A Thousand Lives
02:40
|
|||
|
I would live a thousand lives if I could
Explore and eat and dream and die, yeah I would
Become a postman or a priest or skydive
A dungeonmaster or mix drinks, can't decide
But I am glad
That, with everything I could have had,
I'm living this one with you
Could be on a southern farm, rolling
Singing, dancing in tap shoes on Broadway
I could have piles of money and by "piles" I mean
Numbers and commas projected on screens
But if I couldn't see you
I'd give it all up-- and that's true
Ideally though... I'd like the money too
Coulda been a marine... biologist
Could be on stage declaring aliens exist
So many opportunities that I have missed
But this one's good enough for me, I insist
But again, I'd like to mention
That if there's a parallel dimension
Where I'm loaded with cash and I still know you-oo-oo
Well that life could be good enough for me too
And without, I'd be the saddest
Even with my billionaire status
So if theres a way to do both
Let's do that
EEUHEHSGHGH!

Nerf Ranger

I'm a Nerf Ranger, certified
See my shiny badge and kickass ride
Licensed to dart you if you run
My goggles shield me from the sun
I'm a problem solver with my foam-bullet revolver
And my trusty hound will bound on down here if I call her
I'm a Nerf Ranger, protector of the yard
And I'm trying really, really hard
To keep coyotes and enemies at bay
Until bedtime comes and ends the day
Ahhh ahhh, ahhh ahhh
As a Nerf Ranger, I keep these streets clean
My piece is orange and neon green
I hit a squirrel once... at least, I think I did
Why do you expect so much from a little kid?
I'm a problem solver with my foam-bullet revolver
And my trusty hound will bound on down here if I call her
I'm a Nerf Ranger, protector of the yard
And I'm trying really, really hard
To keep coyotes and enemies at bay
Until bedtime comes and ends the day
Ahhh ahhh, ahhh ahhh
(Solo)
I'm a problem solver with my foam-bullet revolver
And my trusty hound will bound on down here if I call her
I'm a Nerf Ranger, protector of the yard
And I'm trying really, really hard
To keep coyotes and enemies at bay
Until bedtime comes and ends the day
Ahhh ahhh, ahhh ahhh
Call me Ranger, if there's danger

Rubik's Cube

Sandra got her colors mixed
Now she need that easy fix
And I wish I wasn't there to see her
Her slow descent could not be clearer
Maybe soon she'll give herself a twist
Can’t seem to escape he place she’s from
Her friends have all left her one by one
And the only ones that light her candle
Are the rich kids from Orlando
But they have her around just to make fun
She might be entertaining,
but she doesn’t mean to
She never really finds herself complete
Sees herself as but a puzzle piece
What would the small town be without her
Selling college students powder
She likes to be around the body heat
She’s not a square, she likes long walks at dark
Meets her boyfriend in the closed off park
Out in nature, they get flirty
Under bridges, chugging forties
And he pretends to like her jewelry art
The times are never changing
But she doesn’t want them to
Up the highway she stares
What things could be out there
Just one step could change life
Widen her eyes—
But why would she want to?!?
At night she has the same recurring dream
In the bed she’s had since seventeen
But in the morning she’s forgot it
Blinks her eyes and shakes it off and
Combs the fridge for leftover Chinese
But then she remembers
She ordered this week’s ago
(Small town Rubik’s cube,
she trades all her drugs for food!)

OKJ-II

We all though he was dead
Now he's back with a vengeance
Others out to avenge him
With one last strike
The rabid king with his mad thinking
A sad being fattening all alone
In the night
Here it goes again the parade
Marching across the town
Here it goes again, I'm afraid
The sky is falling down
Old King John
Old King John
Where he was bumbling before
Now he's seething and spitting
A promise he's never quitting
A promise unfulfilled
He used to be a real bore
Now he's 'come a real danger
Pitting stranger 'gainst stranger
Watching blood get spilled
Look at the plastic, gold spray-painted throne
The scared, withered prune of a man
High in the clouds where he can be all alone
And pretend he's reclaimed the land
Old King John
(I'm back, baby! Hah!)
Old King John
(Whoa-oh-oh!)
Old King John
(It's the second time around!)
Old King John
(Risen up from the ground!)
But now he lifts his rootlike feet from the sand
Revealing the whole man
Marching out, leading the blind and
And...
Old King John
(Yeah, good luck gettin' rid of me this time)
Old King John
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Old King John
(Did ya hear what I said?)
Old King John
AND NOW THE KING IS DEAD

