I can't talk my talk with you Nothing's ever soaking through The filter that surrounds your thoughts And holds out lessons left untaught

I had a dog. His name was Jim (Runaway, runaway, runaway) Took all of my old clothes with him (Runaway, runaway, runaway) Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim Whoa-ooooooooooooooo oh Runaway Jim

I spoke your name for many days pronouncing it in several ways and moving letters all around And substituting every sound

And we're glad glad glad that you're alive And we're glad glad glad that you'll arrive And we're glad glad glad glad glad glad glad And we're glad glad glad that you're a glide

I can bend in 68 ways I have lived for Page: twenty-three thousand and sixty-seven Fishman: twenty-two thousand, four hundred and twenty-three Trey: twenty-two thousand, five hundred and sixty-five Mike: twenty-two thousand, three hundred and nineteen For a grand total of 90374 days

Whatever you do take care of your shoes

Little Suzy Greenberg, with her head caved in Soon to let me drown beneath the undertow You better put that woman in a looney bin 'Cause you know I'd really like to be a part of her show

Appendages flailing, you're running at me Ferocious tenaciously, clawing at me The devious gelatin holding me fast Miraculous now, you let me ooze past

How could you know that I lived in a desperate world? How could you dream that we were all made out of stone? What is the truth, what is the faithful lasting proof? What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?

Beneath their heels I'll spend my time I'll wriggle in the earth and dew and sometimes I will think of you And if you ever think of me kneel down and kiss the earth and show me what this thought is worth

It's a limited time that we exist We slowly make our way into the mist

Of holding forth from singing words Of flying south with flocks of birds None of this was charged to me For as I said it was for free

Silent scenes In motion means I'll wake you when we're there Oh sing softly

They will come To form one tribe The tone romancer Mosaic spirit scribe Crimson robed And golden firelight crowned High above the ground High above the ground On pillow jets of sound On pillow jets of sound

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Somebody's jumping in the tub with your brother Somebody's jumping in the tub with your brother

Mystified and misshapen Misinformed but not mistaken Undecided, undefined

But I'm hooked up to a machine It performs my daily functions Through a tube in my wien

I grab myself and spin me around I start to sprint I climb down to steadier ground If I could bushwhack it on back to the shack Behind those hills I’ll find the world is finally still

Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad Because you deserve better and once I was it But somehow my good intentions just got up and git

When we go out to eat, what do I do? I try to kill you When we go out to eat, what do I do? Oh, I am killing you

Silent in the morning Suspended in the trees Lunch time comes you've found your voice It brings me to my knees The volume just increases The resounding echoes grow 'Til once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so

Don't give up hope Don't give up hope Keep dreaming Keep on dreaming Don't give up hope Don't give up hope

I'm building you a pyramid With limestone blocks so large I drag them from the mountain top You'll need a two car garage

Joy is over there in her incredible clothes She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes I was doing the best that I can I suppose But that little girl dancer eventually grows She grows

Rabid victim martyr stranded Level headed boy, ya better bend Soon your luscious honey sugar Mellifluous life is gonna end

A song I heard the ocean sing A shining light in darkness deep I prayed a prayer into the tide And both they soothed me in my sleep

Slow slow, my brother You will sleep again Long long, when it passes You will breathe again Snow falls... and it passes

I didn't even know your name or what was your game But stealin' things has sure brought you to fame I wanna know if you stole mine It was one of a kind and I'm sayin' if you're to blame Your life will never be the same

She saw Bill drop his shovel on a pile of gravel As he climbed up out of his ditch She was wonderstruck when he climbed in her truck He said "I've been havin' this everlasting itch"

I can bend in 68 ways I have lived for Page: twenty-three thousand and sixty-six Fishman: twenty-two thousand, four hundred and twenty-two Trey: twenty-two thousand, five hundred and sixty-four Mike: twenty-two thousand, three hundred and eighteen For a grand total of 90370 days

Birds of a feather are flocking outside Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants Of ritual drumming although at first glance You thought you could run but you won't take a chance

אבינו מלכנו חננו ועננו אבינו מלכנו חננו ועננו כי אין בנו מעשים. עשה עימנו צדקה וחסד עשה עימנו צדקה וחסד והושיענו.

Ha ha ha ha

"Looking for owls?" The young man asked Hoping to lighten the tension And the scowl he received as his only reply Made him smile as he relived the mention

I've never met a man that I could not forget Except for Guy Forget

My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule Been everywhere and he ain't no fool Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two Done everything a poor mule can do

I can smell the colors Outside on my lawn The moist green organic That my feet tread upon

Walked on coal and slept on glass Amid swords of sound and daggers of light And my heart is screaming Cause half of what I say is lies And it takes so much to keep up this disguise It takes so much to keep up this disguise

And through the bedroom door intrude A fretful frown and spoil the mood 'Cause though I never really stand that tall She tilt my frame, she watch me fall

I'm so bad (He's so nasty) Ain't got no friends (Real out-casty) Stay out of my way (Or you'll end up a cripple) I'll take this piece of paper (And slice your nipple)

You may as well keep your belly full For the time may come when you'll rely on the layer of fat That separates you from the rabid dog and the common fly To a less demanding place on your spine

Carini had a lumpy head

Then the winds would lift you up Into the sky above An you'd be treated to a view Of everything you love

I never ever saw the northern lights I never really heard of cluster-flies I never ever saw the stars so bright In the farmhouse things will be all right

Dripping in this strange design None is yours and far less mine Hold the wheel, read the sign Keep the tires off the line Just relax, you're doing fine Swimming in this real thing I call life Can I bring a few companions on this ride?

I'm floating in the blimp a lot I feel the feeling I forgot of swimming weightless in the womb or bouncing gently 'round the room In a minute I’ll be free and you’ll be splashing in the sea

I'm looking through And it all would be So crystal clear If it wasn't for the foam But the foam keeps getting thicker And it just keeps getting harder And I'm falling Into a deep Well

I love your hair in the mornings, you know You love to run wild, and let the mane flow But you run away, but we meet again soon South of the border and over the moon

His answer came in actions He never spoke a word Or maybe I lay down the phone before he could be heard

If children playing all around To you is noise not pleasant sound And you'd be lost on the playground Then this one is for you
