Use It Or Lose It

you grabbed your hat, your bags are packed, ready to go
never understood just why you move so slow
after all of that
you decide to stay home
you better use it babe
before you lose it
use it babe
before you lose it
use it babe
before you lose it
before you lose it
bodies close, words in your throat, there's something there
never understood just why you feel so scared
fall back to bed, with your own head
your arms wrapped round thin air
you better use it babe
(etc.)
i look at things, i forge my rings, i float along
try to find the perfect words to write the perfect song
AND EVEN THOUGH
EVERYTHING THAT
I DO IS WRONG
YOU BETTER USE IT BABE
(etc.)

well i
found a way out
it wouldn't be that hard
it wouldn't be that hard
but they won't let me take it
i
found a way out
it would make me happy
(it might make me happy)
but they don't want us to make it
and you can't live within it
and you can't live without
and you're looking for answers
you might always have doubts
but
let
me
feel
what
it
could
feel
like
EUPHORIA
let me feel
you, can be anything you choose
you, can be anything you choose
you, can be anything you choose
well i
am so hot today
i don't care what you think
who cares what they think
this is the world we live in
we
are so hot today
and if they don't love us
(how could they not love us)
why don't they just leave us alone
and it sucks to be different
it sucks to be the same
and we're looking for comfort
we might always have pain
but
let me feel what it could feel like
EUPHORIA
let me feel
you can be anything you choose
you can be anything you choose
you can be anything you
you can be anything you choose

High Hopes

well what you gonna do for us
what you gonna be
we produced you to produce something
now what's it gonna be
little child, gotta find a place for you
send your letter and your resume
and help us keep it all
running smooth
(well maybe i'll be a perfect failure
stumble around till i fall in a hole and stay there
i know you had such
HIGH HOPES
for me...)
well what you gonna do for us
we'll ask you one more time
we produced you to produce something
not sit and wonder why
ungrateful child
you're one of the lucky few
you know we can't provide for everyone
if we wanna keep it all
running smooth
(well maybe i'll teach some troubled children
train them to speak like they're on television
but nobody has very HIGH HOPES
for them...)
(well what you gonna do for us)
we made the shirt that's on your back
(what you gonna be)
we make the food you eat
(we produced you to produce something)
we make sure you can go out and not
get blown to smithereens (now what's it gonna be)
and if you leave us now
you'll get ground up into goo
there's nowhere else for you to go
and your guts will just keep it all
running smooth
(well maybe i'll go where you won't follow
sit on a hill and wait for something to swallow
me whole. yes i still got
HIGH HOPES.........)

saturday
in the park
was something called the fourth of july
you looked at me
your eyes grew dark
you told me that you're ready to die
remember when so many of us
didn't wanna do it anymore
they fooled so many of us
they fooled so many of us
but
i'm alive
i'm alive
and i'm full (yeah i'm full yeah i'm full) of that energy
i'm alive
i'm surprised that it's a surprise but i'm glad i'm alive
yeah i'm full (yeah i'm full yeah i'm full) of that energy
yeah i'm full yeah i'm full yeah i'm full of that energy
underground
in the dark
at least we found a place to call home
a cold expanse
a sudden spark
that wild heat surrounding our bones
we're alive
still alive
and we're full (yeah we're full yeah we're full)
of that energy
still alive
don't know how or why but our ancestors survived
leaving us leaving us leaving us
with that energy
yeah we're full yeah we're full yeah we're full
of that energy
outer space!
here we are
this planet is too good to exist
a breathing ball
a thin blue shell
an animal that got really sick
they dig it up
they'll blow it up
they don't care
they must be stopped
cuz
we're alive
we'll never be as strong as them, they got death on their side
but we're full (yeah we're full yeah we're full)
of that energy
we're alive
never feel it quite so much as when you're by my side
feeding me feeding you feeding me
with that energy
yeah we're full yeah we're full yeah we're full
yeah we're full overflow overflow
yeah we're full yeah we're full yeah we're full
of that

