still (livin in the past)
out here in the dark
i’m still lookin’ for a friend
livin’ in the past
that’s prolly never gonna end
way off in the distance
i hear the ringing of a bell
people think they know me
but they don’t know me very well
well, well, well
i still feel a little funny
every time i hear yr name
i still love you baby
i still love you just the same
how could i forget you?
i don’t even wanna try
ever since i met you
i look at the world with different eyes
aye, yai, yai
out here in the dark
i’m still lookin’ for a friend
livin’ in the past
that’s prolly never gonna end
waves of weird emotion
i don’t completely understand
still rising from the ocean
turning everything to sand

i was born this way
ask my ma + pa
i took one look around
i didn't like what i saw
as soon as i could walk
i tried to walk away
as soon as i could talk
i was trying to pray
said: heaven help me now
heaven helping hand
i really don't know how
how much more i can stand
i was born this way
with a inside
i let it lead my way
i let it rise like a tide
so heaven help me now
heaven helping hand
i really don’t know how
how much more i can stand

Hate the Game

hate the game
all my love is tender / all my love is true
you're something like a little dream to me
wonder - what am i to you?
i went up to see you
but i was not aware
that you'd laid out tricks + traps
+ i walked right into your snare
do you think it's game?
i don't understand it
i don't think it's fair
to trade my love
for little pieces of
someone that's barely there
the ears are made to listen
the legs are for to walk
you know i'll come runnin' to you baby
if you ever need to talk
but this isn't a game x 2
all the little devils
wreaking havoc in your head
they live on miscommunication
+ yr keeping them well fed
but the ears are made to listen
the legs are for to walk
+ i'll come runnin' to you baby
if you ever even need to talk
+ this isn't a game x 4
all my love is tender all my love is true
you're something like a little dream to me
wonder - what am i? what am i to you?

No Sense

no sense
i wrote you a letter, cuz yr never home
i hope yr feeling better, hope yr in the zone
me - i’m sorta lucky to be where i am
the ring means something different on the other hand
my heart don’t make no sense
my arms don’t make no sense
ask me a question, make me stop + think
a cool glass of water would be nice to drink
gonna meet yr little lady at the skating rink
then dress yr little baby up in blue + pink
blue + pink blue +
my heart don’t make no sense
my arms don’t make no sense
my g_d i make no sense
no charge i make no sense
oh funny feather you’re gonna make me laugh
no funny feather - i’m no good at math
never been a genius - neither am i dumb
if you had a little extra would you lend me some?
would you lend me some?
gimme, gimme

Cool Heart
04:23

cool heart
you’ve got a great mind
yr brighter than a gold flame
movin’ to your own beat
+ laughing at the big game
you’ve got a fast mind
moving like a coltrane
steady like a heartbeat
hard to miss it cause it’s so plain
you never sit still
that’s cuz yr wild like the oceans
yr a pioneer / it’s so clear
that you deserve devotion
you’ve got a quick draw
left of center but a great aim
lucky that i found you
+ now i’ll never be the same
you could never get fair trial
cause they couldn’t find you 12 peers
you never lost the vision
even through the tears
you’ve got a great mind
yr brighter than a gold flame
movin’ to your own beat
call you by a new name
i think i’ll call you cool heart…
you’ve got such a cool heart

kern river
i’m on my own
in the promised land
no place like home
but i miss your hands
i feel you now
you understand
+ i’ll see you soon
i’m gonna be your man
you bring me joy
but i keep it hid
the little boy
that careless kid
he’s still around
but he’s old + he’s big
but he loves you now
+ he always did
red stars blue moon
i almost cried
been such a fool
i hate my pride
got lost + i went wrong
shit i almost died
but i’m living now
+ the rivers wide
i’m living now
+ the rivers wid

Crystal Clear

|

crystal clear
angels + the devils
+ they’re never under your command
yr never gonna know
if you never try to understand
blow a lot of smoke
but you never really caught a flame
get a little burnt
+ you’ll never really be the same
listen to yr heart
+ you’ll always have a crazy friend
buy the world a drink
+ you’ll never be alone again
drive it off the edge
gonna end it where it all began
yr never gonna know
if you never try to understand
everybody knows that the poor are gonna have to pay
+ everybody knows that there ought to be another way
take a deep breath
make the whole world disappear
keep a diamond in yr mind
+ it all looks crystal clear
see the heavens & the earth + the shadow of a might hand
Lifting up the skirt of rebel in the holy land
you blow a lot of smoke but you never really caught a flame
get a little burnt + you’ll never really be the same
take a hard look around + you won’t like what you see
mamma’s little baby licking blood from the sting of a bee
listen to me now put yr kingdoms up for sale
i bet you no one ever told you that yr mind is a beautiful jail
everybody knows that the rich are gonna get their way
everybody knows that the poor are gonna have to pay
take a deep breath make the whole world disappear
keep a diamond in yr mind + it all looks crystal clear

little puppy dog (for Jo)
little puppy dog
do you remember me?
we been in a fog
now i can almost see
it's been too long
you got away from me
well, i'm taking you home now
i'm walking you home now
love is like a dream
some kind of crazy dream
you were on my team
some kind of crazy team
don't know what it means
too long i held in steam
finally i'm letting it blow now
i'm letting it go now
like a real faint light
that i can only see
when i look away
that’s what you are to me
just a real fine dust
you used to cover me
finally letting it show now
finally letting it show now
little puppy dog
do you remember me?
we been in a fog
now i can almost see
it's been too long
you got away from me
well, i'm taking you home now

Total Mystery

total mystery
life’s a total mystery
kiss yourself good night
yr lost in ancient history
yr higher than a kite
falling like a feather
buzzing like a bee
always + forever
you’re a part of me
heaven is a place where
no one ever cries
such pretty face
let me see your eyes
very nice to meet you
everyone’s the same
people here are see through
same with different names
tie me to your bedpost
take me for a ride
kiss me underwater
nothing here to hide
drifting in the darkness
still can’t figure out
how you’re going to harness
all your fears + doubts
turned up to eleven
down your dirty path
when you get to heaven
they’re gonna make you take a bath
life’s a total mystery
anyone can see
we’re kids repeating history
till eternity

big baby (cry anymore)
i don’t think i can cry anymore
i don’t think i can cry anymore
never been this far from the shore
i don’t think i can cry anymore
hey! look at what’s on your front door
love, you don’t really know me
hey! look at what’s on your front door
love – tell them what you told me
you can‘t be so hard on yourself
you can’t be so hard on yourself
oh you are so right in the core
i don’t think i can cry anymore
hey! looky what’s on your front door
love, you don’t really know me
hey! looky what’s on your front door
love – i bought you a pony
i don’t think i can cry anymore
