Mountain

Mountain


Run, he said
The shore will take them
But offerings won't alter this
Do you understand
Sure it matters if you are really
Superfly's secret wife

She'll be down
She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way (away?)
She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way
So the city spits you, spit you out, rejected
Kiss the brave men that you thought had you protected

She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way
She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way
So the city spits you, spit you out, rejected
Kiss the brave men that you thought had you protected

She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way
She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way
So the city spit you, spit you out, rejected
Kiss the brave men that you thought had you protected

See the city, city, city, now
See the city, see the city now, rejected
Kiss the pavement that you thought had you protected
She'll be down when the mountain lets her go her way
She'll be down when the mountain lets her go

Here to return
To return
To return
To return
To you
To you
To you
You

Mr. Bad Man

Mr. Bad Man


He's a bad man, Mr. Bad Man
And she had enough of him
So the wolves try to dry her eyes
'Cause the bad man made her cry

But everyday I know that
I may just be closer to the sea of frozen words
Words that even soldiers would lay down their swords for
And they come in every color
And flavor too and flavor too

There's a gold star on a Gendarme
So she asked him "Hey can you hold my song?
It's the one piece that I got left
So hide it well she said

He's a bad man, Mr. Bad Man
And she had enough of him
So the wolves try to dry her eyes
'Cause the bad man made her cry

But everyday I know that
I may just be closer to the sea of frozen words
Words that even soldiers would lay down their swords for
And they come in every color
And flavor too and flavor too

Mr. Zebra

Mr. Zebra


Hello Mr. Zebra
Can I have your sweater
Cause it's cold cold cold
In my hole hole hole
Ratatouille strychnine
Sometimes she's a friend of mine
With a gigantic whirlpool
That will blow your mind

Hello Mr. Zebra
Ran into some confusion
With a Mrs. Crocodile
Furry mussels marching on
She thinks she's Kaiser Wilhelm
Or a civilized syllabub
To blow your mind

Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
She's got a little fund to fight
For Moneypenny's rights
Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
Too bad the burial was premature
She said and smiled

Mrs. Jesus

Mrs. Jesus


Life lines and suicide crimes --
He found me in a state
Grabbed my purse and hitched a ride
With a Mrs. Jesus "how you been"
I've been cruisin' a good invention
But in some ways
I don't think it gets any easier
Your walking on the water
Bit by far my favorite one,
But now it seems we're drowning
In a drop of water love
And even as I'm climbing up the stairs
I know there's heaven there
And then empty arms that comes
With the morning star
Well, made my bed of
Cut roses by understanding
That the cause
It just comes first
With my Mrs. Jesus
The gospel changes meaning
If you follow John or Paul
And could you ever let it be
The Mary of it all
And even as I'm climbing up the stairs
Well, life lines and suicide crimes
There's the something every day
And there's someone always paging
My Mrs. Jesus
Your walking on the water
So if you get the Jones at the crossroad
The personals are great
If you're my way
Let me love you Mrs. Jesus

Muhammad My Friend

Muhammad My Friend


Muhammad my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl
Back in Bethlehem
And on that fateful day
When she was crucified
She wore Shiseido Red
And we drank tea by her side

Sweet sweet
Used to be so sweet to me

Muhammad my friend
I'm getting very scared
Teach me how to love
My brothers who don't know the law
And what about the deal
On the flying trapeze
Got a peanut butter hand
But honey do drop in
At the Dew Drop Inn

Sweet sweet
Between the boys and the bees

Moses I know
I know you've seen the fire
But you've never seen fire
Until you've seen Pele blow
And I've never seen light
But I sure have seen gold
And Gladys save a place for me on your grapevine
Till I get my own TV show
Ashre ashre ashre ashre
And if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the tidal wave
I got a place in the Pope's rubber robe

Muhammad my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl
Back in Bethlehem

