Oh Ma
i got it made
picking berries by the bay
is that why you brought me to this place?
oh ma
there's a hum that shakes
up my heart strings every day
oh ma
i'm not sure I can take
then I go watch fish jump by the bay
ah ha ha ha
fish jump by the bay
oh pa
spirit lives
in the grasses that I kiss
oh pa
the television sits
oh pa
you plant seeds
you loved me and she grew me
oh pa
every day I choose to be
to make expressive things to help folks see
ah ha ha ha
all the beauty
nono
now you live
with ma and pa
each day you sit
by the window singing to the birds
aria's I'm sure they've never heard
nono
you want me
to sing to you from the TV
Nono
I guess we'll have to see
touching hearts takes time, I'll keep singing
ah ha ha ha
Ill keep singing
sister
is carrying a being maybe it will sing
I can teach it how to be free
to sing to the birds
and dance like a queen
ah ha ha ha
dance like a queen
I am not brave enough to bring
another life to this place
all ic and do is dance and sing to you
wont you join me too
ah ha ha ha

in the cold dark weather

i'm not sure I could do better.
you can't call it
free love
when your doin'
three love
cuz jealousy love
woud consume
me love
do you remind you of your father?
do you think we'll be together?

Too Damp
03:52
|
|||
|
I can't sleep next to you
you're too beautiful
too damp
I can taste it on your breath
I could hold you real tight
but just for a short time
when I leave you
I feel ok at best
I fell a long time ago
when you told me that you loved me
but I couldn't hear ya
cuz I didn't want to know
and that cabin in the pines
you said you'd build for us
have I told you how that thought fills my mind
with warmth my love
cuz it's beautiful
that I could be apart of your life
like cranberries floating on the bogs of the pines
we'll hold hands while we make love
singing softly to the night
I'll meet you when I fall asleep my dear from time to time
you'll be the bitter berry floating softly on the water from my eyes
and that beautiful baby boy
that laughing picture of you
with the bright blue eyes that could turn the dark to light
I need him
and you need him to
take that dampness out of your life
you open up the fridge and head alone into your room
I can hear that pop and sizzle calling over to the phases of the moon

These drops are falling on the ground
they settle softly with each sound
if we can't drink them anymore then we will fall
people are fighting on the ground
to hold earths tear drops safe and sound
they're being poisoned every day but still they stay
its not about us anymore
it's about protecting what we care for
and if we fall on to the ground we'll make the softest sound

Magic Powers
05:17
|

|
I don't know much about magic powers
I know that I have magic powers
I don't know much about magic powers
I know that we all have magic powers
the power to heal
the power to be truthful
the power to be real
the power to be real
we could turn the news off
we could take the energy of our anger
to gather to gather to figure out how to cut oil companies off
we could lovingly disempower this system
they could build all the pipelines they want but with what will they fill them?
I don't know much about magic powers
I know that I have magic powers
I don't know much about magic powers
I know that we all have magic powers
the power to heal
the power to be truthful
the power to be real
the power to be real
We must stand tall in this strong wind
we must hold the earth like we held our mother when we first touched her skin
we could lovingly disempower this system
we could lovingly disempower this man
oh it would be so good
we could lovingly disempower this system
oh it would feel so good
we could lovingly disempower this man
I don't know much about magic powers
I know that I have magic powers
I don't know much about magic powers
I know that we all have magic powers
the power to heal
the power to be truthful
the power to be real
the power to be real

That boy won't stop thinking
he's too depressed for you
gotta get that boy out of your head
cuz you know that boy's a fool
that boy's a fool
that boy's a fool
that man won't stop working
he ain't go time for you
gotta get that man outta your head
cuz you know that man's a fool
girl you got that something he is missing
but that don't mean shit when
your lips he's kissing
to your own heart beat
you must listen
he's got two left feet
he don't get your rhythm
that boy won't stop drinking
he's doing cocaine too
gotta get that boy out of your head cuz you know that boy's a fool
girl you got that something he is missing
but that don't mean shit when
your lips he's kissing
to your own heart beat
you must listen
he's got two left feet
he don't get your rhythm

Do to you
03:28
|

|
What you do to me
I'll do to you
and all your relations to
my dear I'm such apart of you
leapt into me as a child of 3
and your mother caught you
singing baby balooga
as a teen you leapt 90 feet
off a cliff and I held you
so did Susie Q
It impressed her too
now what do you do?
if you poison me
I'll poison you
and all your relations too
I know that in your heart thats true
its not what you want to do
you can only buy me for so long
in a plastic bottle
till the clean is gone
then you'll be making many trips to the toilet dear cuz you'll have the shits
so get your dick out of that pipeline
start making love to wind turbines
go home and share me with you wife
you can heat me up in coiled black pipes
then lay me in your garden so
I can help your flowers grow
then you can give them to your mom
on her birthday and she'll feel the love
what you do to me
I'll do to you
and all your relations to
my dear I'm such apart of you

folk, indie - Journey

Deep in my heart
I hold a vision of you my friend
not a judgement or an expectation
a vision a vision a vision of you my friend
a vision a vision a vision of you
my friend
journey to the center of your heart
to find the child
this fast pace keeps tearing us apart
from our hearts
remember that photograph of you and I playing in the bath
oh how we loved to laugh
and how we laughed and smiled and laughed and splashed
who hoo! yip yip yip! who hoo!
journey to the center of your heart
to find the child
this fast pace keeps tearing us apart
from our hearts
you'll never quite fill up if you keep putting that in your cup
you'll almost have to die until you find bath water's good enough
oh your good enough
journey to the center of your heart
to find the child
whohooo! Yip! yip! yip! yip! yip!

Go outside
03:23
|
|||
|
I'm probably the most impatient person I know
I can hardly watch the news cuz it hurts me so
every time I go outside I feel the peace, peace of mind
the birds and the bees and the crickets they soothe my soul
they soothe my soul
wuh hoo!
now everybody's gotta have their peiece of the pie
this becomes a problem when you don't ask why
cuz while your lookin' over there
their putting shit into our water and air
why did all the honey bees just die?
why'd they die?
wuh hoo!
every kid I know wants to play in the woods
when their parents aren't around to tell them it's no good
then they slip into the mud
get covered up, It's real fun
this precious earth holds children close to her heart
close to her heart
wuh hoo!
I don't want to go inside today
I just want to stay outside and play and play and play
I don't want to go inside today
I just want to stay outside and play and play and play
wuh hoo!
