We don't want to pull away
and we don't want to shut you out
Seems our souls have finally found
something they can't live without
We are physical energy
so we can't be everywhere
We can't keep our minds at ease
locked within your frozen stares
And so we return
back to the place where we learned
we're better off living alone
here in our own private home
We can feel the days go by
everything just blows away
We can feel society
trying to take the child away
We don't need to compromise
there's nothing that we really want
And we don't want to close our eyes
when everything just turns us on
And so we return
back to the place where we learned
We're better off living alone
We two and the medicine man
and a lock upon my door
We're sorry if you don't understand
but we don't need you. No more.
We're having the time of our lives
all locked inside this room
There's nothing we'd rather do
than to lose ourselves
in the bedroom shadows
We two and the medicine man
and a lock upon my door
I'm sorry if you don't understand
but I don't need anybody anymore.
We two and the medicine man
and a lock upon my door
She's sorry if you don't understand
but she don't need anybody anymore.
Just me and the medicine man
and a lock upon my door
I'm sorry if you don't understand
but I don't need anybody anymore.

Hey there animal boy
walking through the streets like an accident
You've got your headphones on
And the world's got a crush on you.
And you go out late to the bar,
but none of these people even know who you are
but if they did, they'd all be going home with you.
But like you came, you're leaving alone
down the blurry street that takes you back to your home
there's a voice in your head saying
"Something must be wrong with you."
You get home, lay alone on your bed
With criminal thoughts all swimming in your head
You sit up.... then decide to go to sleep instead.
And you're alone down here,
you might as well swallow the fear
It's an ugly little world
You're alone, it's real,
no matter how bad it feels
It's the only thing we know.
Hey there animal boy
you've got a friend in Jesus but he only annoys,
what some call love still sounds like a threat to me.
Still you tell me all your sweet little lies
that bring you comfort when you're drifting off to sleep at night
And I wonder, if I should kick the crutch from you.
And you're alone down here,
you might as well swallow the fear
It's an ugly little world.
You're alone, it's real,
no matter how bad it feels
It's the only thing we know.
Hey there Mr. Zoomorph,
if you listen up close I'll tell you what you are here for
To eat, shit, breed, then to die with the rest of the herd
Still, you think you're better than everyone else
because you've made a career out of lying to yourself
And you believe it, but you really are the only one.

Melody

Meet me in the fields tonight
underneath December skies
we will wait for morning light
And did you know, I wrote a poem for you
It's written on the wind.
And did you know, you touched my soul
hang on, hang on to me close 'til morning light.
I have seen your weary eyes
drifting off in candle light
I have laid down by your side
And now I know, I have a song to sing
A song for everyone
And now I know, I've got my mind
made up, oh, I want to take you everywhere.
I had been alone for many years
and there were times I thought the tears
would never end (Lonely boy)
I saw the clouds amongst the stars
I felt the pain inside my heart,
without a friend... I was lost.
Then I heard a melody
Floating across the fields to me
Saw you walking 'neath the trees
Then I awoke to find your morning eyes
staring into mine.
And we're alone, and everything's so right,
so beautiful in this room tonight

Starboard Floating
03:37
|

Lester bring the light in here & shine it on the map
I've got the pathways through the hemispheres
all laid across my lap
Lets navigate a way to penetrate electric fields
White mantis colonies persisting
through the paraenesis will
Starboard floating, me & the Mantis People
Millo Shanti, we are the forest people
Mani bring my gyroscope & set it by my side
we come through windows, walls & ceilings
sprinkling moon dust in your eyes
Your body it is sleeping but your spirit's over there
swirling unconscious & transparent
like a sickness in the air
as we go floating, me & the Mantis People
Millo Shanti, we are the forest people
I am sitting silent my familiar with me
It's trying to comfort us by saying
we're in control of this machine
The Maluse says we're floating
high above the reeling earth
as me & my familiar are floating in a hearse
Starboard floating, me & the Mantis People
Millo Shanti, we are the forest people

Friend
05:45
|

My brother is my friend
we mix our magic potions
we sit upon the roof
and drink the sun away
He marches through the fields
he paints the family portrait
there by the wagon wheel
he falls asleep in clover
And when our father died
he sat down in the pantry
He hung his head and cried
until his eyes were empty
My sister is my friend
we walk through marshy meadows
we reminisce and then
she makes off with her shadow
She has a yellow bike
she rides it to the market
Her son, he runs behind
"Be quick, it's nearly Sabbath"
We used to spin in fields
until we'd both fall down with laughter
I thought then to myself
we made the world spin faster
My mother is my friend
she prays for me to Jesus
I do not think he hears
but still sometimes I say "amen"
My daughter is my friend
although I seldom see her
Like me, she's very strange
I'm glad she wears the family name
I go back to my home
a little shack on down the trail
I blow each candle out
and wait for sunlight coming
My lover is my friend
she gives me velvet midnight
We walk off in the sun
they say it's hard to find us

mandy build me a totem
she's cutting out pictures of manta rays
she stands up naked with a painted face
She's into modern witchcraft
she wears her hair like a hippie child
she sits on the floor with eyes of fire
and when she looks at you
you feel her spirit burning through
she sucks you into night
then pushes you out the other side
mandy's electric people
she swears they all have tentacles
and speak to her through animals
they look a lot like Jesus
except they all have funny grins
and laugh when she takes her medicine
and when she's feeling low
she lays down naked on the floor
she's hiding razor blades
then checks the windows and the doors
we have a secret garden
right behind the silver dome
where me and mandy sit alone
she smashes all the toadstools
she looks up laughing and she says to me
our lives make real strange poetry
now mandy's bleeding light
her mouth fills up with foam
she floats above the stars
she's strung out all alone
she's looking very stoned
she's never coming home
she's never coming home
and that's what we want to say
mandy gets blown away

