Born Perfect

Born Perfect
Born perfect in a milky sea
As we slept the Gods watched over thee
Born perfect in a milky sea
As we slept the Gods watched over thee
Catching sharks out in the currency
Taking bites out of reality
All we do is cash the currency
Come swim the reality
Life is fine
Dancing naked and drinking wine
Hu Hu Hu Hu
Mighty conqueror coming from the sea
Lord Intruder I’m a refugee
In Reality I want to be
Like the blue man in the paintings I see
Life is fine
Dancing naked and drinking wine
BLUE BLUE
My dad was the dude that indeed
Did the deed that was needed
To bring me into this world
To bring me into this world
Life is fine
Dancing naked and drinking wine
Blue

Picking Up The Pieces

Picking up the pieces
She tossed me a set of eyes
Smashed my chin, snapped my neck
In a manner blunt and derelict
Churning volcano
Your mouth is on fire
Caribbean woman
Molasses Razor wire
We’ve got to pick up the pieces again... Reconstruction
Your self-reliance makes me want to stand up and walk
Weary, hungry, forgotten, shocked, Bishops in the flock
Looking for loved ones among the destruction
We need more encouragement for benevolent behavior
Time is a weapon of distraction
Time is distraction
It's time people for reaction
We’ve got to pick up the pieces again... Reconstruction
Your self-reliance makes me want to stand up and walk
People loving people
People helping people
People loving people love

Cellblock Door
It’s a cold feeling when they lock the cellblock door
A lonesome feeling you will walk the floor
It’s a cold feeling when they lock the cellblock door
A lonesome feeling you will walk the floor
You’ve got shackles on your hands
You don’t feel like a man anymore
People that run that Jail are mean and they aint no good
People that run that Jail are mean and they aint no good
They don’t treat person like a person should
You’ve got shackles on your hands
You don’t feel like a man anymore
They are bullies and lazy
The whole scene’s fucking crazy
We must live and let live but it’s
Hard to forgive yes it is
If they let me go
Won’t be a bad boy no more
Take these shackles from my hands
I am a man

Nothing On My Mind

Nothing on my mind
The winds brought change today
The Sun was brilliant yesterday
On the ground
If they take my body away
I’ll be with you anyway
On the ground
There is nothing on my mind
That’s fine
When the drama’s over and
You feel like starting over
Come see about me
There are changes in the trees
Flowers and the fleas
Come see about me
There is nothing on my mind
That’s fine
I have gathered from what I’ve heard
There’s a monster in the Earth
We’re spinning ‘round
For what our spark is worth
All the hard work
We’re spinning ‘round
There is nothing on my mind
That’s fine

The Light
When we meet somebody
We stand before the light
Down inside
Burning bright
Keeping eyes wide open
Searching for the light
Deep inside
Shine Bright
While I’m on this journey
I tote this heavy load
The weight is mine
To carry alone
When I loose this body
Leave this world behind
I am the light
Shine bright

Only One

Only One
You are the only one who likes to dance ‘til dawn
Spinning records and kissing all night long
You are the only one
You are the one who knows how I like my eggs
Only one with those sexy legs
You are the only one
At night when you ought to be dreaming
You hold your head and you are weeping
You are the only one who can calm my rages
Stand by as this fickle world changes
You are the only one
Only one who can satisfy my life
The only one to make my wife
You are the only one

Another Day at the Office
Another day at the office I feel fine
I wish everybody had a view like mine
I’ve got my health and work for myself
Not rich but I’m not without wealth
I’m not in the grind or in a bind
I let the high tide - relax my mind
Another day at the office the water is fine
I wish everybody enjoyed a life so kind
When her Majesty rings, you will hear me sing
Kiss my baby and grab my wings
Flying thru the air with executive flair
Duty calls I’ll be there
Love what you do, do what you love
Be true, you don’t have to shove - rise above
Another day at the office the water is fine
I wish everybody had a taste of this wine
Rocking the free world, petting pretty girls
This big blue oyster has so many pearls
We might take a rocket tonight
Hold me tight - rocket right

Mean World
This can be a mean world to live in
But it keeps spinning everyday
The sun will rise tomorrow
Like it did today
Keep on walking
You will be winning any day
So many friends have gone
We must carry on
You came to this world from a boy and a girl
It started with a kiss

Must Forgive
02:56
|

Must Forgive
We must forgive and never forget
Have peace without regret
There is power in forgiving
Start with yourself
You can’t love somebody else
If you refuse to love yourself
Sleeping beauty fades and blames it on age
We must cultivate learn to turn the page
Change is in your mind
Change your thought
You can’t love somebody else
If you refuse to love yourself
Dream big because dreaming is free
Believe possibilities
Have courage when darkness is near
Open your heart love will appear
You can’t love somebody else
If you refuse to love yourself

Never Done This Before

Never done this before
Morning sun to the ground
Mr. Square to Miss Round
Chestnut reaching to the sky
The rain sang it to the windowpane
Again and again
Long legged bird gave answer cry
I have never, I have never, never, ever, done this before
Fire pressed to the holy man,
‘There must be a better man:
Have no sorrow, have no fear’
‘Screamed the dream to my head’
The glad tadpole said
‘There is so much beauty out here’
I have never, I have never, never, ever, done this before
500,000,000,000 points of light
Flying thru the empty night
Until, bound by gravity, you are here with me
Morning sun to the ground
Mr. Square to Miss Round
Chestnut reaching to the sky
Hand under earth
Death and birth
Little girl to little boy crying their tears of joy

Shine Caroline
Apollo snuck thru the meadow
Steam clung to the air
In the haystack Lina threw her head back
And pressed her notions across my ears
Shine Caroline
We swam that summer and over the clover
Played in the Shade of the Oak
In the pass we spread in the sweet grass
And made a mess from that cotton dress
Shine Caroline, Shine Caroline, Caroline
We covered mountains and swung thru jungles
She clenched her thigh and clung to the vine
We rolled deserts and tumbled oceans
The moon hung low and gave a lover’s sigh
Shine Caroline
Highlife Jack knife hold me tight thru this life
Highlife Jack knife hold tight
Some trick-and-treater has got a sweet tooth tonight
Shine Caroline, Shine Caroline, Caroline
Crimson fingers surrendered twilight
Cicadas vocified thru the night
Lina - leaned - low and kissed me
Artemis’ tears swam in her eye
Shine Caroline
We held each other over heaven
Ions and planets slowly wound
We held tight over heaven
The sun exploded and the stars fell down
Shine Caroline, Shine Caroline, Caroline
