Dystopian Fantasies
04:26
|
|||
|
oh what they can perceive they will thieve it
and now it seems that thieving is believing
they'll lead you down a dead end road
they don't want you licking your toad, your toad
dystopian fantasies
can I confide in you
they're just about to be
off the road and off of their tracks
and now it seems they're never coming back
they poison, pollute and deny
they’re eating their fill of our lives, our lives
and what it means to me
I think we're coming around
dystopian fantasies
they don't make a sound (x2)
they never make a sound- they don't
It's in the water, in the water,
in the water we need…..x4
They're opening up a can of worms
a can of worms knocking at the door
now and then they’ll throw you on a landmine
but mostly we’re canaries in their gold mine,
their gold mine
and what that means to me
I think we're coming around
dystopian fantasies
they don't make a sound (x2)
they never make a sound- they don't

these two they are a pair beyond the arc and
well we don’t really know
they’re far afield and with a zeal to feel and
to get beyond the known
they search the charts and look for hidden stars well
they seem to know them all
they find a way to catch a spark adrift and
to follow through long centuries of hope
dingo and badu keep your heads up
dingo and badu make it all up
wait till you see the things yet to come
now dingo and badu do what you want
now dingo and badu keep your heads up
dingo and badu make it all up
wait till you see the things yet to come
dingo and badu keep your heads up
and now they’re back and with a brand new plan to
escape gravity’s hold
with time they stretch illusions lead to quests and
they will not be ignored
they make a pact to serve the cause of passion and
ruminate on love
with magic charms they conjure winding stairways
complete with rails of all you know is true
dingo and badu keep your heads up
dingo and badu make it all up
wait till you see the things yet to come
now dingo and badu do what you want
now dingo and badu keep your heads up
dingo and badu make it all up
wait till you see the things yet to come
dingo and badu keep your heads up
from where they come the moon serves as a sun
and the sun became a moon…………………la luna

Call the Riddle
02:50
|
|||
|
perceived signs all around us
we’re mixing up the abandoned
and when we relish the moment
we pay a tribute to what forms it
and a long dormant form awake- and cut to the dream, in the between
and a once hidden path appears- cut to the scene
a feline in a canyon
and on the peak of a mountain
its location uncertain
it seems it’s everywhere at once and…
a long hidden sight revealed and cut to the dream, in the between
when a once silenced sound resounds– well it’s coming
when you call the Riddle- well it carries so well
and you call the Riddle – your voice carries so well, and it carries so well
and a long dormant form awake-and cut to the dream, in the between
and a once hidden path appears – as you’re walking
when you call the Riddle- well it carries so well
and you call the Riddle – your voice carries so well, and it carries so well

Pillowman
03:22
|
|||
|
Refine your insight and grow
Be right with all that you hold
Inside the me vine I find I belong
See signs and make like a volt
You’ve got to realize your own sprawling Zen
Long light in short pulses sensed
Between the pole shifts and the snow drifts we blend
Fall fourth and spring pillow man

Action / Style
03:32
|
|||
|
once upon a moon we get into tune
then we make some waves that come back through you
well in the know you can pogo and thrash with your friends
oh and that’s the same thing you did, igniting a flare
space-time’s alive, we’re on a future world
this is a path to another way, and this is a prayer for your mother
this is a call to a code of arms, and this is a
view into the other
we've got the action – you’ve got the style
you got the action, action – once in a while
to play and relay in the here and now
make a wav that will float around until it is found
and in the door at the fir show with your friends
oh you made it right through the maze, and into the lair
space-time’s alive, we’re on a future world
this is a path to another way, and this is a prayer for your brother
this is a call to a code of arms, and this is a
view into the other
we've got the action – you’ve got the style
you got the action, action – once in a while

First to Flow
06:17
|
|||
|
you're spacious and crazed like the night
riding a thought like a flight
you take in the scenery seeking, believing the lore of life
impassioned and brash like a boar
you change up your pitches for sure
but now when you talk to the people
you talk to the people for real
now we say:
Find your right to free - the everything
Find your right to be - the everything
So far the sharks haven't come
they don't have the guts to succumb
they fear all the nautical cursing
the bursts of inertias unknown
lacing the sky with who knows
can only conclude I suppose
the vision is so out of touch
its crutches are stuck in the ruts
now we say:
Find your right to free - the everything
Find your right to be - the everything
mysteries abound, lost is often found
lurking under streetlights with broken lamps
moving through the walls talking to the fog
we can walk into halls where the first is the last and the last is the first to flow..
first to flow...
you’re spacious and crazed like (x3) you’re spacious and now we say

the retinas register a time
to gaze out through the opened blinds and they see just fine
and isn't it all there and isn't it strange
like turning a page on a page on a page...
we really don't know what we're doing
but dive into the deep unknowing
this is a love song for the loveless
don't take it too hard but you're clueless
the epic projections eliptical mines
an internal pulse wherever one finds oneself
align with the climate and feel at its shrines
the elements and mind are combined in unexpected ways
we really don't know where we're going
but dive into the deep unknowing
this is a love song for the loveless
just feel it for real and be fearless
we really don't know what we're doing
we really don't know where we're going
but dive into the deep unknowing
this is a love song for the loveless
just feel it for real and be fearless
we really don't know where we're going
We thrive in the deep unknowing
this is a love song for the loveless

Grenadine Mud
03:17
|
|||
|
in a theater of tours, cascading rounds of them
there's new ground to be found, in ye olde caves again
in the rain with no boots, right where the graves begin
grenadine and unseen, this mud we're sinking in
an instant oh so long, stretched till it almost stops
time in an paper cup, spills out while you walk
lost in the bed of night, type with the flow of blood
seek and you will find, grenadine, the mud
it's intent to get out, and not go in again
with a curse and a shout, it ran right through the den
we made a boom with a broom, and the thing turned around and said
I'm the bones on the stones, picked clean and growing thin
an instant oh so long, stretched till it almost stops
time in an paper cup, spills out while you walk
lost in the bed of night, type with the flow of blood
seek and you will find, grenadine, the mud
this is a song that just might save me
this is a song about where we're from
and we're going straight through the common
and we're going through opening doors
and that's what they're for
#9 and you see the clouds, at the water's edge, you heard what they said
old horizon signs, pointed, cover up the bridge, that's just what they did
falling as they rise, meow commands the cat, how can this be that
save the best for last when you shed the weight of time, open up the blinds
see the sun and sky, grenadine goodbye

See the Crown
03:46
|
|||
|
about, face, high on the seas of change
contact, lost in the coming back
new, days, upon a former stage
and now, a path, waiting to see the crown
want to see the crown x4
…and it seems that…
some, times, wrong makes its way to right
deep, in, mix up the things we did
old, times, meld with a common mind
the crown, the cap, breathe and prepare to act
want to see the crown x8 (end on “to see the crown you go…”)
chorus: (sing it nicely)
was it silence you asked for
was it peace that you died for
come back in the morning
and i’ll see you again
in the void where a light forms
familiar faces we pine for
come back in the morning
and i’ll see you again
was it silence you asked for
was it peace that you died for
please come back in the evening
well i’ll see you again, and I’ll see you again……………
