brain of j

who's got the brain of jfk?
what's it mean to us now?
pause, it sounds distrust
but i can tell you this is no lie
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
yeah, trust
you? you've been taught
whipped into shape
now they got you in line
stand behind the stripes
there will be order
so give it a good mind there
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
and by name
the name they gave me
the name i'm letting go
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
the whole world will be different soon
the whole world will be relieved
the whole world will be different soon



faithfull

plaque on the wall says that
no one's slept here
it's rare to come upon
a bridge that has not been around
or been stepped on
whatever the notion we
lace in our prayers
the man upstairs is used
to all of this noise
i'm through with screaming
it echoes
nobody hears
it goes, it goes, it goes
like echoes
nobody hears
it goes, it goes, it goes, like this
we're faithfull
we all believe, we all believe it
we're faithfull
we all believe, we all believe it
echoes
nobody hears
it goes, it goes, it goes
we're faithfull
we all believe, we all believe it
so faithfull
we all believe, we all believe it
m-y-t-h is belief in the game
controls that keeps us in a box of fear
we never listen
voice inside so drowned out
drowned...
you are, you are
you are a furry thing
and everything is you
me you, you me, it's all related
what's a boy to do?
just be a darling and i will be too
faithfull to you



no way

there's a token of my openness
of my need to not disappear
how i'm feeling, so revealing to me
i found my mind too clear
i just need someone to be there for me
i just want someone to be there for me
all the static in my attic-a
shoots down my side nerve
to the ocean of my platitudes
longitudes, latitudes
it's so absurd
i just need someone to be there for...
i just want someone to be there for...
someone to be there for...
cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way.
ooh, let's call it an angel...
cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
no way
no way
no way
let's call in an angel
who's calling an angel?



given to fly

he could have tuned in
tuned in, but he tuned out
a bad time nothing could save him
alone in a corridor
waiting, locked out
he got up outta there
ran for hundreds of miles
he made it to the ocean
had a smoke in a tree
the wind rose up
set him down on his knee
a wave came crashing
like a fist to the jaw
deliver him wings
hey look at me now!
arms wide open
with the sea as his floor
oh, the power, oh...
he's flying whole
high, wide, oh...
he floated back down
cause he wanted to share
this key to the locks
on the chains he saw everywhere
but first he was stripped
and then he was stabbed
by faceless men
well fuckers, he still stands
and he still gets his love
he just gives it away
the love he receives
is the love that is saved
and sometimes is seen
a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly
i'm flying, oh...
high flying, oh...
he's flying, oh...
high, oh...



wishlist

i wish i was a neutron bomb, for once i could go off
i wish i was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on
i wish i was a sentimental ornament you hung on
the christmas tree i wish i was the star that went on top
i wish i was the evidence, i wish i was the clouds
or 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
i wish i was a sailor with someone who waited for me
i wish i was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
i wish i was a messenger, and all the news was good
i wish i was the full moon shining off your camaro's hood
i wish i was an alien at home behind the sun
i wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on
i wish i was the pedal brake that you depended on
i wish i was the verb "to trust" and never let you down
i wish i was a radio song the one that you turned up
i wish...



pilate

talk of circles, and punching out
looking in, drawing circles down
falling up, then south, marking ground
talking out of turn, drawing circles down
like pilate i have a dog
walks me out of town
still one's a crowd
making angels in the dirt
looking up, looking all around
like pilate i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
stunned by my own reflection
like pilate i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
it's looking back, sees me too clearly
and i swore i'd never go there again
not unlike a friend
that politely drags you down
you down...
like pilate i have a dog
(obeys, listens, kisses, loves)
like pilate i have a dog



do the evolution

wooh, wooh
i'm ahead
i'm a man
i'm the first mammal to wear pants
i am at peace with my lust
i can kill cause in god i trust
it's evolution baby
i'm a piece of the man
i buy stocks on the day of the crash
on the loose
i'm a truck
all the rolling hills i'll flatten 'em out
it's herd behavior
it's evolution baby
admire me, admire my home
admire my son, he's my clone
this land is mine, this land is free
i'll do what i want, yet irresponsibly
it's evolution baby
i'm a thief, i'm a liar
there's my church i sing in the choir
hall-le-lu-jah
hall-le-lu-jah
admire me, admire my home
admire my song, admire my clothes
cause we know, appetite for nightly feasts
those ignorant indians got nothing on me
nothing
why?
because, it's evolution baby
i am ahead
i am advanced
i am the first mammal to make plans
i crawled the earth, but now i'm higher
2010 watch it go to fire
it's evolution baby
do the evolution
come on
it's evolution baby.