Peak

Speeding through the trees, there’s room for you and me
Until we get to the edge
I can not understand, my mind can’t comprehend
What must be going through your head
The sky’s a cobalt blue, moonlit starlit through and through
Our shadows in embrace on the ground
I can’t stop this feelin’, when you are so appealin’
I see your face when I look all around
Cinthia
I’m helpless before your eyes I wish I could look
Into ya
I’m feeling paralyzed, Why’m I nervous
Let’s explore
I would get lost without you
Let’s do more
It’s your turn, I anxiously accuse
Whisper in my ear, what is your deepest fear
Tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine
Let’s stay up all night long, until the crack of dawn
When I’m with you, I lose my concept of time
One week we’ll reconvene, In this place so serene
Have a living, breathing moment alone
Amidst the forest, dear, the leaves are all you hear
As we wander towards the seemingly unknown
Valencia
Thank you for the advice to live my best life
I have to mention ya
For being my spirit guide
You were there
Helped me confront my fears, made it so clear
Taking care
I’d never have made it here

My friend
See you at the next island
Where it all ends
That’s where I am
See you
At cloud 2
Hope to
Find something new
Will this next place really be different?
I’m too afraid to ask any questions
Too scared to try to listen
I’m too afraid, too afraid, too scared now
I’m so scared
Follow
Through the window
Where it’s hollow
You know I’ll go
What will I find at this next little hideout?
I wanna know before I decide to ride out
Before I leave, I reach to turn the light out
I’m in the dark, why’s it dark, why’s it dark out?
I’m so scared

Canyon

|
Get off your horse, we're camping
I'll forge a fire between these rocks
These pillars I won't forget
Godly silhouettes on the sunset
This (s)unkissed we're stamping
Place ear to dust and hear who knocks
Mauve-shaded, it looks painted on
A landscape that's waited far too long
I'll build the tent, you'll marvel
At how balls of gas could be so artful
And so sweet
I'd fall forward through the canyon at your feet
There's a monsoon from high-noon to sundown
Full-moon fear in the town here left it rundown
Take shelter with me in this cave
There's no telling what will dig your grave
Out here, we're safe from evil stares
Our life we've flown from and no more scares
New lives for us out West
Do right and try our best
I'll build the home, you'll make it
Fill it with your soul so they can't take it
You're so sweet
I'd fall forward through the canyon at your feet

O, Angel
01:46

O, Angel who falleth from the sky
Who, among men, looks most outstanding
How gracefully you glide on by
But still your realm of Heaven is expanding
Billowy black smoke framing the sunrise
But still, there's pain in your eyes
Forced on your heels to walk these endless miles
To experience how it feels to face the painted-on smiles
We all like to think you're oblivious
But of course you know
'Cause you're not an idiot
And some day, you'll make your escape
But until then...
You will be and Angel who falleth from the sky
Who, among men, looks most outstanding
How gracefully you still glide on by
And we'll pretend your realm of heaven is expanding
O, Angel you come from the sky above
And your image gets me high on love
I said Angel we cherish you so
And we will never let you go

Television Man

Television Man if I took you apart
Would I find a pile of wires and a big copper heart
Tell me-- What turns you on when nobody's around?
Is it in the little dumpster hidden throughout the town?
You gotta find the power to make your own way
But I don't think you'll get that from three AA's
So plug in and pluck on
And it won't take too long
As long as you can hear my song
You're unsettled
And you're metal
Though your face for now is dark, I think your head'll
Start to glow up bright
But you gotta grow up right
And keep looking 'til you find the spark
Television Man tell me-- What do you dream?
Is it nothing but snowstorms, cold and serene?
So sad you can't find a connection without an adapter
How can you fast forward to the very next chapter?
Television Man I hear you hum at night
And your tubes, how they glow and flicker like firelight
So breathe deep and dream on
And it won't take too long
As long as you can hear my song
You're unsettled
And you're metal
Though your face for now is dark, I think your head'll
Start to glow up bright
But you gotta grow up right
And keep looking 'til you find the spark
Don't get your wires crossed
Don't press your on and off
Programmed to know your cost
Vacuums keep your parts soft
You're unsettled
And you're metal
Though your face for now is dark, I think your head'll
Start to glow up bright
But you gotta grow up right
And keep looking 'til you find the spark
Yeah keep looking 'til you find the spark
Just keep looking 'til you find the spark

I like spending my time with you, my friend
I hope this day will never end
I'll walk with you across the bridge and back again
Your turn, you choose our next destination
Night falls, rain falls, everything is falling it ain't stopping us at all
You're bright, I'm tall... And there's our problems solved
Gray clouds above, when I get pigeons when I wanted doves
You laugh, I love... We fit like two peas in a glove
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
When we're too shy to say what's on our mind
We stare at the sky, there's no telling what we might find
Conste-llations, cosmic vacations
Constant elation, caused by creation
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Picnics at the park, we'll stay 'till after dark
Like kids we'll play with the leaves and the tree bark
And I wish that time would just suspend
'Cause I hope this day will never end
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah I hope this day will never end
