Burden
02:53

I will help you with your burden
If you will help me with mine
I will keep the world turning
If you keep holding up the sky
And drying every eye
And holding all the sorrow
Until the day we die
I told you when we started
You may not like what you find
So busy with the slaughter
And all this meat to grind
It's just another crime
I'm keeping it with mine
It's our feet that cut the grooves in
The passages of time

Water Color Painting
02:43
|
|||
|
Took a walk along the cliff today
A burning boat sank beneath the waves
Red and yellow tulips begin to sway
Around the wind mill like a water color painting
Water colors look so bright
Capturing a certain light
Capturing a certain way
Water color painting day
Walking barefoot on the ocean side
Ravens post up on a plover sign
Then I saw the Special Memorial Wall
Randy Lee got stabbed in the arm
Chasing down some angry dude
Always with the attitude
Will it get him in the end?
Nice to see an old friend
Made my last stop at Adobe
Bought " Blood Meridian" from Johny
Drove across the Bay Bridge
On an evening ride
Quarantine ship
People trapped inside
One of them twinkling lights
Looked a little extra bright
As if it had something to say
Warning us to stay away

What happened to duck boy?
He don't come around.
Don't hear him quacking
down by the Pond
Anymore
Anymore
Maybe he's hiding
Did he fly away?
Did the cat creeping
Find him where he lay
Last night
Last night
Last time that we saw him
He was waddling By the shore
Something out there got him
Cuz he don't
Come around here anymore
I think about him
From time to time
Staring at the water
Trying to unwind
From the day
From the day
Last time that we saw him
He was waddling by the shore
Something out there got him
Cuz he don't
Come around here anymore

Green Winter
04:10
|
|||
|
The winter is wet and green
Like the novel by Ken Kesey
It still depresses me
Even though it's not snowing
Without the light to see
What does it all mean?
What's the point of being
In the dead of winter
People always hate when we complain
About all of the sunshine and the rain
It's a drain
Green winter
The rain falls endlessly
Like the stories by Ray Bradbury
It can drive you crazy
In the dead of winter
A clean well lighted place
Fit for Hemingway
He blew himself away
Think I'll wait 'til springtime
People always hate when we complain
About all of the sunshine and the rain
It's a drain
Green winter

I Wanna Dissolve
03:15
|
|||
|
I wanna dissolve
Behind closed doors where no one sees
An unresolved mystery
I wanna dissolve
In a bathtub full of lye
Surrounded by a swarm of flies
And when I dissolve
This song dissolves too
Dissolve into me
I'll dissolve into you
I wanna dissolve
Through the floor on LSD
Wrapped in love eternally
I wanna dissolve
A faceless crowd
There is no "me"
A single drop
In an endless see
And when I dissolve
This song dissolves too
Dissolve into me
I'll dissolve into you

Golden Hook
04:14
|
|||
|
Spring has finally sprung
With all the free goodies
The hook on which it's hung
Gold inlaid rubies
Just like drops of blood
Cooled in morning breeze
The color of the mud
Attracts all the groovies
Sing it for the one
Sing it for many
Children having fun
With their enemies
Once you're there
Once you're there
Your fine
Once you're there
Once you're there
You're mine
You're mine
Once you're there
You're mine
Once you're there
You're mine
Once you're there you're mine
Once there
You're mine
Once you're there
You're mine
Once you're there
You're mine
Once you're there
You're mine

Nazar
02:20
|
|||
|
High noon moon
Rabbit skin glue
Or a spider
At the bottom of the pool
Nazar hangs
From the rear view
Reflecting back
The bad juju
How many tears
Must we cry?
Will it be a million
Before we die?
Will there be a thousand
In the potters field?
Waiting for the empty
Space to fill?

Why'd You Cum?
04:04
|
|||
|
Well you looked down
From up there
At the town
Named Despair
Full of bones
And full of cold
Restless young
And ragged old
So you walked down
From up there
To help the town
Named Despair
But you fell down
And hit your head
Couldn't lift your arms
Couldn't lift your legs
Didn't know your face
Didn't know your name
And the people
Asked why you came
They said "Why'd you cum?"
"Why'd you cum?"
"Why'd you cum?"
"Why'd you cum?"

3120 MLK Jr. Way
01:45
|
|||
|
Close the door at night
Or the rats get in
We covered up the hole
With a sheet of tin
I woke up in the night
Staring at a face
Hovering above my bed
And calling out my name
The back yard is quite nice
Nasturtiums love the light
We laughed the night before
I wasn't frightened anymore
Our faces shown as one
Brighter than the sun
Hummingbirds and honey bees
Hover in the black berries

Christmas Rat
02:06
|
|||
|
Rat stole all my chestnuts
Out of my cast iron
In the dead of night
Under the stove top light
Black widow lives in the corner
But she's never a bother
She drinks her blood
From a tea cup
Made out of bugs
Dead rat stinks up the kitchen
This is not elegant living
The paint is peeling
There's cracks in the ceiling
A rusty old claw foot tub
The paint is peeling
There's cracks in the ceiling
A rusty old claw foot tub
Burning myrrh and frankincense
Chases off the pestilence
And covers up
The stench of death
While we open our Christmas presents

Nightmare Hare
02:12
|
|||
|
The hard come down
Is in the air
Let's go down town
We're almost there
So just sit back
In your chair
No more attacks
From the night mare hare
The nightmare hare
The road is long
Foul and fair
It's rolling on
Without a care
So just relax
In your chair
No more attacks
From the nightmare hare
The nightmare hare

Banana Avocado
01:54
|
|||
|
We're back where we begin again
Same place that the rats got in
They got banana avocado
They'll get it all
If we move to slow
'Nana avocado
If we move to slow
'Nana avocado
From my favorite fruit bowl
The cat doesn't do
That much at all
He sleeps in
a curled up ball
He's as orange
As the day
They came and
Took the sky away
Orange as the day
They took the sky away
Orange as the day
They took the sky away
