I am not a Mountain

I dreamed I was a mountain
with snow-peaks white and pure
and with the thawing of each Spring
my streams would rush to cure
the thirst from which you sweetly suffer
that daunts you every time you start to climb.
I dreamed I was a hero
fulfilling every task
steadfast with an answer for
everything you asked
and slaying all your daydreams dragons
and spitfire syntax cluttering your mind.
Horizons wide
Arise and Smile
Enlightened child
The Night is wild
But I am not a hero
and this is not a dream
and I cant find the words to say
exactly what I mean
so I'll just sit here softly singing
and hope that it will help you pass the time.
Horizons wide
Arise and Smile
Enlightened child
The Night is wild

Ain't Gonna Hurt

Beautiful Stranger
As sugar is sweet
We're the main attraction whenever we meet
Well I've seen all these signs
Yes I've been down the street
No I ain't gonna hurt no one no more
Beautiful Stranger
Your hand on my hip
The triggered responses all follow the script
I've lived out these scenes and I'm just not equipped
No I ain't gonna hurt no one no more
You and me, baby
We stared long at the light
Now we're battered bruised and blind
And I could swim through this sea of tears
But I'm gonna say good night
Beautiful Stranger
How hungry your eyes
We're so fascination exchanging sweet lies
Well it feels like Hello -- but its really Goodbye
No I ain't gonna hurt no one no more

I'm writing in pain from my head to my shoes
If this is love - please make it stop
Got me a case of those schism n' blues
If this is love - please make it stop
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
but its making it hard to live
yeh its making it hard to live
I've got to find a way...
I wait and pray for this anguish to stop
If this is love - please make it stop
my heart's like a blister that needs to be popped
If this is love - please make it stop
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
but its making it hard to live
yeh its making it hard to live
I'm up on the tightrope
If this is love - please make it stop
I taste my own blood
If this is love - please make it stop
a circus of junkies addicted to love

NYC

Your appetite’s gigantic
You bite that hand that feeds
And step upon your citizens
Who smile as they bleed
Take another piece of me, NYC
The Streets that gave us stories
Now tell the tale of greed
And avenues that sang the blues
Lay silent in defeat.
Take another piece of me, NYC
But there’s no place I can go
Where my heart feels more at home
Cruisin’ like that good ol’ circle line.
But there’s no place here left for me
No hope that I can see
CBGB’s gone a long long time.
Your kind are so unkindly
You’re brazen and naïve
So build another tower
With the dollars you deceive
Take another piece of me, NYC
With hands of steel and granite
You strangle the dissent.
You’re occupied and justified
This ain’t the 1%
But there’s no place that I can go
Where my heart feels so at home
Rumblin' like that A train down the track
But there’s no place here left for me
No hope that I can see
Looks like I am never ever comin’ back
Take another piece of me....NYC

On my nose
Always goes
to those same melodies
Day by day
Fades away
Tell me why I....
When the day is long and the night comes on
You can feel it happen it around you
From your lowly mate to the head of state
We’re all served our bones on a platter
Live forever and live today
The obstacles come undone
Live tomorrow and hear us say
We are here - We are one
When I scratch my itch
I got perfect pitch
Like a tree I know I’ll be marking
You can feel the trail
Wag its cosmic tail
And you'll hear the words I am barking
All I know
Comes and goes
No one nows what I mean
Dog is dead
in my head
So is God I...
Live forever and live today
The spectacle has begun
Live tomorrow and you will say
We are here, we are one

Walking Away
06:34
|

This ain’t summer weather in my head
And there's no sunshine in my bed
A razed agenda, the soil’s scorched
Brick and bread surrender to the torch
Then I looked at you
And your council that led us astray
Lest all dreams come true
We'll soon see the twilight streaming
Oh from out of the blue
You are walking away ������ �� ����
Words We once knew
You are walking away
Tossed like hand-grenade
From the cold hand of deceit
Wars call unto you
You are walking away
Burn marks and ashes, half-empty glasses
Bewildered children in fleeting fashions
If this is heaven, get me outta here
A street-scarred saviour devoid of passion
Then I look at you
and my wonderment ceaselessly sways
Lest all dreams come true
We'll soon see the twilight streaming
Oh, from out of the blue
You are walking away ������ �� ����
����Words we once knew
You are walking away
Spun like a satellite
Dazed and betrayed
Stars call to you
You are walking away

Glisten
03:39
|
|||
All the days that stretch out before us
All we leave behind
Congregate like a brave mosaic
From which we'll bravely shine
And we'll glisten in the darkness
For the ones that lost their way
Now the path is clear, the time is near
The light shines from our eyes
You and I bound by simple glories
Forged by nature's way
Calibrate constant constellations
And mark them with our praise
And we'll sing the rock of ages
To the mountains of the moon
Now the path is clear, the time is near
The light shines from our eyes

Aftermath

I swept the mirror off the floor
And left a note upon the door
The occupant has left address unknown
Brought your stuff out to the car
And left some things out in the yard
And wondered then
Would i see you face again
Shoot me down with your electric truth tonight
In the cold morning air it may seem alright
Shoot me down with your electric truth tonight
While the wicked of the world unleash their spite
I called your mama on the phone
through tears she said you were not alone
It made me sad to see her so bitter
And now the things that we had known
Are out of reach and we’re alone
We had such friends, we had such good times
Shoot me down with your electric truth tonight
In the cold morning air it may seem alright
Shoot me down with your electric truth tonight
While the wicked of the world unleash their spite
Well my friend I won’t see you tomorrow but we are one we are one
And these men whose cruelty brings such sorrow
We are one we are one
And blood that rushes in the gutters in the streets
In the minds of everyone today
Opens up into an ocean flooding the wastelands of humanity
We are one

Got to learn to live this life before I live again
Before I live again, before I live again
Look into the child’s eyes
before I live again Before I live again, before I live again
Just as the past dissolves away
The present fast is yesterday
The future calls and so we go
We stagger forth with all we know
Got to learn to live this life before I live again
Before I love again, before I love again
Look into the giant’s eyes
before I love again Before I love again, before I love again
In days we’re born, in nights we die
We chase the light we signify
The restless march, the dreamers lie
In grass below the vaulted sky

Somebody's Lovesong

And if you take my heart
Leave something for me
Though we may part
Lovers we’ll always be
And if you hear from a friend
That i've been untrue
Know in the end
I never meant to hurt you
And if you beat me to pulp
Stomp me to bits
Loving me the way you do
I still keep a flame, my love
Just for you
