And then You Snap
02:25

It's only you
Who can make this all come true
If you don't
Then you won't
And you can live upside your head until you snap
Thoughts misconstrued, misrepresent your point of view
And they don't know what ya mean
So they all went to bed
And then you snapped
Back
Pull , Out
The doubt beneath the couch, then you shout it out your mouth
But it had no invitation
So you're out on a ledge, in my mind
The stones skip like you said
on the horizon
oh woah, oh woah oh oh
oh woah oh
And then you snapped
Back
Pull, Out
The doubt from the couch that you crammed inside your cranium
But they even care, because they don't know what its about
It's only you
Who can make this all come true
If you don't
Then you won't
And you can live upside your head until you snap
Back
Pull, Out
The doubt beneath the couch
and you shout it out your mouth, but it had no invitation
so you snapped
oh yes you snapped
you fucking snapped

Birds Eye View

I know why the caged bird sings
I let him fly, but then you clipped his wings
I'm going down, I'm not coming up
Till the caged birds had enough
I'm stuck inside, so he could fly
rusty bars and dirty bowls, are all he's ever known
I can't say when, he'll be back again
All he said was, " Good on ya friend.......Good on ya friend"
As solitary grows, with the rank stench of the mold
I realize my toes, clawing through the gold
I see the steel, harder then an unplowed field
My beak, it beckons me to go
I cannot yield my soul
I've learned how to whistle, I've learned how to bite
From close encounters, with panthers in the night
I've eaten all my finger nails, and my heads sticking to the floor
side ways , projectile at the door
As you, You come on in and soar
You chirped of love, and squawked on furthermore
spoke of a so called family, fucked up to the core
I'm going down, I'm not coming up
cause he's seen way too much
and he's seen way too much
Now that I know why the caged bird sings
I let him fly, and then you clipped his wings
I'm going down, I'm not coming up
Cause the caged birds had enough
the caged birds had enough

Crazy Creatures
05:35
|

There's two sick love bugs, and love sick set in
Perched on a shoulder, they both said were going in
Were going in deep through the heart of the back
time might wait, I've got no time for that
Get this gorilla off my back, put the monkey in the front seat
guided by long toe, deep fry cold feet
And when the creatures crawling on my skin
Begin, to go in
Again, and again
Because I know your right, to deny this urge
But it's not a choice
Because the love bug has submerged
If you were a book, you'd be out of print
and if I were a boat, I would surely sink
So I'm glad that you're not a book
And I'm glad that I'm not a boat
Im glad your not a lawyer or a preacher
you're kind of like me
We're two crazy creatures
twoooooooo
To crazy to reach us
and we're going in
love bug has submerged into the skin
Now there's two sick love bugs and love sick set in
to one big hole, the two love bugs dug in
swimming in the streams of the hearts pumping veins
can't kill yourself, only feeling half the pain
Put the pig in the pen, put the turtle in the back seat
Guided by the hope, that love isn't lost
Cause how could i ever ask
someone, to do the one thing, the same thing
I said , I'd never do in the past
Because I know your right, to deny this urge
But it's not a choice
Because the love bug has submerged
If i was a line, I'd shoot up your nose
and if you were a hand, you'd rip off all my clothes
So I'm glad that we got a line,
and I'm glad that you got a hand
and you could be anything you want, and you're a mighty fine teacher
Carly your kinda like me
We're two crazy creatures
twoooooooooooo
to crazy to reach us
twoooooooooooo
To bat shit crazy, and we're motherfuckin lazy to reach us
and no one could teach us
we're just
two crazy creatures
and we're going in
Love bug has submerged into the skin

It always came first
Like the morning light
I never rehearsed
For the big night
No remorse
At the grave sight
Of waking up one day
and find yourself alive
Does it even really matter?
I'm sure that it will matter someday
But right now, i got a bad taste
Right now, I got a bad bad taste
Mama I'm not sorry, it's too late to stop now
daddy i know, you just never knew how
sister Nancy, it's all a lie
my brothers I know, you've watched me
try to try
Does it even really matter?
I'm sure that it will matter some day
But right now, I got a bad taste
Yes right now, i got a bad bad taste
Friends and family I have known and seen
They just don't look like they used to seem
Does it even really matter?
I'm sure that it will matter someday
But right now I got a bad taste
Right now, I got a bad bad taste
friends and family, people I've known and seen
they just don't look like they used to seem
everything you could hope , imagine or dream
I don't give a fuck, cause I can't feel a thing
It always came first
Like the morning light
I never rehearsed
For the big night........

They Like to Talk
04:35
|
|||
|
Seems like all anyone wants to ask
what drugs I'm on, or which I was in the past
I ask them if they got a pen and a lighter
As i turn my head as I start to laugh
They say "what's so funny?"
they like to talk about money
But they don't know how to rock
and they, hey, oh they, hey hey hey
They Like to talk
if you don't know me by now, you never ever ever know me
I'm still that same old crazy fuck
got brand new heart, with a brand new mind set
you don't understand that, good luck
They say " what's it got to do with luck?"
Well if you don't understand magic and logic.....
Then tough nuts!
Cause they don't know, how to rock!
and they, oh they hey hey hey, oh they hey hey
They Like to Talk
Everybody's asking if I went to bed
Sure I did! not last night, just two or three ago instead
I wonder how they get such good rest
They're all probably hooked on there mamas meds
And I know exactly why I don't sleep
They said this life could be the best
and I believe that possibly it just might not be beat
but they don't know how to rock
and they hey, oh they hey hey hey, oh they hey
They Like to Talk
Sure every once in a while i still do all the cooking
and if the rose hits the soda I'll probably turn back
So don't put me up, if ya think ya know me
we'll all go to bed someday, how bout that!?
They said, "what's so dam funny?"
They're, they're still discussing money
Cause they don't know hot to rock
and they hey, oh they hey hey hey, oh they hey
They Like to Talk
and they hey, oh they hey hey hey, oh they hey
and they hey, oh they hey hey hey, oh they hey
and they hey, oh they hey hey hey, oh they hey
They Like to talk