Doors & Letters
03:52
|

Somebody cried, they cried, opening doors & letters
I am alone, denied, somebody soon forgets you
There in the world outside, you are a silent statue
Distorted alone, in mind & nobody's there to catch you when you fall
Winter comes on strong & presses against your window
You are alone, in drones, with silence weighing on you crying
I see you sitting in your empty room
going through photos & opening all the wounds
I saw you standing by that empty chair,
where she'd sit & she'd stare and say I'll always be here for you.
You lay down in your bed with that hollow in you
then you feel a prisoner inside these walls alone
Somebody cried, they cried, opening doors & letters
I am a soul, denied & I've got to get a message to the world
I've been consumed by shadows of this room
tormented in limbo, a spiritual castaway
And there's a universe outside that door
I don't no what for but I think it's my enemy
I wake up in my bed, 'neath the frozen windows
I'll spend another day down here alone, alone, alone.

Crushed
03:02
|

I'm so afraid of her
because when she comes around
I'm just so dead to this world
and I promised myself
i wouldn't do this again
because every time i end up crying
I'm so ashamed to say
but I feel so alone
when you're not here with me
when I see you I know
I shouldn't look in your eyes
it takes my breath away
and every time
I close my eyes I feel you by my side
and I wanted to say
that should you go away
I think I would be crushed forever
I'm so afraid of you
because when you look at me
it's all I can do
to keep my soul to myself
and not just fall into you
I wonder if I did what would you do
I'm so in love with you
and it's hard to pretend
when I know that it's true
and I can't find the words
so I just keep it inside
I wonder if you see it in my eyes
So I close my eyes and feel you by my side
and I wanted to say
that should you go away
I think I would be crushed forevermore
So I close my eyes and feel you by my side
and I wanted to say, that should you go away
I think I would be crushed forevermore

She's into heroin
looks just like a mannequin
He's not paying rent this month
blew it all on junk
She's got every Nico record
he's got all the beatnik books
they're both into the underground
they swear real soon they'll leave this town
... and mostly drive around
She's a hemophiliac
he's the new Jack Kerouac
He keeps a needle by his book
he writes at night, she sits and looks
She's tightening the tourniquet
her eyes are rolling back, she's hit
with liquid moonlight in her veins
she's stretched beneath his hovering
He is Dr. Morphine
with pornographic magazines
She's into science fiction
a nicotine addiction
Sitting like two skeletons
with messy hair and pale white skin
there's no reason to go outside
let's you and I stay here inside
Barrett, Bowie, Beatles, needles
Arbus, Witkin, cockroach kitchen
long coat, black hat, electric doormat
sexless, sleepy, books of human oddities
anomalies, abominations,
experiments on masturbation
a suitcase full of secret lies,
a childhood photograph that smiles
a gravestone for a father's head
a child that will not know it's dad
no love, no god, no Jesus Christ
now fuck all this and let's get high

I walked alone today
through dismal rains
and misery haze
alone ....alone
On past graffiti walls
half paralyzed
down cold alleyways
alone ...alone
Strangers pass by on their way
I'm walking alone in the rain
On past the paper stand
the coffee shops
the cafes and bars
I go ... I go
I've got nowhere to be
but far away from
the shadows of home
alone ....alone
And nothing will get in my way
I'm walking alone in the rain.
Here in my overcoat
I stop beneath the
shop's overhang
unknown ...unknown
I watch the people in
the stations waiting
by the railways
unknown...unknown
I watch them get on to the train
standing alone in the rain

Into The Grey
03:16
|

I'm lost out in the stars, I'm all alone
in the streets of the city I walk at night
with strange eyes following me
I'm floating through the crowds, paranoid
that spacemen and angels are watching me
and I can't wake up from the dream...
I'm strung out in my room, I'm all junked up
like the voices of angels the morphine
throws blankets over the pain
I'm frightened to be seen, I'm going clean
so I lay in the black room for 7 days
with candles torturing me...
Satellites and twinkling stars
are circling my bedroom wall
and I can feel the curtain fall
I'm sinking into grey
Satellites and twinkling stars
are circling my bedroom wall
and I can feel the curtain fall
I'm sinking into grey

mind ward
I am in the silent corner
I take my medication
I don't want to see you
I look out the window
watching all the airplanes
floating weightless
standing in my raincoat
wearing my antenna
I'm receiving signals
from the other side
eye sore
hypodermic recluse
black spores
something's growing on me
I am in an ocean
of electric currents
flowing through subconscious
broken windows
microscopic people
eat the organism
floating on amoebas
crippling the host
and the light in this room it is mulberry gray
and if you were my friends then you'd all go away
I don't need anybody to watch me lay here and decay
just give me my medicine
and oh, please go away
Jinx is in the courtyard showing off his medals
