Man
Ocean machines
Promise
L.A.
Morwar
Amsterdam
Red tomorrow
My girl
Road kill
That's life
Man
I watch you
In my silence 
I was you Last grey morning

I want you 
And I cast you 
And I face disaster 

(Chorus) I ask you, being man 
I have less use for dignification I know, 
In myself, I defy, 
Yet I fall to instinct primitive 
Am I here? 
Is this home? 
better run from myself, better run 

I want you 
Silently forgiven 
I want you 
The pain bestowed 

(chorus) I feel a change in the air, 
Outstretched to God, 
He fields the suffering 
A feeling close to me, who closes in? 
I knew I didn't have to go 
Feeding stop the hunger flat, low, living, 
Caution for a lunatic 
Left her behind, god-damnit 
She didn't have the luck to follow 

Well here's a little lie about the man she stole away 
'Night within a soul cries 'hallelujah' when your drowning' 
Once, fast below, woman It's fault is not your own, 
And as you are to my world, my world shall always be to you, 

you fucker 

Feed me, 
woman
I want you.

Ocean machines
I see the world in a hole 
I've known this feeling before 
I don't even know why I'm here 
I don't even know who I am 
Oh my machine 
My machine

I keep a watch out at night 
(I've seen the world in a hole) 
I'll go whenever it's right 
(I've seen the light) 

I don't even care who you are 
I don't even know why I'm here 

(Chorus) I've found a way through the Ocean Machines 
When it is time, we will know what it means
Life finds a way and that always will be 
When it is time we will see what we'll see 
I guarantee. 

I went alone All I need 
Time, it's time, It's almost time You come you'll goyou'll
never feel it. 

(Chorus) 

Signal!!! 
I Guarantee.

Promise
3:15 AM
Awake 

sweat lights fly by outside, 
Damn it, it's hot in here 
It's so hot
too hot to sleep 

All I need

Black on black, 
The red burns 
3:15 AM 
rises, beside, behind
It's easier to sleep, 
It happened,

there's nothing I can do about it. 

All I need I am finished now, 
I am full, 
I am ugly, 
I am your promise.

L.A.
I am one,
In this place,
No one feels my disgrace.
I am one in this room
No one sees, but I see you
...wanted
...lost me
...finally
...L.A.

I've been there,
Nights unseen
Dusk will breathe,
...hiding me
And every breath, of every hour
Tells me how I've lost the power...

...help me
...watch me
...Secada...

In my room it's still the same
In my mind I'll move again

In my eyes it's sheets of pain
In my size, I'll be again...L.A...

Morwar
in the morning 'bout three or so
can't stop thinking about what i know
in the morning 'bout three or so
can't stop thinking of the universe

i keep rocking, i keep rolling
trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there
keep dropping, keep rolling
put out the fire with the water
thinking creosote

in the morning with a beat up bud i know 
i can't fight a war without losing blood

in the morning 'bout three or so,
can't stop seeking what i need to know
god is in the mountain as is in the rock
and god is not concerned about keeping stock

so keep rocking, keep rolling
trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there,
keep dropping, keep rolling, 
put out the fire with the water
thinking creosote

all he ever wanted was to be alone
but you can't feel love without being loved!!

(can't fight a war without losing blood) 
(blood blood blood)
and all we ever wanted was love,
love! (doo wop boddum doo wapideewapideewapidee doo)
we can see the enemy, they say
hey! we don't want your war!
it's quite nice, white light, it's quite, it's quite extraordinary!
window! it's a window! it's white! it's quite quite
god, quiet! just a little bit of quiet please!

just stop the noise for once please!!

Amsterdam
Forty years from now, 
Will I still be scratching away at this hole, 
Will I look back into this jar and see a presence worth
mentioning? 

I'll be in Amsterdam in the morning, 
Walking in the footsteps of what I once believed in 

Forty years from now, 
Will I still be za-onda-way at this hole, 
We-saw-na-mentioning 
I'll be in Amsterdam in the morning, 
Walking in the footsteps of what I once believed in I know the
sign, 

In soft morning light, 
I know
I know 

I know the light 
Is it so over? 
I know the light 


Down the water 
If you say it's over then it's 
ron-zay-a-zone-y-eow-so

(indecipherable bullshit)

Road kill
A cute little bunny with a family of his own
Goes out one day to bring some supper home 
Then SMACK goes a semi as it smashes him dead 
Cracking open his furry bunny-rabbit head 
There was blood on the road, there was brains on the path 
Poor little bunny, half and half 
And as the heat of the sun dried the blood to his bones 
Poor little bunny ain't going home. 

Blood and guts, brains and noses 
Poor little bunny ain't got no toes-es 
Listen to me because I want a reaction 
All I ever find is a steaming little pile of

ROAD KILL! 
Intestines on my tire 
DEAD MEAT! 
Do you want a rabbit's feet?
ROAD KILL! 
ROAD KILL! 

-Can you pass the ketchup- 

Furry little squirrel, looking for some nuts 
-just hand me a napkin- 
And then a Hyundai hits it 
Spewing out his guts 
And the deer, if you could call it that, 
We found up on the rocks and PQQQUUICK! 
On the windshield goes Mr Fabby Fox 

Blood and guts, pus and boogers 
All I ever find are the mutilated cougars 
Listen to me because I want a reaction 
All I ever find is just a steaming little pile of 

ROAD KILL! 
Intestines on my tire 
DEAD MEAT! 
Do you want a rabbit's feet? 
ROAD KILL! 
ROAD KILL! 
ROAD KILL!
