@SONG: Bullmonkey
Too much talk has been going on lately
and when I get done there's some people
gonna' hate me
I can only smile while I'm watching you shout
there's too many people moving in the
frame they don't know about

I keep hearding about this line
You keep saying that all is fine
I read about and watch you everyday
Nothing wrong with that 'cause that's okay
I watch you holler to make some change
I watch you promise to rearrange
You're marching hard to prove your point
Your token affection is new in this joint
Time and time and time again
We keep finding out you're your own best friend
If we criticize anything you say
You tell us we're wrong and get out of the way

You think we're livin' in '84
When you don't know it's sad and what's more
Big Brother's coming not blind or deaf
Didn't you know he's coming from the left

We gotta' clean this up, we gotta' make this top
We need to talk in another way
We need to watch what we say
We gotta' forget all that, we gotta' drop our bats
Everything you're walking is unclean junk
We don't play that game punk

I'm sick of hearing you speak your mind
It's the same old chatterbox every time
Every time we offer something new
You shoot it down and say we haven't go a clue

I'm sick of hearing you speak your mind
It's the same old chatterbox every time
Every time we offer something new
You shoot it down and say we haven't go a clue
It hear you say our minds are shut
What's your definition of trust
Another person another bed on another day
Your lame excuse is that we make you this way

I know there's a place,
I know there's a race
I washed my hands in dirt, I prayed it wouldn't hurt
I couldn't even look, I watched the hands I shook
I asked for so much more
Everybody's got their own opinion, here's mine

You just divorced your 86th wife
and you wanna' talk about real life
You're telling us about your grand world plan
Which part of I don't care don't you understand
You say we're wrong and that depends
What do you see from behind that lens
You say we're a world with all one voice
But you're never gonna' let me
make my own choice
Everybody's got their own opinion, here's mine

None of your ideas ever stick,
I must admit that's a real nice trick
Your voice must hurt, you should give it a rest
Add to the fact you're a creep at best
I'm sick of watching you eat your own
The fact remains that you've never grown
We're wearing body bags not body gloves
and none of this would happen if we talk about love

I hope that this will end, I pray I find my friends
I know that I have one, ending time has just begun
I still pray every night, but that doesn't make it right
This happened once before,
it's always ripped and torn
Everybody's got their own opinion, here's mine

@SONG: Shoveljerk
Do you want to see my true face
and get to know my real place
Do you really want to see how much I know
and feel, I know what I'm supposed to be
I'd rather feel that to see and when I run there is
nothing that can hold me up
I had a hot streak one time it helped to make
up your mind and now it's showing everything
I need to be, my word does not mean a thing

It only helps to get free so I can do as I please
What is hiding beneath my skin
It's just the costume I'm in

It's changing colors any time I want it to
I need attention all day
I'm prone to make some mistakes
but it's never my fault, it's yours
I make the other half see
how blessed they are to have me
how lucky they should feel that I'm around for them
No matter what I can't fall
I'm always here for them all
just as long as everything is always geared to me

I'm a jerk, I'm a creep, I'm so shallow, I seem deep
I got what I want and I got how I need
And I know that you will always listen to me

Do you think I can help the world
my tail is hidden and curled
and I can lash back anytime that I want to
ideas are none but my own
I don't care what I have sown
I'm out of reach for anything to come back on me
When all is finally done at least I know I'll have fun
and by the way how were things for you
I really couldn't care less
'cause I don't clean up the mess
everything is always taken care of for me

Mine is never to take the blame
my story's never the same
I'll rearrange it to try and get away
and when I go to my grave
I don't care if I am saved
I'll get the same treatment that I got down here

@SONG: Spirit
And if I'm not too sure about the state I'm in
I watch the circles cross and join as one
And when I'm asking for someone to begin again
I hope that you won't turn around and run

Don't we ever think about the other side my soul and I are just
looking for some time
and if we ever get what we are looking for
maybe we'll get something that we can't ignore

