1. Real Blue
Hitting the same drum over again.
Sometimes it’s nice when everything ends.
Waking up too late to make a new plan.
Losing myself but finding my hand.
But I didn’t see it that way.
Now I’m hearing what you say.
Blinking lights always catches my eye;
I’d be damned if I just didn’t smile.
One day you wake up and everything’s gone -
Smile on your face you knew all along.
But I didn’t see it that way.
Now I’m hearing what you say.
Is it red or is it blue?
Is this real or is it true?
Blue as I been I’ll be back.
Keep your red dress on the rack.
Sometimes life seems kind of strange now, ain’t it strange how
You’re still waiting for that change, can’t no one go and change me!

2. Hungry
Sometimes I get tired after having dinner
Though I don’t eat so much as I’d like to think.
Then I fall apart cuz I’m a bit confused,
My mind wants me to sleep but I need to keep moving.
I don’t know if I’m
Tired or hungry,
Crying or something,
Running away from that which i love.
Missing the best parts,
Coming in too late,
Running away from that which
Makes me happy.
It makes me happy.
It’s silly but don’t ask me
What makes me happy.
You see I feel much better
When I’m wrapped in fetters.
You don’t want my help girl, I’m a total wreck man,
But I’m trying to fix it – Tryin to do the best that I
Can I see you Sunday, maybe sometime sooner,
I’ll try to do it quick, but I just gotta screw my head on baby,
Cuz we’ve all got real
Problems on the inside,
Issues to politicize;
Reasons why we need to see ourselves through your eyes.
Baby why don’t you come
Back to my apartment?
I might fall apart but it don’t mean
I don’t want it.
In fact its just the opposite.
The people who have loved ya
They leave you all uncovered.
That’s why I will
Say to you I don’t believe in
Anything related to reason,
But i hope i find that promiseland
Where there’s always feast and never famine.
I aint no hippie dropout mama, I’m just hungry.
Why’m I always hungry?

3. I Do I Do
Well there he went along the way,
He’s running, talking all this shit about
How he met the queen and how she’s really just so so;
And now I’m wondering how you made it home last night,
Because I didn’t get to see you out the door.
You know they’ll tell you everything. Your minds made up before you think.
They keep it up until you learn you’re always waiting for your turn;
And that is why i say to you I do! I do! I never do!
They tell us what to do, and what they say to you
Is what we say to everyone we meet a day.
That’s why its cool I know its you the girl I need to be with girl is
All I need to tell you now is,
That they never let me down.
He went another mile or so until was simply too much snow,
And then he turned and said to you I guess we’ll just be digging through;
So you get out and and try to move and dig until your hands are blue -
Said, “I’ll be here until it’s dawn; I’ve never been away this long.”
He tells you everything about the mind the intellect the
Books the clothes the everything – “My interests are no silly things…”
The world is going crazy now, and that’s why I have found the ground -
50 50 chance or so really either way you go.
There’s someone leaving.
They just can’t take the feeling.
They glance into a mirror,
Life is that much clearer,
Though I never tell if it is any nearer
To the day when we made all the plans for the stay,
And the future appears that we lose what we clear and that troubles just don’t go away!
Asking why,
What hope is there anyway?
That’s why I like to take it down to all the places far around.
I see the things I always dreamed and find another way to be.
That’s why they tell you too,
One always must stay true
To principles that make no sense
And other odd coincidence.
You’re running fast like nothing else,
You’re never gonna get no ass,
And that’s when I will turn to you
And say tonight my aim is true!

4. Beat Goes On
She left me a day after New Years;
I knew it would come for a while.
The last time I went on a bender,
But this time all I did was smile
My heart’s been locked up for a minute;
My hands pick the locks everyday.
When she said I’ve got to be moving,
The lock was intact, stored away.
I almost revealed all my secrets.
I guess they’re ok to let down;
But if I had given you more memories,
This smile might have looked like a frown.
She’ll walk in the next time I see her;
Perhaps she is younger or aged;
Can’t help see the future unfolding -
This heart’s breaking out of its cage!

5. I Know Who You Are
See you in the distance
Walk without resistance
Wonder where my ass is
Keep me straight you dancer
Tell me what you are
No I know who you are
(There’s a world outside)
There’s a world outside
(there’s a girl stuck inside)
It’s just outside
Go outside
See you getting closer
Maybe at the grocer
Ask you stupid questions
Hope we do it again

6. I Feel Fine
Where the mind was once so clear,
Perfectly aligned and near,
Now I’m closing in on you,
Slowly closing in on me.
Where I end and you begin,
Where am I in all this skin?
What is skin and what is bones?
Am I really all alone?
I feel great!
I feel fine!
I feel swell!
Really fine!
Can I tell what’s on my mind?
But I’m having such a good time.
I’m right here.
It’s just me.
And that’s all it needs to be.
Holding this feeling’s bad.
Let hands be hands, they’re hands just hands!
All is quiet in this place.
All this time has been erased.
Is this truly what you need,
Or maybe time’s too real for me.
Is it I who run this show?
Can I really tell me no?
No I can’t! No I can’t, now baby, baby,
I’m holding this!
Feeling’s bad!
Let hands be hands, they’re hands just hands!

7. No Bullshit
I don’t believe in no bullshit.
And when they take you down into it,
I don’t believe in you! they don’t believe in me!
I don’t believe in your function.
I can’t believe all your gumption.
They always leave you so fucked up,
Please find the means to just blow up.
How can it be you’re not like me?
Free and scary…
Never get me so tuned out
That when I slip I fade all the way out.
That’s how I took myself far away from you.
Sometimes we fall apart.
Sometimes you break my heart.
Somehow turns out ok,
We do it all over again.
Take me off across the rainbow.
Those old movies really say how,
Take you far away from real.

8. No More
Well I got nervous, I was so tired,
I didn’t know what I could do.
There was a moment when I saw you
That I could see the whole thing through.
But those days are now behind me, haven’t seen them in so long.
Now there’s something right in front of me so strong.
It dominates my field of vision,
Nothing’s clear to me.
All I know is that I must destroy it soon
They’ll be no more…
Is it something on my eye, some kind of sore?
Or is this world a place for closing all these doors?
This monster that I feel behind me,
Is it part of me or is it fate,
Keeping everyone in check,
A way of seeing what is left.

9. Rocket
When I see you
I don’t remember what’s your name.
When I see you
Do you still play at that game?
When you reach up into the drifting sea,
Like some lonesome mother’s whack a baby washed up to the sea.
Let it be
Wait and see

10. Wait and See
Never know which way I’m going -
Just know where I need to turn,
And when I get there I’ll get burned.
Tell you all about my ???
I know you don’t want to know.
Throw my blues on, walk in the cold.
Sometimes I
Must go outside
Find my mind.
And they’re gonna tell you
That you’re nothing,
You’re nothing without me,
And that’s why I
Want it now.

11. Cry Baby
You would not believe me if I told you what I felt,
Cuz I don’t know if you see me like the way I see myself.
When you tell me that you know which way is coming,
I don’t know if I can understand your voice.
Now I know what I have seen and for the last time I believe I’m in love.
The first time we fell apart it went fine.
Well the last time we fell apart it was time.
And I know which way you called me so I listened to your voice.
Everything you ask me’s not enough to make my choice.
I don’t know why, it makes me cry.
You would never listen if I told you what to do,
But it’s not like I would either so don’t think I’m judging you.
But when you tell me you can see into my future,
Don’t you think that seems a little bit obscene?
But I know what I have seen and for the last time I will scream.
