"Meet Me At Lookout Point"

"Meet Me At Lookout Point"


Before the song
Made the world we know
Before kingdom come
A story was told
To not forget
Or get caught in the wind
A candle was lit
That your father is in

From lookout point
Valley below
The sun up on high
The moon down on low

I know
My heart will find
I know
My heart will find you

I know
My heart will find
I know
My heart will find you

We're drawn into
The headless who knows
A new name for you
That nobody knows

I know
Your heart is here
I know
Your heart is hearing

I know
Your heart is here
I know
Your heart is hearing

"Mi Negrita"

"Mi Negrita"


Mi amor no tiene esperanza
Aunque te esperará
Mi corazón se alanza
Un fantasma corpo real
Mi amor no tiene venganza
Aunque te matara
Este viejo no se cansa
Siempre te perseguirá
Así que
Fe y amor, no necesita esperanza
Ven amor aquí
Feo amor no grita en mi lancha
Alrededor de ti
Despide mi dolor
Negrita de mi amor
Feo amor, mosquito tan dandi
Veo un amor así
Feo amor, no quita esperanza
Ven amor aquí
Ven amor
Mi amor no te hablo paja
Aunque no es la verdad
Mi abogado trabaja
Para que tu puedas descansar
Así que
Fe y amor, no necesita esperanza
Ven amor aquí
Ven amor, disfruta mi grasa
Alrededor de ti
Fe y amor
Feo amor
Fe y amor
Feo amor
Fe y amor
Feo amor
Fe y amor

"Michigan State"

"Michigan State"


My friend has my favorite teeth
They bend backwards when she breathes
And it whistles
And sweetness is all sweetness was
Bees are blackeyed birds that buzz
And my love has my favorite ears
They lean forwards when she hears
Well evil is all evil was
Birds are blue-eyed knees that buzz

And I said oh michigan, michigan state
How I'd love to live in you
Oh I've never been to michigan state
Still I'd wanna live in you

And you can't talk without your tongue
Don't try and drown without your lungs son
Well my snail has my favorite slow
The shell helps the snail still the skin lays low
And if my snail has my favorite slow
Then my cold has my favorite snow
But if my snail's cold and comes to a halt
Then my sea has my favorite salt
The salt keeps the sea from feeling sweet
And my toes have my favorite feet
And if I sweat salt
And the earth sweats heat

Oh michigan, michigan state
How I'd love to live in you
I've never been to michigan state
Still I'd want to live in you
Michigan state state state state

"Middle Names"

"Middle Names"


I pretend when I look in your eyes
Don't know where you're going
Don't come back, please come back tonight
Just about the only thing left is a lie
I wonder where you are
Then I wonder
But I won't wonder anymore

And I can see you now
Sitting there in front of the station
Feel the rain fall down again
I'd love to be there now but I'm heading in the other direction
Feel the rain fall
Feel the rain fall

Why is the moon so bright?
Why are you so nice?
See you alone at the Walgreens at night
I used to think that you'd always return to your woman-in-waiting
My love belongs to no one
And just about the only thing left is a lie
I wonder where you are
Then I wonder again

And I can see you now
Sitting there in front of the station
Feel the rain fall down again

"Mourner's Dance"

"Mourner's Dance"


The early writings show the sequence of the dance
The individual awakens and expands
I looked into the room
And saw the dance resume
Between the origins
Between the dawn

Learn to identify the blossom in plain view
It will consume your body when the dance is through
There is no real you, there is only ever you
There is no real you, there is only ever you

I looked into the verse
And saw the dance disperse
Between the images
Between the lines

Only the true disciple activates the word
It must be understood before it can be heard
The parting song, ever in our hearts
The parting song, ever in our hearts

The mourners' dance begins
When we remember them
The mourners' dance is through
When we remember you

We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you
We remember you

"My Dearest Friend"

"My Dearest Friend"


I'm gonna die of loneliness, I know
I'm gonna die of loneliness, for sure

I'm gonna die of loneliness, I know
I'm gonna die of loneliness, for sure

My dearest friend
You'll soon begin to love again
To love again

"My Ships"

"My Ships"


My ships are frozen sticks
They lay stuck to the floor
My wrists and my breasts are bleeding bricks
They don't float anymore

And my tongure, it's a carbine scrolled
Doesn't run anymore

And my friends are all useless lense
They don't see anymore
And all my chicks are all useless hens
They don't lay anymore

And my fists are plastic dice
They're the shape of the sun
Yeah

And my love is a so long song
Gone forever more
And I like where I
Yeah, I love where I
And I like where I live

"Never Seen Such Good Things"

"Never Seen Such Good Things"


Never seen such good things go so wrong
And everywhere we turn they're playing our song

Should have known someone so much like me
Would give me hell and send me to my knees

Love you're a strange fella
Sure leave your mark indelibly
Love you're a strange fella
Won't you leave your mark on me

If we ever make sweet love again
I'm sure that it will be quite disgusting
Race to the end, race to the end

The memory of a ceremony so
Empty, bitter, boring and hollow
Hollow

Love you're a strange fella
Sure leave your mark indelibly
May as well be forever
Love won't you come and punish me

Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
