Common As Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood
I Love Portugal
I'm gonna return some day, I know it (some day)
I'm gonna buy me a home looking over the river in Oporto (river in Oporto)
Gonna get me a plate of melon and prosciutto and grilled sardines, a cup of coffee, and a bowl of gazpacho (bowl of gazpacho)
The USA can't pull the guns from the trolls of the country I live in
Can't get a grip on gun control
If we're gonna live with a president who's a huge fucking asshole
Then believe me, baby, I'm gonna buy me a home in Portugal

Dedicated to Bobby Jameson
Feels Like Heaven
I'll be your dreamboat lover and roll the dice
We'll shine in paradise
Get to know the things you fantasize
With you I swear it feels
It feels like heaven
It feels like heaven

The Iceberg
You Grew Up
You ever have a friend that became a fanatic
Most of you all haven't
But if you ever did
You'd understand the one thing they all have in common
That somebody took advantage of their damage as a kid
I knew a guy who's folks were professors
Proof in the flesh that Allah was a blesser
Grew up in a mid-western town, where there weren't many brown people he could seek reflection
Got picked on in school during lectures
Graduated hating everybody in his class
Picked on because he prayed five to the east
And he didn't eat meat that Allah said was bad
One day a man approached him in a mosque
Changed his life when he asked him a question
Do you ever feel your life was a loss
And what if I could teach you that life is a weapon
Attracted strong to the feeling of acceptance
He was soon gone with delusions of a cause

Plunge
Mustn't Hurry
Need someone but mustn't hurry
Something more but don't you worry
Need some time but mustn't hurry
Saw the blood but it's not scary

To the Bone
Permanating
do a whole album of these and I ~might consider~ putting you anywhere near the top 10 next time
Hold on, hold onto the minute
And sing it, and live it
It's always there
Hold on, hold onto the minute
And feel it, believe it

Something's Changing
Soak it Up
You've got just one shot at this, boy
Don't waste time like it won't run out
You've got the heart and the soul of a good man
So I'm left here, just wondering why

You Don't Know What Love Is (Billie Holiday cover)
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

American Dream
I Used To
I used to see your hands in their weird positions
Used to like your hair when you'd watch musicians
You said we'd know
Yeah, we'd know
But that's all wrong
That's all gone

Wishing everyone be
Back home in Jupiter, things are getting harder
Wishing everyone ease

She's My Collar
If I could take her down and run, then I'd call her
'Cause she's standing drama, she know I'll call her
She getting on the sun and then she order
Imagine me, imagine me now

We end up on the floor
You set my head free
I want you more and more
Don't wanna get clean
You're like morphine
You're like morphine
You're like morphine
You are my morphine

Go Farther in Lightness
Achilles Come Down
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
(Don’t listen, Achilles)
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
(You’re worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
(So much more than a rat)
You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
(No one asked your opinion)
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
(No one asked for your thoughts)
Be done with this now and jump off the roof/Be done with this now and get off the roof
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you
