Brain Of J

Who's got the brain of JFK?
What's it mean to us now?
Pause, it self-destructs
But I can tell ya, this is no lie

The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved

You, you've been taught, whipped into shape
Now they've got you in line
Stand behind the stripe, so we'll be ordered
So give it good mind, there

The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved

And by name
The name they gave me
The name I'm letting go

The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved

Faithful

Plaque on the wall says that
No one's slept here
It's weird to come upon
A bridge that has not
Been around or been stepped on

Whatever the notion, we
Lace in our prayers
The man upstairs is used 
To all of this noise
I'm through with screaming

And echoes nobody hears
It goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears
It goes, it goes, it goes

We're faithful, we all believe
We all believe it

And echoes nobody hears
It goes, it goes, it goes

We're faithful, we all believe
We all believe it

So faithful, we all believe
We all believe it

M.Y.T.H. is belief in the game, controls
That keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen, voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, 
You are everything and everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related

What's a boy to do?
Just be, and I, and I will be too
Faithful, to you 

No Way

There's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling is so revealing to me
I've found my mind too clear

I just need someone to be there for me
I just want someone to be there for me

All the static, in my attica
Shoots down my sciatic nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd

I just need someone to be there for anyone
I just want someone to be there for
Someone to be there for me

I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way

Ooh, let's call in an angel

Cause I'll stop trying to make difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way

Cause I'll stop trying to make difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference

No way

What's calling an angel?
Who's calling an angel?

Given To Fly

He could've tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time nothing could save him

Alone in a coridoor, waitin', locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles

He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings
Hey, look at me now

Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh, he's flyin'
Whole, high, wide, whole

He floated back down cause he wanted to share
This key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere

But first he was stripped, then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers, he still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved

And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

Flying, whole
High, flying, whole
He's flying, whole

Whole

Wishlist

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was the sentimental ornament you hung on
The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top

I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
Or fifty million hands upraised and opened towards the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your housekey on
I wish I was the pedel brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up....

Pilate

Talk of circles, and punching out
Looking in, drawing circles down

Falling up then south, marking ground
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down

Like pilate, I have a dog

Walks me out of town, still one's a crowd
Making angels in the dirt, looking up, looking all around

Like pilate, I have a dog, obeys, listens, kisses, loves

Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down

Like pilate, I have a dog, obeys, listens, kisses, loves

Do The Evolution

I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace, with my lust
I can kill, cause in God I trust, yeah

It's evolution baby

I'm at peace, I'm the man
Having stocks on the day of the crash, yeah
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling hills, I'll flatten them out, yeah

It's herd behaviour, uh-huh
It's evolution baby

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, here's my coat

This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what what I want but irresponsibly

It's evolution baby

I'm a thief, I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, admire my coat

Consider, appetite for nightly feast
Those ignorant indians got nothin on me
Nothing, why? because
It's evolution baby

I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah

I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
Twenty-ten watch it go to fire

It's evolution baby

Do the evolution

Come on

The Color Red

We're all crazy
We're all crazy and we're...

MFC Mini Fast Car

Sliding
Out of reverse into drive, this
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride

She can
Remember a time denied, stood by
The side of the road, spilled like wine, now
She's out on her own and line high

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared

They said
That timing was everything, made him
Want to be everywhere, there's a 
Lot to be said for nowhere

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
He's disappeared

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear, fuck it
They've disappeared

Low Light

Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by

Low light, sidetracked
Low light, can't see my tracks
Your scent-way back

Can I be here all alone
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry

Books and jealousy tell me wrong
I will feel calm
Voice blows by

Low light, car crash
Low light, can't wear my mask
Your first, my last

Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by

Low light, eye sight
Low light

I need the light
And I'll find my way from wrong
What's real?
The dream I see

In Hiding

I shut and locked the front door, no way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway and pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every plug around
But nothing sounds, nothing sounds

I stayed where my last step left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions
And cracks along the walls

They were upside down

I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my pain was enlightened 

I'm in hiding

It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed
And it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind

I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all of my pain was enlightened 

Now I'm, I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

Push Me, Pull Me

I had a false belief, I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting, we're all just breaking like waves

The oceans made me but who came up with love?
Push me, pull me, push me
Or pull me out

Push me, pull me
Or pull me out

So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin, but let me say 
If I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground?
Somewhere nice, make it nice, where the land meets high tide

Push me, pull me
Or pull me out
Push me, pull me
Out

Like a cloud dropping rain, I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun

Push me, pull me
Or pull me out
Push me, pull me

All Those Yesterdays

Don't you think you oughta rest?
Don't you think you oughta lay your head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughta lay your head down?
Tonight

Don't you think you've done enough?
Don't you think you've got enough? 
Well, maybe
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down tonight 
Tonight

Let it wash away
All those yesterdays

What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own

So no one catches you
Drifting off and doing all the things that
We all do
Let them wash away

All those yesterdays

All those paper plates
All those yesterdays

You've got time
You've got time to escape
There's still time

It's no crime to escape

There's still time so escape
It's no crime
No crime

All those yesterdays
