I’m gonna tell my momma,
I love her so
and thank you for giving
me these bones o gold
I’m gonna run from my home
Jump in the river and let
the
water soak the sin in my
soul.
Fine time we all crossed
lines
make the music that makes
us feel fine
Rednecks on sun decks hearing
a hillside Romeo say
"Boy’s this is the good
shit, so come on all and eat a little bit."
Don’t even say a word, it
confuses me.
What he says to do, is that
we don’t have to.
We don’t have to.
See I’m so High to you, so
I’ll fade away
I said your on your own
Your Mom and Daddy said
, that your
sister said, and your brothers
saying
Everybody is saying Everybody,
is
saying I, eye God I gotta
go!!
All my friends patronize
me and
They say YO Hey Boy! Have
you
found what your looking
for.
It seems they don’t really
know me cause it’s here and its what they can’t see.
Hey I'd like to daze away
to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could
call mine
Then only I could own
Where I could hum a tune
anytime
I choose, and then there
is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain
just calm and sane
What a place for one to
find
Now you see I'm watching
everything
I do and they're watching
everything I say
Why wont they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching
me
I said they're watching
me, watching me, watching me
Now in my corner I got the
ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth
my life
I didn't mean to feel this
way
When I walked into the door,
Lord
Then they ripped away my
memories
And I cant remember who
I was before
My mind is a mind that I
have come to know
And my eyes can’t conceive
a world that can not grow
And Fridays are always fresh
days
Screamin’ at the sun, don’t
really
Know what he has done
He don’t believe in God
and a world as one
So he rambles through the
weeds
And he will sleep beneath
the trees
On the day I die, Thank
God my
Soul will be released
I’ve seen all your eyes
And I’ve seen all your faces
Can you tell me honestly
that you wanna be free?
Then look in my eyes
I’ve been lots of places
Can you tell me honestly
that you’d want to be me
Honestly
Said oh God you’ve got to
help me a little bit
you’ve got to have a relief
file for me
Now I know I’m always right,
that’s a
thought that never even
crossed my mind
Don’t touch me there I’ve
gotta be pure
So smack that hand, and
read this verse
So I wrecked your life,
what the heck
My new found faith will
pay by check
This life’s took a toll
on my soul
So this is me and that’s
my song
And I guess that you can
see that we don’t get along
I’ve shut the doors on what
we had
so now she can sleep with
her Dear ol’ Dad
my eyes are dry and my hands
are clean
and I can’t believe all
the things I’ve seen
Oh My God!!
When you feel your life ain’t
worth living
you‘ve got to stand up and
take a look around you then
a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts
are broken, keep on dreaming
boy
cause when you stop dreamin’
it’s time to die.
And as we all play parts
of tomorrow,
some ways will work and
other ways we’ll play.
But I know we all can’t
stay here
forever, so I want to write
my
words on the face of today.
and then they’ll paint it
and oh as I fade away, they’ll
all
look at me and say, Hey
look at
him and where he is these
days.
When life is hard, you have
to change.