I saw a lady whose feet were covered by the sand
She won't maneuver into things she shouldn't be
And as she raised her head I saw the face of man
I could only jump back and think of what I'd seen

Spirit Rise

And if I'm not too sure about the state I'm in
I watch the circles cross and join as one
And when I'm asking for someone to begin again
I hope that you won't turn around and run

Spirit Rise

Don't we ever think about the other side
My soul and I are just looking for some time
and if we ever get what we are looking for
maybe we'll get something that we can't ignore

@SONG: Holly Would
All the things she was promised everyone
All the lights were from inside her
The angels left today there's nothing more to say
They're lost and now they're coming here

But Holly would never understand this anyway

A farewell to the dreams and all the memories
I'm sorry but I have no guilt now

Hello to loneliness it's here at your request
You've made your bed so you should lie down

But Holly would never understand this anyway
They's why we sing

Your dad is worried sick and I can't believe you're
stuck in this Holly

When you coming home Holly, when are you coming home

I see your tower fine but I can't make in mine
I'm not impressed with all you shine on

I'll buy no more today I just stopped by to say
The train just left and you never got on

@SONG: Chicken in a Biscuit
My friend soul came back to me and he said how are you
and where have you been, I told him I got lost somewhere
along the way, now I've come to stay I told him

I want to go up to that hoedown in the sky
I want to be there when I look him in the eye
I want to see all the things we need to be
My yes and no's from head to toes and sing eventually
I wanna'

Take note son of the things around you and watch the way
they get so strange and unscrewed, you know that
something somewhere's gonna' have to give
Don't worry 'bout a thing 'cause you're gonna' life

Sabbath may not come... I don't care
Sun it may not shire... Oh I still don't care
Seas they may not flow... Don't fear it
It means as much to me as a chicken in a biscuit

@SONG: Home
So many things have changed in my short life
that I thought would always be there
Yet when all that passes by my eyes none of it
will come as a big surprise, I'm expecting it
To tell the truth I know that when my eyes are closed
and shut again I'll be happy that way
Cause if I don't know where I'm going
if I don't know where I've been
maybe you can show me now
can you tell me how

I'm going home

When I'm too small to see it all, I hold on tight so I won't fall
and lose myself Cause if I don't know where tomorrow is how can I
tell where today has been and when I'm going

I'm going home

Something looking like a mail order wolverine
just nodded it's head at me
Shout 'bout the looks and sounds that I've heard and seen
Mad about the fact I'm free from his multiheaded smile that
he is shining on, rising in the face of man, holding back everything
he is holding while I'm smiling at him I'm free from him
Home I wish I was homeward bound

If I had sight and I could feel would that finally make me real
or can you answer that to me, you won't fall behind me anyway

so I've gotta' watch you every day so I don't join you today
I'm going home

@SONG: 3-Day Weekend (at Rancho Bebop)
All I've seen can't compare to this
I've been good, I've been bad
And I'm about to get us something that we've never ever had
And I know, this ones for sure

You know I hope that we won't ever stop
falling in
You know I hope that this won't ever drop
falling in
You know I home that we don't ever stop
That's why I say
I've got a three day weekend at Rancho Bebop

I know what to say, to the sky today
I've been good, I've been bad
And I'm about to get something
that we've never ever had
And I know, this ones for sure

You know I hope that we won't ever stop
falling in
You know I hope that this won't ever drop
falling in
You know I home that we don't ever stop
That's why I say
I've got a three day weekend at Rancho Bebop

On the street I heard somebody say
i have no use for the sky today
It seems like we've been here before
The ideas running out the door
I know we're never gonna' give it away

@SONG: Mrs. Berri
I called up yesterday and asked them what
did they think I should be
They turned to me to as as if to
ask if I would go away
I asked her did she know me
and if so then why was she so strange
I asked her did she know me

and if so then why was she so strange

Looking past the point I reached out for
my final chance to be, instead of turning past
I vowed for this to be my very last

While a quiet laugh broke through things changed
and I began to dream
While a quiet laugh broke through things changed
and I began to dream

