One Hot Minute

Warped

My tendency
for dependency
Is offending me
It's upending me
I'm pretending see
To be strong and free
From my dependency
It's warping me
So much love
So rare to dare
Afraid of
Ever being there
Take me home
I need repair
Take me please
To anywhere
CHORUS:
Descend
all the way
all the way
Everyday
Warped
and scared
Of
being
there
Descended from
Demented men
Struggle with
The art of Zen
Please don't look
Too close at me
You might not like
What you see
CHORUS
Night craving
Sends me crawling oh
Beg for mercy
Does it show
A vacancy
That's full of holes
Hold me please
I'm feeling cold
CHORUS
 

Aeroplane
 

Looking in my own eyes
I can't find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear mirror
Looking in my rear mirror
I can make it disappear
I like pleasure spiked w/pain
Music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
It's my aeroplane
Sitting in my kitchen
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
Just one note
Could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from
The song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note
Could make me choke
One note that's
Not a lie
Just one note
Could cut my throat
One could make me die
 

Deep Kick
 

It started when we were
little kids free spirits but
already tormented by our own hands
given to us by our parents we got together
and wrote on desks and slept in laundry
rooms near snowy mountains & slipped through
whatever cracks we can find minds altered
we didn't falter in portraying hysterical
and tragic characters in a smog filled
universe we loved the dirty city and the
journeys away from it we had not yet been
or seen our friends selves chase tails round
and round in downward spiral leaving trail
of irretrievable vital life juice behind still
the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz
was impenetrable
and we lived inside it laughing with no clothes
and everything experimental 'till death was
upon us in our face mortality and
lots of things seemed futile then but
love and music can save us and did while
the giant grey monster grew more poisoned
and volatile around us jaws clamping down
and spewing ugly shit around nothing
is the same so we keep moving.
Went off and got some hair cuts
Lookin' wild & got all drugged up
Hopped a train into the night
Got a ride with a transvestite
Two boys in San Francisco
Two boys in San Francisco
Blasted off in a BART bathroom
Those coppers woke us up
Motherfuckers woke us up
Two young brothers on a hover craft
Telepathics love and belly laughs
Storm the stage of Universal
Slim shine talk box go subversal
Papa's proud and so he sent us
Pounding hearts full and relentless
Two boys in London, England
Two boys in London, England
Climbing out of hostel windows
Wearing gear so out but in though
Come on kid and do the no no
Two young brothers on a hover craft
Telepathics, love and belly laughs
We went to Fairfax High School
Jumped off buildings into their pools
We'd sit down and grease at Canters
Run like hell they can't catch us
Two boys in L.A. proper
Two boys in L.A. proper
Stealin' anything that we could
Gotta sneak into the Starwood
Gotta peak into the deep good
I remember 10 years ago
in Hollywood we did some good
and we did some real bad stuff
but the Butthole Surfers
always said it's better to regret
Something you did
than something you didn't do
We were young and we
were looking for the deep kick...
seen 'em come seen
'em
go
 

My Friends
 

My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide..., 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
X Girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad
CHORUS:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness
CHORUS
 

Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love
No matter what
CHORUS
 

Coffee Shop
 

I am just a lousy bum
Searching for the unknown crumb
The crumb the crumb
Something or someone to come
Come along ILLUMINATE my lust
Combust
Confucius might have been confused
And Buddha might have blown a fuse
I ooze the muse
Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot
Back and forth my body's jerking
Will to thrill will not stop working
Work and work
I'll take you on a honeymoon
Jumping on a bed in a hotel room
The room the groom
Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance
like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot
 

Pea
 

I'm a little pea
I love the sky and the trees
I'm a teeny tiny little ant
Checking out this and that
I am nothing
So you have nothing to hide
And I'm a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up
Oh yea I'm small
Fuck you asshole
You homophobic redneck dick
You're big and tough and macho
You can kick my ass
So fucking what

One Big Mob
 

I am you are me
Good woman said you gotta believe
Submerge into the urge of we
Deliciously the mystery
CHORUS:
One big mob aw yea aw yea
One big mob aw yea aw yea
Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea
Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea
Ooze into into my noodle
East or west shepherd or poodle
Ladybug pinetree
To mingle with the bumblebee
A lover to the sun
And a brother to the cool breeze
CHORUS
Scrawled upon the wall
Of a bathroom stall
A stranger wrote a note
That spoke to all
One two buckle my shoe
Take care of me
'Cause I might be you
CHORUS
We live in the city
We live in the jungle
It's time to be drinking
A thimble humble
Everything you ever see
Is never more than you and me
Give it on in to the beauty of the MYSTERY
One big mob in one big home
A broken home
I'd like to share some air with you
Some air with you
A morning forest full of truths
The green is blue
The head that's getting pregnant lives
To give and give
What was I thinking in my head
The color red
Breaking hearts instead of bread
Something I said
Checkmated by frustration...
...Need to be cut loose
A different kind of being lost
...A sullen cost
Picaboo street
in Timbuktu
Do I need repeat
That a boy
named Sue
Rockin'
to the beat
Of the kangaroo
Let me kiss your feet
And your
forehead
too

