1. Warped


My tendency
For dependency
Is offending me
Itīs upending me
Iīm pretending see
To be strong and free
From my dependency
Itīs warping me

So much love
So rare to dare
Afraid of
Ever being there
Take me home
I need repair
Take me please
To anywhere

Descend
All the way
All the way
(warped)

Descended from
Demented men
Struggle with
The art of zen
Please donīt look
Too close at me
You might not like
What you see

Descend
All the way
All the way
Everyday
Warped
And scared
Of
Being
There

Night craving
Sends me crawling oh
Beg for mercy
Does it show
A vacancy
Thatīs full of holes
Hold me please
Iīm feeling cold

Descend
All the way
All the way
Everyday
Warped
And scared
Of
Being
There



2. Aeroplane


I like pleasure spiked with pain
Music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour jane
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Pleasure spikes with pain
That motherfuckerīs always spiked with pain

Looking in my own eyes (hey lord)
I canīt find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear mirror
Looking in my rear mirror
I can make it disappear
I can make it dis-ap-pear (have no fear)

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour jane
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Pleasures spiked with pain
That motherfuckerīs always spiked with pain

Sitting in my kitchen
Iīm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
Iīm overcoming gravity
Iīm overcoming gravity
Itīs easy when youīre sad to be
Itīs easy when youīre sad (sad not me)

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour jane
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Pleasures spiked with pain

Just one note
Could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from
The song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note
Could make me choke
One note thatīs
Not a lie
Just one note
Could cut my throat
One could make me die

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour jane
And music is my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain

Itīs my aeroplane
Itīs my aeroplane...



3. Deep Kick


It started when we were little kids
Free spirits but already tormented by our own hands
Given to us by our parents
We got together and wrote on desks and slept in laundry rooms near snowy mountains
And slipped through whatever cracks we can find
Minds altered
We didnīt falter
In portraying hysterical and tragic characters in a smog filled universe

We loved the dirty city
And the journeys away from it
We had not yet been or seen our friends
Selves chase tails round and round in downward spiral
Leaving trail of irretrievable vital life juice behind
Still the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz was impenetrable
And we lived inside it laughing with no clothes
And everything experimental ītill death was upon us
In our face mortality
And lots of things seemed futile then
But love and music can save us
And did
While the giant grey monster grew more poisoned and volatile around us
Jaws clamping down and spewing ugly shit around
Nothing is the same so we keep moving
We keep moving

(oooooooh... shit!)
(oooooooh... shit!)
Went off and got some hair cuts
Lookinī wild & got all drugged up
Hopped a train into the night
Got a ride with a transvestite
Two boys in san francisco
Two boys in san francisco
Blasted off in a bart bathroom
Those coppers woke us up
The motherfuckers woke us up

Two young brothers on a hover craft (hey hey hey hey hey)
Telepathics love and belly laughs (ha ha haha)

Storm the stage of universal
Slim shine talk box go subversal
Papaīs proud and so he sent us
Pounding hearts full and relentless
Two boys in london, england
Two boys in london, england
Climbing out of hostel windows
Wearing gear so out but in though
Come on kid and do the no no

Two young brothers on a hover craft (yeah)
Telepathics, love and belly laughs (oh yeah)

(oooooooh... shit!)
(oooooooh... shit!)
We went to fairfax high school
Jumped off buildings into their pools
Weīd sit down and grease at canters
Run like hell īcause they canīt catch us
Two boys in l.a. proper
Two boys in l.a. proper
Stealinī anything that we could
Gotta sneak into the starwood
Gotta peak into the deep good

I remember
Ten years ago in hollywood we did some good
And we did some real bad stuff
But the butthole surfers
Always said itīs better to regret something you did
Than something you didnīt do
Yeah we were young
And we were looking, looking
Looking for the deep kick...
Yeah, seen īem come seen īem go



4. My Friends


My friends are so depressed
I feel the question f your loneliness
Confide..., īcause Iīll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will

X girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you donīt know yourself

My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you donīt know yourself

Imagine me
Taught by tragedy
Release is peace

I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give... your love no matter what
What you said

