Happily Ever After

I feel it all the time
And sometimes
Not at all
Here in my creeping silence
I can hear it call
It calls me
Just as I start to move it trips me and I fall
That is all
Here in my speech tonight
My back's against the wall
Sometimes I feel quite huge
In fact I am quite small
It calls me
'Cause I wanna feel
I wanna touch
I try so hard to crawl
But through it all
You're making it easy
Here I go to conquer the world
That is all
You're making it easy
Here I go
I go
I go
Please tell me
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know what keeps me laughing
I wanna wake
Start with a shake
Re-enter my mirthquake
Yes I'm swinging from the rafters
'Cause we're
Happily ever.
Please be there tonight
I need you there tonight
Yes I walk with you, and talk with you
I'm your dimestore messiah yes you know that it's true
That is all
You're making it easy
Here I go to conquer the world
That is all
You're making it easy
Here I go
I go
I go
Please tell me
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know what keeps me laughing
I wanna wake
Start with a shake
Re-enter my mirthquake yeah
I wanna flow
I'm gonna grow
So now look out below
Yes I'm swinging from the rafters
'Cause we're
Happily ever after
Yes I'm dying from my laughter
'Cause we're
Happily ever
Through my endeavor
Yes we're happily ever
After
Please don't be square tonight
'Cause I'm in love with you.

Head and Shoulders
04:11
|

Check your conscience at the door
You won't be needing it here
They sent reporters
But their stories won't be aired tonight
It won't be difficult
No dividends or lies exchanged
You'll find it rather simple
My Harley is a rad machine
And you've got one heck of a head on your shoulders
Haphazard means make for haphazard dreams
I've seen it happen
Now the lions and vultures are coming around to her door
The Mystery fell
And the Locksmiths couldn't crack it
Now it's buried in the sand
I don't find the beach too keen anymore
But you've got one heck of a head on your shoulders
Come to think of it
Haphazard means make for haphazard dreams
For all its worth you can leave your questions on the floor
And bundle up your inhibitions
We'll lock up and never see them anymore
Your eyes in mine
And look at them silly humans
What do they know?
There's a beeline we can take
But we'll learn a little more scenic route
And you've got one heck of a head on your shoulders
Come to think of it all

I don't want to be your maker
I don't want to feel your pain
You're such a pretty undertaker
Please look away so I remain
I said I'll find you
You're running far away
You're such a simple kind of crazy
You're the fool to make the call
'Cause I'm a guy who's kind of crazy
I didn't want this thing at all
I said I'll find you
You're running far away
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
I leave you
I'm tired of your lame suggestions
I'm tired of this empty dream
My thoughts are not for your inspection
My thoughts are pure, my thoughts are clean
I'm a troubled individual, you know what I mean
I'm gonna find you
When you are far away
I said I'll find you
You're running far away
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
dig it
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
When you're marrying that metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a whore to culture
I leave you
What are you saying as I'm swaying in a heavenly bliss
Hacking heavy at the cross I kiss
I can dig it and take and talk it and fake it and make it the best
Animated, I can break the test
I'm jerking
Dig it I never said it I can break it down to the dirt
So quick, you won't feel the shirt
Slidin' glidin' from the neck of the bishop to the record I sleeve
Smell the chemical when I leave
I'm the bread, the wine, the joker, the pilgrim, the promise divine
The only color in your dead skyline
You are hopin' and prayin' that I will be stayin'
No time to believe
You're mechanical when I leave
Now you're livin' and dyin' in the blinkin' of the cannibal eye
Tear it open as it starts to fry
Purple egg of pain wrapped in yellow veins
You will annihilate the fantasy by breakin' your brains and cryin'
Marrying the metal sculpture
Comes to mind like a horticulture
Marrying the metal sculpture
I leave you
Only you.

