Desperate Living

We want to turn everything around She's a real writer and say goodnight-er She's a sadist of a believer I'm not a bridge, I'm not the bay I'm not a car, taxi or train I'm not a power tool or a construction crew I'm not the weapon simple or mass device Just a man with two hands What should I do when you walk out? I dress in white Become Cloudwalker I want to scan the crowd And point to where the rain flows I'm a white cloud I'm a white cloud We've got clouds in our heads Dreams in our skies We never say goodbye What should I do when you walk out? We have soft clouds in our heads We have dreams in our skies We never say goodbye I AM THE SKY DON'T ASK WHY I FEEL IT AS I FEEL MY BREATH DEEP INSIDE I'M A RIDE HIGHER A TRIED TRIER A NEVER GIVE UP VICTORY FIGHT IGNITER Row after row after row Row after row after row Sentinel trees go SHE'S A DREAM BOOMER A NEVER TOO SOONER A 3D TREE RIGHT BEFORE ME FALLING IN THE SEWER SHE'S A ROCK-SLIDE A ROCKET IN THE SKY A PLANE CRASHING TO THE EARTH AND EVERYONE WHO DIED I'M A COUNTDOWN TICK MOVING QUITE QUICK TWO LOVERS CONFESSING A TRYST SHE'S A THUNDERSTORM SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN AND SHE BEAT-BEAT-BEATS LIKE THE HEART OF A WAR Row after row after row Row after row after row Sentinel trees go I'm looking down on trees Let's not let this moment... be the same

A play folds out on the forest floor I bought a one way ticket back to July Quantum Theory Breathless Yet... Discorporate We are alive We are hostages Held for ransom By a gentleman ghost We are alive living day to day Building bridges and statues If I read the whole book What would I say? Now there's no mystery Just a bunch of pages Crumpled yesterdays ...and I'm not so sure we are together on this anymore It's like... Like nothing Matters Oh, but it does Woefully At peace We start to eat the seeds Hungry enough to eat tomorrow TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW Listen breakers And listen bucks These are the one-rail hooks You're looking through garbage The wealth and filth of our dreams Outro: Human goals are like the numbers plumbed from the pipes of life. I'm a plumber, but what I plumb is the fruit of infinity. I'm deeper than infinity. So infinite, I make infinity look like a four!

Sorry for the scales and scabs on my skin My fists break And I just can't take it Sorry for the sores and holes in my heart There's no love or life for either of us You are alone and living in the desert Finding time to accept I'm sorry I'm a fucking monster I'm sorry I wasn't there but I think that something was I was in love I still believe I am These stony fingers steal from you When these damned arms draw you in Won't look at me Won't speak to me I am sorry you rotted like the waste of the vine Even flesh and blood Even heart and bone Now open your eyes And now say it I'm the broken lamp man with the telephone injuries My apologetic arms want to sing you to sleep You dry heave when I ring and I ring You knew I was broken and you got what you wanted You got what you wanted I'm certain that the cats are still hungry I wasn't there but I know that something was I was in love I'm sorry that you're dead

Look into the light What do you see? Yellow burns orange -- now blue and green Phantoms in your vision over all that you see The damage is done to your desperate life But you love the feeling and won't be denied Once is enough The moment passes Echoes and rings You see the color You hear the song sing 1 - 2 - 3 H THE B HORSE THE BAND! Like a meteor strike! Atomizing everything in a sphere of light Like a lion attack! Teeth and claws covered with the meat of your back It cuts you up just to try How do you sleep at night? It cuts me up every time and I don't know why Come on! Come on! Come on! This is like an earthquake! Find you balance and start to shake Come on! Come on! Come on! Like an exploding sun... everything is done... It cuts you up just to try How do you sleep at night? It cuts me up every time and i don't know why Living at the top When you're at the fucking bottom

Science and technology to formulate my theory That your D.N.A. is the D.N.A. of something strange and amazing We are The Science Police Lay face down on the ground We are The Science Police We monitor and apprehend You've got me searchin' These city streets These filthy alleys These quantum leaps You've got me callin' in emergency!

