"Electricity"

"Electricity"

Singing through you to me
Thunderbolts caught easily
Shouts the truth peacefully
Electricity
High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow deed
Go into bright, find the light
And know that friends don't mind just how you grow
Midnight cowboy stained in black
Reads dark roads without a map
To free-seeking electricity, seeking electricity
Midnight cowboy stained in black
Reads dark roads without a map
To free-seeking electricity, seeking electricity
Lighthouse beacon straight ahead
Straight ahead across black seas to bring seeking electricity
High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow deed
Hide their shadow deed
High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow deed
Hide their shadow deed
Electricity
Electricity

"Ella Guru"

"Ella Guru"

And, it attracted a lotta rats and uh, they closed the doors, and uh
They all got shotguns and rushed out on the grass
Nothing happened, they couldn't get the rats to move, see
So, they got one fella down there, he said, ah, he stammered
When he got excited he couldn't talk at all
They got him down there and Walt said, "I'll get 'em outta there"
And he took a stick, beatin' them, started hitting them, tryin' to get them outta there
Then they were shootin' from all directions
And old Walt thought he was gonna get killed

Now here she comes walkin' lookin' like a zoo
(Hello moon, hello moon)
High Ella, high Ella Guru
She know all the colors that nature do
High Ella, high Ella Guru
High yella, high red
High blue she blew
High Ella, high Ella Guru

She do what she mean and she do what she do
Got something for me, got something for you
She sure something (she's young too)

Ella Guru, Ella Guru
Ella Guru, Ella Guru

Ha ha, right right, just dig it
That's right the Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous
Tight also

Ella Guru, Ella Guru
Ella Guru, Ella Guru

Ella Guru

"Fallin' Ditch"

"Fallin' Ditch"

Now we won't have to worry about Rockette Morton
What's the name of that girls?
(Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind)
What do you run on, Rockette Morton?
(Say, "Beans")
I run on beans
I run on laser beans

When I get lonesome, the wind begin to moan
When I trip fallin' ditch, somebody wanna throw the dirt right down
When I feel like dying, the sun come out, stole my fear and gone
Who's afraid of the spirit with the blues for bones?
Who's afraid of the fallin' ditch?
Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones

How's that for the spirit? How's that for the things?
Ain't my fault the thing's gone wrong
And when I'm smiling, my face wrinkles up real warm
And when I'm frowning, things just turn to stone

Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
And when I get lonesome the wind begin to moan
Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones

"Flash Gordon's Ape"

"Flash Gordon's Ape"

You jumped when the air hit your eyes
You wanted to go back but there wadn't none
Now you been going back for so long
That you think there is one
It makes me laugh to hear you say how far you've come
When you barely know how to use your thumb
So you know how to count to one
You messed in the sky picked a banana an' threw it
At the sun
You saw a flash in the water now there ain't one
You brought back somethin' that wasn't there
You brought back somethin' that wasn't fair
Pull back the adhesive tape
You're in ah scrape
Take to to your trees
There's no escape
The leaves are gettin' faker everyday
Flash Gordon's ape
Your too day

"Frownland"

"Frownland"

My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your Frownland
My spirit's made up of the ocean and the sky
And the sun and the moon
And all my eyes can see
I cannot go back to your land of gloom
Where black jagged shadows
Remind me of the coming of your doom
I want my own land
Take my hand and come with me
It's not too late for you, it is not too late for me
To find my homeland
Where a man can stand by another man
Without an ego flying with no man lying
And no one dying by an earthly hand
Let the devil burn and the beggar learn
And the little girls that live in those old worlds
Take my kind hand
My smile is stuck
I cannot go back to your Frownland
I cannot go back to your Frownland

"Frying Pan"

"Frying Pan"

Don't think big, man
I can't think little
Won't let that end catch me up in the middle
Now, my whole life has been the toss of a dice
Done another girl gone out of my life
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Anything you say, they're gonna call you a lair
Go downtown now
Walk around
The man comes up, says he's gonna put me down
You try to succeed to fulfill your need
Get hit by a car, the people watch you bleed
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Anything you say, they're gonna call you a liar
Watch what you do now
Think what you're saying
If you get crossed up you're gonna end up paying
Ain't no use, I'm gonna cut it all loose
I made a mistake, I can't get no break
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Anything you say, they're gonna call you a liar

"Further Than We've Gone"

"Further Than We've Gone"

Further than we've gone
The stars sing a song
Together that only lovers can hear
Come up close to me, lover
Under the heaven's beautiful cover
We're here at last
Open it up
And let our love appear
Further than we've gone
The stars sing a song
Together that only lovers can hear
Come up close to me, lover
Under the heaven's beautiful cover
Open it up
And let our love appear

"Gimme Dat Harp Boy"

"Gimme Dat Harp Boy"

Gimme that harp boy
Ain't no fat man's toy
You hear what he is saying
You hear he's saying today
Harp cry harp smiling
Shiny moon white note
Give me room, ain't no time
To rock no boat, gimme room
Harp sing time and playin' ohm...

Gimme harp, this harp, harp this, harp bite
Harp this, harp kiss, harp money

Gimme that harp boy, don't just stand around
Gon' blow pure joy, girl you wear this crown

Gimme that harp boy, gimme that harp girl
Gimme that harp girl, gimme that harp boy
Harp string, harp ring
Harp toke, harp smoke
Harp float, harp broke

"Glider"

"Glider"

Into the sun in my glider
There's a shadow beside her
Up 'n down through the blues
Clouds give me my silent cues
I'm up in my glider
With a shadow beside her
It begins to rain on her window pain
Up in my glider
There's no shadow beside her
Thundering 'n lightning
Gettin' pretty frightenin'
I feel like an outsider
Then the sun shows through 'n right on cue
There's a shadow beside her
Up 'n down through the blues
I'm up in my glider
'N I'm telling you boys there ain't no noise
'N me and my baby ain't never gonna bring my glider down
