1. Bare


I want to live where the sky is big
Simple and free
Thatīs where I want to be
Simple and free
Thatīs where I gotta be

Take my clothes off,
Be the one I am
In my own rhythm
Like the water

Simple and free
Thatīs where I gotta be

Just living day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day

Like a cherry seed
Let me learn to bleed
Breaking open
Like the sun

Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day

Why do I keep fucking her (?)

Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day



2. My Fidelity


Is it something ritual
Iīm caught in, canīt break the spell?
Is it moving in my body
Is it biological?
I gotta hand it to you
Youīve got one heart ten times divided.
Did you cut yourself in pieces
To get them all inside?

You dream about her, canīt you see?
Sheīs only shining bright
īCause sheīs so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While Iīm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.

Iīm rocking in my bed
I canīt talk canīt think canīt sleep.
And nothingīs jumping fences,
I only count what I cannot keep.
I lick my wounds,
I chase my instinct, like a cat.
I donīt know how I got so good
Or why my heartīs a trap.

You dream about her, canīt you see?
Sheīs only shining bright
īCause sheīs so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While Iīm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.

Why I love you, why I love you
Why I love you I donīt know,
Why I love you, why I love you, why.
Taking sides with my enemy
Making love to my fidelity.

You dream about her, canīt you see?
Sheīs only shining bright
īCause sheīs so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While Iīm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.

Iīm landlocked, stuck in here,
I donīt want to take my freedom.
I canīt change what makes me high
And I canīt change what I believe in.
Iīm not pleasing no guru,
Iīm not out to look for jesus.
Iīm not afraid to break the rules
Itīs just, one love keeps me breathing.

You dream about her, canīt you see?
Sheīs only shining bright
īCause sheīs so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While Iīm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.

Why I love you, why I love you
Why I love you I donīt know,
Why I love you, why I love you, why.
Taking sides with my enemy
Making love to my fidelity



3. Spirit In You


Under your skin thereīs something beckoning,
Thereīs something that makes me believe in you.
Behind your eyes, thatīs where the sacred lies,
You know I need to get through.

Oh here I go again.
Through the undergrowth again;
Feel the earth move, the planets spin
But I canīt get through.

Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
That I want to find.

Iīve seen your face, the one your mother made.
Now let me see what makes you really move.
I know youīre scared, I know itīs tender there,
Just let me closer let me get through.

O here I go again,
Through the undergrowth again,
Feel the earth move, the planets spin
But I canīt get through.

Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
That I want to find.

And when you make me feel
When you make me bleed,
My lucky stars fall down on me.
You know I need to know you,
I need to see,
I need to take ahold of whatīs underneath.
So close your eyes, close your eyes,
Unlock your mind, unlock your mind,
Throw off the fear, and let us fly.

O here I go again,
Through the undergrowth again;
Feel the earth move, the planets spin,
But I canīt get through.

Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
That I want to find.

Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
Itīs the spirit in you,
That I want to find.



4. Shell


Look at me Iīm smooth like a shell,
Put your head down
You can hear the ocean.
Hold my body - feel it roll,
So much inside and itīs all been broken.

You know itīs just one step out it could all be over,
You know this could rip us out at the seams.

Iīm falling; itīs all in your hands,
Donīt let it wash away.
Iīm aching; donīt take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.

Look at me Iīm out on the edge,
Put your hand here
See Iīm bleeding.
I canīt get it, get the light out
I canīt seem to tear out the feeling.

You know itīs just one step out it could all be over,
You know this could rip us out at the seams.

Iīm falling; itīs all in your hands,
Donīt let it wash away.
Iīm aching; donīt take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.

I am a box, I am a fish, I am a trail, I keep you warm,
And I remember stripping down to meet the water,
Wading out to where the sky turns under,
My insides smooth like a shell,
Like a shell...

You know this could rip us out at the seams.

Iīm falling; itīs all in your hands,
Donīt let it wash away.
Iīm aching; donīt take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.

Iīm falling; itīs all in your hands,
Donīt let it wash away.
Iīm aching; donīt take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.

Look at me Iīm smooth like a shell,
Put your head in
Hear the ocean, roll



5. Glow Stars


Kiss me, kiss me, under a glow-star sky;
If theyīre stuck on the ceiling I donīt mind.
Itīs a brittle world but itīs soft inside
Iīll make the milky way for you, only you
For you, only you.

And I will always ride far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.
Only you, with you, only you

Love me, love me, under a glow-star sky,
Itīs a galaxy when we get high
And sleep to the junkiesī lullabies,
I close my eyes for you, only you
You, only you.

And I will always ride far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.

I touch your face, Iīm flying over fields,
I touch this moment - itīs mine.
Iīm an angel, Iīm a parasite,
Iīm a vessel - I shine.

Kiss me, kiss me, under a glow-star sky,
Weīll be pushing up soil someday, sometime,
So hold me now, hold me tight,
Iīll make the milky way for you, only you,
For you, only you.