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you donīt know yourself



5. Coffee Shop


I am just a lousy bum
Searching for the unknown crumb
The crumb... the crumb
Something or someone to come
Come along illuminate my lust
Combust
Confucius might have been confused
And buddha might have blown a fuse
I ooze... the muse

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like iggy pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot

Back and forth my bodyīs jerking
Will to thrill will not stop working
Work... and work
Iīll take you on a honeymoon
Jumping on a bed in a hotel room
The room... the groom
Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like iggy pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like iggy pop
Another go in the parking lot
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot



6. Pea


Iīm a little pea
I love the sky and the trees
Iīm a teeny tiny... little ant
Checking out this and that
I am nothing
So you have nothing to hide
And Iīm a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up

Oh yeah Iīm small
Oh yeah Iīm small

Fuck you asshole
You homophobic redneck dick
Youīre big and tough and macho
You can kick my ass
So fucking what
So fucking what
So fucking what
So fucking what



7. One Big Mob


I-am-you-are-me
I-am-you-are-me
I-am-you-are-me
I-am-you-are-me...

Good woman said you gotta believe
Submerge into the urge of we
Deliciously
The mystery
The mystery

One big mob (oh yeah oh yeah)
One big mob (oh yeah oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah oh yeah)
One big mob is

Ooze into into my noodle
East or west shepherd or poodle
Ladybug pinetree
To mingle with the bumblebee
A lover to the sun
And a brother to the cool breeze

One big mob is
One big mob (oh yeah oh yeah)
One big mob (oh yeah oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah oh yeah)
One big mob is

We live in the city
We live in the jungle
Itīs time to be drinking
A thimble humble
Everything you ever see
Is never more than you and me
Give it on in to the beauty of the mystery
One big mob is all

One big mob in one big home
A broken home
Iīd like to share some air with you
Some air with you
A morning forest full of truths
The green is blue
The head thatīs getting pregnant lives
To give and give

What was I thinking in my head
The color red
Breaking hearts instead of bread
Something I said
Checkmated by frustration
I need to be cut... loose
A different kind of being lost
A sullen cost

I-am-you-are-me
I-am-you-are-me
I-am-you-are-me
I-am-you-are-me...

Picaboo street
In timbuktu
Do I need repeat
That a boy
Named sue
Rockinī
To the beat
Of the kangaroo
Let me kiss your feet
And your
Forehead
Too
One big mob is



8. Walkabout


I think Iīll go on a walkabout
And find out... what itīs all about (and that ainīt fun)
Just me and my own two feet
In the heat... Iīve got myself to meet
A detective of perspective i
I need to try... and get a bigger eye (open wide)
Bloodwood flowers in my gaze
Walkabout... in a sunny daze (do me now)
On a walkabout

You could do it in the city
You could do it in a zone
You could do it in a dessert
You could do the unknown
On a walkabout

High dessert skies are what I spy
So fly... youīve got to wonder why (hmmm)
The stingrays must be fat this year
Moving slow... in my lowest gear
The digirido original man with a dream
I believe... the aborigine
On a walkabout

You could do it with a shuffle
You could do it with a stroll
You could do it with a stride
You could do the unknown
On a walkabout

A walk could cure most all my blues
Bare feet... or in my two shoes (one two)

I think Iīll go on a walkabout
Find out... what itīs all about (it canīt hurt to try)
Use your legs to rock it wide
Take a ride... to the other side



9. Tearjerker


My mouth fell open
Hoping that the truth would not be true
Refuse the news

Iīm feeling sick now
What the fuck am I supposed to do
Just loose and loose

First time I saw you
You were sitting backstage in a dress
A perfect mess

You never knew this
But I wanted badly for you to
Requite my love

Left on the floor
Leaving your body
When highs are the lows
And lows are the way
So hard to stay
Guess now you know
I love you so

I liked your whiskers
And I liked the dimple in your chin
Your pale blue eyes

You painted pictures
īcause the one who hurts can give so much
You gave me such

Left on the floor
Leaving your body
When highs are the lows
And lows are the way
So hard to stay
Guess now you know
I love you so