OK

I got girl,
who loves me just as I am
and I got a brother
who'd risk his life, so mine wouldn't end
and i got a best friend i betrayed,
who even, talks to me again
I'm not angry , happy, or sad
im ok
Just don't feel like talking
Much today
I got a van, I call home
I guess I'm never lost
I got all four limbs, and a brain
to think my own thoughts
that's something that no one could ever take away
sometime I wish, I would not think this way
I'm not angry , happy, or sad
im ok
Just don't feel like talking
Much today
And it takes a whole lot to get up in the morning
and it's pretty fucking scary what puts me to bed
and I give it all of my heart
I can't give no more
That's me and that's all i got
Yeah that's me and that's all I got
I'm not angry , happy, or sad
im ok
Just don't feel like talking
Much today
I'm not angry, happy or sad
i'm ok

Look My Love!
03:35
|

|
Look my love!
It's right over there!
It sits and smiles with a dismal glare
I've seen it shaking for years before
I've never seen it
Quite like this
Like this
Look my love!
it's right above!
Feel the gravity push, pull and shove
sweeping vultures that prey on love
Love just like this
Like this
Look my love!
It's deep inside!
we have snorted the bottom line
no doubt or question in my mind
you like it just like this
Like this
Like this
Because this could be the first time, that it's the last time
I have to feel like this, like this
Like this
Cause i've been down this road before
never this much, gas, in the tank
And we have lived this life and more
not so fast
Tip toe the plank
Nervous laughter and a runny leg
a bit of drool and a throbbing head
I wouldn't trade it for anything less than this
Not even something like this!
Look my Love!
it's coming around!
a diesel train in a carousel gown
steam billows and steers your course
loose footing on an unstable perch
how in the hell do I get back on the train?
Conductor beckons, begins to explain....
You do it just like this!
Like this! Like this!
Look my Love!...................

Falling Up Again
05:01
|
|||
|
Hold, hold me down
Cause i feel, I'm falling up again
And I don't want to go now
But you're right here beside me
explaining relativity
and I think
That i pertain to none
Slow, slow me down
Cause i hear my heart, beating double time
and I don't want to pop now
but the bed sides turned to quicksand
and one hand just chases another hand
Like a mongoose in a tide pool
I pick up a butt, blistered in gum
and i shine like a tin foil gutter
I slip in the mud, I give the rain a big hug
like a toad in a puddle I mutter
ba da ba dee ba doo ba dee ba da doo ba da ba dee ba da doo
Like no other
Oh release me from my mind
remind me there's no time
the urge will take you there
leave your cares for another
so how are you today?
and why are you away?
and who is asking all these questions?
So burn, burn it down
cause i fear it's lost its purpose and sight
and I won't cheer you on now
cause you've slaughtered all that I hoped for
and all I see is more and more
and I think we all shall return

Annie

Annie just won't wake
she says she's got the flu
she trembles where she lays
and the sweat comes seeping through
said maybe its something that I ate
I think she takes me for a fool
but it's more then she can take
and wallgreens just won't do
it just won't do
But it's more then I can take
there's nothing I can do
It's more then I can take
there's nothing I can do
it's more then I can take
Cause Annie just won't wake
She said I did the rest
And I should be ashamed
but i know in her head
she wants someone to blame
she said I should be sympathetic
it's more pain then one should bare
but i think its pathetic
she wants help but she don"t share
she just don't share
But it's more then I can take
there's nothing I can do
It's more then I can take
there's nothing I can do
it's more then I can take
Cause Annie just won't wake
A year ago today
we lost someone who flew ( we lost someone you knew)
when the faces fade away
you let the love shine through
let the love shine through
But it's more then I can take
there's nothing I can do
It's more then I can take
there's nothing I can do
when the faces fade away
you let the love come shining through
when the faces fade away
you let the love come shining through
when the faces
they fade away
you let the love come shining through
let the love shine through
let the love shine through
let the love shine through
cause Annie just won't wake

Radio On
03:48
|

|
Guitar slang on my back
two thumbs on my hands
I'm ready set go
for promised land
It was a psychedelic day
sun smiled pon us
we had the sun glasses on
can't nobody stop us
we had the sun roof down
ready to go till dawn
we were reelin' and a rockin'
yes we had the radio on
and when we hit the coast
not everybody's still with it
I had the sunglasses on
goodbye good riddance
and when the dark turned light
everyone was all gone
I had not slept in days
I had the radio on
Maybe she went home
back to her mama
or that sweet baby boy
who would not let her wander
but I'm a wanderer
drinking mamawanna
and with the 13 point bolt
can't nobody stop us
when i make it back to them
we'll say it's been so long
we'll be singing them words
with the radio on
but me can't never settle down , I'm a roadrunner
But if she come along
ya know I no longer wonder
because my shades are off
she looks me in my
sea green eyes
the earth begins to tremble
and we fall inside
now the sun has gone down
ya know I'll be up till dawn
ya know we long gone
got the radio on
keep it down
cause if ya wanna know bout what it's about
you got to see through the smoke
whichever way your pleasure tends
i think I'll have myself a toke
It's just a crazy little place I like to go and just
spontaneously combust
and if you don't know what that is
I think you just got the just
cause one of these days Ima get some sleep
one of these days ima quit nicotine
and one of these days I wont be the chachka
cause I'm getting real rowdy with whole dam scene
and there's so much contraband it's getting hard to breathe
