Pig

Oh isn't it strange,
How we move our lives for another day
like skipping a beat
But if a great wave should wash us all the way
just thinking out loud
don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
but look at my love
It's alive right now
Deep outside sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears and drinking
And in the evening spend dancing you and me

OH

this love will open our world
from the dark side we can see the glow of something right
oh there's much more we can see here

Don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day
Don't burn the day away

Is this not enough?
this blessed sip of life is it not enough
Staring down at the ground
Or then complain and pray for more from above
You greedy little thing
Stop just what your world ticking away
I'd jump problem now
and all be dead and gone in a few short years

OH

Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more then we could ever know oh so

Don't burn the day
Away
Don't burn the day
Away

Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying, open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Watch out this high notion
All that the best is yet to come
In all while your dancing on the ground
Don't think of oh when your done

Love (love)
Love (love)
Love (love)
What more is this?
Cause we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There's been times
But that's ok
Just look the love in there

And don't burn the day
Away

Look here I will weap
on this starry night staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust lying down here

What point could I be traveling?
Head down wondering what would become of me
Why can't sun, we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
The kindness, your time that's alright
Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night
And take your hand from your eyes my love
All good things must come to an end sometime

But don't burn the day
Away
Don't burn the day
Away

Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying, open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Watch out this high notion
All that the best is yet to come
But all while your dancing on the ground
Don't think of when your gone

Love (love)
Love (love)
Love (love)
What more is this?
Cause we, need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
The bad times
Well That's ok
Just look the love in here

yeah!

Just let the love in here



The Stone

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things are not
 as they seem
 Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep
 I've been praying
For some way to show them
 I'm not what they see
Yes I have done wrong
But what I did I thought
needed be done
I swear
Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
This weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if
 you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head
 won't hold on
 I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake and
now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
 I was just wondering if
 you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
 If not I'll go
 I will go alone
I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
 And it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and
a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if
 you'd come along
Tell me you will


The Last Stop

Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
 Fire grows from the east
 How is this
 Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
 If hate's the gate to peace
  This is the last stop
For raining tears
    War
  The only way to Peace
 I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
Oh no
 Gracious even God
Bloodied the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mother's cry
"Is hate so deep
  Must a baby's bones
 This hungry fire feed?"
 As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
  Scream
Right is wrong now
 Shut up you big lie
This black and white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
 But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Here there's more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're always so right
There you are nailing a good tree
   Then say forgive me, forgive me
  Why
Raining tears
This is the last stop
 Here there is more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white



The Dreaming Tree

Standing here
 The old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
 Below it he would sit
 For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
 What forever took to find
Now he's falling hard
 He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
Remembered mother's words
There beneath the tree
"No matter what the world
You'll always be my baby"
 Mommy come quick
 The dreaming tree has died
 The air is growing thick
A fear he cannot hide
 The dreaming tree has died
Oh have you no pity
This thing I do
I do not deny it
 All through this smile
As crooked as danger
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
Will you not talk
Can you take pity
I don't ask much
But won't you speak
Please
From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then
For sure she'd make the grade
Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her wake
She gave it all she had
 But treasures slowly fade
Now she's falling hard
 She feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart
She drinks to fill it up
A smile of sweetest flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
 She thinks when she was small
There on her father's knee
How he had promised her
"You1ll always be my baby"
 "Daddy come quick
 The dreaming tree has died
 I can't find my way home
There is no place to hide
 The dreaming tree has died"
Oh if I had the strength...
 Take me back
Save me please
 

Spoon

Spoon has come
Stirring my Coffee
I thought of you
and turned to the gate
and on my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head and the answers were gone

From hand to hand,
Wrist to the Elbow.
Read
Blood sand could there be god?
Crosses Cross out like a wet rag
Forgive you why you hung me out to dry.

maybe I'm crazy But laughing out loud
make the pain pass by
And maybe your little crazy
From Laughing out Loud
With yourself

I'm Holding.. I'm holding
I'm still falling down still falling

Spoon has come
Stirring my Coffee
I thought of this and turned to the gate
And on my way cracked lightning then thunder
I hit my head and the storm slipped away
And maybe I'm crazy from laughing out loud make it all pass by
Maybe your little crazy to laughing out loud make it all right.