Pushing, thrusting bulbs into the light A peasant thought starts its flight From reason and from fact A peasant thought Grows two legs Opens up its heart An absurd courtship Oh, dear Oh, oh dear What has become of hesitation? Oh, dear Oh, oh dear Did the mosquito's bite bring me down? She said, "Let's sing the crippling song" Her lips always ate moments like days And I was not prepared I was gone And I was not prepared To let my guard down So I fed her the end The end of my spear We would throw rocks n' things into our well, ourselves as well We would ride to a Clack and kabik We would throw rocks n' things into our well, ourselves as well We would ride to a Clack and kabik Like dinosaurs Like dinosaurs Dropping into the darkness We sink You should have seen her At one with the gods She said, "Let's sing the cripple song" Then I was gone Oh dear, oh dear! Then I was gone Oh dear, oh dear! Then I was gone She said, "Let's sing the cripple song together" Then I was gone

I think I seem to be a mystery Even spied by the given eye I'm telling tales of memories Songs of birds softly outlined I feel strange Do you know me? I recognize those eyes There's something of me out there in between the trees but I don't believe I can give the thought the time I don't believe I can give the thought the time Puzzled with no peace I feel strange Do you know me? I recognize those eyes Something's coming over me like I've lost my mind but the world is open wide Doctor, doctor What's my status? Will I stand or will I fall? I can stand here blankly I can hold my breath I can even not exist at all Doctor, doctor Can you read me? You've said the signs and I've got them all Radio, radio Can you hear my swan song? Radio, radio Can you hear my swan song? I'm at it again I'm at it again I took my feet off I took my legs off I ripped my guts out I peeled my skin off I ripped my throat out I pulled my eyes out I ripped my heart out I took my face off

Wake up from etherian dreams - your song and your light return me to life I rise my rotting form - enthralled by your light Your golden, magnetic light! Your golden voice soured eternity - held in the grip of your gravity Why won't you let me sleep? What art thou who summons me? What art thou who summons me? I crawl - I creep I crumble back to sleep If I could die I would sleep Just let me sleep

She was looking for more than just a good time She needed a ramblin' man To make her feel alive In the streets of her heart Someone had arrived The Golden God of her dreams with blank porcelain eyes Sunken in the master's chair Lord Gold's face - a blank survey The fullest flush The sweetest surrender Pay attention as he pours... You can't ignore blood, stars and wine Expose your heart Show me where you're weak Kneel and beg for my healing Obsession sinks in You want more and more Of my wand of unyielding Open your heart to the world Bare your soul to your lord Expose your heart Show me where you're weak Kneel and beg for my healing Obsession sinks in You want more and more Of my wand of unyielding Lord Gold feeds from your orifices And he wants to see you sweat Lord Gold probes you publicly And makes your pussy wet Now say his name... LORD GOLD

A large man is feeling weak He sounds like a cavity I think he wants to scream, "Help me!" It's not enough Hot caviar breath and the weight of a chest Patterns of the cracks in the ground Can't get away A wolf is feeling weak Double sounds and double vision Water water water I'm going down I sound like a cavity I think I want to scream HARDER LOUDER Hot caviar breath the weight of a chest Patterns of the cracks in the ground Watership Down Worthless rings and golden fleeces Wortless fleeces and golden rings The beat is in the heart that decides Two black holes or warm human eyes Cold bricks hands and sad legs that won't stand What was it that the store front man said? What was it that he said? What was it that the morning man said? What was it that he said? What was it that the carpet man said? What was it that he said?

Pseudo - Squander Plummet Crunch On the feet of the gods do the endless munch Hunger Open - Whoosh... Wind BOOM The Ash Grey Door of Doom The moon is still The stars are... still The wind is still still But not completely gone The moon is still The stars are... still The wind is still still But not completely gone BOOM Black circles in the dust spinning on a wind deprived of its lust The sky above is bent and swings to the sound of silent things BOOM I can't have it all Flee the moment and the moment will find you I can't take this call but I can hear it I CAN HEAR IT I can't find the words Speak of the devil and the devil will find you I'm here but not at all BUT NOT AT ALL BOOM ...and we know that within our model of a human heart is doomed BOOM And still there is that gleaming silence underneath a gaping sky and an empty moon BOOM No need to operate to save my life The time is coming Quickly sliding soon So soon All the breaths in all the world Stop breathing And so consumed ARRIVE
