Trillion Miles Away
Woke up this morning, the moon in my eye
With out any warning, from out of the sky
A shiny flashing saucer
About ten yards across her
I froze right there in awe, sir
Out of the door come a strange looking sight
I could have sworn I was fooled by the light
A real live green eyed space man
He walked up to my face, man
And there began the chase, man
After a while I knew he was cool
So I stopped running away like a fool
I ask what games they play
A trillion miles away
And this is what he say . . .

Nothing

Nothing
There's a place in the forest where I'm gonna be
A place in the mountains right next to the sea
And that's where you'll find me, vibrating the air
And there's nothing in this world
That can keep me from going there
'Cause I'm leaving the prison, the term I received
For wanting the the freedom we're all guaranteed
Now I'm gonna take it, can't wait anymore
And no mindless uniform
Can put me back behind his doors
I've got time for the changes, and space to expand
The mind and the dream, in the heart and the hand
And that's where you'll find me, vibrating like air
And there's nothing in this world
I say there's nothing anywhere

Parasox
Put your shoes on wash your face
Grab your hat, let's join the race
For the new planet
Green wild and still
So far away
On the way we'll have a chance
For some outer space romance
In the lush music
Dance in your sex
Is heavenly
Sitting in the garden shade
Beauty is the dream I made
The human race races on
Watching as the sunlight fades
Heart of fire face of life
Mother is a tortured wife
She feels the sly old parasites
Parachutes in paradise
Paralyzed, paranoid, parallax, paradox
Pair o' pants, pair o' shoes, pair o' socks

I think You're Losing My Mind
I wrote a song about a deep Russian lake
I wrote a song about the curse of religion
I wrote a song about a gender mistake
I wrote a song about the time running out
Because the time's running out
Where have I been all my life?
I think you're losing my mind
I'm alright
I am fine
But watch out
I think you're losing my mind
I'm right here
I'm OK
But beware
I think you're losing my mind
I tried to tell you that we've been here before
I tried to tell you that our lives are in danger
I tried to tell you I can't lie anymore
I tried to tell you that the time's running out
Because the time's running out
Where have I been all my life?
I think you're losing my mind
I had a dream that we would ruin the Earth
I had a dream that we would poison the planet
I had a dream that there would be a rebirth
I had a dream about the time running out
Because the time's running out
Where have I been all my life?
I think you're losing my mind

Going Down

Going Down
Think I'm in trouble
Feel like I'm lost at sea
Storm blew me sideways
Don't know where I'm bound to be
Longing to go home
Dreaming of better days
Simple and happy
Was another life
Looks like I'm here to stay
I hear a perpetual
Roaring sea
I hear a sky full of stars
Calling me
Come home
Find me
I've been here
For the entire climb
Save me
I'm going down
For the final time
Again
Dreamed I was special
Living to love and learn
Followed a phantom
Down a road of no return
Thought I heard laughter
Thought I would join the game
All these years after
Horrified to learn
I'd left a trail of pain
Waves call me home
Save me

Don't Be Sorry
The Badlands and the Yellowstone
Montana in the Eastern zone
A catfish in the bathtub
A piano in my bones
The dying wasn't real to me
Was too young to know life would be
So very temporary
Like the blossoms on a tree
Don't be sorry
Dry your eyes
Don't be sorry
Everybody cries
It's alright
A planet rolls beneath my feet
I stumble as it turns to meet
A massive stellar fireball
Bringing light and life and heat
A future that has come to be
A nightmare somehow shown to me
That morning as a warning
Fifty Summers gone to sea
Don't be sorry
Dry your eyes
Don't be sorry
Everybody tries
The Badlands and the Yellowstone
Montana in the Eastern zone
A catfish in the bathtub
A piano in my bones
When dying gets around to me
It's alright, what will be will be
So very temporary
Like the fruit under the tree
It's alright
Don't be sorry
Dry your eyes
Don't be sorry
Everybody dies

Desperation

Desperation
Another world, another life
I dreamt I was a dancer
I asked a man which way to go
And I still need an answer
I play enough to satisfy
My restless imagination
But movies, music, games, and beauty
Can't stop the rising wave of
Desperation
I work my job, I pay the bills
I spend all day doing one thing
A thousand channels on TV
And I'm still missing something
There must be more than work routines
And useless recreation
The body worship's getting old
Excuse me, this looks like a job for Desperation
We got the dogs, we got the cats
We got our vision enhancers
We got our garden in the back
But I still need an answer
A weathered town in Oregon
A hard beat radio station
The set and soundtrack for the film
Of my life
I think I'll call it Desperation

I Had No Idea

I Had No Idea
I laid on a stone
One cold April night
Beneath the Northern glow
The solar wind
Danced over the sky
A ghostly blue-green flow
I loved the sky
I loved the stars
That shined on through
But I had no idea
What love really was
Until I loved you
We rode the storm
Long as we could
Ignored the warning bell
A bitter wind
Rolled in overnight
And dreams of Heaven fell
I know the pain, the loss of love
We all go through
But I had no idea
What losing was
Until I lost you
The darker the night
The brighter the stars
That light the Milky Way
The Summer wind
Whispers through the trees
A dream of endless play
I love the trees
And the silent song
They're dancing to
But I had no idea
What love really was
Until I loved you

Somewhere Truly Near Me

Somewhere Truly Near Me
I just can't hear you
No, I can't even see you
But I can feel you
So I know you must be there
Somewhere
You've got me singing
Think I'm losing my mind
And if I lose you
It will mean the end of yours
Truly
My cherished heartbeat
Won't you be mine forever
'Cause when I'm near you
Well, I love the way you are
Near me

Do You See Me?

Do You See Me?
Do you see me?
Do you hear my voice?
If you just don't want to listen
To what your missin'
You won't know what to do
When you find out
You can touch me
Reach on out and touch me
Baby maybe you'd hear what I say
If I was on top of a misty mountain
Starved to the bone
Just sitting there alone
As hard as a stone
But wiser
Maybe people will listen to me
If I'm the bad news angerman on TV
Here have some more
There's hate, disease, and war
Well now here's the score
And you lose
Maybe you could see truth in my words
If I was in front of you working magic
If I made it snow
From blue skies and sun
Then would you know?
Or would you just run and hide?

Sirius
Don't you get tired?
I get tired of seeing people hurting each other
Here on this rolling rock we ride
With our troubled sisters and brothers
Wouldn't you like to know
Just how lucky we really are?
This the place where we all get
Our chances to visit the stars
Can you see a world with everybody
Letting everybody be just who they are?
And can you see us living life
As though we're all aware of where we are
Before we've gone too far?

Cats Eat Mice

Cats Eat Mice (Nimbus Grumbles)
LIghtning freezes the steamy night
Nimbus grumbles, don't like the light
Sounds like a mountain rolling down
To the river's mouth
When the water gets on my hide
Start a-running, get back inside
Here at the door I watch the show
To the West and South
When it's over I leave the house
Find a meal for a handsome mouse
Maybe a bread crust or two
Til the break of dawn
Getting into a tater peel
In between my little ribs I feel
Claws, and my throat is filled with teeth
And my breath is gone
Well, I guess that it's safe to say
Cats eat mice on a rainy day
All that she left here is my jaw
And my whiskered nose

My Last Goodbyes
I've said my last goodbyes
Soon I'll fly
High away
Back someday
Oh, I don't know where I'm going
Blue and blowing
Leaves around
Snow come down
Slow
He's just a shadow
Moving behind himself
He's just a silhouette
Down on the ground
Everywhere he looks
He sees is own eyes looking back
All the time he had has gone by
He called me and said he was
Dark and down
I told him that he was old
