The Dam at Otter Creek

When all that's left to do
Is reflect on what's been done
This is where sadness breaths
The sadness of everyone
Just like when the guys
Built the Dam at Otter Creek
And all the water backed up
Deep enough to dive

We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked
By love
Deep enough to dive
Deep enough to dive
Oh be here now
Oh be here now
Oh be here now
Oh be here now

Just like when the guys
Built the Dam at Otter Creek
And all the water backed up
backed up backed up
Deep enough to dive
Hey yeah yeah

We took him there and three
In a stretcher made from trees
That had passed in the storm
Leave the hearse behind
To leave the curse
Oh be here now
Oh be here now
Oh be here now
Oh be here now
Oh be here now

We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked by love
We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked by love
Oh be here now
Oh be here now
Be here now yeah
Be here now yeah
Oh be here
Now now now

We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked
To the river flanked
To the river flanked by love

Selling the Drama

And to love: a god
And to fear: a flame
And to burn a crowd that has a name

And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known, just scream it from the wall

I've willed, I've walked
I've read, I've talked
I know, I know, I've been here before

Hey now we won't be raped
Hey now we won't be scarred like that

It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream

And to Christ: a cross
And to me: a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

Hey now we won't be raped
Hey now we won't be scarred like that

I Alone

It's easier not to be wise
And measure these thigns by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by

I'll read to you here save your eyes
You'll need them your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up
You've been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
To leave you there by yourself
Chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

It's easier not to be great
And measure these things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
And leave you there by yourself
Chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Yeah

Oh now
We took it back too far
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
All come runnin' back to you
All these rhythms that you hide
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

Iris

I liked the way my hand looked on your head
In the presence of my knuckles
But the beauty of this vision alone
Just like yesterday's sunset
Has been perverted by the sentimental
And mistaken for love

The felix of your truth will always break it
And the Iris of your eye
Always shake it
And the armies and
The armies I have created
Will always hate it
Will always bait you on

Oh oh

I liked the way my hand looked on your head
In the presence of my struggle
But the beauty of this vision alone
I can't shake from my tree just yet
It keeps invading all my private moments
Listen to me now

The felix of your truth will always break it
And the Iris of your eye
Always shake it
And the armies and
The armies I have created
Will always hate it
Will always bait you on
All
Always
Whooo
Come on
The felix of your truth
The Iris of your eyes
Whooo
Come on

The felix of your truth will always break it
And the Iris of your eye
Always shake it
And the armies and
The armies I
I have created
Will always hate it
They will always bait you on
The Iris of your eyes

Lightning Crashes

Lightning crashes
A new mother cries
Her placenta falls
To the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door

Lightning crashes
An old mother dies
Her intentions fall
To the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now
To the baby down the hall

Oh now feel it
Comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it

Lightning crashes
A new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris
Presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide
Hide

Oh now feel it
Comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it
I can feel it

Oh I
Oh I
Oh I

I can feel it
Comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it
I can feel it
Comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it
I can feel it
Comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it

Yeah ooh

This is not helping me at all
What you are doing here
In the name of God and Love
It's the distribution of fear
Pyramids healing wires
Analysts with fame
I haven't got your degree
And I forgot your name

Pick me up
And put me on the ground
Set me up
And spin me all around
No you are not the one
You are not the one

No sir

This is not helping me at all
Where did we get this plan
That you could give to me
What I might already have
Pyramids healing wires
A musician's fame
I volunteered you my eyes
In place of facing me

Pick me up
And put me on the ground
Set me up
And spin me all around
No you are not the one
You are not the one

Pick me up
And put me on the ground
Set me up
And spin me all around
You are not the one
You are not the one
I wish to see
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh Hitler in a robe of truth
My emptiness has built your altar
And I've worshipped myself in you forever
Until now

Pick me up
Set me up
Pick me up
Don't
Set me up
No you are not the one
No no
You are not the one I wish to see
I wish to see
I wish to see
I wish to see
No no

T.B.D.

In the moment I was losing my head
Readin' too much and losin' my head
And I was
Reachin' forward I was already there
Readin' too much and losin' my head

This information caused a cut in the line
Now I'm remembering God
And readin' too much It's so nice
The print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now

In the morning there are things to be read
And words to be said and food to be fed
But I won't be there
I'll be clutchin' on a megaphone pointed at my head
Would you be there
Would you kindly read this word for word
So loud and clear I can't remember
It all it needs to be clear
I tell you if the feeling drops out of your voice
Would you kindly pick it up

This is how
I'll go out tonight
Dressed in Blue
By the book tonight
This is how
I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book

We're talkin' anchors talkin' ships
We're talkin' seas
We're talkin' everything you need
You should be workin' now not only askin'
How and the where abouts of where you'll be
I don't suspect you will be thinking
When the brain is dead and the mind has taken over
This is a skill
This is not a game
Where have you been
Are you with us
Can you hear us
Got the megaphone pointed at you

This is how
I'll go out tonight
Dressed in Blue
By the book tonight
This is how
I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book

This is how
I'll go out tonight
Dressed in Blue
By the book tonight
This is how
I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book

In the moment I was losing my head
Readin' too much and losin' my head
And I was
Reachin' forward I was already there
Readin' too much
Losin' my head
Shouting out

Stage

I wanna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
Don't wanna die
I wanna bring my Captain Hook into the light

People I've seen my day
Renting and raving this beauty away
We are by and large the same
But words are too feeble they cannot contain

He was a "rock and roll messiah"
She was known for her childcare
The truth is gonna give up the world
If you can give up the stage
The stage
The stage
Come on

Don't do this
Wake me up tonight

How can you stand to late
Beside her

Waitress

Come on baby leave some change behind
She was a bitch but I don't care
She brought our food out on time
And wore a funky barrette in her hair

Come on baby leave some change behind
She was a bitch but good enough
To leave some change
Everybody's good
Good enough for some change

The girl's got family
She needs cash to buy aspirin for her pain
Everybody's good enough
For some change
Some fucking change

Come on baby leave some change behind
She was a bitch but I don't care
She brought our food out on time
And wore a funky barrette in her hair

Come on baby leave some change behind
She was a bitch but good enough
To leave some change
Everybody's good enough
For some change

We all get the flu we all get AIDS
We've got to stick together after all
Everybody's good enough
For some change
Some fucking change
Come one baby

With words for a feeling and all I've discovered

Go see the foreman go see the profiteer
On lonliness drives

And I want you here by my heart
And my head I can't start

White, Discussion

I talk of freedom
You talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
You'd much rather brag
And as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse
Continue to dampen the day
The coin flips again and again and again and again
As our santity walks away

All this discussion
Though politically correct
Is dead beyond destruction
Though it leaves me quite erect
And as the final sunset rolls behind the Earth
And the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you you'll look at me and we'll cray alot
But this will be what we said
This will be what we said

Look where all this talking got us baby
Look where all this talking got us baby
Look where all this talking got us baby
Look where all this talking got us baby
Oooh
Talk talk

Hey yeah...

And it'll be tonight

She rode a horse into my head
She rode a horse into my head
He-ey
She won't disipline the children
And now they're runnin' wild on the beach
And I don't care
No I don't care
No I don't care
Yeah hey hey

It's the middle of the night and you're here
Playin' dominoes and drinkin' beer
I thought of something deep to say
But my well is dipping dry today
Hey
Yeah hey hey

She rode a horse into my head

He-ey
