Very Ape

I'm buried up to my neck in
contradictionary flies
i take pride as the king of illiterature
i'm very ape, and very nice
out of the ground
into the sky
out of the sky
into the dirt
if you ever need anything please don't
hesitate to ask someone else first
i'm too busy acting like i'm all naive
i've seen it all, i was here first
out of the ground, into the sky, out of the sky, into the ground, out of the ground, into the sky, out of the sky, into the dirt

Crazy

You could call it green, you could call it blue
you could call it mean, you could call it cruel
you could call it me, you could call it you
crazy is as crazy does, crazy gone me like crazy was,
a crazy little bee with a crazy buzz
well I use my fingers and I use my thumbs
i use my feet when I play the drums
suck my teeth and I chew my gums
crazy in the rain crazy in the sun,
crazy when you start, crazy when you done,
crazy in your head when your heart goes numb
crazy sings and crazy screams
crazy is and crazy seems
crazy lives and crazy dreams
crazy lips and crazy loves
crazy dives and crazy doves
into a little lake of fire bout the size of my glove
you can lose your mind, but it take time
never quite sure when you cross the line
never quite sure when you cross the line
you can lose your will to live, but still
you hang around just to moan and sigh
hang around just a wondering why
why
crazy with a wink, crazy with a nudge
crazy on a mountain, crazy won't budge
crazy can't help you, but crazy don't judge
crazy dims and crazy glows
crazy smolders in the pit o' yo soul
said, crazy's wood, crazy's coal
said, crazy's dead and crazy's old
said, crazy's hot and crazy's cold
crazy as a lark, crazy as a loon
crazy as a duck crazy as a goose
crazy as a ox crazy as a moose
crazy as a man crazy as a moon
crazy as a murder crazy as a birth
crazy as a pagan crazy as a church
crazy cuts but don't bleed
crazy don't follow but crazy don't lead
crazy don't want what crazy needs

Strewn
03:50
|

Can't give it up
i've come to far
to fuck it up
to cut it loose in a waterless windy wasteland
so drag it along
like a blind saint
like a rabid apostle
in the dead afterglow
tether that raft
to a rickety faith
and cast that line
your thoughtless smile
your listless love
your toothless words
burning in a pile
your bandaged wound
brown with regret
the hard earned numbness of a sunken ship
your hope-filled plans
your faithful dog
your leather-bound leaflets of devotion
you sharpened tools
your woven clothes
these preparations
strewn

Yellowstone
04:43
|
|||
I have tried and tried and tried and tried
to be myself
and i have shied and shied and shied and shied
away from my reflection
and I have died and died and died
the thousand deaths of a coward
and now I pry and pry and pry and pry
on the frozen hatch of my heart
Yellowstone
in the spring time
never been
hope I get to go
now i'm miles and miles and miles and miles
from where I set out
and after trial and trial and trial and trial
i still ain't figured it out
so i cry and cry and cry and cry
for all the dreams that had to die
and the fire the fire the fire the fire
burns by the water's edge
Yellowstone
in the spring time
never been
hope I get to go

I Let My Love Survive
05:24

I let my love survive
i let my love survive
i would not kill it in spite
i did not kill it in spite
i let my love go hide
i let my love go hide
behind the rocks from the light
behind the rocks from the light
i let my love be weak
i let my love be weak
of voice and weak of song
I knew it's message was still strong
oh my weary heart
beating like the sun
nothing's been so hard
as using it for what it's for
I let my mind go wild
i let my mind go wild
as water in a storm
as water will do, in a storm
oh, my trusty heart
beating, like a wing
nothing's felt so far
as everyone and everything
mmmmmm