the color red

we're all crazy. we're all crazy at war



mfc

sliding out of reverse into drive
this wheel will be turning right
then straight
off in the sunset she'll ride
she can remember a time, denied
stood by the side of the road
spilled like wine now
she's out on her own and line high
there's no leaving here
ask i'm an ear
she's disappeared, now
they said that timing was everything
made him want to be everywhere
there's a lot to be said for nowhere.
there's no leaving here
ask i'm an ear
he's disappeared now
there's no leaving here
ask i'm an ear
fuck it
we'll disappear, now



low light

clouds roll by
reeling is what they say
or is it just my way?
wind blows by
low light
sidetracked
low light
can't see my tracks your scent way back
can i be here all alone?
clear a path to my home
blood runs dry
books and jealousy tell me wrong
i will feel calm
poise blows by
low light
car crash
low light
can wear my mask
your first my last
voice goes by
two birds is what they'll see
getting lost upon their way
wind rolls by
low light
eye sight
low light
i need the light
i'll find my way from wrong
what's real?
the dream i see



in hiding

i shut and lock the front door
no way in or out
i turned and walked the hallway
and pulled the curtains down
i knelt and emptied the mouth
of every plug around
but nothing's sound
nothing's sound
i stayed where my last step left me
ignored all my rounds
soon i was seeing visions
and cracks along the walls.
they were upside down
i swallow my words to keep from lying
i swallow my face just to keep from biting
i, i...
i swallowed my breath and went deep
i was diving
diving
i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
now i'm...
i'm in hiding
it's been about three days now
since i've been aground
no longer overwhelmed
and it seems so simple now
it's funny when things change so much
it's all state of mind
i swallowed my words to keep from lying.
i swallowed my face just to keep from biting
i, i...
i swallowed my breath and went deep
i was diving
i was diving
i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
now i'm...
i'm in hiding
i'm in hiding, i'm...
i'm in hiding, i am...
i'm in hiding
i'm in hiding yeah
i'm in hiding, i am...
i'm in hiding



push me pull me

(get me outta here... it's what i see...)
i had a false belief
i thought i came here to stay
we're all just visiting
all just breaking like waves
the oceans made me
but who came up with love?
push me pull me, push me
or pull me out
push me pull me
or pull me out
so if there were no angels would there be no sin?
huh, you better stop me before i begin
but let me say
if i behave can you arrange
a spacious hole in the ground?
somewhere nice
make it nice
where the land meets high tide
push me pull me
or just pull me out
push me pull me
push me or pull me
or pull me out
push me pull me, out
like a cloud dropping rain
i'm discarding all thought
i'll dry up leaving puddles on the ground
i'm like an opening band for the sun
push me pull me
or just pull me out
push me pull me
push or pull me out
push me pull me
just pull me out, out, out
push me pull me, out
i've had enough, said enough
felt enough, i'm fine now
push me pull me
see ya later...



all those yesterdays

don't you think you oughtta rest?
don't you think you oughtta lay you head down?
don't you think you want to sleep?
don't you think you oughtta lay your head down
tonight
don't you think you've done enough?
oh, don't you think you've got enough?
well, maybe, yeah
you don't think there's time to stop
there's time enough for you to lay your head down
tonight
tonight
maybe it'll wash away all those yesterdays
what are you running from?
taking pills to get along
creating walls to call your own
so no one catches you drifting off
and doing all the things that we all do
oh, let it wash away all those yesterdays
all those yesterdays
(all those yesterdays... all those yesterdays...)
all those paper plates
(all those yesterdays... all those yesterdays...)
you've got time
you've got time to escape
there's still time
it's no crime to escape
it's no crime to escape
there's still time so escape
it's no crime, crime...
all those yesterdays
