Silver mirages smoking Fountains from the center bubbling Trumpets made of metal calling Granite in the daylight sparkling Clear fish in the shallows searching Inner vision growing

Everything Becomes Something Else 03:18
lyrics

Bubbles from scuba tanks And masks full of eyes The water points us down And lets us know Everything becomes something else Into the open mouth To pyramids Mayan Past the bearded stones I think you know Everything becomes something else Enter the serene mind Travel meridians I watch the pushing flow Until I'm sure Everything becomes something else Everything becomes something else Everything becomes something else And I know its not the last time Everything becomes something else And I know its not the first time

He’s got his Tuesday freak with her midnight shriek down the hallway She’s getting funkified and crispy fried in the deep end Its never lasted this long and she don’t know if she can hide it Yeah, when pleasure’s your pain there’s nothing quite like a cold whip Put the gag ball on You don't know what you found You could be right but you're pushing your feelings down You don't know why they're bubbling up from underground You could burn bright You should burn bright She’s got her 9 to 5, its a prison stripe and she knows it But she likes to be cuffed and even roughed up in the basement She used to resist, was not a slave in their grip but she gave out And now she’s cruising along with wax burns all over her bruises Can’t turn the gas back on You don't know what you found You could be right but you're pushing your feelings down You don't know why they're bubbling up from underground You could burn bright You should burn bright

Pull back your eyelids and let me on in Your sleepy season has come to an end And don't you see now This is all a game Down by the water the scene is alive I know why you're tired You feel separate from life Now come here This is all a game A force so strong can take you away From your self to the life they've made To some big noise with a perfect face To a brand new god but its always the same And I just hope you find your own way We walk on round stones until we have crossed And this side has shade trees and its a good place to stop I think you know now This is all a game Now take one good long look out into space Where are your worries, your conniptions, and your shame I think you know now That was all a game A force so strong can take you away From your self to the life they've made To some big noise with a perfect face To a brand new god but its always the same And I just hope you find your own way

Giant Children 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Revolving days, jumbled times Its World War III, banana pie Yeah poison gas and macaroons They chopped their heads like in cartoons Just like giant children Oil towns, metal sounds, finding passage in the night The future screams a secret theme Masquerading in the fight Procrastinate the sealed fate Blowing smoke rings in the sky I'll hold your hand and kiss the land Ok, let's go extinct Just like giant children

Coño picante, malo Veinte amantes, malo Yo necesito malo Nunca he bailado con un conquistador Pero si lo hiciera yo tendría un cuchillo Los extraterrestres, malo Espacio exterior, malo Yo necesito malo Nunca he bailado con un conquistador Pero si lo hiciera yo tendría un cuchillo Quiero bailar Quiero bailar

In The Palms 04:47
lyrics

Her bed is on fire with lovers that won't go away I'm sitting out back with flowers that smell in the night A circle turns inside us but we don't know Stepping from the shadows of our own lives I've seen them count it out The characters from a cardboard town Their life's blood is soaking in, into the ice But there ain't nothing there to burn The riders from the East gonna cut you down The suits from the West gonna sell your bones Nectar smears the red lips that kiss your palms A lost lover aching gonna take you home I've seen them count it out The characters from a cardboard town Their life's blood is soaking in, into the ice But there ain't nothing there to burn Has someone got a light on? We've gotta have our lights on Has someone got a light on? We've gotta have our lights on Her bed is on fire with lovers that won't go away I'm sitting out back with flowers that smell in the night A circle turns inside us but we don't know Stepping from the shadows of our own lives

The Steppes 04:05
lyrics

Lazing in the tree tops dreaming bout her lover She never ever had one and now she wants another The colors of the morning could never really reach her Then a little strip of blue slipped into her blind eyes Who are you? Who are you? 20 year old sailor floating through the tropics Soaking up the wisdom and learning that there ain't no plan Laid down with a local and spent a decade in her arms The fluorescent fruits and the serpents leaving lines in the sand Who are you? Who are you? Little brown chica is learning what she can do Washing in the river, the water's got a million hands Floating on her back she travels in the Pharaoh's sky Following the flutes till the notes liquify her spine Who are you? Who are you?

We Go Up 03:09
lyrics
buy track
A blue taxi in Venezuela Squeezing six people in an old Corolla Yes we're boundin' all around that scene Taking those corners like a capsized boat The lady sittin' middle can't stop cracking jokes And we're laughin' and I start to dream If you're falling towards the ground In a car that's upside down You go up Yeah you go up up up A pearl diving man in the deep blue sea He doesn't have a job he's got all that he needs Yes its flounder with a side of sea weed Some officers came with a science team They dropped an atom bomb off the shore of Bikini Got pounded, now its glowin' green No one knows the sound When all those fishies drown They go up Yeah they go up up up They go up Yeah they float up up up They go up Yeah they float up up up They go up Yeah and then we go up up up They go up Yeah and then we go up up up They go up Yeah and then we go up up up

Fires In The Dark 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Fires in the dark Can bring the colors back from distorted reality misplaced From the fortunes that we all intend to make The emptiness Yeah I don't try to understand the forces more powerful than me I surrendered in the morning on the sea The colors that burn Yeah its your life again It was never really so far away Just angled and a little bit astray Its a fortune that you even see the flames Its a fortune that you even see the flames Its a fortune that you even see the flames Of these fires in the dark