Laughing out loud

(Alanis) From time to time minutes and hours
Move ahead soon like a highness
In the moon and rise and vanish
This drop of hope falls from time

(Dave) Spoon in Spoon
Strirring my coffee
I think of this and turn to go away
Well as i walk, the voices behind me say
Send the sin come now on way

Laugh out loud
Come now on way


Stay

We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
 I watched as sweat ran down your face
 Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
  Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay
for awhile
Later on the sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
 For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
  I was kissing you
You were kissing me love
From good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine
 Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
Wasting time
I shall miss these things
When it all rolls by
What a day
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
 Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
  Stay a while
Come on love
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile



Crush

Crazy, how it feels tonight.
Crazy, how you make it all alright, loves.

Crush Me,
With those things you do
And I'll do for you
Anything, too, oh...

Sitting, smoking, feeling high...

And in this moment
Oh, it feels so right...

Lovely lady, I'm at your feet,
Oh, God I want you so badly.
And I wonder this
Could tomorrow be so wonderous
As you lay sleeping.

Let's go drive 'til morning comes,
Watch the sunrise and fill our souls up,
And drink some wine till we get drunk.
Yes...

Crazy, I'm thinking,
Just knowing that the world is round
And here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
And is this real, or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady, let me drink you, please.
Won't spill a drop, no, I promise you
Lying under a spell you cast on me
Each moment the more I love you.

Crush me, come on
Oh, yes...

Crazy, I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
And here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
Is this real at all, or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady, I will treat you sweetly
Adore you, I mean...
You Crush me,
And it's times like these
When I think I really know
How I love you.

Come on, come on, baby...

Crazy, I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
To each other we'll be facing
My love, my love,
We'll beat back the pain we've found
You know I mean to tell you
All the things I've been thinking
Deep inside, my friend.
Each moment the more I love you.

Crush me, come on, baby...

So much you have given, oh
That I would give you back, again and again.
Oh, the love, many now hold you,
But please, please, just let me, always. 


Dont Drink The Water

Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come out, come out, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me.

So you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.

Away, away, you have been banished.
Your land is gone, and given to me.

And here I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.

What's this you say, you feel a right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you.

What's that you say, your father's spirit still lives in this place?
Well, I will silence you.

Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving.
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now.

And as you go I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
I have no time to justify to you,
Fool, you're blind, move aside for me.

All I can say to you my new neighbor,
You must move on or I will bury you.

Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them.
I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls,
I'll build Heaven and call it home.
Cause you're all dead now.

I live with my justice
And I live with my greed in me
I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feet
I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me

Don't Drink the Water
Don't Drink the Water
Blood in the water
Don't Drink the Water 



Rapunzel

Ha, open wide
All so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious,
Perfect little mouth
There upon I linger
You will have no doubt
I'll do my best for you
Love...

Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
'Bout the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertips and kissing
Turn me inside out
I do my best for you

Up and down we go
From the top you push me
This is such a thrill
Lost in love and dancing
Shake your tamborine
You blow my head wide open
Of this there's no doubt
I do my best for you

From you I would crawl
Through the darkest dungeon
Climb the castle wall
You are my Rapunzel
You let down your hair
Right in through your window
Good they locked the door
I do my best for you

I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Bloom through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
I give my world to you
To you I'll be true

From you my strength is full
To carry your burdens too

Too good to be real
Smell of something cooking
You my soul to steal
Food of love we're filling
What you've given me
For it there is no measure
Of one thing I am sure
I'll give my best for you

Hip lock up so tight
You know drive me crazy
Crazy is alright
With you lookin' at me
You make me feel high
Every single thing you do to me
Is like I'm drunk
Given me given me
The shiver
