Sex sleep eat drink dream
Primal tribal apple egg vegetable eel
I have a new canoe but it does not have a wheel
Private velvet animal oldsmobile mind
I'm sitting in the fireplace burning up my time
Private velvet animal empty T.V.
They're fishing in the kitchen
But they haven't caught up to me
Primal tribal chemical digital night
I've got to get dressed to go out of my mind
Sex sleep eat drink dream
Cage
Walking down the street, you stare at your feet
And never do you let your eyes meet the freaks,
The deadbeat addicts, social fanatics,
They're a dime a dozen and they carry guns
Halloween, every other day of the week
Living in a cage in the USA
Living in a cage in the USA
Holy smoke! somebody blew up the pope
Living in a cage in the USA
All around us the rules are changing
Taller walls and stronger cages
Nothing is sacred or too outrageous
Taller walls and stronger cages
What in the world has happened to the world
What in the world
Driving your mercedes you think you're safe
But there's no escape in a world of hateful
Criminal minds with guns and knives
Who say 'give me your ride or give your life'
Halloween, every other day of the week
Living in a cage in the USA
Living in a cage in the USA
Holy smoke! somebody blew up the pope
Living in a cage in the USA
All around us the rules are changing
Taller walls and stronger cages
Nothing is sacred or too outrageous
Taller walls and stronger cages
What in the world has happened to the world
What in the world
One Time
One eye goes laughing,
One eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying of one life
One hand is tied,
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying
I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop
One time
And i've been standing in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand
One time
Long ago and far away in a different age
When I was a dumb young guy
Fossilized photos of my life then
Illustrate what an easy prey I must have been
Standing in the sun, idiot savant
Something like a monument
I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
Ignorance has always been something I excel in
Followed by naivete and pride
Doesn't take a scientist to see how
Any clever predator could have a piece of me
Standing in the sun, idiot savant
Something like a monument
I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
When I look back on the past
It's a wonder i'm not yet extinct
All the mistakes and bad judgements I made
Nearly pushed me to the brink
It doesn't pay to be too nice
It's the one thing I have learned
Still, I made my fossil bed
Now I toss and turn
I'm a dinosaur, somebody is digging my bones
Walking On Air
Close your eyes and look at me
I'll be standing by your side
In between the deep blue sea
And the sheltering sky
If we find no words to say
To the rhythm of the waves
Then we'll both surrender there
Walking on air
And the worries of the day lie down
Under cover of the fading clouds
The secrets of the night
Come alive in your eyes
You don't have to hurry
Uou don't have to try
Cause you don't have a care
You're walking on air
Inner Garden I
Autumn has come to rest
In her garden
Come to paint the trees with emptiness
And no pardon
So many things have come undone
Like the leaves on the ground
And suddenly she begins to cry
But she doesn't know why
Heavy are the words that fall through the air
To burden her shoulders
Caught up in the trees
Her soliloquy,
'Don't leave me alone'
People
People fly people flee
People clam and say 'it wasn't me'
People fish people beef
People arm to teeth
Yes, you've got people on the tube
Walking on the moon
People at the bottom of the sea
People in tombs
People in igloos
Even a tribe of pygmies
People are the main spring
Turning the world around
People, they're the main spring
Spinning this world upside down
People sun people toast
People tire while other people smoke
People bowl people rock
People pay to see two people box
Watch me face me
Dress me baby me
Phone me wire me
House me bug me fire me
People are the main spring
Spinning the world around
People, they're the main spring
Turning this world inside out
Inner Garden II
Rome now comes to sit
In her garden
Mingling the breeze with memories
Of a time when
There was a room in pale yellow hues
Her room with a view
Where love made a bed of happiness
In muslin and lace
Sweet is the voice from far away
That speaks sotto voce and
Is lingering there in the golden air
To quiet the day
