Title
- Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
- The insurgency began and you missed it
- I looked for it and I found it
- Miles Standish proud, congratulate me
- A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
- Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
- Of the powers, the only vote that matters
- Silence means security silence means approval
- On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
- Follow the leader, run and turn into butter
- Let's begin again, begin the begin
- Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen
- The mythology begins the begin
- Answer me a question I can't itemize
- I can't think clearly, look to me for reason
- It's not there, I can't even rhyme here in the begin
- A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
- Example: the finest example is you
- Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
- The insurgency began and you missed it
- I looked for it and I found it
- Miles Standish proud, congratulate me
- A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
- Let's begin again begin the begin
- Let's begin again
- Now I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales
- If I can, and I can
- March into ocean, march into the sea
- I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down,
- yanked it up, slapped it on my head
- All the people gather
- Fly to carry each his burden
- We are young despite the years we are concern
- We are hope despite the times
- All of the sudden, these days
- Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever....
- I wish to meet each one of you
- And you, me, you, if I can and I can
- We have many things in common, name three (three, three, three)
- I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
- yanked it up, slapped it on my head
- All the people gather
- Fly to carry each his burden
- We are young despite the years we are concern
- We are hope despite the times
- All of the sudden, these days
- Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
- Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
- If I can and I can
- I wish to eat each one of you and you, me, you
- I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
- yanked it up, slapped it on my head
- All the people gather
- Fly to carry each his burden
- We are young despite the years we are concern
- We are hope despite the times
- All of the sudden, these days
- Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you...
- carry each his burden
- We are young despite the years we are concern
- We are hope despite the times
- All of the sudden, these days
- Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
- (Take away the scattered bones of my meal)
- There's a problem, feathers iron
- Bargain buildings, weights and pullyes
- Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
- Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
- Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
- Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
- Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
- There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
- A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
- Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
- isn't anything at all (melt the statues in the park)
- Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
- Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
- Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
- Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
- Don't fall on me
- Well I could keep it above
- But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
- So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
- Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
- And ask the sky and ask the sky
- Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
- Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
- Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
- [Repeat and fade out]
- Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
- Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
- Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
- We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
- This is where we walked, this is where we swam
- Take a picture here, take a souvenir
- This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
- We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
- And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
- We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed
- This is where we walked, this is where we swam
- Take a picture here, take a souvenir
- Cuyahoga
- Cuyahoga, gone
- Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
- Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
- This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
- Take a picture here, take a souvenir
- Cuyahoga
- Cuyahoga, gone
- Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith
- Bury, burn the waste behind you
- This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
- We are not your allies, we can not defend
- This is where they walked, this is where they swam
- Take a picture here, take a souvenir
- Cuyahoga
- Cuyahoga, gone
- Cuyahoga
- Cuyahoga, gone
- Night time fell at the opening,
- In the final act of the beginning of time.
- Hyena take your role, the stage is set.
- The town is safe again tonight
- Hyena (I see the day ahead)
- Hyena (and all that I've cried through)
- Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)
- Hyena, sister look to your hand
- Man you serve communal interest,
- She'll tell you when and where and how and why you'd hurt
- A beautiful young lady
- Hyena (I see the day ahead)
- Hyena (and all that I've cried through)
- Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)
- The only thing to fear is fearlessness
- The bigger the weapon the greater the fear
- Hyena is ambassador to here
- Night time fell like the closing
- Meager pay, but recognition
- Hyena crawls on his belly out
- The town is safe again tonight
- Hyena (I see the changes, man)
- Hyena (Goin' on 'cross the way)
- Hyena (I see my road ahead)
- Hyena (Don't know if I should stay)
- Hyena (I see you holding him,)
- Hyena (and all that I've cried through)
- Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)
- I will hide and you will hide
- And we shall hide together here
- Underneath the bunkers in the row
- I have water I have rum
- Wait for dawn and dawn shall come
- Underneath the bunkers in the row
- I took a picture that I'll have to send
- People here are friendly and content
- People here are colorful and bright
- The flowers often bloom at night
- Amanita is the name
- The flowers cover everything
- The flowers cover everything
- There's something here I find hard to ignore
- There's something that I've never seen before
- Amanita is the name they cover over everything
- The flowers cover everything
- They cover over everything (Amanita is the name)
- The flowers cover everything
- Don't look into the sun
- Don't look into the sun
- There's something that I've never seen before
- The flowers often bloom at night
- Amanita is the name they cover over everything
- When I was young and full of grace
- and spirited--a rattlesnake.
