Begin The Begin lyrics

Birdie in the hand for life’s rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer’s tie, a murderer’s shoe

Life’s rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree

These Days lyrics

Now I’m not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales
If I can, and I can
March into ocean, march into the sea

I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days

Fall On Me lyrics

There’s a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullyes
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky

Don’t fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it’s there for long) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me (It’s over it’s over me) (It’s gonna fall)

Cuyahoga lyrics

Let’s put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father’s father’s father tried, erased the parts he didn’t like
Let’s try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Hyena lyrics

Night time fell at the opening,
In the final act of the beginning of time.
Hyena take your role, the stage is set.
The town is safe again tonight

Hyena (I see the day ahead)
Hyena (and all that I’ve cried through)
Hyena (God knows you’re doin’ that, don’t you)

Hyena, sister look to your hand
Man you serve communal interest,

Underneath The Bunker lyrics

I will hide and you will hide
And we shall hide together here
Underneath the bunkers in the row

I have water I have rum
Wait for dawn and dawn shall come
Underneath the bunkers in the row

The Flowers Of Guatemala lyrics

I took a picture that I’ll have to send
People here are friendly and content
People here are colorful and bright
The flowers often bloom at night

Amanita is the name
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything

There’s something here I find hard to ignore
There’s something that I’ve never seen before
Amanita is the name they cover over everything

I Believe lyrics

When I was young and full of grace
and spirited--a rattlesnake.
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You’re on your honor not to tell

I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there’s the key,
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day

What If We Give It Away? lyrics

On the outside underneath the wall
All the money couldn’t buy
You’re mistaken no one’s standing there
For the record no one tried

Oh I try to
What if we give it away

Overlooking with a hollow eye
What’s pretending is it right
Eye for order a hand for what’s in line
Couldn’t follow couldn’t write

And our life is fine here
Stitch it on your tie here

Just A Touch lyrics

Well what in the world Women in black
Don’t you remember send us back
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last

Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch

You set the pace of what was to come
I have to carry on now that you’re gone
A day in the life well nobody laughed

Swan Swan H lyrics

Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Girl and dog he bore his cross
A long, low time ago, people talk to me

Johnny Reb what’s the price of fans
Forty a piece or three for one dollar
Hey captain don’t you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks

Night wings, her hair chains,
Here’s your wooden greenback, sing

Superman lyrics

(A Godzilla doll, in Japanese: This is a special news report.
Godzilla has been sighted in Tokyo Bay. The attack on it by the self-defense
force has been useless. He is heading towards the city. Aaaaggghh! )

I am I am I am Superman and I know what’s happening
I am I am I am Superman and I can do anything

You don’t really love that guy you make it with now do you
