A Thousand Forms Of Mind

This really feels like flying
Am I lighter than air?
Perhaps I'm on the water floating
God knows this could be anywhere

At least my lungs are still breathing
At least my heart still beats
At least my brain is still thinking
At least that's what I believe

I believe I remember slippin'
Or maybe slidin' or trippin'
The whole damn scene was rippin'
Unstable and bitin' and sickenin'

I believe I remember slippin'
Or maybe slidin' or trippin'
The whole damn scene was rippin'
Unstable and bitin' and sickenin'

Get behind me
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me (Good God all mighty)
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me (Good God all mighty)
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me, too
Get behind me

I've passed one hundred thousand houses
Every door wide open
And no place feels like home
How long must I keep going?

I Have To Laugh

Woke up this morning
I had a laugh
Saw you lying there
I had to laugh
Last night come clear
I had to laugh
Listening to the rain
I had to laugh

So I talked to the devil
Yeah, I had to laugh
I talked to God
Who just sat and laughed
Those boys are funny
Oh, they make me laugh
So damn funny
I nearly pissed my pants

There's no way out
I have to laugh
There ain't no way back
I have to laugh
The rain comes down harder
I have to laugh
It's getting darker
I have to laugh

Another day finished
Another day done
I'm right here next to you
Hoping tomorrow will come

I have to laugh

Oblivion

She rolled up from the bar with Kahlua and cream
Parked her wheel chair by the karaeoke machine
Closed her eyes and sang "Dancing Queen"
She sang the shit out of "Dancing Queen"

Oblivion

He left town because it could not get any worse
Moved to Santa Fe and increased his girth
Dropped the spoon and picked up the fork
On a commune making tinctures of the earth

Oblivion

Everybody wants a good time
Everybody wants a good time
Everybody wants everything to be all right
Everybody wants a good time

Oblivion

Try To Be Kind

So hot
And wet
Been days and days and days
Since I slept
Been rollin'
And stumblin'
And laughin' and laughin' and laughin'
And cryin' and grumblin'

Oh my heart
And my head
Cryin' out loud through every lonesome cell

When you see me comin' try to be kind
Keep in mind I'm losin' mine
When you see me comin' try to be kind

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river deep and wide
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river make it deep and wide
Now float down stream
All the way down stream and go out
With the tide

When you see me comin' try to be kind
Keep in mind I'm losin' mine
When you see me comin' try to be kind

Try, try, try
Yeah try, try, try
Try to be kind
Try, try, try
Try to be kind

Poisoned Water

Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts
Clutching anything we can
Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts
Weight of the world crushin' our backs

Tooth for a tooth
Eye for an eye
You know it's the truth
And this is why

Poisoned water poisons the mind

Backed in the corner
Drinking poisoned water
Paying for the sins of our fore-fathers
Who've beaten and cheated and raped our mother
Ever since getting kicked out of the garden

Can't you see?
Are you blind?
There's no more teeth
And this is why

Poisoned water poisons the mind

Real Low Vibe

I feel your stare, the eyes of a buzzard
Yeah, I've been there behind the shrike
Got me feeling like a second cousin
Twice removed as I pass you by

On a real low vibe

The waves are hitting kind of heavy
Every crash lands amplified
Birds and worms are running around frenzied
Back at my place there ain't no time

On a real low vibe
On a real low vibe
I can't feel time
On a real low vibe

This Is The Life

I built forty million miles of strip malls
And I painted the sky with aerosol
Plugged the hole in your pockets with credit cards
And clouded your eyes with sitcoms

I put the "con" in "convenience" and I string you along
Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong

I make tiny starving fingers sew your comfy running shoes
And I make more money than any man could ever use
Been called a cool mother fucker, but I'm not that mean
You see I'd gladly leave the dregs of the earth to the meek

Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong
This is the life

This is the life
For me

Night Of The Hunted

Got a handful of love on the left side
A handful of hate on the right
What's in between won't be appeased
It's going to be long, lonely night

I fear for your outcome
I fear for mine too
I fight off your actions, baby
We're screwed

They're all around
Trying to shoot us down
We'll stand our ground

Closing from every direction
No longer concealing their hands
They just keep on coming
I'm tired of running
Tonight we make our stand

Their number is many
Our number is two
We're in deep together, baby
We're screwed

They're all around
Trying to shoot us down
We'll stand our ground

I fear for your outcome
I fear for mine, too
We're in deep together, baby
We're screwed

We won't back down

Move With The Wind

Water is wet
And rocks are hard
But the wind, my friend
Does what it wants

So I move with the wind
I move with the wind
If I move at all

What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What the hell, how should I know?
What do you do with a drunken sailor
When you don't know what to do with yourself?

I move with the wind
If I move at all
We've run aground
Stuck on these rocks
I guess I'm all wet
That's how I got caught

Hook, line and sinker

Consider this then think of nothing
Wouldn't that be nice
Close your eyes, feel the ocean rising
Floating on a bed of spice

I move with the wind
If I move at all
We've run a ground
Stuck on these rocks
I guess I'm all wet

Hook, line and sinker

Ghost

I'm a ghost
I'm drifting into oblivion
Just a gray old ghost
And a messy oblivion

Well I've had my hopes
They're not what they used to be
I've had hopes
And that's between you and me

I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
Instead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
Instead of killing time

I think I could love if you show me
What your loving is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just a little kiss

If you're my host
Don't serve me no misery
If you're some host
Don't serve me no misery

Because I've had dreams
Sure, they're not what they used to be
Yeah, I've had dreams
But that's between you and me

I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
Instead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
Instead of killing time

I think I could love if you show me
What your loving is
I think you could show me with a little kiss

Just a little kiss

I need a fix and a kiss
Like this... ow!

Well, if you're some queen
Don't delude me with grandeur
If you're some queen
Don't delude me with grandeur

Because I've been brought down
By false love's power
I've been knocked to the ground
By false love's power

I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
Instead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
Instead of killing time

I think I could love if you show me
What your loving is
I think you could show me with a little kiss

Just give me a kiss

Not a punch and a kick
Oh, fix me
Well all right

I Will Fight No More Forever

(instrumental)

Beneath The Valley Of The Underdog

Inside the Catholic seamen's club
Every sailor is sacred
Inside the arcade right next door
All the girls dance naked

Down on my knees scrubbing the floors
Scratching at festering sores
If I'm the guy you're looking for
Just look down under some rock

Beneath the valley of the underdog

Spat upon by passers by
The spitting image of my maker
Even those who once called me friend
Were liars, thieves or fakers

And to my love who cast me off
I hope you finally made it
If you ever want to look me up
Just look down under some rock

Beneath the valley of the underdog

Talkin' Randy Tate Specter Blues

Haunted by the specter of Randy Tate
Oh, the horror of that disembodied balding pate
Cast a shadow in the sunlight and glows in the dark
And hovers among the righteous light a foetus in a jar

Claims the backing of the heavenly host
And been seen scheming with Joe McCartney's ghost
To drain away your freedom and deny you a choice
And get you belivin' in the lies they foist

With the eyes of a newt and a grinch-like grin
It throws the first stone because spirits don't sin
Well night after night I'm kept awake
Tormented by the specter of Randy Tate
