I won't break this
It took so long to make this
The life I lead is getting through to me
I won't take this
It took so long to get rid of this
Anything is everything to me
What a step in time
Running after you
I don't know where you are
And I can't seem to catch you
I want you to know me
The pain that greets me
is the stick that beats me
Solid dream
Hope isn't what it seems
Words I can't miss is the song that sings you
Missing friend tomorrow is the End
What a step in time
find my place in life
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye...
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize I couldn't breathe holdin' me down
Hand on my face kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged united by fear
'Posed to endure what I could not forgive...
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things
Clearer
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you...
Rearview mirror
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
watching terrible tv
it kills all thought
Getting spacier than
An astronaut
Making out with people
I hardly know or like
I can't believe what i do
Late at night
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
Only when we get to see
The aerial view
Will the patterns show
We'll know what to do
I know the last page so well
I can't read the first
So i just don't start
It's getting worse
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view
To be a me with a you
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
Of course i'll be alright
I just had a bad night
All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah
Your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity

*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*

Maybe you could have smiled once?
back there
you were all cut-distant-tenseness
cold, metallic, ready rejection
there I was hoping for a smile
but saw a strong rope turned hair-sharp-wire
how it looked, hurt
Just give me a smile
no more cold-cut-steel
just send me a kiss
no more hair-thin-wire
won't you bring me your warm arms?
put the gorilla gun away?
I want trust and love for my New Year
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
And I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters
This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
Oh honey sweet
So full of sleep
I'm backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So you're backtracking
Ah ah ah
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our, ah
You fell into a
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods

Intense silence, as she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing....
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes..., more sound than she,
and black moons in those eyes of hers...
made more sense to me....
Heavy persuasion, it was hard to breathe
she was dark at the top of the stairs
and she called to me....
And so I followed, as friends often do...
I cared not for love, nor Money
I think she knew...
The people, they love her and still they are the most - cruel....
She asked me, be my sister, sister of the moon
some say illusions are her game...
they like to wrap her in velvet
Does anyone know her Name ??!!!.............
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up North...
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
with every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
with every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be
(All your christmases be white)
(All your christmases be white)
drivin in your car,
oh please don't drop me home....
coz its not my home its their home
and i'm not welcome no more.......
and if a double decker bus, crashes into us...
to die by your side,
is such a heavenly way to die..
and if a ten ton truck,
kills the both of us....
to die by your side,
well the pleasure, the privelidge is mine...
there is a light that never goes out
there is a light that will never go out
there is a light that will never go out
there is a light that never goes out...
What will we do to become famous and dandy,
just like Amos 'n' Andy
It's quite a spectacle
to see us land in
waste receptacles
as if we've planned it
We're never skeptical
when we get branded
Then disrespectful
cause we feel abandoned
The height of mediocrity
is the challenge
Crawling through the entrails
of imbalance
We learn to like to be the heroes
We learn to lie to the brand name negroes
We learn to laugh to avoid being angry
We learn to kill and learn to go hungry
We learn not to feel, for protection
and we learn to flaunt when we get an erection..........Michael Franti

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I took your breath
Sometimes love is better off dead
"To question your government is not unpatriotic --
to not question your government is unpatriotic."

You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye...

Unless the moonlight's great
Or on a starry night
I just might miss you
A little bit
I don't miss you anymore
Unless it's a cloudy day
Or if the sun shines bright
I just might miss you
Now and then
I don't miss you
'Till the morning fills the air
Or the afternoon is fair
Or the evening light is barely there
I don't miss you
And you know it's not a lie
Unless the moon is floating
High above
A perfect midnight sky
I don't miss you
'Till the morning fills the air
Or the afternoon is fair
Or the evening light is barely there
I don't miss you
And you know it's not a lie
Unless the moon is floating

Unless i close my eyes
Especially open wide
I see
I miss you every day
