bare
nothing at all inside of it
walls and halls have disappeared
my love i love to stay here
my love i love to stay here
in a corner was wondering
if a change could be better than this
and then i worry
maybe things won't be better than they have been
here in the warehouse
at the warehouse
how i love to stay here
at the warehouse
every man and woman
get alive
that's our blood down there
seems poured from the hands of angels
but trickle into the ground
leaves the warehouse bare and empty
my heart's numbered beat
still echoe in this empty room
fear wells in me
but nothing seems enough to defend
so i am going away
10: Tripping Billies
we were above
you standing underneath us
we were not yet lovers
dragons were smoked
bumblebees were stinging us
i was soon to be crazy
eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we die
'cause we're tripping billies
we're wearing nothing
nothing but out shadows
shadows falling down on the beach sand
remembering once,
out on the beaches we wore
pineapple grass bracelets
so why would you care
to get out of this place
you and me and all our freinds
such a happy human race
'cause we're tripping billies
we are all sitting
legs crossed round a fire
my yellow flame she dances
tequila drinking oh our
minds will wonder
to wonderous places
so why would you care
to get out of this place
you and me and all our friends
such a happy human race
eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we die
11: Drive In, Drive Out
say, all you sisters and brothers
all matters if i divide us so
our own political words they ponder us so...
this side, that side
right, wrong... driving me back
drive in drive out, i'm leaving
i come back again
i'm leaving...
hell has it's own place, we carry on....
well, everyone sit inside, watch what's going on
well, as you will drive in, and drive us apart.
don't trust words that delight us or
get into my heart... yeah....
ohh ah ah leah ho... i run away, run away
run away guy, run away guy,
run out, run out...
you and me sister, sometimes i feel you figure it all out.
you and me sister, oh, we've got it right.
our differences, differences, mother and in cold life,
why must i steadfast, stand by what i think is right?
oh drive in drive out, i'm leaving
drive in drive out, i'll come back again
drive in drive out, i'm leaving
hell has a place for everyone, it's here: alone.
oh, the devil he's not hiding underground, he's waiting by your front door
well, tv men take you away, rock up your world
too many won't leave you alone, drive you alone
man, when i'm going back again, light in some peace....yeah...
12: Lover Lay Down
spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
slip into my lover's hands
kiss me won't you kiss me now
and sleep i would inside yoru mouth
don't be us too shy
knowing it's no big surprise
that i will wait for you
i will wait for no one but you
oh please lover lay down
spend this time with me
together share this smile
lover lay down
spend this time with me
walk with me, walk with you

by my lover's side
together share this smile

'til we dance away
chasing me all around
leading me all around
leading me all around in circles
say.......
13: Rhyme & Reason
Oh well oh well so here we stand
but we stand for nothing
my heart calls to me in my sleep
how can i turn to it
'cause i'm all locked up in this
dark place--
and i do not know i'm as good as dead
my head aches--
warped and tied up i need to kill this pain
my head won't leave my head alone
and i don't believe it will
until i'm dead and gone
my head won't leave my head alone
and i don't believe it willl
until i'm six feet under gound
how long i'm tied up
my mind in knots--
my stomach reels in concern for what i might do or
what i've done
it's got me living in fear
well i know these voices must
be my sould i've had my grave
lying wired and shut and quiet in my grave
leave me here
leave it to me to waste here
so young and here i am again
talking to myself
a tv blares
oh man
oh how i wish i didn't smoke
or drink to reason with my head
but sometimes this thick confusion
grows utnil i cannot bear it all
needle to the vein
needle to the vein
take this needle from my vein my fiend
i said
in my grave
lying, lying cold in my grave
the reason--my reason
take my head off this terror
the fearing won't come back
i can't see my mind's all wiped clean
the needle
make my great escape
i seem caught in time
my head leaves me behing
body fall cold
and i have seen heaven
14: #36
[ ] yeah yeah i scream...
with you on my mind so heavy and so hard
i don't know quite everything
you make me think of a better thing
better things to fill my day with
but they don't mean to go
please don't be too bad with me, god
please don't be too good...
let some women's light, women's light
chain my hands with me singing
hani hani, come and dance for me
whoa, whoa, sooner there
hani hani, come and dance for me
only the brave
hani hani, come and dance for me
[feeling the night]
hani hani coem and dance for me
lead me back home to life
you made heaven turn to dirt
and dirt turn to dance on
heaven come my way
baby surely do
maybe some moonlight
maybe some, baby surely do
maybe some moonlight
say this say this...
hani hani, come and dance for me
underneath the moonlight
hani hani come and dance for me
hani hani, come and dance for me
come on, come on go
hani hani, come and dance for me
give it back, give it back....
oh man, i can't talk
a man was tall and once tore a piece of freedom for us all
when, then, you least expect it
han can cut from of his own heart
for us all, that man
don't believe it, oh yeah....
god, two men slice and dice eachother up in his place
they don't believe it...
well leave it
leave it lying, leave it lying, leave it lying
got me singing
hani hani, come and dance for me
15: Ants Marching
he wakes up in the morning
does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
never changes a thing
the week ends the week begins
she thinks, we look at each other
wondering what the other is thinking
but we never say a thing
these crimes between us grow deeper
goes to visit his mommy
she feeds him well his concerns
he forgets them
and remembers being small
playing under the table and dreaming
take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down, you up and die
driving in on this highway
all these cars and upon the sidewalk
people in every direction
no words exchanged
no time to exchange
and all the little ants are marching
red and black antennas waving
they all do it the same
they all do it the same way
candyman teasing the thoughts of a
sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
programs cutting the corners
loose end, loose end, cut, cut
on the fence, could not to offend
cut, cut, cut, cut
take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down, you up and die
16: Typical Situation
ten fingers we have each
nine planets around the sun repeat
eight ball is the last if you triumphant be
seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
it's a typical situation
in the typical times
too many choices
everybody's happy
everybody's free
we'l keep the big door open
everyone'll come around
why are you different
why are you that way
if you don't get in line
we'll lock you away
it all comes down to nothing
six senses feeling
five around a sense of self
four season turn on and turn off
i can see
three corners from this corner
two is a perfect number
but one
everybody's happy
everybody's free
we'll keep the big door open
and everyone'll come around
why are you different
why areyou that way
if you don't step in line
we'll lock you away
it's a typical situation
in these typical times
we can't do thing about it
17: All Along The Watchtower
There must be some way out of here,
Said the joker to the theif.
There's too much confusion
i can't get nooooooo relief
Business men they,
drink my wine.
There plowmen dig my earth.
None of them along the line
know what any of it's worth.
No reason to get excited,
the theif he kindly spoke.
There are many among us,
who feel that life is but a joke (Ha Ha- Ha ha)
But you and I we've been through all that,(Yes we have)
and this is not our fate.
So let us not talk falsly,
the hour is getting laaaaaate
And All along the Watchtower,
prince's kept the view.
While all the women all the women all the women came and went
Barefoot servatnts too.
Out side in the cold distance,
a wild cat did growl la la la la la
Two riders two riders approaching,
the wind began to howwwwwllll
The theif he take
my money take
The theif he take
my money take
Am I insane
Auf Wiedersehen
Am I insane
The theif is safe
NO REASON TO GET EXCITED! (YEAH!....)
