I've been alone
I've been silent in my grave
I've been praying, Lord, been trying to get saved
I've been tellin' these lies, been writing my songs
But I've been doing more right than wrong
I can hear the roaring thunder
Rising up just through them hills
I've been hollering "hallelujah"
Trying to get my fill
I'll burn my gypsy skin
all night and all day
I'm preaching the word of God
Got nothing else to say
One day, baby, gonna tear you
Right limb from limb
If I can never gratify
Your master sin
Oh, I think somebody's gonna find you
Lock you up and throw away the key
I think somebody's gonna teach you
How to throw away all your goddam misery
I've been alone
I've been silent in my grave
I've been praying, Lord, been trying to get saved
I've been tellin' these lies, been writing my songs
But I've been doing more right than wrong
I can hear the roaring thunder
Rising up just through them trees
I've been hollering "hallelujah"
Right down here, upon my knees

Voodoo Sensei

(I) Met a Voodoo Sensei
born in Mississippi
He was riding on moonlight
dancing with the gypsies
It was hard to tell
if she could realize what i was saying
i was speaking through a singing-bowl
and chanting what i shoulda been
but i shoulda been miles away
up high on the tightrope
chanting the name of God
although it could have been God you saw
speaking through the hourglass
looking at the time that pasted
although we should have been gone
And everything was miles apart
Leaving me in the middle
of the desert of your crimson dawn
just before the sun lifts it's head
back out of the blackness
where all things are dead
I met a blue-eyed beauty queen
walking cross the silver screen
I tried to realize my dreams
but all I got were broken things
although we coulda been a thing
you and me
yeah, we could have been a thing
And the devil's throwing curve-balls
trying to get you to fall
many should be made to crawl
but all you got to do is
call upon your brother
when you need some help or comfort
there are many here among us
who would lend their hands in struggle
if it gets too hard to handle
all you have to do is
ask and you shall receive
I'm gonna thank the sun
whether it's risin'
whether it's sinkin'
could you dispel my disbelief
in all the beautiful things I'm seeing
and all of god's creation
will rise up to the occasion
Indigo Children
I know you know when
we gonna begin
re-birthing the nations

Fade Out

Pull yourself together man
I can play the weather man
We can throw our-
selves against the wall
and we can build it all
up again
I could be your lover
you could be my savior
we can fade out 3x
Questioning your statues
stronger than your virtue
morning looking like a picture frame
Hungry for your blood lust
Thirsty for your head rush
how love rolls on
Looking through my rear view
now my heart is brand new
Beating for the first time 3x
Now you can please me like I paid you
and I'll be glad to show you
how to pull your-
self up against the pressure
Find out how to measure
all that you've become
Found the love of my life
and I made her my wife
Now we can fade out 3x

Untitled #9

In the same way that you did
you do it all again
and you're running like fire
on the wings of a western wind
and nobody knows
all the pain that you carry around
it's all your own
it's all yours
You're running through the frightened trees
in the land of the fallen sun
and you're wrapped up in materials
but the howling winds
ain't never done
and nobody knows
all the pain that you hold within
in the kindness of the bitter cold
you're paralyzed
I watch you do
what you do
what you did
3x
All over again
And the silence is unnerving
won't you say something
move your tongue
Love is all above you
and light is all around
But love is all there is

Love and All Her Crowns
02:48

In the desert we've been dreaming
for so long I stopped believing
in the promise of relations
between man and all creation
But with this pen I'm writing
I am starting to enlighten
and awaken my desires
that have been choked out
by these crafty liars
Hidden deep inside
under the lies that be abide
Should we climb or should we hide
Are we living or are we dyin'
Mastering mystic memories
Moving the movement to infinity
A testament to my destiny
Compassion will empower me
I said, Compassion will empower me
Release us from the anguish
and all of painful history
Resentment is a killing thing
May we learn to be forgiving beings
And self expression
is such a blessing
All creation was
created for creating
Like water is tranquility
so to we shall also be
when information is given free
and we live out what it means
to treat each other equally
despite our fears
and our conditioning
embrace the ones
we have named “Enemy”
Compassion will empower me
All creation was created for creating
When we embrace the ones we have named, “ENEMY”