Murder He Says

Murder He Says


Finally found a fella
Almost completely divine
But his vocabulary
Is killing this romance of mine
We get into an intimate situation
And then begins this character's conversation
He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
At a time like this
He says, murder, he says
Is that the language of love?
He says, solid, he says
Takes me in his arms
And says, solid, he says
Meaning all my charms
He says, solid, he says
Is that the language of love?
He says, chick chick
You torture me
Zoom, are we livin?
I'm thinkin' of leaving him flat
He says, dig dig the jumps
The old ticker is giving
He can talk plainer than that
He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
He says, murder, he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder
But his own
He says, Jackson, he says
And my name's Marie
He says, Jackson, he says
Shoot the snoot for me
He says, Jackson, he says
Is that the language of love?
He says, mmmhmm
When he likes my hat
He says, tsk tsk tsk
What the heck is that?
He says, woo hoo! he says
Is that the language of love?
He says hep hep with helium
Now babe, we're cookin'
And other expression's too ill
He says, we're in the groove
And the groove is good lookin'
Sounds like his uppers don't fit!
He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
In that, murder, he says
In that impossible tone
Will bring on nobody's murder
But his own

Nautical Twilight

Nautical Twilight


As the day gave way
To Nautical Twilight
I turned my back on
The force of which I am made
I am bound and gagged
Rupturing a delicate balance
When I left my world for his

Day after day, as my city fades
And is swallowed by his sea
She is boundless
Even breaking on the beach

Every alchemist
Knows fusion and fission
Can unify or drive a force to split
He has been possessed to drink of the spices
From the east by his liquid mistress
Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium
She divides time between greed and his twin, tyranny

Day after day cities are betrayed
As the earthy sons lay their blades

And she is boundless
But by then she has been frayed
As the night gives way
To Nautical dawn I can see I must activate
The force of which I am made

Never Seen Blue

Never Seen Blue


Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Gotta a little red light
That tells you, boy
Where the razor's been

You said, girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman, yes
Finally be that woman
That's been frozen in the pretty silver girl
Yes

And I've never seen blue
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And through me again
I said I've never seen eyes
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Some boy you are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
And wear it like a lady
Knows how to cross her legs
Where the birdy's been

I've never seen blue
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And though me again
Said I've never seen eyes
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Said now that I am
Say goodbye to those left
Say...

New Age

New Age


Waiting for the phone to ring, diamond necklace on my shoulder.
Waiting for the phone to ring, lipstick on my neck and shoulder.
It seems to be my fancy, to make it with Frank and Nancy when,

Over the bridge we go, looking for love...
Over the bridge we go, looking for love...

I'll come running to you, oh, baby if you want me,
I'll...I...ll, I'll come running to you now, baby, if you want me,
I'll...I...I; Looking at my hands today,
Look to me that they're made of ivory.
Had a funny call today, someone died and someone's married.
You know that it's my fancy, to make it with Frank and Nancy when,

Over the bridge they go, looking for love...
Over the bridge we...go, looking for love...
I'll come running to you, now, baby, if you want me,
I'll...I...ll, I'll come running to you, baby, if you want me,
Now-that-I'm-ready...I'll come running to you now, baby, if you want me,
Now-that-I...I'll come running to you, baby, if you want me,
And something's got a hold on me.

It's the beginning of the new age...Oh, I don't know what it was.
It's the beginning of the new age...Can you see and tell for yourself?
Yes, it's the beginning of the new age...
Oh, you little, sick little fox, yes,
It's the beginning of the new age...

Night Of Hunters

Night Of Hunters


Rose so red
This Night of Hunters
Find love instead of their
Blood by your thorn

Rose so red
This Night of Hunters
Find love instead of their
Blood by my thorn

Dark forces are out there gathering
Dark forces are out there gathering
Some hunt for power
Others to invade children's dreams
Some hunt for power
Others to invade children's dreams

They must pay this Night of Hunter
Find love instead of their
Blood by your thorn
Find love instead of their
Blood by my thorn

Holy Father, why not ask forgiveness
From the land
Spirit to spirit
End this suffering
Spirit to spirit
Soul to soul
They stole the dreams
Of the children
By distorting what love means

Watching over
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch over children's dreams
The ancient Seven Sisters above

Tuning the frequency
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch over children's dreams
The ancient Seven Sisters above

Changing the frequency
Watching over
Keeping watch
Watching over
Watching over
Keeping watch over children's dreams
The ancient Seven Sisters above

Tuning the frequency
Keeping watch
Watching over
Keeping watch
Holy Father, you ask forgiveness
From the land
Sacred Mother, you are released
From your chains

Spirit to Spirit
The children's dreams
Must now be reclaimed

Spirit to Spirit
Changing the frequency
Spirit to Spirit
Soul to Soul