- When I was young and fever fell
- My spirit, I will not tell
- You're on your honor not to tell
- I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
- Explain the change, the difference between
- What you want and what you need, there's the key,
- Your adventure for today, what do you do
- Between the horns of the day?
- I believe my shirt is wearing thin
- And change is what I believe in
- When I was young and give and take
- And foolish said my fool awake
- When I was young and fever fell
- My spirit, I will not tell
- You're on your honor, on your honor
- Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
- Think of others, the others think of you
- Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
- Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change
- I believe my humor's wearing thin
- And change is what I believe in
- I believe my shirt is wearing thin
- And change is what I believe in
- When I was young and full of grace
- As spirited a rattlesnake
- When I was young and fever fell
- My spirit, I will not tell
- You're on your honor, on your honor
- I believe in example
- I believe my throat hurts
- Example is the checker to the key
- I believe my humor's wearing thin
- And I believe the poles are shifting
- I believe my shirt is wearing thin
- And change is what I believe in
- On the outside underneath the wall
- All the money couldn't buy
- You're mistaken no one's standing there
- For the record no one tried
- Oh I try to
- What if we give it away?
- Overlooking with a hollow eye
- What's pretending is it right
- Eye for order a hand for what's in line
- Couldn't follow couldn't write
- And our life is fine here
- Stitch it on your tie here
- Here's the trailer Tom
- A year has come and gone
- We're not moving was it right
- Take the order sew it on your tie
- We couldn't follow couldn't try
- Well what in the world? Women in black
- Don't you remember send us back
- A day in the life well nobody laughed
- Look to the days how long can this last
- Kevin heard it on the radio
- Hugh informed word of mouth
- Carla read it in the news
- Caught it all just a touch
- You set the pace of what was to come
- I have to carry on now that you're gone
- A day in the life well nobody laughed
- Look to the days how long can this last
- There's someone in our dreams
- In our preassembled dream
- Lord! Dave! William!
- Well what in the world? Women in black
- Don't you remember send towering past back
- A day in the life well nobody laughed
- Look to the days how long can this last
- I can't see where to worship Popeye, love Al Green,
- I can't see, I'm so young, I'm so god damn young
- Swan, swan, hummingbird
- Hurrah, we are all free now
- What noisy cats are we
- Girl and dog he bore his cross
- A long, low time ago, people talk to me
- Johnny Reb what's the price of fans
- Forty a piece or three for one dollar?
- Hey captain don't you want to buy
- Some bone chains and toothpicks?
- Night wings, her hair chains,
- Here's your wooden greenback, sing
- Wooden beams and dovetail sweep
- I struck that picture ninety times,
- I walked that path a hundred ninety,
- Long, low time ago, people talk to me
- A pistol hot cup of rhyme
- The whiskey is water, the water is wine
- Marching feet, Johnny Reb, what's the price of heroes?
- Six and one half dozen the other,
- Tell that to the captain's mother,
- Hey captain don't you want to buy,
- Some bone chains and toothpicks?
- Night wings, her hair chains
- Swan, swan, hummingbird
- Hurrah, we are all free now
- What noisy cats are we
- Long, low time ago, people talk to me
- A pistol hot cup of rhyme,
- The whiskey is water, the water is wine
- (G. Zekley/M.Bottler)
- (A Godzilla doll, in Japanese: "This is a special news report.
- Godzilla has been sighted in Tokyo Bay. The attack on it by the self-defense
- force has been useless. He is heading towards the city. Aaaaggghh!")
- I am I am I am Superman and I know what's happening
- I am I am I am Superman and I can do anything
- You don't really love that guy you make it with now do you
- I know you don't love that guy cause I can see right through you
- If you go a million miles away I'll track you down girl
- Trust me when I say I know the pathway to your heart
