Beefy 03:40
Elastic grasp Snapped back my dark synapse Blacklight diffracted Thru my glass eyelash Come and climb through the hole in my halo Feel my horns intact Try and cut the red out my rainbow Watch it grow right back The weight of shame Has kept me tame too long Sane or insane I’ll dance to my own song Come and climb through the holes in my halo Feel my horns intact I grew dormant like a volcano Feel my flow come back However passion Springs forth or draws back Some strange attractor Is forging a new path I’ve been holding out Well, holding out, I don’t know why Dismantle doubt I want to shout, I want to cry Starting to unfold All I hold, deep down inside I am making room For hope to bloom into the light

Wahoo 05:11
It penetrates thru your cells, scattered leaves, tattered shirt, It penetrates thru your cells, it'll bleed, it'll hurt I was grieving too intense, I fell apart , now just repent I don't care if it's fleeting, I'll follow the feeling, i'll follow Oh my God do you think I’m a Wahoo? Oh my oh my God! When I walked out my god said do what my gut says I’m gonna freak out, yeah An appetite for destruction, tasting like it's bound to fail Holy cow, Nosferatu, oh my god do you think i'm a wahoo? Two hundred volts of lightning, satisfy all my desires An ear to the ground and one to the corkscrew oh my gosh does that make me a wahoo? Oh My God do you think i’m a wahoo? Oh my my my my God, woohoo When I walked out my god said to do what my gut says, ahhhaah yea I’m gonna freak out I’m gonna flipf*ckinggahh, yeah Oh my gawwd!

Boyscouts 05:49
It’s a brand new day, we are goin’ way out Follow through the haze, we are goin’ way out Many shades of gray, we are goin’ way out I found you today, we are goin’ way out Learn to identify mushrooms We ate the white-spotted red ones They taught us how to tie knots too But lately we’ve been coming undone Waaaay out [x4] When in doubt When you Nebuchadnezzar’d an Abra-Cadabra Boy Scout When in doubt When you’re tethered in leather there’s an Abra-Cadabra way out Just let the cat scratch your eyes out Learn to see things in a new way The frogs eat the flies in the outhouse The flies like to feast on the decay ~ Been away and it’s over and you hold on to... Try to teach us to survive in the wild, Well I’m not comin’ home again an innocent child Hands are up, you don’t believe me Well I told them all the truth There’s no convoluted reason Just our spirits are in bloom We’ll reclaim the Garden Eden On a sunny afternoon It’s too late, the apple’s eaten Now I can’t come home to you

High Volume 04:37
I'll make the rain jealous and swallow you whole What's out there is in here and sucked in the fold Wake up, we're shook up out of bed Your hands cannot pick up all that you have Little secrets I can treasure balanced on all fours I can feel the fault-lines cracking underneath the floors Hold in those feelings as dry as the earth Fall down, we're all down now stay where you were And I'll watch the rain swallow me whole Our luck's the same wherever we go Lived a life of quiet leisure, minding all my chores I can feel them run for shelter all along the shore Bitter seeds in ravaged gardens and all I ever need in high volume Bitter seas in ravaged gardens and all I ever need in high volume Lived a life of hope and leisure and all I ever need in high volume Little secrets I can treasure and all I ever need's been early warning Sifting sands on tiny islands and all ever need in high volume Bitter seeds in ravaged gardens and all I ever need in high ocean

Pomegranate 05:39
Won’t you hold a pomegranate, ‘til I know you love the planet? Well you’ve gone to waste Well I saw you gaze at it Don’t you know you gotta turn you gotta run you gotta walk along the waste Is it yours is it mine, what’s fair? Is it time to die, well who cares? You’ve been to space, I’ve done the same, you make a face I make it rain! I was meant to be a star, shinin’ bright shinin’ bright through the dark, honesty I was meant to be a star, as it is I’m livin’ in a car, honesty, honestly yea I was meant to be a star, not alone. Livin’ through the heart honesty, honestly yea I was meant to be a star, in the bright light, livin’ large Honesty right here to say, harmony light-years away Fall asleep at the wheel, Fall asleep, honesty ahhhhh Would you hold a pomegranate, til I know that you’ve had it? Can you wait a day? Must be hard to raise those addicts Got a son, got a daughter, got a lover, gotta wash the waste away Are you there are you there are you there? All your stupid face and all your stupid hair I meant to say that I’m okay, meant to do the same today [x2] I was meant to be a star, Cigar cigar cigar I can see me losing parts, I can be me losing charge I was meant to be a star, like a light blue holy God Honesty is tryn’a sway, I already lost my way I was tryn’a go alone, give it life…turns to stone Honesty is all you say, odyssey is in decay I was tryn’a fall in love, with the ruby eyes and stolen mud Don’t tell me all is all’s okay, Don’t tell me honesty is on its way Fall asleep at the wheel, Fall asleep Honesty Ahhhhh [x4] ~[Strut of Power]~ It’s her, yea, the Other Track Dragster You wanna race, well, I’m on your back now, giddy-up! From miles away Get lost! Now the handicap cattle get ground down to a paste Okay, so you’ve given up, please get out of the way It’s her, yea, the Little Girl of Laughter, just tryn’a say “Slow down, try standing in one place” These days, these months, these years are just going to waste Give it up now, I’ll hold you, things will be okay.