Walkabout
 

I think I'll go on a walkabout
And find out what it's all about
Just me and my own two feet
In the heat I've got myself to meet
A detective of perspective I
Need to try to get a bigger eye
I could learn the art of life
On a walk I could find a wife
On a walkabout
You could do it in the city
You could do it in a zone
You could do it in a dessert
You could do the unknown
On a walkabout
High dessert skies are what I spy
So flyÑyou've got to wonder why
The stingrays must be fat this year
Moving slow in my lowest gear
The digirido original man with a dream
I believe the Aborigine
On a walkabout
You could do it with a shuffle
You could do it with a stroll
You could do it with a stride
You could do it all alone
On a walkabout
I've been sitting far too long
At homeÑI've got to get along
A walk could cure most all my blues
bare feet or in my two shoe
Bloodwood flowers in my gaze
Walkabout in a sunny daze
On a walkabout
I think I'll go on a walkabout
Find out what it's all about
Just me and my own two feet
In the heat I've got myself to meet
Use your legs to rock it wide
Take a ride to the other side

Tearjerker
 

My mouth fell open
Hoping that the truth
Would not be true
Refuse the news
I'm feeling sick now
What the fuck am I
Supposed to do
Just loose and loose
First time I saw you
you were sitting
Backstage in a dress
A perfect mess
You never knew this
But I wanted badly for you to
Requite my love
CHORUS:
Left on the floor
Leaving your body
When highs are the lows
And lows are the way
So hard to stay
Guess now you know
I love you so.
I liked your whiskers
And I liked the
Dimple in your chin
Your pale blue eyes
You painted pictures
'Cause the one
Who hurts
Can give so much
You gave me such
REPEAT CHORUS

One Hot Minute
 

I was riding
Riding on my bike
Me with my friend
We're so alike
Am I all alone
She said all we
Have is this
We just had to stop
And share a kiss
Am I all alone
One hot minute
And I'm in it come and get it (3 times)
If I chase it
I might waste it
Come and get it
Am I all alone
Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon
And eat the sun
Sitting in the fire
A tiny wink is all
All we have
No it's not much more
But don't get mad
Am I all alone
Close your eyes
And click your heels
Can you believe
How good it feels
Am I all alone
One hot minute
And I'm in it come and get it (3 times)
If I chase it I might waste it
Come and get it
Am I all alone
Three lbs. of love
Inside my skull
A million more lives
It's never dull
Just a few times spun
Spun around the sun
A couple more or less
And then we're done
 

Falling Into Grace
 

What ever never knew
That I could feel so good
Smile in your eyes
What ever never knew
That I could walk through wood
I guess I never tried
A million years old
But just a little girl
Vibin' off the gong
Rubbin' on the bowls
Make you float around
Make your lovin' strong
And when we get
In the same place
At the same time
It is your grace
That I want to
Fall right into now
To love avow
I'm falling into grace with you
I'm falling into guru muhk
I'm falling into grace with you
I'm falling into guru muhk
She moves in a rapture
That her capsule might
Land on your star
Meditating in the morning
Head dressed in white
Beauty bazaar
You can smell the purple light
Comin' from her heart
Get lost and wet
I treat you like a teacher
'Cause that's what you are
I wanna be your pet
And when we get
In the same place
At the same time
It is your grace
That I want to
Fall right into now
To love avow
 

Shallow Be Thy Game
 

I was not created
In the likeness of a fraud
Your hell is something scary
I prefer a loving god
We are not the center
Of this funny universe
And what is something worse
I do not serve
In fear of such a curse
Shallow be thy game
2000 years look in the mirror
You play the game of shame
And tell your people live in fear
A rival to the way you see
The bible let him be
I'm a threat to your survival
And your control company
CHORUS:
You'll never burn me
You'll never burn me
I'll be your heretic
You can't contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody
To anyone who's listenin'
You're not born into sin
The guilt they try and give you
Puke it in the nearest bin
Missionary maddness
Sweep up culture w/ a broom
Trashing ancient ways
Is par for the course
It's fucking rude
To think that you're above
The laws of nature is a joke
Purple sashes feeding masses
Smoke on which to choke
I might be a monkey
When it comes to being holy
Fundamental hatred
Get down on your knees and
CHORUS
 

Transcending
 

You are my god, you are my dog
You kept me close, love never lost
I called you hippie, you said fuck off
Said your brother's a real punk rocker
 

REFRAIN:
Something gonna happen
Something very soon
Transcending flesh could be a breeze
Sending me oh over the Moon
Friends near death, you gave respect
Sympathetic Intellect
Choices are, for one and all
All we are is, leaves that fall
Round and round inside your head
Smartest fucker I ever met
Vicious fish bit at your toes
Made you lie and numb your soul
REFRAIN
Mule donkey ass you bore the load
Of all creations tortured souls
Choices are, for one and all
All we are is, leaves that fall
Hey, gone to stay
Entire lifetime flash before me
In a loving stream
Hey mother may I have lost a child
But she gave birth
To a loving stream
Ooh, never know. When the gods will come and
Take you
To a loving stream
Ooh, heart of gold
The most special things you gave me were
From your loving stream
In a loving stream
Fuck the magazines
Fuck the green machine
See the human being
In a loving stream
Fuck the legal greed
Fuck the nothing scene
See the family
In a loving stream
