PATIENCE/IN-LIEU
05:28
|

patience waits at the foot of a grave,
smiling just a little too proud.
all of the trees have turned to see,
just how long she'll wait.
and when they come her work here is done,
all she had to do was wait.

TWISTED

a mind so big like a universe
here and gone like a flock of birds
but somewhere good between the dark and light
you find a place and you know it's right
you'll find a place and you'll know it
but I can't say
that I know how to go on in a material way
and I can't do
like all the others do when I know that you know
it's you and me
against the world and their twisted reality
words so long like a train
rollin' down the tracks, man made
and the wheels go round and round and round....
when will these arbitrary walls come down?
when can we say what's really floatin' around?
when can we listen without any sound?
feels so right but we'll take it slow
it's much too good not to let it grow on its own
but something happens when the moon comes out
i gotta have you and there ain't a doubt
what this pacin' is all about
i know you're lookin'
i know you're lookin' too
and who's to say
that they know how to go on in a material way
and how could we do
like all the others do when we know that we know
its you and me
against the world and their twisted reality

INFANCY
03:45

in the infancy of dawn
we'll be laying in the lawn
the oratorio of birds may forever be our song
the fire has made its last return
but still both ends of the cable burn
soaked in gin and the sleep we lack
the day ahead may break our back
making jokes only we would crack
but never would i take it back
in the infancy of this
i'll be living in our bliss
and for you to do too would be my only wish
never off always on
i'll get my rest when the lovin's gone
how in the world do we say goodbye
beneath the light of a newborn sky?
for today can only go downhill
when will i ever get my fill?
how could we ever have our fill?
why should ever have our fill?

DARKEST BEAUTY
03:31
|

|
her arrival will come today
on the radio they predicate
they say in stereo she won't be late
the darkest beauty in white
her motorcade will slow the streets
her parade will wet our feet
like an ovation wipers clap out a beat
for the darkest beauty in white
some folks, will simply fade away
just to protest, her cold and barren ways
if they, could only see this temporary beauty
in all her majesty
she'll guide you through the darkest
by the glow of her gown so white
and you shall plainly see
this fading beauty
in all her majesty
her arrival will come today
on the radio they predicate
they say in stereo she won't be late
the darkest beauty in white

BETTER YET
04:11
|

i was lying
in the basement of a double-wide
the only place i could find to hide
i was dying
to tell somebody that i loved them so
just anyone who cared to know
used to think that i changed with the leaves
then i saw how they changed with me
better yet
we change the same
i was flying
off to heaven in a velvet suit
my stomach bled and it bled right through
i was trying
to catch a vision of the earth in space
i'd never seen things quite that way
and i confirm that the light of the moon
is just the light of the sun
better yet
they're one
and time is only here and now
and otherwise without
the substance you may need
to be
and i can see your hand in mine
divided by design
so that we may feel the same
someday