Wound Tight 03:59
Wound tight, everyone’s runnin’ around And I just want to bury my head in the ground Oh but only my heartstrings know where I’m bound You tend to your fire beneath of the sea Do you know just how much that endears you to me? While we dance like a helix whose bonds must break free I’m tired, this mess of hellos and good-byes And my feelings rush in and just as soon subside Well I have grown too weary to gamble my pride I give a smile, then turn it away I want it all so I’m running in place Praying to the omnidirectional face And plant my seeds for another day It’s all the things that I wanted to say They got fermented cuz they came out too late I Love you all, I’m goin’ away ~ The wind is howlin’ Hunker down, we all make it out in the end My demon prowlin’ Light and sound have become too loud in my head I dreamt your Mountain I can feel ya, reachin’ with your talons ‘round the bend ~ Well I have grown too weary, but I`ll be just fine

Tear the rider from your head Raise your childhood from the dead We’re somersaulting too We’re somersaulting thru the floor Flail the routine from your neck Lift those limbs up over bed Rainbow sparkle you Somersaulting thru the floor We flipped the furniture on its side, it's where we’re hiding out And if we ever go outside, we’ll find them lying down in silence silence silence Roll around, I’m aroused, just roll around, I’m aroused And they’ll love your bones, they’ll still love your bones, wanting you to be well and there's a plot hole deep inside you We’ll walk around frickin’ walk around, after we’re dead and gone, strike a portal up among us Tear the ransom from your head You can worry about it when you're dead It’s pouring out of you Somersaulting through the floor Worried about taking it too far, but we're laughing now, now, now, now Roll around, I’m aroused, roll around, I’m aroused And they’ll love your bones they’ll still love your bones, after your head’s gone and there's a plot hole deep inside you We’ll walk around frickin walk around, wanting just to be well, strike a portal up among us ~ Grow cyborg, grow cyborg, grow Grow while the flies are licking your chrome

Time Warp 04:16
Did you turn yourself around and deny where you stand? All the while deriving how to survive in the past? And say you wanted time like we had before, That we all need to time warp, we all need the time warp, we all needed time like we had before, we don’t need the time warp we don't need the time warp we don’t need... Come on let’s dance with all the circumstance We’ll make it ours, we’re off to distant lands Did you find yourself alone and it sifts through the sand? Can’t watch your bed erode while your head’s in your hands? Say you wanted time like we had before, that we all need the time warp, we all need the time warp we all need time like we had before, but we can’t even time warp, we can't even time warp, we can’t even... let your rhythms out in the world we gotta let those tremors shake let your rhythms out in the world we gotta let those children fail…

Before our dear Earth had started to give birth the Fire reigned supreme Meteors from Space imported Water's grace and thus began our dream Slowly they made Oceans, something strange was growin’, roots were taking hold In these new conditions Life began its mission, started to unfold Bacterial whims made creatures that could swim and battle in the dregs Someone’s son or daughter crawled out of the water, started to grow legs Reptiles ran amok in a great cluster-fuck and grew up terribly large Some grew wings and flew, some stayed Ocean-true and some made land their charge Many Million years were like this it appears ‘til hell came raining down Our small furry cousins survived this because they burrowed underground We all wonder back to our Origins Don’t you want to heal the divide? We're all intertwined Touch me with the tips of your tentacles Come now and we'll build you a spine We’re all intertwined There's no easy way out! ~ Yea! Nah. ~ Mammals they were thriving, swimming, running, climbing, screaming from the trees Some were eating others, some were taking cover, most would spread their seed Somewhere in the madness, monkey mind expanded, saw something profound Highfalutin’ apes made guns and put on capes and changed it all around Nature has a fierceness, some may appear fearless, some appear surreal Birds of Paradise don’t have to sacrifice their beauty for a shield Predators approach in step with hungry ghosts so flee now or be bold We can make safe space for transformation’s grace to break the stubborn mold We all wonder back to our Origins Tell me what you see in the sky We're all intertwined Touch me with the tips of your tentacles Teach me how to dance with the tide We're all intertwined There's no easy way out! ~ All our Myths well they are hinting there is something more There’s always a secret door Heed the signs because we are each an interface For what’s beyond time and space Manifest of forces we don't understand Something wants to hold your hand Like a flute that’s gotcha dancing like a dazzled snake To codes that we can rearrange ~ Hold your head up darlin’ Don't you know you are the fruit of a strange and ancient plant In the Sun's close starlight Each of us participate in its fate the best we can And by using hindsight We can glimpse the magick patterns of the Infinite wingspan

Manatees 07:30
I took shelter deep in your mouth, Played in the places, lingered about while unknown Follow your bones or follow your brains, swallow the flow as it runs down the drain, we drank it Naked like Manatees wash in the tide Mating and migration patterns align, we sway Merging together, hopeful, entwined, our sex and the beach and the shriek mark our letters and lives Dove through your endocrine, molten love odyssey, floated like time machine fossilized memory while some hardened gardener entranced by your botany opens these puffy eyes to you staring back at me With homeward we go mammals at play Measured in distances so out of reach We were dizzy in the streets and on our feet, they had us surrounded And what kind of people do we want to be? All we could've learned, we could’ve seen, we were stubborn instead To run from your enemies, added complexity Treacherous passages of unknown topography While some ardent arsonist who wants to get fiery Hands burning up by the heat of your effigy Home, where'd we go? holding these frail frames Don’t leave the past behind, don’t leave the past behind Electro-shock ambulance carries me back to life What’s with the attitude? what’s with that sparky dude? Some squeaking mockingbird cranked out the latitude ~ Hey you, fire me up a new one (it’s the end of the world) Hey you, carve me out a new world Hey you fire me up, a new one If you light me up, I will Will you swim on out to me? (it’s the end of the world) Hey you, fire me up ~