Rubber Man
02:55
|

It's a perfect world
And I'm perfectly content
When perfect time is spent in my element
Be it a walk in the park (do it!)
I lose my bearings
But you don't need a book to be taught (you knew it!)
I'm a rubber man
In a rubber land
Take my rubber hand
Oh, give me vision
I'm a box of reason
It's you that I'm playing for
You I'm pleasin'
It's a perfect world
I feel fine
Though I know I'm blind
But ain't it great to feel fine
All that I can see belongs to me
Besides, it's free
Come as you mean to stay
Dance in my rubber light
Laugh in my rubber film
And we'll cut like a rubber knife
Oh, feel the vision
I'm lost indecision
I tunnelvision through the floor
'Cause I'm sure that you'll score
In a perfect world
Come sit next to me
We'll see it all
It's all on me
All that I saw was a box of reason
I spilled it across the floor
I'm a rubber man.

Permanent Part
03:59
|
|||
There's a cottage with a stable
And a horse named Marisa
Who is walking to the market every Sunday at the dawn
And there's an old gal in the bakeshop
Who pretends not to notice
As the children sneak her pastries and then lick their fingers clean
I want to make you a permanent part
Of the pictures in my memory and the places in my heart
I want to make you a permanent part
Of the dreams all coming true today
There's an old train on a grey track
He was the King of Locomotion
Now he dreams of roaring motion
As the wind echoes his fame
And there's a good book and a steeple
And a preacher named O'Reilly
Who is looking rather smiley as he opens up the gates
And there's a tavern full of locals that would boast six generations
Giving family occupations a place to lift their cheer
And there's a small girl in a dark room
That is shaking from a nightmare
And her father, now, who sits there and will hold away her fear
I want to make you a permanent part
Of the pictures in my memory and the places in my heart
I want to make you a permanent part
Of the dreams all coming true today
With you
With you
With me
Make you a permanent part
Of the pictures in my memory and the places in my heart
I want to make you a permanent part
Of the dreams all coming true today
With you
With you
With me
If I pray for you, would you pray for me

Lifeday
02:28
|
|||
Dreamers dream of days gone away
Baby thinks of things it will say
Boys will play the songs they wrote
While the ferryman drives the ferryboat
Girls will make the days seem sweet
As flowers drop treasure at their feet
The Chevy's at the levy and the levy isn't dry
This is Lifeday
Don't cry
Things that wash ashore are real
And sand is the only thing your feet feel
Holes won't exist, the hole's been fixed
Stops my mind from wandering
Lovers love the one they're with
A poor man revels in his gift
A cloud tastes silver on its lips
And I... I just wish
Give it up
Give it all
Give it now
Give it to me now
Papers write of things gone great
Mother plants her roses straight
For ice cream children never wait
Most of all, no one hates
Lifeday is a day I dream
A day I make when it all seems that the days we live are cold and mean
Most of all, it's just a dream
Dream, dream, on this day dream
On the eighth day
Given by a poet's scheme
On a big wish granted all my thoughts lean
But most of all, we all can dream
On Lifeday.

Kissing the Porpoise
04:16
|
|||
I go down to the ocean
To hear the velvet sound of sea
Entrapped by water in motion
A vision starts to come to me
I walk out into the water (this is my destiny)
To call upon an ancient friend
We speak and laugh without order
I hope this friendship never ends
He says, "My friend, I am dying."
He says, "Man, I'm already dead."
He says, "I'm the victim of a tiny little system little system that I never even touched before."
I said, "Just come here and rest your head."
So for now
I am kissing the porpoise
And my bottle-nosed buddy wants to kiss me back
Yes, I am kissing the porpoise
He's black-and-blue 'cause his blue has turned black
Blood is thicker than water, it's true
So when you spill your blood out in the blue
Dig it coming straight back
To you
I'd like to take the president of a popular chemical company
Strap on some heavy boots and drop him in that bay
So the sea creatures could come up to him and say
My gills, they feel your spills
My eyes, they see your lies
My fins, they know your sins
My home is dissed.
Liquidate.
Yes, I am kissing the porpoise
And my bottle-nosed buddy wants to kiss me back
Yes, I am kissing the porpoise
He's black-and-blue 'cause his blue has turned black.