And I will always ride far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.

And I will always ride, kiss me kiss me, far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, kiss me kiss me, far into the night with you.
With you.



6. Ear To The Ground


Iīve been wondering,
Waiting for something to give,
I wonīt be a heroine,
Iīm just looking for something to live by.

And there are lesions in the soil
And there pockets of pain where the shadows lie,
And there are voices in the ocean,
And there is something in the sky.

A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you,
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground.

Itīs washing over me,
Itīs spinning, itīs spinning under me
And am I looking up at the angels
Or am I really looking up at the clouds floating by?
And when I say Iīm listening
Why is it I only hear you when you cry?

A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground

A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground



7. Second Skin


The bulletīs deep, Iīm not dreaming,
The blood I keep, while youīre healing.

Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Second skin.

Youīre riding high, you wonīt be falling
Donīt look behind, Iīm crawling.

Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?

Oh you could have been born to swim,
You could have been born to camouflage.

Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?

Does it pull ? a ring around your finger ?
Does it hurt ? and will it linger on ?

Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?

Have you have you have you have you



8. Mothertongue


I got my daddyīs eyes
But you gave me your double vision,
I got my daddyīs stride
Now Iīm walking blind with double vision.

And I can almost see your face now, in me.
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

You had to break the skin
To put the blood between us,
You did the dirty work
To put the blood between us.

And I can almost see your face now, in me.
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

Oooh rocking the seed in me
Oooh learning to speak the mothertongue.

Sometimes between the lines
I crashed, I couldīve killed you
I tried to go too fast
And I crashed, I couldīve killed you.

And I can almost see your face now, in me
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

Oooh rocking the seed in me
Oooh learning to speak the mothertongue.

But I can almost see your face now, in me
And I can almost feel the weight you carried

The mothertongue, the mothertongue.



9. All The Way


When birds fly they navigate by stars,
These nights the walls come down,
These nights are ours.

This love is life, I want to stay,
Iīll be beside you all the way.
All the way, all the way, all the way,
All the way, all the way, all the way.



10. Frontier


Sometimes Iīm an indian
Caught only by the sky,
I canīt go further
Iīm going inside.
See itīs like a ride
It turns you out in the night,
Youīre far from the road now,
But itīs getting brighter.

If you donīt believe it
Then loose yourself and feel it;
This is the bright frontier
Right now, right here;
This is the bright frontier
Right now, right here.

Taking hold of what we have,
Itīs easy now;
Weīre splitting it open
To eat the seeds.
Looking in at what weīve found,
Itīs easy now;
This big horizon,
Itīs you and me.

If you donīt believe it
Then loose yourself and feel it;
This is the bright frontier
Where the love runs free;
This is the bright frontier
The sky is the limit for you and me.

When you get to the top of something
Do you get that feeling?
Do you get that high?
When you get to the top of something
Do you get there, you want to jump off ?
Oh weīre going to keep on stretching out
Weīre going to ride on.

If you donīt believe it
Then loose yourself and feel it;
This is the bright frontier
Right now, right here;
Where the love runs free;
This is the bright frontier
The sky is the limit for you and me.
This is the bright frontier
Where the love runs free;
The sky is the limit for you and me.
Where the love runs free;
The sky is the limit for you and me.
This is the bright frontier.



11. Shaking The Doll


Oh I wonīt be your pretty baby,
I wonīt eat from your hand again.
And the man in the white says itīs alright,
He says, come on girl give up the fight.
Youīll go to sleep, there will be no pain.
Well I want to live with myself again.

Well, where we lived there was a lighthouse,
Throwing a white beam into our house,
Over my body when I was sleeping,
Over the secrets I was keeping,
I could tell myself there would be no pain,
But I have to live with myself again.

Iīm digging up, Iīm digging up,
Iīm digging up, Iīm digging up,
Iīm digging up, Iīm digging up,
Iīm digging in the earth.

Iīm looking for signs
And Iīm shaking the dolls
And the fairy-tales lied
And somewhere, back there
I didnīt understand,
Man and woman and woman and man.
And Iīm shaking the dolls
Iīm shaking the dolls.

Oooh, the dream isnīt coming through,
I canīt feel for you.

Well somewhere, back there
I didnīt understand,
Man and woman and woman and man,
And Iīm shaking the dolls
Iīm shaking the dolls.
Oooh I have to live with myself again,
Oohh I want to be with my body again,
Ooohyou canīt make me hollow again.

Oooh, the dream isnīt coming through
I canīt feel for you.

Love, shooting up, through my veins,
I gotta get a hit again.



12. Talking To Strangers


Iīm talking to strangers
To see what I feel,
Your face is changing now
And nothing seems real.

These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me;
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all.

Iīm talking to strangers
To see what I need;
This love between us now,
How itīs twisting in me.
I want to get it out,
I want to feel the breathing,
I want to really love,
I want to know the meaning,
I want to share all these things.

These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all

These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all
