Please stop mumbling and please speak up
before we all die of death
and if you wanna be polite
than I will be the villain
and we will sink on the subtle shores of Paradise
and contentment will be the only one
doing any killing
And I will be there for you
The Jester and the Queen they fell in love
and they closed all the doors behind them
she had only to bat her eyes
and he waved his white flag
and only on the subtle shores of Paradise
would a jester get mixed up in such a useless drag
And I will be there for you
Madame Mirabeau knew all the tricks
that make up this thing we call Life
it's hard enough just to get by
on only a dollar and a dime
here on the subtle shores of Paradise
she offered to teach me
but I said I ain't got time
But I will be there for you
Like my one true love
one day said to me
be free
from all enchantments and all spells
and the personalized hell you're in
Go wade out in the tall grass
where the young died and time passed
too fast
but hold onto me!

Babel
03:18
|
|||
|
I don't mind walking through the puddle
or getting my feet wet
I don't mind waltzing through the water
it shows my path is set
and I will move for no man
I live on the road
pass me the bottle and a little bit of soul
tell me when we get Babel
I've realized no one knows themselves
they're all acting like the next person
who's acting like the next person
who's acting like the next person too
I've realized we're speaking different languages
gibberish and babbling on
but the cause remains taboo
I live on the road
pass me the bottle and a little bit of soul
tell me when we get to Babel
I've come to learn we say more through silence
than words spoken loud or soft
I've come to learn you're a damp cloth on my sweaty head
sure, you cool me down but you don't dry me off
I live on the road
pass me the bottle and a little bit of soul
tell me when we get to Babel's front gates
I swear to the Lord I'll never make the same mistakes again
Heaven belongs to Him

The Seer
03:40
|

|
Mother said don't cry
just because
I'll tie my own tie
no more fuss
we'll sigh no more
Mother dear
I'll dine by the sea shore
with the Seer
And I'll give no pearls
to the girls
they simply refuse to be bought
These hearts of mine
are taken one at a time
so I don't get caught
The shoes I made
are filled with sand
Don't leave with the bedmaid
folks won't understand
no not round here
Sweet lady
I met the Seer
and he was lazy
And he was white
and polite
he said thankyou and please
And these sand grains
have created stains
on my knees

Fell out of a tree
going Lord help me
All that you see
is not reality
I'm not reality
Dying to be
going Lord help me
All that you see
is not reality
I'm not reality
Going:
My, my, my, my
Not where I wanna be
going Lord help me
I fell in love last week
ain't that something?
ain't that something?
At the bottom of a tree
going Lord help me
I fell in love last week
ain't that something?
ain't that something?
Going:
My, my, my, my

Hollow Mouth

I was born with a hollow mouth
buried in the deep south
where I grew like a bean sprout
with the deer and the spouted trout

White Winter Walls
04:42
|

|
When darkness falls
on my white winter walls
the sun don't shine
no the sun don't shine no more
And the river froze
and the plants don't grow
on it's banks no more
they're all silver shores now
So I'll go outside
to the wilderness
let that snow fall down
and around
And I'm in my house
and I can't get out
cause the snow buries all
ya the snow buries all below
And in that dark
the source emits a spark
and I see your face
and I get a taste
of light
So I'll go outside
to the wilderness
let that snow fall down
And we will survive
with bells on our heels
let that snow fall down
cause it's not dark yet
I will go outside
to the wilderness
let that snow fall down
And we will survive
with bells on our heels
let that snow fall down

Wild Winds
03:24
|

|
The wild winds
have the strength
of ten men
and wild stallions
The wild winds
chill to the bone
they blow right in
and come again, again, again
The wild winds
strike the North
right on the chin
their punishment
The wild winds
swept my love away
I sit on my shins
praying position
The wild winds
give way to snow
it's next of kin
it's bretheren

Josephine, Josephine
I fell in love with a north country queen
Josephine, Josephine
I fell in love with the prettiest girl I've ever seen
and she's got me where she wants me
and she's got me where she wants me
Josephine
Josephine, Josephine
I fell in love with a walking dream
Josephine, Josephine
we all live for something
and you call me oh so softly
and you call me oh so softly
Josephine
Don't you need that soft mountain air?
don't elaborate and don't despair
Cause I'm a man in dire need
Josephine
Josephine, Josephine
I fell in love or so it seems
Josephine, Josephine
only say what you mean
cause she's got nothing for me
and stop she implores me
Josephine
Don't you need that soft mountain air?
don't elaborate on your despair
I'm a man in dire need
Josephine