feel how it knows how hard you try
breathing you've already arrived

Beam of Love

i told you twice, i told you once
things i never told anyone before
you hit me with that beam of love
the only thing i dream of
anymore
and you know i want you around babe
all the goddamn time
but when you are here
i'm overcome by fear
of goodbye
well i'm the princess, you're the pea
or maybe you're the magic bean
oh no
in the night you grow so unreal so huge
i climb the stalk i can't refuse
and you're going round my head babe
all the goddamn time
oh these ghosts in the dark
oh that moment they spark
into life
can you make it go away
please don't let it go away
i've got to stop being your friend
then we fall back into our love again
i can control a lot of things
but i cannot control my dreams
(oh no)
we kiss you turn into a worm
i slurp you down i feel you squirm
and you know i want you inside me
two droplets combine
and when we are one
then this all will be done

In Other Worlds
04:10

let's pretend you love me
please don't ask me why
use that little head of yours
lord knows i've used mine
yes i've seen such visions
make me a magician
and bring 'em
to life
come a little closer
wanna feel you on my skin
i'm so full of caves
where the sun's never been
oh won't someone fill them
i guess it would kill them
the caves grow the more
you go in
but i believe
in other worlds
in other worlds where i get
what i need
in other worlds, in other worlds
somewhere inside of me
oh!
let's pretend my beauty
could ring out like a bell
not some wet crustacean
crushed up in its shell
the beaks come to peck me
yeah eat me, dissect me
that always that always goes well
once there was a people
who met all of my needs
some sick men destroyed them
slaughtered them like beasts
don't know how i arrived here
or why i'm alive here
i guess i'll just have to
go deep
cuz i believe
in other worlds
in other worlds where i get what
i need
(i believe)
in other worlds, in other worlds (i believe in)
somewhere inside
of
me

House of Healing
06:11
|

|
close my eyes what do i see
a million hands held out to me
what kind of people would let me just sleep
in the gutter
and what's left to take care of
if we can't take care of each other
my neighbor found me on my knees
they sat me down by the apple tree
i cried in their shoulder, oh what is this pain
that i'm feeling
they said babe, why don't you go up
up to the house, up to the house of healing
someone signed up to cover my shift
someone else stopped to give me a lift
up to that house on the hillside all covered in flowers
they said we're here
we're here to comfort
to comfort your pain cuz your pain, cuz your pain
is ours
now i'll sing it for the lost ones
who don't know what we mean
WE ARE PEOPLE NOT CONSUMERS
BODIES BREAK DOWN WHY SHOULD OURS BREAK SOONER
WE ARE PEOPLE, THEY'RE THE LOSERS
WE'RE GONNA GET WHAT WE NEED
LATER OR SOONER
close my eyes start to relax
my worries melt like dripping wax
a gentle voice says, you can tell us what's wrong
when you're ready
we know bodies are deep and deadly
as the ocean
but also they're waves in and out
breathing certain and steady
the healers guide me down these caves
and i feel so blessed even through my pain
i'm impermanent intricate glass
for sensation to shine through
and when
you're feeling broken
i hope they will help me be well enough
to come and find you
cuz close my eyes, what do i see
a million hands held out to me
i remember that place where they treat me
gentle as a lover
and what's
left to take care of
if we can take care of
each other
now one more time for those poor lost souls
who've forgotten what we mean
WE ARE PEOPLE NOT CONSUMERS
BODIES BREAK DOWN WHY SHOULD OURS BREAK SOONER
WE ARE PEOPLE, THEY'RE THE LOSERS
WE'RE GONNA GET WHAT WE NEED
LATER OR SOONER

Rosie Cotton

i want to tell you i love you
i know the ending is near
the sky contorting above you
i'll say it while we're still here
i think about rosie cotton
wrapping my arms around you
sorry this world's so rotten
sorry it's pierced you right through
and if you sail away
i'll watch my children play
i'll name 'em after you
i'll really miss you
--
i'm glad you have rosie cotton
i don't want all life to end
you've kept me going so often
and i've loved being your friend
and when i'm sailed and gone
your children sing their songs
i might be singing too
i'll really miss you
--
above all rides the sun
and stars forever dwell
i will not say the day is done
nor bid the stars farewell
above all rides the sun
and stars forever dwell
i will not say the day is done
nor bid the stars farewell
