you're not a bad friend
silly will there's no such thing
ticket to a wet dream
it's coming but you can’t believe
if you're all that matters
your tastes had better satisfy
jan jan ike jan pona jan ike ike jan jan pona jan pona ala
ike ike jan ike jan jan pona ike jan jan kama jan pona ala
believe me when i tell ya
it's easier to close your mind
nobody can reach you
living but you're not alive
if knowing's all that matters
how will you grow when you know that you don’t know
jan jan ike jan pona jan ike ike jan jan pona jan pona ala
ike ike jan ike jan jan pona ike jan jan kama jan pona ala
it’s always sad
when the flower of a friend
forgets to take a drink
jan jan ike jan pona jan ike ike jan jan pona jan pona ala
ike ike jan ike jan jan pona ike jan jan kama jan pona ala
jan jan ike jan pona jan ike ike jan jan pona jan pona ala
ike ike jan ike jan jan pona ike jan jan kama jan pona ala

All My Sorrows
04:10
|
|||
|
well there's only one thing that money can't buy
true love that will never die
all my sorrows soon forgotten
carefree lovers down country lanes
don't know my grief, can't feel my pain
all my sorrows soon forgotten
but it's too late, my love.
too late but never mind
all my sorrows soon forgotten
now there's one more thing that troubles my mind
my love is gone, left me behind
all my sorrows soon forgotten
but it's too late, my love
too late but never mind
all my sorrows soon forgotten

Lacuna

it started with my mother
who used to hurt and desert me
left me alone for hours
dried out flowers
my only company
and so I guess it makes sense in a way
that I would chase this pattern again
go for the unavailable love
that I was raised to expect
so many years I thought I'd grown and learned
don't know why it's just my turn
and now it's you
I can’t believe I let it happen again
I really thought I'd finally found someone
who’d love me till the end
what can I do
the thought of leaving you hurts so bad
and do I really give my power away
to who a girl who drives me mad
well I must be
so you swing your fist
and how beautiful it is
when it comes crashing down on my face again
and then I'm falling to the ground
a group of strangers circle round
and say can I help you in a language I don't know
so many years I thought that I had grown
you’d think that I’d know better but I don’t
now it's you
and I can’t believe I let it happen again
I really thought I'd finally found someone
who’d love me till the end
what can I do
the thought of leaving you hurts so bad
and do I really give my power away
to who a girl who drives me mad
well I must be
I wrote this in a quite room
in the hope that you won't come home soon
now it's you
and I can’t believe I let it happen again
I really thought I'd finally found someone
who’d love me till the end
what can I do
the thought of leaving you hurts so bad
and do I really give my power away
to who a girl who drives me mad
well I must be

My Little Wherewithal
04:34
|
|||

am I so lonely in this world
without a heart that I
can press my chest into
I lie
and fetishize the end
where Buddha’s mind begins
to make nonsense of me
it’s true
I’ve nothing in this world
that means so much to me
that I would live for it
but don’t be blue
if I escape your gaze
continue anyway
know I was unafraid
because of you
my little wherewithal
a bright and shining star
for me to look upon
what can I do
if all is make believe
would you stay too
oh, like filter of the dawn
with damning beauty she
winds all my dark away
but I
I long to see the sun
with eyes as fresh as rain
and be so pure again
like you
my little wherewithal
a bright and shining star
for me to look upon
what could I do
if all were make believe
would you stay too
all is spinning gone
the map unfolds
no meaning left here anymore
so let us go
somewhere and hold what eyes can’t see
in space
no one can hear you scream
the space inside of you must be so comforting
that now feet lifting off the ground
I make me the bouquet
who gave old age away

I'd given up on love
until i saw it in your eye
never thought I'd find in a guy like you
never saw the sun
until we watched it rise
lying on my bed comparing sighs
and did you know
when you kissed me in your sleep
I was broken
you touched me
I'm complete
Michael
if you were my last meal I would die full
if you were a tower it's the Eiffel
all that I want to see so don't go
Michael
was it happenstance or is it fatal
never mind the distance as it transforms
come on back to New York and reclaim me
you've got a way
you penetrate my brain
amongst other things
I'm hanging up your picture
in my psychic frame
and that's where it's always going to stay
now I pretend you're near me
when I fall asleep
I spell your name with all the cracks in the concrete
Michael
if you were my last meal I would die full
if you were a tower it's the Eiffel
all that I want to see so don't go
Michael
was it happenstance or is it fatal
never mind the distance as it transforms
come on back to Paris and reclaim your Jane B.

Binary Stars
03:56
|

oh, there is so much that you should know
but our thoughts just slip away
like the turning of a page my words are gone forever
so linger for a while with me
and let us hold this moment true
we could float around the room
like we are binary stars
I love you that is all I know
you could take it anywhere you go
I will wrap your heart in a golden string
I will fill up the sky with my offering
until the end of time you will be mine
lo, with the kiss of rosy dawn
every dream we dreamed is gone
and all that beauty so sublime
I can never make it mine
but none of that matters much to me
if inside of your eye I see
the reflection of my own
staring back at me
I love you that is all I know
you could take it anywhere you go
I will wrap your heart in a golden string
I will fill up the sky with my offering
until the end of time you will be mine
angel I love you even though
at times you might not see it so
find your home inside of my heart
and surrender your own

I'm Gonna Have to Burn
04:02
|
|||
|
it’s such a mystery
why does the fire die?
with so much energy inside
is leaving worth my time
but when the weather doesn’t change
you know its time to quit
bury past in ash and
leave what we loved in the fire pit
but if I want to hurt you
I’m gonna have to hurt too
and if I want to burn you
I’m gonna have to burn
in every thought a leaf
destined to decompose
cremate the memories
our time together glows
so now it’s time to give it up
and be a wanderer
I need to gather up the leaves
and take my love out to the fire pit
but if I want to hurt you
I’m gonna have to hurt too
and if I want to burn you
I’m gonna have to burn

what if we don’t love each other?
we just love the feeling that we get from one another
is that the same?
look upon your mother
when love flows through you it is true it cannot smother
the light surrounding us
each and everyone’s
a wave upon the ocean
water in their souls
and when we leave you see
we never truly go
always returning to the place god only knows
it’s been a plan for us
loving so it seems
is not to satisfy your dreams
only to show you how unclean
you are and so am I
but that’s the point you’ve got to try
to be as one
to be better
but what if we don’t love each other?
we just love the freedom that we seek in one another
is that a shame?
listen to your brother
you’ve got a billion tries
to gaze into his eyes
and see that they're your own
loving so it seems
is not to satisfy your schemes
only to show you one cleaves
you are and so am I
but that’s the point you’ve got to try
to be as one
to be better

on time and space she had a lot to say
she spoke about them in a funny way
the day you’re born you die
and everything’s a lie
but what you are is beautiful
well you can tell I have a lot to learn
is there anything you want to show me?
it’s mighty fine to me
I’ve gone within to see
and what you are is beautiful
it’s in the movement of the trees
it’s in the long slow tragedies
and it’s inside untitled queen
it’s in the moment when you find me
and when you kiss me
I am reborn
you have rewritten me
not any rain
on our parade
the water moves right through me
it’s in the make up on your face
it’s in the hairstyles out of place
it’s in the molecules between
it’s in the moment when you find me
it’s in the movement of the trees
it’s inside every little thing
it’s in the songs you used to sing
it’s inside untitled queens
it’s in the movement of your face
it’s in the wig hairs out of place
it’s in the molecules between
it’s in the moment when you find me