I just want some one to say
to me
I’ll always be there when
you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep
my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll
have it made
And I don’t understand why
I sleep all day
And I start to complain
that there’s no rain
And all I can do is read
a book to stay awake
It rips my life away, but
it’s a great escape
escape, escape
All I can say is that my
life is pretty plain
ya don’t like my point of
view
ya think I’m insane
Its not sane, it’s not sane
I just want someone to say
to me
I’ll always be there when
you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep
my cheeks dry today
so stay with me and I’ll
have it made
I don’t know what I’ve gotten
into
But I’m glad it’s now instead
of sooner
This desert heat has crowded
me strong
With a wish I had for winter
It’s not as gentle as it
sounds
As though it sounded yesterday
When I heard a leaf of my
life hit the ground
And as a bottle cap flew
from my fingers
I don’t know what I’ve gotten
in to
But I’m glad it’s now instead
of sooner
This desert heat has crowded
me strong
With a wish I had for winter
..And the sands blew in my
eyes
I stood on the edge and
looked down to see
The light of a new life,
shinning up on me
..With a wish that I had
The sand blew in my eyes
As I feel the moon rise
The time that all feels
is the right time
Here in our sleepy house
As I wipe eye bugs away,
the candle flickers at me to say
And in my head I sometimes
pray
Hey aren’t ya feeling fine
As I was as a little child
And I’m feeling better when
I’m high
With a red light shinning
on a little unity
The mistakes that I’ve made
No they don’t seem to bother
me
I sure as hell don’t feel
like
I missed any kind of train
If I could only show you
how I feel
Then you wouldn’t bother
me
And then maybe you’d see
why we
Don’t mind being blind
As I was as a little child
And I’m feeling better when
I’m high
With a red light shinning
on a little unity
I’ll probably be in a little
while
I met a Holyman that said
that he knew the way
And he’d like to show me
so my life won't go astray
Take my hand child now little
boy don’t you be afraid
I’ll take your soul and
walk on water
Holyman, ya don’t understand
The cuts on me they run
much deeper
Holyman, you righteous man
I’ve been shown the way
a thousand times
Not one a keeper
Older man he said I’ll tell
you boy
You’ve planted rotten seeds
And in a land of happiness
They’ll grow us evil trees
Guided minds, and eyes that
will never see
Holyman I’ll tell you
Just what it is that I believe
Holyman I tell you man you
gotta
Believe in what you see
‘Cause its you that corrupt
us man and
Deep throat philosophy
I don’t need your spells
or the little
Games you try to pull on
me
Come to think of it I don’t
need your religion
Gotta get away
I wish you would understand
Everybody prays
Let me find my own way
What were you thoughts, as
they
Were flying through your
mind
Compared to what you feel
from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what
do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you’d been
better
Off if you’d just told the
truth
Never had a problem ‘till
I stood face to face with me
And I wish there was a way
for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people
who have torn a piece of me
As I grew from a seed to
a tree
Can you feel the power of
the eye
That’s hidden away 5 feet
from where we lie
What do you taste, when
you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to
ask if I asked you to leave
Please just leave 'cause
I want to be alone
There’s a fine line between
love and my feelings for you
High time I washed it all
away
Unkind, I watch your future
burn before you
Denied, a chance of any
love in your life
And I ask you one time..Why?
Jimmy, we need to borrow
this for a minute
Cause we need to escape
Now there’s so many things
that
He’s gonna do in 5 lifetimes
Hell I could do ‘em all
Yeah and while he’s rolling
his own smokes
He says to me he’s buying
a new ride today
A classic deal the boss
will give
He said the same thing two
weeks ago
You’ve seen that sweaty jet
rag
Feeling come over him, and
I’ve
Seen that boy nod into a
dream a time or two
And on his way out his glazed
stare
Will make you stop and wonder
Hey William is that the
last time
I’m gonna look at you?
But the next day phone will
ring
And it will be him
Can you drive?
Jimmy, what would you say
what would you do
Oh should I pray?
Or do you think that this
blind mind
would listen to me, anyway
My faith is falling like
the leaves from a tree
The pockets both take it
away
The sun warms my body as
I’m
Sittin’ on a swing watching
Columbus clouds bring in
the rain
Oh well I think it’s time
Its time to go
My mind is playing tricks
on me all the time
To let you know that I am
real
And all the worries you
build
Up inside your soul
The ones that make your
world stand still
Mean you can feel, that
it’s time to go..
Are you fed up, Are you
fed up with me?
Do you think you could do
better?
Do you think that I know
better?
Do they think that they
know better?
Five fed up faces with the
itch to kill a king
Blood red sunshine, and
a breath to air that’s clean
I drink from the faucet
From the porch I take a
pee
I look at you through the
bushes
Where you can’t see me
I laugh and slip into another
state of mind
To let you know that I am
real
And all the worries you
build up inside your soul
The ones that make your
world stand still
Means you can feel, that
it’s time to go