10. One Hot Minute


I was riding
Riding on my bike
Me with my friend
Weīre so alike

Am I all alone

She said all we
Have is this
We just had to stop
And share a kiss

Am I all alone

One hot minute - and Iīm in it - come and get it
One hot minute - and Iīm in it - come and get it
One hot minute - and Iīm in it - come and get it
When I chase it
I might waste it
Come and spill it

Am I all alone
Am I all alone

Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe Iīm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon
And eat the sun
Sitting in the fire

Close your eyes
And click your heels
Can you believe
How good it feels

Am I all alone

One hot minute - and Iīm in it - come and get it
One hot minute - and Iīm in it - come and get it
One hot minute - and Iīm in it - come and get it
When I chase it
I might waste it
Come and spill it

Am I all alone
Am I all alone

Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe Iīm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon
And eat the sun
Sitting in the fire

Three lbs. of love
Inside my skull
A million more lives
Itīs never dull
Just a few times spun
Spun around the sun
A couple more or less
And then weīre done

Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe Iīm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon
And eat the sun
Sitting in the fire



11. Falling Into Grace


What ever never knew that I could feel so good
Smile in your eyes
What ever never knew that I could walk through wood
I guess I never tried
A million years old but just a little girl
Vibinī off the gong
Rubbinī on the bowls make you float around
Make your lovinī strong

And when we get
In the same place
At the same time
It is your grace
That I want to fall right into now
To love avow

Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk
Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk

She moves in a rapture that her capsule might
Land on your star
Meditating in the morning, head dressed in white
Beauty bazaar
You can smell the purple light cominī from her heart
Get lost and wet
I treat you like a teacher, īcause thatīs what you are
I wanna be your pet

And when we get
In the same place
At the same time
It is your grace
That I want to fall right into now
To love avow

Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk
Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk

Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk
Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk

Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk
Iīm falling into grace with you
Iīm falling into guru muhk



12. Shallow Be Thy Game


I was not created
In the likeness of a fraud
Your hell is something scary
I prefer a loving god
We are not the center
Of this funny universe
And what is worse
I do not serve
In fear of such a... curse

Shallow be thy game
2000 years look in the mirror
You play the game of shame
And tell your people live in fear
A rival to the way you see
The bible let him be
Iīm a threat to your survival
And your control company

Youīll never burn me
Youīll never burn me
Iīll be your heretic
You canīt contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody

To anyone whoīs listeninī
Youīre not born into sin
The guilt they try and give you
Puke it in the nearest bin
Missionary maddness
Sweep up culture with a broom
Trashing ancient ways
Is par for the course
Itīs fucking rude

To think that youīre above
The laws of nature is a joke
Purple sashes feeding masses
Smoke on which to choke
I might be a monkey
When it comes to being holy
Fundamental hatred
Get down on your knees and

Youīll never burn me
Youīll never burn me
Iīll be your heretic
You canīt contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody

Youīll never burn me
Youīll never burn me
Iīll be your heretic
You canīt contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody
Youīll never burn me
Youīll never burn me
Iīll be your heretic
You canīt contain me
I am the power free
Truth belongs to everybody



13. Transcending


You are my god, you are my dog
You kept me close, love never lost
I called you hippie, you said fuck off
Said your brotherīs a real punk rocker

Something gonna happen
Something very soon
Transcending flesh could be a breeze
Sending me oh over the moon

Friends near death, you gave respect
Sympathetic intellect
Choices are, for one and all
All we are is, leaves that fall (thatīs all)

Always be loving you
Now Iīm away from you
Always be loving you

Round and round inside your head
Smartest fucker I ever met
Vicious fish bit at your toes
Made you lie and numb your soul

Something gonna happen
Something very soon
Transcending flesh could be a breeze
Sending me oh over the moon

Mule donkey ass you bore the load
Of all creations tortured souls
Choices are, for one and all
All we are is, leaves that fall

Hey, gone to stay
Entire lifetime flash before me
In a loving stream
Hey mother may I have lost a child
But she gave birth
To a loving stream

Ooh, never know.
When the gods will come and take you
To a loving stream

Ooh, heart of gold
The most special things you gave me were
From your loving stream

In a loving stream

Fuck the magazines
Fuck the green machine
See the human being
In a loving stream

Fuck the legal greed
Fuck the nothing scene
See the family
In a loving stream