Dream - I know your every move
I've seen it all before and I'll keep on watching you
No need to thank me now I'm always there fore you
One day I'll stop to watch one day when I am stopping you

Yesterday - I reached out for what I should be
It's nothing today but I never wanted anything to change
It's nothing today no turning back no we can't look away
It's nothing today still I never wanted anything to change
It's nothing

They called up yesterday and asked me what
did I think they should be
They had no chance to turn and look the other way

While a quiet laugh broke through things changed
and I began to dream
I asked her did she know me and if so
then why was she so strange
Maybe now we'll look inside instead of helping place
the blame, while we have to chance let's finalize
this empty scene and say...

@SONG: Shuckin' the Jive
I see my brother walking on the edge
he's holding back his fear and so he smiles instead
of looking for the snap and all the weight is on his back
and when he shifts his head and he plays dead he
whispers what I want I want

Peace coming down over me
My sisters caught up in the holy lights
But what she chose to do is so far removed from right
that she's always wanting something more
to keep herself from being bored and when she shifts
her head and she plays dead and she
whispers what I want I want

Peace coming down over me

I can't tell you how to live you're old enough now to give
we move in circles big and small on every day
my mind is quicker than my eye
when my heads pointed to the sky
I notice everything inside me is at ease
I wish I could help them all when I can't feel so small
but then I realize sometimes I can't help myself
and every night when I pray I don't know what I should say
I can do more than damn myself

My family is calling, coming any day
and I know by the book that the time will lose it's way
because a world inside is waiting for a place in line to be
where the truth is clear and it appears and they
whisper what I want I want

Peace coming down over me

@SONG: a. Bedini
instrumental

@SONG: Yes... And it Counts
Look at this time the way that I felt
Mention my mind the way it would melt
Looking behind all that I see
The look on his face, the color and space. finally

All my confidence was gone, nothings for sure
We've gotta' make a run so we can make this turn

We waved the flag a thousand time and watched it fall
Once again it looks like we dropped the ball

The view from the fall, the view from the wall
Coming around and laughing at me

What does it mean the fat lady sang
We sat on the couch to count our spare change
We cried at the end finally

All my confidence was gone, nothings for sure
We've gotta' make a run so we can make this turn

We waved the flag a thousand time and watched it fall
Once again it looks like we dropped the ball
All the people in this room could destroy
all that I can do is jump for joy

I'm so happy I could be twins we come this far
the point now has been made and you can keep the car

Taking this, taking that, talking sweet, talking trash
feeling happy, feeling sad
the mistake I made it wasn't so bad
Take another little piece of me

@SONG: Myself
I wanna' be more like my old self

And the words of promise spoke to me
And I change my mind eventually
And the earth was shining yesterday
And I saw the nations look away
And me head was screaming for something more
And I watched as they unlocked the door
And the counted off from one to ten
And the added two and began again
And I saw a mountain coming down
And when the smoke had cleared from all around
I was saving for another day
But now I know what they were trying to say
And I cannot put my faith in you
There's nothing worse that I could do
And when I woke up out of this
The only thing I've ever missed
was time.

@SONG: The Life and Times Of...
And we were sitting by the lake
looking for Paul's sunglasses
And we were sitting by the lake looking for it all

I saw a six foot salmon get landed by a three for man
I saw a twelve food dolphin eating from a baby's hand
and we was smiling, at me

I saw the world around me change before my eyes
Although the sun was shining there was nothin but
blackened skies
and there was nothing I could do

I'm just walkin down the street singin' that same old song
I've sung a thousand times before, I know the verse

I know the chorus, I even know the part before
It's called we're gonna' even the score

And as I crossed my body my hands began to the bleed
So she wiped it from me in a manner I couldn't perceive
and she was smiling at me

Something's got to give today
we can't go on keepin' on this way

I sat there starting you know I couldn't help but think
That all the arms around me were now forcing me to sing
but I kept smiling, yeah I kept smiling
