Samba 03:32
I’ve been crawling up the vines that take me to your heart Fortunately I have been approved, five embrasures to the moon, I’m I too soon? An owl drinking Turkish coffee spitting out the grounds A Pawnee standing at my doorstep feathers for a crown The Cancer cries, the Gemini grins Leo sleeps by the fire he tends Capricorn stellar drums The Scorpio’s rise has now begun A condor soaring through the sky above meadows under yellow rain Deer heads telling bear pelts what a wonderful and fancy rug they make The jewels wrapped around your neck are they the ones you’ve found, Or did you take them from the mannequin in my wedding gown

Yellow Hand 03:24
Talked about the monkeys and the kangaroos but never mentioned the likes of you No creature deserves your status only a peacock in a petting zoo You come criticizing, how I’ve been exercising but clearly you don’t understand the way my legs are moving Words, stains dripping out of style Taking pleasure in picking on you So there you are standing on your couch Twenty records playing at the same time I’ve been working years to bring this to your ears How dare you break me on the spot? You’re like buying pork chops in a laundromat from a vegan in Birkenstocks You come criticizing, how I’ve been exercising But it all comes down to being empty when you don’t know Your words, stain reputations for miles Taking pleasure in picking on you So there you are standing on your couch Twenty records playing at the same time With a box of tissues in your left hand Your cat is licking your pride All yellow from your right hand How do you feed yourself? You dirty boy You dirty dirty boy With the yellow hand You dirty dirty boy We’re all laughing now Dirty dirty dirty dirty boy What have you been eating you (dirty dirty boy)

Aligned 02:51
Hi hello there, how are you doing? Can I offer a treat? Something sweet or something bitter Something bittersweet? You’ve planted the seeds of love in my brain My body is down in pain For some reason I ain’t slouching my back Everything is back on track Cause you make me feel alive You’re keeping me aligned Sorry baby didn’t catch your name My head is out playing games When you’re talking your lips are proposing Do you feel the same Shoots are poking the edge of my mind My body is covered in brine For some reason I ain’t slouching my back Everything is back on track Cause you make me feel alive You’re keeping me aligned So there you’ve got it you blew my cover I’m all in it for love Your hair is black Your eyes are green Your dress as white as a dove How can I cope with the Spanish accent? Electric spinal attack For a moment you got my train derailing Now everything’s back on track Cause you make me feel alive You’re keeping me aligned
4.
Waiting Room 02:58
I saw you in a magazine, your stare A paper strip of perfume through your hair If we meet each other some day, we can dance to the stars Unless we pretend, we won’t go very far I saw you in a magazine somewhere Between mint cigarettes and a sonic blue Corvair If we meet each other someday, we can kiss to the moon Unless we pretend, it won’t happen very soon I guess I know who you're making happy now How many people are you making happy now? I saw you in magazine

Remember baby twenty years ago? I was stepping out of school you back from Mexico If my memory serves me right We met at some anarchist book convention show We made love in a small apartment Was the month of May I remember clearly I was there for someone else Must've parted ways for lost of interest Then came that sudden urge to read a book I was no anarchist thought I'd better learn to cook We heated up that small apartment Hear those robins sing Why complicate it with somebody else Incinerate it all back to hell When I think of you baby it’s taking me somewhere Please leave me hanging at the bottom of your staircase For a while Baby you set my love on fire everyday Traveled out to many countries Back and over the moon Must have reached half our lives But the end ain’t coming soon We’ve come a long way It’s not a feeling, baby I know We must have at least another 40 years to go We belong together since the day we’ve met Why complicate it with somebody else You have a mind of your own Getting by your way Don’t change a thing for me Incinerate it all back to hell Baby you set my love on fire everyday

Blue baby tries to show me But she don’t see anything Leaves me hungry without no saying Closes the door and walks away And I remember as she goes Her hair is dancing in the wind And I remember as she goes She loves everyone Blue baby lost the concept of age Bleeding hearts and empty beds She plays a part on every stage She’s got to sacrifice to gain a little fame Yet she says she loves everyone But everybody else don’t know Yet she believes she loves everyone She loves everyone She can only do it so many times You can only do it so many times
7.
Friends 04:22
Friends! Wishing we could all be friends! I forget how much I need to be when I’m with you I forget how much I have to give to keep you merry Friends, you lose some along the way Friends, some are free and some you pay I forget how cool I got to look when I’m with you I forget how hot you need to run, must we be more than two Friends, they’ll drop you like a glass of wine Friends, disposable like our times Some friends are like mamas and papas Some friends are like sisters and brothers Some will teach you, some will take, some will give it back And it goes round and round in a big big fuckin circle again Friends, you lose some along the way Friends, keep the ones that make you happy Friendship lies on love True Friendship lies on love
8.
Feeler 03:30
Feeler There are monkeys, they’ll do what you do And sheep, they’ll be following you There are snakes, hissing up your ass And rats, they’ll take everything you have Too many people are so many People Too many people are so many All at once So tell me what is your cool Factor Let’s go singing Toothless and lots of pride Bring your buddies and friends and girlfriends too And everybody by your side And remember The lesson to be learned in your lifetime Is to be trying real hard to be somebody else So tell me what is your cool Factor There are monkeys, they’ll do what you do And sheep, they’ll be following you There are snakes, hissing up your ass And rats, they’ll take everything you have Too many people are so many People Too many people are All at once

What’s on your mind? Now you can say all you want to the world You’re free God hears your voice What will you say now that you can? What’s on your mind?
10.
Toi beau comme le merle, tu sors tes fusils L’un pointé vers moi, l’autre pointé vers le ciel Remplis d’étincelles Mais tu tires sans voix Assis sur ton cheval Un peu grand pour toi T’es perché là-haut, avec le soleil Qui fait briller tes yeux, blondir tes cheveux Mais fait plisser ta peau Envole-toi petit merle, retrouve ton bec Recolle tes ailes Pour sa liberté, il laissera tomber Sa famille et ses amis Ah ce qu’il est bien dans son esthétisme Comme le doux d’une girafe il a le pelage lisse Il adore regarder les gens de haut Mais le pauvre ça lui donne des maux de cou À force de toujours regarder par en bas Bleu c’est la couleur de son blouson Jaune c’est la couleur de ses bottes Rouge c’est la couleur de son caleçon Orange c’est la couleur de sa peau On peut l’apercevoir dans les grandes villes Dans les centres urbains il se sent bien Il s’abreuve du regard dans son miroir Il se nourrit des yeux rivés sur lui Bronzé Bronzé D’Amérique
11.
You are my lady You are my sunshine Together lazy That’s when our days become nights All we ever did was to be true How fragile are the strings, the ones pulling me and you All we’ve ever done was to be true Little strings tangled up in blue Love will see us through When our days become nights When your days are nights
